Chapter 7 - !! friend you are my only hope!!

Sastika arrived home, secured the door, placed her shoes on the rack, and proceeded to the balcony area, where she often enjoyed sitting in the swing chair. It was nearly ten o'clock. Over the past two days, she found herself preoccupied with thoughts about her relationship with Dinesh. From the very beginning and throughout the first month, he had treated her with kindness, being the one to initiate their connection and even propose to her. However, gradually, things began to shift.

He began to mock her relentlessly, insulting her in front of his friends and taking credit for her work in the eyes of their superiors. He claimed they were alike, but his actions led to her losing a promotion in her career. Now, he has even started to meet her elder sister. As she sat on the swing chair, these thoughts resurfaced. The cool night breeze caressed her face, bringing a smile to her lips. With her eyes closed, she savored the beauty of the night, gazing at the stars and the moon from the balcony, accompanied by soft music. Suddenly, she received a call from an unfamiliar number. Slowly opening her eyes, she wondered who could be calling her at such an hour. The phone rang persistently, prompting her to answer. She pressed the green button and said, "Hello, who is this?"

For five minutes, there was no response, only the sound of breathing. She repeated her question, "Who is this?" but still received no reply.

She became tense and inquired once more, "Who is this? Hello, whoever you are, if you have something to say, please speak up; otherwise, I will end the call." She issued a warning. Finally, a woman responded, "I am Jaya speaking."

Sastika's eyes widened in ecstatic surprise at the name. Her mother was contacting her for the first time, and she could barely believe that this day would be so unforgettable. Excited, she said, "Maa, h... How are you, Maa? I am not having a dream, am I? Are you the one that called me? Jaya simply remained silent as Sastika asked her mother the same question over and over again.

Sastika calmed down after a little while and questioned her mother, "Yes, mom, you phoned me. Do you have anything vital to discuss with me?"She got right to the point. It saddens Swastika that her mother did not respond to her query, but she trusted her and said, "Mamma would love me."

Jaya later responded, "I just phoned you to come to our house. We have decided something about your marriage. What is the name of that boy who contacted us? He told us everything about you two and asked for a marriage." Jaya also revealed why she had called.

Sastika's moment of happiness was abruptly interrupted as she expressed to Dinesh her need for time to contemplate the idea of marriage. She questioned why he had suddenly reached out to her parents and how he had established contact with them, which only deepened her confusion. In a conversation with her mother, Sastika apologized, explaining that they were required to submit their projects to their superiors within two weeks, and that their promotions would depend on their performance. She emphasized the importance of her presence at work and stated that she could not take leave during this critical period. However, her mother did not heed her daughter's concerns. Ultimately, she insisted, stating that she was seeking permission for Sastika to return home, asserting that her daughter was destined for household responsibilities. Jaya warned her daughter to resign and come back, after which she abruptly ended the call.

Sastika, finding herself with no alternatives, was prompted by Dinesh to stand. In that moment, an idea struck her. To address her predicament, she contacted Maghizhini and detailed her situation, subsequently inquiring about the next steps to take.

Maghizhini began to offer various suggestions regarding Sastika's marriage, and Sastika diligently recorded everything in a notepad. The two then engaged in a thorough discussion to determine the most effective strategy to assess Dinesh's loyalty. After two hours of deliberation, they settled on a particular plan and outlined the timing and execution.

Maghizhini reassured Sastika, saying, "Listen, dear, we will initiate this plan tomorrow. We will also consider a plan B, ensuring that no harm comes to you this time." She instilled a sense of hope in Sastika.

At midnight, Diya and Dinesh shared a joyful video call, celebrating the success of their marriage plans. They felt confident that Sastika could not evade the situation; she would ultimately have to concede to Diya and Dinesh, especially since they were aware that invoking Jaya's name would compel her to agree to the marriage, given her emotional nature. "Let us celebrate again," Diya suggested, to which Dinesh concurred, knowing that no one would come to Sastika's aid, leaving her with no escape.

Sastika took a deep breath, checked her email one last time, sent a message to her superior, and then went to bed.

Later, Dinesh inquired of Diya, "How many more days must I pretend to be a loving person towards Sastika?"

Diya replied, "I have an excellent plan. At the time of the marriage, we will implement it, which will lead my family to completely displace her from our home. Subsequently, her father will also transfer her share of the property to us out of guilt."

Upon hearing this, Dinesh felt a surge of happiness at the prospect of acquiring Sastika's property and began to contemplate how he would utilize it.

Noticing Dinesh's daydreaming, Diya asked, "What are you planning regarding Diya's property already?"

Dinesh responded, "Yes, my dear. I am eagerly awaiting that moment. Once your family sets the wedding date, I will show that emotional fool what true despair looks like. After enduring her attitude these past days, I am determined to break her spirit so that she can never recover." He also told , when I saw her First I thought to use her for my office work but when I saw you I decided my life will be great with you for that I want sastika . And Today you are my love he expressed his love to Diya.

Diya overwhelmed and felt that she flying. On the sky wings . She felt proud of herself by Dinesh poetry speaking . She also thought that sister lover' s first love is she only and her sister . By few moe hours they spent their timings by speaking and went to sleep.
