AARAV'S POV
After talking to my mother when she left my room, I was in dilemma whether to say yes or no. !?!? Is it really okay to trust someone again. ? What if something happens again like this..? I really tried hard to get out of that shit, now I don't want anything like this.
Am I really ready for this .?
I was in my thoughts when I heard a knock on the door. I got up and opened the door, here she was. My Princess. My younger sister, my baby.
"Can I come in bhaiya. ? "
"You don't have to ask princess. It's your room also, you can come here anytime without knocking. Is everything okay.?" I asked her because it's rare she comes to my
room.
"Yes bhaiya...every...everything is fine. I just want..to have... a chat... with you." She said hesitantly.
"Bacha is someone or something bothering you. ? Do tell me without hesitation please. You don't have to scared of anything specially from me. I may look like cold but for you I am soft." I asked her while making her comfortable.
"No, no bhaiya no one is bothering me. I just want to talk about you."
"About me. ? What do you want to talk about me bacha.?" I thought what she wants to talk about me.
"Bhaiya I know I am younger than all three of you. I have no experience of anything like this. I don't want to interfere in your privacy but I want your happiness bhaiya I just want you to be happy.
I want my brother back. I don't like the way you are leading your life now. You are making excuses everytime whenever we want to talk about you and your life. We all are worried about you. You may seem okay in front of everyone but I know deep down you are broken and you don't want things to happen again like before but bhaiya I want to say something.
Being a girl I can say that not every girl is same.
If a girl does cheating with you it doesn't mean that every girl is a cheater. What if the girl you would be marrying fills all your life with happiness? What if that girl treats you like you are her world.? What if she wants you and only you. ? She might be the right person for you. What if she would be after you, not for our money and name.?
It can possible bhaiya. Please think about it and do give your life a chance. What if this marriage is a blessing from God itself. Nobody knows what HE has written in our our life. So atleast Trust HIM and think. I know you don't believe in GOD now, but still I must say just go with the flow. Sometimes we have to leave the things in HIS hands only. Maybe just maybe someone beautiful is written in your life. From Beautiful I didn't mean by external beauty but from inner beauty.
I just want you and your happiness. I don't want my brother to be sad.
And moreover why I am convincing you for married is because I am fed up of my all three brothers, who teases me whenever they get a chance. Atleast she can take my side and may be she can be crime partner too." She said the last part smilingly. She is my younger sister but today what she said was way more like a matured person to be in this age.
"I promise princess I will think about it but in a positive way, I won't let you down. I know everyone is concerned about me and you all know want my happiness." I replied and to made sure that she was convinced.
We talked about her studies. She told me everything about her college, her friends. We talked for about half an hour, after that she wished me Good Night and left from there.
My mind was clearly a mess. I was not in a state of thinking anymore, so to relax I quickly rushed to the bathroom to have a bath. I remove my clothes, stand under the shower and let the warm water remove my tension.
While taking shower I thought about all these things my mother and my sister told me.
Is it completely okay to marry anyone whom we haven't met.? She was my first love and I got betrayed from her. And moving on from her was not easy for me. I may look okay from outside but deep down only I know how much I am broken. I just want happiness of my family that's why I cut down the intake of alcohol and talk to my family. I just don't want them to suffer because of me.
What if she, whoever the girl would be to whom I will marry, doesn't respect my family?
What if she wants only my surname ?
What if she will treat me only as her ATM not husband?
There were many IF's but I was not able to sort out any of these. I turn off the shower. Grab a towel from the shelf. Wipe off the water and wrap the bathrobe around my body. I came outside and start drying my wet hair in front of dressing table.
I changed into my track pants. I don't like wearing t shirt at night as no one is going to come in, so it's my comfort zone. I got outside in the balcony, lit up cigarette and start dragging the puffs from it.
Nowadays when I don't drink, I smoke. I know it's harmful for health but I am trying to limit the intake of it too.
After having cigarette, I went inside the room. I sat on the bed, took my laptop and checked the pending work of college. After sometime I didn't even realise when sleep took over me.

Samayara's POV
After coming back to house from Shaanu's place, I went straight to my grandparents room but not without knocking. Everyone has privacy and we should not cross the line.
They were discussing about something but when they saw me they keep quiet. I went to them and greet them wishes. As usual they do reply but not with warm smile. It was cold like they don't like presence. Koi baat nahi, mujhe to is cheez ki aadat hai ab but deep down I really feel bad.
I don't even know why they behave like this. I haven't done anything.
After coming out from there room I went straight to the kitchen because I know my mother and Chachi would be there only.
They both were also discussing, when I asked my mother said it's nothing.
But when I ask chachi she said, "Palak k liye rishta aaya hai. "I was shocked and almost screamed. "Kya ?."
Chachi scolded me by saying, "Chup kar pagal ladki, tere daadu daadi ne sun liya na to gadbad ho jaayegi. Unhone manaa kiya hai abhi btaane se. Raat ko baat hogi is baare mein."
I was not in favour of this and I can't control my feelings. I just said, "Chachi kya jaroori hai shaadi karna? Abhi to didi ne apna career start Kiya hai abhi se shaadi kar do.? Kyu.? Bojh hain kya hum . ? Use set to ho jaane do, kyu baar baar shaadi ki baat aa jaati hai. Kyu hum wo kaam nahi kar sakte jo humein pasand hai .? Aap jaante ho na didi ko kisi achhi company mein job karni thi par nahi humaare ghar walo ne to jaise thaan rakha hai ki kisi ko bhi apne Mann ki karne nahi deni. Aapko pta hai na isi wajah se dono bhaiya....
I don't even complete my sentence when I feel something warm on my cheek and I realised my mother had slapped me hard. I was completely numb.
I started crying and ask her, "Kyu... Galat to kuch nahi bola Maine. ? Aap btao kya galat tha isme. ? Aap he ki beti hoon na main. ? Kya apni behan k liye bol nahi sakti.? Ek baar us se to puchh lo. Shaadi k liye wo tyaar hai bhi ya nahi.? Kyu usko force kar rahe ho shaadi k liye.... I was saying all this while crying when my mother again raised her hand to slap me but this time chachi stopped her by saying, " Jaane dijiye didi bachi hai abhi, kyu maar rahi hain . ?
"Bachi nahi hai, iski bhi shaadi ki umar ho rahi hai, pehle Palak ki shaadi karenge aur phir iski bhi karni hai. Dono ladkiyo ki shaadi koi majaak hai kya. ?" My mother was saying all this while glaring at me.
"Jiski shaadi karni hai karo, meri shaadi ka naam mat lena. Mujhe nahi karni shaadi, aur agar jyada hai to chali jaaungi kahin par shaadi nahi karungi." I couldn't control myself now. Koi kaam nahi hai to shaadi karwa do. Humaari life majaak hai kya? I didn't realise that I was crying.
Chachi wiped my tears and said, "Beta tu upar ja apne room mein main tere liye chai laati hoon. "
Without looking at my mother I left from the kitchen. I came to my room, went straight to bathroom to have shower. I don't want anything and anyone. I just want to remove my frustration and taking shower is the
is the only solution for me atleast.
I stand under the shower and let the water soak me. I didn't even remove my clothes. I just need to remove my stress. I took a long shower. I removed my wet clothes, grabbed my towel and wipe off the water. I put on fresh clothes which are my lower t shirt, my comfort zone.
I came out of the bathroom only to see chachi sitting on the bed with tray. She had bought chai with maggi. She knows when I got stress, I need either chai or maggi and today she bought both of them to lighten my mood. That's why I love her. She treats me like her own daughter. It's not like that I don't get scolded by her, I do but she knows how to treat me unlike my mother. Sometimes I fear Do she treat me like this when she will learn about my past. ?
I overcome that thought and came towards the other side of the bed. I sat on bed and Chachi said, "chal ab gussa mat kar jyada aur ye tera favourite hai kha le . "
Chachi ek baat puchhu aapse, aap bura to nahi maanengi?"
"Nahi maanungi, puchh."
"Chachi jab aapki shaadi hui to aapki age kya thi aur aapka koi sapna tha kya .? Aapne khud se haan kar di thi ya force Kiya gya tha . ?"
She looked at me surprisingly because she never thought I would ask her such questions.
She said, "Main teri umar ki thi jab meri shaadi hui. Main teacher bann na chahti thi par mere parents ne meri suni nahi aur meri shaadi karwa di. Socha tha yahan aa kar apni padhaayi poori kar lungi. par tere daadu ne manaa kar diya ye bolkar ki humaare ghar ki bahuyein ghar se bahar nahi jaayengi. Tere chachu ne unhe samjhaane ki koshish bhi ki par unhone humein dhamki de di ki agar hum unke khilaaf gaye to wo humein ghar se nikal denge aur humein bilkul support nahi milega. Un dino humaari himmat nahi hui unke against jaane ki aur maine bhi umeed chhod di aur housewife ban gayi. Tere chachu bhi darr gaye they kyuki kaam bhi tab naya naya tha aur agar hum log alag ho jaate to kaam par bhi farak padta. Family ki reputation kharaab na ho, log ye na bolein ki bahu ne aate he bete ko ghar se, gharwalo se alag kar diya isliye humne kabhi apne bado k aage nahi bola"
Chachi was crying thinking about that and I feel guilty why I asked her these questions.
"Sorry chachi, mujhe nahi pta tha ki aapko itna bura lagega. Achha chhodo ek baat to btao, Arjun bhaiya mujhse baat kyu nahi karte? Maine to unhe kuchh bhi nahi bola. Shaurya bhaiya se to baat ho jaati hai par Arjun bhaiya se sirf hi hello ho paata hai wo bhi kabhi kabhi . Bhaiya naraaz hai kya mujhse. ? "I asked these questions to lighten her mood. Kyuki bhai logo k baare mein chachi se baat karo to chachi ko achha lagta hai.
"Aayyeee pagal ladki, wo kyu tujhse naraaz hoga.? Tere dimaag mein ye baatein aati kahan se hain. Kal he meri dono ladko se baat Hui aur wo tere baare mein he puchh rahe they. Wo tum dono behno ko Boht miss karte hain aur agar mauka mila to wo tumhe apne paas bhi bula sakte hain. Tabhi to shaurya tum dono ka passport ready karwa kar gaya hai. Kyu ki wo jaanta hai koi aur ye kaam nahi karega."
"Waaow chachi main bhaiya k paas jaaungi..?"
"Sssshhhh.... abhi kisi ko btana nahi hai.. tujhe pta hai na tere daadu daadi aur teri bua ka. ?"
"Kya chachi aap bhi .... bua ka naam lena jaroori tha kya ... ? Meri saari maggi kharaab ho gyi ...
eeeeeewwwwww...."
I said dramatically and Chachi laughed. Finally I was able to lift her mood and then we talked for sometime and then she left to do her pending work and I got indulge in my studies.

Aarav's POV
I woke up by the chirping sounds of the birds, I looked at the time and HOLY FUCK I am late. I never get up so late then how come today.?
Anyways it's not the time to think about it, just rush to the bathroom.
I quickly do my morning routine, took shower and quickly got ready. Grab my stuff and head towards dining area in hurry.
Everyone was shocked to saw me that late.
"Bhaiya aaj aap late, kya hua raat bhar shaadi k sapne dekh rahe they kya?" Aadvik said.
I was about to say something when Rakshit said, "Bhaiya hum dono ne aapke door pe kitna knock kiya but aap to kumbhakaran ki tarah soye they. We thought aap apne thoughts mein bacho tak... I didn't let them complete that sentence.
I shouted, "CHUP, BILKUL CHUP ."
I didn't realised everybody flinched to my voice.
I feel guilty only for my elders and said sorry to them.
I was having breakfast when I feel their gaze on me the entire time. I know they are waiting for my reply so I thought this would be the right time to tell them my decision.
I took some courage and said, "I AM READY FOR THE MARRIAGE."
