There is silence in the room. When we are three together and it's not sleeping time, the room would have reverberated with our talk. It's not about arranged marriage. I don't wanna be part of these people's life. The ladies of this family are good but I can't say the same thing for the men. Sas and Saavi are holding my hands. We are staring at the ceiling. I couldn't tell them what happened in his office? They understand but don't ask me. They know I'll tell them when I feel better.
The knock on the door breaks the silence. We push ourselves in sitting positions, " Come in, " Saavi says.
" What does he want now? " Sas gets on her feet and rolls her eyes.
" Dinner is ready ma'am. They are waiting for you at the dining table." Kala says, opening the door. He does not step in.

A shiver runs down my spine. I don't wanna trap in here, forever. I don't wanna marry him. I don't stop pacing to and fro in the room. I'm feeling terrified. My parents are giving me to a stranger. I do not know anything about them. My own thoughts are terrifying me. What would they do to me if by mistake I would get married to him? I'm not a strong person. I'm a girl who has never stepped out of the walls my parents built for me. Now suddenly, they are setting me free in a different cage, bigger than that, the scariest one. I glance at the ring in aggravation. I pull it out and put it on the nightstand. I need to talk to someone before my mind blasts in frustration. It's night. I'm not going to knock at my parents' door at this time of night. Saavi makes rash decisions. But Sas if I want her to just listen to me. She will. Hurriedly, I changed into white shorts and white
She's magnificently beautiful, ruinously breathtaking. Unwantedly, unknowingly, she has fulfilled my aim of coming here. Gleefully, I will love to take her away from here. If she's genuine and confirmed about her decision. She'll come to me and ask for the offer again. I've got a beautiful life for her, for us. I run my hand in my wet hair. She feels so soft. She was scared, but also calm. I want to do more than just holding her. I rub my thumb on my fingers recalling her soft skin, the touch again. " Yuvaan! " Vikas breaks the chain of my thoughts. It never happened before. I'm thinking about her instead of how to bring my enemies down. She made everything a piece of cake. I know Achraj's weak point now. I want her. She's fragile, so soft, naive, tender-hearted and gullible. I won't wanna use her as prey. I'll not marry her, " You're smiling. What's it? " Vikas asks, he knows the reason behind this smile, a victory.
I drape myself in white jeans and a bright yellow shirt with puffy full arms. I brush my wet hair and leave them to dry naturally. I grab my phone from the nightstand and rush to the door. I freeze, " I didn't lock it. Did I? " I shake my head, " I was in tension. I'm still tense. " I unlock the door and walk downstairs. My inside clenches as last night flashed before my eyes. A huge smile appears on my face. I lower my head and fight with the yearn that insists on looking at his room's door. With a heavy sigh, I whirl toward the stairs. I turn toward the door. But I wasn't sure if this was their room or not. I look around. I fish out my phone and call Sas's number. " Hey! Where are you? " She asks. I bite the corner of my lip in anticipation, " I'm downstairs."
I step into the room after Saavi. Sim is sitting next to her holding her hand. Sas looks up at me and smiles. My eyes rest on her face. It is slightly red, " Did you cry? What happened? " I sit next to her. " I'm going to marry." She smiles and shows me her hand. My nightmare is coming true( I shake my head, " I can't believe it. I left you with our family fifteen minutes ago. I can't believe this. " I hold her by the shoulders. " You can't put your determination on her. She has made up her mind. " Sim says. " Or you compelled her. " Saavi aggravates. I ignore Sim. I don't wanna break her nose in exasperation, " I can't believe this. You always wanna marry a decent man, not out of our community. " I say. &nb
I've given her false reasons but I've made true words to her. She'll always be safe with me. She can continue her studies. She can go wherever she wants to but with guards. I'll never touch her without her permission, but I don't need her permission in front of people, she'll be my wife. Three hours! Fucking three hours! I wanna get away from here with her. Vikas told me her family has hidden the reality of the underworld. I can't promise she'll never know about it. I'll make sure not to break her fairytale world. I sent a message to Arya and Ryan. I shove my phone back in the pocket. Vikas joins me in the hallway, " Keep them alert at every step. She attracts problems toward her. " I told him. " Billa is on guard duty. She'll be safe." He says, " Here, I've checked it twice. " He says, Putti
I can't believe what I have just done now. I'm married. A shiver runs down my body. It was compulsory. I love Simrat, Sas and Saavi equally. I can do anything for them. I've seen her looking at Achraj with sheer love and joy. She loves him. I don't want her to do anything stupid. If he's keeping his words to me. I've no problem with this wedding. He needs a wife to show people. I need to get out of here. Achraj won't stop torturing her unknowingly as he has every right to say no to this wedding if he doesn't want Simrat as a part of his life. Life partner! He won't do it. Arranged marriage is common in our society. I hope my parents will accept it. There are side effects. They will stop talking to me, they won't see my face ever again. But it's okay. Simrat will be happy. Sas and Saavi would never
My eyes process the ceiling's colour. Dark cream! I blink to push away the sleepiness from my eyes and mind. I feel the weight over my stomach, thighs and legs. I glance around lifting my head. Sas is hugging me tightly, her legs are over my thighs. Saavi's arm is wrapped around my stomach. I untangle myself, pushing myself out of the mattress. I halt when my eyes lock on his handsome face. He's wearing a dark blue suit. First, I smile. Then, I gulp as I haven't told them about it yet. I push myself up. He holds out his hand to stop me. He beckons at my phone with his finger. He's looking as he is going to the photoshoot in a room with sunlight coming through the window. His face is glowing under the morning sunlight. I extend my hand carefully and don't want to wake them up. I grab my phone bending ahead over Sas's face. I exhale in relief as no one stirs. I look up at him w
I head out toward the garden. I dart my eyes around. Three are standing together. I walk over to the group. " What is with this backpack? " Saavi frowns. " If we couldn't sit in the same car. Our personal group. make sure no one sees your messages. " Sas says. Sim nods immediately. They two are saying as they have planned something big, " What have you planned? '' Saavi stares at them. " We're running, " Sim says under her breath. My body stiffens, " We're going to shop, " She says out loud. " And ice cream. We should have fun before our marriage, " Sas giggles. Sim joins her. Saavi and I exchanged a confused look, " Why? " Saavi asks, her face is a perfect picture of a shock. I'm still trying to digest her
