"I didn't came in your life to be out so easily. You are mine and I don't let go what belongs to me."
~KaranHis eyes were sparkling as he leaned closer diving into her eyes while peeking into her soul. His heart beat was thumping hard inside his rib cage feeling damn lucky to get her."I-I.. can't believe we are getting marr-", he was cut in middle."I-I can't marry you… I don't want to. I'm being forced into this", she says, hesitating.His eyes squinted as the sparks changed into confusion. He was unable to detect any lie in those words while seeing through her soul. And he gulped hard thinking why in this world she can't. When Sammy unannounced showed up and she left gazing down. He could see a lone tear escape her eyes and his heart shattered with that, feeling demotivated but smiled seeing his siblings. Making them think they were having such a romantic moment but in reality it was something he never wanted to hear or even imagine for a second.………………..Karan's mind recalled this secret conversation of them which was left incompelete due to his brother. He couldn't think about anything but those words and that somehow escalated his blood pressure making him heave.I won't let you go Dia… you are just mine. And you need to marry me at any cost, he oaths to himself as he walks toward the living room.Sammy tapped his shoulder making him clouds of thought burst and he raised his brows giving him attention. But frowned as his brother copied his action, earning a death set glare which clearly made Sammy understand that he is dead. "Fine… just chill Bhai!", he says quickly, passing a apologetic smile.Karan sighs and smiles back at him making Sammy run into the hall and blurt that he is hungry. While Karan follows him after sparing a last glance towards her room.Meanwhile, Dia was sitting on her bed thinking why she feels lost in him and everything around them goes blank out. Why do you care? You just be happy now, because you made it clear to him that.. 'YOU-ARE-NOT-MARRYING-HIM!!', her subconscious chirps making her smile softly.And now I'm sure he would cancel this marriage. Woohhoooo… now we will be free and back to the life we were living, her subconscious danced feeling over the moon. Nodding in affirmation Dia smiles as well but something inside her evaporating that smile makes her sad. Her heart clenched tight and tears welled up again.Why am I feeling like to cry now?What's disturbing me now?, she inquires her heart. When Ira barged inside her room and tapped on her shoulder making her startle. She giggled looking at Dia's face and informed her that everyone is calling her out for lunch. While she just nodded and stood up for walking out but paused seeing Ira still standing. Ira was scanning her room and found it decent, simple and less decorative. In total for her it was quite plain in comparison to what generally girls have. Dia raised her brows when she tapped at her and Ira passed a sheepish smile. "Umm…nothing was just checking your room", she replies and Dia nods and was about to turn but stops. Dia could see she wanted to ask more as her curiousity of asking something was clear in her eyes. So, she ushered her to question whatever she wants to and she did."Why your room is so simple and plain? I mean… generally we girl's don't have any bluntness in our room, right?""True. But I don't stay here and secondly even in where I stay means Australia my room has minimal things only", she replies."O.. but you know what Bhabi.. Bhai has his room full of decent but eye catching things. Making it look like magnificent and stylish. While mine is full of girlish things…ahh just like one of the girls dream about", she overly shares being a bubbly girl.While Dia feels uneasy ticklish sensation crawl her heart hearing about him and her again being mentioned as 'bhabi' aka sister in law.Ariha then continued saying that how even they used to live in Australia first and then her parent's shifted here with her. After Kabir and Sammy joined the business and took over it. But the main branch is still in Mumbai, India. She even said that Karan used to stay in India only and it's been just few years of him shifting there as he wanted to explore his life first.Dia just nodded listening her and they went dining hall straight as everyone was there only. Ira took her seat beside her mom while Dia scanning the whole table found Karan's side seat empty. She sighed before hesitantly taking her seat making Karan froze for a second. Though it was unintentional but it's a sign Dia, that you belong to me being at my side, he mutters to himself as he sees the other seats reserved.On the hand, her mind was filled again with his presence and cologne making other things blocked in her head.Why does he effect me so much? What's so special about him?, she questions herself while serving on her plate.Shrugging their thoughts both continued to eat their food in utter silence avoiding each other while other's were laughing, talking and enjoying their food when suddenly Ariha called out for her."Bhai…Bhabi, can you please pass me the plate of kebabs?", she uttered hungrily and they both nodded together.Karan extended his hand for taking kebabs and so did Dia which made their hands touch, giving an igniting spark to their body. Both turned to look at each other and they were lost for a second making Ariha elbow Sammy and get her kebabs. While seeing his intense gaze she took her hand back and looked down and he shifted his gaze as well. What the hell just did happened?, they both questioned together to themselves internally.While Avni and Shalini were quietly observing them sitting at opposite sides and smiling.Karan then for diverting his mind decides to feed his stomach and picks the bowl of chicken curry, serving himself. But as he was about to keep the bowl back, corner of his eyes noticed her hesitation.Is she wanting chicken curry as well?, he questions his subconscious.He then clears his throat lowly, grabbing her attention and making her look at him biting her lips. "Umm.. do you want some?", he says feeling uneasy with the way she was nibbling on her plump lips.She nodded in affirmation feeling tongue tied and was about to take the bowl from him when he smiling lightly served her too. Dia was taken aback and smiled unknowingly at his sweet gesture and continued to eat while he did too. Their parents noticed this caring nature and actions thoroughly and smiled. Thinking they will surely make a good couple bond with each other.After lunch they went to their backyard to get some fresh air as the weather was quite pleasant and cool outside. The older generation sat in the chair discussing about further rituals and ceremonies while the younger group decided to roam in the backyard. Karan was walking behind Dia with his one hand in pocket and other busy with his phone. While Ira and Sammy kept chattering and Dia calmly listened and responded. At times, he could hear her smile, laugh, anklet and bangles noise which felt soothing for him. Dia even teased Sammy with Ira which made him smile too.You are just perfect to fit in my family, he says internally, smiling to himself.When Ariha and Sammy started running behind each other out of the blue. And Dia stopped on her way making Karan bump into her this time."Ahh....", she hisses a little as her shoulder gets hit by his hard chest.And he looks up quickly apologizing to her for his mistake. She says it's okay to him but turning her head other side calls him an blind idiot.God knows how many times more would he crush me from his hard muscles. Aghhh!, she groans in mind.Well if you want.. he could do that all your life being your partner. And then he would be above you and you…you my love underneath him", her subconscious teases, making her glare for those nasty thoughts."If they are my parent's then even I am their daughter. And I'm not falling for this trap at all"~Dia.The subconscious of her with that nasty talk made her forget the real world and scrunch her nose in disguise. Even the imagination of it seemed so vulgar to her that let go the reality only. While he cursing himself internally for not being cautious, looks up to apologise to her."I'm sorry… actually I was on..", he pauses as he finds her still.He then looks confusingly at her and then around them before turning his gaze back to her.Is she there? He shakes his hand in front of her but she doesn't respond making him raise his brows in amusement. His subconscious then jokes saying maybe his hard muscle made her head numb or something for which he shh it. He then snaps his finger infront of her and she comes out of her daze, feeling embarrassed and flushed near him. She pushes a loose strand of hair behind her ears and gazes up to look at him."Um…sorry and it's okay", she mutters, m
"The one I had I lost, but the one I got will not"~Dia It was 6 pm, and with that almost 2 hours passed away. Dia was still inside her room with a wrenched heart. Kabir left long ago asking her to agree with this alliance and even promised her that no one will dare to cut off her wings. She would be the one she is, and her own identity will always be outshined instead of getting overshadowed.Is it even possible?Well, sitting at the stool, she just stared on herself bluntly in the mirror contemplating what to do and what not when her reflection speaks up.Are you really going to marry him?, her reflection asks.As she thought of giving up and getting tied down in this alliance.Are you sure? Because the Dia I know she would never marry. And even if she does won't that guy be the one she likes?, it questioned her again.Dia's eyes widened in amusement and tears welled up in them. Her forbidden feelings were screaming out loud making her heart shrink.What? You thought I don't know!
"I knew I was born blessed but never in my dreams I imagined the best thing happened to me will be you"~KaranAfter reaching home Karan grumpily descended for his room. Shalini and Kabir noticed he was happy there and now again in a pissed mood."What's wrong with him? Is he bipolar?", his parents thought subconsciously.Sammy assured his parents that everything is okay and they don't need to worry instead do the wedding arrangement. Feeling overwhelmed with this news, Shalini and Kabir smiled widely listening to him and hugged each other. While Ira jumped in excitement and left for her room with a quick hug.It was clear that everyone liked Dia and the fear of Karan declining for this proposal was now gone too. Sammy then bid bye and went straight to Karan's room without knocking where Karan was removing the watch from his wrist and placing it on the table. When he saw Sammy he ignored him and started unbuttoning his shirt while Sammy flopped on his bed and giggled making him more p
"For spending a whole day with you, I can leave all my work even if it means, me having losses in business"~KaranNext morning, Karan was awake early morning and set the board meeting at 8 am. It's the least he could manage for spending time with her and finish his work as fast as he can. Sammy smirked seeing him ready at 6:45 am and pulled his leg."Someone is overly impatient for meeting bhabi I guess. Isn't it Ira? Otherwise, why would the board meeting shift to morning 8 am instead of doing at 2 pm", Ira laughed listening him and Karan bit his inner cheek."If you are done then can I leave?", he asks with a pissed tone."Ofcourse brother come on go fast or else you won't be able to spend time with her", she teased him and did Hi-fi with Sammy.Karan passed a forced smile towards them and left for his office while Shalini and Kabir was noticing everything from upstairs with a grinning smile. They were happy to witness the confirmed news that he is willingly going to marry her now.
Dia was sleeping peacefully with curtains closed in her room making the atmosphere slightly warm and chill. She snuggles more under her duvet curling herself into a ball with a peaceful smile on her face as she dreamt about someone she hardly knows.Karan!!!He was walking beside her all alone, holding her hands in his. He was saying some sweet magical words to her as she blushed and looked down. But before he could confess something he was actually trying to say; the door of her room, cracked open and the curtains got apart making the sun rays barged in her room. She growled in annoyance as the room was exposed to the sun light making the room warm more than what it was. Someone then pulled the duvet from her body and she winced like a child yearning for more sleep with her duvet on. But her mom sternly ordered her to get up now from the bed while she growled loud, saying she wants to sleep more. "You could have slept more if it wasn't your engagement day today. And btw Ariha must
"Even in the 1000th people I can choose you again and again with closed eyes coz no matter how much my mind gets confused but my heart never is nor will be"The engagement event started and guest's started showing up, entering the hall. As the engagement ceremony was small it was held in Agarwal Sadan only. The guests were only a few relatives, friends and company partners with a few old staff.Aditya was very happy today after a long time as his daughter was genuinely happy and spared him. Karan and his family arrived too at 7 pm though Karan wanted to come with Ira in the morning only.Sammy whispered in his ear that he is going to meet Dia while he should sit and wait. Karan tried to leave with him but his dad stopped him saying he should be patient. He frowned and Sammy laughed out loud seeing his brother so impatient and left for Dia's room.Karan was restlessly sitting on the white couch with white flowers in the background and white yellowish fairy lights hanging on it. Everyon
"Getting into a new life is always like leaving your old life which you lived half your years"Before he could reply to her the lights got dim again and the spotlight was on in the centre of the room. Their heads snapped to see what was that when the music's blasts from the speakers were loud."Punjabi functions never go silent and dry; there must be drinks and music. So let's start!!"Sammy and Ira yelled through the mike and there went his squad on spotlight.His few friend's like him didn't know how to dance but still were there in corners moving their bodies. Karan was the worst dancer in his squad and other's still were good. A beautiful amazed smile spread on his face and seeing him, Dia chuckled.They were dancing on Nashe Si Chad Gayi; Badtameez Dil and then our Sammy danced on Bachna Ae Haseeno; Dilli Wali Girlfriend with Ira and Farha and at last the whole family danced on Gallan Goodiyan.Dia was confused thinking why they are so happy in an arranged marriage and when they g
"Nothing seems more melodious than your voice as your the only nightingale in my life"After arriving home Karan was in his study room making pegs and gulping drinks as sleep was far gone from his eyes. His eyes at times were adorning that dangling diamond ring in his finger and a big smile embraced his lips."Am I too lucky or is this the ripped fruit of my waiting?", he asks himself and gulps hard that bitter liquor."I wish I could have expressed my heart to you… and say how much hardship it took to make this ring fit in my finger", he mutters with a smile.He was about to make one more peg when his phone ringed loud, grabbing his attention. With frown he picked his phone and glanced at the number which automatically brought a smile on his face and he answered quickly."Sorry brother… I am really sorry that I didn't showed up in your engagement but for sure on your marriage day I would come. I hope bhabi is good and doing great while you are surely dancing at the cloud nine", a che
