Thank you for voting 😊

She seemed so fierce and determined in her statement as she had actually held his collar harshly , making him go nil of any reply . Because he knew ,whatever she said was true. She was a girl who gives respect to feelings , he had already known it when she didn't even approach him with love after he had rejected once . She was definitely not like one he thought girls would actually be , selfish ...or taking advantage of situations...rather she was a woman of her own principles of life especially... love.

He decided not to force her , he has no rights to do that and impose his decision on her for she was not at fault too .

S- I'm sorry annika , I shouldn't have asked this . I'm none to take decisions on your behalf .I'm...I'm sorry par tum hi kaho ? What do you think I should do now ? It's not only my family out there , even your parents are present . What shall we do now ?

He admitted honestly and she stood surprised,he wasn't a person who'd accept his fault at ease and apologize. A tough head he is . She knew that he was really feeling guilty which she witnessed through his eyes layering the fact . She released her fists which had actually crushed his cloth's fabric by now .

That's when her mind registered his words clearly.

He was right, what about her family? Merged in all sorts of arguments with him , she had completely forgotten that she has a couple of people whom she must console .

Her parents weren't so strong to bear such a big thing . She was horrified to even think of opening the truth to her parents . The whole mandap is gathered with guests all around, it will be a huge shame for her family if everything breaks out .

A- so your next step is to corner me with the name of my parents?

She asked raising her eyebrows and he shook his head sighing.

S- annika , think practically. You aren't any small kid that I could just force and blackmail you . I said it because...it is reality , both our families are waiting outside !

He spoke insisting the to be faced reality, and she went immersed in her thoughts again.

Her mind was only surrounded by the flashes of her parent's smiling faces this morning when they started from home .

Tears formed capturing her eyes the moment she remembered everything .

If he was so protective about his family, she was no less too .

None would want their parents to stand shameful situation , especially the current scene would clearly lead to people questioning their values and way of nurturing.

Moreover the media would be ready to prick people with questions if they knew some sensational news awaits them .

She looked up and closed her eyes trying to pull back those tears within ,it wasn't the time for her sit and drown in tears as she has a huge responsibility to withhold.

Taking a deep gulp she looked at him for a second which automatically prolonged to an intense eyelock .

A- papa toot jaayega shivaay,

He heard her voice breaking apart ,

She saw him initiating to reply when she interrupted at once ,

A- I can't stand anyone speaking ill of my parents , bass unke liye...I'm ready to marry you .

He heard her declarative words , which clearly outstanded that it was only for her parents rather nothing else .

He felt like he was witnessing his twin from the other gender as he watched her eyes which screamed her attitude and determination.

Her family is her first priority ,that is so alike with him .

He sensed no sort of relief or joy nothing, as he himslef knew that the damn situation has certainly forced a girl. He didn't want her to do this to herself.

It felt as though he was so particular with her personal feelings now .

S- I don't want to force you in this , I don't think this should happen .

He made it very clear,

A- meine kaha haina shivaay ,sirf mere papa, mumma ke liye . And you being the big shot of the country have invited all the VVIP's and every other news channels . Will you believe? The entire media crowd is here ! I can't take any risk. A huge thanks to you being a VIP. Popularity jaaye thel lene !

She said the last line making irritated faces and he smiled weakly .

S- are you sure annika? I mean Our wedding ?

He asked looking at her keenly and all she did was, a nod.

G- aunty , actually we bought this for charu but I totally forgot to give this to her . Jhanvi maa ne abhi yaad dilaya muje ,

She asked ,taking a new set of maang teeka from her handbag ,to Meena .

M- so what beta ? Go give it now ,charu would be glad. Waise , I've told her to wear the ankelt which I had kept in the cupboard. I'm sure she would have forgotten. Kindly ask her to wear it haan ?

G- teek hai aunty, what should I say if she asks ,where is it ?

M- uhh, pata nahi kis cupboard mei...it's ok , let me also come with you then . Chalo ,

Annika saw her mother slipping out her feet to hit the bed with a thud when she listened to her. She held her mother's hands into her's and sat next to her . She has to play strong now ,

M- ani , annika ...hamari charu aise nahi hai . She wouldn't have done this, tuje pata haina ? She wouldn't!

She kept on mumbling this continuously when annika could do nothing but just let a helpless nod watching which Meena's face went horror stricken .

Annika's tears gradually dropped down on watching her mother who cried facepalming herself.

Gauri stood frozen in shock ,

Annika was nil of any words that could console her mother now , she was surprised when she saw shivaay kneeling down infront of her mother. He looked at her and nodded before holding her mother's hand .

S- aunty , none here is at fault but we all are going through this misery . Plss aunty , agar aap hi toot gayi tho uncle ko kaun sambalega?

M- I'm sorry beta , meri ( interrupted)

S- aunty plss , I didn't say this to criticise you . Why are you asking sorry to me ?

Annika's mother just held his hand close to her forehead and cried .

Annika was surprised watching him playing gentle and kind when she had just recovered from witnessing his demonic side , who is he actually? She wondered .

M- how am I going to tell this to your papa annika ? How will I tell him that his daughter has ran away and this wedding wouldn't happen ?

She mourned hopelessly.

A- maa , ye shaadi hogi .

Meena slowly raised her face which she had burried within her palms and looked at annika .

M- what are you saying annika ?

A- I will marry him .

Her words seemed very blunt to carry any type of emotion. Meena's eyes widened in shock and so was Gauri's .

M- do you even realize what you're saying?

A- we both have decided maa , we have no other way to handle this situation. I don't want anyone to raise their fingers against us when we merely did anything wrong .

She completed and Meena looked at shivaay who just passed a slight nod .

M- nahi annika , for the sake of one child I can't punish the other . You have took this decision in haste , aise kaise suddenly. I have to think about your life too , I won't agree to this .

A- maa , do you think that I'm agreeing wholeheartedly? Plss maa , try to understand. We have to do this , I can't let anyone hurt my parents.

Hearing this shivaay watched her for a second and looked away soon.

She hates me now , he thought ,especially after his raged stunt which he did a few minutes ago ...!

He didn't wanted to interfere in their conversation as he shouldn't. Trying to convince her mother to marry her would look entirely selfish and he wasn't certainly one now ,to be honest .

She somehow managed to convince her mother with her decision on marrying shivaay . Meena agreed half heartedly. No mother would want her daughter's marriage happening on a situation's force play .

M- I really don't know what to say annika ,bass ...I'm blessed to have you as my daughter!

She exclaimed with her unhalting tears and annika just hugged her mother tight .

Shivaay looked at Gauri before going into his room ,

S- gauri, don't tell anything to anyone.

G- par baiya , sab ...

S- nahi gauri , I don't want any commotion out there . I hope you understand.

She thought for a second before assuring .

Gauri accompanied annika to the mandap and made her sit beside him .

He watched her to have kept her ghunghat fall till her neck facing the floor . He inched near and touched her hand which rested on her lap, for once and reverted soon.

Both were nervous,

Meena somehow convinced jhanvi when she asked about charu's covered face saying that it was their practise.

R- Meena ? Where's annika ? Why she didn't come with charu ?

Meena's lips quivered more ,

M- vo ...vo ,I've sent her for some work . She'll be here ...don't worry .

She stammered .

R- is it more important now ? She should be here right? It's her sister's marriage. Let me call her ,

He took his mobile which she immediately grabbed ,

M- I've just sent her to the entrance ,some of our guests have come just now . Someone should be there to receive them right ?

She tried managing but Raghav looked unconvinced ,

Shivaay looked at his brothers smiling at him joyfully, but unfortunately he couldn't reciprocate it to the fullest . He blamed his fate,

He could feel the gripless little finger of her's hanging down around which he wound his's again to continue the pheras.

She felt so helpless, she had always dreamt of getting married to him but there was nil percent of joy or satisfaction in her now. She hated God for bringing such a situation in her life .

His hands halted halfway and remained stiff holding the mangalsutra ,which she felt and only when she placed her plam on his lap he forwarded again to adorn it around her neck.

The entire crowd surrounded there showered them with flowers ,wishing the couple. And media clicked numerous pictures of them ,infact this would be the talk of the town for next few days .

Raghav grew restless on not finding annika still, and Meena convinced him saying that annika had just called her and said that she's present there among the crowd .

Gauri held the fabric slight above her head for shivaay to streak ,lining her hairline with sindoor . All the three played all careful so that they don't slip out things.

She pulled her eyelids up traversing her sight towards him on feeling him to have just filled her hairline .

There was a ton of nameless emotions which were exchanged during that very second.

A peaked moment it was ,as both truly fell apart with situations dragging them all sides .

Indeed, both have chosen a tough tight route . Unknown to each other both promised to themselves to stand by the other through any problem which would lead due to their decision.

What is it about shivika without a blissfull journey achieved crossing the way consisting a vast road of thorns to prick and pull with enchanting scents of feelings paving a relationship till eternity ?

Isn't a strong support the very obvious necessity for a relationship ?...!

Somewhere else,

C- Adi , adi get up ! Adi you moron , Utt!

She hit him hard on his shoulders who seemed to have awaken just now by her constant punches .

Ad- ahhh! Kya huwa ? Ahh!

He squeezed his eyes and looked at her surprised.

Ad- ek minute , did you just elope from the wedding for ...for me ! Awww ! I knew it , you can't forget your love ...your Adi !

He exclaimed and the next second he fell on the floor when he received a tightly sharp slap from her.

No trumpets sound when the important decisions of our life are made ,
Destiny is made known Silently 💘

Precap

S- you really want a divorce?

A- why would you ask this ? Started liking me already ?

She asked raising her eyebrows with a commendable attitude while he shook his head turning away . This woman !

So how was it guys ?

Honest reviews plss.

Negative comments are also accepted, I just want you all to be frank . That's it

Any guesses of what's awaiting further?

I didn't wanted a forced marriage so I made their decision mutual and it was planned beforehand .

Try my other books if possible.
