Ashu's POV

'I see red red red, oh red. A gun to your head head, to your head'🎵🎵

" Good morning princess Ashu"

What a song to wake me up. Shikhar always surprises me every time by changing my tune. I don't even know when he does that.

What a beautiful day. It's my marriage day.

Oh shit!!!

It's my marriage!

Oh yes!!!

It's my marriage!

My Damon is gonna be my husband. If only he could actually drink my blood and share the sire bond how cool it would have been. We would have been intimate on a whole other level. Not that what we have is less but Shikhar would have looked more sexy as a vampire.

I still can't digest I am getting married this early. Till yesterday I was making plans for Niyu's marriage. I had planned everything from my dress to the venue. Hell I had even decided the songs I would dance on. Of course it was all in my head. But I was prepared nevertheless.

Now I am getting married instead. No planning, no warning, just marriage.

Though I understand why Shikhar took the decision to get married in such a hurry but still, it sucks. No friends, no colleague's, no relatives and most importantly no ex's ex to burn with jealousy(ya I have one). Who gets married like this?

Who is going to see my designer dress? First I thought of getting married in a simple outfit but which designer gets married looking like a hippy? I have a reputation to maintain. I don't care if anyone can see or not but I'm gonna look like a million dollar bride. Plus I can click a million pics.

My staff was confused when I told them to alter the half ready lehenga, which was our clients, as per my size. I couldn't reveal anything more as the marriage was supposed to be in secret. I could have stitched the dress myself but then I would have looked like a zombie without any sleep, that too on my important day. No ways I was compromising on my beauty nap.

Yesterday was an emotional roller coaster day. I always knew my Niyu was strong but had no idea what she was going through. I can't imagine what decision I would have made had I been in her shoes. I felt guilty at the time. But after knowing hottie (Shaurya) doesn't blame me I got a bit relaxed. Fortunately, the day ended on a high with the news of our marriage. One thing is sure, if I ever get to lay my hands on my mother in law, she would never wake up the next day. Bitch!!

Late night Niyu came to give me the jewelry set our parents had made for us. I was mesmerized by it. Mom must have had a good taste. The set is just out of the world. Maybe I got my designer genes from my mom.

I don't even remember my parents. I was too small when they left us. Only because of the photos Niyu keeps showing me, I have their image in my head. I do remember grandma. Not everything but some memories are embedded in my head. All good ones of course, like she feeding me or running after me.

If I tell anyone they may call me a bad person but the fact is I don't miss them. There hasn't been a single moment when I thought things would be different if they would have been with us. I know all the credit goes to Niyu.

For me, Niyu was always my mother. In school whenever I wrote an essay on mom it was by keeping her in mind. Even the thought that she had trouble raising me never occurred. She always made it look effortless.

But after yesterday's revelations I realized how hard it must have been for her. Plus she was so young and she lost a lot at a young age itself.

So at night when she came to give me the jewels and her eyes glistened I couldn't hold back either. We cried holding each other.
