"Have you totally lost it?" Shivaay stamped his legs, blinded by rage.
"That is the only practical solution Shivu." His father tried to explain."Solution for what exactly? How can you even suggest something like this? This is like a punishment for helping her.""No Shivu.. Please listen to us. This fake news will destroy her future and yours too. Don't think this as a punishment. Anjali is a nice girl and her family is also nice. She will be a perfect wife for you."He finally understood his family's real intention behind this."Oh.. So this is the matter. Now I get it. But sorry I am not going to marry her. You cannot force me Maa""We are not forcing you..""Oh really? Then what the hell were you people doing in past one year? Now tell me one thing honestly. Was it any of you who called the media people there ?"He snapped at his family."What are you saying? You think we can do something like that? It is true that we desperately want you to marry move on. What is wrong with that? We are your family. You are still holding on to your past. Let it go. I know it is not easy for you. We all are worried for you and please think about that girl who is dealing with all these with no fault of hers."
He became silent for few seconds. His Dadi came to him and touched his face lovingly."Shivu everything happens for a reason."
"I am good now Dadi. Then why you people want things to change?""Sometimes things fall apart so that better things can come together. It is high time you forget Tripti and move on . She is not worth it."
Shivaay left the living room silently and entered his room.

He closed his eyes as he slumped down in a chair. He didn't want to yell at his family but how can they expect him to casually agree for a marriage.Love and marriage will happen only once in a lifetime. Love, he already did and he couldn't marry the girl whom he loved. Now marriage with someone else?Tripti's face came to his mind in a flash. How can he agree to marry Anjali or any other girl when he is not fully over his past? Why can't his family understand?His family loves him and they want to see him to be settled and happy. They were pressurizing him for a marriage since one year and he kept refusing. When the opportunity was presented in the form of Anjali they decided to nag him again. His parents think a marriage will help him to forget Tripti. But how is that fair to the girl who will become his wife? He remained in the same position until someone knocked his door.It was his grandfather."We will be going to Raizada house with the proposal. I am not planning to wait for your approval, After all we are family and we have that much right in your life , hain na?"He stared at his grandfather in silence. Taking his silence as an approval his grandfather walked out leaving him alone with his thoughts.-----------------------------------------------------------Anjali listened, dismayed by the conversation going on with the families in the living room of Shantivan. When Shivaay's family showed up before half an hour, she never thought they were here with a proposal. When she served them tea and left for the kitchen she heard his grandfather asking her hand for the marriage. On top of that her Nani and others seemed to be thrilled about it. What the hell is going on in her life? Isn't it necessary to ask about her opinion?She was in shock and didn't know what to do now. His family is here means he already agreed for this marriage. But why? Why he want to marry a divorcee when he can have any woman he wants?"EHHHmmm" Someone cleared throat and she turned back to meet the smiling face of Vasundhara Rathore."Anjali I understand what you are going through. ""I am sorry but I don't think if someone understands aunty. If you were then why would both the families suggest something like this?""Because we are elders and we always want best for our kids. Tell me something honestly.. If you were not a divorcee and this scandal wouldn't have happened then you would have still refused this proposal? " Vasundhara's words made her confused. Why she was happy about an alliance like this for her son? And did she mean I am perfect for her son? Anjali answered he after a pause."No Aunty. But here we are held at gun point. There is a big difference in being forced by circumstances and being own choice.""Anjali I agree that you both are being forced but no need to over think about it. Consider this as a normal proposal. We have seen more of this world than you people so why can't you trust us? Sometimes, the wrong train, takes you to the right station. Maybe the circumstances leading to this marriage is wrong but you both can make this work. Think about it. " With that Vasundhara walked out of the kitchen leaving her alone.------------------------------------------------
