An arranged marriage takes place at the most unexpected time . With conflicting emotions and their own shares of past , Will Sidharth and Shehnaaz be able to find their solace in themselves ?? Or their own pain and insecurities will take over the ma...
Shehnaaz's slumber was broken with her ringtone .. She somehow accepted the call and placed it between her ear and pillow ...
" Helllooo " she mumbled in sleep .
"Abbey Sana uthhh ... Kya ghore bech k so rahi hain uth ..." Shweta shouted on the phone .
" Kya di ... Sunday k din toh sone do .. yaar Di " Sana had whined.
"Main hotel k reception mein hoon ... Tere room mein aarahi hoon .. mama mami ne mujhe bola ki tere room mein knock kar rahe hain woh , par tu uth nahi rahi ... Aaj ladke walon ke ghar jaana hain .. bhul gayi kya? ... Gadha kothakar .. " Shweta scolded her careless sister , who had completely forgotten about it and now was panicking .
" 10 baj rahe hain ... 11 baje nikal na tha ... Haaye rabba sana ... " Shehnaaz mumbled to herself and unlocked the door and ran to the washroom .
They were going to meet Oberois since they were already in Mumbai . Mrs Surbhi Oberoi had suggested that if they were okay, they can come to meet everyone in the Oberoi Mansion.
" Aap log hamare yahan aajaiye ... Aap log mumbai mein hi hain ... Aur Shehnaaz bhi dekh legi ... Agar baccho ko thik lage toh usse bhi toh yahi aana hain .. dekh legi apna ghar .. usse bhi toh jaaneka haq hain ki agar uski shaadi ho .. toh woh kahaan jaa rahi hain" Mrs Oberoi 's words had touched her heart. Her family had been thinking about it since they had decided to visit Mumbai for giving their daughter her appointment letter, but they had been skeptical about whether they should ask it or not . Coming from a bit conservative background , they had that slight hesitation . But Mrs Oberoi had made it very easy for Shehnaaz .
Shweta entered the room and asked for her sister who answered from the washroom . She ran out 10 minutes later , wearing a simple yet elegant white embroidered kurti and blue skinny jeans . She wore beautiful blue jhumkas complementing her outfit . She applied sunscreen and a bit of moisturizer on her face , Kajal , maskara and a light shade of lipstick after Shweta insisted. Her hair was left open . With these , At 10:55 , she was READY .

( Something similar to this ... Imagine Shehnaaz in this outfit)
She wanted to present herself . How she was ... She didn't like makeup . Mascara and lipbalm was all she used everyday . She didn't want to change herself according to someone's preferences , life had taught her not to .
She jerked the memories as soon as it came in her mind . It's a new beginning , there's no space for the bitter ones . With a slight smile , she moved out of the hotel room , and joined her family who was waiting for her at the waiting area.
" Khub sundor lagche" ( you are looking very beautiful ) Dipika spoke lovingly cupping shehnaaz face . Vandita ji nodded agreeing to her granddaughter-in-law . She caressed their faces with a smile admiring their bond .

Sidharth was standing infront of his creation , the portrait of Shehnaaz . "Shehnaaz" , he had instantly liked the name . It suited her .
He had always found it funny when people had spoken about Destiny for couples . But this time , he experienced it himself . Seeing Shehnaaz, on the street to Shehnaaz being his would- be wife if all went right , he still found it unbelievable. May be this was what her mother said about.
" Beta , Jodiyan upar se bante hain .. tere life mein bhi wohi aayegi ... Jiski kismat tere saath judi hogi ... " His mother had said few years ago when he was drowning in guilt , when he was punishing himself .
No not now , he had promised her mother yesterday that he will not let his past hamper his present . He wasn't confident about himself , he still was unsure whether he will be able to give her the love and respect she deserves ... But her mother had faith in him and he will never break her trust , come what may .
"Kya main kyu ready hou ??" Sidharth was confused .
"Woh log aate honge Sidharth tu kya shorts mein ghum raha hain ... Atleast change into something presentable.." Surbhi Ji's stern face was enough for Sidharth to get up and change into a jeans and shirt .

His heart was racing. He had been busy till the previous day with his exhibition. Still her thoughts had managed to cloud his mind during the most important time of his meetings or during the exhibition amidst hundreds of people . And now she will be here at any moment , infront of him .

Riya had been pacing in her room continuously .
" Haaye mere gharwalon ne aur sana ne mujhe marr dena hain .. jab sana ne mujhe pehchaan lena hain .. haaye Riya .. tujhe kya zaroorat thi ... Chupane ki ... Hadd hain ... Boldeti yaar .. ab khao daat sabki " Riya mumbled running from one corner to the other of her room . The drama queen she was !!
"Riyaaaaaa " her mother's voice ringed in the mansion .. " Aayi mummaa " Riya ran out of her room . She was busy instructing the staff for last minute things.
Sidharth was sitting on the sofa placed at the centre of the hall . He tried to seem nonchalant but his constantly moving legs said it all .
The door bell rang gathering everyone's attention . The staff opened the door with Surbhi ji standing there with a smile welcoming them . Sidharth stood up at his place seeing them entering .
Shehnaaz entered at last with her sister in law . She had a soft smile in her face . And just then , Sidharth's heart skipped a beat seeing the smile. She was looking so effortlessly beautiful , with minimal makeup just the way he liked . He smiled at the thought .
Surbhi Ji cupped her face lovingly making Shehnaaz smile wider . She was slight nervous .. but the vibe of Mrs Oberoi calmed her nerves . She instantly felt a motherly affection from her . Mr . Oberoi made them sit comfortably .
Shehnaaz's eyes were at the floor and no sound reached her ears . She was nervous . Her introvert self making it difficult for her to even look at everyone present there . She felt a gaze on her. She somehow knew it was Sidharth , as if pleading her to look at him . The feeling made her numb all the more
"Aur yeh hamara beta Sidharth Oberoi " Mr. Advik's words reached her ears and she finally looked up at him . When she finally looked at him , at his eyes , everything else blurred !
