Vihaan's POV

"I am sorry Disha" I whisper to her as no body can listen to us talking. But she again ignored me. She is looking beautiful in baby pink lehenga.

I have been saying sorry to her since yesterday but she is ignoring me. Now it's making me angry. After I took her to gynecologist which was very hard and getting her a shot of birth control, I have told her about our engagement since then she is ignoring me.

I gaze at my engagement ring and a smile broke out of my mouth. Finally we are engaged. "Why are you so mad huh? You knew we were going to get married in the future and it's not even a marriage......." I turn my head and see her watching couples who are dancing "......Did you....were you thinking that we would be never getting..... married. Huh?"

I wait for her response but not getting anything I gritted out "Damn it Disha answer me"

"No.....Never" she answers. It gave some satisfaction but then why the heck is she ignoring me. I thought she would forget it on our engagement but no she was still not talking to me.

"Then what is it?" I asked. When I told her about our engagement I thought she would be happy. But the opposite happened.

For the very first time since this party started she turned and gazed me in the eyes. "Vihaan I am happy that we are engaged but I wanted........ I wanted to wait for few more years. I have just turned 18 and now this. Don't you think it's sudden"

It did hurt hearing her say that. "I......I thought you would get happy.....but I never thought that....." I turn my head away from her ".... let's just not talk about it"

I watch everyone enjoying themselves. Couples dancing. Some are enjoying their food. But the people who are the the reason for this celebration are not happy. Even if we are seating together it's like we are far away from eachother.

As cake arrived, a four tier cake we both stood up. I can feel disha's gaze on me from time to time but I ignored her. I was thinking that she was mad because I didn't told her earlier about our engagement but it was whole other reason. And it hurts. It fucking hurts.

We both silently cut our cake and everyone congratulated us. Many came to congratulate us. I just smile and thanked them. Disha also did the same.

After everyone left we all got settled to eat food. "I hope that you won't disappoint me son" Mahesh uncle said in a stern tone. I nod. She is my responsibility and he doesn't have to tell me. I know how to keep her safe.

I can feel her eyes on me. Ignoring her I just eat my food. The sight of the ring on my finger did subsided the hurt to some extent.

"Cheers to the new couple" dad says while lifting his wine glass. Elders tap their glasses and take their sips.

"Son I am going to give the photos to the reporters tomorrow. Are you good with it?" I nod.

"But Raj don't you think it's still early to let them know. It would be hard for Disha to roam freely. They would always try to get to talk with her" Mahesh uncle replies.

Why is he worried about that. It's not like they don't know. They already knew that I am in a relationship for 4 years.

"It is important Mahesh. And she would have to face them some time in future so why not now. It would make her habitual" dad answers

Mahesh uncle just gaze at Disha worriedly. Why is he worried? I am here to be worried about her. He doesn't says anything further. Dad pats his back in reassuring.

"Vihaan we need to talk" I hear Disha whispering to me.

"No we don't" I say sternly. Because if I heard her saying something more worst then I would lost it.
