Finding My Way To Reach Your Heart ✓

42. A best decision of life

The next day,

"I just can't believe this. How can they do this to me?" Riya shook her unbelievably pacing here and there in her room.

"Riya, relax. Nothing is fixed yet and  Subhash Uncle, Lata Aunty also said na they won't decide anything against your opinion. They aren't forcing you with anything." Swara said sitting on the couch in front of her as Riya kept moving to and fro.

"Still Swara, you know the reason right. I am not in right state of mind right now and definitely no to marriage." Riya said.

"Why are you directly going to marriage? Just meet the family and the guy and then politely deny. You can also share the reason to uncle and Aunty. They will understand you." Swara said in understanding tone.

"Why will I deny? I will make sure that guy only reject me. Huh!! Otherwise, I will... I will shoot him with a gun." Riya said.

"And, from where you will get the gun?" Swara asked nonchalantly.

"Be serious yaar, Swara!!" Riya said with irritated face and sat beside her.

"Riya, I know you don't want to marry right now. I am also not forcing you because I know what are you feeling. But Riya, try to understand. Uncle and Aunty won't think wrong about you. It's just that they are unaware of your feelings for Arav. Otherwise they wouldn't have even think about this alliance. So, just think calmly. Don't be impulsive." Swara said placing her hand on her shoulder.

"I understand Swara but.. I just can't think anyone else except him. I love him. I can't cheat that guy, rather myself that I have feelings for someone else and I am marrying other. I can suppress my feelings but can't end it Swara. " Riya said.

Swara hugged her side way.

"Don't need to suppress or end any feelings. Just give yourself time. And, for now just meet the guy and tell him that you love someone else. There's no cheating or hiding in this. So, relax." Swara said.

Riya looked at her and Swara nodded giving her a assuring look.

"Hmm, don't worry. Everything will be fine. Now go and get ready. They must be coming. You can't go infront of them in your nightgown atleast." Swara said and they chuckled.

.....

Riya was ready in peach colour anarkali suit. Her hair was left open. She was wearing a matching pair of earrings standing in front of mirror.

"Dad said he is his friend's son. I don't understand... Dad hardly came to India since last 20 years and who is this friend suddenly. Also, Shekhar uncle also knows the family." Riya said.

"Maybe some family friends or college friends?" Swara said pinning the dupatta to Riya's shoulder.

"Hmm, may be." Riya hmmed.
Then she thinks something and says.

"Swara, being rejected really hurts and I am also going to reject someone today. I know the pain of it and that guy..." Riya was saying when Swara interupted.

"Riya, it's better to clear things before it complicate your life. If you will agree just because you don't want to break the person's heart then it will create more problems later. And, if you won't be happy them how will you keep other happy. So, sometimes it happens for better only." Swara said.

"Hm, yeah you are right." Riya said.

"Riya beta?" They heard Lata's voice (Riya's mom) calling her. She came inside.

"Yes mom." Riya said.

Her mom came to her and caressed her hair blessingly.

"My small daughter has grown up. You know Riya, I am so happy with this alliance and so is your father. But you shouldn't think about anyone else. It's your decision. Just meet them and interact with them. Don't feel any kind of pressure or get nervous, okay?" Lata said.
