Zia PoV

I came from the university at 2'o clock with suresh.Iva dressed me up with my lehenga.My wedding is to be held in my mom's hall which we have named as "wedding bliss".finally today am getting married.I wish nothing should happen today and the wedding should go well.Suresh didn't want to come for the wedding as he says the wedding is just a waste of money and just have a register marriage.

" Di, can u wake up from your dreams"Iva said

"Diiii......"Iva said

"Wha......t"

"Oohhoo are you thinking about jiju (brother in law ).

" Shut up Iva "

"Di ..by the way how could you just marry a stranger " Iva said

" He will not be a stranger any more now"

"But Di.., I just hate arrange marriages.you don't know the guy,his character and his family and you agree..how pity"

"Iva..(I pulled her by her ear) he is your jiju stop complaining and I know Suriyan is really nice."

"What??? he is nice..but ..how do u know"Iva said

"Well ..that's ..ummm"

"What uhmmm...Diii..are you hiding something." Iva said

"No..I am not .. Two days back Suriyan called and asked me to meet him at the bus stop."

"Bus stop..but why???"Iva said

"He said he wants to speak to me in person".

"Aha now I get it.jiju took you on a date right"Iva said

"No Iva it's not that.We both got in to the same bus and he said he doesn't want to waste time taking me out so we spoke until we reached our destination."

"What ,,......Didi...BUS STOP..." Iva said.

"Yeah...how sweet nah,.."

"Sweet!! Oh god Di..He is such a stingy man".

"He is not Stingy.in fact he said his mom wanted dowry and he rejected"

"Zi...a...Ivaaa"

"Mama is calling ,let's go Di" Iva said

We both went to our hall which is opposite to our house.Suresh was present there seated with the guests.he had worn the tie that I gifted for him on his birthday.I walked quietly and sat on the throne.I couldn't see some of my staff.A few minutes later I heard the girls and my sister shouting the bride groom had come. I felt a little bit of nervous suddenly.

Suriyan walked with his cousin brothers and made up to the stage.He sat next to me.Tears fell from my moms eyes when she saw me with Suriyan sitting on the throne.Iva kept bugging me. She wanted me to laugh but I controlled my laugh.few minutes pass by and I could see my mom going with Suriyan mom out side. I nudged Iva as asked her to go and see what's going on.Iva had gone few minutes back but didn't return.I excused Suriyan and went to where my mom was to be.I saw suriyan mom leave. Her face didn't seem to light up.

"Ma,what happened ???"

"Nothing Zia." ma said

"Then why is your face seem to be dull".

"I said you it's nothing and you better go and sit in the throne before people start to speak."Ma said

"But Ma, I need to know ,tell me "

"Zia .....its nothing "Ma said

"Iva you have to tell me now "

"Di that....." Iva said

"Iva... who ask you to stay here go I said ".ma said

"No Iva tell me what's wrong

"Di actually,Suriyan's mama had said that I looked prettier than you and why didn't Ma showed me to them and then she had said that she will compromise this marriage if Ma would write down the marriage hall under your name he would marry you." Iva said

"What.."

"Zia listen to me " Ma said

"I am going to call off the wedding "

"Zia listen"

I walked Up to the stage and asked Suriyan if he knows his mothers plan.he simply said that his mother was right. and for the fact that we didn't tell them that I had a beautiful sister he can compromise and Marry me if the marriage hall would be under my name and he also started saying the positive in the hall being under my name so that we could have another income.

" Suriyan I am willing to do the compromise too"

My sister Iva was shocked to hear me speaking like that and my mom was a little bit happy that am willing to say yes to compromise and marry and sad as the hall was the only source of income for the family.

"Suriyan I can compromise but in return I want to marry your cousin brother who came from America "

"What?? Do u know what are you speaking ??" Suriyan said

"You asked me to compromise and here I am. I accepted your offer"

"But you said " Suriyan said

"Yes. you heard me right, if you think we hid our sister from you .you too hid such a handsome cousin brother of yours who is well educated and lives and earns in America.so why not compromise and marry him and my life would be double ok"

"Hellooo girl.Do u know what your speaking " Suriyan's mama said

"Yes Aunty am well aware of what am speaking.In fact I liked your idea of compromising."

"We don't want such a girl Suriyan " Suriyan's mama said

"But mama I like Zia and ...."Suriyan said

"No,suriyan"suriyan's mama said

" We don't want to stay here for another single minute"suriyan's mama said

"Yes,please go . we are not holding you ."

"You ....." Suriyan's mama said

"And by the way the entrance and exit is the same way,hope you leave without missing ."

"Di ... I am sorry ,this is all because of me."Iva said

"No,Iva it's nothing like that.am fated to live alone I think."

"Zia , you sent them away but what are you going to tell the guests"Ma said

"Ma, I'll handle that" I said .

"Attention please , I knows everyone over here have come here for me,from distant place ,some have had requested for a day off in the place you work and you all have brought gifts and your prayers along with you.am happy to see you all hear.but am sorry to say this that my wedding is called off. I am being protected from a danger today because of your prayers.I request you all to have dinner and take your gifts with you as you will need it in the future and I'll keep your prayers for me".

Saying that I got down from the throne and walked back home. I entered my room and closed the door. I cried for an hour,later I heard Iva knocking the door.

I wiped my tears and opened the door. she consoled me and I removed my wedding dress and the jewellery I had worn. I must sleep early so that I won't be late to university tomorrow..

At the university today many of my colleague wished me for my marriage.I couldn't reply as I was sad.Suresh came forward and told me that I had kajol on my nose and I should wash it.when I came back I went to reply for the questions they asked me and they all turned the topic down saying marriage topic was boring.

" I knew you said them"

"Leave it Zia, your past was past".

I am happy to have such a good friend who understands me well.Hs is there for me in my happiness and my sadness.I don't have words to express what kind of a person he is.
