Her Forgotten Love

Chapter 8:- Where is Kavya??

Chapter 8:- Where is Kavya??

Next day,

Advika, Shehnaaz's mother, came to Shehnaaz's room to wake Shehnaaz and Ishani who were sleeping and cuddling with each other.

" Wake up girls", Advika, Shehnaaz's mother, said, entering their room.

" Good morning,Mom!!"Shehnaaz said, kissing her cheek.

" Good morning", her mother said, kissing her forehead.

" Two minutes,Mom!!"Ishani said, hiding her face in a blanket.

" You are going to get married but still behave like this", their mother said.

"Mom,Let her sleep freely for some more time. There are still ten hours for her marriage", Shehnaaz said.

" You're the best dii", Ishani said happily, before hugging the pillow and sleeping soundly.

" I don't know how she will handle herself after marriage", their mother said, shaking her head.

" Don't worry,Mom!! She will be fine. Dad must be waiting for us. I will come after taking shower", Shehnaaz said and went to the washroom.

In the evening, Shehnaaz helped Ishani in getting ready for her wedding.

" Princesses", Dhruv, their father, whispered with wet eyes, seeing his daughter ready for marriage.

Shehnaaz's mother, Advika, holds her husband's hand, feeling emotional seeing their daughter in a wedding dress.

" Mom,Dad", Ishani said, crying. She wants to start her life with Aarav but she doesn't want to leave her parents.

Why do we girls have to leave our family,our parents who had pampered us from birth??

Three of them were crying in each other's arms while Shehnaaz was smiling with wet eyes, seeing her family.

" Why are you guys getting emotional?? She is only twenty minutes away from our house", Aarnav said, entering the room.

He was looking handsome in traditional clothes. His face was glowing with happiness since he is getting married in a few hours.

" You are looking like a Chudail, my dear sister", Aarnav said, teasing Ishani.

" Bhai", Ishani said, crying.

" Don't tease my princess", their father said to Aarnav.

" You only pamper your daughters. I am also getting married tonight but nobody is giving compliment to me", Aarnav said, complaining like a child.

" Come here", Dhruv, their father, said, opening his arms.

Both father and son hugged each other.

Shehnaaz, Ishani and their mother joined them in the family hug.

Later, Shehnaaz sent them outside while she helped Ishani in  her makeup.

" I will miss you,Dii", Ishani said, hugging her.

" I will miss you too", Shehnaaz said, kissing her forehead.

Shehnaaz took her downstairs where Aarav was sitting in the Mandap waiting for Ishani.

Riya was already sitting in the Mandap with Aarnav while Sidharth was waiting for Kavya.

" Why am I feeling like I am doing something wrong??", Sidharth thought.

As the day of his marriage was coming close, Sidharth had started feeling restless,like something is not right.

He ignored the feeling as usual.

Shehnaaz felt pain in her heart, seeing Sidharth sitting in the Mandap waiting for someone who is not her.

Everyone was waiting for Kavya and her parents to come downstairs.

" Ayush, Dhriti, go and see where Kavya and her parents are?"Gayatri, Sidharth's grandmother, said to her grandchildren.

Ayush and Dhriti were about to go upstairs when they saw Mr and Mrs Goenka coming downstairs. The couple was looking very sad.

" What happened?? Where is Kavya?"Viraj, Sidharth's father, asked them.

Mr Goenka gave them a letter with a sad face.

Sidharth's parents  took the letter and started reading it.

Sidharth's mother, Sanyukta, gasped reading the letter while his father, Viraj, got angry.

" Viraj?"Sidharth's grandfather asked his son to say something.

Viraj gave the letter to his father. Sidharth went to his grandfather seeing him getting angry.

He took the letter from his grandfather. His eyes widened reading the letter.

Mom, Dad, I am sorry that I am leaving like this just before the marriage but I don't have any option. I met someone a few weeks ago and started loving him. When we both realised our feelings,it was already very late. I tried to ignore my feelings but I can't live without him. If I get married today with Sidharth,then three lives will be destroyed. Moreover,there is no spark between me and Sidharth. Please say sorry to Sidharth and his family from my side. I can't marry him so I am going to my love. I will be back with him after a few weeks.

I am sorry everyone….

                                                   Kavya
             

" How can she leave without thinking about our family's reputation?? If she loves someone she should have told us. It was not like we were forcing her to marry Sidharth", Sidharth's grandfather,Daksh said, angrily.

Aarnav-Riya and Aarav- Ishani got up from the Mandap, hearing loud voices.

" What will we do  now??"Sidharth's mother said, crying.

Sidharth was standing with a blank face,not showing what he was thinking about.

One hand Sidharth was feeling peace in his heart after knowing he is not getting married to Kavya but on the other hand,he was angry because if everyone gets to know about his runaway bride, his family's  reputation will be destroyed.

He can't let their family reputation get destroyed because of him and his marriage.

It was good that they had  invited only close relatives in the marriage, otherwise God knows what would have happened.

Everyone was stressed not knowing what to do and what not to do….

Shehnaaz was shocked knowing Kavya had run away. She looked at Sidharth who was standing with an emotionless face.

Sidharth lifts his head and his eyes collide with Shehnaaz. Both were looking at each other with unknown emotions in their eyes.

Shehnaaz broke eye contact with Sidharth.

Elders were talking about what to do next….

" We can't cancel the marriage. Day after tomorrow is their reception. Media and our business partners are  waiting to meet Sidharth's wife",Sidharth's father said, helplessly.

"He is right. We need to get Sidharth married today with another girl", Sidharth's grandfather said.

" But with whom??", Anamika, Sidharth's chachi asked.

" Shehnaaz", Sidharth's grandmother, Gayatri, said looking at Shehnaaz.

Everyone was shocked to hear her, especially Shehnaaz and Sidharth.

Shehnaaz looks at Sidharth with her eyes wide open.
