TejRan: Destined For You

PART-2

TEJU'S POV:

"Teju, get ready fast or we will be late.

What are you doing?" My mom yelled at me from outside my bedroom's door.

"Yes, mom, just 10 minutes more. " I
replied, but I was not sure whether I wanted to go to this wedding or not.

How can I see him getting married to someone else. I think it was a bad idea & i should not go as I will not be able to be normal

But at the same time, I wanted to see him just one more time before he got married.

Moreover, I wanted to show my stubborn mind that he was really getting married.

I had this huge crush on him for the last five years though it seemed that he was totally oblivious of me.

I can't even blame him, he didn't even know about my feelings.

Anyways it was too late now. I took out a beautiful Saari and started getting ready.

"Teju, do you want to come with us or not?" My mom asked me, on entering my room. But as soon as she looked at me her expression changed.

"Oh my god! you are looking so lovely, dear.I am amazed that you are wearing a saree. You are looking extremely beautiful." Mom said.

We came downstairs and as soon as my Father saw me, his eyes lit up with love. He hugged me and placed a kiss on my forehead.

We all drove to the wedding venue. My heart was beating like anything. We entered the hall which was decorated very beautifully.

Oh god, why have I come here? My heart started to sink, my feet refused to move and wanted to go away but could not.

Karan was there with his friends looking very happy he just got out of his car which was decorated beautifully with flowers. His parents and brother were also there. My parents started going towards them and my mom tugged me along with her.

As soon as Mr Satpal kundrra and Mrs Suneeta Kundrra, (Karan's
parents) saw us, they came to greet us.

"Congratulations!! " My mom greeted
Suneeta aunty and she smiled hugging mom.

After they all greeted each other, Uncle looked at me and said in a surprised tone "Awwww!! Who is this young and pretty girl? Have we met earlier, dear?" "Uncle please stop teasing me."

It seems you have grown overnight. You are looking so beautiful..." Uncle said. I just blushed at his comments and my parents were looking at me adoringly.

Uncle said to dad, " Prakash, I think we should start looking for a suitable match for Teju."

"Yes, it seems so she is twenty-two." My dad replied "Oh please, dad and Uncle, just stop this."

It is better if I ignore them. So I said, "I am going to get something to drink."

I started going towards a snack bar and grabbed a glass of juice.

My eyes started searching for Karan again and I saw that he was looking at me. I smiled at him but he kept on looking at me very intensely. I wanted to know what he was thinking as I could not understand the
expression in his eyes.

Just then someone tapped my shoulder. As I turned, Karan's younger brother, Paras was standing there. He was two years older than me and was quite friendly.

"So, someone is dressed to impress all. You are looking so beautiful. Where were you all the time?"

"Paras please stop this, I am getting irritated now, everyone is teasing me.

"Oh no, I am not teasing you, in fact, I am enjoying the fact that I am talking to the prettiest girl here and my friends there are asking me to introduce them to you."

"Please don't do it, I am not interested in anyone."

"I know......" Said Paras, very seriously and I was about to ask him, what did he mean by that. But just then, someone called him and he excused himself and went away.

I again looked at Karan and still, he was looking at me which made me happy and sad at the same time.

I started drinking the juice slowly and my throat felt dry.

Karan was four years older than me, but I always had a huge crush on him. I was generally shy in his presence and he used to avoid me. I used to get hurt that he was avoiding me but my feelings remained intact.

It was just last week when Karan's parents came to our place and told us that Karan wants to get married to his girlfriend Anusha within a week. Uncle was not very happy with the decision.

I felt miserable after I heard the news.
I went to my room and cried for a very long time and today I was here to attend his wedding.

Though, all my friends knew about my crush on him, but my parents had no idea about it.

I was still lost in my thoughts, when I heard that someone was shouting, there was some kind of tension in the air.

All of a sudden everyone seemed tense. I could not understand what was going on.

Karan seemed to be very angry and was looking like a wounded lion. Uncle and aunty were very tense and my parents were trying to calm them.

All of a sudden Uncle started sweating
profusely and my dad shouted for Paras and Karan and they all took Satpal Uncle to a room.

Paras called for the doctor, and their family doctor rushed to examine Uncle. Aunty was crying and Karan
was looking very sad and Guilty. I didn't even know what was going on.

The doctor said that Uncle had an anxiety attack and as he had already had one heart attack last year, so it was not good for him to be anxious.

My Dad, Karan and Paras went inside. There was so much tension everywhere. I asked my mom, " Mom, what happened to Uncle? He was so happy, as always. Why is he so anxious?"

Before mom could say anything my dad came out of the room and called my mom and they talked privately for five minutes. They seemed to be in tension and were.

My mom came and she held my hand in hers and led me towards my dad. My dad said that Uncle was not well, but he needed to talk to me. I didn't know what to say. I was so confused.

I followed him and my mom and
aunty also entered the room in which Uncle was resting. I looked at him and he asked me to come near him.

"Beta, I don't know how to say this, but can I ask you something?"

"Of course Uncle, you can ask me anything. But you must take a rest, you are looking very weak."

"I will take a rest after I talk to you. Please forgive me for asking this but I need you to do something for me... us..." Said Uncle looking at me with some hope in his eyes.

"Uncle please, you can ask me to do
anything, anytime. You are just like my dad. I respect and love you a lot. I will surely do anything to make you happy. "

He held my hand and asked me, " Will you please be my daughter?"

I got very confused and was trying to get what he meant by that just then he said, " I want you to marry my son Karan........."
