Vikram's pov:
What the actual hell is going on in my life??
Im getting engaged to someone whom i don't even know, not even her name ,hell i dint even see her for once , like a blind date, im blindly getting engaged.
All i know is she is nanna's friend's daughter.
It was like a shocker to me , i dint expect them to be ready with a girl for me to marry when they asked me. I thought i still had time, and eventually,i could delay it by giving random excuses but it was all sorted , suddenly they came up and said , tomorrow is ur engagement be ready!! Like what the....
And daksh was also avoiding me, with whom should i share my frustration??😔I was sitting on the chair, with all eyes on me, i am hating this attention , they are looking at me as if i was a museum piece .
I heard laughter and the sound of anklets... turning my attention to that side.
I saw her.
She was smiling at the girl beside her, may be her friend. She looked so innocent. Was i doing some sin? Thinking to torcher her , she doesn't deserve this , and doesn't deserve me. Im a beast, and she looks soo innocent like an angel...
A voice bought me back from my guilt trip.." chi chi , such a shame less girl she is, her sister died and she wants to marry her fiance now...." It was nidhi's grandma, prajakta das., She was mumbling to her self .
It then sinked in me, this girl is nidhi's cousin? What the fuck...., This new piece of information was enough to fill the rage in me, i was about to burst out when , maa held me by my shoulder and gave a look of ' dont u dare , it took me all my self-control to stay calm.
she was made to sit beside me and the pooja started already. And we were asked to exchange rings..this is it now i will be someone else's.
No , never , i belong only to nidhi , this marriage doesn't mean anything to me.
How can this girl even think of marring her sister's fiance? And to add up more to my anger, maa and nanna were behaving soo nice with her. They were never like this with nidhi , why .... Arghh.....they even called her as their daughter.....and even she was all sweet to my parents. From all this drama, i got to know that , her name is krishna.
......KRISHNA...We reached home and that was the limit, i broke the vase kept on the table..
Maa and nanna were shocked, daksh tried to stop me ,not to break something else too....
I shouted," what was that? She is nidhi's cousin, dint u get any other girl on this whole planet?? And u were soo good and caring towards her, u were never like that to nidhi. And u gave her ur mom's bangles!!! U never gave it to nidhi! Seriously, why maa. Did she trap u ??
" Shut up vikram,u cant speak that way about someone whom u dont know. And about what u asked, yes, she is special to us , we love her, more than nidhi, if u ask, then its a yes, because it is krishna, if love had a human form ,its her.And she is the daughter -in-law of this house, whether u like it or not, u dont have any other option." Nanna said , may be for the very first time, raising his voice against me.
I was shocked and frustrated to listen to this..
Its a waste to talk to them about this anymore, so i walked out of the house..
____________________________Days had run soo fast, i am going to get married today, right now. whether i like it or not, now its no more in my hands, and thinking about the girl, krishna, is just infuriating me more.. i was wrong in judging her looking at her, she looked innocent, but i know its a facade..if not, who would agree to marry her dead sister's fiance, knowing that, we loved each other.
She sat beside me ,
As my bride.
It was nidhi's place.
all the chants of the priest , gattimella , marriage.the place beside me , it belongs to nidhi, for once i thought that nidhi was sitting beside me, i turned to look at her, it wasn't nidhi, i immediately averted my gaze from her.
I took the mangalsutra and stood up to tie it around her neck, our eyes met, for the first time. Her brown eyes, held something...a spark... something magical.... making me forget everything for few seconds....it was hypnotizing..... intoxicating... which made me keep looking back at her time and again...i hate this feel but, i cant help, the only thing i properly looked at her is her eyes. I just want to look at them again and again..i felt like I've seen them somewhere, it made me remind of someone....Reality, i am married now.....
After all those rituals and annoying aunties, i couldn't stay there anymore, they all were expecting alot from me, its so frustrating, i needed my space to sink in to the reality.....taking my car keys i just left from there, and daksh followed me i dint deny him , i just kept driving aimlessly, it was completely silent , no one spoke anything.
After sometime, daksh broke the deadly silence " vikram, are. U. Ok?" He asked in a scared voice, minding about my reaction.
" Ok? , How can I, how do you expect me to be ok daksh, im freaking married . To someone else. What do u think i will be?? All calm and cool ?" I shouted, removing my frustration on him.
" Its not like that Vicky, plz think once, its ur life, and many lives are tied with urs , u need to move on, u cant just be stuck in the past, how long ra, plz bava, we all are very concerned about you, think abt uncle and aunty for once. U atleast have to try to move on." He said in a very calm voice.
I dint reply anything.
I drove back home .
When i entered inside, i saw maa feeding my wife.." MY WIFE?" where did that come from, arghhh..all this marriage thing is taking a troll on my thinking.
I keep staring at them, they looked so good together, i saw true happiness in maa's face after so long. I was the one who had taken away that happiness from her. Im happy seeing her like this.
But this girl is like a mystery to me. How did she manage to gain my parent's trust so easily, i wonder.
Lets see how she will survive with me , im not simply called as a beast, i will surely show her the monster.
