SHE WAS NEVER MINE

'when you stop believing in love..'

"Aviiiiiii," Anushka chuckled as she rose from the sofa. "Let me goooo," Avi held her even tighter as she attempted to get up.

"Naahhh, I'm not letting you goooooo," Avi chuckled, his fingers playing with Anushka's hair.

"I've been here for the last 5 hours, and we're getting married within 4 hours. Can you just let me go to my house? I'll be back here afterward," Anushka said, giving Avi a puppy face.

"Kya yaar... I can't wait any longer nowwwww," Avi hugged her as she got up from the sofa.

"Just a little more, Mr. Sajdeh," she playfully ruffled his soft hair.

"Okayyy, soon-to-be Mrs. Sajdeh," Anushka felt warmth in her stomach. She walked out of Avi's room.

"Hey, listen," Avi called out from behind, prompting her to turn around.

"Haan?" She smiled.

"The magazine will be here in a few minutes. Don't you want to see my work?" Avi asked. They had put so much effort into this magazine, even with their wedding preparations underway. Anushka knew how much this magazine meant to Avi; it was for a well-known brand and would significantly boost his career.

"Acha, then..." Anushka's phone rang.

"Even before the wedding, you forgot your family's home, sister! Forget about your own wedding and come back home now. Mom has been asking for you constantly," Rohit's voice echoed from the other side of the phone.

"Aree babaaa," Anushka didn't know how to respond.

"We'll address it later, don't worry!!" Avi understood. Anushka smiled, hugged him, and then left.

"Hey, listen," she turned around, "I'll be waiting for you," she lingered for a moment, watching him

The DJ outside Anushka's house is getting loud and loud, and she was already in her bridal looking so beautiful.

"Tu chali jayegi yaar" She heard Rohit at the door, she turned around.

"Mere jaane ki sabse jyada jaldi tujhe hi thi naa"Anushka chuckled, Rohit smiled softly, came to her and kneeled down.

"Bhohot achi lag rahi hai" Rohit said.

"What?? I didn't hear it" Anushka laughed, she listened to what he said but getting compliments from your brother doesn't happen more often.

"You look nothing less than a princess" He repeated.

"Don't forget this home will be yours always, everything here belongs to you and you belong here" He said to her, Anushka hasn't seen Rohit this emotional before.

"I know that you will always be my safe place!" Anushka holds his hands.

"Ro.." Virat came there.
"Sorry to interrupt, They are here The groom side is here" He added.

"Okayy, I'm going now, Ab sentimental mat ho" Rohit said, getting up, tapped her forehead. Anushka smiled at him.

"You look beautiful Anushka" Virat said, standing at the door.

"Thank you."

That moment was weird, they looked at each other for more than a second.

"I should go..." Virat said.
