Our Imperfect Love - Aryan Khan

Chapter 3

Third Person's POV

As he walked down the elegant, double spiraled broad staircase,  Aryan could feel everyone's gaze on him. Especially his mother's. Gauri observed his every movement with her piercing gaze. This sent shivers down Aryan's spine. The businessman known to be fearless was sacred of his mother's displeasure. Seeing her disappointment made his heart ache. He was a mama's boy who loved her more than anything. Not to mention he was her most favorite child.

He slowly approached the dining area and took his seat. No one dared to make a single sound. Their was an awkward silence in the room. He slowly lifted his gaze. But as soon as his eyes met hismother's burning eyes,  he started becoming nervous and looked at his hands once again, not able to match anyone's stare.

"Were you out of your mind, Aryan?" Gauri Khan asked, finally breaking the ice. "What about your reputation,  what about the family's reputation,  what will happen to our business, did you at least think for once? Leave all those things. Did you at least think about the girl whom you claim to love? What about her? Did you ask her whether she loved you, wanted to spend her whole life with you, and love you till the last breath? Today was a really special day in Shloka's life and you just ruined it."" Gauri, calm down. We cannot change something that has already happened. All we can do is hear his say in this. Aryan, what caused you to kidnap a bride, Shloka Sharma on her wedding day? What caused you to ruin such Auspicious moment for the soon-to-be couple?" Shahrukh asked his eldest son,acting like a journalist to make a laugh out of it, trying to enlighten the atmosphere ( and failing terribly.) Both mother and son glared at him for a second." Dad, this isn't funny. Maa, I really love Shloka. My every action today was purely a result of my affection towards her. Also, from her face while going to the mandap, it was clear evident that she was forced into that marriage. She will live a better life with me. I'll give her everything she wants. I'll be able to fulfill her every wish. She'll live like a queen!" Aryan tried to persuade his mother to side with him. But to his disappointment, Gauri calmly asked him," What if she doesn't want to marry you? Then what are you going to do?"

Aryan felt a sudden surge of adrenaline throughout his body. He clenched his fists tightly so that he won't snap at his family members. He closed his eyes. He had thought about thus. He feared, that after knowing everything he had done, she will leave him......... Forever, and he would never be able to see her beautiful face. The world is too evil to deserve angels like her. He was afraid that he would never be able to see her beautiful smile, her sweet voice..... He was afraid that he would never get to hold her in his arms.

But she was his.... Only and only his to be held, pampered and cherished. He felt he felt at peace as he reminded himself that she was there with him..... at least for now. He shook away all the negative thoughts and released a sigh he had been holding in for long.

"Aryan when I ask you a question I want its answer from you." Gauri felt a pang in her heart as she spoke coldly with her child. She had never spoke like this to him. But she had to stay strong.

Aryan looked at his mother.He spoke in a calm and cold voice, sending chills down everyone's spines due to fear." She will have to. If shecan't  be mine, I will make sure that she won't be anyone else's. She would be the apple of my eyes.  I would hide my queen from the eyes of every single of the devils. And let me remind you,  Just like I can die for my loved ones, if needed I can kill for them too....

I can....

And I will......."

The determination in his eyes told Gauri that he was nowhere near to agree with them and let the bird out of the golden cage her son had made.
