ARROGANT
AMBITIOUS

Have you ever made a decision knowing that this will cause you trouble in future but still you have to agree on that. I never did it until now. I know that this whole marriage is going to make lot of troubles for me. But still, I can't do anything. I need this deal for my future plan execution.
I drive through the chaos of this city towards my home. It is situated on the outskirts of the city as my mother wanted a peaceful surrounding. I know how much my mother wants peace and how he never got it till he was with my father.
I parked my car and step into my home. As soon as I entered, I am greeted by my mothers smiling face doing pooja. My mother is a traditional Indian woman who devotes majority of her time worshipping God. In her opinion, whatever we have is because of almighty but I don't share her beliefs. I only believe in hard-work and persistence. And moreover, if she loves her god so much then why did that God never came to help her when that bastard was abusing her. That's the reason why I have no believe in almighty.
"Well well who's the reason for your beautiful smile." I said hugging her.
I have my guess about the reason but I wanted to hear from her.
"Shivika called me today and we talked for long time. My baby has grown too fast. Did you know she designed her first catalogue and it was a fabulous success. I'm so proud of her. I just thanked bappa for his blessings on my children." she said in her low voice.
Shesha Sharma. My mother. My warrior. There are not enough words made to describe my mothers qualities. She got married at very young age and there is a big age gap between my parents. But my mother always plays the role of good wife. But when your husband is a jerk, no goodness can change that. My father is a scumbag. He always belittled my mother and abused her. Mentally and physically. That man never cared about anyone. My mother always tried to savour their relationship but there is nothing to save. When I saw first time him hitting her, at that moment I decided that I will take my mother away from him. But I had to wait till I attained legal age. But as soon as that happen, I removed that asshole from my mums life. I already convinced my mother for divorce. She knows that she has to walk away for her sake and her childrens happiness. I was 19 and Arush was 18. We looked over all the divorce proceedings with the help of my uncle and aunt.
But even after destroying our lives till then Nitin Oberoi didnt stop. He played his last dirty card and took the custody of our sister. He knew that we all love Shivika so much and thats why he took her. Shivika and Shivansh are twins. And it affects Shivansh so much that her entire personality changes. Neil is youngest and was only 10 at that time so we all tried our best to hide these gruesome details from him.
I see my mother happy face and smiled in return.
"Yes, she is a big baby now. And I promise you two will meet soon. I will complete my family."I promised her.
She smiles but I can see sadness in her eyes. She misses her so much. Sometimes I hear mom crying at night and talking with Shivika photo but she will never show her breakdown in front of us. She is the strongest women for me.
"Why you guys are getting happy happy without me?" Neil says pouting his lips and resting her head in mom's lap.
"Seriously Neil grow up. You are already 20 and still do dramatics." I say rolling me eyes.
"Maa see bhai is again jealous. He doesn't like the fact that I am your favourite son."
"Again, living in your delusional world Neil" comes Arush voice.
Both Arush and Shivansh entered together and take seats on sofa.
We all live in same house but have different wings so that we don't invade others privacy. I have north wing while Arush have south wing. Shivansh and Neil have east and west wing. But majority of time we spend here in common area because mom is here.
"Shush!! Stop teasing each other. I love all my children equally. You all are part of me" mom said in her motherly tone.
My relationship with my brothers was always strong. We might never show our affections vocally but we all know we can die and kill for each other.
I was listening to their conversation when my phone beeped. I pulled out and read the text. DEAL IS ON.
I clenched my phone harshly. I have to tell my family about the marriage. Especially my mother as she always dreamt of my marriage. I know when she will know that this was all charade, she will be hurt but I have no option.
"I have an announcement to make."
Everyone looked at me.
"I'M GETTING MARRIED NEXT WEEK"
There was an eerie silence. Everyone shows different reaction. Arush knows about it so he was just nodding his head. Shivansh raised his brow but he is smart enough to know that there must be some ulterior motive. Mom was looking at me like I just cut off her tulsi plant. And Neil starts laughing like a maniac.
"Oh my god you are cracking jokes now. Bhai seriously joking is not your forte so please never try this again." Neil says still laughing.
"Is there anything more I should know Vihaan" mom ask me with worried eyes.
"Just don't think this as a big deal. This will be only contract marriage. You all only have to come for public appearance. That's all"
"WHATTT!! You were serious. How can you get married like this? Who is this girl. Tell me her name." Neil says after her laughter episode.
"Like I said this is not a big deal. And her name is SHARVARI. Happy now." I said irritately
"Is she Sharvari Malhotra?" mom asked
I don't want to tell her about it now but I have no option left.
"Yes, but you don't have to talk to her. I will even ensure that she doesn't came in front of you." I assured her.
"What are you saying? I know her mother. She died when Sharvari was only 5. I still remember the look on that little girl face. Vihaan please don't hurt her in any way. I know you must have your excuses but she is a nice girl." My mom said in her gentle tone.
I fisted my hands. Mom didn't know that girl has now become a walking scandal. My mom always sees good side of people and that's why I have to ensure that she didn't get in contact with Sharvari.
"But she is a still Malhotra. And don't worry about her mom. Just have faith in me."
