MY MISTAKE (MINE SERIES #1)

9. VIHAAN

"Yes Mr. Sung we are collaborating for this project. You don't have to worry about anything" I said giving my best fake smile.

I have been talking with Kim Sungs since an hour ago. They are very happy that I am collaborating with Malhotaras. They are even invited for my wedding but they can't travel on such a short notice. At least I don't have to pretend extra in front them.

"We wish you very best for this project and happily married life" then he cut the call.

Happily married. What a joke. This marriage will be anything but happy. Tomorrow is my wedding. I didn't prepare for any single thing. The ceremony is going to be intimate and after the ceremony we will just pose for media so that Kim Sungs can get their confirmation that we are really married.

Maa told me to select my outfit but I refused her saying this is not a real marriage. This bond will be only on paper. It holds no importance for me.

My phone starts beeping alerting me for upcoming video call. SHIVIKA calling.

"Hey kiddo whats up?" I asked her smilingly

"You are getting married bhai and didn't even tell me. How could you do this to me!! I got to know about this from Neil. I am so much mad at you" she says emotionally.

Shivika has always been a sensitive kid. She can't control her emotions and often starts crying while being angry.

"Hey hey stop crying kiddo. You know I love you so much. And I didn't tell you about this because this marriage is only for a deal. It will be ended after the deal is done." I say in my soft tone.

She stares at me blankly.

"You're not marrying for love? I thought you finally found someone who you love. Bhai how can you marry without any emotions. This isn't right". she whispers in low voice.

"You know I don't believe in love. For me love means only my family. And don't stress yourself about this wedding. Just focus on your career Shivi. You are growing so fast. I'm proud of you."

She smiles shyly.

"I just want you to be happy bhai. Anyway, I should go my friends are calling me. Bye love you."

"Love you too kiddo" I smile and shut off my laptop.

I miss my sister so much. And I know she misses us too. She might smile for us but I know how much pain she endures. After she turn 18, I asked her to come back India but she refused. We were so shocked but she wasn't ready to tell us the reason. I know this is one of my father manipulations. He must threaten her with something but she didn't tell us. I promised her that one day soon we are going to bring that bastard down. I will move heaven and hell and won't rest until I reunite my sister with her family.

As I was plotting hundreds of ways to extract my revenge there is knocking on my door.

"Come in."

"How is my favourite nephew doing?" asked my uncle.

"You say this to your every nephew." Said my aunt.

My aunt and uncle are part of my family. Uncle is younger to my mom and only few years older than me. He is the one who helped me in filing divorce for my mother and hiring best lawyer. My mother is from poor family and faces hardship all her life. When my Nanu married her to my father she thought things will change now. But she was unaware of the hell that was waiting for her. Mom never complained about her problems to her family. In fact, when I told them about all of my father deeds they were shocked to their core. My uncle was so angry that he barely controls himself from murdering my father.

"Darling you were supposed to be supporting me not insulting." Uncle said softly to aunt.

They are so much in love with each other that it can make me sick sometimes. I don't how it feels to be madly in love and neither I want know but I'm happy for my uncle.

"Shush Viren. We came here to talk to V. So, V we recently found out that you are getting married for some sort of deal. Whats the full story?" my aunt asked raising her brow.

"I am marrying Sharvari Malhotra because my deal with Koreans required collab with them. So, I have no option left as you already know how much I need this deal." I replied to her. I always keep my uncle and aunt in loop regarding my plans.

"Bloody Malhotaras" uncle cursed loudly.

"Listen V. I'm sure you know what you are doing and already have a strategy but dont indulge yourself too deep in this revenge that you unintentionally push away someone who you care about." Aunt said softly.

"What do you mean?" I asked clearly confused.

"You will know when the time come. And yes, go try your outfit for tomorrow. Your mother is waiting for you," with that said they both left.

I thought about aunt words for some time. Who can I possibly push away?
