The Billionaire's Bride

Chapter Five : Turns...for the better or worse?

Third pov

Piya hardly sleeps as she thinks about what her sister said.She sneaks out of the room and calls her best friend.

"Yes?"she hears some music in the background.
"Are you at a party,Grace?"she asks.

"Yes,at Rohan's house.I had no idea that he is rich.He lives in a mansion,Piya!Wait,let me go upstairs....Yes,how is the wedding?"
Piya  tells her  everything,"Now I don't know what to do!"

She squeals,"It's so easy!The solution is right in front of you!"she exclaims in excitement.Huh?What is she talking about?

She sighs,"You like him,right?"

"Um...yes."

"You don't want him to get humiliated,right?"

"Yes."Piya says slowly,not getting where she's going with this.
"Then you must marry him!"she blurts out and Piya gasps, feeling her heart pounding inside her chest.
"M-me?Marry Aryan?"Piya feels  giddy just thinking about becoming his wife.

"Yes,dummy.Who else? You're smart, beautiful,fun and kind.Just steal the letter from his room and marry him pretending to be your sister.No one will get hurt and you guys can sort out everything later.You said that he is compassionate and caring,right?Then I'm sure that he will understand."

She smiles shyly, thinking of the two of them married,"Okay,I will think about it."Piya tells her but she has already made her decision.

Piya hears her yawning, "Goodnight....Mrs.soon-to-be Kapoor."she teases and Piya blushes.
"Good  night."

Piyashi's pov

After putting the henna on my hands,I write a tiny A in  the corner of my hand.The whole day I was blushing so much and I  am so nervous that I could hardly eat anything.Preeti was talking to me about stealing Aryan's shoes but I wasn't paying much attention.Sorry Preeti,I need to save his reputation instead of his shoes.

The whole time at the turmeric ceremony Anya di was looking so happy... looking like a bride in love.She doesn't look like she's unhappy and in love with someone else.I hope that she finds happiness after she elopes with Tarun.I will try to convince mama-papa to forgive her.

Time passes quickly and  I    get my transfer letter from Grace.I dance all the way to my room in happiness as it has been approved!
Well,this is what you get if the boss is  so awesome.I'll miss  my boss and my friend Grace but I'll visit her soon.

I watch as Anya packs her clothes and she sees me packing my clothes that I got from home."Why so many clothes,Piya?Are you planning on going back to the US so soon?"she asks and I nod,"Yes,I applied for leave just for your wedding,Di!Now,I need to go back."I  lie and she hugs me,"I'll miss you."
"Me too,di!"I say , hugging her back.

We go to sleep and I close my eyes, thinking about tomorrow.I will have to do it...it's my only choice now since I see that Anya Di is very happy with her decision.I should be happy about mine.Starting tomorrow,I will have a new life.

*****************

Everything is very suspenseful the next morning as  I know about  the plan and I'm keeping an eye on Anya di.
After   getting my turmeric done in my room ,I wash it off.I see her covering her face with her  sari and I see a folded paper in her hand.

I follow her  to Aryan's room and watch as she puts the paper on his bed.I hide in the room next to his as she leaves and then I enter his room.I grab the letter and run out of the room.I go downstairs and see Anya Di   waiting outside with her suitcase.Is she waiting for Tarun?She will leave soon but I should get ready.

I go back to my room and close the door.After putting the paper in my bag,I sit on the chair and look in the mirror.This is it! There's no going back now!After this I will be a married woman and I will have more responsibilities.

Knock knock.
"Beta,the make up people have arrived.Can we come in?"mumma says and my eyes widen.I cover my face just before the door opens.She comes closer,"Anya,open your veil.We need to get you ready!Do you know how long it takes to—"
"Reema Ji!"I hear someone call her,"We need your help.The flower arrangements...!"
She looks at me,"Okay,start getting ready and I will come soon."

After she leaves,I sigh in relief and  show my face.I greet the make up artists Heena and Bebo and they get  started on my hair.After fixing my hair ,I get ready quickly and fix my accessories.
"You look beautiful,mam."Heena says and I smile.I put the veil on , covering my face with it.At least,I have high heels on to look as tall as my di.

My mother barges in the room and for a minute ,I  panic.Does she know?Did she find out? Then she rushes to my side,"No time!The auspicious time is running out.Walk fast,Anya."

I  start walking with my mother and from under my veil,I can see the handsome face of Aryan.He looks so good in his red sherwani and turban.He looks like a king.Ma puts me next to him and I breathe in and out slowly to calm myself.We  start the rituals and I blush as I put my small hand on his big hand for the  ritual.After putting the garlands and taking the 7 rounds around the fire,we sit back down.I bend my head as he puts the vermilion on my forehead and the mangalsutra around my neck.

As I stand up,I realise I'm a married woman now.I'm someone's wife, someone's daughter in law and someone's sister in law now.They are my family too.I can't believe that Aryan is my husband!

I  will miss my parents  but I'm happy that I'm going to aunty's and uncle's house.They are very loving people and Preeti is like a sister to me.After taking blessings together and after I hug my parents,I get ready for my new beginning.
