In evening : shreyaaaa! Maa is call me " Shreya beta  makeup artist ayi hai inhe siya ke room me lekar jao or tum bhi tyar ho jao jaldi se jyada time nhi Raha ab " mom said to me
"Ji maa " I said

After one an hour I am ready  and siya di is also ready " siya di you are looking pretty, aj to jiju ap ko dekh ker ik dum flat ho jaynge " I said to siya
Di , she is happy and similing
" Acha sun ik bar tu maa ko bula degi I don't know why I am feeling not good I feel like having pain I. My chest " siya said to me and I walked out of room for calling mom
"Maa siya di apko bula rhi hai " I said to mom
"Kya hua siya beta " mom said to siya
" Maa I am not feeling well I am having pain in my chest and feeling anxious" siya said
" Are siya to bhi na mujhe dra hi Diya asa sabke sath hi hota hai tujhe anxious feel hon ke jrort nhi hai asa sabke sath hi hota hai just relax" mom said to siya di .
I also said siya di just relax.
After some time mom said they are coming just came down at door for welcome Kapoor's family.
" Siya di ap yha ruko maa niche bula rhi hai me ati ho sabka welcome kar ke " I said to siya di and she said okay
I came down and all my family is standing to welcome kabeer jiju and his family.
After Aarti mom put some vermilion and rice in middle of forehead of kabeer jiju and put sweets in the mouth of jiju " are jamayi ji muh mittha kare barfi ke sath" then kabeer bow and get blessing of all elders
I said namaste to jiju and everyone of his family
At the entrance after some argument with jiju alongwith his friends and cousins we get 91000 rs as shagun for welcome and everyone enter the house.
After sometime pandit ji asks to go get the dulhan down for phere .
"Shreya beta jao siya ko niche leke aao" mom said to me
"Ji maa" I nooded my head
When I reached at the room and knock at the door " siya di Mai hu darwaza kholiye " no one responded at the door . When I open the door I shocked siya di at the floor in unconscious state
" Siya di siya di akhe kholiye na siya di " but siya di is not responding and her heart is not beating
I started screaming " maaa maaa papaaa papaaa jaldi ayeye upar siya di ko kuch ho gaya hai " tears coming down from my eyes and I started trembling . Everyone comes at the door all my family and also Kapoor's family.
" Someone call the doctor please" I said
" Siya beta utho kya hua utho beta " maa papa trying to call but siya di is not responding.
In sometime when doctor arrive and examine siya di and came out of room he said " she is no more "  when I hear the word tears coming down from my eyes also everyone one is in shock and all family members are crying.
" Per doctor hua kya siya ko " kabeer asked
" Heartache , maybe she is not feeling well but ignored it and suddenly when she is not able to bear it and no one is around hed and she lost her life " doctor said
Mom started crying and screaming " yeh sab meri hi galti hai siya ne bola tha ki use shi feel nhi ho rha per mujhe lga shadi ke karn gabhrhat ho rhi ho gi per nhi yeh sab meri hi galti hai " mom said
Papa bow at everyone and requested everyone to go back and said to Kapoor's family " Hume maaf kar dijiye yeh shadi ab nhi ho sakti " Papa's voice is full of emotional and tears continuously coming down and he is on ground crying totally broken , suddenly a strong voice come " hum barat vaapis Khali hath nhi ja sakte , agar siya se shadi nhi Hui tu apko apni choti beti ki shadi kabeer se karni ho gi yahi hamare khandan ki pratha hai jo ki apko nibhani padegi , kisi ne bhi ni socha tha ki asa kuch hoga par aj is mandap per shadi to zror hogi  , yeh to apko bhi pta hai Mehta ji ki yeh hamari sanskriti me hai nhi to asubh mana jata hai " it's kabeer Kapoor Dadi ( nirmala Kapoor )
I am in shock when I hear all this even all my family.
Papa asked me to come with him , I go with him in another room, every step I moving forward my whole body is trembling, brain is not working, I am not able to understand what's all this things going on and I am in mess .
Papa asked me to sit , tears in my eyes papa hugged me and said stay strong Shreya you can't broke like that , he continued and asked me " Shreya beta mein janta ho ki tumne yeh kabhi nhi socha hoga even mein bhi yeh kabhi nhi socha tha ki kuch asa ho jayga ki hamari duniya hi khatm ho jaygi par Shreya beta yehi bhi sach hai ki agar khandan me asa kuch ho jai to kisi na kisi ko us jagah per shadi karni hoti hai me tum par dabah nhi dal rha per chije hi kuch aesi ho gayi hai ki mujhe kuch samjh nhi a rha ki ho kya gaya , par me tumhe yeh jror Kehna chauga ik kabeer bhut hi acha or kabil insan hai or vo tumhe khush rekhega to please tum siya ki jagah par use shadi kar lo mein tumhare age hath jod rha ho siya ke liye hi "
" Tears continuously coming down from my eyes and I don't know what to do and how to react in this situation because I don't even think that I will end up like that I have to marry my brother-in-law in place of my sister "
Papa going out from room and said to think about it.

What's your thoughts will Shreya agree to marry kabeer ????
