The pool area

Veena looked out for Mrunal who went missing after the elders dispersed to discuss the speedfast wedding.

Soumya scanned the pool area and finally found the lone girl who was watching her reflection in the pool water over the full moon night.

"...Buji?!!..." Soumya's call made Mrunal straighten her posture to not let them sympathise with her pathetic self.

"..." Mrunal tried to fake smile but failed miserably. Veena held her hands as Soumya settled beside her, listening to the women.

"...are you ok with this?...this marriage?...Rajeev?...and you?...both of you?...together for a lifetime?...I hope you understand what it entails?...you will become a wife...a mafia's wife...are you ready for this?...you still have time to back out...think about it?..."

Mrunal scoffed shaking her head and looked at her "...Chech...I only have high respect for him...nothing else...he was always been there for me...even when I didn't need him...he was there...maybe it is destiny or I don't know...but if I am...*exhales deeply*...

If I am able to give even 1% of the happiness that he has given me...from the time of my existence...then I guess I will able to wash off my sins of always...hurting his pure soul...this is my chance to give him the rightful *hesitant*...rightful...*gulps*...I will promise to not hurt him anymore...If at all, you will notice any time in our married life that I have offended your Raj...you can take my pathetic life which could not even give happiness to anyone...Chech...I will try...I promise..."

As Veena saw the way she was still hiding her undead love for Rajeev, she was content that maybe they would surprise them with their pure and blissful love for each other.

She hugged Mrunal caressing her hair whispering "...welcome to the family, honey..." making Soumya squeal out of excitement to finally have her Buji with them.

Rajeev who saw the entire scene from the entrance of the pool area, felt proud of his Chech to let Mrunal give her take on the marriage. He was also little shy on why did his Buji still hide her true feeling for him. Guarantying him that his love was not dead...anymore.
