Aarohi...

I was jolted awake by the noises in my house and found myself sleeping on the floor.

Suddenly the memories of Rikshit and my uncle's conversation flashed in front of my eyes and again the pain inside my heart started increasing, my head was paining a lot.

The house was filled with an air of excitement and busyness as the preparations for the engagement were in full swing. Family members were bustling around, making sure everything was just right for the special occasion. The sound of laughter and chatter filled the air and the aroma of delicious food being prepared wafted through the house.

It was a joyous and lively atmosphere but here I was broken, sitting in my room alone and continuously thinking about the betrayal given by the person I feel attached to and by my uncle, just because of that property.

God, please help! What do I do? I can't marry a person who wants me because of money? How could he do this to me? How did my uncle do this to me? Didn't he love me? I still remember how he buy chocolates, toys, and anything that I asked for him immediately. how can someone change because of money?

These thoughts were continuously striking in my mind and my tears were not stopping, continuously flowing out of my eyes like the water from fountains.

Then I heard a knock on my door, not being in the situation to face anyone and didn't want anyone to see me like this,
" I am up, and already in the bathroom." I answered, controlling my sobs.

"Okay, I only came to wake you up and to inform you that you have to leave at 11 am for your appointment at the Beauty Parlor, although that does not have any effect on your monkey face still for the sake of you," Yash informed me.

If I was alright and had my senses in the right place then I would definitely show him the consequences of his words but I was not so, " Of course not, now shut up and go, I'll be there at 11, don't worry." I replied.

I can't ruin everyone's mood and the marriage date is still not fixed, I still have time to think about something, contemplating all this, I moved to the bathroom, did my morning routine, packed my dress, makeup, and jewelry, looking last time at the mirror only to found my half sleep, red and swollen eyes.

I came out of my room, met everyone, and then left for my appointment with my brother. The whole car ride was full of teasing by my brother and if everything was alright I would definitely enjoy every moment of this with my whole heart but right now I was hardly controlling my tears, looking out of the window, I pulled a forced smile and hummed in his sarcasm, not want to let him know what I have been going through.

After half an hour I reached there and found Yashika already waiting for me, I told my brother to leave and looked at the other arrangements and instructed him on some other details about the function and also to pick me up after the makeup. He departed and I made my way to the personal room to get ready with Yashika, she knew something was definitely up that's why as soon as we reached the room she asked," What happened? Why are you looking so upset? Did you guys had a fight?
