Meant to be yours

Riya Singhania

Payal's POV:

" Mam, We're going to shoot the wedding scene tomorrow. The set has been ready so as the Junior artists. I I spoke with your costume designer and your lehenga is also ready. " Gaurav Kapur, the director of my new movie with Riya Singhania said in a hurry while standing nervously.
" Here, first drink this. " I offered him a water bottle from the fridge as I sat down on the couch. He took the seat opposite of me.
" Why are you nervous? " I asked him as I sat next to him. I took his hands into mine and waited for him to speak. He looked here and there then abruptly stood up hearing a voice.
" Oh good. Gaurav, you're also here. " Riya came in while looking at him. He gulped at her and then looked back at me.
" Riya, I am telling her about the scene tomorrow. " He said as she glared at him. She was staring at our intertwined hands causing me to take my hand back.
" Oh. I don't remember when you started to describe scenes before itself that too to the extent of going to artist's house. " She told in a cold tone.
" I am leaving, Payal. " With that being said, he took off.
" You don't have to be harsh on him He's just " Before I could even complete my sentence, she had pinned on the wall, her nostrils flaring as if smoke might come out anytime. Her face too close to mine as she started to lean in.
Flashes of my bitter past with Anshul came into my mind. I panicked and angrily pushed her off me. She was breathing heavily as if she's trying to control her anger. For a moment, I saw her hurt but soon she masked it with her fake smirk.
The one who should be angry has to be me. She invaded my personal space . I didn't mean to push her off. But then it happened .

Riya's POV:

Payal pushed me away from her. She has rejected my closeness. As a matter of fact, she was disgusted by me. That's why she pushed me. It hurts me. I don't know why but to this date, the one who can make me cry and bring me on my knees is her.
She's my one and only love. The one who I hate with all my being after what she did to me. She ruined my teenage years. Why did she insult me so much? What did I even do to her?
Her behavior made me more mad at her and I will make sure she pay for what she said. I composed myself and curse myself for that moment of weakness.
" I am I am sorry, Riya. I really am. I didn't meant to. " She stammered as she tried to explain.
" It's ok. I get it. Still haven't changed a bit . Didn't you? " I asked her with a sarcastic smile.
" No. Not like that. I was wrong . I sincerely apologize for what I did. But it was not entirely my " I stopped her abruptly as it brought the bad memories of my heart mercilessly crushed by this very woman.
" Tomorrow, be on the set sharp at 4 pm. " With that I walked out, not waiting for her response.
As I was driving aimlessly, mt mobile began to ring. Anamika. I sighed as I attend the call after I put it over the bluetooth speakers since I was driving.

Anamika's POV:

Ishi and me are somewhat on good terms. After I left her hanging, I thought she might hit back at me. But sadly, nothing of that sorts happened.
What to say! My own wife don't give a damn about me. She's acting like an obedient kid , taking her medicine on time and resting well.
As for those bullies, I took care of them. I severe ties with Wilson companies and expelled her from college.
" Mam, sub registrar is here to see you. " Security guard informed me over the phone.
" Anamika ji, shall I go to my old house tomorrow? " Ishi came inside my office.
" Not now, Ishi. We will tall about this at night . I am expecting someone now. " Before I could finish, she pout and sat on the chair .
" Madam" A knock made her look up.
" See,. Anyways, this is Mr. Chandela, sub regiatrar of our area. Very nice person. Hm. This is my wife Ishi. Of course you knew as you were the one who registered our marriage. " I introduced Ishi to him.
She greeted him and went out leaving us alone.
" Madam, just today I noticed that Riya Singhania has applied for registering her marriage. It's legally binding as she followed all the norms. I can't do anything. I want to let you know incase you might not be aware of this. " He said as I look at him in shock.
" What? Are you sure? "
" Yes mam. What's more shocking is that who her spouse is going to be? "
" Who is that girl? " I asked as I am aware of her preferences.
" Payal Khanna. "
" Payal as in " I looked at him for my worst nightmare to not be true. Anyone but her.
" The famous actress. " He said lowly as if someone might hear him.
" Ok. I will take care. " I send him off as I started to call Riya.

After a while,
" Riya, I want you here at my house as soon as possible. " I said as soon as she attended her mobile.
" I am on my way. " With that being said, she hung up. She's unbelievable. She may be my sister but she's not going to get away with what she's planning to do.
" Ahh! " I hear Ishi scream like anything. I ran all the way from the stairs to the living room. I stopped dead on my tracks when I saw Ishi hugging Riya happily squealing like a kid.
" What's happening here? " I asked her as  I stood before them with my hands folded .
" Anamika ji. It's Riya. The Riya singhania. My favorite pop singer. " Apparently everyone else is your favorite other than me, I rolled my eyes as I pulled my enthusiastic wife back.
" Someone is jealous " Rita teased me. Of course I am jealous not that I am going to admit it.
" You wish. "
" You know what. I am very angry with you. Why didn't you let me know about your marriage? " Riya asked me.
" I tried to contact you. But you're on a cruise ship with your mobile switched off. " I explained.
" I knew you are here for a month now. But still you don't find time to visit me. " I accused her. Ishi looked at her angrily.
" Your sister is far better than you. " She huffed.
" I am sorry, Ishu. I am your favorite na. Please forgive me. I was busy" She hugged her.
" Welcome home! " I said as I hugged her.
" You can welcome me grandly tomorrow night, you know " She winked at Ishi who blushed at her action.
" Ishi, go and get us something for us to drink. " I send her away.
" Whoa, wait " Riya said as I dragged her to the terrace.
" Stop doing it, Riya. It's not right." I told her.
" You know that I won't listen. So, Anything else. You're in no position to stop me.  I always get what I wants."
" You are playing some games with Payal. There is no way she would have agreed to marry you. So, stop it. " I told her sternly.
" Your bestie deserves everything I will do to her. She accused me of trying to molest her. " Riya yelled at me.
" I knew. But this is not the way. Don't ruin your life, Riya. " I tried to talk sense.
" No. I am going to destroy her. Tomorrow, it begins. " Riya stopped as we saw Ishi came towards us with two cans of beer.
I glared at her.
" What? Shanti didi said that you both drink this one whenever you meets. " She said innocently.
" Anu, you got a rare piece yaar. Too bad she's gonna hate me once she finds out. " Riya murmurs as she took a sip. I was wondering what she's talking about until Ishi reveals it to me.
" Anamika ji. Riya offered me to take me with her to her shooting tomorrow. It seems they're shooting wedding scene. Payu will be there. I want to go. Shall I go? "
I didn't say anything as I looked at Riya who is smirking at me. She knew I won't rat her out.
" Anu, actually agreed to take you before you came back. " Riya replied for me.
" Thanks Anamika ji. " Ishi hugged and kissed me in the cheek. She then ran off. Probably to let Payal know.
" God, what the hell? Why did you drag me in this? If Ishi finds out, she will hate me forever ." I said as I don't want to go through that girl's hate . I can't bear it though I don't admit it.
" Oh my god! Don't tell me, you're scared of your little wife? " Riya teased me causing me to roll my eyes.
" Let's see what happens to you after Payal get to know about your so called revenge plan. For your well being, let me inform you that woman is a martial arts expert like me. In fact the only one who came close to beating me. So, best of luck. " I mocked her as I walked from there to find Ishi.

" You dare to give beers to Ishi. What the hell you're thinking? Are you out of your mind? What will she think of me? " I shouted at Shanti  after finding Ishi is asleep.
" Mam, I didn't do anything. She asked me what you both will drink usually at this time, I answered truthfully. I didn't know that she will bring it to you. I am sorry, mam" Shanti blabbered causing Riya to laugh.
" Wow. How considerate your wife is! " She then turned towards Shanti and said " Make my room ready. I am moving in from tomorrow. "
" Are you for real? You won't let me at peace. Didn't you? " I shouted at her back as she walks off  . But inside, I am happy she's coming back. She's been staying away from everyone and everything since her eighteenth birthday.
