Days were passing like this. She has not confessed yet.

One day, she was adoring his picture while smiling and blushing sitting on her bed. But she had not locked the room. Even after watching him daily, every single thing of him gives her butterflies.

Suddenly her sister geeta busted inside while calling her. Gautami flinched and her phone fell from her hand. Her sister looked at that. Gau hurriedly took the phone and slided it into her pocket trying to hide whatever she was doing.

She thought her sister probably saw her adoring his picture. But surprisingly her sister didn't say anything. That means she saw nothing. Gautami sighed and asked, "w-what happened?"

"Dinner is ready! Come fast otherwise you know maa", her sister said and went from there.

It has been 1 week since that incident.
Gautami was laying on her bed while thinking about Abhyudaya. That's when her mom came inside her room and called her.

Gautami sat properly and asked her mom, "what happened maa?"

"Kal ladke wale ayenge tumhari bahen ko dekhne", her said with a smile

"Oh really? What's the name of the boy? How does he look? What does he do?", she was asking various questions.

"Wait until tomorrow, you will come to know automatically", her mom said smiling and went from there.

Yeah, I know some of you might think that why the younger sister is getting married first? It should be the elder daughter.

Bur let me tell you that it was gautami's wish only. Her mom dad had already told her about this but she denied and said, "No I don't want to get married now. Let geeta marry first"

Gautami was really excited for the next day. So she set her alarm and slept early.

Time skips to next day.....

Gautami got ready in very simple attire and was waiting for her sister to be done. She helped her sister to get ready. After it was completed, she looked at her sister and said with a smile, "pahli baar achhi lag rahi hai kamini"

"Didi yaar, not today atleast", geeta said making a pout.

"Ok mom", gautami said while bowing infront of geeta and let out a giggle. Geeta giggled as well and they hugged each other.

They were talking among each other that's when they heard a horn. They looked from the window once and said, " agaye!"

"Gautami! Geeta ko leke niche aa", their mom shouted

Gautami went with her sister geeta.
But the view was not too pleasing for her. She was frozen for a moment. Her heart stopped beating for a second. She can't believe it.

The person who might be the future husband of ber sister is none other than Abhyudaya, Gautami's first love.

She was just staring at Abhyudaya with moist eyes from a little distance.
Even his eyes were stuck at her.

Gautami's heart ached, her throat was paining. Her free hands turned into tight fists. Her breath hitched.

Gautami can't hold it anymore, she ran to her room, closed the door with a loud noise and hovered over her bed crying her heart out.

'Why god why?' It was the only question roaming in her mind continuously. How can someone be this unlucky in love?

The silk material of the bed was wet by her unstoppable tears. She can't believe what just happened now. She threw a pillow on the floor due to frustration.

She don't know when she drifted into sleep while crying on her fate. It was evening by now, she woke up. Her hairs were messy.

She got up and splashed some water on her face. She sat on her bed and stared at his picture of few minutes then kept it aside and wiped her tears as her sister knocked at her door that she usually doesn't do.

"Come", gautami said and tried to control her emotions by holding a fake smile on her pale face.

Her sister Geeta came inside and asked with concern, "What happened di? Is everything ok?''

Gautami thought for a while and said, "n-no, why do you think that?"

"You didn't come out of your room since 5 hours, you even look tired and pale. What happened di? Don't hide anything from me", geeta said, worry could be seen in her eyes.

"Nothing geeta, I'm fine", gautami said hiding the truth from her.
Geeta passed a smile.

"so what happened there?", Gautami asked

"Um..He is not bad. I mean he is handsome and his behavior was good. I don't have any problem in marrying him.", geeta said looking down due to shyness

Gautami faked a smile.. internally she was broken. She found breathing tough. She controlled her emotions and said, "th-that's a g-good new haha..hm...1 minute haan, I need to go washroom" saying she want to the washroom hurriedly.

She entered the washroom, closed the door, opened the tap and broke down..... her knees hit the ground hard. Tears flowing down her cheeks. Yeah, she couldn't hold her tears anymore. She felt as if someone stabbed her heart with a sharp knife multiple times.

After almost half an hour Geeta knocked at the door of washroom feeling tensed for her didi, "didi? Are you ok? Do you need anything?"

Gautami wiped her tears quickly and splashed water on her face then said, "n-n-no geeta. Um..I'm coming. Give me 5 minutes"

"Um ok di", geeta said and sat on the bed waiting for her didi.

Gautami came out after few minutes and saw Geeta sleeping on her bed.

Gautami went near her and gently caressed her hairs with tears in her own eyes.

"I'm sorry geeta that I lied. But I can't do anything. Your happiness matters the most. From childhood you are my only best friend. I can't snatch your happiness from you like this", gautami murmured as a drop of tear fell from her eyes.
