Stoic, handsome and ruthless businessman, Siddharth Chauhan has been cursed with a past he cannot escape.
"Sell the lake house and marry within 2 years" A single clause threatens everything he has worked hard to achieve. What will he do when he is...
Iwake up with a jerk. I look around in the darkness to find my clock showing 4am . Oh god, the same nightmare every single time. I get up and make my way towards my door, to make sure it is locked. A sigh of relief leaves my body. I slide down my door and hold my folded knees. He is not here, he can't harm me anymore.
Its 5:15 when I finally gather the courage to stand up and go to the washroom to freshen up. I make my way down stairs to find my cousin sister Radhika , her shoulder slumped and staring at her phone.
"Good morning, Radha" I say as I walk into the kitchen to make my coffee.
After 5 mins of silence, "Good morning, anni" she says in a small voice.
It has me worried as I look up from my cup with a frown.
"Is everything okay di?"
"Yesterday a family came with proposal for my marriage, they were asking for dowry so maa and baba said no" She said with a sigh.
This was the 6th proposal that had been rejected.
"I am 28 years old already, and still not married. will I ever be able to marry?" the last part left with a wobbly smile. Which had me putting my cup down and make my way towards her.
"Don't worry di you will find someone who was made for you ,when the right time arrives." I say as I hug her.
"I really liked him you know?" She said.
I felt bad for her at the moment. Sometimes I feel like all of this is because of me. Would it be different if I hadn't asked for the money to join my classes that cost a lot more money than my uncle could afford.
But it has always been my dream to open my own architecture company and help people make homes that they can live happily in. It was also my parents dream before they passed away, to make our own home with our own ideas and designs.
"Maybe he wasn't the one di. Believe in god, there is a reason why everything happens." Do I even believe what I just said.
Radhika just hugged me tighter in response and I just held her understanding she needed someone right now.
I swore to help her any way I possibly could.
Its 9 am and I am running late to work . I work with Purabh Chowdhary my partner in the firm, my friend and also my ex-boyfriend. Our relationship didn't really last that long when we both realised the we are better of as friends. I met him in collage and our thoughts and dreams were the same. He wanted to start this company because both his parents worked in the same industry but they wanted him to make his own journey to the top. And seeing as ambitious as he is it won't be long.
