THE FORCED MARRIAGE

IT FEELS LIKE I AM THE QUEEN

I was standing in front of the door waiting for Matu didi and Yuvraj Jijo. When the door opened. I saw a family wearing purple colour matching cloths were standing in front of me. And a women looking like her age may be 57 years was holding a thali of arti. She came towards me and did my arti. She suddenly said to me before ei could say anything
'Welcome to the Malik Mansion daughter-in-law.'
I was shocked. That I did not have anything to say but I gathered up courage and was about to say when I heard my mom's voice.
'Shivani you have done arti to the wrong person.'
'What?'
'Yes.'
'So she is not Darshana ?'
'No.'
'Then where is Darshana?'
'That I don't know. She is not Darshana I can assure you.'
'Then who is she?'
'She is the eldest daughter of the Chatterjee family and my daughter Roshni.'
'Oh! So she is your daughter.'
'Yes.'
'Okay. So beta can you tell me where is Darshana?'
I was about to say something when a heavy and cold voice beside me replied
'She is with Yuvraj in the washroom to fix her makeup.'
'Oh! Then we need to wait for her.'
I looked towards him he was that guy with whom my eyes meet in the airport. I was not able to recognise him. But my brain was telling me I knew him. I have seen him. But where I don't know.

We were waiting for Matu didi and Jijo to arrive quickly. We is not applicable over here. Because for me waiting for her was not a problem but thinking what happened just now was a harrassing for me and also for my mom. Because for her as all know pride is more than anything. I knew she would be angry on me for this misunderstanding.

I was standing and looking towards her and thinking about what gone happen at that time Matu didi and Jijoo was coming from the garden way. Seeing them I was relaxed. Matu didi came towards me and said
'Rim did you manage everything?'
'I...'

'I have told everyone that you went to the washroom with Yuvraj.'
'Thank You so much.'
'Hmm.'

'I was also about to say the same to aunty.'
'It's okay. The topic was same right. In your place Shiv said it.'
'Shiv? Is this person's name is Shiv? But we call Mahadev as Shiv? Then why is Matu didi calling him Shiv?'

'Welcome Darshana bahu. To the Malik Mansion.'
'Thank you Mom.'
'At first we mistook your sister to be you as our bahu. Sorry for that.'
'Oh! No no that's not a matter.'
'Enter to our house with you blessed feet.'
'Yes Mom.'
Matu didi entered the house so as we did following her. The house was really big and gorgeous. Every particular thing was made up of royal furnishing. They were really expensive.

I was roaming around the house when Pritha di poked from behind. She was wearing a blue colour stylish elegant and luxurious saree with blouse of sleeveless. She had made a bun. She was also wearing jhumka and necklace with blue bangles.
