● DIYA

I was in Siddhants' house talking to his grandparents when Geetanjali aunty asked me to call Raghav and Siddhant from the study as anu was engaged in a call. I went upstairs to the third room as aunty said the door was not completely closed so I could hear them talk. I heard Siddhant's voice as he was talking about avoiding me to break off our marriage because of his trust issues. He was talking about his Ravi mamu well I know him because he used to visit Siddhants' house a lot of time when we were neighbours. Looks like he got some connection with Siddhants' trust issues.
I thought I shouldn't eavesdrop their conversation so I knocked on the door and called them for dinner.

During the dinner I was thinking about what I heard in the study its not that I am in hurry to marry him but I knew since I was a kid that I was supposed to marry him it was no secret for both of us. Not that my parents would force me but since I was not involved with anyone and didn't have a boyfriend I would have to marry him now or later. I never opposed marriage.Though I took our arrangement as joke deep down I knew our parents were serious. So I just took it as a normal arrange marriage and asked for some time to my parents because I didn't want to marry someone I just met even if we knew each other as kids but people change and my parents agreed with me.And knowing that Siddhant wants to call off the marriage was quite a shock to me and his idea to ignore me so that his parents think we were not compatible for each other was weird I believe. Thinking all this and engaging in some small talks with his grandparents I had my dinner and afterwards he dropped me to my house.
Well it's not that he is the love of my life and my life will be meaningless if he is calls off the wedding and even if his idea fails  and we get married I will put in my efforts and fulfill my duties as a wife so it didn't matter much thus I  decided to just move with the flow though my mind kept on reminding that it was same as being dumped but I knew better that it was because of his trust issues not me. I can't question my worth because of someones  trust issues I am confident enough in myself. Thinking all this I drifted to sleep.

It's been almost a month since the dinner and everything is going good except for the part where my parents bring out the topic of my marriage in every normal conversation.I am now in the meeting room with the client for our next project and the meeting is about to end by now. After 10 minutes it's finally over. I got out of the meeting room after Siddhant and then went to the washroom. As I was moving to my cabin from the washroom my phone rang. It was a call from anusuya. I picked the call and anusuya informed me about something unexpected. I quickly hung up the call and went to Siddhants' office. I entered without knocking and Siddhant gave me a "what??"look
"You know you should knock before you enter the office right Diya"he said facing me. Well I don't have time for his gyan right now.
"I got a call from anusuya your phone was switched off so she called me she said dadaji is in hospital" I  hurriedly explained he got up from his seat and asked "What happened is he ok? Which hospital is he in??"
"Anu said he had a heart attack she has messaged you the hospital address " I said as we walked towards the lift

We reached the hospital in almost 10 minutes as Siddhant was driving in the speed of light. Siddhant was talking to the doctor. It turned out dadaji was in his room with raghav when he had a attack thanks to raghav that he quickly brought him hospital as uncle aunty were in temple and anusuya was in her college. When we reached dadaji was already out of danger and raghav was with him in the hospital room. After talking to the doctor Siddhant was about to enter the room when he stopped in his way holding the door handle only after few seconds he entered inside and  well he looked angry. Did something happened?

I went towards uncle aunty and tried to console them I saw as anusuya was coming with water in her hands with teary eyes I gave water to uncle aunty and suddenly anusuya hugged me she looked sacred. I can understand her afterall I lost both my grandparents and even the thought that they will leave us is scary. After almost fifteen minutes Siddhant came out of the room. He talked to his parents and anusuya for a while then looked at me and signalled me to walk with him and opened the car door for me.

"Is everything alright?"I asked concerned and he looked worried. "No it's not"he replied helplessly. "Is there any problem in dadjis' report? Is there any danger?"I questioned him. "No its' nothing like that he is fine now."he answered. "Then is something else bothering you?"I inquired again I guess I am too curious."You don't need to tell me if it's personal" I wishpered under my breath. "No it's something you should know"he said "Are we going to office?" I asked again. "Yes but I need to tell you something first"he said and started the car. "Don't you think you should stay with dadaji now he just had a attack and you don't have any other important meeting scheduled for today, I can handle the remaining work. If there is any problem I will call you." I suggested.
"No I don't think I need to stay here"he answered blankly.
"But dadaji-"
"Nahi aaye hai unhe heart attack"he interrupted me. I hate when people do that can't he just wait for me to complete my sentence and then say that dadji didn't had a attack WAIT what!!!
"What did you just say??"I asked to confirm what I just heard. "Dadu ko koi attack nahi aaya hai" he confirmed 
"WHAT?? Fir yeh hospital aur yeh sab kya tha?" I asked in a single breath.
"I will tell you in the office"he said as he parked the car in the office parking. What the hell is happening here this is all so confusing!!! I mentally spoke.
