||मुझे कभी नहीं पता था कि मेरी जिंदगी अचानक मोड़ लेगी और मुझे इस मोड़ पर खड़ा कर देगी!||

“Nakshatra wake up.” “yes? Ohh, did I dosed off?” “nevermind, I dosed off too! By the way, tell me your address, I gotta leave you home! And don't say no cause your mom has called several times!” “Yeah sure!” I said and I told him my address and in no time, we were in front of my house!!
“Thank you. Thank you Adhwit!” “its okay!”

I went inside the room only to see Maa, Papa and Nupur sitting there. Nupur ran to me, but I shook my head and gestured him to sit there, and Ran to Mihir Bhai's room cause he texted me.
“Bhai.!!!! I missed you...” “missed you too. Kesa h mera baccha!” “very very good!” “kon tha vo?” “kon? The one who dropped me?” I asked and bhai nodded.
“do you think I'll get a boyfriend without telling you bhai?” he nodded with a bit of disappointment. “ seriously  Bhai?” I said and I told him everything about how Adhwit helped me. He smiled.
“ Okay so coming straight to the point, I want you to listen to me calmly! Did you get that?” I nodded “you love your profession?” “More than anything!” “So I want you to sacrifice some of your months for this job?” “sorry?” “before I say something, remember, actually calmly.
Okay so, Papa has fixed your marrige with someone!” “what?? Kyu” “ calmer.” “calmer? You want me to act kind when I am supposed- Forced to live my while life whom I just met a moment ago? No can't live the life that maa lived. I have so many dreams.” “Calmer Nakshatra. Im still not finished yet.” “ I talked to him, he is actually such a nice man, I knew how you would react so I told him that you are against this marrige, see, You want to live your life happily with all freedom, and he wants to find out any truth. So, you both can make a deal and when the deal is over, you both can divorce. I'll talk to Papa!” “but bhai...” I rushed to him and hugged him “you don't trust me?” I just cried harder, just as maa knocked. “ Nakshatra come downstairs, papa wants to talk to you.” “2 minute maa, aa rhai h!” bhai said. “ Nakshatra Compose yourself... Trust me please!!”
I said and went downstairs, just to meet Nupur with a cute sad pout. “ Nakshatra, you are already 23 so, we fixed your marrige. I want you to meet him once.” I nodded “get ready they are here in 15 minutes.” said my father, in his cold tone...

.•~<3!.•~

“Come Nakshtra!!” said bhai.

“Sit here.” “Mohini ji, ye h meri beti, Nakshatra!
Nakshatra, meet him, he's Aditya Awasthi, his bua, Mohini Awasthi and his sister, Anaya Awasthi  I nodded lifelessly.

“ I think you guys need to talk.” said papa and I took him to my balcony.

“Hey, this is Aditya Awasthi, Nupur told me that you don't want to marry, same here. I got to know you have quit different dreams, and I respect them as well, so I will divorce you accordingly. talking about my plan, I'm marrying you because...” “okay! So is it a deal” “hmm!! But we can still enjoy our life no?” I smiled.

“okay so I think they both like each other, so Rishta fix kare Mohini ji?”

ji Praveen ji! But aapko Jo karna h, 2 din me kariye please, Hume Canada nikalna h!”  “2 din, ese kese, itne sare rishtedaro ko bulana h, itne saare rituals karne h, sab arrange karna h kese-?” “Aaap uki chinta bilkul mat kijiye, bas kuch khas mehmano ko bula lijiye, Or rituals ka kya h? Vo koi nahi karta h! To kal sabko invitation de dijiye or parso shadi!!! Dresses sab fixed h, hum aapke ghar bhijva denge!”

“Tumlog pagal wagal ho kya? Are vaha Ghar pe itne saari preparation chal rahi h, shadi h meri kuch ganto me, or tumlog mujhe yaha le aaye!” “ Chill na Nakshatra, humlog andar jaa rahe h, agar tujhe aana h to aa, barna yahi ruk!” “just get lost from here, before I began throwing slippers on you dumbasses” I said rubbing my forehead. Yes, Aaj hi h meri shadi; dusro ke kiye, because mujhe or Aditya ko acche se pata h, kya karna h!
I was sitting on the bench outside the mall, when someone tapped my shoulder, and when I looked around, I found it was Adhwit! “ Adhwit?? Tum yaha-” my words were interrupted by a horn sound. i ran to the car. “upar se nikaloge kya ca-” my words died in my throat when I saw the person. It was Aditya. I chuckled embarrassingly. “ohh Aditya.” “pata nahi tha hone wali biwi itni khatanak hogi!!!” he smiled. “Umm... Adhwit, meet Aditya, my soon-to-be husband!” “hi” “hello” “ab pata chala aunty ne do din phele kyu bulaya tha urgently!” he laughed. “kab h shadi btw?” “Aaj!” “aaj?” he repeated my words, not believing his ears. “actually he needs to go to Canada tomorrow so...” “Accha Nakshatra, me bahar Jaa Raha hu kuch kaam se. Bua maa tumhare ghar me hi h, to agar me late hu tk bata dena!” he said and I  nodded. He sat in his car and started his engine just as I saw a tuck coming in front of his car, and in a moment my world collapsed. Aditya was lying there, blood was flowing from his head. I ran to him, keeping his head on my lap and tapping his cheeks slowly, so that he can open his eyes. I checked his heartbeat it was not audible. “Aditya, Aditya, wake up.!” “excuse me, I'm a doctor,  I called an ambulance they might be coming, but there is no use of it!” said a lady coming in front of me. “Ky-Kyu?” “because there is a lot blood loss, not only from his brain but I think he got injured internally too!” the doctor said, the ambulance came, we went to hospital, but the answer was same. “he's Dead!” I didn't told anyone about it. Only Adhwit know it who was with me all time. I was crying crying and crying. I wasn't knowing what was going around me.

Just as I hear maa's scream “Nakshatra!!!” and I realised that I reached home, Adhwit took me here. “kya hua beta, kyu ro rhai h!” “aunty in sabka time nahi h abhi, paani pilaye use!” “Aditya... Aditya... Aditya!” I was mumbling only one thing, just then nupur  rushed and handed Adhwit a glass of water. He made me drink it. “Adhwit Oberoi!” said papa. “uncle it shouldn't matter to you who am I when your daughter is in such a condition!” “but hua kya, or ye baar baar Aditya Aditya kyu bol rhi h? Kya hua h mere bete ko?” asked Aditya's bua. “Aditya... Aditya... He's- he's”
“he's no more aunty”  Adhwit completed my sentence and gave me another sip of water. “what? No no no, mera beta cannot die no no no!” she said. Everyone was in a great shock. Just then his buaji said. “Anaya, call the media, call the police!” “nahi nahi, esa mat kijiye, meri beti ki jindagi tabha ho jayegi please!” Said papa keeping his headgear in Mohini aunty's feets. “or mere bete ka kya huh?” she said.
“Lo, ban gayi aapki beti Bin Byahi Vidhva” said maasi! and my world collapsed again. I know I live in 21st century but my family is so close minded, Will I not be allowed to do my job, will I not be allowed to meet anyone, will I not not be able to wear colorful cloths, will I-
I will marry her. ” boomed a manly voice. It was A-Adhwit.
“Adhwit ji aap, the greatest  industrialist?” “Uncle aap uthiye vaha se phele to. And moreover, your daughter helped me a lot.” This is what I should say to papa.
I don't know why but bua Ji's tears are looking like glycerine.
