Business man's Forced Love

41. Best friend

A house was decorated like a bride and there was a festive atmosphere all around. The little kids were dancing merrily to the beats of the song. There were few lady who were gossiping.

Why they are marrying her so soon? I heard that the girl was still studying. - A lady said.

I don't know. But it is a good thing, girl should get married early.  - Other lady said.

I think the girl's behavior is not right. You must know what happened with her friend. A Delhi businessman had married her forcibly. That too at gunpoint. - One more lady share her point of view.

I think she might have put a spell on that businessman. - The first one added.

You are right Aunty. My friend herself had said that Kabir had shot her father and she had even committed suicide. It is a good thing that she was successful in her mission. -  A voice came from behind catching their attention. They all become embarrassed. Anjali gave them a smug smile.

No beta it's not what you are thinking. - A lady tried to revert the topic.

You what aunty. My brother in law is very powerful person if got to know that you were talking ill about his wife then god  knows what he will do. - Meena said smiling all ladies were frightened after listening her.

No beta, please don't tell this to your brother in law. We are just joking. Well, let's go, if there is any work to be done let's do that. -  one of then said and leave with all of them.

Meena and Anjali laugh at them. -  Serve them right. Meena said.

Have you seen their face they were about to cry.- Anjali said they both laugh again.

How nice would have been if Akta was here too. I am missing her. -  Anjali said.

Me too. Let's just hope it ends quickly so we can go Delhi back. - Meena said.

Anjali, Meena where are you children come here quickly.There is a lot of work left. - Meena's mother called both of them.

So it's mean they are here in Lucknow for their friend's wedding.

Yes, mamma you called us. - Meena asked to her mom.

You two go see if bride is ready. Barat already left for here. - Meena's mother said to them.

They were about to go in brides room.somebody call them - Hey Anjali have you seen Shreya? I want to meet her. - it was none other than Akta's college friend Shivani.

Yup, come with us. - Anjali said and Shivani join them.

It's been months we have not seen each other. How have you been?  - Shivani asked.

We are fine. - Meena said with no emotions as she is unable to share how have they been in these months.

What about Akta ? - Shivani asked again. Anjali stop at her track and look at shivani.

You already know how she was forced to do marriage and now she is living with the same man. How can she be? Not good. She is just living. - Anjali said and Shivani hang her head low.

Let's go. - Anjali said and walk forward.

They all stood in front of a door and knocked on the door.a girl opened the door She was wearing a red lehenga

Come inside.  - The girl said.

They all were still standing there in shock. They were amazed with her bridal look. Tears slipped from Anjali's eyes.

What happened why are you emotional. - The girl asked.

Anjali who was standing like statue runs towards the girl and hugs her. She started crying bitterly.

I wish we were not in this situation. I wish I could dance freely at your wedding. I wish Akta was also among us. She would be so happy to see you like this. Why do we have to do your wedding secretly? Why can't we celebrate it openly? Why did Sameer and Kabir come into our life? why Shreya why? my damm is shaking They pretend that everything is fine. Nothing is right in our life. Both my friends are in a worse situation and I can't do anything. - Anjali was crying shouting while hugging her friend Shreya. Meena and Shivani hell emotional after listening Anjali's words.
Shreya was pating Anjali's back tears flowing from her eyes.

It's ok. Everything will be fine. - Shreya said breaking the hug.

But....... - Anjali was trying to say more.

No but, it is my wedding. Don't spoil it From your ugly crying. - Shreya said smiling and wiping Anjali's tears.

Why you both are standing there come here. ,- Shreya said and they both hig her.

For every body it was very heartbreaking. But they know they have to do it as they have planned.

After spending some time with eachother they went back saying they will come after half an hour to take her to mandap.
The wedding was taking place in the lawn of some village. Very few guests were invited. This entire plan was made together by Akta and her friends  parents.

After marriage, it was also planned where to send Shreya and her husband and that would be a safe place.

Shreya was sitting infront of the mirror fixing her makeup which was wiped because of her crying. She was too busy in fixing her make up that she was unaware somebody was present in her looking at her with intense gaze.

You are looking fire today. - A deep voice came from behind. She didn't looked back because she recognised the voice. She looked at her hand which were shaking from fear. She slowly put down the brush she was holding and picked up the bun pin.

What happened you don't want to face me. -  Sameer asked folding his hands.

W...what are you doing here? - Shreya could not help but shutter.

Ofcourse came to meet my best friend Angel. -  Sameer said in sweet tone.

Ok, then you have met. Now you can go. - Shreya stand from walk towards the door. 
With a reflect Sameer caught her hand and close the door.
Shreya's eyes widen in shock as she was pressed between Sameer and the door.
