Aaransh POV:

It was the day......

I would get married today. It was the day and here I am, in my room. I didn't even get time to ask her again if she's sure about this. It won't be enough even if I ask 100 times as she was the one leaving her everything behind. I will be the same but with a girl roaming around in my room. But I can adjust that much.

The time flew away so fast that i didn't understand how we met for the first time and the finalized dates to the wedding day, everything was blur.

The rituals, the people, everything was so fast. And today, she will be my wife.

I have been in my room since morning.... As I don't want to face anyone right now. I wanted to be left alone. I was ready for this but I am also not.

"Coward" my inner self said. I know that...but I can't help it. It's a very big decision.

I sat there for..... don't know how much time. I just want to run away now. But I can't.

The house was... literally filled with servants going here and there. My mom and dadi are like on the 9th cloud. My monkeys planning things, dad busy with guests. Dadu....I don't know...he's happy, very happy that i have never seen him like this even when I graduated or I started working in the company.

The only thing I am happy about is my family's happiness which matters most. And her......

"Akshara, I hope you are sure about this."

I thought.

I looked at my room which was slightly changed. New sheets and neutral curtains. Flowers.

I walked to the closest as I saw the whole empty area for her. Till now the closet just had my clothes, shoes, my perfume collection and some empty shelves. But now there was another whole area opposite to mine.

I opened the glass door of her closet. I caressed the lavender saree which was on top. There were a lot of saree and some outfits arranged by my mom.

She is going to be loved.....by my family. They already like her...and the proof was my mom keeping the whole new wardrobe ready for her.

I took the box that was kept on the couch and kept it on the shelf beside her sarees. I closed the door and was going to the washroom when I heard knock.

I opened the door and saw my mom  standing there with papa holding my outfit on a plate with some other things. I let them come inside as we sat on the couch.

"Maa" I said. My insecurity, conflict...problem....the solution was my mom.

She caressed my hair as her face as if she knew everything that was going inside me.

"Aaransh, apko pata hai....jab aap paida hue the naa, tab hume laga ki hum complete hogaye. As if...Jo Khali jagah baki thi woh bhar gayi. And Aaj aap apne life ka subse bada step lene Jaa raho ho. I know bohot sare self doubts honge....but hum hai naa? Life ke har ek step mein hum rahenge. Apne apko kum mat samajhna.....and agar aap akshara ke vajah se unsure hai? Toh chinta mat kijiye Aaransh. Hum par bharosa rakhiye, woh ladki apki life ki subse badi right choice hogi you know. Just iss decision ko trust kijiye and ek chance dijiye, kudko and akshara ko. She will always be there for you."

"Aaransh, you know...when you were born, i felt as if I was completed. The empty space which was there was filled. And now you are going to take the biggest step of your life. I know there will be a lot of self doubts....but we are here right? We'll be there in every step. Don't think low about yourself...and if you are unsure about akshara? Then don't worry. Just trust us, That girl will be your biggest right choice in your life. Just trust your decision and give a chance, to you and to akshara. She will always be there for you."
