AUTHOR'S POV
Everyone was dancing in the procession. Aditya had joined them while Mrs. Roy was standing at the gate waiting to welcome the groom.
Aarya had stayed back with Tani while everyone else was there at the gate.
T- Aru? You won't go?
Ar- Nope.. If everyone goes who will stay with you?
Tani nods in understanding.
T- BTW, what were you talking to Adi about?
Ar(stiffens) - Nothing.. Just hospital stuff.. He is the one who got the contract for hospital.. So indirectly he is my boss.
T- ohhh.. Neel was talking about the project, it is a very important project for them.
Aarya nods but diverts the conversation as she dos not want to think about Aditya.
Ar- How did you meet him? It is an arranged or love marriage?
T - Arranged.. (Smiles)
Ar- you are happy?
T- Of course I am.. We just meet during family functions, after our marriage was arranged we met twice, we mostly used to text each other...
Ar- You love him? ( skeptical)
T- How can I love someone i don't even know properly?(sighs) I definitely like him.. But love takes time.. And he is the kind of person I would like to give time ..
Ar- I am so happy for you. (Smiles)
T- Don't forget our deal.. You have to meet me after the wedding. (Raises her eyebrow)
Ar(rolls eyes) - As if you will let me forget about it..
Dia and Shreya Boudi enter the space..
Behind her Ananya(ar, i and N's mom) and Bristi (Adi and Shiv's mom)
D- Aru.. You can go and give the gift to Neel.. Everyone is there..
Bristi stands their shocked seeing her.. Ananya signals her she will talk about it later.
Sb- First meet them, Neel's mom and Adi's mom...
Aarya smiles at them and touch their feet as an act of showing respect..
Her eyes are moist due to nostalgia..
She remembered all the memories of them shopping, cooking and gossiping together.. Though she was more close to her brothers but her mother also gave her a fair share of time whenever she could.
And Bristi, her mother in law was more like her friend with whom she talked for hours both complaining and complimenting her brothers..
But everything changed after the incident.
She never misbehaved with her but neither did she try to connect with her.
She understood everyone was trying to cope up with the situation.. But it hurt..
She felt alone and lonely in that house, if not for Shiv she would have actually gone mad with the silent treatment she was receiving.
