chapter 50 SOME INDIVIDUALS NEVER CHANGE

Author's pov:

Siya and Ashish stepped outside into a tranquil area, where Siya gently reassured her brother and inquired softly about what had transpired inside.

"Didi, that man is so rude that he brought me here from Chandigarh". Ashish, with a tone laced with venom and simmering anger, informed Siya.

"What were you doing in Chandigarh? Papa had asked you to go to Kolkata, right?" Siya, maintaining her calm demeanor, gently inquired Ashish with a hint of confusion about his presence in Chandigarh, despite having been instructed to remain in Kolkata.

"I- I was in Kolkata but I thought he would find out my location immediately so I changed my plan at the last moment". Upon hearing her words, Ashish collected himself and responded, all the while quivering as if concealing something.

"How did he find that location? We don't have any relatives in Kolkata, we only had your college friends, so how did he find out? You changed your location and dug a hole for yourself Ashish". Siya was perplexed by his statement and decided to leave it, as she believed he had been alarmed by Aagnay's intimidating presence. She subsequently gathered her composure and confronted his brother regarding the change in location.

"It is not about my reaching Chandigarh, Didi, after coming here I came to know that that person is marrying you forcibly, so I started talking to him about this, the matter escalated and hands started flying, and he slapped me... bastard, what can be expected from such arrogant people".
Ashish expressed his anger, his eyes ablaze with a fervor that left Siya perplexed.

"Ashish, I am explaining to you, listen to me very carefully, do not do anything to come in the sight of that person, give up the hope of stopping this marriage, if he finds your activity even a little suspicious, that person is dangerous, he will not even care about the relationship, please Ashish, let whatever is happening happen, you stay safe, you have a lot to do in your life, leave everything else, take care of yourself and our parents". Siya closes her eyes and requests Ashish to abstain from this topic.

"But Di, when you are not happy then how can you get married, it is your own life, why would you keep this burdensome relationship for the rest of your life?". Ashish got up and asked Siya, as it is unbelievable for him to see her warrior sister who turned into a silent one.

"Ashish, are you not able to understand ? by now you should know that I cannot run away from him, no matter where I go, he will always find me and, ab main bhagte bhagte thak chuki hu". Her voice dropped to a low, desperate tone as she pleaded Ashish to leave the matter alone. Her words carried a weight of urgency and vulnerability, revealing just how deeply the issue troubled her.

"Believe me di, your brother will not let you sacrifice your life". Ashish silently expresses a strong determination or quiet hatred, it's like he's making a firm vow to himself.

"Ashish, don't pay attention to these things, I am saying this for your and our good, please, if something happens to you, I will not be able to forgive myself." A single tear slid down Siya's cheek as she pleaded with Ashish, her voice trembling with desperation.

"Everything will happen when the time comes, he is not so lucky that things always happens according to his wishes". Ashish whispered something under his breath, the words too faint to be heard.

"apne mann ka karne ke liye kismat ka dhani hona zaroori nahi hota Beta...logo ki behisaabi unse karwa hi deti hain". Anil ji said as he approached from behind.

"It's quite late, both of you should take rest, there's a lot to do tomorrow".

"Are you okay, papa? Why do you seem so upset? Anything happened?". She perceives a distinct quality in his tone, one that is laden with pain and hurt, as he gazes at his son. Siya inquired to her father whether he was feeling alright.
