The Warrior

Part 14

Aarti examined Mr Oberoi looking at her "Aarti....I want the same promise from you. Please marry Veer." he was about to fold his hands ...

"No Mr Oberoi...please, I am like your Daughter"

Indignantly her eyes gaped at Veer...how can she marry him now. How can she forget he was insolent to her mother...then he asked her to get out of his life? She just hates him.

"Aarti...what are you thinking....I want to see you both marry" Mr Oberoi observed them....

Veer was super infuriated at the whole state of affairs... he wanted to shout at the girl sitting opposite to him...she became her Father's favourite in these months but he detests her appallingly.

She simply fails to understand him, how can she become his life partner. But out of all this he can't see his dad dying in front of him...

"Veer.... Please say something..."

Veer saw his Father's anxious face...

"Yes Dad....I will marry her"

Aarti was getting incensed at the whole situation...she cursed herself for falling in love with this callous man... she wouldn't mind murdering him...how can she marry this ruthless, cruel man who can insult her anywhere.

To hell with his fury she would never let him come closer to her. How can she spent her life with this unemotional man? But then Mr Oberoi was like a Father to her... she wouldn't let anything happen to him. Her one yes can him happy and come back to life.

"Yes Mr Oberoi, I will marry him"

Mr Oberoi was happy and relaxed now.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Aarti was sitting at the table with her Mother and Father...

Sheetal and Kavita were surprised as well to what Mr Oberoi had said and on top of that Aarti agreed to marry in these circumstances.

"But how can Aarti marry him Manmohan?" Rama walked to and fro from one corner to another

"Enough Rama.... Not a word now... didn't you see Mr Oberoi's condition"

Rama looked at Aarti who had no tears in her eyes

"Aarti beta, how could you say yes to this marriage?" Rama caressed Aarti's hair...

"Mom please...I am marrying him only for the sake of that man who loves me as his own daughter."

Rama thought for a while....

"Then go for a contract marriage"

Manmohan angrily watched his wife "Rama, another word and I will leave you"

Aarti thought her Mother is right...when she can't spend the whole life with this man, it's better to stick with a contract marriage. At least she can leave him after one year.

"I think Mom's right Dad"

"But Aarti...."

Aarti didn't listen to Manmohan and asked her Mother to prepare the papers. She knew Veer will happily sign.

Rama at once left to call her lawyer

Sheetal couldn't understand Aarti dilemma...on one end she loved him so much and now she is running away from Veer.... The situation was never expected by any of them.
