Circumstances of You & Me [C | Y & M] ✔

4 | Welcome to Nayan's world.

Tapping of my foot is in synchronize with my erratic heartbeat. My stomach was in knots whole the time when I was speaking to Nayan. Ton of questions are bombing in my head right now, I'm sure my brain is going to explode any minute. Gosh, why am I even doing this? I let out a shallow breath and glance at him, he is staring keenly at ground. My foot seizes tapping when his eyes lands on me.

For a second, I thought I saw guilt in his eyes but it was soon replaced by his egoistic look.

He is such an arrogant bastard and I'm going to marry him? Oh god. I look down when I feel the vibration of my mobile in my bag. It's my brother, Aaditya. I ignore his call and keep it in silent. I'm doing this for you, Aadi, to fulfil your dreams; don't judge me by my choices. A tear slips past my eye thinking what my family would say about this.

No, no, I shouldn't think about them right now. My decision is made and I can't back away now, I can't let Nayan win over me but... a pain is there in my heart, which is craving for someone.

I knew there was no spark between us like he used to mention always but I still... maybe I didn't love him but I trusted him. I want to call him right now and plea him to take me away from here but I can't, he left me like I betrayed him. How can he think like that? He was the one proposed me, now he was the one left me. I shouldn't have accepted his proposal but.. I did, reject him on his first proposal. I didn't have marriage in my mind back then but he never gave up on me. Later after few days he came to know about the reason behind my rejection so he came forward to help me, I was not a charity thing to accept it but he sounded so sincere about his proposal. I thought about it for a few days and finally agreed for this marriage.

But he said, he loved me, right? Then he should trust me and shouldn't leave my side like this. Why is he not here? My chin trembles thinking about the poor soul of mine. Not poor soul, a lonely soul.

"Akka? (Sister)"

I look up hearing my brother's voice. My frowning face immediately turns into panic thinking about hospital.

"Is Dad okay?" I ask, standing up because his eyes are blood-shot red. He nods and breaths heavily like he is controlling his anger and pain.

"Don't do this, come home." He warns, pointing a finger at me.

I close my eyes in annoyance, "Aadi, decision is made, don't start now." I reply curtly and extend my hand towards Sunny. He seem ashamed somehow and places my yellow thread in my palm.

"I would have slapped you if you were younger than me, Akka. You are elder, don't act like a child; this is marriage. Come home, you will get a good Groom in no time. We are going now, come!" Aadi says, grabbing my arm.

"No, Aa-"

"Bammardi (Brother-in-law)."

I stop protesting when I hear Nayan's voice. My eyes widened realizing that he just referred my brother as 'in-law'.
