Accidental marriage

Chapter 17

Randhir's pov
I used to hate sanyukta because she never let me be the best . In school If I got first position in the class she also had to get the same marks and share my position with me. Then when we got to college this feeling of hate and competition did not go away it just grew, in college also we were the best but could never beat each other . Then came office there somewhat this feeling of hate went away and I started to accept the fact that I will have to work with sanyukta my whole life , still every now and then we used to have our childish fights as no matter how hard we tried we could never agree on anything and thus never work with eachother even on a single project . Our dad's were always worried that if we can not work on a single project how will we handle the company together . But today something happened which shocked everyone it even shocked me as I asked sanyukta to work with me on the project that I worked so hard to win from her. I never thought that I would myself suggest to share such an important project with sanyukta . But when her dadi suggested that instead of sanyukta that vihaan should become the co chairman with me I just got angry. I mean yes if she would have made this suggestion some years back I would have been happy as I wouldn't have to work with sanyukta but now I have accepted the fact that I have to work with her only . And also no matter what even I know that she is way more deserving than vihaan. And thus I hated dadi's idea of handling the company with such an undeserving person. So when uncle said that it would never happen I was somewhat normal again. When sanyukta agreed to give the project I was surprised then I realised she did that so that there is not a fight like last time to spoil the engagement. Ya I know I hated her and even now we are not even close to being civilised with eachother but somehow I understand why she does everything as I have been competing with her my whole life. And then I saw that smirk on Vihaan's face and I don't know what happened to me but I just had to do something as what sanyukta did was for my engagement even if she did it basically for her sister. So I did the first thing that came to my mind and told everyone that me and sanyukta will work the project together . Everybody was surprised even sanyukta , I myself was surprised but I did that just to prove that sanyukta was way more deserving than that vihaan I don't know why it bothered me but I just had to prove it to him and dadi.
Then I saw my dad and uncle smile weirdly which sanyukta also noticed but we did not understand the meaning of that smile and then I saw sanyukta just looking at me as if trying to read my mind as to why I stood by her today. But I just said to her " don't stare at me like that so that I regret doing what I did just know" and as soon as I finished she started looking here and there to avoid me .
My dad came forward and said " we can discuss this later but know me and Arjun have important announcement which we are gonna make tomorrow in the party which a few people already know over here but some don't so the announcement is that after three days Randhir and Vanya are getting engaged." And again everyone got so excited like the last time. Vanya's Bua just went to her and hugged her and said " I am happy vannu that u getting married this is best news I could ask for. Always be happy". Then my Bua came to me I touched her feet ,took her blessings and she said " Randhir I am so happy that u are getting settled in life. I wish u get all the happiness in the world and whatever u wish for in life u get it."
" We should all have dinner and then take some rest as we all have a very big day tomorrow" vanya's mom said and then we all had our food and it was time to leave I was just going when sanyukta came to me said " Randhir can I speak to you for a minute" I just nodded and we went a little bit away from everyone to talk and then she said " thank you for standing up for me I know what you did was not because u started to consider me as a friend or something and I even don't know why you did what you did but thank you very much". And she started to leave but I said something which made her stop and she looked at me and said " what" I went to her and repeated " I did that because you are way more deserving than vihaan and you might not be my favourite person in world actually you are not even close to any relation for me but yes even I know that you deserve the post you are at today so that's why I stood up for you and also I know what you did was for my engagement so I had to do something". With that I  just left ,then I went to Vanya said bye to her and kissed her forehead and told her that I will pick her up tomorrow for the party and I gave one last look to sanyukta and found still standing there and just trying to digest  that I acknowledge the fact that she deserves what she has achieved in her life.
