Opposites Attract

Chapter Nineteen

Shraddha's POV

"Fine." He says.

I leave the room. Soon the Sangeet is over and we all go home.

I go into my room and get changed. As I climb into bed I hear the door open. Mum walks in and sits beside me.

"You okay?" She ask.

"Yeah why?" I ask her.

She looks at me. "I'm your mother Shraddha. I know something's worrying you."

"Mum it's just that I'm going to leave in a few days....I don't think I'm ready to leave mum." I say.

"Every girl goes through this before marriage." Mum says.

"Mum it's not only that.....Mum earlier today....." I tell her everything that happened with Sidharth. "Mum I just don't know what to do!" I cry.

She wipes my eyes. "Shraddha think about what your heart says. I'm not going to tell you what to do. You decide what you want to do. Whatever you decide to do I'll be right by your side." She holds my hand.

"Mum just don't mention this to anyone else. Especially not to Alia, Kriti and papa." I say.

"Don't worry I won't. I'm always her for you. Tomorrow you tell me your decision ok? Now come on it's going to be a long day tomorrow you need all the sleep you can get." She gets up.

"Mum stay. Don't leave me alone please."

She sits back down and I place my head in her lap. This is the best comfort ever. She strokes my head and I soon fall asleep in her lap.

The next day...

Alia's POV

Kriti and I get ready as we have to go to Aditya's house and take some mithai from the bride's side.

"Kriti we need to do something to stop this wedding!" I exclaim.

"Alu relax hopefully we will. I've told Sushant and Varun to come with us to Aditya's house." She says.

"Alia! Kriti! You guys are going to be late!" Katrina shouts from downstairs.

We rush downstairs and get the 2 mithai trays from the living room. We see Shraddha Di sitting in the corner getting her mehndi applied.

Our eyes tear up thinking how Aditya is just using our sister. "Shall we leave?" Varun asks.

I nod and we all leave. Katrina joins us too.

As we get to Aditya's house we see the front door open so we just walk in.

We suddenly hear laughter. I walk closer to the living room and slightly open the door. I see Aditya and his dad drinking and laughing loudly. Aditya's dad holds divorce papers in his hand.

"Guys come here." I whisper.

Varun, Kriti, Katrina and Sushant come and have a look. Varun gets his phone out and starts recording.

"Tomorrow will the the joyous day of our lives! We'll finally have our very own puppet. This whole marriage will be the biggest mistake of her poor little life." Aditya says evilly.

"Idiot!" Katrina says angrily.

"This whole plan you've come up with has made me so proud of you. I can't wait to get my hands on all her money! Once the divorce happens and we take over all her wealth she won't have anything left. She'll do just as we say. Let's drink to our Puppet!"

"Cheers!" They both take a sip of their drink.

I clench my fists in anger.

"We've heard enough lets go." I say.

We all leave and go back home.

"What's the grooms name? I need to write it in your mehndi now that the rest of your mehndi has dried up. The mehndi artist asks.

"There's no need for that!" Kriti states.

"What?"

"Mum, dad, Di follow us." We go into the dining room.

"What's going on girls?" Dad asks.

"Di you can't marry Aditya! He's a monster!" I exclaim.

"Alia what are you talking about?" Mum asks.

"This." I then play the recording.

"See now do you guys believe me?!" I ask.

"This is all true I've heard it with my own ears aswell." Katrina adds.

"It can't be Aditya." Shraddha says.

"Shraddha I know this must be hard for you."

She grabs the phone and looks at the video. You can clearly see Aditya and his dad.

Tears stream down her cheeks.

"Shraddha...."

"So he was using me?! For 4 whole years?! Everything was fake. He just wants my wealth and then he'll treat me like a sla-"

"No! He's gonna pay for this. Luckily we caught him just in time. Shraddha you are not alone you have all of us by your side." Papa hugs her .

She bursts into tears.

"Shraddha stop crying! It's time for Aditya to cry!" I say as an idea struck me.

"My whole life is ruined! No ones going to marry me now."

I smirk because my idea will put a stop to Shraddha's worry. It'll also ruin Aditya at the same time.

"I have an idea so....."

Aditya's been caught! What is Alia's plan? Will everyone agree to it? Will it work?
