"Ro rahe ho?"

"Nahi to..."

"To aapke ankhon mein aansu....."

"Shayad aankh mein kuch chala gaya." Shivay said with a smile while wiping his misty eyes as he saw his sister, Gauri, decked up beautifully for her ring ceremony.

"Kaisi lag rahi hnu main?" Gauri asked her brother, widening her hazel doe-eyes.

"Beautiful!" Shivay said caressing her cheeks, "ekdum  pari jaisi."

She frowned. "Jabse paida hui hnu, tabse aaj pehli baar tarif ki hai aapne." She said with an angry expression.

"Because I was a fool." Shivay replied trying hard to control his tears, "akal tab aayi, jab tu kisi aur ki hone ja rahi hai."

As soon his words entered her ears, a sheen stream of tears penetrated from her eyes and she flunged her arm breaking down while hugging his brother. Shivay too broke his vow of not letting his tears flow, and hugged her back.

"Gauri, are you ready?" Anika asked while entering the room, to see both the brother-sister crying bitterly.

"Shivay!" Anika shouted after wiping her tears, "maine kaha tha na, ki meri chutki ko mat rulana?Dekho, pura make up kharab kar diya uska."

"Aur tum...why are you crying? Don't worry, Omkara will take care of you like a princess. And if he will make you sad, just tell me. Apni chameli se aisa marungi ki apne ghar ke deewar pe sat jaega." She said, making both shivay and gauri giggle.

"You won't have too do this..Omkara will take care of our Chutki very well."Shivay said, while Gauri just smiled sadly.

"O...Mere bhai!!!" Rudra wailed loudly, stopping Omkara who was entering his room to get ready.

"What?" Omkara asked.

"See, today is your ring ceremony, right?"  Rudra asked.

"Yeah!" He replied, confused.

"It means you still have time to think if you really want to do this marriage." Rudra said, putting his both hands on his shoulders.

"You just tell me one thing, why don't you want me to do this marriage?" Omkara asked, crossing his arms against his chest.

"Kyunki bhagwan ne mujhe bas ek hi bhai diya hai...Agar woh bhai bhi shaadi ke baad paraya dhan ban gaya, to main jinda kaise rahunga?" Rudra asked dramatically.

"Just shut up!" Omkara snapped.

"Okay! Okay! Jokes apart... Just tell me the truth." Rudra said.

"What truth?" Omkara asked.

"Why you agreed for this marriage? Wasn't it you who said you won't marry ever in this life?"

"See...That girl is Shivay's sister.." Omkara replied.

"So?"

"So I simply didn't know how to refuse him...And..."

"Om!!!" Jhanvi shouted,seeing the two brothers chattering from far, "you haven't got ready yet? We'll get late."

"Yeah Mom...I was just going." He answered back to her and turned to Rudra , "So, Mr Dumb, now I have to get ready. So kindly give me some privacy..." And without waiting for reply, he shutted the door with a bang.

He, with a sigh, went to the wardrobe and took out the outfit for the ceremony. He knew Rudra was right. In the childhood only, seeing the bitter relation between their parents made him hate the word 'marriage'. Of course, their relations sweetened with time, but his belief in marriage did not. Hence, he was about to reject the demand of his father of marrying the girl whom he didn't know. But changed his decision when he came to know that the girl was none other than Gauri. 

Gauri, although was his childhood friend's sister, but was a stranger to him. A shy girl she is, Shivay had once told him. So, even he didn't care to strike any conversation with her. Little did he know that destiny will link his life with her, forever.

Struggling with his condition, suddenly, he heard a faint knock. Thinking it was Rudra, he got up and opened the door ready to give him a punch or  two, but to his surprise there was no one.

He looked here and there. When he couldn't find anyone, he turned but just then, his sight fell over a pink coloured envelope lying at the floor.

He picked it up and closed the door. After opening, he saw a letter slipped out of it. Burning with curiosity, he unfolded it, and started reading....

Dear Omkara,

I seriously don't know what would be your reaction after reading it... Whatever it is, I don't have any problem...I just wanted to confess that I LOVE YOU...Yes! I really do...l don't know when, where, how and why...I just fell, fell in love with you....It took me time to realize, but isn't it said that better late than never?

Do mark my words, Its a confession, not a proposal...I know you are not going to love me, you'll never, after all I don't deserve your love.....

Perhaps you will think that it is a prank....But I said I don't have any problem. Writing this letter was my choice, so the reaction over this letter should be yours....

~your lover

Omkara swiftly slided the letter back in the envelope before gasping in shock....A love letter is not something that you are supposed to receive a few days before your marriage.
