A Beautiful Mistake (Editing)

Changing Paths

***********************************************************************************************

Rishabh sat down on his bed feeling tensed about what to do. He has to do something. He can't really marry Naina now. Why the hell did he propose her? What if Ina would have come back after their marriage? And now, it's too late for him to tell Naina about his real feelings. Its not as if he didn't tried, but Naina is really busy, either in wedding preparations or office work. Still he has to try one last time. He called Naina and waited anxiously to pick up the call.

Naina, where are you?

Rishabh asked as soon as Naina picked up the call. She needs to know that he loves Inaya. They can't go ahead with this wedding now. He knows Naina will understand.

I am busy Rishu. I have to complete a report.

Naina said in a tired voice and Rishabh sighed unable to explain himself. She always interrupts him whenever he wants to tell her the truth. He knows she's tired, but her life is more important than work. Why isn't she listening to him??

I have to talk to you Naina. It is important. I want to tell you something. Its about our lives.

Rishabh told her almost panicked. What if she didn't listen to him?? What if she insists on going ahead with this marriage even after knowing the truth??

Naina??

Rishabh sighed as he heard someone calling her name and she started talking to that person. Rishabh could hear their talks and realised that the person is her boss. Rishabh looked down annoyed at her boss' timing.

I will talk to you later Rishu.

Naina cut the call before he could say anything and he grabbed his hair tensed. What the hell is happening in his life?? He has to talk to Ina. Only she can calm him down right now, he's actually freaking out. Rishabh called Inaya and she picked up his phone in just 2 rings.

What happened Rishi?

Ina asked in a tensed voice and Rishabh realised that she's asking about Naina only.

She is very busy. I can't get to her.

Rishabh said irritated about whatever is happening in his life. Why is all this so complicated? May be Ina can tell Naina about them.

She comes home very late. Even I wasn't able to talk to her. What will we do now Rishi? Karan is coming to India tomorrow and he said that we will be marrying here only.

Inaya said in a panicked voice and Rishabh felt himself go cold at the news. Tomorrow?? Karan Chauhan will be here tomorrow? Rishabh almost panicked as he knows that Karan will snatch his Ina from him. Somehow Rishabh knows that Karan won't care if Ina loves him or not. He will marry Ina forcefully and Rishabh can't let that happen.

But...But ...

Rishabh tried to say something but he doesn't know what to say. He's speechless unable to understand the reason why Karan preponed his trip that too by a month. Does Karan, by any chance, know about his and Ina's feelings?

I am scared Rishi. I can't marry him. Not when I know that I love you.

Ina said crying and Rishabh took a deep breath to calm himself. He knows he can't compete with Karan Singh Chauhan. But Rishabh will die before letting Karan have what's his.

I won't let that happen.

Rishabh said gritting his teeth annoyed. Ina will be his, she belongs to him only.
