A love so typical.. ?¿

3. Unexpected reveal

It seems like yesterday when it was my first day of college and now I'm already in 3rd year. Time really flies.

It seems like yesterday when I first saw Aayan, had a crush on him immediately, we started to talk and now... We don't. Its not he stopped talking but I did.

Sahil sir told me that he's a womaniser. He has 3 girlfriends at present and he even goes to Red Light areas. It was a lot to seek in when he told me. V was as shocked as I was. And then I slowly started to stop talking to him. And of course it didn't matter for him as he had many women. *sigh*

But now I realised something, that its better to have a crush on actors rather than the one you can see in person. At least you will know that there are never gonna be yours.

Laughter spread in the garden as one of my cousin cracked a joke.

Right now I'm in a family wedding even though the wedding was yesterday Baarat(grooms family) still isn't gone because there were some after wedding ritual left. My cousins that means the bride's cousins and groom's cousins are right now in the garden of the wedding hall. We just talking about random things and laughing. I can't control my laugh, now I'm even crying.

"Swara" I turned around wiping my tears, to see my mum standing there in a purplish pink heavy sari.

The moment she knew I was listening she turned.

"Aarsh" Aarsh turned towards her too with a smile "Both of you come with me" she added and then she started walking.

We both looked towards each other and the look on his face showed that he was as confused as I was, so we stood up and followed her.

Aarsh is one of the groom's cousins, but they are not that close I guess. Well nobody knows since he doesn't speak much. The previous joke that I was laughing my eyes out all he did was a soft chuckle. He seems like a boring guy. But but but... He's hot as hell. He's tall, muscular, a fair skin with high cheek bones, black geled hair, sharp eyes with an arrogant look in them. If he won't act like a jerk he would be good package. But I'm sure there must be a number of girls wanting to get in his bed, and he must have a girlfriend too, or maybe he's a player. Well the later suits the most.

We reached the room and we got in with mum. My father was also there with two more people a man in suit who looked in his late 40's and a women in her early 40's.

"Mom? Dad? What are you guys doing here?? I thought you weren't coming?? " Aarsh asked.

So they are his parents?? Right, now I can actually see his resemblance from his father. Same high cheek bone, geled hair, and those sharp brown eyes the only difference was that his father didn't have that arrogant look in them, and he looked a little old. He might have looked just like Aarsh in his young age.

"Yes we weren't but we had some important thing in our hand so we have to come" His mother spoke with a smile. She looks like a nice lady. She's also wearing a sari, not too heavy but elegant one.

They both turned their attention towards me.

"Namaste " I said joining my hands and nodding a little.

" Namaste beta" the lady said, while Aarsh's father just nodded. "Both of you sit down" she added pointing towards the chairs.

Our parents started talking through gestures, it was confusing so I looked at Aarsh who was just looking bored. Since it didn't seemed to end soon I decided to speak.

"Is there something you want to tell us?? "

" Who's gonna speak?? " Aarsh's mother spoke.

Okay, now its getting weird.

" Is everything alright?? " I asked.

"Listen, we are doing this for your benefit. Believe..."

"Wait!" I interrupted "Sorry to interrupt but this line is never good. Whenever parents say this line in dramas or stories they...." My eyes widened as I realised what this could lead to."You guys aren't going to make us marry each other, are you??"

Our parents looked at each other and then towards us with apologetic eyes.

"No way" I almost yelled.

"Swara.. " Papa started.

" No Papa. I can't get married yet. I'm only 19, and there are many things that I want to do before marriage... I have to graduate, I want to go for a trip with my friends, and there are number of things that I want to do "

" Swara.. "

" No papa I'm still not ready for this why don't you understand "

" Swara!! " He yelled."Enough is enough now shut your mouth this instance, I don't want to hear another word! And what do you want to do?? Go to trip, get drunk and get layed with someone??"

Gaspes were heard from our mothers.

"Vaibhav!! " Aarsh's father yelled in whispers.

My dad's words got straight through my heart breaking it.

How could he even say something like that?? Is this how he thinks about me?? Even if he do, how could he say something like that in front of Aarsh's parents!!!

" Papa how could you.. " words couldn't find their way out. My vision started to blur due to the tears that started to build. I looked down to hide my tears.

I'm not gonna cry here. I cannot cry here. Swara you have to be strong. Don't cry!!

" Swara dear, your father didn't mean what he said. He was just angry that you weren't listening and it just came out of his mouth like that. He doesn't mean a word what he said. He loves you. And you know that better than me." Aarsh's mother spoke. I didn't response just looked downwards.

"Mom" Arsh finally spoke. He might have realised that I alone won't be able to convince them. "I think she's right. We are not ready for this. We are too young. And there are things that I want to do too. Also you guys promised me that I will have to join the company at 24 and before taht you won't interfere in what I do until is really necessary. "

"Aarsh we are doing this for your sake and I don't want any argument about this... "

" But mom.. "

" No but" She said sternly. "And it is really necessary, its your grandpaa's last wish. He wants to see you get married or at least engaged before he dies."

"And we are not holding a wedding immediately. At least not till Swara graduates. So you guys don't have to worry" His father said.

There was a moment if silence. Maybe they were waiting for our answer or should I say Aarsh's.

"Fine" Aarsh stood up and left the room.

This is your chance. Get out of here before they say anything else.

"I think I should go too" I stood up and left the room without waiting for a reply.

I released a long sigh and almost ran toward the parking area. I started my scooty and left without saying anything to anyone.

Without taking long I reached the nearby park. It wasn't far from the wedding hall but not too close either. It was around 3 to 4 km away.

I don't think anyone would guess I could be here.

I parked my scooty and went inside. I spotted an empty place in the park that was a little surrounded by trees. I sat down.

Perfect.

As soon as I sat down the tears I was holding back for so long automatically started to fall and I cried my eyes out.

"Swarnika?? Is that you?"
