In suvarna's room.
Suvarna's POV...
"How dare they reject my sister and expect me to be ok with it. Me marrying that...that... Vivaan would be the cause of world war 3. Suvarna calms down. Think calmly you know that Meera has a crush on him since the past couple of years. Well, that is the problem why the hell did they ask for my hand. I am really confused. But dad's business is on the line. I have to do something but I really don't want to cause a mess in mom's and dad's life. Wait Suvarna think calmly before you ruin your life you have your whole future on the line."Meanwhile downstairs...
Vaishnavi: "bhai can we adults talk for a moment."
Jagan: "of course. Meera takes Vivaan to the garden."
Meera: "ok dad."
Once they left...
Ritesh: "Please forgive me because what I have to say will sound a bit harsh."
Jagan: "ok continue."
Ritesh: "Jagan I said that I want Vivaan to marry your daughter and I did not mean your adopted daughter."
Vaishnavi: "Bhai we have always wanted an intelligent well spoken, well mannered, respectful, shy and reserved daughter in law and beautiful. Meera is a wonderful girl. But her beauty does not match up to your daughter. Bhai don't misunderstand with what I mean by beautiful. When I am talking about beauty I mean both inside and outside and if Suvarna and Vivaan get married it will make our relationship even more strong."
Sanjana: "But Suvarna just finished school. She has her set of dreams and aspirations. "
Suvarna came down...Meanwhile...
In the Garden...
Meera: "Uhmm... so how is life."
Vivaan: "It is good just hectic with work and stuff."
Meera: "Uhmm Aaah..."
Vivaan: "Stop being so nervous will you."
Meera: "How do you expect me not to be nervous. Firstly your family came for a proposal for me but ended up asking Suvarna instead."
Vivaan: "Yeah so why does it matter to you, If I marry Suvarna."
Meera: "You two are so different and what qualities she has to want to marry her?"
Vivaan: "Well she is Intelligent, extremely Beautiful, straightforward etc."
Vivaan's POV...
"Yeah right my foot. I am going to marry her for rejecting me THE VIVAAN SINGH-RAJPUT.
Meera: "Like I am not beautiful straightforward and intelligent. " she muttered under her breath.Suvarna's POV...
I walk down to the hall and all looked at me and soon Meera and Vivaan walked in from the garden, I looked at them and turned my gaze to my mum and dad as well as Vivaan's mum and dad; then I say...
Me: "Aunty and uncle I am sorry about behaving rudely with you it is just that..." before I could finish mum said.
Mum: "Suvarna before you continue I would like to speak to you."
Me: "Sure mum."
Mum pulls me to one side.
Mum whispers: "Suvarna please agree to marry Vivaan. "
Me: "But ma I can't..."
Mum: "Suvarna I am not asking you I am telling you. Do you understand me and wait for one second... Meera comes here."
Mum: "Meera please tell your sister to marry Vivaan. As your dad's business is at stake." With that, she leaves.
Meera: "Agree for the sake of mum and dad."
Me: "How do you expect me to agree. When I know you love him."
Meera: "It is fine just agree."
I immediately walk towards where Vivaan and his parents were standing.
Me: "So where was i... oh yes it is just that I have conditions."
Aunty: "What conditions?"
Me: "Vivaan has to agree to marry me and I will continue my studies; that too in my choice of university."
Aunty: "That is perfectly all right. Vivaan what do you think."
Vivaan: "Since you, all decided our future who are we to object."
Me: "Ok then."
Third person's POV
Ritesh: "Ok then since all the discussions are over. When should we have them marry."
Vaishnavi: "Maybe towards the end of March beginning of April, because Suvarna will be turning 18 next month. We can get engaged on her birthday."
Sanjana: "Yes that will be wonderful bhabi."
Vaishnavi: "Ok then that is decided on. But bhai what do you think about a destination wedding."
Suvarna&Vivaan:"No ma/Aunty. "
Vaishnavi: "was I talking to you both."
Suvarna's POV...
"Oh great... university is going to start and instead of preparing for that I am preparing for my wedding. How great."
End of POV.
Her train of thoughts is broken when her mother speaks.
Sanjana: "Bhabi why don't we call a pundit(Hindu priest) to look for an auspicious time for the wedding."
Vaishnavi: "Of course. We will meet tomorrow as I have to inform our pundit."
Sanjana: "Sure."
After some time of discussion, Suvarna excuses herself and heads to the garden to get some fresh air. She looks around and sees her parents in the kitchen making tea so she decides to go and help them. As she is about to enter the when she hears.
Sanjana: "I am so happy she agreed to marry Vivaan. At least she did something for our family, usually, Meera does more for us than our own daughter. "
Jagan: "Don't say such horrible things about Suvarna. She has sacrificed lots of things to make everyone happy."
Sanjana: "Yeah right you are full of praises of your daughter. Name one thing she is sacrificing. "
Jagan: "For example this marriage."
Sanjana: "All you can see is what Suvarna does. You don't care about Meera and Shridhar."
She then leaves from there and goes outside.
Suvarna's POV...
"I immediately walk towards the swing on the patio and I sit on it. Thinking of what mum was saying. Tears involuntarily trickled down my cheeks and before I knew it I was sobbing hysterically. Suddenly I hear someone behind me, I quickly wipe my tears and make myself look presentable; I then feel the person coming closer towards me. Before I knew it the person was standing next to me.
Person: "Are you ok?"
Me: "Yeah, I am fine. What about you Vivaan are you ok?"
Vivaan: "Yeah kind of. I felt suffocated inside. They are planning the wedding as per their wish. Destination wedding, designer outfits etc. It is like they are getting married and not us."
Me: "Yeah I think the feeling is mutual. I was also feeling suffocated inside. Vivaan are you ok with this whole wedding thing."
Vivaan: "Why are you not happy or something. "
Me: "Vivaan just answer the bloody question instead of counter questioning me."
Vivaan: "Listen we both know that this marriage is taking place only because of our parents, it is not taking place for our happiness."
Me: "Sorry I asked that, you are right. It is just that I don't know you Vivaan and neither do you know me. Things changed alot in 10 years." In a slightly sad tone.
Vivaan:"Well I know what i Have to know about you and you character." He says in a harsh tone.
Suvarna:"Could you elaborate. "
With that he gave Suvarna a death stare and walk off.
Suvarna:"Arrogant human being."
She mumbled to herself.
