Prem Ki Naiya hai Ram ke bharose

Feeling Trapped

flashbacks in brackets

If Arnav had thought that declaring, that he would get married only after Riddhima, would save him or at least give him some time to find out a solution, then he was so wrong. If he is Arnav Singh Raizada then she is Devyani Singh Raizada. The next morning, she had a long call and using her health as weapon, she achieved the goal.

"by hook or by crook, I'll get you married chote" she said to herself, after cutting the call. Dadi called Arjun and Aradhana in her room and informed them about the conversation that she had with Rishabh Singhania few minutes ago. At first, they were concerned about the preparations but then agreed with her.

Riddhima had called her to inform her about the news of her getting married in the span of a week, at first, she thought that she was making fool of her, but then speaking about Dadi's health, she got that the matter was serious, especially when she nominated her brother.

[ [ "So...she wants to see both her grandchildren's marriages"

Her heart had skipped a beat, hearing about that one Raizada's marriage

"So even your bhai is getting married"

She had asked casually, trying to sound as normal as she can

"No, he is not interested in it"

Khushi let out the breath that she was holding "why I'm feel relieved"she thought ] ]

Even now thinking about him getting married, makes her feel low and she doesn't know why. From past ten minutes she was trying to figure out why she was feeling happy and sad at the same time. Happy because he was not getting married and sad because he was not interested in marriages

"Who cares if he is going to marry or not"

"you" a voice chirped at the back of her head, but she chooses to ignore it and went to prepare herself for the office.

The announcement of Riddhima's marriage in less than a week, came to him like a cold shower. Of course, he had tried to protest, his sharp mind had got the reason behind them rushing Riddhima's wedding, "shit" he had cursed himself for promising blindly. He saw a ray of hope when Riddhima voiced her wish to wait for sometime "at least there is someone talking with sense" he felt relieved, but it didn't last for long, as their Dadi shut her up saying something like "we know what is the better for you and don't worry about your career I've already talked with Rishabh".

Then he had tried to convince them to postpone it for two or three months, for the sake of his new project, but seems they were adamant "it's a project more important than you ONLY sister's marriage?" Dadi had reprimanded him. Getting that there was no point in talking to them he had retired to his room.

"I see no escape routes"

"if you can't help, then shut the fu*k up" he yelled at the screen of his laptop and began to consume the soles of his shoes again

"Arnav try to give it a thought" Aman suggested

"Have you lost it?" he barked, Aman thanked the fact that he wasn't with him, otherwise he would have surely got a black eye thanks his suggestions.

"Listen!"once getting his attention he continued "calm down first, now wait till Riddhima's wedding. Let's see with what they come up and we'll handle accordingly"
