--------------------------------------------------
PARTH'S POV
It's almost 2 hrs sitting here near sea shore with my best friend with whom i can talk my heart out Bhavuk. Looking at me he said "come on parth,you have to move on..it's almost 3years since she left you..and here you are talking about her again...I know it's not easy for you but you have to forget her,may be you are destined to be with the girl your parents have found for you." I look at him and take a big sigh and said with my face straight towards sea waves "yes may be I am destined to be with some one I don't love but my parents do." Closing my eyes I tried to push my past away since I am about to begin my married life. I will forget you Shrishti- our love or may be it's just me who was in love since you didn't even try to convince you parents once. Yes, our parents didn't want us to get married but I was standing with you against my family and you just left my side saying you can't be with me because your parents said so. I would have tried again again for you and me to become one,but you just left not even looking at me once. I guess Bhavuk is right,i do deserve better partner but what I am not sure is that can i be ever be in love with my wife to be. I am supposed to be getting married tomorrow. I look at my best friend who was glaring at me knowing exactly what i was thinking,said,"Hey Mahadev, why,why this kind soul is so bad at forgetting things. I have to stop giving you almonds now."
Bhavuk said in stern but funny tone which was enough to make smile. "Can we head towards home now." I asked but a simple nod or reply from him is not possible. He said"yes yes why not i have to look after the arrangement for groom since i am like you jeshth bhrata my dear soon to be groom" and smiled sheepishly. I rolled my eyes and we got up and head towards our home.
--------------------------------------------------
PARSHATI'S POV
Calm and stillness-thats the atmosphere in my room, looking around,my room is full of new sarees, jewellery and what not. I am supposed to get married tomorrow. I was thinking how our life changes after the death of my father. I took the responsibility of financial issue and Bhoomi my sister took care of household work since Maa was not able take any responsibility further. I owned a toy shop which earns finely as its the only one in the area. My trance and silent in the room was broken by my sister Bhoomi "my dearest jiji seems like you are already lost in thoughts of my jijajiii" she said with extra honey in her voice. I roll my eyes back on expressions and antique. "Yes I was thinking about him, i want meet him before marriage" I said straight. She was standing and staring with her eyes and mouth open. "Are you serious jiji ?" I didn't reply but just kept eye contact with her. After sometime Bhoomi asked why and how will you that..you are not supposed to see each other till you get married. I will tell you why part bhoomi- you know that i can't just left maa like that,she is physically weak, hardly manages to do household work I just can't let her do the shop work and you help maa after i am gone both house and shop work will be burden on you. I just want to tell him that i want to continue the shop work after marriage. I told her in one go,now how i am going to that- i looked at her and smiled and said that you have to plan,since my not so little sister is good at these. For a moment the calmness was back in the room but not for long Bhoomi gave me a full smile and said jiji your wish my command and we both laughed. But there is a small issue jiji,you both can't see other but don't worry your little sister can do anything for you,now just the tension and relax it's you big day and lets pack you rest of the luggage. I smiled looking at her.
-------------------------------------------------
Bhoomi's Pov
"Everyone is busy in marriage preparation and pre rituals and baraat has already i arrived,it's the best time to execute my plan,yes Bhoomi go for it but i have find that idiot friend of jiaji who step on beautiful lehnga." Bhoomi said to herself and started cleaning her dress again.
Excuse me I said keeping a smile on face to jiaji's freind what was his name...yes Bhavuk..i need you help can you come. He eyed me like i have asked for his entire property. Then he smiled from ear to ear and said of course. I explained him that jiji want to meet jiaji before marriage,before he can say something i said i have done the planning you just need to bring jiaji outside my room ok. Again he stared at me and said "fine but make sure they don't see each other." After like 5-10 min he came with jiju as he came i switched off the light of my room where jiji is already in and hurried out of there.
---------------------------------------------------
PARSHATI'S POV
I have to agree that Bhoomi has a perfect plan. He was looking all curious and anxious to know what all is happening. Though it's dark outside and inside the room so that we can't see each other but I can notice his gestures and I think that he also notice that someone is in the room. After sometime I said It's me who have called you here. He stood straight hearing my voice.
I said and explained him in one go and notice that he was there and listened calmly and said that it's really courageous and correct decision and he respects her a lot for that. He tried to move back but suddenly due to darkness he stumbled and got hurt his hand which started bleeding,I ran towards him but he already left.
----------------------------------------------- Both Parth and Parshati are sitting under the vivah mandap. Parshati was trying to look at Parth's hand which got hurt earlier. During one of the ritual in which bride keep her hand above the groom's hand Parshati noticed the injured hand and blood she know it must be painful for him to keep his hand in air. As Bhavuk was about to help Parth, she keep her other hand under the Parth's hand giving him support. Bhavuk and Bhoomi smiled looking at them. On other hand Parth looked at her in awe and suprise and she just smiled. They saw each other for the very first time. They already have each others respect and understanding now they just found their love. Looking at each other with a smile and love in heart they complete their wedding rituals.

Parth and Parshati found their arranged love.❣️❣️
