Claiming his heart

Chapter 42

Hi kitties

Sonia

I had returned back to home. I knocked on the door. I was very upset the whole flight knowing that I failed in the mission. Yesterday I didn't went anywhere even though Garv had knocked on my door a lot of time but I didn't have the heart to go out.

I am suffocating inside knowing that till here we have come together but now we have the separate path. The door opened and I found my father with the big smile on his face. He pulled me in a hug.

"I thought that you will return after one week."

"I was missing you that is why I have come early."

"I know that my daughter can't be away from her father long."

"So finally you are over here." I heard my mother voice. I looked at her and found her same as I have left her. She still dresses traditionally. Even though she looks beautiful in those Rajasthani saree but her expression is more dangerous. I put the heavy stone on my heart, now that I don't have any thing left with Garv than I am ready to marry anyone else.

I went towards her and touched her feet. She didn't said anything. I looked her before my eyes went on the ground.

"Ma....I have decided. I will marry the person whom you will choose." My father gasped.

"What is wrong Sonia? What about the boy you were talking about?"

"I don't think that I was able to claim him."

"You still have few days, why don't you give it a try." I shook my head.

"I don't want to. I am ready to get married to anyone you like." I said firmly.

"Then get ready. Today in the evening some people are coming to see you. I hope that you would behave properly in front of them." I nodded. "Now go and rest till than." I took away my luggage with me in the room. I started to unpack when I saw the small box.

I remember that in the morning Garv had given me this box and told me not to open it while he doesn't say that I should. Isn't it weird? For me it is. Why would he hand me something. It is a jewelry box. I am curious to know what is inside it but yet I don't want to open it because it is given by that person who had hurt me. Even though he didn't knew how I felt about him, yet I am in pain. I changed my clothes in yellow kurti. I went outside and saw mother who was working in the kitchen.

"Ma, when they are coming?"

"They will be here by 6." I looked at clock and found that they have two hours before they arrive. I don't have so much to do so I went back to my room and go shocked when I saw Vidhi and Bhoomi over there.

"How did you get inside?" I asked and Bhoomi put her hand on my mouth.

"We are here to kidnap you." I was confused when out of sudden someone put the blindfold on my eyes. I chuckled.

"Are you guys really kidnapping me?"

"We are not joking."

"What if my mother comes to know?"

"She won't and if she would uncle would handle her." They guided me. I was feeling so much ticklish about this situation. I couldn't stop smiling. After that we sat inside the car.

"Are we going to have fun?"

"Yeah, you can say that."

"By the way how was the trip to England?"Vidhi asked

"It was fabulous. I enjoyed a lot there. I really wish that I could go again."

"Then go again at your honeymoon." Bhoomi said and I rolled my eyes.

"I don't want to go there and yeah drop me off home by two hours."

"Why?" Vidhi asked

"Because a man is coming to see me."

"You have left Garv?"

"You can say that. I am now moving on from him."

"That is too bad to listen. I thought that you two would end up together."

"I had also thought that but now my eyes are open and I don't want to live in false hope more,so here I am."

"That is great, you should not tangle yourself in that love which doesn't have any end." Bhoomi said.

"Saying who?" Vidhi mocked.

"What? Me and Ashish were meant to be together. That is why god had given me another chance to be with him and you are also the same."

"Our situation is quite same. God had also given me the second chance."

"Uhh...when I was getting married to Ashish, it was like a dream that was coming true."

"If Nikhil wouldn't have come that day then I would be his wife."

"Don't talk stupid. He was bound to come and I know that Ashish would have find the way through which he would stop the wedding."

"Yeah, yeah, that day when Nikhil was beside me instead of Ashish, I couldn't express how much I was happy, I was scared that I had actually married Ashish, but that goodness that nothing like that had happened. If it would be Ashish instead of him than I would have beat him up for not doing anything." All of us chuckled.

"You guys are lucky enough that you guys end up with your true love." I said and sighed. Maybe I am the unlucky one.

"Don't feel dishearten, maybe the person whom you are going to see today would replace Garv." I shook my head.

"The feelings which Garv had given me is very special, no one literally no one could attract me like he could."

"Aww..." They both said in unison. Then the car stopped.

"We have reached where we have to." I heard Vidhi saying that and I could feel she was smiling when she said that.

"We bless you for the future." I heard both of saying that and unfold my blindfold. Then Vidhi put the box in my hand and pushed me forward. I looked at them and they gestured me to go. I couldn't understand.

"Here you go." Nikhil handed me the balloon. I was confused. "Now go forward." I looked at the balloon as found that it was having the smiling face. I smiled.

"Happy birthday." Ashish came with the cake and stood in front of me.

"What today is my birthday?"

"You are forgetful." I was feeling embarrassed.

"Sonia, why don't you open the box?" I heard Garv's voice and all the others also joined. I opened the box and was surprised. It was a ring.

"It belongs to my future wife." I heard his voice from behind and looked at him. Future wife?
