Anushree's viewpoint :

"Chalo." Shubman told me in an annoyed voice, after I came out of my room.

I can't take all this anymore. I've no wish to turn Shubman and my life utterly miserable for a lifetime.

Since this relationship is getting really toxic now itself, I'll have to break it no matter how difficult it is to do so.

"Can I talk to Keart aunty? I want to turn down this marriage." I told Shubman with a heavy heart, as a tear slipped down my cheek again.

"What?!" He reacted, his eyes popping out in the process.

"Please." I requested.

"Of course!" He grinned wide, making my heart break at his expression.

Seeing him smile always brought one on my face too, without even realizing so. Today the same dimpled smile is tearing me apart like anything.

"Ishan, go call her." Shubman told him and he left.

"Thanks a lot Anushree. Don't mind whatever I said, all I was waiting for was hearing these words from you." He added for me with the same wide smile plastered on his face.

What can I even say to this?

He's my happiness and today, to see this smile, I'm on the verge of sacrificing my everything. If this is the only thing that can make his life better, I'll have to choose this lane.

I went in again and Shubman came along with Keart aunty within the next minute.

"Kitne kaam hain aur tum dono yahin ho, ab chalo bhi." She facepalmed herself.

"Anushree ko kuch baat karni hai." Shubman told her.

"Haa bolo beta." Keart aunty came and sat next to me.

"Kya hua, tu ro kyu rahi hai?" She added in concern on seeing me cry and started wiping off my tears.

"Main yeh shaadi nahi kar sakti aunty." I told her in between my sobs.

"Kya hua? Aisa kyu bol rahi hai tu?" She asked me considerably while embracing me in a hug.

"Shubman.." I sobbed.

"Tune rulaya Anu ko?" Keart aunty asked Shubman in a slightly fuming voice.

"Nahi aunty, bas Shubman iss shaadi se khush nahi hain isliye main mana kar rahi hoon." I told her the reason.

"Tune hi kuch kaha hoga tabhi yeh aisi baatein kar rahi hai." Aunty scolded Shubman.

"Maine bas wahi kaha jo sach hai." Shubman shrugged his shoulders.

She gave him an annoyed look on hearing that and then turned back towards me.

"Tu mana kardegi toh main jaane dungi tujhe? Meri bahu tu hi hai aur yeh shaadi hokar rahegi. Aur haa, mujhe aunty nahi, mumma bol." She nearly scolded me.

"Mumma woh keh rahi na use shaadi nahi karni." Shubman groaned.

"Main kuch nahi jaanti. Tum dono yeh sab naatak khatam karo aur jaldi baahar aao, guests wait kar rahe hain." She instructed us.

Then she wiped my tears off my face and kissed my forehead lightly.

"Agar phirse shaadi na karne ka socha bhi toh main naraaz ho jaaungi tujhse. Promise kar phirse yeh sab nahi bolegi." Keart mumma said while caressing my back.

"Okay mumma." I weakly passed her a smile and she reciprocated.

She also scolded Shubman a bit for apparently misbehaving with me, before leaving.
