"Who are you?"
At first, I thought he was just being silly. But as I stared at him for a couple of minutes, I could see he wasn't joking or pulling my leg. My heart nearly stopped beating. The guy I had dreamt of spending my whole life with didn't know who I was?
"This is a joke, isn't it? You're scaring me to death," I said to calm myself down.
He was looking at me like he had seen a ghost. I couldn't read his face. I couldn't stop thinking about what he really meant.
"You're not her, you're not Khushi. Who are you?"
His words froze me. He was talking about Khushi, which is my name, at the same time he asked who I am. This couldn't be a joke, especially today when we had just gotten married.
"Y-you don't know who I actually am? I am Khushi!! You came to my house for the wedding proposal for me! I am Khushi Gupta, the girl you wanted to marry." Tension filled the room. He had no idea what I was talking about, as if he couldn't understand the language I spoke.
"You can't. You just can't! I wanted to marry her," he pointed at a picture frame near his window on a side table. I walked towards the table only to find out.
It was Isha's picture.
"This is m-my sister," I mumbled.
