Breathe in...!

Breathe out...!

I was very near to breaking the whole house down!

Today was the most dreadful day of my life.

I just banged my hand on the dressing table and everything fell down.

And the worst part is, I don't know where the fuck is Avni!

I need to see her!

She is not around since morning and everyone is avoiding my question when I ask them about her saying she is busy with the wedding preparations.

Calm down!

I am going to get married today and I clearly don't want to get hitched to Trisha for my whole life.

But do I have an option?

No! I don't.

Taking deep breaths I adjusted my sherwani and then entered Arnav in my room.

"Bro, are you ready?" He asked grinning and I rolled my eyes at him.

"Why are you so happy about it?" I asked raising my brows at him.

"Ohh I am just happy that the obstacle will be removed which is between me & Avni." He said winking and I scoffed at him.

"She is a year elder to you!" I said glaring at him.

"I am just joking ,Veer! Wanted to see your glaring self back because I don't like the sulky you." He said and smiled at me.

"I have every reason to be sulky!" I said shaking my head disapprovingly.

He came forward and gave me a bro hug.

"Don't worry everything will be fine." He said.

I again rolled my eyes.

"I am going to practically get married in an hour or so and you think that everything is going to be fine now?" I asked mocking him.

I soo tried to search for the documents but got nothing.

Mr. Ahluwalia is one cunning bastard!

Now , I have no option but to get married to that freak ex- girlfriend of mine.

"Let's go. And trust me, everything is going to be fine." Arnav said.

I just nodded at him and left the room.

Surprising how Mihir and Raghav are not here to irritate me.

Really Surprising!

I was walking down the stairs when Mom & Dad came into my view.

"All the best." Dad said patting my back with a smile.

I clearly need everyone's wishes to handle that witch!

"My boy is looking soo handsome." Mom said praising me.

"Am i not your boy, Mom?" Arnav asked pouting.

Drama!

"Don't be jealous now! Come on the priest is waiting for you." Mom said and dragged me.

Everything was set.

The mandap was set.

The priest was waiting on the mandap.

But my eyes were searching for someone.

Avni.

Where are you?

"The priest is telling you to get seated, Veer." Arnav whispered in my ear and I got out of my thoughts.

I started walking towards the mandap only with one thought in my mind.

I am doing this for Dad.

I looked at Dad for a second and saw him smiling & talking to some of the guests.

I smiled and moved forward.

When I got seated the priest started with the rituals.

Soon the bride was called and when the bride came I looked towards her.

She was wearing a red lehenga which might I add was looking very beautiful on her.

Her face was covered in a red veil and I really had this urge to open her veil and see her face.

I've totally lost it!

When she was made to sit beside me a familiar scent of strawberries filled my nostrils.

Why does she smell like Avni?

Great! Now I am hallucinating.

Snap out of it!

The rituals started and all the time my mind was revolving around Avni and why is she not here.

The priest told us to stand up and then the garlands were exchanged.

Then I tied the nupital chain around her neck.

But the fact that she was smelling like Avni was disturbing me.

How can I hallucinate this much?

I had this weird urge to lift her veil and see her face but it is not allowed.

When finally it was time that her veil will be lifted and I had to put the vermillion on her forehead the lights went out.

Everyone freaked out but the priest asked to continue the ritual.

Tanu came forward and lifted her veil but ofcourse I couldn't see her face but I had this strange feeling in my heart.

I don't know what it was.

Something strange!

Tanu again covered her face in the veil and then when the lights were on again, Tanu winked at me.

What's wrong with her?

I looked at Raghav, Mihir standing there grinning.

What the hell is going on?

Why is everyone of them giving me these sly looks?

I just ignored them and then the priest announced that we were married.

Married!

Then we were informed to touch our elder's feet and then we started taking everyone's blessings.

Finally when we reached to Mr. Ahluwalia, I did not bent down to touch his feet but Trisha did and then he said

"You'll get what you want, Veer. I am a man of my words." He said smiling.

I rolled my eyes at him.

One cunning bastard he is!

"You better be a man of your words!" I said glaring at him and I was shocked how all the while Trisha stood there without even talking a word.

How is it possible?

"Treat my daughter well for a month and you will get it!" He said smirking.

And rage filled inside me.

"What the fuck are you talking?" I said raising my voice.

I didn't care if I was creating a scene.

Anyways the guests are already left.

"I don't want my daughter to suffer." He said shrugging.

"You— I started but soon was interrupted by Trisha's aunt's voice

"Trisha!" She yelled.

And I turned around to why was she yelling but got the shock of my life when I saw Trisha standing over there in casual clothes.

I looked beside me and saw that the bride was still standing beside me.

I was looking between both of them confused as to what is happening.

If Trisha is standing there then who is here?

Everyone stood there shell shocked.

Except for Tanu, Raghav, Mihir looking as calm as they could be.

I looked at them narrowing my eyes and Mihir just shrugged.

They've definitely done something in this matter!

"If Trisha is here then who did you get married to?" Mr. Ahluwalia asked gritting his teeth.

And I turned to look beside me but before I could ask something Tanu said

"So, ladies & gentlemen let me introduce you to the new member of our family

Mrs. Veer Singhania." And lifted her veil and kept it on her forhead.

I just looked at her shocked.

How is this possible?

I just held on to the nearby chair to prevent myself from falling.

Then I rubbed my eyes to make sure that I am not hallucinating.

I rubbed my eyes

Once

Twice

Thrice.

But she was still there.

I am not hallucinating!

I looked at Mom & Dad and they looked

Happy?

Mom was barely supressing her squeal and Dad was just smiling from ear to ear.

"You bitch!" Trisha yelled and threw the nearby decoration pot in her direction.

I just pulled her by my side and hugged her covering her from the front.

And at that moment I knew that this was not a dream.

I didn't care right now that the vase hit my back and was into peices by now.

All I could care was

She is for real!

"Avni." I called her still hugging her and she just tightened her hold on me.

"You're really here?" I asked her.

"I am not here actually this is a projection from mars. I moved there recently." She said sarcastically.

I released her from the hug and when I stepped aside the vase broken pieces were there all around us.

"First let me handle her!" Avni said and moved aside.

"How dare you replace me. You don't know the consequences." Trisha yelled and Avni just chuckled.

Is she serious?

Does Avni not know the seriousness of the situation?

"Care to tell what consequences?" Avni asked amused.

"Girl, you are not at all aware of what damage could be caused by this stunt of yours." Mr. Ahluwalia said gritting his teeth.

"Damage? And you know what damage could be caused to your reputation after everyone gets to know that you trapped Veer to marry your daughter who is already married?" Avni asked him raising her brows.

He looked shocked for a second but then continued

"I can manage that. But can you save his father from going behind bars?" Mr. Ahluwalia asked smirking.

Wait, What?

So, Trisha is really married!

I glared at Trisha but she smirked in my direction and said "Now, you won't get the papers Veer! And you can do nothing but see your downfall."

I was going to say something when Raghav piped in "Ohh... Are you by any chance talking about these papers?" Raghav asked showing a file.

I was just looking at everyone confused.

"What the hell? Give me the file!" Trisha said and lunged towards Raghav and he simply handed her the file.

Trisha furiously opened and started going through the documents.

After she was done with it she just had a look which clearly said What-the-fuck-just-happened.

She handed the file to her dad and he again started going through it.

Raghav said "Don't worry you can't runaway with these. They are just a copy. The orignal ones are safe with me."

"But h-ho-howw?" Trisha asked stammering.

I could clearly see she was confused and so was I.

I had no idea what was going on but also I know one thing and that is they have turned the game and now the ball in absolutely in our court.

"All thanks to now Mrs. Singhania." Mihir said smirking at Trisha and her father.

"And also, we have your marriage certificate. Your husband is also been informed about this second marriage of yours. He will be landing here anytime. So get ready to face him." Avni said and Tanu handed me a file which had Trisha's marriage certificate and her wedding pictures.

"This can't be true. You can't have the orignal papers! Nobody knew where they were except for us!" Mr. Ahluwalia said screaming.

"Lower your voice, Mr. Ahluwalia." Avni said glaring at him.

"Your genius daughter led us to the documents." Avni added looking at Trisha smiling.

"Remember when you heard us talking about the documents?" Arnav asked.

"Yess! I heard you guys talking that you have the orignal document with you but then I myself checked out the outhouse and the documents were still there." Trisha said still with a frown etched on her face.

"There! You were wrong. It was a set up. You were supposed to listen to our talks and then take us to the place where the documents were. And you exactly did that." Avni said shrugging.

"Yeah! Because of you we got to know that the documents were in the outhouse.

How smart of you to keep our documents in our outhouse. So that no one would suspect that the documents could be there." Arnav added and now their plan was getting clear in my head.

Smartasses!

"It was very difficult to find exactly where the documents were in outhouse.

So we had to set up and replace Avni with you so that we would get time to search for it." Raghav added.

"What if you guys would have never found it?" Mom asked curiously.

"Just asking out of curiosity, kids!" Mom said when everyone turned their heads towards her.

"Then even that was not a problem because Avni would have got married to Veer and they had no other option then back off because we had proofs that Trisha is already married." Tanu said shrugging.

"So, either way they were losing." Raghav added.

"This cannot be happening!" Trisha yelled.

"Ohh yess! Guess what? This is happening! Now get your bankrupt asses out of this house." Avni said glaring at both of them.

"You'll pay for it." Mr. Ahluwalia said.

"First get yourself out of the bankrupcy then we will talk about revenge Mr. Ahluwalia." Avni said in a very threatning tone.

And furious Avni is the worst.

Never!

I repeat never to mess with a furious Avni!

"How'd you know about the bankrupcy?" Trisha asked.

"I told you, Unlike you I have brains!" Avni said and smirked.

Hell lot of brains!

Raghav called in the security to escort them out and in no time they were out of my life tooo!

Yayyyiieeee!
