Entangled in these Relations:

Shazad couldn't believe it. How selfish could he parents be? Although he knew how distasting his parents choice would be, that wasn't his problem. Shazad was still in college, he knew nothing of where his life was to take him and on top of all, he still loved her…he loved her more than anyone else, and even though he knew it could happen between them ever again, it was too soon to start with someone else. Maybe he should run away he thought. But where would he go? Everything from his car to his boxers were owned by his grouch of a father and wimp of a mother. Where could he go? Shazad needed to talk to someone, just ask someone for advice, just take help in figuring in thoughts together. But who? Zuzu seemed to have disappeared, Kripa and him were in official fight mode and Raj was just gone. At this time, there was only one person that came to mind, only one person who Shazad really wanted to hear from…Meem. He warily dialed Meem's number hanging up twice before finally waiting for an answer. "Hello?, asked s someone from the other line. "Hey, is this Meem's number?", Shazad asked confused about who the man was. "Shazad? It's Hussein", replied Hussein. "Oh, whatever just give it to Meem for a minute", Shazad bluntly said. "Meem's not here right now, and even if he was. I still wouldn't give her the phone", Hussein said with attitude. Shazad rolled his eyes, very not in the mood for this bull. "You know Hussein, its pathetic that you really think Meem gives a crap about you, its just really pathetic to see you so desperate that you don't even see it", said Shazad. "Shazad, keep saying that to yourself…it'll make you feel better about the fact the Meem choose me over you", Hussein laughed out having fun teasing Shazad. But of course Shazad wasn't any less, "You do know that the only reason she's with you is because she wants to forget me right", teased Shazad…he invented this game, no Hussein would beat him in it. "The point is that she's with me Shazad, she's with me", answered Hussein with pride. "Yeah…so tell me, did she ever say she loved you? No right…now ask me how I know that", Shazad said. Hussein stayed quiet and Shazad simply hung up…he had won.

"So, who's coming?", asked Vedika as she looked through a magazine for the perfect dress. Angad sat quiet and pretended not to listen to her. Vedika looked at Angad and asked again, "Angad, who's coming to the wedding?". Angad took a deep breath and looked at Vedika, and held her hands. "Baby, we have a lot, and I mean a lot of friends here in Boston and their all coming. Their all so happy for us", he explained kissing her hand. "But what about people from New York?", she asked. Angad held Vedika's hands tighter, "We don't need them, their just…forget them Vedika, we have our world here, and Bua is coming so what else do we need?", Angad said. Now Vedika was on the verge of crying. Not because they weren't coming, It wasn't simply that. "Their not coming because of what happened with Kripa right?", Vedika asked. Angad hugged Vedika, and kissed her forehead, "They just all think that…just forget it, it doesn't matter", Angad whispered. "I just…This is a new chapter in my life, and big, wonderful, and beautiful chapter and I'm so happy. I just, its hurts that my happiness makes so many people angry, that it hurts so many people to the point that they wont even come to my wedding, it really hurts", cried Vedika. "Baby, I love you, and I don't care about how angry it makes anyone, all I care about is that your happy and we're together. Is that enough for you?", he asked. "Of course it is, it's more than enough…but I've always imagined my wedding with my mom, with my friends especially Meem, with everyone being happy and a pretty white dress, and now I don't have a dress or Meem or my mom or anything", said Vedika trying to contain her tears. Angad kept his head down for a while and then said, That's what you want…I promise you Vedika, I'll make your dream come true. This will be your dream wedding…I promise", he said and kissed Vedika lightly. Just then a bell rang and Angad answered the door. "Oh my God, you're here", he yelled out hugging Urvashi. "My baby, how are you Angad", exclaimed Urvashi. Vedika ran hearing the sounds and hugged Urvashi. "Hello, dear bride to be, how are you feeling", asked Urvashi. "Great now that you're here", said Vedika as they all went inside.

Meem had an interview for an internship and Hussein was supposed to pick her up, and he did. "Hello guy", Meem said getting in the car. "How was the interview", Hussein asked strictly "It was okay", Meem replied feeling awkward with Hussein cold behavior. "So what did you do today:, asked Meem trying to start a conversation. "Nothing, just stayed at home", answered Hussein now driving faster. "Okay…what's wrong?", Meem asked. "Nothing", said Hussein, and that was the end of their conversation. Until that is, Hussein pulled up on lot and got out of the car. "Hussein, what's wrong, are you mad at me, or what's the matter", Meem asked screaming out. Hussein took out Meem's phone, "This is what you talk to him on right? You and your lover", he screamed out. "What the hell are you talking about", Meem asked simply bewildered by two things. Firstly Hussein's accusation and second, this was the very first time Hussein raised his voice at her…it scared her, it scared her a lot. There was a look in his eye's that she never saw before…a scary look. "Shazad…this is what you talk to Shazad with right", Hussein said. What he did next made Meem's jaw fall down, he threw the phone off the edge of the highway and it fell into the water. 'What is wrong with you", Meem screamed out. "I loved you Meem, and I told you that over and over…and I knew you still had feeling for Shazad, but I ignored it. I gave you every chance, and every time Shazad got in the middle, ever damn time", Hussein yelled out shrieking. "Hussein, I don't…", Meem was left interrupted with anther one of Hussein outbreaks. "Shut up, just shut your selfish mouth up! I cant it anymore, It cant take you loving him anymore, now its either me or him. And I swear to God…either way I'm going to kill him", he yelled out. Hussein then went into his car and waited 5 minutes for Meem. Meem couldn't move, she just stood there crying, and that's when she realized…she loved him. She loved Hussein, and all these days she was just denying , but now she was sure. Surprisingly, the fear of losing Hussein, made her realize how important he was to her, and yet at this moment, she wanted to be anywhere but near him. "Get in the car so I can drop you home", he yelled out. "No, I'll just take the bus", whispered Meem. "Shut up, and don't show me your damn girly attitude, just get in the damn car", he demanded. Meem got in and Hussein drove her home. The whole ride was fill with silence…not because Meem didn't know what to say, but simply because Meem was Terrified of Hussein at this moment…terrified.

The first thing Meem did once Hussein left her was take her car and drove to the park. Shazad was lying down watching the other kids play since his arm was still fractured. Shazad saw Meem coming and got up and walked to her. "Hey Meem!", he exclaimed. Meem started at him for a minute and then out pure anger and pain slapped him hard. "You know what Shazad, I thought you were I nice guy, I thought you were my friends, but you know what…I was wrong. Not a friend to me or anyone else, your just selfish, inconsiderate and alone! I hope your life stays like that forever", she said with a surprising grace and tenderness. "Meem, what the hell", said Shazad confused. "Go to hell Shazad, and stay there", Meem said and left with her car. Shazad didn't have time to think, because just near them was Kripa and Sahil fighting.

" Get the hell away Kripa", yelled Sahil. "Sahil, don't yell at me Your not my mother, your not my father so stay within your limits. Sahil let out a laugh, "You're the last person who should be talking about limits Kripa, who many guys have you been with this year?", he asked sarcastically. "That's not the point, you cant come and just yell at me…who the hell are you?", she said. " I'm your boyfriend, remember", he yelled out. "Stop fricking screaming at me, you have no reason to be mad okay. I told you everything after I came from Florida", Kripa said. "You told me about Raj, not about the other 500 guys you ***", Sahil said. "Oh, you did not just call me a ***", Kripa laughed ready to punch Sahil just when Shazad came up and stopped her. "Kripa, stop. He's big and strong, and I don't have an arm right now, wait until my caste is off…Kripa, just come with me", Shazad said while pulling her away. "Yeah, take her away", yelled Sahil. Shazad stomped up to Sahil and looked him in the eye and said, "You shut up and consider yourself lucky I didn't tell her about the girls you were with while she was in Florida". "consider that a threat", Shazad added and walked away. Shazad caught up with Kripa. "Thanks, Shazad", Kripa said. "Yeah, what was that about", he asked. "He kind of found out about the other guys I was with in Florida, the ones I didn't tell him about", Kripa murmured out. "Of course he did…well do you blame him for being like that, what you did wasn't right you know", Shazad explained. "Whatever…I really don't care", Kripa said rolling her eyes. Shazad let out a fake laugh, "You know what Kripa. Your not my friend, your not the Kripa I used to know, and your not the Kripa that used to be my friend. And if this is who you've become, than I finally understand why Angad cheated out you on the first place", Shazad said. "Shazad, just walk away", Kripa said with her eye's teary. "No Kripa…how about you just walk away", he said coldly. And Kripa did, she quickly turned so Shazad wouldn't see her tears falling from her brown marble eye's. Kripa ran into her house and to her room. Her empty house, and empty room. It had been so long since she saw her parents, and the funny part was that they lived right there with her. Not once did her mother ever come up to her room to see how she was, not once did her father ever try to understand the funky music she listened too. Not once did they eat together, to watch tv together or even sit silently together. Kripa sat on her bed crying, she'd lost her parents, and Angad a long time ago…but today she lost her best friend, today she lost Shazad. Kripa looked over to a letter that was sent to her my London University. At first she's thought she'd decline the offer, but now…maybe it was time to walk away.

Angad had been working hard all the days to make this wedding Vedika's dream wedding. He made sure everything was perfect to the last petal on the floor. And then the day finally came. The wedding day. Angad was getting dresses and Urvashi came in to help him. "So, are you ready?", she asked. "As ready as I'll ever be Bua", Angad said trying to wear his turban. "You really love her, don't you?" "Yeah I do, I love Vedika more than anything in the world Bua…I've never been happier in my life then I am when I'm with her. But I am a little nervous", he said drifting into dreamland. "Well of course you are, this is your first. And hopefully last wedding", joked Urvashi. "Yeah…hopefully", said Angad laughing. "Well I just want you to know that I'm very proud of you. You made mistakes but today I look at you and see such a loving responsible man, that it makes me proud to be your Bua", she said with tears in her eyes. "Thank you Bua, your more than an aunt…you're my family, and parents and my best friend" Angad said hugging her. "Okay, okay now. So, I'll ask again…Are you ready?", she asked. "Yeah…but I just have to take care of something first", Angad said. "Okay, but hurry, I'll go check and the bride", Urvashi said leaving the room. Angad took a deep breath and took out his phone. Vedika was right, this was the happiest day of his life. It was the bets day, the it would be better if he knew that others weren't hurt by it. Angad dialed the number as fast as he cold before he chickened out. He heard her voice and said, "Hey Kripa…it's Angad". AN din the same nanosecond, Kripa hung up on him without saying a word. Angad looked down for a minute, Vedika was right…it did hurt. Angad's friend came in to tell him that it was time for him to go down, and smiled and forgot about everything and just thought of his bride…boy that sounded good. Angad sat down looking at the thousands of people there in the hall, smiling in joy. The wedding procession began as Urvashi brought Vedika down. She looked beautiful, like a angel. Her dress was a white langa with a touch of pink that match her every jewelry. She had a faint smile on her face, and her cheeks flushed red, and Angad knew it wasn't the blush that made it that way. The ceremony was quickly over, and Angad and Vedika were husband a wife…they were married.

Shazad tried every way to get out of this arranged marriage deal, but there was no way out. The only way was to hope the girl; was understanding and would reject him if he said so. Of course he knew it was very hard to reject him, but with everything with Meem and Kripa, Shazad didn't think it was the right time to be getting married. Shazad caste was off and was happily walking into the house when he saw his parents, and another pair of parents in the den. "Shazad, come beta", said his father. Shazad had never heard his father this happy before. Shazad was introduced to everyone, and then from mist them all a girl came out. A beautiful, sexy girl for a matter of fact. "Shazad, meet Zooni", said his mother. "Hi", said Zooni softly. "Hi", said Shazad bewildered by his fathers amazing taste. Zooni (Anita).

"Hello, hi. This is Kripa Sharma, I'd like to confirm my offer of free schooling in London University.", said Kripa. Yes maybe it was time to move on. Or should she say…move away.

Meem came into Hussein house, and it was a mess. "What?", asked Hussein. "I have to tell you something Hussein, something I should have said long ago", Meem said softly. "What?", Hussein asked again. Meem took a deep breath and said, "I love you Hussein. I really love you and I may not always show it, but I do". Meem had tears rolling down her eyes. Hussein looked at Meem and simply said, "Prove it".

Angad and Vedika were dancing to their first song as husband and wife. Jiya Darak Darak was playing, and id you dream wedding come true?", Angad asked. Vedika laid her head on Angad's chest. "I had a dream yesterday, and dream about out wedding", she said slowly rocking to the soft music. "And what did you see?", he asked. "I saw you…and me" Vedika said. Angad was caressing her hair, "What else?". Vedika smile and kissed Angad. "That's all I saw. My dream wedding it getting married to you Angad Khanna. And I love all that you did for me hear, but all I need and all I want is to be here with you forever, that's my dream", Vedika said. "Well Mrs. Khanna, that isn't a dream…the reality. I love you Mrs. Vedika Angad Khanna, and I will forever and ever", Angad assured Vedika. "Mrs. Khanna…I like that", she laughed and hugged Angad.
