*Prologue*

Khushi was a young lady who stayed inCalcutta.. she was brought up here and stayed with her Buaji.. Her parents diedin a car accident when she was 8 years old.. Khushi has been an obedient childsince then and always listens to what her Buaji Says.. She was extrovert and afree bird and her Buaji was a very wise woman. She always picked the best for Khushias she had no child.. She had never got married. Khushi was quite calm and aquiet person and never argued with Buaji over anything! Whatever she needed wasgiven to her so she was satisfied. Buaji was like her mother. They weren't veryrich. But Buaji worked and earned enough for the two of them!

Khushi had just finished her college and Buajiwas very enthusiastic about getting Khushi married. But Khushi was in no hurry'

Khushi'sPov:

I was inVictoria Memorial off for an evening walk... it was a beautiful place and Iloved going there.. I walked around on the paths full of stones... Then I wentin the garden near the huge lake ... It was beautiful.. the breeze was cool andmy hair was flying.. As it was getting dark I decided to go home.. just thentwo strong arms encircled  my waist and lifted me off the ground! I smiledand rested the back of my head on his shoulder.. He gently placed me on theground and turned me around.. He came close to me my eyes looked at theground.. I was very shy when he came close.. and I smiled..

"Ilove you Khushi.." he said softly..

"Ilove you too Shyam.." I replied.. He was my love.. since college we hadbeen dating and I was going to tell Buaji about Shyam. Shyam wasn't rich.. hisfather was a lecturer and his mother was ill most of the times.. Shyam was mylife at the moment.. I was madly in love with him and he was mine and there wasno one who could seperate us! We were in our own little world. We had no ideahow the society thought! I had no idea what life had in store for me.. but Ijust knew one thing that i would spend my whole life with Shyam.. in his safearms..

I and Shyam talked for sometime he told me that his mother wanted to meet me and I told himthat I would love to meet her too.. That evening when I came home I got thebiggest shock of my life.. Buaji cam and hugged me and congratulated me..

On askingwhy she did so she told me that she had finalised my wedding with a guy in Mumbai!I was almost in shock.. Why did she do this without even asking me.. I feltangry at her..

"Buaji..I love someone else.. I cannot marry the person you chose"

Buaji wasquiet for a moment.. I didnt want to offend her but this was my life!

"What?Why didnt you tell me before?"

"I wasgoing to.. I was just waiting for the right time.. he hasnt proposed meyet!"

"Whatdo you mean? You said you were in love!"

"Yes Buaji..but he hasnt proposed for a wedding yet! Please Buaji just meet him once!"

Buajinodded once..

"Whatis his name?"

"ShyamOberoi"

"Oh..ok.. but if I dislike him?" she questioned.. I wanted to say Ill die.. butinstead I just said,

"Buaji..then whoever you want I will marry him.! You are like my mother and I will notdo something you dont want me to" If Buaji wouldnt have been there my lifewould not be as it is! I was thankful to her and I meant it! How could anyonenot like Shyam! He was so charming and handsome.. and he was a splendid humanbeing !

"Good..Call him now! I want to meet him now. So that if I like him I can refuse themfor marriage.."

I called Shyamup.. he picked up in the first ring..

"HiSweety! Missing me already?"

"Shyam..Can you come over immediately?"

"Whatswrong honey?"

"Buajiwants to meet you!"

"Oh!Sure. Ill be over in a sec!"

I smiled tomyself thinking how much he loved me..

"Buajihe is coming!"

Shyamarrived in 5 minutes and I opened the door for him and showed him the way tothe living room.. He came and had a seat. He wore a T-shirt and a pair ofjeans.. Buaji came and sat down next to him.. he didnt make any gesture ofrespect.. he just sat there..

"Touchher feet" I whispered !

Buaji shotme an angry glance and ordered me to go inside.. I couldnt say no so I quietlywent to my room and started to wonder what they would be talking abt.. I wasfidgetting with my dupatta and trying to calm down.. It was just impossible.. Ithought of going out to check but didnt have the courage to do somethingagainst Buaji's will..

After tenminutes Buaji entered my room..

I lookedbehind her to see if Shyam was still there!

"Youchose him Khushi?" Buaji said in complete shock.

What wentwrong i wondered.. what happened between them. How come Buaji didnt like Shyam..this couldnt be happening..

"Whathappened Buaji?"

"Khushihe is CHEAP and A Ridiculous person. He doesnt care about anyones feelings.. heis very selfish.. he will never keep you happy Khushi!" she shook her headin disgust..

My worldcame crashing down in front of my eyes.. Shyam wasnt this bad.. How can Buajijudge him in the first meeting! This isnt how I had planned it would be.. howcan i marry someone else. What will happen? No.. I cannot let this happen..

"BuajiI love Him!.." I begged..

"No Khushi!Its about your life.. and I know who is right for you.. this person whom Ichose Is perfect.. he works hard and respects his elders.. im sorry Khushi youcannot marry Shyam"

 Ididnt argue.. i was in no state to do so.. She left the room and I sank to thefloor.. I was in complete shock.. till evening my life was amlost perfect andnow suddenly THIS... My life was ruined.. i loved him soo much and now I wouldhv to marry someone else.. How could I do that! I cried and cried but Buajididnt even listen to me..

Even duringdinner I tried to convince her but she said nothing.. I had never seen Buaji sostrict.. she seemed upset with my choice.. My eyes were red and swollen and Icouldnt sleep at all..

Nextmorning she came into my room early and woke me up..

"Khushiget up.. he is going to come today to see you!"

Listeningto that I jumped up in bed..

"Buaji..why are you doing this to me?"

"ListenKhushi, I know you love him and what love means to you.. but he is not a goodperson for you! You will never be happy with him and he doesnt even love you!Imsure you will stay happy with the person i chose!!"

"Buaji..please dont do this..!"

"No Khushi.. this time im not going to listen to a word of yours.. The person Ihave chosen is right for you! Shyam doesnt deserve you! Please stop crying forhim..."

I didntreply.. I just had to do what Buaji said.. My life was over.. i had thoughtabout this teh whole night. And i came to a conclusion that I will marrywhoever Buaji chose.. but my heart only has Shyam in it and it will not bereplaced by anyone other than him!

"lookat yourself.. go freshen up and get ready!"

Iobediently got up of bed and went to the bathroom to freshen up.. I had nothingto tell her.. It was just over.. maybe I will never come to know what happenedbetween Buaji and Shyam that evening.. I hadnt even talked to Shyam.. thinkingabout him I thought of telling him the news. But I changed my mind.. What if hebroke down like I did.. If I just left without telling him maybe he would moveon in life.. I never want anything more than his happiness!
