Chapter 13: Past n PresentVirat stood there shaking, he couldnt believe how unlucky he was. He had just been given the one thing he wanted so much in the world and his conscience wouldnt let him take it.
Kissing manvi had been everything he had imagined it would be and more and knowing that she now wanted him as much as he wanted her made it feel even better.
Yet, virat had seen malikas face when he had asked for her hand and he knew that only a heartless monster would break such an innocent heart.
She had been the victim of an abusive marriage before leaving her ex husband josh who had once beaten her up so badly that she suffered severe internal bleeding which left her in a coma for almost a week.
Virat had lost his temper and beat up josh so brutally that josh decided he would never show his face again. A week later, headlines read 'RUTHLESS ROCKSTAR VIRAT VADHERA' where the paparazzi had decided amongst themselves that josh had been an employee at virats company and that virat had beaten him up so terribly for bringing the wrong temperature of water.
Malika and virat had laughed at these allegations, both feeling relieved that she was no longer at deaths door.
In a sense, malika had healed virat as much as he healed her. They had been best friends in the USA and it had been the first time since her break up that Malika had smiled so genuinely with a sparkle in her eyes that virat had not seen there before today.
'sometimes the most perfect eyes are the ones with the most sadness and the most painfilled past' he thought as malika crossed his mind.
Yes, virat knew about the pain of heartbreak and it was a pain too great for it to be inflicted on anyone he loved.
He picked up the black vase that swamini had picked out and slammed it hard on the shiny marble floor, shattering the $800 dollar art piece into smithereens. He smiled momentarily realising that his heart was in many more pieces than he could see on his floor. Suddenly, virat heard his door open. He looked up to see swamini viren jeevika malika and manvi staring at him.
'virat!, are you okay?! ' viren asked looking at his brother expectantly
'yeah bhai, i just knocked it over by mistake' replied virat who was nervously looking at his feet in in the knowledge that it was too easy for viren to catch out any of his lies.
'taruuun!!!' come clean up this mess, virat, try and be more careful next time' said swamini disapprovingly, not noticing viren peering knowingly at his brother.
Jeevika suddenly made her way to virat, hugging him tight
'malika just told us the good news!!, im so happy for you! This is sooo exciting... I know the perfect place to look for a wedding dress' she continued...'so much to do!' she grabbed a beaming malika's hand and led her out of the room nattering about shoes bags and hairstyles.
'im happy that you love her bhai...but i dont think i know her well enough to be honest' viren let out concerned for his brother
'dont you think its a little too rushed?' viren asked as manvi looked on hopefully at the questions being asked
'dont you trust your own brothers decisions?!' virat asked accusingly
'i trust them very well and you know that... But...' viren continued before being cut off by swamini
'i agree wih you viren... We have only met this girl once, we dont know her family name, what she does...we barely know her... Virat, this wont do, your mother will need to meet her a few times before you can even think of marrying her.' swamini stated confidently abusing the power she held in the family
Virat looked over at manvi standing defiantly in the door before putting his eyes firmly back on swamini
'im not calling anything off, me and malika will marry with or without your approval, be it here in the grand vadhera style or somewhere else where you will never see us again' virat threatened.
He noticed manvi widening her eyes as he finished his words...
'well, congrats virat' manvi stuttered... She hid her tears with her glossy hair and left the room hurriedly as viren and swamini looked on at her confused at her presence... Unaware even, that she had been standign there.
'dont get so dramatic bhai!!' viren said worriedly, he didnt want his brother to go away for even a second and would do anything to keep him there
'i trust your decision... Aunt just Have a little faith in virat... He wont disappoint us' viren rushed as he thought of losing his brother again.
'fine, malika will need to prove herself to me and the family... And if she makes any mistake, she WILL be gone'
