Happily Ever After-- Part 20--pg24

It had never rained like this in years. The rain beat heavily on the ground. The room was dark and the only sound that could be heard was that of the heavy rain outside. Neha sat by the window, with her knees pulled into her chest and her arms wrapped around them. She was rocking back and forth, bitting her lower lip. The room's dusky atmosphere refelected Neha's thoughts which were just as unclear. She was only eighteen and getting married tomorrow.

As everyone else slept, Neha sat up, trying to remind herself why she had said yes to marry a man, she had never met, but only seen a picture of. However, Shiv Khanna was not a stranger to her. She knew a lot about him, if fact all the girls in the city knew a lot about him. Shiv Khanna, the most eligible bachelor of the city, would never date again, because tomorrow he was getting married to Neha Kapoor. Why had he said yes to marry a girl he had never met and never even seen a picture of?

Was it because like Neha, he could not see his father heartbroken and face the disappointment in his eyes? Or was it that the Khanna family like the Kapoor family was under a financial burden. But that couldn't be it because the Khanna family was one of the richest families in town. Was it because Shiv felt obligated to fulfill his Grandfather's dying wish to see his grandson married to the grandaughter of his best friend? Whatever the reason was the truth was that Neha Kapoor and Shiv Khanna were getting married tomorrow.

Shiv Khanna who had never had a steady girlfriend for more than seven days was going to be bound to a girl for the next seven life-times. And Neha Kapoor who had so far led life in the shadow of her sisters was about to be put under the lime-light.

PART 2

Neha woke up stretching her arms towards the ceiling and then brought them back down to rub her eyes, in order to get them to open. She finally dragged herself out of bed. The sun shined in brightly as she drew the curtains of her room. She looked out the window and found the sky absolutely clear, anyone looking at the sky now would have never guessed how heavily it had rained the night before. The only sign of the rain were the raindrops on the leaves that now glittered under the sunlight. Neha stood, looking out the window, and thinking how the weather had been just as unpredictable as her life. One minute she was deciding what major to choose for college, and the next moment her family was preparing for her wedding.

After Neha had showered she stood in front of her bathroom mirror wiping of the steam. As her face appeared in front of her she started to smile. Even though it was true that she had always dreamed of a love marriage, why did this arranged marriage have to be a bad thing. Her parents had had an arranged marriage too, and if there was one thing Neha was sure of, it was her parent's love for each other and their three daughters. If her parents had managed to find love in their arranged marriage, so would she.

"Neha! Neha! Open the door! Oh my Gosh, open the door Neha!" Neha's mom, Anjali Kapoor, yelled standing outside Neha's bathroom, as she frantically knocked on the door.

"What is it mom?" Neha came out of the bathroom, with a frown on her face. Neha's mom almost fell in as Neha opened the door. Neha walked past her mom, ignoring her and went to sit on her bed. Her mom had been acting like this for a week now, ever since it had been decided that it would be Neha marrying Shiv instead of Shewta. Shewta was Neha's older sister and she had bluntly refused the marriage proposal, saying it just did not fit into her "life-plan". Neha's father, Sunil Kapoor, had then turned to his second daughter, Neha, who had could not give an excuse like her sister, as she was clueless, about her plan for the next day even.

"Oh my goodness Neha, what are we going to do?" Anjali cried.

Neha rolling her eyes at her mom, replied back sarcastically, "what the flower-man has not shown up? Or the maid is refusing to cook?" Neha didn't mean to mock her mom, but Anjali was just too melodramatic about everything.

Neha's mom was now crying loudly, seeing this Neha got worried. She went to her mother and cupped her face with the palms of her hands. "What is it mom? Is everything okay?" Neha asked, extremely concerned, and worried. Everyone knew that Anjali was always making things bigger than they were but Neha knew her mom would not be crying like this unless it was something big.

Anjali looked up at Neha, "O Neha, they can't find Shiv anywhere. He has runaway. If he doesn't show up till five o'clock we will have to call off the marriage and..." Neha's hands suddenly turned ice cold, even though Anjali continued to talk Neha could no longer hear her. Only one question kept repeating in Neha's mind, "was she happy or sad?"

Where could Shiv have gone on the day of his marriage? Has he actually runaway? Will this marriage take place?

Hope you enjoyed this part...it gets better hehe😃
