Part 1
"Baba, what did the Walia family say about Rasshi's marriage with their son Sahil?" I asked my father the moment he arrived home from Walia mansion. I've heard that Walia family have two mansions one in Mumbai where they live and one in Mt. Abu which they hardly stay in…. my father touched my shoulders before he spoke.
"Bani, they have agreed for the marriage but", I interrupted my father "but what?" I asked my father. Before answering my question he stared at my mother's picture before he spoke "they asked for your hand in marriage with Sahil's Mamaji".
Only thing I could say or react was "what", making sure if I heard correctly "Baba, please tell me" tears started to make their way down my face and I choked on what to say while I spoke with my father "you are joking with me because I don't like this joke at all… Baba"
My father touched my head than left toward his room and I broke down crying hard on the floor of our living room.
Two in the morning, I woke finding myself sleeping on the floor of the living room. I don't know how long I cried for but I know that if I say "no" than Rasshi's life will be ruined and destroyed.
I couldn't sleep entire night thinking about whose heart to break… my sister's heart or the love of my life's heart. There are so many questions flowing in my mind regarding why they pick me as the bride for Sahil's Mamaji. He must be similar to my father's age than why is he interested in marrying me. I am only 23 and I want to enjoy my life with Karan who I love more than anything in my life other than my family. I should have warned Rasshi about physical relationship before she entered college than nothing like this would have happened.
I heard a knock at my door before Rasshi opened it….
"What do you want?" I asked her in frustration because I was still mad at her for crossing her limits before marriage.
"I'm sorry Sis" she began to cry in front of me.
"Why are you crying now?" I asked her
I looked at my younger sister Rasshi while she spoke "because of me" she started to say, while guilt took over her.
"Rasshi, we will talk about this later and I promise you that I won't disappoint you or Baba." I told her and she stared at me for model support which she needed badly but I was still upset with her indirectly so I asked her to leave my room or I fear of slapping her.
I watched Rasshi leave my room….
Six in the morning, I woke up which wasn't like a normal wake up for me. I took a mini shower before heading down to the kitchen. I made breakfast for me, Baba and Rasshi. It was a quiet meal than usually. Baba told me that Sahil's Mamaji wants to meet me at his office at lunch hour. I simply asked my father where he works and I knew the answer pretty well but still wanted to be sure.
I nodded my head than left for college, where Karan is waiting for me like always. I don't know how will I face him but I have to be straight forward with him. I know I will break his heart but I can not break my sister's heart or ruin her life.
"Bani, why are you late today?" Karan asked me with concern.
"Karan let skip class today because I need to talk with you related about our future and my sister's life" I asked Karan with hope.
"Sure sweetie" he told me.
I hopped onto his motorbike… I let the wind touch my face… it felt great with tears making there way down my face. I hugged Karan from behind in fear of loosing him.
He parked the motorbike… we talked and talked for hours. Karan shouted at me for being a sacrificing queen.
"Karan there's no other way than agreeing with their condition regarding Sahil and Rasshi's marriage. I know I am hurting you and mostly myself, but there's no other way than going through this wedding but I need your supporting in life. Also I want you to stand by my side during the rituals taking place in my life." I cried in his arms while he hugged me tightly in fear in his arms.
My cell rang which broke us apart….
"Hello" I replied back
"Hello, this is Sahil's Mamaji and I was wondering if we could meet now instead of 12:00pm because I need to reach Mumbai asap" he asked me.
"I can't promise but I will try too" I replied back before hanging the phone.
