Khushi swiped her finger near her eyes, wiping her tears as they now started to flow endlessly. The scene in front of her was unbearable now as Arnav, her Arnav was tying the Holi thread around her sister's neck; Lavanya.
One more tear escaped her eyes but she didn't dare to wipe them and just stared at them as now they stood up for those seven vows which she always wished to have with him.
But all her dreams were crushed now and she was only responsible for it.
Arnav clenched his fist and looked at her. She was standing in a corner staring at them, her tears shined and he gave her a mocking look.
What's the need of crying now? She should be happy. At last she is successful in tying his knot with her sister.
Bloody Hell.
His expressions changed and he now glared in her eyes.
He hates her. Right? This is what he had said her that night.
How he wishes to run away from here but everything seemed impossible, he has filled Lavanya's Maang with the red powder called Sindoor.
He chuckled sarcastically.
Everything is a lie. He know every well.
Khushi sniffed and gulped, wiping her tears.
"Chote what's wrong? Why are you not moving?" asked Anjali in a whisper.
Khushi immediately turned around and sprinted from there as Anjali followed Arnav's gaze.
"Move Chote" said Anjali.
He looked at her and then at everyone and then at Lavanya, looking with a confused smile at him.
Arnav sighed and started to move with Lavanya behind him, they completed the seven vows.
***
Khushi again and again splashed water on her face. What's wrong with her? Why is she behaving so odd?
She looked at herself in the mirror.
"For what, these tears are? she asked herself.
Because, he married Lavanya or because, he wasn't anymore hers.
No, she is crying because she will miss Lavanya after all they have spent twenty two years of their life together.
Yes, she will miss her sister. She made herself clear.
She splashed the water on her face once again. She shouldn't cry anymore, It was her decision and she just doesn't want to regret it.
Arnav is nothing to her anymore, not her friend, not her lover. He is her Jeeja Ji; brother-in-law.
