" Aunty, I agree to this marriage with Khushi!" said Arnav,while eyeing Khushi intently as the truth of this marriage only he and Khushi knew.
" And You, Khushi?" asked Garima, curiously as both of them entered the house together.
" I too agree to this marriage, Mumma!" said Khushi, in a whispering way, as unknown emotions took over her.
" But why so suddenly this change, Beta?" asked Shashi, as he was confused that his daughter, who never changed her decisions had today changed it, and too in a serious matter as her marriage.
" Dad, I realized that what you were doing is important and Arnav being my best friend, was a suitor without a replacement option." said Khushi, with a smile.
" I am so happy that you changed your decision for good, Beta. Now we have to call the Pandit and finalize the dates for the wedding." said Shashi, happily.
" And Shashiji, this marriage will be one remembered by all. After all, it is the marriage of my only grandson and your only daughter!" said Naniji, suddenly the old age of hers ,going out of the window.
While happiness was all around them, there was just void in their hearts.
Only if he would ward off the fear of his heart.
Only if she could trust their bond completely.
Suddenly, it felt unbearable for Khushi to remain in that atmosphere as it made her feel as if she was betraying everyone including herself.
"Di, Can I use the restroom?" asked Khushi, as she wanted to wash off the tears which were threatening to fall off at any instant.
" Arre Khushiji, why are you taking my permission? It is your to-be sasuraal. Go and do whatever you want. No one will stop you." said Anjali, starting off with her teasing unknown to the fact that it would only hurt Khushi.
Khushi just smiled at her weakly and went to the restroom to freshen herself up.
In the mirror on the wall, she saw Arnav's face instead of hers as if he was asking her why she was betraying everyone.
What would one name the feelings if you find someone's face instead of yours when you look into the mirror on the wall or the mirror of your heart?
Be it either mirror or heart, once it is broken it can never be mended. And no one knew this better than Arnav.
They would husband and wife just for the name but he knew it was just a compromise for them, just an act for them and just a pain for them.
Would they ever come out of this pain?
