All were running here n there doing last minute arrangements; Gupta mansion was decorated beautifully with flowers and curtains. Barat will arrive any moment; guests has already started to come.

A girl in early 20's was sitting in her room in front of the mirror in her red bridal lehenga with heavy jewelries. She was looking the most beautiful bride of the world. She had a beautiful smile plastered on her face but if someone looked carefully then they would see that the smile didn't reach her eyes at all because this this was not what she had dreamt her wedding to be; but this is the best she can do at this moment for her love ones rather than her own dream.

" Khushi "

She turned around only to find her Badi Maa, Garima Gupta standing behind. She instantly went to her Badi Maa; hugged her and cried silently in her embrace.

Garima gently caressing Khushi's hair consoling her " Khushi, I'm sorry for all this. I know you never ever thought of this marriage. Your dreams and expectations are something else " sighed " Khushi, abhi bhi der nahi hui hai beta. If you are not ready for this marriage then we can just call it off. Nothing is more important than your happiness to us " with tears in her eyes

Khushi came out from her embrace and her heart cried seeing guilt in her Badi Maa's eyes " Badi Maa, why are you feeling guilty for no reason. Trust me I'm very much happy. I was crying because I'm going to miss you aur Bade Papa "

Garima " Khushi, you can't lie to me. I know you always want a love marriage "

Khushi " Badi Maa, there are so many marriages in which Love happens after marriage may be same thing is written in my destiny too "

Garima " Do u really think that he'll Love you, Khushi ? Do you think he'll give you that place in his heart which he had given to Meera ? "

Khushi " I don't know snd I don't want to think about it also. All I know if I destine to his love then I will make my place in his heart "

Garima " Is this your last decision, Khushi ? "

Khushi slowly nodded her head " Yes Badi Maa "
