😊PART 4😊
Dear Diary,
Today was full on drama just like Hindi serial! It all started from me getting dressed in a pink salwar suit which was beautiful but casual. Once I was finally ready, I waited for UV to come. I heard commotion and thought UV had come so I made my way to the entrance only to be startled by seeing Akash and his parents coming inside the mansion. Akash looked at me and smiled and I smiled back and felt guilty. I do I tell him that I don't love him? We all made our way to the living room. By now, all the members of my family were there except no UV. I was wondering why they were here. DS welcomed them to the mansion and asked one of the servants to bring tea and snacks for our guests. Papa was upset with how polite DS was being with Akash and his parents.
Once the tea and snacks have been served, DS asks them why they were here, this is when Akash's dad said he was here to ask my hand for marriage to Akash. Everyone was as shocked as me. DS looked slightly upset when she turned to look at me. Papa left the living room and JN was smiling. I was about to say something when I noticed UV standing in the doorway with a dark look on his eyes. When he noticed me looking at him, he did not even smile but just said one word 'Congratulations' and I could see the hurt and pain in his voice and eyes. I immediately stood up and shouted 'NO!' as loudly as I could. Everyone stared at me with astonished looks, Papa heard me and came back into the living room, JN's smile vanished, DS started to smile and UV was still shocked.
I looked at Akash who had an hurtful expression on his face, it broke my heart but I had to tell him now so I said 'Sorry Akash, I cannot marry you, because I have realised that I do not love you, and I cannot disgrace my family's reputation by marrying you. Please try to understand, I-' 'STOP!' shouted Akash. He took my hand and said 'I know you love me and the only reason you are saying these things is because they-' Akash pointed at my family, '-are making you say these things, they are forcing you to marry that good-for-nothing UV, but Moniya after we get married we will leave and you will never have to be a princess again'. I freed my hands from his and looked him in the eye, I was very angry and upset that he wanted to separate me from my family 'Akash, my name is Manyata, and I will never stop being a princess. I do not want to leave my family, how can you think that for you I would leave my Maa, Papa and DS? And please believe me when I say that I do not love you, I never have, it was just a crush, I like you, I consider you a good friend, nothing more, and this is me saying it, not anyone else. I am very sorry.' Akash took a few steps back and hit the sofa, which caused him to fall back, he had tears in his eyes. I was feeling so guilty.
This is when Akash's mother turned towards me and grabbed my arm and said 'I knew you would do something like this, I tried to explain to him that you will change, become like one of them, heartless. Are you happy with yourself, for you he got beaten up, he was sent to jail, he lost his job and we got kicked out of our home and he still waited for you for 3 months and this is how you repay him? I have never seen a more selfish girl in my life, God will punish you, ALL OF YOU!' She then pushed me backwards and I was about to fall backwards when UV caught me in time. I looked up to see a worried expression on his face. I was on full crying mode, Akash's Ma's words stabbed me in the heart. Was I that Heartless? Papa got angry 'How dare you try to hurt my daughter, leave this mansion at once before I have you all thrown out!' Maa was trying to calm Papa down. I was still in UV's arms, I felt safe there. Akash looked at us and then at UV and his hands turned into fists.
Before I knew what was going on, Akash had reached us, pulled me apart from UV and punched UV in the face on jaw and UV started bleeding. I screamed stop at Akash but he was not listening. UV and Akash were fighting now. Papa had called the guards who threw Akash out of the mansion and escorted Akash's parents out the mansion too. I reached UV and just before Akash left he screamed 'I will get you back Moniya, you'll see!' I started to cry again, which is when UV hugged me and said everything will be Ok, I won't let Akash hurt you. As I pulled back from the hug I noticed the blood near his jaw and started to freak out. I called the servants to bring a first aid kit and Doctor saab came and stopped the blood and made him sit down so that he can put some cream on those bruises. DS and Papa said I have made the right decision and both hugged me. Maa came said if I am happy with this decision then she is too. Doctor saab and Mamiji also praised me for my decision.
I went to sit next to UV and asked how he was. He looked up at me with curious eyes, I was sitting very close to him for the first time, and asked 'what made you change your decision to marry Akash, it can't have just been what the family wants, you said you don't love him, so do you love somebody else, princess?' He had started to smile but the pain in his jaw stopped him. This made me laugh. He looked at me with the dark eyes that looked lost in something so I said 'Kya Hua?' and he replied 'You' I finally understood what that meant, so it made me blush and look away from him. Just than JN came and said 'So Jiji, why the sudden change?' you could clearly tell that she was upset with me. I replied 'I realised what true love is, and it was not Akash' Then I looked at UV and smiled. JN got annoyed and left. UV smiled at me and leaned in to say 'So princess what is true love?' I pushed him away and stood up 'that is for me to know and for you to find out' I loved teasing him, before he could get up I ran to my room and locked the door. I was heavily blushing. The plan was to tell him that I love him, but then I realised normally the man say's it first so Why should I say it first?
Even Akash had said it first. This thought brings back the events of the day which lead to another crying session. I eventually stop crying and decided that crying was not going to take away the pain I gave to Akash and his family and the pain I gave to my family and UV for being with Akash for so long. I have decided from now on I will bring lots and lots of happiness to my family and UV rather than the pain that they had to go through due to me and Akash. From this moment my new life starts. Wish me luck Diary.
Bye.
