Roses are red
My heart is sad
A smile from you
Will make me glad...

I heard people around me and not to forget my own sisters burst into laugh after hearing this boring joke from Sanjay, my cousin who was the world biggest flirt ever, had I not known him too well then by now he would have been on the hospital bed with his face broken, actually with his whole body broken and crying in pain. I shot him a glare who sat on his knees in front of me laughing his head off. "Sanjay, you better shut up before I show you sun in the day" I said as it was night already so saying showing him starts at night would only mean more of pulling my legs, and he was one of them who wouldn't leave a single chance to irritate me with his stupid comments and flirt.
"Muski since its my day today I gave him the fullest permission to do what he likes to do and with whomever he wants to do" I heard Neha di say, who was till now being the shy bride and keeping shush. "oh is it Di" I asked.
Neha- yup.
"Di you better shut up before I mess up your beautiii" before I could finish my sentence I was interrupted by Sanjay again as he said:
"Life is very short,
so break silly rules.
Forgive quickly,
Believe slowly,
Love truly,
Laugh loudly &
Never avoid anything that makes you smile..

Goodness why did I even came here, I shouldn't have come here, if I had known this all would be happening and this Sanjay would also be coming to this party I would have never agreed to come. Yes we had came for the reception party. Even mom and Bahi had agreed for me to not come here, but my two evil sister had to poke their nose into this whole thing and they had finally succeed in tricking me into this whole thing for the sake of Neha telling me that since I will be going to UK in less than two weeks I shouldn't miss all this etc, etc. I just wanted to leave from here before the whole thing get out of my hand as I remember the last time encounter with Sanjay where he had started out with all this and then had me dance with him in Suman di Marriage reception, which frankly speaking was fun for me, but this time I know for sure it won't be fun at all because since the time I had came here there was something different in Aman behavior, and with Sanjay talking all this and getting more close to me was something he didn't approved of which can be clearly seen in his eyes.
"Sanjay stop it now, this is getting too much now" I said.
"haye, your voice is to die for" Sanjay replied as winked at me.
Neha- ohhh, Muski this is the best chance you will ever get to kill, but wait wait not by hands but only with your voice" hearing that I smiled but not with what Di said but by thinking if I could kill him right now with my bare hands and get it done with him for once and all then everything will be so fine and good for me.
If I Get your Smile
I Dont Need Flowers..
If I Get yourVoice
I Dont Need Music..
If you Speak To Me
I Dont Need Anybody Else..
If you Are "MY"
I Dont Need The World..!

This was what I heard Sanjay say breaking my thoughts and when I turned to look at him I saw him sitting in front of me with this head bend down and there was a complete silence there. "Sanjay" I said to get rid of the silence their as everyone eyes were only on us. "Sanjay please stop all this" I whispered to him.
Sanjay- ok ok I will but before that you will have to give the reply to my...
before he could fishes I interrupted him asking "reply to what"
Sanjay- my earlier proposal
"Sanjay please this is not the time to talk on that topic, please" I said.
Sanjay- then forget it I will not stop
"Sanjay please everyone is looking at us, please" I pleaded.
Sanjay-
"then tell me are you going to be with meee" before he could say I placed my hand over his mouth and shushed him eying to not utter a single word to which he just made a baby face, I smiled and removed my hand off of his face and pushed him and left from there but was stopped in mid as he said "should I take that as I yes" I turned to look at him and nodded in no at first then nodded in yes and left smiling at his childish act as He jumped around hugging Di like a baby.
********
"Bahi I want to go home" I said as I pulled him aside to a corner.
Sanjeev- this soon.
"Bahi I said I want to go home now mean now" I said sternly.
Sanjeev- ok ok we will go but after a little while.
"fine then you stay here I will go myself" I said frustrated and was about to go when Bahi held my hand stopping me and said "is there anything bothering you" I nodded in no and said "its ok bahi you stay here I will just go myself"
Sanjeev- no no you wait I will come with you, I will just go and let Dad know
"No bahi its ok you stay here I will go, and anyway people will be asking for you and if they don't find you here then it won't look good, I will take the car and send it back" I said.
Sanjeej- are you sure everything is fine.
"yes Bahi everything is fine, I am just tired and you know I can't stand all these noise and this much people" I said.
Saneev- ok fine you go I will tell Maa you weren't feeling good
"Thanks bahi, love you, you're the best" I said as I gave him a hug.
"and you're the bestest" he said hugging me back.
********
As soon as I reached home I ran to my room crying, after telling the driver to go back to the party. Had I known if anything that had happened there would happen then I would have never gone, no I should have known it, how can I just trust him to be a saint and just forget everything and just move on with Di, I shouldn't have gone there. I can't stay here anymore it will only create problems for di if I stay here. I have to go from here ASAP, if that meant to lie to everyone then I will do that too, after what happened in the party I can't risk of being here any longer. I thought to myself as my thought went back to what had happened after I had left from the conversation of Sanjay's
Flashback:
"shhh" I heard him say placing his fingers on my lips as he pulled me into a lone place.
"Aman what are you doing leave me" I said snapping away his fingers off of my lips.
Aman- what the hell was all that
"What are you talking about" I questioned back to him, to which he twisted my hand in the back hurting me. "Aman what are you doing, you're hurting me, please leave me, someone will see us" I said as I struggled to let my hand free from him.
Aman- who was the boy, what proposal was he talking about.
"That is none of your business, its between us you are no one to know anything that we talk about" I said snapping away, I was hell tired of him and his behavior, how many times do I have to make myself clear to him that he is no one to say anything in my life, he has nothing to do with me and what I do but no he has to come in and say and question me in whatever I do, who the hell does he think of himself and why the hell does he have to poke his nose in everything I do."Are you done with your questions" I asked.
"don't take this as a joke but an ultimate warning from you" He spoke with an authorizing tone, which somewhere did send shiver down in my body with fear. "Aman leave me" I said pleading.
"I will but only after..."
"after whaa" before I could question me he placed his fingers back on my lips and turned me facing my back to him and pulled me back till my back touched his chest. "Aman" I whispered out in shock feeling his hand sliding on my waist as he hugged me from back resting his chin on my shoulder. "What the hell are you doing Aman" I asked, but instead of giving answer to my question I felt his hand on my neck and then I felt him removing my hair to one side of my shoulder. "Aman leave me" I said trying to push him back but his hold around me only tighten "Aman" I screamed feeling his lips trail down on the nape of my neck. Tears welled in my eyes feeling helpless in front of him. Nor could I have screamed aloud or else it would have only gathered people eyes on us and then it would have only created a big misunderstanding between me and Di. "I hate you, you just disgust me Aman" I cried.
Aman- you never said you love then how can i take your hating seriously
"I wish Maa and Di hand just listen to then all this would have never happened, you wouldn't have got the guts to do all this taking the advantage of my situation, nor would I have to be this helpless in front of you"
"what am I doing, till now nothing, nothing that should happened between a girl and boy, I mean what lovers do, but I can't promise you that I won't do anything to you if you break..." he left his sentence in mid as he turned me facing him in a swift, I raised my hand to slap him but before it could touch his cheek he held my hand in mid and pushed me between the wall and himself. "don't think I will easily let you go Muskan, I agree I didn't marry you but that doesn't mean that I don't love you now just because I got married to your sister, just keep this in mind Muskan, the day, the day I find out that there is someone else other than me in your life then that will be the last day of your life. after that whatever will happen you will be responsible for all, and whatever was happening down there with that boy should never be repeated and if I ever see you again with HIM then it won't be good for you or for your sister"
"What will you do leave her, then leave her I think that will be best for her and her future life at least she won't have to face your betrayals even after what she did for you"
"tch...tch...tch, I pity your thinking muskan, how can I leave her after all she is my mom wish, and my key to you, if you don't want your sister to be hurt then you will have to do everything I tell you to do" Aman said as he traced his fingers on my face, and stopped at my chin and held it in his forefinger and in a jerk pulled my face up bringing it near his. "don't think that I will fall for your tricks, do whatever you want to do, but remember one thing Aman I will not be a puppet of your hand, you think that I am weak but you're wrong, I live my life by my own rules not by others"
"This time you will do exactly as to what I say Muskan, starting from now and this moment" with that saying he moved his face toward me while tears flow from my eyes falling weak in front of him was never what I wanted but just the thought of Di came across my mind I was left being only helpless. "Do whatever you want to but just remember one thing you can't use Di to get your way to me"
"we will see about that later but for now I want my wedding gift, from my Sali aka adhi ghar-wali and from my love of my life.
"just because you married my sister and you think will make any relation with me then you are wrong, so don't cross your limit Mr. Aman and move off of me"
"Then give me my gift Sali ji since you won't be giving me a gift like my love and then I will move off of you"
"you have lost your mind"
"till now I haven't, trust me the day I lose my mind will be the end of your life and the beginning of ours togetherness, and trust me after that you won't be able to show your face to anyone not even to your own family, and I promise to you, you will be left all alone, there won't be anyone not even your own sister and brother will be left in your life except me"
"that day will never come, and before that day will come I will embrace death before you"
"I hope too Muski, you see I love you, and you being the love of my life I won't tolerate anyone close to you and the day you decided to bring in someone in your life will be the day of you being mine"
"This is my life not yours, so it will be I who will decided whom I will let in my life, who will not be in my life, and your name comes first in the list of NOT" I spat on his face.
"you still don't know Me Muskan do you, you see I get what I want, but with you I like your confidence and trust me it will be worth seeing my love helpless in front of me and I don't mind seeing you breakdown"
"I promise you Aman even if you get the whole world against me, you won't see me helpless or breaking down" saying that I pushed him and ran from there.
Flashback Ends:
********
"I will kill whoever is out their ringing the bell nonstop" I muttered to myself as I went to open the door. "Coming" I shouted as I reached to open the door. "What the Heee" I said opening but was frozen at the mid seeing the person who stood in front of me. "AMAN" I said unsure if he was here or not and if he is they why is he here when he was suppose to be present in the reception party. "What are you doing here" I asked.
"forget about me you tell me why did you leave the party like this"
Don't tell me he has the guts to come at home leaving the party after what had happened in the party. "Aman just leave from here" I said and was about to close the door when he placed his hand in mid and with the force opened the door and walked in. "Aman just leave before I do something to you" I warned him as I took my steps back.
"why did u leave the party"
"That is none of your business" I said.
"why got scared of what I said"
"What you did and said to me was not new to me Mr. Aman Mathura, I don't except anything good to be hearing or happening from you" I said.
Aman- why I don't think whatever I did was wrong, I just gave you a warning, that is all" with that saying he moved forward and held me by waist pulling me toward him. "Just leave me alone" I said trying to shrugged him of off me.
"You are sick Aman you are sick" I said.
"And what were you doing with HIM" Aman said angrily.
"That is none of your business Aman, whatever is it, its between us, you have nothing to do with it" I snapped back pushing him back. "What the hell do you want, why are you doing this Aman, first you tricked my Di to marry you and now your cheating on her, why Aman why" I asked. "I wish Maa and Di had listen to me and had never agreed to this marriage then you..."
"Then I what" Aman said cutting me in mid.
"Then you wouldn't have gotten this much of courage to cross your line, nor would I have any problem in handing you over the police" I shouted back.
He was about to say something when his phone ring, I saw his expression change and I knew he was not at all happy with the call but still he received the call:
One side conversation:
"Maa I came for an important work...Yes will be their shortly...don't worry Ma, I have told Neha where I am going she knows about it" hearing that I was left numb and after that what he talked on the phone I couldn't hear it as I was left in my own thoughts thinking Di knew he is coming here and still she didn't stop him, what did he had said that Di or anyone else didn't question him of coming here. I have told everything to Bahi and Maa and after all that they still didn't stopped him. I was so lost in my own thought that I didn't even realized when he was off of the phone and when he came so close to me that I when I looked up his lip brushed on my head making me go stiff disgusted at my own self and a guilt came over me of being the reason for all this, had I not been in all this then my Di would have been never cheated. She would have gotten a men who truly loved her and not use her like this men is doing it for his happiness. "You really don't care of what Di did for you do you Aman" I asked coldly.
"I am not here to talk about Neha"
"Well then you should leave now before I call the cops and trust me this time I won't back out from calling cops because I have had enough of you and now I truly wish that Di finds out what are your true intentions behind this marriage of yours"
"don't worry your Di will never find out about this, I promise you anyway forget all that coz right now I am not here to talk about your Di or anyone else"
"then why are you even here"
"to give you this" saying that he held my hand pulled it toward him and placed a key on my hand, I gave him a questioning look and before I could open my mouth to question he answered it saying "this is where I want you to stay when you go to UK, I don't want you to stay anywhere else other than this place"
Ok he have seriously lost it I thought to myself, how many times do I have to make myself clear to him and my decision to him, but no it like he doesn't even hear what I have said to him, or he just don't seem to listen to what I say. This time I didn't gave him any answer instead I took my phone and dialed the cops number saying "Aman if you don't leave this place within the next 60 second then whatever will happen with you don't blame me for it because I am on the line with the cops now"
I rolled my eyes seeing the smirk on his face, and thought does he care about anything or not, doesn't he care about what will be the consequence if I call the police which I was surly going to.
"Jaan I am going for now as I really have to back in the party, but don't worry I will be back tomorrow to see you"
"tomorrow you will not find me here or anywhere" I said to myself as I looked at the keys that lay on the table. I didn't know should I be cursing my destiny or what, because whatever was happening was happening because of me only, and right now Neha happiness was at stake also because of me, and before because of me her happiness turns into pain and sorrow I have to leave from here to a place where he can reach me.
