*Sushant Pov*The way Pia told her answer just got struck to all of us. When she turned to go away we didn’t saw her face but her voice was still ringing in our ears.Nikhila and Arthi followed her after few minutes and then Jaykar’s decided to go home as it is getting really late.“Guys! You all stay in our home for today.” Aunty said and left Pia’s house.Aman followed them but before leaving with them I went to the Pia’s room and immediately informed her that I will meet her later. Then I left her home following Aman.When we reached his room we were all silent and sat on the chairs calmly. Aman started pacing around that too with a big frown on his face.“I know I was harsh on her. But is my decision wrong?” Aman asked looking at us.“Don’t worry Aman. You are totally right.” Dinesh replied patting his shoulder.I rolled my eyes and said “Yeah Dinesh! He is totally right.”They both frowned as each word I said is dripping with tons of sarcasm. I can’t lie to him just because he is
*Arthi Pov*I got ready as soon as I can even though it is just 7am. Today it is very important day for me as I am going to give my first presentation to an important client.I got downstairs and heard the door bell. I opened the door to see Shushant arrived correctly on time.“Hey! I am almost ready. Just wait for two minutes I will go and bring my bag.” Saying this I started going near my bag on the couch.“The meeting is cancelled for today Arthi.” He said following me.“What?” I asked him shocked because I was not expecting that.“Yeah! We have to go next week. I know you will be disappointed that’s why I came here to inform you directly.” He said flopping himself on the couch.I sighed and sat infront of him saying “No! I am not disappointed but I was just nervous from yesterday thinking about my presentation.”“How dare you to feel nervous when you are working for me for the past one year?” He asked glaring at me. I couldn’t help but laugh and he followed my su
*Sushant Pov*“Really? I can’t believe this.” I said to Arthi on the phone.“Yeah! He actually went to Kolkata to meet Pia. And then he got to know that she has a boy friend so now he accepted to marry any girl Dad and Mom chose for him.” Arthi said in one breath.“I am worried for him as he didn’t look like he is happy at all. I don’t want to do anything stupid again so I called you.” She added when I didn’t say anything.“Don’t worry! I will talk to him.” I said but there was smile evident on my face.After that lying incident she is staying away completely from all these. If she wants to do anything she just asks me and I am very happy to be her guide.She is sweet one and loves everyone near her. She is even talented as she proved in my company. I am asking her everytime to go a join in her brother’s company but she is not listening to me.After hanging up I drifted off into sleep as I need to talk to him before he does anything stupid.Next day I went to his house and entered his
*Pia Pov*I entered the company talking to our sponsor with Nikki following me. Immediately when I put the step inside mostly everyone went silent and there are some hushed whispers.When we got inside the elevator I didn’t missed the glares from everyone. I rolled my eyes and continued to talk. While Nikki chuckled from beside me.“Yeah! We are completely ready for tomorrow’s show. There will be no mistakes and everyone will love our work. We assure you.” After talking to him I hanged up and glared at the phone.“We need to have a immediate talk with Mr.Prakash.” I said pressing the top floor button.“Poor him!” Nikki said and I turned to see her controlling her laugh.“I am sure you will enjoy the show Nikki.” I said and stepped out of the elevator when the doors opened.I opened the door of his cabin but not before knocking on it. He looked up hearing the sound of closing door and smiled at us.“Pia! Come on sit down. We need to discuss about tomorrow’s show.”
*Arthi Pov*I looked at the Moon leaning against the car door. I remember the times when we all friends just sit and gaze at it.Pia just used to say something every time we sat like that. But these three years surely changed everything in everybody’s life. Mainly this year is far worse than the before years.Will it be back to normal in any near future? I asked myself and I really don’t have any answer for that question.I turned towards my right side to see my Fiancée driving the car in full concentration. I smiled remembering the way he proposed to me two months back. I never thought he can be so angry and also beat someone like that.When my Mom started to search for grooms for my marriage, he started to talk very little to me and that too only about the company.I met so many but I never felt even a little to think about them. But two months back when I met one he started to misbehave with me. I don’t know from where Sushant came but he just came and beat the hell out of that guy
*Pia Pov*The moment we stepped our foot in Arthi’s house, they dragged both Arthi and Sush for some ritual called ‘Sakhar Puda’. The few girls and boys who seem to be the relatives of both of them kept on saying that name.It is nothing but an informal marking of an engagement by giving a sari and sweets or a packet of sugar to the bride by Sush’s mother but in Marathi style.“I guess they are not going to make them even take a breath from today.” Nikki said looking at them wide eyed.“Yeah! Let’s go to my house and there is a surprise for you.” I said and we were about to step out.But out of nowhere Aunty came and hugged us both that too very weakly. After releasing us she said “You both just forgot all of us. It took you three years to come here right.”“Aunty! We were just busy. Now we are here right.” I said smiling a little.“Are you fine Pia?” She asked frowning.“I am fine.” I immediately replied and then observed her to see she became so thin and there are dare circles below
*Pia Pov*“Hey Arthi!” I said shaking her which I am doing for the past ten minutes. I looked at Nikki to see she is getting ready.It’s 1am and Arthi needs to wake up now otherwise she will get late in getting ready properly.Finally she groaned and opened her eyes. We all just got very few hours sleep and I still don’t know why did they selected this time to get these both married.She went inside the wash room to get ready and then the makeup artist came even at this time of hour. Finally Arthi is ready completely and we all went near the venue together which is quiet near to our houses.After few minutes the groom reached the venue but before he could step inside ‘Seemaan puja’ is conducted in which bride’s parents wash the groom’s feet and shower him with gifts.Sush face was priceless when this all is happening. But I saw that Aunty is kind of in pain when she was bending.“What happened Aunty?” I asked her.“I am fine Pia. Don’t worry!” She replied smiling.I helped her to stan
*Pia Pov*“We will meet soon right? I can meet you when I come to Mumbai right?” Suma asked when a cab stopped infront of us.“Ofcourse! We can meet but in Kolkata as I will return there after few days.” I replied.She nodded and I got inside the cab. When it started to move I waved at her and she waved back smiling. I leaned against the window feeling good that I came here.That day I got angry because I allowed the pain to consume me. It shouldn’t happen again so I tried my best to put up another wall which will make sure that I will not get affected by anything.No matter what happens that will not break and I will make sure of it. With all these thoughts I didn’t saw that the cab has stopped infront of my house.I got down seeing many cars parked near the both houses. I frowned but paid the cab and went inside carrying my bag.I saw Arthi sitting with my Mom and everyone are wearing white color dresses. What is Arthi doing here?“Arthi! What are you doing here? You should be in Pa
