Nothing Without You
Avyaansh's POV
Right now, I can't explain my feelings, I never thought that my wish would get completed this early. My angel, she will be my wife. God! Now I am sure that I am your favorite child.
Tomorrow we'll go to her home to talk about our wedding; I can't sleep because of the excitement!
Author's POV
In Preeti's house:
Shweta is calling her elder brother to talk about Preeti's wedding. Mr. Ashok Kumar. He lives abroad and he was not involved in Disha's wedding, because Disha's mother and Father eloped.
That's why no one except Shweta supported her but their elder brother is very respectable in the family, everyone asks him before doing anything and no one denies his decision.
She called him, feeling nervous about his decision. He picked up " Hello Shweta, how are you?" He asked.
" I am fine, bhaiya; how are you and everyone?" She said.
" Everyone is fine, you say what do you wanna talk about?" He asked.
" That bhaiya, you know our Disha got married in a very nice family, and her younger brother-in-law, they want him to marry our Preeti," Shweta said in a tense tone.
" No," he said sternly.
" B-but why bhaiya!? They are very good, Preeti will be very happy there"
" I had promised my friend that I'll marry my niece to his son, and also, I don't want two cousin sisters in the same family; there will be jealousy and conflicts between them," he said, and Shweta was just listening.
" We'll talk about Preeti's marriage when I'll come to India," He said and hung up.
Shweta was disappointed, but she had no other choice. His brother trusted her, and after her divorce, he was a big support. She couldn't go against his words.
" They will come tomorrow; I'll have to tell them that this wedding can't happen," She said to herself.
The next morning, Singhanias woke up, and Avyaansh had woken up before everyone else; in fact, he didn't sleep last night in excitement.
Everyone had their breakfast and then went to get ready in their rooms.
Disha was in her room, deciding what to wear.
She had a tense expression on her face, which Reyaansh noticed.
" What happened?" He asked.
She turned and looked at him," I don't know, what should I wear? Saree or Anarkali frock?" She said and Reyaansh smiled.
" You are getting tensed on just this small matter," he said.
" This is not a small matter; leave it, you won't understand," She said.
" Wear a Saree, it suits you," He said and went to the washroom.
Disha blushed at this, then started selecting a Saree for herself; after some moments, she chose a simple yet elegant lavender tissue saree.
She went into the closet to wear it, and after struggling for some minutes, she wore the Saree, which looked ravishing.
Reyaansh exited the washroom wearing his cream color shirt, pairing it with caramel pants. He turned to go to the closet for his accessories.
As he reached the door, his steps halted looking at his beautiful wife. He didn't realize when his steps started taking him towards her.
He stood behind her; she also looked at him through the mirror; they were looking at each other, and then Disha averted her gaze and cleared her throat to make him come to his senses.
He realized what he was doing. Then he averted his gaze downwards but regretted it instantly as he looked at her back. She was not wearing a complete backless blouse but it was a little backless with two strings hanging untied.
He averted his gaze from there too, feeling more nervous. Disha got confused by his behavior; then it hit her that she hadn't tied the strings.
Her eyes widened at that; she was feeling embarrassed, but then she felt something about her. She looked to the mirror and saw him tieing her strings, looking directly into her eyes through the mirror.
He tied them in haste, not even looking at them. Disha muttered a ' thank you' he nodded.
After that none of them said anything and started wearing their accessories.
As soon as everyone got ready, they came to the hall. Where Avyaansh was already present, they laughed at his excitement.
" Bhai itni bhi kya jaldi thi?" Asked Anahita teasingly.
( Bro why so early?)
" Jaldi kaha hai? Aap sab log bohut late ho" Avyaansh replied.
( I am not early, you guys are late)
" Now hurry up, please," Avyaansh said, and they all laughed.
Soon, they left in their cars, and everyone was content to see Avyaansh. As they reached there, they quickly came to the door and knocked.
Shweta opened the door with a tense smile. She welcomed them, they were seated on the sofa.
Preeti was already standing in the living room, in a simple green Anarkali frock.
Disha went to her " What are you doing here!? You should have come after calling" Disha said to her.
" Just wait for some time, you'll understand," Preeti replied.
" Shweta ji, we already like your Preeti, but we never knew she'd be our next daughter-in-law," Reema said happily; Shweta half smiled.
" Actually, there is something I want to tell you all," Shweta said in a serious tone, and they all got attentive.
" My elder brother Mr. Ashok Kumar. Uncle of Preeti and Disha. He takes every decision of our family, and nobody denies it," Shweta said, and Disha's face fell knowing where it would go.
" And last night, when i called him to tell about this alliance, he denied saying that he had already promised his friend that he'll marry Preeti to his son" She completed and everyone was shocked, but Avyaansh's expression was neutral.
" I would have been more than happy knowing that Preeti will be your daughter-in-law, but I am really sorry. I can't go against my brother's words," She said, joining her palms.
Reema came to her." Shweta ji, you don't have to be sorry; we can't change the destiny, so don't be guilty, please," Reema said.
" Yes, if there is someone else written in Preeti's fate, then what can we do?" Yashvardhan said.
Everyone was saying this, but from inside they were feeling sad for Avyaansh.
Preeti wasn't sure about her feelings; she wasn't one to panic on small matters, and she also didn't love Avyaansh. For her, it was an arranged marriage, so it didn't bother her much.
But it doesn't mean that she'll marry the guy her uncle chose for her, without knowing him.
Avyaansh's POV
Bullshit, everything is bullshit. As if I'll let her marry someone else. Her Uncle ruined everything, my dreams, hope but no, I'll not let this happen.
I looked at Preeti; she didn't seem bothered by this. I know she doesn't feel for me yet.
Then, as I looked at Bhabhi, she had an apologizing look on her face. I shook my head, gesturing to her not to worry. She is not at fault.
After some time, we left, and my mind was messed up. The car drive was also silent. No one spoke anything.
After reaching the home, we all entered the home. " Disha, where was this Uncle at your marriage?" Maa asked Bhabhi. Exactly why are you ruining my life now?
" Maa, my mother eloped to marry my father, so he didn't keep the relationship with her and us also," Bhabhi said.
" But Maasi respects him a lot; she never goes against his words," Bhabhi said disappointedly.
" It's fine; nothing has happened. You guys also go relax," I said, trying to sound normal.
Then everyone left for their rooms, but Bhabhi came to me. " I am sorry, Avyaansh bhai, I didn't know he would disagree," She said; I smiled and hugged her.
" Don't be guilty, bhabhi, it's not your fault, and don't think that I'll give up, never when it's her case. I'll not let anyone come in between me and her, whether it is mama or chacha," I said, and she smiled.
She also goes to her room after that, but what I said was true: I'll do anything to make her mine.
