Chapter 15
A Dance of Destiny
*AFTER SIX YEARS*
Author's pov:-
Time passed slowly in a blink of an eye. Nothing specially changed but some hearts and affections changed.
Life unfolded in different ways, After samaira left, the once vibrant laughter of friends faded into echoes as they moved away, chasing their dreams, that sometimes felt out of reach.
The emptiness left behind is palpable, a stark reminder of the bonds that had once felt unbreakable.
Samaira learned that pain could be a teacher, guiding her toward a deeper understanding of herself and the world around her.
For which now, She became hopeless.
She embraced the scars within her, but couldn't moved on from the painful past. But determined to not to fall for him again.
While in this years, Aryan often found himself lost in thought, replaying the moment he rejected samaira, her eyes filled with hope for him, which he dismissed too easily.
Aryan often found himself, longing for the warmth of her smile, the comfort of her presences.
He regretted the every single day that he rejected her. His heart filled with unanswered questions and regret that he carried everyday like it's nothing.
With each passing day, he struggled with hope, that one day he might find the courage to reach out to her again, to tell her how much he regretted letting her go.
Now the regret transformed into fierce determination to get her at any cost. The hope in his heart didn't shatter, still waiting for her.
Now, The one with hope and the other one hopeless. How they are gonna define love, which awaited for them?
So, The destiny starts it game for them.
Now, It is A dance of destiny.

*At Rathore's mansion*
"Bhai, Are you ready? Com'on Badi maa is calling us! We have to go!" Stated dhruv, knocking continuously on aryan's room door.
"She says, The auspicious time is going to end!" He added.
Dhruv dressed up in a light grey suit paired with a plain white T-shirt, and straight-cut trousers. He completed his look with white snickers, adding a touch of casuality to the tailored suit.
Dhruv's outfit:-
The door wide opened revealing Aryan. He dressed up in a two-piece suit with a sliver necklace chain and a rolex watch.
Aryan's outfit:-
"I'm ready! Let's go!" Saying this Aryan left the place leaving dhruv behind.
"Yeh kabi nahi sudhaar rega (He's never going to change)" Stated dhruv following Aryan, while shaking his head.
After reaching the hall, They meet with a sight of their family, waiting for them.
"Aryan! Dhruv! Let's go, The auspicious time is gonna end! We have to reach Aggrawal's mansion for date fixing" Stated sobitha, her tone laced with urgency.
She dressed up in a simple vibrant red saree, with a small bindi on her forehead. Her eyes sparkled with her usual warmth.
"Areyy! Sobitha didi (sister), Don't worry, There's still time left!" Assured suguna, observing her concern.
"Yes, There's still time left! And also we'll reach there in time" Stated veerendra, agreeing with suguna.
"And also did you guys prepare the gifts and the fruit baskets as I told you?" Inquired sobitha, looking at dhruv and Aryan.
"Yes maa, We've already settled that matter so don't worry!" Replied Aryan with his usual straight face.

Aryan's pov:-
I replied, and I observed that maa's tensed muscles eased.
Y'all must be wandering what's happening right? Lemme tell you!
It's Riya and Rajvansh's wedding date fixing. Yes you heard me right.
They both confessed that they liked eachother in front of the elders of both families.
Without denying, Our elders happily agreed for it.
I too agreed for this because, I've seen Rajvansh since childhood, So I'm sure that he won't hurt my sister.
This happened one month back, And now we're going to fix dates for wedding.
Uh! A sigh escaped my lips thinking about how time passed so quickly.
I didn't even got to know about this.
And about samaira, She didn't return from New york, even though it's been six years since she left.
I'm not sure that, This time she'll return from New york.
But I still hope that she will return. And I will make it happen, even though if she doesn't want to.
And once she returns, I'm not going to set back and I'll confront her.
I hope that time comes soon.
"Aryan bhai! Let's go!" Stated dhruv, breaking my chain of thoughts.
With a hum, I started going towards my car, which is parked in the garage.
Maa, papa, riya settled in a car. While dhruv, chachi ji, chacha ji settled in dhruv's car.
I started the car, making the engine roar. All of the cars left rathore's mansion.
After some moments, We reached the Aggrawal's mansion, which is decorated in a simple yet vibrant manner with garlands and flowers.
We all stepped inside the mansion and met with sight of Samaria's family, waiting for us.
Their faces beaming with happiness reflecting ours.
"Finally, All are here, Now let's go! The priest's also here!" Stated mahima aunty guiding us towards the hall.
After being seated, the priest spoke,
"So, If all are present here, Can I start fixing dates for the wedding?"
"Yes, Please start it! All are present here!" Spoke papa, his tone filled with happiness.
After some moments, The priest spoke, "You can keep the wedding after 15 days or 1 month"
All of them exchanged glances after listening to his words.
Vijay uncle suggested, "Uhm... What about after 15 days? I guess it's the best! We can even finish the rituals in this span of time!"
Listening to his words, Papa spoke, "As you say! Let's continue with that date then! We agree with that!" Replied papa, glancing at maa.
"Yes, Let's fix that date! I'm excited for the wedding! Finally my daughter is getting married!" Stated maa, caressing riya's head lovingly. Making riya smile.
My little princess's getting married, That's sounds odd cause, It's still feels like she still a child, but now she's a grown-up women.
"Okay then, Please fix that date!" Spoke papa.
Dadaji and Samaria's grandfather did a heartfelt hug followed suit by others. All of them shared a warm hug.
While Riya and Rajvansh exchanged glances shyly. Which didn't go unnoticed by me and dhruv.
Dhruv teased, "Huh- someone's blushing!" Making riya and rajvansh avert their gaze.
Which erupted chuckles from the elders.
A small smile spread across my face, watching all of my family members smiling and laughing happily.
But still, There's another person, who I want to see, The person I'm longing to see, to smile, to laugh.
Her bright eyes enlightening the day.
Dadaji spoke, his tone filled with unwavering excitement "Huh finally, I'm gonna invite all my business partners, friends, well wishers and- Samaira's grandfather interrupts.
"Oho, Bas kar!(Stop it) I'm sure, that little list of yours still goes on, Don't start now! I'm tired already!" His tone playful.
"Well said! What bhaiya said was true!" Stated dadi ji with a playful smile. Making dadaji pout in response.
All of the members erupted into chuckles at the light-hearted banter.
After few minutes, Suguna chachi spoke, "Well then, All are perfect! The wedding date is fixed and we'll start the rituals in few days! When is samaria's gonna return from New york?"
My heart racing, expecting a positive answer this time.
"Uhm- We thought to inform this to her after fixing the date! Now that the date have been fixed, We'll inform her!" Stated mahima aunty.
"I'm sure she'll jump with happiness, after listening to this news!" Added nalini aunty.
So, Will she return to India for her brother's wedding?
I tried to text and contact her in this years, but none of it are answered.
I don't know, How she is right now. How is she doing?
All this questions are making me more restless.
This restlessness is not gonna end until she comes into my sight.
