Alex pov:
I saw sleeping ana in my arms, today was eye opening for me about ana emotions. I never thought she was bearing many things in her heart, poor Ana. When I found her going to India, first I thought was about her family , they must call her to help Khanna's business.
So, I left as possible I can, that night I hear the recording that we are married. I can't believe myself; I continuously hear until I reach India. One point makes me restless was she hide it from me and her friends suggesting her to date others.
And next when I land in India and found ana in Khanna's restaurant, I nearly thought about her family but I surprised to see her with other man and the man is so close to her.
I have to say I am jealous until I found he is her brother and also happy at least her brother tries to protect her, not like her mother and family but at the same time I don't like others to protect her. I am only the one to protect her.
Actually in journey I was drunk but remember everything I had done with her, but I don't want to forgive her easily. Marriage is not a small matter, to say before it was nothing to me, after meeting ana and attending all my friend's marriage I want one.
At Fiona and Zack wedding, I thought my marriage is just like for a name's sake.
My point of view completely changes after my heart starts to love, and attending Sanj's marriage , I also want to have a grand wedding in their tradition.
After retuning , Jen and David marriage I also want to celebrate in western culture, so I decide to marry her in both ways.
I want to have a grand wedding but who knows I just married her in a way that no man will do. Without her concern, proposing her , asking her and informing her. I want whole world to know that she is mine but I done quite opposite.
When she didn't inform me about her marriage, sometimes we may think in negative that happen to me , by overthinking i thought she doesn't love me. this happens when I was drunk that night, I lost my control over myself and love her roughly.
Today hearing all her words make my heart broke, I can't provide her the security from this society. When I saw her break down and tears in her eyes , I felt bad about leaving alone past few days. When she said we can't be together and consider we never get married, for the first time I experience the heart break, the pain.
She said " Don't come to me. Just avoid me", she pushes me away. " You don't want to talk to me, you don't want to see me, you don't want me. Get lost." She says moving away. I pulled her into my arms and hug her tightly, her tears roll down and wet my shirt. It was more painful than my friends beating.
Our gap past few days nearly makes us apart and I regret it, I will never let that happen in future, it was really my mistake to avoid her. she was mentally suffered because of this.
I drag her to sofa and make her sit on my lap, her hands grip my shirt and sniffing. " I am sorry" I said. She raises her red eyes and saw into my eyes, " I am avoiding you for hiding our marriage" I gave her a peck on her forehead, " because I thought you don't want our marriage." Peck on her eyes " Now I understand why you did it." Peck on her nose.
" Ana, I will only say you one thing, this is our life and we are perfect to each other . You are perfect to me and I think I am perfect to you. Don't hurt each other to satisfy societal status."
I said the last words " Ana if you are land and I am sky, we may have a large gap but we were always connected to each other with love like land and sky are connected with rain." With that I place my lips.
( ---if you feel like rubbish don't consider those words, to me even if sky and land can't be close but they are always connected. like light , air, water... i am trying to phrase it , for now try to understand i will arrange correct words to it ** if you have any phrase, suggest me***)
I took her to room in my arms, place her on bed and give her water to drink. After that I slept on bed with ana in my arms, it gives me a feeling that I am contented, the emptiness I felt was completed now. I had a good sleep after a long time.
Next day I wake up first and get down to see all my friends in hall. When they saw me, they have a doubtful expression like questioning me " Is everything okay?"
I nod my head and sat with them and answered all their questions. I even play the audio record her expressing her marriage to Sandeep.
" What are you doing now?" Fiona asks me. I had thought about it what to do.
" I am planning everything , before that I have to talk to someone" I stood up and said before leaving " Take care of her."
I drive to my parents' house; I know they will never say no to me but I have to get their agreement.
I already inform that I was coming, my mom and dad are waiting for me in the hall, I greeted them.
" Why are you hurry to meet us?" mom asks. i take my seat and says "Mom , Dad I want to say something." I said in a serious tone. They were surprised because they never saw me this serious.
" What is that?" my dad asks with worry , my mom interrupts " Is that about Business, then I am going to kick you out, Alex" I actually take business serious other than that nothing is serious before.
" Mom, it was about me, my life " I said. " What is it then?" Mom asks this time. " I want to marry." My mom jump hearing this. " Wow, are you really want to marry." I nod my head.
" Whom ?" my dad asks. " It was Ana. Am I right." Mom ask guessing.
" yes" my mom stood up exciting, she was saying her plan first announce the engagement and after Fiona delivery I will get married.
" Mom, I don't agree to it." I interrupt her plans " Do you think it was early" mom questions me.
"No, it was late I can't wait. I am marrying her in this week."
" What?" both shouts at a time.
" Are you crazy?" my dad asks then mom doubts " Are we becoming grandparents?"
" No mom." " Then why are you marrying in hurry." Dad asked me.
Then I explained them what happen yesterday , they were surprised first about my unexpected marriage but understand the situation. " I don't want her to feel insecure" I ended.
" Poor child, she has to bear all this alone. Alex, you must think before you do anything." Mom warned me. She scold me first ,later she gave me some tips . I can see how excited they were about my marriage and I promised them my marriage will be not less than others even it has less time.
" Ask any help if you need" dad says before I leave. On the way I called zack to learn that ana left for work.
I went to Fiona place, all are there except ana, I stood in the hall and announced them " I am going to marry." All shouted at a time. " ohh"
Fiona and jen were asking question after other when where ....
" Let me complete" I saw Fiona and says " I am going to marry her in week."
Fiona was the one who shout "What?"
" In one week"
" No way"
" I decided" I said strongly. Fiona didn't accept and went into her room following zack.
" Why in hurry?" Sanj asked me. " I don't want any chance to lose her." I am determined, no one can change it.
By noon Fiona comes out and agreed to it, " Alex, I am sorry. I am not against this; just see how fat I am looking ; I will be not good in photos." She said with a cry face.
" But what you said is correct. Ana has been suffering all the time, it must be end as soon as possible. Don't worry, we will help you." she said assuring me. i know i have the best family and friends who support me what ever i do.
After lunch we all sat in hall and arrange the plan. Sanj and Nick are responsible for Indian marriage and calling Ana's relatives in India , Jen and Dav were to arrange western marriage and taking care of things here.
By night we all start our work; I ask ben to clear my schedule. Actually, this was December, half of the month have a Christmas vacation, so it was not hard to clear my schedule.
Next day, ben send a plane to India to receive all the close one to ana, to say Sanj family, Shruthi and Sandeep, Ana's brother Adithya, and her close relatives.
They will all reach here by evening, there accommodations were arranged by ben. My friends arranging things and I am preparing myself for proposing tonight. Last time when I propose to her all the words, I said are true but today was different. That was a game and she didn't have chance to reject but today I feel how my friends felt when they prepare to propose. The fear of her reply makes me sick as well as excited.
It was 7:00 PM, I am waiting for ana to arrive, it was jen and Sanj's responsibility to bring her.
