AUTHOR'S POV

Anjali was still staring at Shilpa!

Her brain was trying hard to accept the new information that was said to her.

"WILL YOU MARRY ARUN ,THE GROOM "Her brother's words echoed loudly in her head

"Anjali listen! I know i know i shouldn't have asked you that but...but I really don't know what to do when venkatesh sir and his family were begging to me!he did us everything he could Anjali and we have never repaid it to them " Selva told holding Anjali 's hands ,his eyes was filled with tears

He felt sorry for his guardian who was getting humiliated by the guests and felt even more worse when he had to ask his sister marry a stranger

"I...I don't even know hi...his name! You want him to get married to him?this is not a joke Selva but my life " Anjali spoke ,her words stammering,her hands feeling all sweaty

"Arun! His name his Arun ,Third and the last son of Mr.venkatesh

His first two sons are married and have a kid!

Their family owns Zyra clothing ,the top most company of chennai and arun was in abroad from the past three years and returned for his wedding! " Anjali was filled in with information about Arun

She was not convinced! It felt all wrong she just couldn't marry a stranger

"No forces Anjali! Getting married to him is completely your choice and... As a brother I..I just felt this will be the best for you! Your gone get married sooner or later right? That's what made me talk to you about this proposal" Selva told

"Its completely okay even if you don't want to get married to him I will manage them but think about this once " Selva told and stood up from his place

Anjali never in her 26 years of life have seen her brother in such a state not even on their parents death!

Selva was everything for Anjali! He was the one who had always been there for her , he made sure Anjali had everything she needed even before she could ask him .

Anjali trusted him with his decisions! moreover selva was not a person who will agree to someone just like that ,if he believes that family then yes! They must have earned his trust and Anjali knew venkatesh and his wife from her childhood through she did not have a chance to interact with their kids ,she always saw the couple being kind and warm.

"Anjali stop thinking too much! don't let in and affect your health, Selva say it's a No from our side " Shilpa told

Selva looked at Anjali one last time and turned around to leave when Anjali held his hands making him stop in his track

"I agree!"

"Huh?"

"I agree , you have always given me the best and I know you will not do something or take a decision which will affect me in a bad way ,I trust you" Anjali told and Selva immediately pulled her into a tight hug.

Selva's phone rang and he spoke for a few minutes

"I will come be back in a minute Anjali, you guys be in that room"he told pointing towards a room next to the stage and left the place

"Your sure Anjali? You really wanna do it?" Shilpa asked taking her daughter swetha in her arms .

Anjali simply nodded as she was busy thinking about her future!

A few minutes ago she was one among the guests ,sitting out and enjoying the wedding and planning to attack the food area but look what the destiny had stored in for her! She is the bride now!

Few minutes passed and two ladies in their mind twenties walked in and gave a warm smile to Anjali

Arun's parents also followed them in and Anjali nervously stood up and looked at Shilpa not knowing what to do

"Thank you so much anjali, you have no idea what you did to us today "Vani aunty that is arun's mother told holding her hands

"I and my family will always be grateful for you " Venkatesh told

Not knowing how to react to them or even acknowledge their words Anjali smiled at them and looked down at her feet.

The two ladies and shilpa quickly helped Anjali to get ready atlest tried their level best to make her look like a bride.

Anjali was a bride who had no heavy makeup or a expensive silk saree on her wedding day ,she did not even have henna stains on her hands .

Just a plain saree and braided hairs which was adorned by Jasmine flowers .

The two ladies who where the daughter in law's of venkatesh and Vani .

Guiding Anjali to walk outside the room!

Anjali could feel all the eyes on her! She hated this so much ,she felt like fish out of water .

She looked up at the stage and saw a man who was dressed up in a silk cream colour shirt and a silk dhoti! Anjali's breath caught realising he was Arun! Who is gone be her husband in few minutes!

Anjali looked at his face ,his well defined features and magestic eyes did not bring him glory has his face had no emotions and he was gritting his teeth hard making his sharp jawline give a show .

Anyone who saw him could say he was furious! Anjali so badly wanted to run away from this place looking at him yet she calmed herself down!

Thinking What happened a few minutes ago she assumed it must be just be affecting him , after all he must have felt humiliated.

Arun stared at the girl who was walking towards him, she had nothing special in her not even a proper bridal saree but something in her caught his attention.

A tint of fear was visible in her eyes.

Anjali on the other hand ,sat beside Arun ,she was busy wondering if things would work between them ,she was not really use to big families but people there looked warm and kind especially Vani aunty .

Anjali could feel his eyes on her,she looked at him and for minute both looked at each other and it was Arun who broke the stare and looked away gritting his teeths .

Anjali was confused with his behaviour she was sure she will be in a hospital at the end of the day due to mixed inexpressible emotional dysfunction.

Her thoughts broke when saw a flower garland around her neck and realised it was her turn to exchange the garland to the groom

A few more minutes passed and it was finally time for the main ceremony ! The pandit there handed Arun the mangalsutra

Anjali looked up at him and saw him taking a deep breath before

Tying the mangalsutra around her neck .

The pandit handed him a small box of vermilion and he looked at Anjali and looked away taking a pinch of vermilion from the box and filling her hair partial with it .

Tears formed in her eyes ! She felt scared and restless after all she was suddenly married to someone who she doesn't even know.

Arun was asked to get up !

Anjali looked at Shilpa already tired of the rituals

"This is the last one I suppose" Shilpa whispered in her ears and Anjali nodded and stood up and followed Arun.

It was the toe-rings ceremony which was done !

And within few minutes the guests started leaving,some to their house and some to the food place .

And Anjali was sitting alone in the room where she previously got ready!

"Anjali "she heard her brother's voice

Looking up and she saw him and shilpa walk in with Swetha sleeping peacefully on shilpa's shoulders

"Anjali!I and so sorry for what had happened! I know this was quick and you did not expect this...I myself did not expect this

I want your happiness nothing else ,If anything goes wrong or someone says you something there just a phone call And I will be there okay?"Selva told and Anjali nodded her head

"We feel guilty Anjali "shilpa told

"Why"she asked

"Just because you brother told you got married ,You did it without even thinking twice ! that shows how much you trust him" Shilpa told

"All of sudden marrying you to someone and sending you to their house

Is really hard "shilpa told with a small sad smile on her face

Anjali pulled Shilpa into a tight hug and she'd the tears which she had managed to keep in control .

"Anjali ,at first everything will be hard but give some time and it will get better "shilpa told, Anjali did not reply but kept on sobbing on her shoulders
