Mehul's POV" Mehul, your dad called up. He wants to talk to you immediately. " Mom told me as soon as I came back after walking my friend Rahul and his wife Priya out. Rahul was going to London for 2-3 weeks so he came to meet me. They are so cute and made for each other. I am really happy for Rahul, he has always liked her." Ok mom, I will call him right away, but can you tell me, it is regarding what? "" How do I know beta, why don't you call and ask him? " Mom said.I called up my father, he picked up the phone on the 4th ring." Hello dad !! Did you call me? Mom said you called up and you wanted to talk to me immediately. What is the matter? Dad, is everything alright?  Are you fine? "" I am fine son, I want you and your mom to come here immediately. Take the next flight and come to Surat it is very urgent son come fast."" Ok dad, we will be on the next flight, but you are scaring me.  Is everything alright? Wh

Mehul's POVShe bent a little to touch my dad's feet. My dad said, " God bless you beta. But please, don't do it you are like my daughter." She smiled and her face lit up like a bulb.I must have been staring at her as my dad coughed and said, " Mehul do you remember her? " I was not sure what to say... I was still thinking about how to respond to it. She was looking at me through her eyelashes." Come on Mehul how can you not remember her. You have been scolded so many times because of her. She is Megha, Suresh's daughter. " My dad said chuckling.My eyes widened, I looked at her again as if I was trying to find the similarity between this beautiful girl and that irritating girl with pigtails. I couldn't find the similarity but this beautiful Megha was smiling faintly as if she knew that I was comparing her with her little self. That little irritating girl used to frown at me all the time and this one was smiling shyly...

Mehul's POV" I am s-sorry but I can't h-help you. And p-please leave my hand you are hurting me." She was sobbing now. I realised that I was still holding her wrist tightly. I left her hand as if it was a live wire.She ran away crying the moment I loosened my grip on her hand. I felt very bad for her. I did not want to scare her. I was just too angry with my own parents that they tricked me to come here. Now they wanted me to marry a girl I was betrothed to. I didn't even know about it. I behaved rudely because I wanted Megha to refuse to marry me. What have I gotten myself into? I would not agree to this stupidity. Were they all insane.We all went back to our mansion. I didn't utter a single word during the whole drive. My parents were surprised by my behaviour but they knew that I am going to react once we reach home... and I did." What is this dad? Betrothal?? Seriously?? Is it some kind of prank you are playing with me? It is n

Megha's POVIn the morning when I came downstairs, I saw that my parents were having tea. My mom called me and said, "Good morning beta, your wedding is in 1 week, so we have to do lots of shopping. Get ready fast Sita Ben is also coming, we will go together. She is also very excited, how are you feeling? "" I don't know ma, I am a bit confused. Mehul seemed to be upset about it. What if, he is not happy about this? What if, he can't deny his parents but don't want the marriage as well? Will we be happily married then ma?"" You are thinking too much beta, he was just shocked, just the way you were.. when I told you. You don't need to worry about anything. You both will be comfortable with each other very soon and will fall in love eventually. We all got married like that only."" But ma, papa(father) .... " " Don't worry beta... he is a good man. I know you will be very happy with him, it's just a matter of time. He is a modern guy and and he th

Megha's POVI got engaged to him today and I really don't know exactly how I was feeling. I knew that he didn't want to but still we are engaged now. I felt some kind of jolt when he touched my hand. I didn't even look at him as I was scared... what if, he is still angry with me. Even he didn't say a single word. Oh god what kind of a marriage is it going to be. Everyone was enjoying. The soft romantic music was flowing in the air. Mudit bhai and bhabhi went to thedance floor and Vimal bhai and Sejal bhabhi followed them. They were dancing beautifully. They were in love with their partners. Their moves were simple but looked amazing because they were in love and shared a blessed life with each other. Would I never feel this way?.... I felt bad for myself.... Don't I deserve a beautiful life like them? I can't even talk to my parents about my apprehensions. It was a beautiful evening, everyone enjoyed except the two o
