“Do not tell someone about your good side to make them stay. Tell them your worst side and see who stays…”

Kamy stood in front of Ojaswi and said, “Han, stop… you cannot slap her. She is grown up now.”
“She has grown up, really? If she had really grown up then she would not be saying such childish things and emotionally blackmailing us...” Han retorted.
“Dad, please… I don’t want to marry that man. Please..” Ojaswi requested.
Kamy turned to her. “Stop being stubborn, Oja.”
“Please, I beg you…” Ojaswi dropped on her knees.
“Anyone can want you, but the love hits different when someone actually values you…” -Vivek Thakur [*****] “Remember no crying…” Kamy whispered in her ear, reaching the gate of the church. Ojaswi didn’t say a word. She just walked into the church like a zombie gripping the nosegay tight. Entering the church they saw three people, one lady and two men sitting in the front row. Hearing their footsteps they stood on their feet but didn’t turn to them. “Are they already here,” Kamy stammered. And leaning close to Ojaswi’s ear whispered, “I had told you to hurry up, Oja… see they are already here.” “Goodmorning, my wife-to-be,” suddenly they heard a voice behind them.
“We are not promised tomorrow…” #copied[*****]Shishir sat cupping his head on his hand. Time and again he was taking a deep breath. Han and Kamy were standing leaning their back on the wall. Akash and Kate were pacing back and forth.“I think we should leave,” Mrs. Millar, who was standing a distance away, said with her hands folded.“Mom, Ojaswi is not in good condition and you say we should leave?” Joseph said out of disappointment.“Your mother is right. We should leave. I don’t think this marriage is going to happen,” Mr. Millar said, preparing to leave.“
“Strength doesn’t come from what you can do. It comes from overcoming the things once you thought you couldn’t…”[*****]Shishir felt the word straight to his heart. As he was trying to figure it out, suddenly they heard Ojaswi screaming. Hastily they all rushed inside before they saw Ojaswi gripping the sheets and screaming out loud.Shishir approached her and pulled her in his arms. Pressing her head against his chest, he tried to calm her down.“Shhh! Shh… shh…Calm down. Ojaswi, I am here. Nothing to worry about… I am here…” He stroked her hair.Gradually, she came back to her senses and hugged him back. “Please don’t leave
“Some people think that to be strong is to never feel pain. But in reality, the strongest people are the ones who feel it, understand it and accept it…”[*****]Their lips rubbed against each other and they followed each other's rhythm. Both their eyes were shut and they were feeling good. After a while, they pulled back and smiled at each other.“By the way did you get my message?” Oajswi questioned.He shoved his hand in his pocket and took a paper out. He handed it to her.As she unfolded it she uttered, “oh! This is my message.”“I have kept it with me all this time. This was a keepsake from you so I have slept
“Happiness comes serially today or tomorrow. Every happiness will knock at your door, just you have to enjoy whatever needs to come first...”[*****]“They have no fault in it. They tried their best to be good parents, it is just me who couldn’t be their good daughter. I couldn’t fulfill their dream. But trust me I tried but I cannot be apart from Shishir,” she said sadly.Kate wrapped her hand around Ojaswi and said, “No, don't say that. You were in a difficult situation in life. There is no one to blame… Also, I am happy you didn’t get married to that Millar... I am pretty sure even if you were married to him, you would be chased away just in few days by that Mrs. Millar. She is so mean.”&l
“Sometimes things have to go wrong in order to go right..” #copied[*****]“You mean like in a fairytale?” Ojaswi questioned in excitement.“Yes, I want to make our love story a modern fairytale,” Shishir replied, kissing her hand.Ojaswi hugged him. “I am so happy to have you in my life.”“I am too delighted to have you, my darling. Now listen,” he pulled away and cupped her cheeks in his hand. “First thing first, you will finish your study. Your exams are knocking at your door, you know that, right?”“Oh! Yeah… my god, Shishir. Three weeks I have missed so many classes. How am I going t
“Do something today that your future self will thank you for…” #copied[*****]“God, I have nothing to wear. What am I going to do?” Ojaswi was in great panic and was pacing back and forth in front of the mirror.“Oja…” Kate entered the room with her hand behind.“Kate, you have come at the right time. Can you lend me a dress? I have nothing to wear.” Ojasiw rushed to her.“No… I am not going to lend you anything,” she refused, walking inside.“But why? You are my best friend and still, you are not helping me out. This is not fair,” Ojaswi grumbled folding her arms.
“Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen…” #copied[****]“Okay, Shishir, I will go and get dressed. Bye… see you…”“But Ojaswi…” before hearing his full sentence, Ojaswi disconnected the call.Shishir glanced at Akash without saying a word.“I am sorry, boss. I was just trying to help Kate as she too might have no dress to wear,” he said lowering his head.“Then why are you being sorry?” he questioned.“Because of me you didn&rsq
