In early morning we woke up and got ready for our journey. As I descend steps I saw sri's aunty and uncle are talking with Sri, raj and Rishi.

"Pooja we are going to miss you" aunty said hugging me i hugged her back "take care of you and Rishi" she said pulling back.

I smiled and nodded "I am so happy because finally you find the love of your life" uncle said to rishi.

I looked at him confusingly "when he came here he was in very confusing state to whom he loved but he choose the person he loved before going from here" uncle said.

"Never lose each other for someone else" he said I took blessings from uncle and aunty.

We started our journey. I sat in passenger seat while rishi is driving. Sri and raj sat on backside. We enjoyed a lot in this whole journey.

As our destination coming closer my heart was screaming to don't go. I held rishi hand in my sweaty hands while entering city.

"Don't worry nothing bad will happen" he said and patted my hand. I smiled lightly but I was hell scared of going back don't know why?

"First drop pooja at her home and we can go to our house" raj said.

As we passed main gate of my house I saw everywhere was decorated beautifully with flowers. I didn't understand anything.

We got down from car saw my relatives I confused and moved closer to rishi. He wrapped his arms around me.

"Is there any function held here pooja" sri asked me i shook my head negatively. "No I don't think there is one" I said.

My grip on rishi hand tightened as he held me tightly against his chest. We walked inside saw mom was talking over phone happily.

"You need to come before ceremony after all this is your niece engagement" mom said happily. I frowned. "Mom" I called her she turn and saw me.

Her eyes twinkled with happiness "you came" she hugged me still I held rishi hand tightly.

"Thank god you came on time" she said "what is all of this" I asked her pulling back.

"Because tomorrow is your engagement" she said my eyes widened "what! Are you joking right" I asked her.

"No. Rishi you believe me right" she asked rishi who is didn't utter a word. "Mom" I said angrily. "Stop this nonsense" i said.

I saw dad was coming downstairs but didn't look directly into my eyes "how can you fix this marriage without my constant" i asked them.

"If you know whom he is you won't say like this" mom said "who" I asked her "it's varun" she said.

"How can you both fix this marriage" I asked them "I told you right I don't want to get married him" I yelled.

"Pooja" mom shouted at me I felt rishi grip on my hand tightened "aunty please don't mind for coming into your family issues but I can't hear any word against pooja" he said.

I saw his jaw clenched and veins are popping out "rishi you also supporting her" mom said "you both didn't knew how varun family helped us" mom said with teary eyes.

"He fixes our financial problems" she said I confused "from when we start having financial problems" I asked them.

We aren't rich people but we are happy with what we have and I definitely knew that we don't have any financial issues because I never let my parents pay money for my studies because I studied hardly for not making them to pay.

"We have" dad said for the first time he spoke to me after so many days. "Dad" I whispered "I secured money for you marriage" he said taking off his specs.

"It was nearly 50 lakhs, but that bank got robbed in two months before and I left with no money in my pocket" he said.

"In all these years I maintained our family with my job but now I am retired recently and I don't have enough money for your marriage" he said I saw tears in his eyes.

"When this marriage proposal came I thought i can give you best with this because varun parents are very nice people and coming to him. He was gem" he said patting my head.

Tears are rolled on my cheeks "dad" I whispered I held rishi hand tightly into mine but his grip was slowly loosing mine.

I need to tell them about me and rishi!

"Dad I need to tell you something" I said dad nodded his head "i and rishi are in lo—" "it's nothing uncle" rishi voice made me look at him.

"She was saying that we both wanted to tell you that she was ready for this marriage" he said I looked at him with wide eyes.

"Rishi" I called him but he held my hand "she was in shock to register what is happening here" he said "explain her rishi she only listen you" mom said.

"Come" he said and dragged me to my room. When we enter my room he closed door and rubbed his temples.

"What are you saying rishi" I asked him "Pooja listen this was the best" he said "every father wants to give best for their daughter but I am not right person" he said holding my shoulder.

"Why are you saying like that" I asked him "we are not same pooja coming to financially" he said I saw his eyes were bloodshot red.

"Rishi I don't need money" I said "you know me" I said held his hands which were cupping my cheeks now.

"But you can't compromise every situation pooja" he said "try to understand me" he said "everything was ready for your marriage if we say now your parents will be in confusion state" he said tears are rolling in my cheeks.

"There is two ways only" he said "tell me another thing rishi don't leave me" I said held his hands tightly into mine.

"One is you getting married and second one is coming with me" he said my eyes widened.

"I know pooja you can't come with me leaving your parents" he said and removed my hands "we can tell them rishi about our love they will convince" i said try to make him understand.

"They will convince not accept there is difference pooja" he said "I also have sister and I know how much responsibility it was" he said.

"No pooja didn't you see what is the situation here" he said rubbing his temples "you promised me that you won't leave me" I said my vision was blurred because of tears.

"I know pooja. I already know the value of father. Your dad also doesn't want to force you that's why he isn't asking you" he said.

"Rishi" I whispered he shook his head and hugged me tightly I hugged him back. "I don't know what to do" he said i felt wetness on my shoulder I sobbed.

"The thought of leaving you is breaking me" he said I ran my fingers in his hair.

"We will think about this together" I said he still didn't leave me. I don't know what to do.

Should I tell my parents about my love or not??
