"Hello pooja" Vivek lifts the call I took deep breaths "Vivek can I talk with you a minute" I asked him looking at suji.

"Yeah sure" he said I closed my eyes praying for him to understand my situation.

"I—-" I don't know how to tell him I was very nervous suddenly I hear lot of voices from his side.

"Hello sister we are friends of your fiancée" someone said suji frowned looking at me. I put phone on speaker so she can also listen.

"He was madly in love with you" someone said I felt my heart sank "he was eagerly waiting to get marry you" they said. I looked at suji worriedly.

"Vivek is loving you so much" his friends shouted. "Shut up guys" I hear Vivek scolding them. "Sorry pooja don't mind their words" he said.

"Come on bro she needs to know your love" someone said. "Not like this. I want to make this memorable for her" varun words pinched my heart.

"Pooja tell me you were saying something" Vivek said after shutting his friends mouth. Words are struck in my throat tears are formed in my eyes.

"Mom told me about our wedding" I said "I am so sorry I didn't even ask you about this but aunty told me you accept this wedding" he said.

He is sounding sincerely "now I will ask you" he said "Pooja I love you so much through I want to tell you this specially but my idiot friends spoils" he said chuckling lastly.

My eyes widened "will you marry me" he asked me I didn't say anything I looked at suji who is signalling me to told him.

"Y—yes-" I said and disconnected the call for not let him hear my sob. "What is this pooja. Why did you accept this" suji asked me.

"He loved me suji" I said "so?" She asked me "I know how much pain if we get rejected from our loved once" I said crying.

"What about Rishi" she asked me getting up from bed. "Didn't you thought for him for a second before saying yes to Vivek" she asked me angrily.

"Everyone only thinks about them self only why aren't you think about me for a second" I yelled feeling all frustrated with everyone's opinion.

"No one asks me about my opinion even rishi also didn't ask me" I yelled and got up.

"Everyone decide what they want but no one ask me how I am feeling and what I want" I shouted and sat on bed sobbing.

Suji hugged me "I know pooja your pain but make the right decision" she said I hugged her back crying on her shoulder.

**************

It was almost midnight but I am in my room don't know what to do tomorrow morning my engagement with varun and he told me he is loving me.

Suji and Sri was with me I want to call rishi but I couldn't. "Pooja wear this saree tomorrow morning" mom said placing saree and jewellery on bed.

I didn't said anything "Pooja" she called me I didn't even lift my eyes from the book which I pretending to reading.

"What happen why are you so dull, aren't you happy" mom asked me held my chin made me look into her eyes.

"Is my happiness matter to you" I asked her she taken back suddenly tears formed in her eyes. "Leave me mom" I said and pushed her hand away.

I don't know how to feel! Should I be angry on my parents or sad?

"What are you going to do now" sri asked me "I don't know" I said biting my nails. Tears are rolling on my cheeks.

"I need to choose" I said wiping my tears "but—" suji was about to say something I stopped her "there is no but. I need to choose rishi or my parents" I said.

"If i choose my family I loose rishi, if I choose rishi I loose my family" I said watching time. "I don't even have time" I said.

"Pooja" I hear mom voice I saw her standing at the door "here is the ring" she said and gives it to me "you need to take off this ring" she said pointing the ring on my finger.

"Take rest" she said and caressed my cheek before leaving. My eyes went to the ring on my finger.

I remember how that day rishi made me wear this ring and how we act as married couple in front of darsh and binita.

"you know in our religion if we exchanged rings at the presence of god it means that we are married" she said "don't let this be fake"

Binita words played in my head tears formed in my eyes.

Am I really making this fake!!

Should I choose Rishi over my family?

"I won't force or I will leave you"

"My love for you is true and I trust destiny and my love"

Rishi words ranged in my mind. I don't know what to do, I don't have time for making decisions!!!!

Again my eyes went to the ring on my finger. Every time I saw this I am feeling like cheating and betraying him.

"Pooja make the decision now! If you take off the ring, you are ready to move on and leaving rishi forever" suji said.

"If you didn't take it off, You choose best" she said and put the ring in my hand which mom brought few minutes back.

"As Rishi told you choose what your heart really want" sri said placing her hand on my shoulder.

"Let heart win pooja" suji said I looked at the rings on my hand and finger with teary eyes.

I slowly start took off the ring on my finger..........
