Manik's POV

She stop crying and folded her hands in front of my family.

" I am really sorry for all this... It happened because of me. Manik has always avoided me because he did not want to spoil your relationship with your friends. He tried to make me understand so many times but my stubborn heart never understood. I had never seen such a good man in my life, my stupid heart fell for him. Now I can understand just because of my stomach please stubbornness please forgive me and don't punish him I don't want to make him choose between me and his family so I would leave him and go away. Please don't punish him for all this because he loves you a lot his family and friends matter to him a lot I will go away from his life after signing the divorce papers and would never meet him again. Thanks for giving me so much love, but I don't deserve it. You gave me a place in your home and your heart and I gave you so much pain, please forgive me, I will go away, don't punish me.

" Just, shut up!! Don't make it sound as if you compelled me to get married to you. I married you because I am madly in love with you and can't even imagine my life without you, if you go away I would die. Now I dare you to go leaving me alone. " I glared at her and she burst into fresh tears.

" Enough!!! Stop all this. " Mom said in a high tone.

" Sneha... " Dad started to say something.

" No, Mudit!!! Enough is Enough!! Stop this right away or I will ask the lawyer to prepare the divorce papers. " Mom said.

" What?? Why love? This is not fair. " Dad said going to mom.

"Everything is fair. If you can do this to our son, why can't I do it with you? Enough! " mom said.

" Bhabhi... "

" Shit up, Mehul. You are an idiot. It all happened because of you and your stupid friends. My poor son has already gone through so much stress. Don't tease him now. "

" But, bhabhi... What is my fault?"

" Why didn't you talk to him properly? You believed what your friends said and got over-excited about the surprise you should have asked him first what he wanted. " Mom scolded him and he caught his ears and asked for sorry.

What was going on??

" Yes, I agree with bhabhi... It's our fault too. Now stop it, Mehul or you would also get the divorce papers. " Chachi glared at chachu.

" No!! " He looked shocked.

" Yes!! " Chachi said.

" I won't sign them. "

" You would sleep in the guest room. "

"They are occupied by guests. " He said.

" Sleep in the balcony or bathroom. But not with me. " Chachi said.

" Why? What is my fault?? "

" Stop this nonsense right now, all the kids are upset... crying. How can you enjoy teasing them like this? Stop it! " Chachi said

" What is going on? " Mihir asked.

" What yaar, we were enjoying it so much...?? Isn't it bhai?? I must say we both are very good actors. But our wives are not. I was loving this daily soap drama." Chachu said.

"What? " I asked.

" What?? How can you think that we would say all this?? We were teasing you, idiot. " He said.

" We are sorry that we didn't ask you before arranging your engagement. But since you were living in Surat and we did not get enough time to spend and talk about everything. You went through a lot. I am sorry son. And sorry for teasing you now as well. " Chachi came and hugged me.

" I am sorry too. If only I had done what I did today on our engagement, things would not have worsened. " I said.

Chachi hugged Roshni and said, "Welcome to our family as Manik's wife and our elder daughter-in-law. We are very happy. We were just teasing you." She said and we all smiled.

" But I still think that she is too young to start her married life. So she would go to the USA with us. " Mom said.

" What?? Why mom? "

"That's the way it is, take it or leave it. " Dad said.

" But, I can't live without her... " I said.

" Well, you have to, till she completes her studies in the USA. " Dad said firmly.

" But she studies in Surat... " I argued.

" Now she will, in the USA. " But dad didn't let me put my point.

" No!! At least keep her in Delhi. " I requested.

" No!!!! She will go with us. Get ready we have a press conference in an hour. " Dad said.

" Press conference?? " I asked.

" We have to solve that forbidden love problem. We need to make people understand, as we live in a society. Go freshen yourselves in separate rooms and get ready for the press conference. " Dad said.

" Dad, we stayed in the same room before our wedding night also so what is the problem now?? When did you become so narrow-minded? You were so ahead of your time when you were young, why are you doing this to us? "

" She is too young to get married. We do want grandchildren but she is too young for that. So can't take a risk and we want her to study and make a career of her own. "

" Dad... She is 19 and we are not even thinking of children... "

" She is too young to get married and everything... It's time to think about studies and careers. "

" She has inherited her talent from her mom and is a brilliant jewelry designer. I have seen her designs and was shocked to see that they were better than the designs made by our top designers. " I told them.

" Really? That's good." Chachu said with a smile.

" Can you show us your designs, Roshni beta? " Dad asked and she hesitantly showed the designs on her phone.

" Wow!! You made them?? " Chachu asked and dad raised his eyebrows in appreciation.

" Ji!! "

" The designs are awesome, fine, she is our official designer from now on but she still has to complete her studies. " Dad said.

" Great!! So she can work and study... " I was happy, now she can stay with me.

" In the USA. " Dad said

" But how would she work from there? "

" Oh, I think you have lost your mind all of a sudden. It is obvious, she will send them to you. " dad said.

" But it is difficult to work like this. " I argued.

" Do you want me to make her stay with us for the next 4 years? " Dad asked.

" Mom, Chachi... Please tell your husband not to do that to me. They both still flirt with you after so many years of their marriage. I got married yesterday and they are behaving like this. "

" Mudit! Mehul!! Enough... " Mom glared at them.

" Two years... She will go with us. Go and get ready now. Megha and Sneha get her ready as our newlywed daughter-in-law, we need to introduce her to the world. " Dad said firmly. Mom and chachi took her away.

" Mihir, get him ready. " Chachu said.

" Oh, please, chachu I can get ready on my own. "

********

I tried to meet her but everyone was hell-bent to keep us away from her.

" Go and get ready." Chachi sent me my room.

After about half an hour, she came out of that room and I literally could not breathe. She looked an epitome of beauty and elegance.

Everyone else faded... And I could not see, or think of anything else. It seemed that we were alone in this world.

" Bhai has gone mad... " Mihir said and laughed.

" Shut up! "

" Let's go dad and uncle are waiting for both of you. "

" Don't tell them that you were in love with each other. Let us handle it. You stick to the point that she is your ward and you had to save your life. " Chachi said.

" But why?? We love each other and wanted to get married to each other, who are they to decide for our life? "

" Beta, you have already done whatever you wanted to and we have no problem at all but we all live in society and society has made some stupid norms and rules. I agree with you that they don't have any right to decide about your life, so we need to tell that in our way the way they understand we have done what we wanted to so why not twist and turn it like this so that they can understand it better. Just wait and watch... I have a plan. Do you trust me?? " Chachi asked.

" Of course, Chachi. "

" Then follow me. Just look very serious... As if you are not very happy about this situation as your marriage with Myra broke today. Okay!! " I nodded reluctantly and we both went to join the press conference.
