*Neville Pov*

"Why are you coming with us?" Lakshmi asked the moment we walked out of the house.

"Because I want to." I replied, shrugging and left her hand but not his.

"She wants to meet Dileep alone and that too alone. But our family will not accept for it so it seems like I am being with them, but I will be a little far from them." Yash explained.

"I know about that. I actually understood with her eye signal to you." I said, assuring him.

"Then why are you coming with us? Now I have to introduce you to him and miss a few minutes of our meeting." Lakshmi said glaring at me.

"We both too need some alone moments right, even know we just returned to the house I can't get enough of him." I said staring at Lakshmi while Yash still in his face.

I burst out laughing, staring at their both faces and we finally reached the park with the both of them completely silent.

"Dileep!" Lakshmi shouted and rushed towards him as that guy is standing leaning on a tree.

"How are you, Lakshmi?" he asked, smiling at her, to which she smiled back but stood just before him.

"Why don't you both just hug? You are getting married, guys." I shouted rolling my eyes and Dileep looked up from Lakshmi frowning to stare at me.

"Nev?" he asked with a shocked look and I grinned nodding.

"Wow!" he said rushing towards me and picked me up in his arms before twirling me around.

"It's been so long since we met." He said putting me down and I laughed.

"Yeah! It is good to see you." I said patting his shoulder.

"What are you doing in India and that too with them?" he suddenly asked frowning and my smile slipped.

"It is a long story." I replied, to which he frowned more.

"We will just be back, guys." He said, turning towards them and dragged me away before making me sit on the bench.

"Now, tell me this long story." He urged and I glanced around to see that no one is there near to us.

I nodded and started explaining everything from my boyfriend to my step sister to my dad. But the only problem was I couldn't stop the tears.

Maybe it was because I already know him and also know that he will never betray my trust as he has some loyalty planned inside his head for some childhood incident in my case.

"That is too much, Nev. How could Uncle do that to you? I will talk to him." He said fuming.

"No! I let go of him and all of them. Now, I just want my Mom to talk to me and tell me at least she loves me." I said sighing.

"Well, I love you right." He said grinning and I slapped his shoulder brushing my tears away.

"I need her to not think about decades promise and give importance to me and I can understand her situation. Her parents and husband seemed to be strict." I said frowning.

"If they are that strict then they wouldn't have got my marriage fixed with Lakshmi." He said smiling.

"How did they allow you? I mean, do they really know you are my cousin?" I asked him frowning.

"No! We just told them that my family is relative to your dad and they didn't ask any other details regarding it and we never explained." He replied shaking his head.

"Can I ask you something?" I asked but didn't give him any chance to give his reply.

"Why are you marrying Lakshmi? I mean are you mad?" I asked, to which he frowned.

"What do you mean by that question?" he asked with a confused look.

"Look, we are of the same age, so I am telling this. She is a kid who needs time for her maturity to grow. I can't say anything to them because I don't have any right, but I can say that to you because we are close friends." I explained.

"But everyone marries at that age itself here, mostly and that too mainly in their family and mine." He said frowning.

"So? Can't you do something different in your life?" I asked frowning.

"You are right!" he mumbled nodding and I smiled at him.

*Yash Pov*

"Did you hear that, Yash? He is accepting her words." Lakshmi said and started crying, covering her mouth while I stared at Neville and Dileep in shock.

"And you were asking what did they talk before the point from where she started saying why is he even marrying me." She added glaring at me.

"We reached here little lately, giving them time like they asked, Lakshmi." I said not looking at her.

"He is going to cancel our wedding." She suddenly said and started running away towards the house and I followed her knowing well I can't leave her alone with the way she is feeling.

"Mom! Dad!" Lakshmi screamed entering the house and I frowned at her.

"We can think about it by ourselves." I mumbled stopping her but she doesn't seemed to be in any way to be stopped.

"What happened?" Her parents asked along with my Mom.

"She said I am a kid right then I will show her what a kid can do." Lakshmi replied to me in a whisper before moving towards Revu crying and hugged her.

"Neville is flirting with Dileep, Mom. And she even suggested to him that he shouldn't think about marrying me. She forced him and he even said she is right." She explained when everyone asked her again and again what happened.

"What?" Revu asked stepping back and Lakshmi nodded while Uncle fisted his hands.

"Is it true?" Revu asked me and I stared at Lakshmi's crying face.

"Yes!" I replied and Revu slowly hugged Lakshmi consoling her.

"Lakshmi! Dileep said he will meet you tomorrow as he has some important work today." Neville said after a few minutes entering the house.

"What happened to her?" she added staring at Lakshmi.

"It is all because of you." Mom said walking near to her.

"Tell me this! Did you Dad send you here to cancel this wedding as he doesn't want his relative to marry in this family?" Mom suddenly asked and Revu stared at Neville with a shocked look.

"What?" Neville asked, laughing.

"Why are you flirting with my fiancé and advised him to not marry me?" Lakshmi asked which took away her laugh.

"You heard?" Neville asked, walking near to them.

"Mom! What I did is correct for her welfare itself. And he said he will come here along with his parents tomorrow." She added glancing at Revu.

"You were really flirting with your sister's fiancé?" Revu asked her frowning and Neville stared at her in shock.

"What? I didn't..." she started saying which my Mom sopped holding her hand.

"Don't lie! Even my son said you were." Mom said, glaring at her and Neville immediately turned to stare at me with shock.

"Did he now? Anyway, you stay out of this, Aunt. I am talking to my mother and replying to her." Neville said, glaring at my Mom and turned to stare at Revu who suddenly slapped her.

"I thought you were really here to be with me. But seems like your Dad won again and planned all this. Tell him that I will not spare if he does anything to hurt my daughter and you can leave this place right now before she gets more hurt and we will deal with our problems." Revu said and we all stilled in our places.

I thought Neville will say something else or anything but she calmly walked inside her room and returned to the living room within a few minutes holding her bag.

"Dad and you are perfect for each other, Mom. I don't know why you both even broke up." That's all she said leaving the house.

"Don't worry, Lakshmi! We will make Dileep understand and the wedding will happen on the decided time." Mom assured her while everyone just stood in silence.

I glanced at Revu to see her hand shaking while Uncle is staring at her. I glanced at the door and felt guilty for accepting Lakshmi's accusations but what Neville did was also wrong by trying to make Dileep change his mind just because she likes him.
