"I'm sorry!" He stood there like a stone. Not another word came out from his mouth. His eyes never went up to meet her's. Slowly his legs gave way and he started falling down deep in the pit.

She didn't look at him. She looked up at the sky and closed her eyes to stop the tears escaping her eyes. She whispered under her breath, "May be we were never meant to be."

Her eyes gave away the pain in them and opened as lifeless as it could look. Her grandfather stood at her back with a grin. She didn't say anything and walked away with him.

She sat on the chair and spread her hands to let the designers do the hena designs on her palms when she saw a familiar face. His eyes were bloodshot and he looked at her with rage. After seeing him, she ordered the designers to leave and they did as they were ordered.

He slowly came towards her. She gave him a warm smile.

"Of course it's your happy time now. You are getting whom you had always wanted to be with and now my friend is also no more a barrier for you. You know what? My friend was exactly right. This love thing is nothing. Its just the urge for someone's body. I was the fool who spoilt my friend's life by bringing you in his life. Be happy. May your married life start happily from my friend's death bed." He said and walked away.

While going out from the marriage venue, he went by her. She stopped him and asked, "What happened?"

"Hah! Nice to meet you. I think this relationship is just not gonna work out. I'm breaking up. Don't ever try to contact me again. I had promised my friend that we would marry together and now when he is only no more, I think I can never get married without him by my side. So bye." He said rudely by leaving the girl in the verge of crying. She ran out from the venue calling his name but he didn't look back. She stood there for minutes and then started strolling by the street still crying.

She could no more control her tears as she ran inside her room and fell on the bed, crying her heart out till she was called by some woman. She immidiately got up and cleared her tears. She went to the door and opened it to let a group of giggly women come in her room. They made her sit on her chair infront of the dressing table and started her bridal make up. They then made her change into a beautiful red and golden lahenga and put on heavy gold jewellery on her. She was looking gorgeous in that bridal attire except that the smile which didn't reach her eyes which was the most beautiful touch of a bride's makeup.

She walked down to the Mandap where her would be husband was sitting with the priest and her grandfather.

He reached his house and barged in to find a girl sitting on the sofa with a devilish smirk on her face. As she saw him coming in, she stood up and said, "What happened? Looks like something big has happened."

"You did all this right?" He barked at her.

"Of course. How could I let that stupid girl take him away from me." Said she calmly.

"But you know what? You have failed!" He laughed.

"What do you mean by that? He is mine and only mine." Screamed she.

"Screaming is not going to help dear. He is never gonna be yours. Never. You bloody killed him!" He spat.

"What? No. Never. He is mine only mine. I'll get him. He's mine. He's mine!" She screamed with laughter.
