Ishaani's POV:

I couldn't stand it anymore!!!

I felt like something inside me was piercing!!!

😢

I cried my heart out... I was feeling sick...my head was aching...

I wanted to go home now...

Back home...

Mysore...😢

I didn't want to stay here anymore...
I quickly washed my face and came out of the washroom...

Just then I heard a lot of people clapping and looking for me...

I saw Saudamini Daadi call me upon the stage... I saw Dev was standing there next to his Daadi...

I didn't want to see his face... But I couldn't disrespect Daadi...I quietly went and stood there...

Daadi picked the mic and started...

'Thank you everyone for joining us... This Friday night has become even more starry and beautiful due to your presence.
It has been a fantastic achievement for Gaya's... Im thankful to each one of you for joining us here... It has been indeed the best fashion week Gaya's saw since last 8 years...

All this because of my grandchildren's hardwork but most of all due to this young lady standing next to me❤️

She touched my cheek softly and smiled...

Well I must say both my grandchildren's choices are amazing and extremely lucky for Kapoor's glory.

As you know Samarjit ji's fought a tough battle again recently but as you all know his health hasn't been doing very well...

He wants everyone around him happy and content...

Thereby Samarjit ji has decided to gift their grandchildren the biggest happiness ever... And I'm glad our families have mutually agreed to this...

We hereby announce... our grandchildren
Dhruv- Ahana and Dev-Ishaani's wedding ...

.

.

.
This Sunday!!!

That is day after tomorrow.'

😳😳😲😱😨😦🥺

I stood there...like a stone...

I saw Ahana Di and Dhruv jiju hug each other... While I stood there shocked and frozen...

I only looked at one man right now!

The man standing next to me...

He looked like he got a heart attack!

There was such a horrific expression on his face!

It's like his world had stopped...

Just then Daadi raised a toast and everyone started clapping...

Media started pouring questions on Daadi while I saw Dev walk away like a zombie...

He was so much hurt???😢

Yes I was upset but his this expression...his pain his face was literally pricking my heart💔

My heart had already broken...

His sadness was breaking me apart now 💔😢

If he was this much upset about marrying me then what was that between us for so many days???

I sat in a corner of the open hall... I saw everyone come to congratulate me...

But I was feeling restless...

I had so many questions...

But I could not get out of the crowd that was congratulating me😢😢😢

If only they knew the turmoil inside me...

Soon I saw my grandparents come to me... They hugged me although that smile and happiness they had was also vanished...

Why were we doing this...

I had questions in my heart...

I wanted answers for them...

I saw Daadi walk towards another room that looked empty...

I wanted to talk to her...

I didn't want him to be force feeded this marriage!

It's marriage not a joke!

I ran behind her... While I was about to enter the room...

I saw Dev was literally kicking the walls and punching against it while his Daadi stood there shouting at him..

'Cub... You can't!!! I have took all your tantrums from childhood...not this one!!!
You are not...'

'Oh I will Daadi... If you are stubborn let me tell you I have the same blood inside me... Till engagement it was fine... marriage??? To her??? Seriously?'

I was shocked 🥺

'She is a very good girl Dev... You know that....I have seen the way you look at her...she is special'

'Yes....She is special Daadi...so is my luxury car...my handmade watch and every single suit I wear....shall I marry them all??? At this rate if I had to marry girls I would have had I don't know how many wives!!!'

My heart sank 🥺

'Are you comparing Ishaani with your cheap girlfriends??? Remember Dev none of your relationships lasted without reaching bed...this is your only pure relationship till date... For the first time a girl is in love with you and not your money and power!'

'Yes Daadi... Ishaani is special... She is very attractive...I love spending time with her...I love her warmth... She makes me laugh...she has this strange attraction I get pulled into... She's hot... she's something I never met... But that doesn't mean I marry her right?'

My legs no longer were supporting me to stand there...

I was loosing strength in my legs🥺😢😢

'You are trying to still deny that you love her Dev??? What was that dancing with her? Driving her home? Your Gandikotha trip??? Don't think I don't know anything... Im your grandmother Dev!!! You love her then why don't you want'

'Hold it Daadi... Who told I love her?'

I collapsed 😢🥺

'I like her... she's fun...but the big words you said...
Neither do I believe in them... neither do I feel them...and marriage huhhh... Dev Kapoor is a free bird!

I have seen what marriage does to people!

I'd rather stay single and enjoy my life...

Infact if Ishaani is good we can live in a open relatio'

Before he could complete I saw Daadi slap him hard!

'Shutupppp!!!! Do you know about whom are you talking??? She's Verma's grand daughter...my Veena's grand daughter!!! Above all she's a dignified women who loves you beyond your name and status... I can't believe you can turn into something like this Dev! Chi!!!
How can you???
Ishaani isn't desperate get it???
Learn to value love Dev...
Else one day you will beg and crave for it but it will be far from your reach...
You'll drown into it but still wouldn't be able to reach its depth and satisfy your thirst!!
You'll burn in it!!! But won't be able to feel the warmth!

Realize it before you've lost it son!'

I saw Saudamini Daadi crying...

She sat on a chair...

'Daadi.... don't do this to me... This is not my happiness... Please... Fine...I don't need Gaya's... You can give it away to Dhruv but don't give my mother's dream to that monster Hrishikesh Kapoor!!!

I can't take it!!! Please Daadi🥺😢'

He...

He was begging his grandmother to stop this marriage 😢😢😢😭😭😭

Literally begging her 😢

So...

It's

Clear!

He doesn't love me😢
