Authors POV

He was standing in middle of the room tomorrow is his engagement the day he will officially get engaged to her, he always waited for this when his love will be officially his in front of the whole world but who would have thought that what was writing in his fate,

His eyes moved to the guitar and the memory of him teaching her how to play guitar flashed in his mind, a smile come on his lips remembering her happy face filled with that innocent smile.

He still remember the first time he meet her in that park how shy she looked, the blush in her cheeks would always make him feel giddy.

He went to the balcony and sat there playing his guitar, this is the only thing which can understand his all pain,

In Aradhaya's room

She was caressing her pendent which Vihaan gift her, she knows tomorrow she will lose him forever , but she will cherish those memories all her life. She felt a movement beside her and smiled.

"You know Nisha when the first time we both landed on London airport we both were ready to bury each other in the sea of insult, he used to behave Soo arrogantly , you know I used to call him mannerless arrogant guy." Aradhaya laughed remember the past where she Vihaan used to fight like cat and mouse.

"But then on that party changed everything, I got to know that maybe he is not that bad as I thought him to be, that was the first step towards our friendship, and then slowly we become friends and don't know when and how this all happened, but trust me I don't regret those moments because those memories are the most precious." Aradhaya said turning towards Nisha who was smile a little towards her.

"You should sleep Nisha it's already late." Aradhaya told her when her gaze fall on the clock.

"How can I sleep knowing my best friend is going through pain and anyway I won't get sleep you know why, let's talk whole night in this way both us will be distracted." Nisha said smiling and Aradhaya chuckled nodding.

Next day

"Brother please set it properly." Aradhaya told the person decorating railings with flowers.

She turned around to check the food when her gaze fall on Vihaan who was leaning on the wall looking at her intently, he was not ready but Aradhaya didn't talked, she avoided his gaze and went to check the drinks.

"Aradhaya what are you doing Vivian is there to check everything you go and get ready everyone is almost ready the guest and media will arrive within half hour." Mala said to her who was checking the drinks for final time.

Aradhaya turned and smiled." Sorry aunty but I can't help it it's not everyday nah that I get to check the preparation of my sister engagement." Aradhaya said with a smile but there was a hidden in her eyes.

Mala smiled." I know you are excited dear but you have to get ready to nah go check if the girls are ready or not." Mala said and she nodded.

In Amaya rooms.

"I hate lehenga's yaar." Amaya whined lifting her lehenga and sitting on the bed with sulking face.

"Amaya if you are not comfortable in lehenga then you could have chosen any other outfit." Shreya said wearing her ear rings.

"What could I have done mom chosen this for me and I couldn't deny her could i." Amaya said sulking.

(Amaya's look)

"You know Shreya I m feeling jealous of you , you are wearing so comfortable clothes and here I m ducked in this hideous clothes." Amaya said irritated to which Shreya's and Vidushi laughed and Nisha smiled.

(Vidushi look)

(Shreya's look)

(Nisha's look)

"Di it's your engagement don't spoil your mood because of these silly things." Aradhaya said entering the room.

"See you are looking Soo beautiful." Aradhaya pulled her up and made her stand in front of mirror. Amaya smiled but then frowned looking at her.

"Aru why are you not ready yet see it's almost the Time for the party." Amaya said.

"I will make her ready , Aradhaya come with me." Nisha said and dragged her out who was about to protest.

" Umm I go and check if the boys are ready or not." Shreya suddenly said standing up.

"Check the boys or check Rey bhai's look." Vidushi said teasingly wriggling her eyebrows.

"Shut up." Shreya said as a tint of red covered her cheeks, she snapped and walked out

Vidushi laughed." Bhaabi you wait I m going to tease these two more." Saying this Vidushi followed her.

Amaya was looking at herself in mirror when she heard a voice.

"As much as beautiful you are looking but I m feeling bad that the purpose of wearing these won't be full filled."

She fisted her hand looking at him as anger filled her vain." What the hell are you doing here." She said angirly trying not to raise her voice, she waited to confront him from these many days but he didn't meet her and today she didn't wanted to spoil her mood now.

Veer smriked." How rude , but still let me tell you, I m here to spoil my Soo called friend engagement." He said.

Amaya frowned." Listen to me very clearly Veer, I m well aware that those photos were sent by you to my parents and relatives and it's only because of you that i m getting married this early, you know I Soo want to slap you but I don't want to spoil my mood today Soo I m telling you politely leave." She told him pointing towards the door, trying to sound calm .

"This is the thing which I like most about you Amaya your intelligence, but how can I leave without spoiling this engagement, and yeah I also forget to told you to that you have a shoot tomorrow early morning for which you have to leave tonight for London." He asked smiling slyly.

"Today I m not going to do anything you say....I m not becoming your puppet anymore." Amaya shouted at him.

"Think carefully Amaya if you deny your Today then not only you will lose your dream but also your parents trust and love, remember when that day you didn't listened to me about not going to Mala maa's birthday and I told you that you will face the consequences, those photos are those consequences and I m Hope you are intelligent enough to not deny me today, just think where will Vihaan's reputation go if the whole world knows how he played with his family's trust Hy playing that twisted game." Veer said his voice was dark and calm

"If I go with you that way to Vihaan reputation will be damaged that his fiance runaway on the day of the engagement, either way it's going to spoil his reputation and I chose to face the consequences with my sister and fiance rather then leaving them alone." Amaya told him sharply and started to walk.

It all happened within blink, Veer grabbed her wrist and pulled her towards him cause her to bump into his chest, he pressed spot on her neck,

"I m sorry." Amaya heard before she slipped into darkness.

"Nisha what was the need of these lehenga I could have worn something simple nah." Aradhaya said, she was trying hard to distract herself she didn't wanted to shed tears on her sister happy day.

(Aradhaya's look)

Nisha rolled her eyes." And let you look like a zombie out of those Hollywood movies." She said sarcastically.

Aradhaya sighed at her sarcasm." Let's go to di's room and get her downstairs." She said and was about to move but Nisha grabbed her hand.

"Aradhaya I know you are showing that you are completely fine but I know you breaking each second inside, one request hide as much as you want from everyone but please not from me , our situation might be different yet it's same , you are the victim of forbidden love and I m the victim of unrequired love, Soo i won't say  that I understand your pain because no one can feel the same pain a person feelings but I can at least say that by letting you feelings out you might feel a bit better." Nisha said in one breath , and took deep breath to fill her lungs.

Aradhaya looked at her amused." Thank you Nisha I m really glad that I find you but I can't let myself be weak today , all my life I lived in fairytale now it's time to face the reality , let's go ." She said walking towards Amaya's room.

She knocked on the door but saw the door open, confused she entered inside and saw the empty room. Panic rose in her chest she check the bathroom but Amaya was not there to.

"Nish.. Nisha where is di." Aradhaya asked panicked.

"Aru stop panicking she must be somewhere aro....." Nisha was cut of by the beeping of Aradhaya's Mobile.

Aradhaya opened her message,

"Aru I can't attend my engagement, i have my reasons which I can't tell you now but I can't attend the engagement, and yes don't find me because I m not in Rajasthan and I will be back tomorrow morning."

She slumped on the chair after reading it , her mind was blank, Nisha took the mobile and read the message.

"What the heck , how can she do this." Nisha said angirly.

"What will I do now Nisha , everyone has arrived, the media , the guest everyone is waiting for di , if now they get to know that today there won't be any engagement, can you think how much our reputation will be damaged." Aradhaya said keeping her head on her hand.

They heard knocking and immediately both of them froze." Amaya dear let's go downstairs everyone is waiting for you." They heard mrs.patel voice and Nisha could see Aradhaya shivering in fear.

"Aunty you go I m coming with Amaya in few minutes." Nisha said.

"Okay dear but come fast." They heard the retiring foot steps.

"We have to do something fast Aradhaya,." Nisha then her gaze fall on Aradhaya.

God I don't know if what I m going to do is right or wrong please forgive me Nisha thought

"I know what to do." Nisha said and Aradhaya looked at her,

_____________________

"Where is Amaya." Mala asked to Mrs.patel.

"Nisha said she will bring her." Mrs.Patel said.

"There she is but why did she changed the lehenga." Vidushi asked in confusion.

Everyone gaze fall on the girl climbing down the stairs wearing beautiful white lehenga looking not less than a bride.

Aradhaya's heart was beating loudly in her heart as she clutched Nisha's hand tightly,

"Bhaabi why did you changed the lehenga though you are looking beautiful in this to." Vidushi asked.

"While I was giving some final touches to her face , the lehenga got strained." Nisha lied.

Vidushi nodded." Let's take her to the stage." Vidushi said excitedly as three of them walked towards the stage where Vihaan was standing.

Vihaan heart skipped when Aradhaya stood in front of him, but he doesn't know why this is not his Aradhaya but her face looked like Aradhaya that innocence and simplicity, but her eyes they were black, his heart told him it's his Aradhaya but his mind refused.

Vidushi come with the Ring." Here now common exchange the rings hurriedly Soo I can click many photos with you guys." She said and everyone laughed expect Nisha , Aradhaya and Vihaan.

Vihaan took the ring, but all the while his mind was flashing the memories of Aradhaya's, her innocence smile, her sparkling brown eyes, her simplicity, her naivity.

"Bhai common hurry." Vivian said who was standing beside him.

Vihaan took her sweaty hand in his hand and immediately felt the warmness in heart, the restlessness in his heart disappeared and he felt his soul in calm, he slipped the ring in her finger.

That simple ring made Aradhaya felt more heavy then anything , it was more like a throne. She loved Vihaan but she didn't wanted this never.

"Bhaabi now whom are you waiting for common." Vidushi said.

Why are you making this more difficult Gannu ji Aradhaya thought, as she picked up the ring with shaky hand , she always dreamed and wished to be officially be claimed by the person she loves but not like this, this was a punishment, she always dreamed of walking in a path of rose but fate make her walk in the path of thrones.

She shakily slipped the ring in his finger as a tear escaped her eye which was unnoticed by everyone except Nisha and Vihaan...........
