The whole house was decorated like a bride. The lights were shimmering, flowers were fragrant and the chuckle of the guests was all around.

She was the only person who was worried among the whole crowd. She has buried something in her heart, no one knew that she was the bride, sitting in her room. The bridesmaid was dressing the bride and finally adorned the mangtika on her forehead when a tear droplet kissed her cheek.

The bridesmaid, the cousin of the bride looked at her and chinned her up, "Nehmat! Are you nervous?," and asked with a smile and continued, "I understand, why are you worried. You are going to leave us, that's why you are ...," and hide her own tears from her cousin, who was meant to be a best friend to her.

"Harleen! I can't leave you all," Nehmat wiped her tears and embraced her sister.

The same time a knock on the door intervened, "Please come, all are waiting for Nehmat," listening this Harleen excused, "Just two minutes, I will be taking her".

"Nehmat, I understand, you have not met the groom yet. You don't even know his name but you want to, but that's are ritual na...," Harleen tried to make her understand.

Nehmat looked into her eyes, "That's my right Harleen, how can ma-papa force me to marry someone who I don't know," and chocked.

A guy entered to the groom's room, when the Panditji announced to call the groom for the rituals of the wedding.

He found none in the room, when he called out, "Veere!," and a paper kissed his foot. He picked it up and read, "I can never marry, because I don't believe in it," the groom announced.

He was shocked and continued reading, "I don't believe in relationships after my mother, and you are the reason for that my dear father. Don't you dare to find me, because before it. I will be too away from all of you" and the letter slipped from his hands.

He shuffled his hair and murmured, "Ab Nehmat ko kya kahega Ekam! That your brother has ran away just few minutes before the marriage"

"Nehmat, everyone is waiting for us. Let's go," Harleen suggested Nehmat who gulped the fresh saliva formed in her throat.

She nodded her head affirmatively, getting the defeat from her stars. They reached the altar when Ekam announced, "Veere has ran away, I am sorry Nehmat."

Nehmat who has compromised with her destiny, and looked towards her mother, all broken in tears, so as her father was tensed, "How can he do this to my daughter."
