Chapter 26

Vidhi

So today I am getting married with Ashish. Though how badly I wanted to marry Nikhil. Ashish said that he will do something and he has a plan to stop this wedding. I am putting all my trust on him now. I don't know what he will do.

I looked up and saw my reflection in the mirror. I was wearing the red lehenga which is a wedding dress. I wanted to wear this dress on my wedding but I didn't thought that my marriage will be done like this. I had tried so much to say no but they send some ladies who has forcefully made me wear this.

Though this dress is beautiful but it is making it is making me wonder again and again if I deserve this. I don't know what is his mission? I want to know and maybe my mother know something as sometime I had heard her saying this name. I have to do something before something else happen.

"Now it is time for you to go." One lady said and I looked away.

"What an attitude." She said and I didn't looked at her.

"Come with us with your willing or else we won't be having the problem go drag you down." She said.

"I don't want go. Please leave me alone." I spatted.

"Show this attitude to someone else." She said and grabbed my hand and started to drag.

"Why don't you leave me alone? " I asked her.

"We wish we could. But see our fate that we have given your responsibility. Now don't talk much and come with us." She said and forcefully started to drag me. The dress was also heavy which was also making my energy drain out.

"Please leave me. I don't want to marry." I said but her hold got tighten only.

"Don't argue young lady. You have to marry him by hook or crook." She said and again dragged me. I was feeling hurt by this continues pulling. She had brought me to the pavilion and made me sit around the scared fire. Why I am even in this thing.

"Get ready to become my daughter in all soon Vidhi." Mr. Verma said in my ear and it sent chills through me. I glared at him.

"Oh little Vidhi focus on your wedding." He said and I couldn't say how much I am feeling hatred now. I want to kill him with my very own hand. I looked over Ashish but his face was covered with the

Flowers which were hanging in front of him.

The priest started to say the mantra for our wedding. From inside all I was doing was prayer that soon Ashish will do something and would bring us out from this trouble. I had never thought that I will have a wedding like this one. I don't want to get married to my friend as it will only disturb our relationship. I am totally helpless now. I sighed.

My mother who was very happy when she was coming to meet me but now her happiness along with mine is soon going to be in dust. I don't know if this marriage happens than what will happen. I was on the edge of crying but I hold on myself. I have to fight with this situation. As much I know Ashish also doesn't want to marry me. So he will do something to stop this wedding. But why my instance are saying that this wedding is definitely going to happen.

"Please stand up." The priest said and we stand up. I know what this will bring. If we took the seven rounds of this scared fire than we will become husband and wife and every round contains a promise which is taken by husband and wife. This promises are very special to couple. And I don't know what will they mean to me.

"Please take the round of the fire." He said and Ashish grabbed my hand. His hand send something inside me and I could feel that it is familiar. This touch is familiar. Is the bridegroom is Nikhil? I don't know but if it is than I am very happy. I could forget everything but I can't forget how his touch make me feel alive. We started to take the round of the fire. Soon it came to an end and I still have a doubt if he is Nikhil or not? I am wishing that he is here and near me.

The priest gave the bridegroom the Mangalasutra and he wrapped it around my neck and than the priest gave him vermilion which he follows between my parted hair.

"I now announce you as husband and wife." The priest said and I looked down. I don't know in coming time if I will be able to meet my mother or not.

"Congratulations Mr. Verma. You had got my two friends married without any trouble." I heard Ashish voice and looked up and found him with Garv. They both were holding the gun. If they are here then is Nikhil really beside me.

"If you are there than who is beside Vidhi." Mr. Verma said. I went towards him and unfold his face and saw Nikhil who was smiling ear to ear. I quickly hugged him.

"You have taken long time to come over her." I said and tear were falling down my eyes.

"I have to find you as well. I had to you that we are destined to be together and see we are together." He said and hold me tight.

"You have done a wrong deed son." Mr. Verma said and was searching for something.

"Are you looking for this?" Ashish asked and I looked at him and he was holding a gun.

"You. get the guns out." Mr. Verma said. Nikhil hold my hand and smiled at me and stand up along with me and started to take me towards Garv and Ashish. I hugged Garv who patted my back.

"Everything is fine." He said and I nodded.

"Vidhi take this gun and show them how much strong you are." Ashish said and handed me the gun and I took it happily. I indeed wanted the revenge from them. I aim the gun and started to fire. Though I haven't kill anyone but at least made them unstable for few minutes.

"Please take everyone from here." Garv said and a police force come inside and take all of them from there. I was glad that the nightmare has came to an end finally.
