Chapter 7

Other's pov:

Finally they agreed to their request half heartedly.

They wanted to meet sagar once before they decide as they have not met him.

They told that he is in bangalore and he will be coming on tuesday directly to the engagement ceremony.

Kumar wasn't satisfied he wanted to meet sagar in petson and check whether he is suitable to his daughter. He cannot let his precious daughter to marry to someone without knowing him better. He also wanted to talk to pandith to cross check regarding dates of engagement and marraige.

Finally kumar and karan both planned to visit sagar in bangalore. Suresh informed to sagar about their arrival and they had planned to meet at restaurant near his office.

In bangalore, Kishore got shock of his life. He never thought his best friend was already for marraige. Sagar called kishore in the morning and had told him to meet at their hangout place early. When swati called him in the evening to inform the news, He couldn't hold back anymore. He barged to sagar office uninformed. Sagar was quite surprised with his visit but he neverthless he was glad now he could tell his interest in marraige to him.

"So, are you sure about your decision?"kishore couldn't stop himself by questioning. Sagar groaned in frustration.

why everyone is asking the same question repeatedly?

"Kishore, i know what i am getting into. It's just a marraige why are you guys making big deal out of it."sagar made annoying face.

"Just answer to this question. Will you be able to keep her happy if not satisfied?" kishore countered him.

"Of course, I will give her all the luxury in the world. Why wouldn't she be happy?"Sagar told in 'duh' tone.

"It's not about luxury and money, as far as i heard from aunty she is lovely person who is blessed with love and care. Could you atleast give her your time " Kishore hissed at him not at all satisfied with his way of thinking.

Not all the girls are after money. It's not his fault as he is always surrounded by opportunist. He cannot help but think people are same as everyone.

"You know how busy i am and still you are asking me which is not in my

hands" sagar could not understand his friend, what he is implying. For once he thought he is doing crime by agreeing to marry.

"Sagar just tell me one thing, Why her?"

Kishore wanted to know why he is so desperated to marry , especially her. When girls were throwing themself on him he wasn't interested. They were rich, upto his status, his taste, why anvitha. He want to know the reason behind his sudden interest in marraige.

"Spill. I know you better than anyone."Kishore threw him warning glare at his side.

With defeated sigh.

"She didn't acknowledge me"sagar said as his eyebrows frowned and his ego seeping inside him.

"What??!!!"kishore was flabbergasted. He couldn't believe his friend. For once he thought he really attracted to her innocence which is rare like a diamond.

"you , what? Unbelievable. Have you gone nuts. I am going to stop this marraige. You cannot marry someone just because your of your ego man. Grow up you moron."kishore threw his hand in air in annoyance.

" YOU.ARE. DOING.NO.SUCH.THING."Sagar pressed each word.

He cannot understand what is kishore problem. Not every marraige sail with love. He had come to this conclusion that one has to marry to shut the society. He was ranging like bull when kishore told that he is stopping the marraige. He coludn't understand why he is getting angry but still he coludn't let go...let go anvitha. He was completely gobsmacked by her beauty but he is not going to confess it. At first sight he wanted her and he be make sure she is his.

"Hell yes, i am stopping this marriage. Stop me if you can."He pushed his chair and got up to leave. Kishore thought he couldn't let poor soul entangled in this meaningless marraige and he couldn't let his friend do mistake.

Sagar visibly panicked. He marched towards him and blocked him from going. Sagar knew he had no other option other than telling him what he felt for her.

He took a deep breath"i am attracted to her. I really like her simplicity. She is simple beauty indeed"sagar had dreamy smile. His smile turned to frown when he remembered her ignorance.

"You know kishore, i have never had interest in girls. They fall for me but i never gave any heed to them. When my eyes captured a beauty i couldn't take off and expected her to look at me at least once but she ignored me."he took deep breath to control his inner turmoil.

"I wanted her to acknowledge me that's is all but when she didn't after trying multiple times i felt bubbling up anger with in me. I felt unwanted, unattended, not important person to her, i never felt like that in my life. When mom talked about marraige, i thought she would look at me knowing i might be her future husband she never did that. That killed me. Someone beside her other than me didn't sit well with me. Her ignorance added fuel to my burning ego. So i did what i felt right. I thought i could show her who I'm, how powerful, successful, efficient, rich and capable i am by marring her. So i agreed to marry her."sagar expressed his feelings as he never hide anything from kishore. Kishore was quite taken back by his talk. He never thought that a simple girl would swipe his friend off his feet. Nevertheless he is happy. He could see how desperated sagar is for her. He wanted to prove himself to her that he is best, Impress her. Why would someone want to do that if another person doesn't hold any place in his life?. He is happy that he found a pure soul instead of fake bimbo in his interest. He knows they would fall in love after marraige once they get to know each other as both are gems apart that egostic bastard doesn't come out of sagar.

Little did he know that egoistic bastard is the sole reason for their misunderstanding.

After a heartfelt talk, sagar felt quite relieved. He started to see anvitha in different way apart from impressing her. He had noticed how selfless and soft spoken she is. He had seen how contagious her smile is, how understanding and supporting she is. He was mesmerised by everything in her but he realised it now. He had faint smile playing on his lips while thinking about her. Kishore noticed his friend smiling to himself and relieved. Soon the time to meet the most 'powerful-protective' person has come so both left to restaurant.

Sagar and kishore reached the restaurant before kumar and karan could reach. Sagar was quite nervous about their meet. A voice interrupted him.

"Sorry, did we make you guys wait for too long?"Kumar asked hurriedly moving towards them.

"No sir, we just arrived. Please be seated."sagar stood up from his chair to greet kumar and karan.

"I'm kumar i am working in mnc company and he is my karan is doing MD and practising doctor. I hope you know why we are here" Kumar introduced himself.

"Yeah sir, as you know I'm sagar. I am the CEO of 'SS TEXTILES' and he is my friend cum partner 'KISH COLLECTION' owner Kishore." Sagar was cut in the middle by sharp tone.

"Why do you want to marry my sister? You are rich, handsome successful. Why my anvi?"karan asked possessively. His heart couldn't settle when he learnt about sagar.

Sagar was tongue tied. He couldn't answer to his question.

"Karan, let me talk." warned him politely.

"Sagar, we don't know the reason behind your interest in my daughter. We are not rich that doesn't mean we will marry her off to anyone to their demand. We love her than anything in the world and which she deserve. If by chance you take this marriage as a pass time i prefer you to stop it here only because i am not letting anyone to play with my daughter life. She is very precious to us." kumar said to sagar.

Sagar however could not conclude what his feelings for anvitha but he wants to marry her and he is going to do it.

"Sir, Why did you marry your wife? I mean why she?" sagar countered kumar.

"Because i felt for her. The urge to marry her."kumar was confused by his question but nevertheless answered.

"Same uncle, I feel she is the ONE FOR ME. I WANT TO MARRY HER....ONLY HER." sagar stated with so much confidence for once kumar thought he is giving her daughter to good hands as suresh and swati were kind and golden hearted people.

"OK, engagement in two days. So when are you coming to mysore,my son"kumar answered his acceptance by accepting him as son.

Sagar was relieved hearing him calling son. He understood that he accepted him as SIL.

"Please, Always keep her smiling. That's all I ask for."Kumar had tears in his eyes while telling him. He was too emotional that he couldn't stop himself from controlling it. He want nothing but her happiness, he wouldn't ask much.

"Always uncle even if i am not alive, i will make sure of it"Sagar promised wholeheartedly in spur of moment.

"I have approved but i still have to ask anvi. Let me call her."kumar fished out his mobile from pocket to call anvitha. She picked up in 3rd ring.

"Papa, Where are you? Where is karan?It's already 9 in the night i am worried." worried anvitha asked kumar unknown to the surrounding. Sagar could hear worry in her voice.

will she be worried even if i come late?

Sagar for once wanted her to worry for him like she is worried now. Think of him crazy he doesn't care.

"Anvi, i am and karan are in bangalore. We will be late. Don't worry i am not alone karan is with and someone very important is also with me."kumar said eyeing sagar. Sagar ears peeked to hear her reply.

"Papa, did you both had dinner? took you tablet? Why you didn't inform me? Amma also didn't tell me about your whereabouts. By the way appa amma ia acting all weird. Is she pregnant, i mean ... i heard that the pregnant lady act weird and all."anvitha was concerned about his health and asked last part in whisper. kumar laughed at her innocence as she doesn't know what is happening around her. It's about her marraige she has no idea avobt it. Kumar had a rough picture of her wife going all crazy for wedding preparation as there is no time ordering their sisters to help her.

Sagar who was curious of their conversation heard their talk and he was quite amused by her and her concern did something to his heart. He had to press his lip and turn other way to hide his laughter. Karan know how typical her sister is rolled his eyes and shared a awkward smile with kishore who was shocked at her.

"I will have food and have tablet. By the way you maa and me have something to tell to and we want your answer. We have a proposal for you and we like the guy and his family. We want your answer; anvi. The decision is yours. If you don't want to get married you can tell me. I have sent you the photo. Have a look and tell me your answer."kumar said to anvitha. Here sagar heart was thumping against his rib cage. He was scared of her rejection.

"Papa, your wish. I don't have to see the photo. Do as you please"anvitha told in above whisper tone.

Kumar was delighted. He knew she would never go against him. Sagar was annoyed for not checking his photo. He fisted his hand to control his anger at her.

So the marraige has been fixed in 10 days.
