Anvitha's pov:
Everyone reached home including my to be and his parents. I directly left to my room as i don't have energy to face anymore drama. I was asked to come down for dinner but i declined politely by telling i am not feeling good and i am sleepy as i could hear commotion downstairs. They let me be as they know i am not in state of mind to come out and act casually after everything happened.
I could hear my papa disapprove this marraige.
And i could hear sagar parents desperately assuring that such kind of problem will not happen in future.
I don't understand why they are hell bent to marry me to his son?
By the way where is sagar? i couldn't hear him.
Oh God! He should be the least person i should be thinking now.
Let me get away from this world escaping into my balcony.
I opened the door of my balcony to have a look at my calming star. Cool soothing breeze touch my skin as i stepped in balcony. I forget everything when i gaze at the star.
Twinkling in dark background there stood star to show it's presence to gain everyone attention towards it which is quite unlike me. I hate to gain attention but that quality in me pull me to unwanted problems.
I am here to seek for peace but my mind is full of today's event.
What have i ever did to deserve this?
What have i ever did to gain so much of hatred?
Just Because i am average girl with normal background and no job doesn't mean they can belittle me like that.
I didn't force to marry him it's other way around.
I don't understand this society just because we lack in some concepts doesn't mean they treat us like this.
Did they thought how their words would affect me?
It hurts a lot when someone disrespect us.
I might be financially poor but I am rich by heart and love.
I might not have money like them but I have trust worthy people to support us.
I might not be professionally high amd mastered in subjects but i know how to treat someone and how to behave.
I am way too better than anyone from those type of people.
I feel like crying, shouting, throwing them out of this universe but i stayed quite.
I took deep breaths to control my emotions. I don't want to show my weakness. I don't want to satisfy their ego by crying.
Importantly, i don't want my parents to feel guilty by choosing wrong person as my life partner.
That is the last thing i want.
I heard a knock on the door. I moved in closing the door behind.
I heard the lock open and karan entered the room tiptoe.
I frowned my eyebrows in confusion.
He carefully closed the door behind not making any noise.
What is wrong with him? Why is he acting weird?
He moved towards my ear and whispered "ice cream outing".
"I am in" i squealed , overjoyed.
"Sshhh, anvi. Don't make noise everyone is sleeping."karan whispered pulling my ear.
I didn't realise it's already too late and everyone slept.
"Oh, what is the time?" i pulled his ear this time little hard.
You know we should return favor with little extra...lol...
Late night ice cream with sibling is deadly combination.
"Half past one" i gasped hearing it.
Indeed it's too late. If papa get o know we are going out at this time we are dead. He read my mind and answered.
"We can go through your balcony. I have brought the bedsheet to get down" he told me like he did a big job.
Indeed, he did a great job. I grinned ear to ear.
"Stop grinning. Don't waste time. Come let's go."He rolled his eyes. He gently pulled me holding my wrist to balcony. I could see his lips twitch a bit.
Soon we tied our bedsheets together and dropped it down.
First i got down later he climbed down. It is not something new, we go out frequently like this. It is our little secret there big also, will let you know in future.
Corner house is 2 Street across our's so we can go by walk.
There was no one in the street except us.
We were followed by our friends aka Street dog.
They are used to our little night unplanned adventure. So they don't mind us. In fact they walk us to corner house and viceversa. They are our bodygaurd in this night.
Thank god the dogs are used to our night dress unlike other dog they don't bark if they see us in different avatar.
Our walk to the ice cream shop was pure silent. I could feel karan reluctance to ask me something and i know what he want to know from me.
I will wait for him to start. For now i want to enjoy this silence cool breeze and of course ice cream.
"One chocolate cake with vanilla icecream and one blackcurrant with waffles "karan ordered. I sat in our usual spot under big tree.
Karan got our order and me being me jumped on ice cream as soon as i got a glimpse of it.
After finishing ice cream i felt kind of relieved and my sad mood changed to happy mood.
I feel light and calm.
Karan shoved hot water bottle at my face.
I couldn't enjoy my peace for even a second an he has to ruin it. I made faces but his one glare is enough to gulp whole in one go.
Over protective controlling jackass.
I grabbed the water bottle and drank full.
I get sick if i didn't drink hot water right after i eat ice cream. My parents wouldn't allow me to eat ice cream as they got to know. I used to sneak at night and eat a lot and get severely sick..As i love ice cream i couldn't stop myself from eating. karan was the one found this tips and it really worked. Thanks to him that i could eat my love. ..my ice cream apart from chocolate flavour.
We sat in pure silence for few minutes untill i spoke.
"Anna, Don't you think they are way too high for us reach." karan was shocked with my statement.
"Anvi, if you don't want to get married to him, Let me know. I will talk to papa. No one is forcing you." karan gently held my hand in his and squeesed to assure me.
Do i like him? Don't know.
Do i want to get married to him? Don't know.
I am neutral, neither i want to get married nor i am not.
"I don't know anna. I am confused." i toldhim truthfully. I hope he can find the correct answer.
"Anvi, papa wanted to call off this wedding" i took a sharp breath. I was feeling anxious. I was feeling i lost something....something big..
I felt sad..
"But they were damn adamant. They wanted you only as their DIL. They somehow convinced papa and promised to take good care of you, support you and treat you like their own daughter"
"Whar does a father want more to his daughter? Finally he agreed."
I kind of felt relieved. I let out the breath i held so far.
But why?
"and by the way i heard sagar like you and head over heel for you."he teased at the end.
'Only if you know' i wanted to say it loud but i rolled my eyes with sarcastic smile.
After a lot of lecture on do and don't once i get married and move with them, katan and i left to home.
Little did i know someone eyes were on me the entire time.
