(Hi friends, First of all sorry for the late update. Friends, my phone fell down and was broken. I got new phone, few days back and due to pooja functions I was very busy. Forgive me friends and Thank you for your patience)

The priest announced, "Both the horoscope are matched perfectly. I have marked three good days in next month as Oct 22, Oct 25, Oct 28. You could select as per your wish," he informed seeing both the families. Both the families jumped out of Joy. Janu stood embarrassed about her marriage. Just a month to go!!! Akshadh plop down in the chair and bend his head down worryingly. Though he send silent prayers to God often, he didn't get any good response instead the marriage was fixed too early. Akshadh didn't expect this. He cupped his face with his palm bending his head down. He was unable to switch to any decision. His broken heart shattered into pieces. A lonely tear touched the corner of his eyes.

Both the family discussed among themselves as the wedding places were already decided by them but due to confusion in marriage date everything  was in pause and now after confirming the date they booked the auditorium. Finally they came up with a mutual decision. Janu's father announced the marriage date on 25th in their family temple and thereby subsequent functions in J.H auditorium, Mumbai. Then, Akshadh's maa announced the reception date on Oct 28, Grandeur Hall, Delhi. Akshadh heard everything dumbstruck and got up from the place immediately.

Akshadh was stumbling as he felt weak to see the weird situation  in front of him. After few minutes of struggling  he head forward to his maa and said, "Maa, I am going to hospital and I will come lately," his maa interrupted in-between but without hearing her Akshadh took his bike keys and went out.

Janu's family looked at him casually thinking that their son-in-law's profession is the busiest one. They didn't mistake him. Janu didnt expect anything from him as she knew that he won't look at her for a second and that what happened actually. Her least expectations on him didn't hurt her much.

Later on, everyone had their dinner together. Akshadh's maa felt worried for her son's absence  and it was clearly visible in her face. She often looked at Siddhu. Siddhu didn't show any sign as he felt guilt neither he can't support his brother nor console his maa. Siddhu stood awkward and he was literally worrying about his brother's love. He was thinking how his brother could solve this situation?

Janu's parents felt a sudden change in Akshadh's maa, they understood her worries. Janu tried to console her mother in law that her parents won't mistake Akshadh's absence. After that Akshadh's maa regained her happiness  back. She felt proud of Janu for tackling and handling the situation properly. After the happy talk, Janu and her family left as they had flight at 7 p.m from Delhi.

Akshadh came home after their departure. He didn't talk to anyone and went to his room straightly.

*************

Janu and her family reached home at early morning due to delayed flight. The drizzling rain highlights the beauty of Mumbai city. Janu heads towards her room and fell in the bed as she felt exhausted. Sleep drift her quickly and she had a sound sleep.

At 10.00 a.m

The sun rays travels through the narrow hole brighten the room. Janu opened her eyes slowly with a small smile in her face thinking about her marriage. The marriage dreams occupied her fully from the morning itself. She was counting the days and not one month is more. She was recollecting random feelings in her like what to buy, to provide, to invite, to cherish etc.

Hardly, After coming out of the thoughts she took hot shower and dressed up casually. She stood in front of the mirror admiring her beauty. He left her hair in air. After applying the cream she pasted a bindhi. Then she wore kajal and lip gloss. Later, she took the notepad and listed out the things to be purchased for her wedding. She remembered only few things and read down again and again. Then,  she took her mobile and contacted Dhiya.

"Hello, Dhiya. How are you buddy? Are you free now?"

"Now, I was busy looking at a case, Janu. I will be available at evening. Anything urgent Janu?"

"Nope, Dhiya. Pink me after your work, I will come to the hospital to pick you?" Janu said happily.

5.30 p.m Evening

After completing her works,  Dhiya took her bag and stepped forward towards her car. Remembering, Janu's call she felt blank as she knew that Janu was going to talk about her marriage for hours. Knowingly, Dhiya called her as she don't want to hurt Janu by any means.

Janu picked up the call in second ring, "Hey Dhiya. Where are you now?"

"Way to home, Janu"

"My goodness, come to Sanji Mall. I need to purchase something,"

Unable to ignore her, Dhiya reached the mall within few minutes.

There Janu waited for Dhiya, they just shared a smile for a second then Janu took the list to be purchased from her bag and handed to Dhiya. Both the ladies pick up the items as soon as possible. They completed the shopping and was about to have the dinner. Janu kept all the purchased items in her car and both moved towards food court. They sat opposite to each other. Dhiya was nervous to hear her wedding date. Janu was excited to share the incidents  that happened in Akshadh's home.

Janu ordered veg fried rice and paneer butter masala. Dhiya ordered a plain ghee dhosa with chutney. Both were waiting for arrival of the ordered food. Dhiya bend her head down as she can't face Janu who was excitedly looking at Dhiya to share about her love desires.

"Dhiya, why don't you ask me about yesterday's visit? Are you okay?" Janu asked knitting her eyebrows.

"I hope you would tell me Janu. Yeah, I felt exhausted due to hospital Janu,"

"Ok doctor," Janu said kidding. Dhiya smiled at her.

"Dhiya, my marriage date was fixed," she said scrolling in the chair happily.

Dhiya felt uncomfortable as she is facing her. Dhiya pasted a fake smile in her lips.

"Good to hear, Janu," she said casually.

"Coming oct 25th is our wedding, Janu was very excited about it. I never thought that my love life would come this earlier in my life. I thank God,"

Dhiya's face turned pale and tears occupied her eyes. She blinked intermittently to hide the tears from flowing. Unable to control the formed tears in her eyes, she wantedly make her purse to fall. Then, she bend down to pick the purse. She cried and wiped her tears away. Then, thinking Janu's smile is more important for her and she got up gathering all her strength not to shed tears in front of her.

"Congratulations Janu, you will the most happiest girl from this moment," Dhiya said from her heart. Meanwhile, The waiter brought food and both of them had their food.

When Dhiya was about to return home, Janu called her as she needs to talk something.

Dhiya turned to see Janu and Janu came runningly and hugged Dhiya. Dhiya stood confusingly unable to hug her back.

"Dhiya, do you know how much I love Akshadh? But he didn't love me back. He has an affair and he told me straightly.  I love his genuineness. I can't  give up my love. Whatever and whoever may be I can't give him. I need to marry him and spend my rest of life together with him happily," Janu whispered and tears rolled down from Dhiya's eyes moisten her cheeks.
