"No more explanations. Its decieded !!"

"Anand !! Have you gone crazy?? What are you saying??" She was clearly mad at him.

"Haan ...I am mad. Madly in love with you. That is why I took this decision. Now what?? Don't you want to be with me??" He shot a question in return.

Vaishnavi slapped herself. "No! I mean Yes ... I want to be with You. But why do you have to do this?"

"Because I foresee a risk. Anyways we will do this one day. Why should we delay it then? I need you to be there in front of the registrar office at  sharp 10 am tomorrow. If you don't come, you will see me directly in front of your room. So my darling, don't try to be over smart okay??" He said in an extra sweet voice.

"But Anand... " She tried to make him understand.

"No buts! And Don't try to Anandify me. You are coming and we r going to be legally married tomorrow! So, my darling wife to be... Sleep well... enjoy your 'Miss' status tonight. Goodnight mwah" He disconnected the phone without listening to her reply.

"Hello ... fine!" She whined and then chuckled at her man's words. He seemed to be tensed for some reason and suddenly came up with the idea of legal wedding.

She knew that he was not going to spill the beans on "Why this decision". May be not to make her tensed. Yet she trusted him blindly. As he said, today is the last day of her life as "Miss". Tomorrow she is going be "Mrs".

She smiled at the thought.

Mrs Vaishnavi Anand Venkitesh Iyer!

****

Mira jerked up and opened her eyes.

Her dreams are back after a while. The dreams which showed reflections of her past. It was no more her imaginations. But the truth of her life. Her real identity.

She touched her cheeks feeling sweaty. "Mrs Vaishnavi Anand .."
A name which holds her past...

"Tak Tak Tak..." She heard knock on the door. It was Nandu on the other side.

"Sleepy head, come on get ready! we have to check on the decorations and food. Chikkamma is almost ready. Amma Appa and your Jeej's parents are on the way. Did you check on Anamika? Will she be joining?" Nandu asked!

"Oh Shit! I forgot to call Anu !! I will call her now Akka... You please go downstairs. I'll be ready in 15 minutes. What about Abhi? Is he okay to join the party?"

"He may be coming. Didn't confirm." Nandu went downstairs.

"OK I will call him too"

Mira couldn't believe herself that she missed Anu all this while. She was more of a family member than her close friend. She dialed her number.

"Hey Anu... Darling what sup? Where are you now?"

"OH Madam, you remember me now? Is there anything important. else you wouldn't call me. So, tell me! whats the matter?"

"Girl... Stop your nonsense. Btw there is something really important. Today is Amma's birthday and we have arranged a small celebration. So, come home by 7. It was all planed suddenly" She quickly added.

"Oye why don't you say that you forgot about me. Nandu Akka must have reminded you right."

Mira bit her nails as she caught her.

"Hmm No... leave that !  You will come Na"

"Miru... I don't think ill be able to join you. My sister's friend is in town. She wanted to meet me for some things related to her work. I have called Abhi with me. We will be meeting her by 6 today. Ill come there if possible. Else ill be there tomorrow. And please do convey my wishes to Aunty."

"Hmm OK TC... Of Abhi too. He needs support. Which I think you can give him more than myself.

"Hey Anamika.. Yeah we are here at the corner near Starbucks outlet. " Shreya was telling her their location.

"Oh.. We are also near the outlet only. where are you guys?"

"Hey Here...Look on right side" Anu saw a fair girl waving at her and stopped in midway seeing a much familiar face.

She was surprised to meet him there. Abhi looked at the direction and was equally surprised seeing Anand. He walked to them taking Anu along.

"Anand?" Abhi asked. Anand dint expect Abhi and Anamika to be there. All this while, they dint know this connection and had met several times by then.

Shreya took the lead and introduced herself to them. She introduced Anand to which he was silent and turned to introduce Kartik. Anu was shocked to meet him.

"Kartik...?" She asked in disbelief.

"Yeah... I am Kartik. So you are Anamika. Am glad that you know me. Your sister must have introduced me right." He said sarcastically.

"Yes ! She only did that !" Anu bit her teeth in anger.

"Abhi, lets go from here. I dint know this cheaters were here" Anu stood up for leaving. she was on fire. Abhi was perplexed seeing her reaction. He dint know what was wrong.

"Excuse me !! Cheaters? Ask your sister and you will get to know it better." Anand was also angry.

"Guys guys please calm down. We are not here to create scenes. Look! Everyone is watching us. Idk whats is the relation between you guys and why this much anger. We will sort it out later" Shreya intervened and turned to Anu.

" Anamika, see There is something really important I have to discuss with you. Please calm down. Please atleast for me." She pleaded.

"And you two ! Keep your hatred story with yourself now. Else, go home ! Ill talk to her and join you guys" She was clearly irritated with the two men.

Abhi held Anu and asked her to calm down to which she responded positively.
The situation was under control with Anand and Kartik being silent.

"So let me introduce myself in detail. I am Shreya Viswanath, basically from chennai. I work with Avantika. I know Anu knows me but you doesnt right?" He tirned to Abhi to which he nodded.

"I am Abhinav reddy. Anu's friend." He too introduced.

" So these two men. Anand and Kartik are my friends. Actually Anand is my friend Vaishnavi's husband and Kartik is his college bestie."

"They know me well. We have met a couple of times with Vaishu. Abhinav was the one who was going to marry her. And I met Anamika too. She was the one who referred Vaishu as Mira." Anand spoke and Abhi nodded which added shock to Shreya.

"Yeah actually we have met. But certainly not under good circumstances. Anand, what do you want now? Why are you behind Mira?? She clearly doesnt like you. She is indeed happy with her parents and Us. Why are you here for her? She doesnt even like your presence!! "

Anand sighed deeply. Normaly he would be angry with this. But the morning encounter with her made him weak.

"Abhi ! I am tired. I know you have seen her hatred for me. But trust me, she is under dillusion. Or she might be acting. She isnt any Mira. She is Vaishnavi. My wife... my life... I dont know why she is with you guys" He was emotionally down.

"Ohh.. So you cant live without her? Then end your life. She will atleast have a peaceful life from then on. Isnt it enough that you destroyed her life with all your lies?? You made her believe that you loved her? And?? You used that love to cheat her too. Now you want her again. For what Mr Anand Venkitesh Iyer??" Anamika was  damn angry.

"No ! He havent cheated on her. Its all a lie. Misunderstanding. He indeed hid some things from her. But never cheated on her." Shreya interupted.

"Wait. So she isnt Mira. You guys know it too. Then why? Why is she pretending to be someone else ? You guys are all acting right!" Kartik made a point.

"Well, you are partially right. We all know that she isnt Mira, but your Vaishnavi. By we, I meant everyone Except her, who is currently living a happy life. Mira aka your Vaishnavi is blessed with so many good people around her. She has the love of parents, siblings and a good bunch of friends and family. Its under strange situations that she became our Mira. Now she is indeed Mira infront of the world. And we cannot let her past haunt again as it will shatter her happy world." Abhi was strong.

"Yes! She is our Mira. Vaishnavi is a closed chapter. She doesnt need any Anand Kartik or Shreya in her life. I cant see my bestfriend suffering again" Anu was also sticking on to the same point.

"Anu, Abhi ! Please listen. Idk how she became your Mira. I guess you only know some portion of the truth about Vaishu. Atleast give me a chance to explain. You guys can decide watever you want after that." She held Anu's hands and pleaded.

"Please... You said Mira is your best friend and you cant see her suffer. Then listen ! Vaishnavi is my bestfriend. I dont want her to suffer either. Please..."

Abhi and Anu wanted to know the truth behind Anand. They wished to know if they have missed out any important thing in Vaishu's life. Hence they gave Shreya a chance to explain her version of the "The Truth."

The truth of Anand and Vaishnavi's life story !!

***

The celebration was a close knit affair. Nandu's family, Aryans family, Shettys Iyers and Miru's little friends.

The cake was cut and Savitri fed the first piece of cake to her daughter. Miru was so happy. She showed tounge to her Appa teasing him and hugged her Amma. Prabhakar in return, applied the cream on her face. It was all happy crazy moments for the people out there.

Last two years, it was just the three of them and Nandu's family. Now Savitri was truely happy with the presence of her dear ones. She looked at her daughter who was busy feeding cakes to the elders and kids. This girl has been a blessing to them. None would dare to say that she isnt her own.

A tear drop fell from her eyes and someone caught it at the right time. She looked up to find her husband looking at her with all his love.

"Prabha.." She mumbled.

"Shh.. I know ! You love her too much right." He asked and she could only nod.

"Are we doing the right thing? Shall we try once more to find him. What if there is some misunderstanding?"

"We can do that! But Why do you think so????"

"I really dont know. Her dreams are something which I am really worried about. What if she gets her memory back? She should not blame us for hiding things. Also with that boy coming back for her, make things complicated. Why would he come back if he had another girl in his life? And when he was going to marry someone else?. Its all confusing"

"Hmm you have a point. We will see that. Now my darling wife, please be happy and concentrate on our family. Seetha and Venky are also here. So tc of them too. Okie??"
He tapped her cheeks and Savitri nodded in Yes.

Seetha and Venkitesh on the other side was pretending to be cheerful. They were genuinely happy for their Savitri as she got a beautiful loving family who cares for her a lot. But, this same day is special for them also.

The day their son was born. Though Venkitesh was angry with him for his immature behavior, deepdown he missed his Son like anything. In fact he was dissappointed with him for his deeds. Currently, Anand isnt with them but God had twisted plans and they are with a girl who exactly looked like their daughter in law.. Neither Seetha nor Venky mentioned anything about Anand to anyone. Not even with each other.
They didn't want to see their better half sad in this happy occassion.

"Ahhh Stop there Chinnuu... Rohan, catch him." Miru was running behind little friend and accidently stepped on to a gift box. She took it and turned it to see the name of person gifted it.

To our ever loving Sister Savitri
Happy Birthday !
- Mr and Mrs Venkitesh Iyer

A sudden thought shook her whole being. Before she could think anything further, Rohan took the gift away from her and pushed towards the hall where other kids were playing.

Miru's mind wandered around some thoughts but she couldnt analyse it as she was caught up with her loved ones.
