Reyhaan's PoV

I stopped the car infront of my office and stormed inside without bothering about all the staffs who are now staring at me. I barged into my cabin and fall down on the chair. Closing my eyes I started travelling through all the past memories of my life. It was not less than a movie story.

Flashback:

I was busy working in my laptop when suddenly mom entered into my room with a sad face.

"Reyhaan, can I talk with you for a few minutes?"she asked making me alert.

"Why do you need my permission? I am your son, right? Go ahead."I assured her.

She kept quiet for a minute without even looking at me.

"Mom, what happened? Anything wrong?"I was tensed.

"Reyhaan, it's about your marriage."she spoke making me surprise.

"Are you kidding me? I made it clear for you long back. I have no marriage plans for next 5 years atleast. I have more to achieve mom. I believe in myself."

I was always proud of myself.

"I know Reyhu. If it was my choice I wouldn't have forced you. But..."she paused.

"What are you saying mom? Who else will decide on my marriage if it's not me and you?"I held her shoulders and she returned me a teary smile.

"Reyhaan.."she sat on bed tired.

I couldn't see her like this. This is enough for me. Seeing her like this makes me weak. She was always strong and this is not my mom sitting infront of me.

I made my way to her and sat beside her. I took her hands into mine.

"Mom, tell me. You just know that I would be always with you."I assured her from heart.

"Reyhu. Please agree for this marriage. For our family, for us, for your sister."She pleaded and I lost all my control.

"Mom, stop requesting me. Don't cry please. This is more than what I can handle."I hugged her to calm her down.

She wiped her tears and looked at me with determination.

"What were you telling about?"I asked.

"Did you agree for this marriage? Tell me that first."she asked hopefully.

I was shocked. I don't even know with whom I am getting married with. But mom is my priority. I didn't even need to think more.

"Mom, I am ready." I said making her relaxed.
"Now tell me. With whom you want me to get married?"

"Sumeet Khanna's daughter. Praveen's sister."She replied shocking me.

"Did they have a daughter? I didn't see her there till now. "I was confused.

"Yes. They have. I have seen twice or thrice."she said.

"But why they want me to marry her?"I was angry at Khanna's.

"I don't know anything Reyhu. They are actually blackmailing me. If you dont marry her, they threatens to cancel the partnership deal.  It will make huge loss to our company."

"Mom, relax. This is not gonna affect us. I can help you to cope up with any loss. Remember you are not alone."I assured but she was still not in peace.

"If it was about loss only, I would have given least care. Its not just about money. But our reputation too. Our hardwork of many years. Everything would be ruined. And what about Rithu's life? She should also suffer. I am getting scared Reyhaan. Please do something."she spoke losing all hope.

I clenched my fist and gritted teeth in anger. How can people stoop low to this level?

"Mom, don't worry. I agree for this marriage. Nothing is more important for me than you. Even my life."

She hugged me and cried. I tried hard to console her.

"But mom, what would she get from this marriage?"I asked doubtful.

"She would get the wife status of Reyhaan Suryavanshi. Daughter in law to us. Isn't that enough? Any girl would dream of that."she smirked.

I would give her what she wants. My wife status and daughter in law of Suryavanshi. Except my heart and love.

I decided finally.

"Mom, tell them that I am ready to marry her." With that I walked away frustrated.

Flashback end

I am really sorry Roshini. I lost you. It was my mistake. I hated you for no mistake of yours and now I am suffering for that. But I promise that soon I would retrieve you back in my life. I would shower you with all my love and make you feel worth. Only you can complete me. I am waiting for that day when you will become mine.

Roshini's PoV

Right now I am crying badly inside my room. His words made me shock. Nobody told me that I have a share in this property. I care least about that. But the ways they are choosing to snatch that from me, it's really disgusting. They could have directly demand me that. I don't want anything. I am aware that I am not their biological daughter. I don't deserve anything in their wealth. But seriously why should they get me married to get rid of me? To get me out of this house so that I won't know about the share.

I only wish for a bit of love from them. Neither their money nor their property. But they told me that I only deserve hatred and disgust.

Anyway I didn't ruin one more life. That's the only relief I have.

What if that marriage had happened? He would have done the same with me that my family is doing right now. Treating me like a maid, cursing me with all words, blaming me for everything, laying hands on me, restricting me from everything, character assasinate me. He is lucky to get rid of me even before I becomes a part of his life.

I still remember when my mother dropped that bomb infront of me.
"Roshini, you are going to be a bride soon. And guess what. You are not just a bride, but the bride of none other than Reyhaan Suryavanshi."

I had no idea that time about why she did that. I was shocked. I heard about him earlier and also read some articles about him. Only few times he did visit here apart from his sister's marriage. My marriage has been decided with him. That too without my knowledge and consent. I didn't know how to react. I didn't know why he agreed to marry me. Mom told that every girl desires to marry him. Let it be. But I didn't. Noone asked me my opinion regarding my own marriage. That hurted me. Above all I didn't know the reason why he agreed to marry me. I lost my sleep thereafter.

Anyway he is not in the picture now. He has been saved from this unwanted marriage. Saved from me. I am glad I took that step. May be that's why he is showing me some concern. But I just want to escape from him forever. I don't want to see him. Isn't it too much to ask for?

May be he is too following me for that share. I don't want anything. Let them take it. I only care about my peace. God, please stop testing me.

Reyhaan's PoV

I was sleeping peacefully when I felt someone touching my forehead. I slowly opened my eyes to see mom caressing my head. With all her affection and love. I smiled at her. She stopped me when I tried to get up from bed.

"Reyhaan, sleep. I was just checking on you."

I removed her hands and sat down on bed comfortably. I made her sit beside me.

"Mom, are you worried about me?"I asked realizing her tension.

"I don't know Reyhaan. Now a days I am seeing so many bad dreams. All about you."

"That's good. You can't even stop watching me during sleep."I joked.

"Reyhu. This is not fun. I am worried about you. Once you have escaped from a danger that may even cost your life. Because of luck. I am scared whether anything like that happen again."she said making me laugh.

"Ok what do you want me to do?"

"I want to see you settle down."she said making me amazed.

"Mom, I am not a girl for you to worry unnecessary about my marriage."

"Yes. But I don't know why I think like this. That girl is still there and you are visiting them daily. It gives me bad vibes."she finally opened her heart as I expected.

"Mom, what did she did to us?"I asked seriously.

"What? Don't you know?"

"No. I don't know. So much hatred for a poor girl."I exclaimed.

"Reyhaan stop defending her. She is noone to you."

Noone? She is everything for me now.

"Mom, tell me did she ever threaten me to marry her? Did she ask anything from me? It was all her family. How many times did I tried to convince you? Why can't you understand?" This is getting on my nerves.

"So what? She is behind all this. When would you understand Reyhaan?"she is making it difficult for both of us.

"Mom if she was behind all this, she would have been my wife now. But she is the one who rescued me from this marriage. Nothing was her fault. She is not your enemy mom. Just accept her." I said as calm as possible.

"This is my worry Reyhaan. You are supporting her too much. There is no need we should bother about her."she scolded making me frustrated.

"Just stop please. I am sorry. I can't punish her for someone else's mistake. We did wrong with her. We misunderstood and blamed her. Atleast be grateful to her for saving me from an unwanted marriage."I said controlling my anger.

"I don't want to talk about her. You sleep now. Good night."she stood up and left.

I pulled the blanket over me while laying down on the bed.

Roshini, I am waiting to share my life with you. I will make everyone love you. I love you. I would be the reason you start smiling again. Good night Rose.
