" Did you call me sir ??".

" Yes Miss Anu !!......I want to reschedule my meetings for the next week and maybe postpone some too !!". Anu could feel how Jai seemed to worry.

" Is there any problem, sir ??".

" No!.... not exactly!!.......and Rocky thought you need to receive an invitation too !!"

Rocky??

That one name brought so many memories from their past !!

He was the sole reason why Reena had broken their friendship in their argument.

" So you are supporting him ??......He wanted me to abort the baby!!"

" Ree, but you were never pregnant!!..... maybe he knew that too !!".

" Oh !!!......since he will be soon your family, you have started to support him too !....I should have guessed it already!!".

" Ree !..... control your anger and don't speak rubbish right now !!.....we are just friends!!"

" That's your point, but what about him ??.....you really think he only sees you as a friend??.......even a stranger can see that he is hopelessly in love with you except you !!"

" You are still struck on that issue!!.....fine !!......I'll prove everyone wrong!!......I'll ask him about the video!!"

Anu came back to the reality when Jai forwarded her an invitation card .

Wedding invitation??

Why on earth will Rocky give me his wedding card after all that had happened??

She unfolded the card more like a box , with silver linings and gifts inside. In the centre there was a thin card , the smell of pure rose empowering it as she took them in her hands.

This is going to be one grand affair for sure!!

She read the card only to receive a huge shock once her eyes fell on the name of his bride.

She blinked for a second and read the card once more, to me more clear.

Reena Desai??

Jai who saw her took the card from her hand.

" Yes !......what you are seeing it's true!!..... The person, my cousin is getting engaged to none other than Reena, your bestfriend!!"

" But how??"

" Even I don't have any answes !!.....maybe you can ask her in person.......afterall she is still your friend right??"

Anu didn't want to share their secrets and just passed him a fake smile and went to her cabin, the invitation becoming more heavy when she realised that soon she is going to face them all , if she shows up for the wedding, which she definitely will, considering that jai must be present for the wedding.

Reena!!

Reena !!...

Indhu who had finally reached her room , forwarded her hands to slap her bestfriend, to bring back sense to her , make her realise the blunder she is awaiting to do.

But her hands stopped in midway when she saw her tear stained face.

" Reena??". Reena who had finally heard her bestfriend, hugged her .

" Reena!.....hey !!". started to caress her cheek and wiped her fresh tears, as Reena continued to cry.

" What's wrong with you Reena??......and this marriage!!....say them that you don't want it !!....... you don't want him !!".

" Do you think I have that choice??.....from the time his grandmother have visited me , I've been under house arrest!!"

Indhu didn't't want any evidence for her words, since she knew how her bestfriend's father is .

" Say me !!......I'm warning you for the last time!!....say his name , then I'll burn you both alive !!"

Thud !!

Reena fell on the floor, her weak frame was not helping her to encounter more torture from the past days without food .

" Rajender!!......what do you think you are doing with my daughter in law?".

Reena's paternal aunt rushed towards her and lifted her up .Indhu went to help her and they both kept her in the room.

They both started talking, with Reena still consious but was placed in the bed, and commanded food by her order.

" Why are behaving this way ??......she is still your blood!!".

" This blood can be shed , atleast by that she will finally stop being my disgrace!!"

" You !!....you are the reason for her condition!!....you never gave her your time so she found a person!!.... simple!!".

" If you like her so much, why don't you get her married to your son !!.... I'll be finally off from that duty!!"

" My son is married!!.....and I've come to inform you that I'll be taking Reena with me !!.....she is a diamond you chose to reject for the gems !!.... you'll soon call her back cater she shines more than your so called son !!".

" Fine!!....... I'm not stopping you !!.....but atleast bring out the bastard 's name from her !!....I need to kill him!!".

Radhika Desai, her father's twin , was quite the opposite.

She sat by the bed followed by Indhu.

" Reena!!.....my dear, please move on !!.... atleast share it with me !!.....I'll move you out from this place!!"

Reena had started to narrate their story, but she knew that she have purposely missed few if the important details, which might become clues to find his identity.

" So he broke your heart ??".

Reena just noded as she engulfed her aunt in a hug and cried her heart out , who started to caress her back as a gesture to calm her down.

Knock........knock.

Reena's brother more like her stepbrother brought her food. He always had a soft spot for his sister, but for Reena, he was actually the reason she suffered her entire childhood.

But things changed in the past few months and she have started to accept her fate

" Please Reena , atleast say me his name !!....ill promise that I won't kill him , but he do deserve some pain after breaking my sister's heart!!".

" Rahul!!..... please!!.....I'll meet you in the evening!!...I want some time with them !!".

" So what was his name??".

Reena didn't give her any reply, which brought a smile from her aunt.

" You still love him , don't you??".

" Where is Radhika auntie, atleast she might help you escape!!".

" Indhu you don't know my situation!!.....he have blocked any my exits!!...I have no way out !!......,and fyi the proposal was brought through my aunt and I can't broke her heart if I tried to escape!!..........I'm done with life !!..... please kill me !!".

Their conversation was soon broken by a voice approaching her room.

" Reena !!......you are really an unique woman!!.... getting engaged with me !!...... sleeping with some random guy and now !!.... marrying the sole heir of Bhairya Industries!!...wow , what a great life !!".

" Kamal!!.......come out of her room at this instant!!... I've promised them that not even a man's shadow will fall upon my daughter till her marriage!!!.....and you are already a closed chapter in her life !!".

" Great!!......I don't like used things!!......but I'll see how you will live your happily ever after Reena !!......I still remember my scars !!.....in no time I'll ruin your wedding!!"

" Say that once more !!!.....and I won't think twice that you are my partner's son !!......let the wedding happen!!....then get your revenge!!....untill then she is my responsibility, and I don't want any dirt more in my name !!". Kamal knew that he was serious, when he heard Rajendra Desai speak in his cold tone.

" I'll promise you that uncle!!.......but her past is enough for her troubles!!.... isn't it Reena??". Kamal taunted her .

" We have already solved that problem Kamal!!...... you'll know it soon , if you managed to reach the engagement ceremony!!".

Rajendra Desai gave him a smirk, since he and his samdhi ji had come up with the perfect solution to Reena's name , which had stained his name too , along with her and he couldn't be more happy.

" Don't worry Reena !!......this Kamal won't stand a chance against Rocky!!".

" Rocky??......even after hearing my whole truth, you are still believing the fairy tale Indhu?

He never loved me !!.....but I can't claim that he had used me , but still it breaks my heart to think that even I was just like any other girl to him who had fallen for his charms during the time I was with him."

" But Reena , then why did he accept the proposal??".

" Who said anything like that !!......this proposal is nothing but business!!....a deal of assurance from his grandmother, who was always a good friend of Radhika auntie!!.....and now when she wanted to expand her business in US, I'll be the candidate!!"

" But still, what about him ?......any idea where was he all the time ?....did you speak with him ??..... atleast after the proposal?"

" I have better things to do !!.....and I don't want to disturb him when he'll be busy with his new found entertainment!!.....and this time I don't expect loyalty from him too !!....my marriage is bound to be broken!!".

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

" Bhai someone's here to meet you ??".

" Meet me?.....at this hour??".

Rocky turned to find his grandmother, the only living soul he can as his family.

" Why are you here dadi ma??....I have said you everything!!....my past , my habits, about her !".

Rocky took her to his room and sat on the couch, as he started the conversation.

" What else do you want from me ?".

" Just a last favour from you !!".

Rocky's grandmother called for the guards, who came out carrying a few boxes.

She took one of them and handed it to Rocky.

" I want to attend this wedding!!". Rocky took the box from her hand and opened it.

He was shocked beyond his dream to see his name written on the card , but what shocked him more was the name of his bride,

His chinna?

" Dadi ma !....how did y-"

" You don't have to think that!!...... didn't I promise you that I'll bring your life back??.....I have done it !..and now it's your time to never let it go !!".
