Myra's POV

All my cousins were still teasing me. But I don't know why, I was not enjoying the teasing much.

I have been very close to Saanjh, Sahaj, and Sujal, as we all had grown up together their dad and my dad were first cousins. I had the same relationship with Roohi and Ruhan.

Something was bothering me somewhere. Actually many things have been bothering me. But I didn't know whom to talk to.

Even Ruhan and Roohi were just smiling but it seemed a bit forced as they were not very happy with this marriage and were not talking to me like their elder brothers (a first cousin on the paternal side), especially Raj.

Raj hasn't talked to me since that night when we were in Surat. He was shocked to know that I kissed Manik.  Though I tried talking to Raj many times to explain myself, he blocked my number and me on all the social networking sites. It was hurting me a lot as I really liked being with him.

" Myra, are you even listening?? " Mohak asked. Hitting me with his elbow lightly.

" No, she is thinking about Manik Jiju. " Saanjh replied and winked at me.

"  Myra, you are going to get married to Manik in a few hours. Though Manik is a very nice person, he is too simple and boring for you.  Are you sure, you want him?? " Sahaj said.

" I wish you had chosen Raj Bhai." Ruhan said.

" Ruhan!! " Sia aunty glared at him.

Sia aunty had suggested Raj's name as the most suitable and eligible bachelor for me. Raj is Rahul uncle's son.  Everyone liked the idea including Viren and Sujal.

Raj is tall, fair, handsome,  decent, well-educated, hardworking, and well-settled. We knew him for years as Sujal has been going to their place since childhood as he is Roohi and Ruhan's first cousin, just like Raj.  Our families were quite close.

Though Raj was better looking than Manik and I liked the time we spent together, Manik had already proposed to me and I liked the way he was smitten by me at that time.

I shook my head to get Raj out of my mind.

I don't know how things changed between Manik and me...

I was expecting a call from Manik at least today, but he didn't. He should have called and told me that he was desperate to meet me but he called my brother and parents to meet him instead.

Manik was not like this earlier, he loved me, in fact, he was a very good-looking boyfriend who doted on me, always very keen on making me happy.

I remember him sending me gifts everyday day even when he went to Surat because of his grandfather's will.

My friends were quite jealous of my fortune.  He was one of the richest men at the age of 26 and he was crazy about me.

Even though he was working very hard in learning the trade secrets of his family business, he never failed to call me today we are supposed to get married and none of us was excited.  He hasn't even bothered to call me and even I didn't feel like calling him.

What kind of marriage was it?

Why was I feeling that I didn't want to get married to him?

I really wanted to say that I didn't want to marry him but could not do it as my family was excited about it now.

I should not have agreed to the engagement. He was so annoyed with me at the engagement, I should have talked to him and broken that engagement.

Though they were keen to arrange my wedding with Raj, Rajveer Kapoor, I told them that I wanted to get married to Manik and they agreed. But I started to feel that it was a mistake...

The biggest mistake of my life.

My relationship with Manik started getting cold when that girl went to live with him as his ward and things started getting different.

She was an important part of his life and was getting more important day by day.  How could I tolerate her in my life? And she was not going away from Manik anytime soon.

I was still thinking about all that when Viren came in with a very angry expression, even Sujal was looking very upset. Before I could ask them anything, I saw that Shlok, Shaurya, and Ron followed him.

Shlok gave a glass of water to Viren but he smashed it hard against the floor.

" Calm down, Viren!!! " Sujal said trying to embrace Viren but Viren pushed him.

" How do I calm down after what I saw? How could he do that to my sister?? "  Viren shouted.

" She is my sister too. Please calm down. We can't help it, now. Whatever is done is already done, it is irreversible. Calm down, be rational, and find out a solution. " Sujal said holding him tight and Viren took a few breaths and nodded reluctantly.

What was happening??

" Viren, what happened?? " I asked. He looked at me and his angry expression was back.

" I would Kill him... Why did he have to wait till today to confess all that? " He yelled again.

" Confess what?? " I asked.

" That spineless... " Viren was saying.

" Enough!! Just shut up, Viren. He explained everything just now and even now you are not even trying to understand him. Even that day, when we all were in Surat and came to know about them being together, you got furious and punched him one after the other.  He kept pleading you to talk to him but you never bothered to listen. Then you arranged their engagement without even consulting them it was not fair. See, how much Manik, Myra, and Roshni had to suffer.  "  Shlok said.

" What happened??" I asked but no one said anything just kept looking at each other.

" Will any of you, please, tell me what is going on?  What happened there, what did he say?"  I asked again in a louder voice.

" He married Roshni... "  Shlok said.

" What rubbish? " I said and looked at them as if I was expecting them to say that they were kidding. But they all kept looking at me, Viren and Sujal looked annoyed.

" Viren? Sujal, what is Shlok saying? "  I asked but Viren was panting now. Sujal came to hug me.

" The truth!! " Sujal said.

"Really? When did he get married? " I was shocked as hell.

" Yesterday. " Ron said. 

" He married her?? Just like that?... Without even talking to me?  How can he marry her when he was engaged to me?? This is humiliating. "   I said.

" Like seriously? Why are you so shocked? As far as I remember, you were not so attached to Manik." Ron said bluntly.

" Ron!! Behave yourself!! "  Viren shouted at him.

" Ask her if she was really in love with him. "  Ron said looking at me.

" What do you want to say? "  Sujal asked.

" Ask her, not me... I know, Manik and Myra were not in love. " Ron said looking at me as if he was daring me to deny that.

" She didn't love Manik, they were just a bit attracted to each other. And when Manik shifted o Surat and our families proposed a marriage between Raj and her, she got very confused because since Raj and Myra started meeting each other, they felt some kind of connection. " Ron said

" Myra, what is Ron saying?? "  Viren asked.

I don't know... Maybe.

But I was annoyed with the fact that Manik chose that orphan over me. It was so humiliating... How dare he??

I was losing my temper but somehow, somewhere I felt a bit relieved. But why?? I wanted to get married to him... didn't I??

" I don't know... "

" What do you mean, you don't know?? Are you really upset that you are not getting married to Manik because you love him?? Or just angry because your ego is hurt?? " Ron said in an angry tone.

" Ron! Behave yourself while talking to my sister. " Viren yelled at Ron.

" Your sister has been flirting with my brother as well as Manik. Ask her,  which one of them she wanted more. I know the answer, it's time for you to know the truth so that you understand that Manik was not at fault.  " Ron said with confidence.

" Myra, tell me were you really in love with Manik or you liked Raj?? " Viren said.
