Here we go..

Sanjana Pov:

Where is my life going? What am I going to do now? I wiped my freely falling tears and decided to talk to him. I'm going to find out what's running in his stupid brain. I picked my phone and dialed his number. Be brave, Sanj. I thought and took a deep breath. I greeted him getting all my strength, all I got is a few seconds of silence from the other side. 

What, did he recognize my voice? Stop it yaar. Why would he recognize you? 

"Hello!! Could I ask who is talking from the other end?" I heard his voice. See, he didn't recognize you. My  subconscious mocked me.

"Sanjana" I replied him clearing my thoughts. And again he got muted. He might be shocked, I guess. Get straight to the point, Sanj. 

"Why are you doing this,Sidharth?" I asked him controlling my anger. My insides are burning like volcano. Why the hell did he agreed to this thing?

"I didn't get you, Miss" he said and it increased my temper. I just want to smash is head.

"Why did you agreed to the proposal?We both have some issues right then why?" I asked in one go.

"So you came to know about the proposal. What's your decision? huh? I think you might be flying in air after hearing it" he said and it broke my heart. What? Why? The person who decided to betrothed me doesn't love me then why will I fly in air? 

"What do you think of me? I'm not happy with this, Sidharth. I just hate you for everything" I said and I found my cheeks are getting wet.

"Then go and say no to this. We both can be free from this stupid thing" he said and this shocked me. Stupid thing? Marriage is not a stupid thing, Sid. Why can't he go and say no?

"I can't hurt my father, Sidharth. He is not well these days. I don't want to be a stress burden to him" I said thinking about my dad. 

"So your answer is yes right?" he asked. I don't have any strength to reply so I remained silent. What am I going to do? 

"Don't cry, Sanj. Don't cry. Go and say yes to this thing, Sanj. Let's deal with this, together. And I'm sorry for everything. I know it's too late but I'm really sorry. I shouldn't have reacted like that. I should have explained you softly and nicely. I know you hate me but we have to do this together. Now good night. Go and sleep well" I heard his voice. Wait!! He just called me Sanj. And he asked me say YES. 

I don't know how to react to this thing. He surprised me today. I never expected this from him. He even apologized me. 

"Good night, Sidharth" I said and hung the call. I walked towards my room and laid on the bed. His words are still echoing in my ears. Why do you want me to say YES, Sid? Why did you agreed in the first place? Why?

"Go and say yes to this thing, Sanj. Let's deal with this, together" his words are still ringing in my ears. 

What are you going to do, Sanj? asked my brain. 

Don't know. I replied back. 

------------------------

Next day, I got ready and decided to go down. Papa will be waiting for my answer. You will not hurt him, Sanj. He is going through a lot these days. I thought and went down. I saw my dad in the hall. He looked at me and then smiled.

"Let's have breakfast, Papa" I said and he nodded. We both went to the dining hall and I started having my breakfast. Soon, Edwin joined us. 

"So, what's your decision?" Edwin asked breaking the ice. I lifted my head and I saw two pairs of eyes looking at me with a question mark. 

"Sanjana, your dad will not force you. You know that right?" Edwin asked and I nodded.

"Then say it. We will there with you. Your happiness is important to us. If you don't want to get married then it's okay because it's your life" Edwin said looking straight into my eyes. Aww!! He is awesome. 

"Edwin is right, Sanj" Papa added. For a second, I felt like saying no to this thing. But Papa, your happiness is also important to me and I will do anything for that. 

"I'm ready, Papa. I'm ready to marry him" I said with a fake smile plastered on my face. 

"Really?" Edwin asked with a lot if excitement in his voice. I nodded my head and got up from my place. I turned to leave but my dad's voice stopped me.

  "Sanjana, I'm really happy for you. You took a good decision" Papa said hugging me. 

"I'm going to inform this to Mr. Vikram" he said and I nodded. 

Sidharth Pov:

I turned back and I saw Nihaar looking at me with a strange expression. Did he heard my conversation or what? God!! Please tell me he didn't heard my conversion.

"You just talked to Sanjana right?" he asked to which I nodded in no.

"What the hell? Why would I talk to her?" I said sliding the phone into my pocket.

"You are lying. I can sense that" he said folding his hands. Idiot!! What the hell is he doing here?

"Don't look at me like that. Yeah, you are right. I talked to Sanjana but what are you doing here? Don't you have any sense, you can't hear my personal talks" I said hissing. 

"Oh!! When did Sanjana became your personal topic? huh?" he said laughing and it increased my temper. I can not deal with this bastard. I thought.

"Put a sock in your damn mouth. Now good night" I said and rushed to my room. I closed the door with a bang. What the hell is he thinking of me? Rascal. I jumped on to my bed and decided to sleep. Suddenly, I heard a beep sound. God!! what now? I took my phone from the night stand. A smile came on my face after seeing the message. My best friend.

Immediately, I got up and took my laptop. I switched on the Skype and dialed to my bestie.

"Hey Sid!!" Aditi said waving a hand at me and I waved back.

"Where is my prince? I want to see him" I said as I didn't find him with Aditi.

"God!! I'm your best friend not him. Here I'm waiting to talk to you and you are searching for him" she said in a cold tone and it brought a smile on my face.

"Okay okay, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you but tell me Aditi, where is my Ishaan ?" I asked and she held her head.

"Ishaan is here" I heard Vachan's voice. He came and sat next to Aditi carrying my champ in his hands.

"Hey Champ!!" I said and he smiled looking at me. Aww!! He is so cute. He exactly looks like Vachan with chubby red cheeks and dark orbs.

"How is he doing?" I asked.

"You can see that Sid.God!!he is not a kid for sure. See he is pulling my hair" Vachan said slowly removing the tiny hands from his hair.

"Ishaan ,don't do this. It hurts" Vachan said to which Ishaan laughed.

"He is your son, Vachan. He acts like you" I said and Vachan nodded.

"Okay, you guys carry on. We both have to go out" Vachan said and my boy again pulled his hair.

"Ishaan, say bye to your uncle" Aditi said and Ishaan waved his tiny hand to me.

"I'll see you soon" I said and Vachan took him away.

"Now tell me, what's going with you? I heard that my best friend is getting married" Aditi said smiling. God!! How can information travel this fast? 

"Who told you?" I asked as I want to know the culprit for this.

"Aunty" she said smiling. My mom! Great! 

"Then she might have sent the bride's photo too" I said and she nodded.

"Yeah, Sanjana right? You both are good friends ,now you will make a good couple" she said and I gave a fake smile. I never mentioned anything about Sanjana to her yet she remembers her.

"Finally, my best friend is getting married. I'm so happy for you,Sid. We are going to rock your wedding, trust me" she said with lot of excitement in her voice. Everyone is so excited and happy. What about me? They just want me to get married. They don't want to know whether I'm happy or not with this decision. 

"So you are coming right?" I asked clearing my head. 

"How can I miss your wedding, Sid? I'll be there soon" she said smiling.

 "I don't want you. I want my prince Ishaan to be here" I said and this irritated her.

"Get lost Idiot. I'll bring him. Now bye. See you soon" she said and shut the laptop. I smiled remembering her expression. Crazy girl. I thought and closed my laptop. I laid on the bed and soon sleep consumed me.

I woke when a ray of light hit my face. I did my morning chores and went down. I saw my family waiting for me. 

"Good Morning all" I said and sat next to Nihaar. Why is everyone smiling? What's happening?

"There is a good news for you, Sid. Mr. Joshi called me today and informed me that Sanjana is ready to marry you" my dad said smiling. I don't know why but it brought a smile on my face. Why the hell am I smiling?

"And there is one more, you are getting married in this week" my mom said shocking me.

"What the fu..?" I was about to speak but Nihaar held my hand. He signaled me to control.

"Mom, I agreed to marry her but this is too fast. How can I marry her this week?" I asked her.

"Sid, you agreed right then what is your problem to marry her this week? huh?" she asked me in return. God! This is horrible. Why is everyone irritating me like this?

"Mom, what about the arrangements? How can we manage in few days? Today is already Wednesday, how can we do this?Think once " I said so that I would get a small chance to get out of this issue. 

"We can. Stop being negative and go back to your room. You are not going to office this week" she said snatching the car keys and my phone. 

"Why?" I asked giving her an annoying look.

"We need to buy a lot, Sid. What about your outfits? We need to design them right?" she said. Ahh... Hell with this marriage. 

"I have to attend an important meeting. So we will postpone this to tomorrow" I said and got up from my place.

"Sid, you are not going anywhere. Your dad and Nihaar are going to take care about the work. Now stop all your excuses and get ready for shopping" Mom said and went inside. I looked at Nihaar and he was trying to control his laugh. 

"Don't worry Sid. I'm going to take care about the meeting" Nihaar said and left the place. He don't know anything about the meeting then how can he handle. 

Nihaar Pov:

God!! this is so funny. I don't know why but seeing my cousin in this situation makes me laugh. He is getting married this week and I'm going to have a lot of fun for sure. My mom and dad will come, Aditi didi will come, yeah I'm early waiting for his marriage.

I'm going to handle office for few days. I don't know anything about today's meeting but atleast I'll try to understand and give my best. I took my car and started riding for the office. 

I reached the office and went inside. I went to my cousin's cabin and called the assistant.

"Good Morning, Sir" Miss. Sarah said looking at me.

"Morning. When is the meeting with Tatneft?" I asked looking at the presentation.

"The meeting is at 12:30 Pm, Sir" she said looking at her ipad. 

"It's already 11:00 Am. Check if there are any mistakes in the presentation. Sidharth will not be come today. We should do it" I said and she nodded. I asked her to leave and she left the place.

I started studying the files but my eyes fell on Sid's photo frame. It was a picture captured when he was receiving best company award. A smile came on my face as my cousin is going to shine more.

I know Sid is marring her for his business. He is so selfish. How can he do this? There is only one person who can change him. Sanjana. Only she has the power to bring him back.

A part from my brother's issue why did Sanjana agreed to marry this idiot? Did she still loves him? 

Nihaar, you are thinking a lot. She might have her own reasons. I hope this marriage will bring happiness in their lives. I want them to be together. I want them to fix each other's broken hearts. 

Soon, we completed the meeting and it went well. It time for me to get out of this place. College is much better than this office. I came out from his cabin and started walking towards the elevator.

"Excuse me, Sir" I heard Miss. Sarah's Voice.

"Yeah, do we have any work?" I asked her in return. 

"Will Mr. Sidharth come to office tomorrow?" she asked me. 

"No!! he will not come this week. Do you have issues?" I asked her and she nodded in no. Actually, she is hiding something from me.

"Sarah, what are you hiding from me? Why are you looking disturbed?" I asked and she lowered her eyes.

"Tell me now itself. Or else I'll find the thing myself. And in the end, We will find a new assistant replacing you" I said sliding my hands into my front pockets.

"Mr. Sidharth asked me prepare a document and I completed it. He said that he needed that in two days. I don't know how to handle the document to him" she said. Is is crazy? Why is hiding this?

"Is this the thing you are hiding?" I asked with a frown.

"I'm sorry sir. Mr. Sidharth wants to keep this confidential" she said lowering her eyes and that brought a smile on my face.

"You are doing a great job. Give me the document, I'll pass it to him" I said.

"But.." she started.

"Don't worry. I'll take care of it" I said and she nodded. She gave me the document and I left the place.
