Here we go.

Sidharth Pov:

No one is sent by accident into your life. Everyone who enters your life has a purpose. Their purpose maybe either good or bad but they are here in your life just to teach something. My best friend has a purpose for coming into my life. She taught me what is love and what is heartbreak. What's the purpose of the girl who is going to marry me in few hours? What is your purpose, Sanj? What do you want to teach me?

"You look so handsome in this Indian outfit" Aditi said breaking my stream of thoughts. She was looking at me with a lot of happiness in her eyes. I was about to speak but my mom cut my sentence off. 

"God bless you, Sid. I want you to be happy always" Mom said kissing my forehead. I looked at my surrounding, everyone's face is sparkling like stars. Even Ishaan is enjoying the day. I plastered a fake smile on my face and took my parents blessings.

"Okay, let's leave to the mandap. They must be waiting for us" Dad said and everyone nodded. 

"You guys start. We will join you" Aditi said looking at me and everyone nodded. I turned towards her and raised my eyebrows. Immediately, she crashed me with a hug. 

"Whoa! Whoa! What's this for?" I asked hugging her back.

"Congratulations,Sid. Finally, you are getting married. I'm so happy for you" she whispered in my ears. I broke the hug and gave her a fake smile.

"I know why you are doing this. I know what happened between Sanjana and you. I know everything" she said folding her hands. What is she talking?

"Don't give me that look. You are my best friend and I have every right to know" she said shocking me. Who told her?

"Give this marriage a chance, Sid. You may find true love in this. Sanjana is not that bad. Tell me, what's her mistake? Loving you? huh?" 

"The fault is in you, Mr. Sidharth. I know you are scared of loving someone again but at the same time you can't mourn on your past. Give yourself a second chance. Break your imaginary bubble and come out from it. She is the best thing you ever had. Don't lose her with your stupidity" Aditi said looking straight into my eyes. I'm not scared of giving a second chance, I'm scared of repeating the same mistake again. 

I cleared my head and decided to leave this topic. 

"Who told you all this? huh?" I asked standing in front of her.

"There's no need for that. Now let's go. Vachan must be waiting for us" she said and dragged me out. We both went down and I saw Vachan, Nihaar and Ishaan. Nihaar must have told her the truth. How dare he? I'm going to talk to him later. I thought. 

We all went to the parking lot and I got into the car. I took the passenger seat next to Nihaar and Aditi, Vachan took the back seat. Aditi's words were flashing in my mind. 

"Give this marriage a chance"

"She the best thing you ever had" Suddenly, the car got stopped with a jerk. I looked at the surrounding then I realized that we reached the banquet hall. My heart beat started to raise thinking about the upcoming events. The park was beautifully decorated with flowers of all kinds. 

"Sidharth!!" I heard my mom's voice. She rushed towards the car and asked me to get down. I took a deep breathe and got down from the car. Edwin came towards me and gave me a friendly hug.

"We are looking for you" Edwin said with a smile and I smiled back. The welcome was so great. My father in law walked towards me and hugged me. I bend my head and took his blessings.

"God be with you beta" he said and took me to the mandap. I sat like a lost child praying for the best to happen. The Purohit asked me to perform some rituals and I did them with all patience. My body was hear but not my mind. I don't know why but I have a strong urge to see her. Later, I heard Mr. Purohit calling her name. I don't know why but my heart started to raise. I took some deep breaths to control my heartbeat. God!! why am I feeling like this? 

I looked at the girl who was walking towards me. The girl who stalked me for love. The girl who wrote me letters. The girl whom I hurted the most. My heart stopped to function for a second. She looked divine in her red lehenga. Everything seems to be perfect on her but something is missing. Her eyes are not sparkling. There is no smile on her face. She looked at me for once and sat next to me. Then, the purohit asked me to tie the knot and I did what he said. It's done. She lifted her head and looked at me. Her eyes wants to ask some questions, they are stating her fears. She is my wife now and I'm her husband. Sounds strange to me. How come these three knots decide my forever? 

Sanjana Pov:

I'm his wife now. My name is Sanjana Sidharth. It's sounds strange to me. I was in my thoughts and suddenly, I felt his warm hand on mine. My blood became cold all of sudden. I looked at him with a question mark.

"We need to take their blessings" he said and I nodded. He took me to the elders and we both took their blessings.

"I'm leaving my everything in your hands. Please take care of my princess" Papa said to Sidharth.

"Do miss me, Papa" I said hugging him tightly. Tears started rolling down my cheeks. I never thought this day would come so soon.

"Don't worry, uncle. Sanj is my responsibility" I heard Sidharth saying. What did he just said? I looked at him and he took my hand into his. 

"Don't cry. Everything will be fine" he said looking straight into my eyes.  Later, we both were escorted into a car and the driver took us to home. I entire ride was in silence. Later, I was called up to complete all the other rituals. 

"Aditi, show her room. She needs rest. We have another event in the evening" Mom said to Aditi.

"Take rest, beta" she said kissing my forehead and Aditi escorted to my room. 

"Sleep well. You need to be fresh for the evening party" she said and left me alone. I looked around and found it was Sid's room. I removed my vale, jewellery and untied my hair. I laid on the mattress and I don't know when I slept.

Sidharth Pov:

"When we have the meeting?" I asked my assistant over the phone.

"Not yet decided, sir" she said shocking me. What the fuck? How can she be so irresponsible? 

"What the hell are you talking? You know this is an important deal for our company and yet you haven't arranged the meeting. First tell me one thing, are you really interested in this job? Or do I need to find some other one huh?" I shouted. 

"Why are you so irresponsible? That day, I asked you to give the document to me but you gave it to my cousin and now you haven't arranged the meeting with the clients" I said in one go. 

"Sorry sir, Mr. Nihaar asked me to wait for another day so that you could attend the meeting" she said with trembling. Nihaar!! you are my headache.

"Okay, fix this tomorrow. I'll come and this is my final warning to you. You are my assistant not Nihaar's that means you should follow my commands not his. Understand?" I asked her and she said yes. I hung the phone and went inside. I saw Nihaar having fun with Ishaan. 

"Nihaar, where is Verizen's file? Where did you kept it?" I asked with frustration in my voice. 

"What happened bhai?" he asked getting up from his seat.

"Tell me where is the company's file? I need to study it. Tomorrow there is a meeting with Verizen's" I said in one go.

"What? Why? I asked Miss. Sarah to postpone the meeting to next week" he said frustrating me more. Seriously, this guy is hitting my nerves. 

"What the hell? This is so important to our company and you want to postpone it. Don't irritate me now. Tell me where is the file?" I asked again.

"I kept it in your room" he said and I made my ways towards my room. I opened the door in full rage and I was shocked to see her sleeping. Shit!! I disturbed her. I quietly took my steps towards the cupboard and searched for the file. Where did you kept it, Nihaar? I looked everywhere but I didn't find it. Suddenly, my eyes fell on the girl who is sleeping peacefully. She hugged the pillow with her both hands. Her face was covered with the strands of her hair making her look cute. She is a cuddler, I guess. My legs started moving towards her. Why is this happening to me? 

I closed all the curtains and increased the air conditioner temperature. I took a blanket from the wardrobe and covered her with that. I removed the strands from her face and tugged them behind her ears. I again started my search party and I finally got it. A part of me wants to leave the room but the other wants to stay here with her.

I sat there on the couch in front of her and started reading the file. I don't know why but I couldn't concentrate on the work. What the heck is wrong with me? Why am I thinking about her? What you are thinking is wrong. I cursed myself and decided to leave the room.

How was the chapter? I hope you enjoyed it.
