Sidharth pov: 

What should you feel when your cousin is flirting with a girl who loved you in the past? Jealous? Should you feel envious? Well, leave about all. Tell me, what are you feeling,Sid? asked my brain. 

What should I feel? There is nothing to think or feel about Sanjana. She is a girl who loved me and I broke her heart. Nothing else. I don't even feel bad for what I did. I thought.

"Sid!! I'm going to meet her tomorrow" Nihaar's words broke my train of thoughts.

Go, go and flirt with her. Why should I care? 

"Tell me a beautiful place. Please" he asked giving me a pleading look. Why should I help? I'm not going to suggest him.

"Between you have to attend the party right? How can you meet Sanjana? It's highly impossible" I said intentionally so that he would drop his idea of meeting her.

"No problem, dude. I'll manage" he said smiling. Horny bastard. I want to kill him. 

"Sid, what's happening? why do you want to kill your cousin?" asked my brain and I took a deep breathe.

"Now please tell me some good places" Nihaar voice brought me back to the present.

"I'm not a tourist guide, Nihaar. I don't know" I said and turned to the other side of bed. I closed my eyes and pretended to sleep.

"Sid, how can you be so rude to your cousin?  I'm new to London and you are not even helping me. Why?" he asked shacking me a little.

"I'm tired. Will you let me sleep?" I asked covering the blanket over me.

"You are so mean. Why are you changing the topic now? Something is bothering you,Sid. I want to know it" he said pulling the blanket from me. Ahh.. Idiot. I got up from the bed and gave him a deathly glare.

"Tell me, what's wrong with you, Sid? You are behaving strange after meeting that girl. Not only this, I need to know one more thing. You are the one who saved Sanjana but why the hell did you framed that I saved her? huh?" he asked in frustration. What the hell? Why is he irritating me like this? I'm not going to say my past to him.

"There is nothing to say, Nihaar. Let me sleep and don't irritate me again" I said in slow voice controlling my anger. He gave a annoying look and got up from my bed.

"Have a great sleep, Mr. Rude" he said walking out of my room. He closed the door with a bang. I clenched my fist to control my damn anger. He called me rude again. Yes, of course. I'm a rude person and thanks for the compliment, Nihaar. I thought and leaned on the bed. I closed my eyes and tried to sleep. 

What's wrong with you, man? What's bothering you? 

Sanjana!! She is bothering me. I ragged my hair in frustration. I thought of not hearing this name ever again. Why is she coming into my path? Why did I see her after six years? I walked towards my closet and searched for the book. I took into my hands and opened it. This scrapbook contains all the small notes which she sent me. I preserved them . Don't ask me why? because I don't know the reason.  I never opened this after that incident. I started reading each and every note and I don't know why but it reduced my anger and a small smile came on my face. I closed the book and decided to sleep. 

Next day, I got up and did my morning chores. I got dressed in white shirt and a blazer. I took my phone and went down. 

"Good Morning, Mom" I said and she kissed my cheek. 

"Where's dad and Nihaar?" I asked looking around.

"Your dad is waiting for you in the lawn and your cousin is still sleeping" she said and I nodded my head. 

"Let's have breakfast" she said and dragged me to the lawn. God!! Why is my dad waiting for me that too in the lawn? Generally, Vicku plans lawn meetings to discuss something about my life. Ahh.. I hate lawn meetings. 

"Morning son" my dad said smiling. 

"Morning Vicku. Why are we meeting here? " I asked taking my seat.

"To discuss about your life, my son" he said looking at my mom and she smiled. As expected. 

"What are you planning next about your future?" he asked having his breakfast.

"Vicku, we are going to deal with two big projects this year and with this our company can crack the top most position" I said proudly. My dream is going to come true. 

"Congratulations, sid" he said smiling.

"Then what?" he asked and this question confused me. What? We should keep that position sustain and for that we need to work more. I thought.

"See, I got some thing for you" he said giving me cover. What's this? I gave him a muddled look. I started opening it with an unknown fear and my heart beat skipped after seeing the content.

"She is Sanjana Joshi. We both chose her for you"  I heard mom's voice. Wait!! what happened? I took a long breathe and realized what exactly happened.

"She is beautiful right? She is the daughter of Mr. Arvind Joshi. I think you heard his name before. Top industrialist" dad said smiling. Why are they smiling?

"What's this?" I asked controlling my nerves.

"Sid, you can't hide anymore. It's time for you to settle and I want a grandson" my dad said in a warning tone.

"If not this girl. We will find another one but you should marry. What about Mihaka? I know she loves you a lot but your dad doesn't like her. Tell me, do you feel anything for her?" Mom asked.

"What the hell is this? This is my life and let me live it" I said throwing her photos away. I got up from my seat.

"Don't make me sound rude, dad. You know me very well" I said and turned to leave.

"What? Why are you behaving like this, Sid? What's your problem?" he asked standing in front of me.

"Everything. I have enough problems dad please don't create another. I don't want to get married" I said stressing each and every word.

"Got it son, I know how to handle you" he said giving me a smirk making me feel irritated.

"See, the projects which we are going to start this year need my approval right?" he asked giving me a smile.

"I'm not going to sign the approval sheet" he blurted out. Fuck? Why is my dad behaving like this? 

"You are not doing this, Vicku. I'm your son" I said gulping my tears.

"Yes, you are my one and only son and that is why I chose this path. I want you to be happy, Sidharth. Please marry this girl and you will get what you want" he said with tears in his eyes. He wiped the tears which are coming out from my eyes. I jerked his hand and left the place. I started my car and drove to the office. 

Why is he doing this? Why is this happening to me? Why did he chose Sanjana? Why is my fate linked to hers? 

"Please marry this girl and you will get what you want" his words are playing in my mind. 

What should I do now? 

Nihaar Pov:

Idiot!! He is hiding something from me. I went down stairs and I saw my mama talking on phone. He is looking so dull. I turned to my mami and she is also in the same situation. What's going on here?

"What happened Mama?" I asked him and he gave a weak smile. 

"Talk to Sid. He needs you" Uncle said. Great!! This guy might have shouted on my mama too. 

"He is an Idiot mama but don't worry. I'll take care of him" I said and he hugged me. I went upstairs to bring my phone. Last night, I kept it in Sid's room. I went to his room and searched for my phone. I saw it near the bed side table. I grabbed it and checked for missed calls. My eyes fell on a beautiful scrapbook. Who's book is this? I opened the book and Sid's name was written on it in a beautiful cursive writing.

God!! This guy maintains these kinds of things too. Wait!! I need to laugh. My rude cousin is so calm inside. I flipped the next page and started reading the notes. What are these notes? It must be from a girl but the girl didn't mentioned her name. Why ? I need to investigate more on this. I thought and continued reading the notes. My head started spinning after reading the last note. 

"I LOVE YOU,SID"

----YOURS SANJANA.  

Sanjana? Means the girl whom he saved that night. No, no I can't come into conclusion. There are a lot of girls having the same name. I thought.

Don't be dumb, Nihaar. Your cousin wants to hide from her. That's why he framed you as her saviour. Sanjana is Sid's stalker. God!! I need some fresh air and water. I took the scrapbook and went down. I dialed to Sid but he ignored my call.

I started my car and went to the office. I pressed the elevator and went to the top floor. I went to Sid's cabin and opened the door without knocking. I saw him standing near the glass window. He turned towards me and looked surprised after seeing me.

"You know her right? I mean Sanjana" I said stressing her name. He gave me a weird look. 

"Don't start your nonsense again. She is a stranger to me" he said turning to the other side. He is lying to me. I can sense that.

"Then who is Sanjana in this book?" I asked showing him the book. I raised my eyebrows and he looked horrified.

"Where did you get this Nihaar?" he shouted taking the book into his hands.

"This is mine and you don't have any right to read it or touch it" he shouted again. God!! He is looking like a angry hulk. 

"Why are shouting now? I'm your cousin for god sake. Give me some respect" I shouted back and he clenched his fist. He kept the book on the table and looked at me with teary eyes. What happened to him? I never saw him in this state. Immediately, I engulfed him with a hug.

"Yes, I know her before. She was my stalker. She loved me, Nihaar but I hurted her. I didn't respected her feelings for me. I killed her with my words" he said and broke the hug.

"Do you regret it?" I asked as I'm in confused state.

"Nope. I did it because it was best for her to stay away from me. But I want to apologize her" he said wiping his tears. 

"But you know what? There is something between us. The more I want to avoid her. The more she is coming towards me. Dad asked me to marry her or else he will not approve the two big projects" he said walking towards the glass door. What? Did my mama black mailed him?

"I never expected this from my dad. He is black mailing me" he said.

"What do you want to do now?" I asked with some curiosity and he smiled.

"Will you marry her, Sid?" I asked.  

How is the Chapter? I hope you enjoyed it.
