5 - Marriage

Siya approached towards the stage. The panditji asked her to sit near to the groom. His face was covered with a sehra.

Siya's pov

How could he sit here. Bloody idiot! I feel like hitting him with some pan. How could he do this?

Panditji started the pujas.

My head was filled with rage. Fumes were rashing from both my ears. I should execute my fainting drama now.

Ok 1 ....2..........threeeeeeee......

Just then my eyes caught on a mirror kept in the front of him. I saw his face. Its Abhi.

Am I hallucinating things now?

I pinched myself to check whether I was sober or in any dreamworld.

Ouch! It hurts.

That means.....groom changed. But why? Why is he willing to marry me? Is he sober? I looked his face again. Ofcourse he looks sober. Do he love me? Then why? And where is Anu.

Oh Siya! Now is not the time to think too much. Now is the time to get fastly married to your man. I should fastly do the rituals and become his wife immediately before he change his mind.

Oh god! What if I did the act of fainting today without knowing he was the groom? You would have really lost the chance to be his wife Siya. Why did that duffer Anu didn't tell me that he is gonna switch the groom? Anyway I am happy....very very happy.

Abhi' pov

How did she agree to marry me.? Is she happy? I glared at her face. She is smiling. That means she is ok with marrying me.

Is this the same scene that I pictured in my mind. She is sitting near him happily. She happily took the pheras with me.

And finally I put the mangalsootra on her and filled her intersection of hair with sindoor.

I finally got married to her.

Oh god! You are really something. You turned the saddest day in my life to the happiest and most memorable day.

She is my wife. I am her husband..this is all that I wanted from life.

Minutes ago...

Most of invites smelled something off as the groom was nowhere to be found.

"Mr Verma if this wedding doesn't happen as planned forget that business deal between our two companies. It was your proposal to marry my daughter to your son. And that bratty little son of yours. How could you he this to us. And seriously before escaping did he even think about my innocent Siya?" Siya's father said.

"No dont break the business deal. We have been partners since long. Don't do this as part of a misunderstanding. We can find a solution. It was a mistake from my son's part. I will find a solution. And I assure your daughter's marriage will surely happen today itself " Mr Varma insisted.

" Call Abhi here immediately" Mr Verma commanded his secretary.

"Why are you calling Abhi. Dont tell me you are planning to marry him to my daughter?" Siya's father questioned.

"Yes I want him to marry Siya. I always wanted Siya as my daughter in law. Abhi is the eldest. You know Abhi is more capable and sensible that Anu. And now Abhi has even made his own name in the business industry without my support. I am sure he will be able to take care of Siya." Mr Verma explained.

"I know Abhi is capable. But I can agree to this under one condition. I want my son in law to be the next heir of Verma industries." Siya's father demanded.

"That's not posibble. Anu will be the next heir" Anusha sneered.

"Did I ask you opinion? Abhi is my eldest son and he will be the next heir. Its decided then." Mr Verma assured.

He glared at Anusha giving an angry look.

Just then Abhi arrived with a curious look...

"What happened Papa. You called me?" Asked Abhi.

"Anu went missing." his dad said.

"What.....he is missing" Abhi looked with disbelief.

"You must marry her. Dont say a no. It's a matter of our family's prestige. So please marry her." his father commanded.

"But is she okay with it? Me marrying her?" He questioned.

"Don't worry about that let her dad handle that." his dad said.
