Kehna Hi Kya Ye Nain
Ek Anjaan Se Jo Mile
Chalne Lagi Mohabbat Ke Jaise Ye Silsile
Armaan Naye Aise Dil Mein Khile
Jinko Kabhi Main Na Jaanoon
Vo Humse Hum Unse Kabhi Na Mile
Kaise Mile Dil Na Jaanoon
Ab Kya Karein Kya Naam Lein
Kaise Unhein Main Pukaroon…..
Ira’s POV~
“Sorry papa, but it’s a big decision. I don’t know him and he is our enemy how can you trust them? How can you be so sure that they won’t harm me because of the rivalry papa? How can you marry off your daughter to someone just for your own benefit….someone you don’t even trust?” A tear roll down my eyes. “You’ve never gone against my decision and I won’t hear a single argument this time either. This is my final decision. You’re going to marry Mr. Singhanya.” For the first time papa raised his voice at me. “Papa I always followed your decision because they were good for me, they were for my betterment but this decision….you’re sacrificing you’re daughter for your comfort? Papa when did you change to someone like this?” Papa was always polite to me I don’t know from when he became so selfish.
“you’re my daughter. You have to follow what I say. You asked me right why I’m tensed it was because of the rivalry between sighaniyas and Chaudhry. And now if they want to end this then why are you making trouble?” papa shouted. “H…how am I creating the trouble papa….I’m your daughter and you can’t f...force me into a marriage while I’m 23 and studying papa” I sobbed. “Exactly you’re my daughter and you are bound to follow what I say. And of course you are creating the problem. Just agree to this marriage.” Papa replied. His voice cold, face emotionless. “But papa…” “you have 4 hours think and tell me either you will marry Akshay or forget me forever. Now it’s your choice.” Papa
cut off. How can I decide to marry someone I don’t know but I can’t leave my father. Oh god.
After an hour I went toward the canopy. Everyone there were laughing , enjoying. Papa was also there smiling. I can’t ruin this. I can’t leave my family. But I can’t even choose a person who I don’t know and this is not for one day it’s about my whole life. I know papa will come after three hours to ask me what I decided and if I chose to marry him then I have to marry him on the same canopy were bhai is sitting…….

“So have you decided to marry him?” papa asked. “Yes….” Yeah I’ve decided to marry him. I had no other options. I can’t leave my father. “Good I knew you’ll never deny my decision. You’ll marry him tomorrow as they wished. And I’m so happy I can’t even explain.” He replied. I can see the joy in his eyes. The bright smile on his face. i noticed everything but…he can’t notice the tear in my eyes. He can’t notice the pain in my heart. He changed…he really changed. He became selfish. Now he don’t care about my emotions.
He went toward the stage and announced about my wedding while everyone was shocked I saw the evil smile on Akshay’s father’s face as if he had won a battle. As if he was the winner of unfought battle. I could feel the terror of what is coming in my nerves. I know they are planning something against me and my family. Before I could run and inform papa about it Akshay’s father came and congratulated me. “Congratulation Ira now you’ll become a part of our family” he said in a dangerous voice and that “family” sounded more like a hell. I could feel the card they played. I don’t know how he managed to manipulate papa.
“thanks uncle hope the family can handle me” I said with the same smile he gave me before. And now I can see the tension in his eyes. And then went to papa “papa you still want me to marry him?” I asked with all the hopes and emotions... “You said yes right then why are you suddenly asking this?” papa throwed casually without looking at me. “nothing” I replied with the most hurtful smile. It really hurts.
I went to Vanshika. I need to tell her all the shit happening. She was talking to the kids. Before I could reach her a hand was wrapped around my wrist and there was a sudden pull. I was against a wall and before I could scream another hand came over my mouth shuting me up. My eyes met the pair of hazel eyes. Those which can make you fall for and those dangerous eyes that can take the soul out of your body. He is probably Akshay Singhaniya. Because first he was sitting next to Singhaniya uncle and second he almost looked like him. Almost because his eyes were different. I realized I wasn’t trying to scream anymore. “So you are Ira Choudhry my going to be wife huh?” a smirk on his face. “What you want?” I asked in protest. But he didn’t reply for a moment and then his hand raised to my forehead and traced down the side of my face. “Too beautiful to be loved and too perfect to be destroyed miss Ira Choudhry.” He said and left. I was there still standing, still confused about what he said.
Finally I found Vanshika. “Vanshu I need to tell you some. Listen to me carefully.” I said. “I….” “First you tell me what’s happening here? You’re getting married!!” she cut off. “That’s what I’m going tell you. Papa is forcing me to marry him I don’t have any options. And he is forcing me to marry him just to start a good relation with our enemies.” “What!! They are your enemy! And you agreed to marry him?” Vanshika cried. “Yeah. i didn’t have any options. Papa didn’t leave any.” I sighed. “Oh! so you’re really marrying him?” she asked with a sigh. I nodded. “You should talk to him once.” She suggested. “I did” I sighed. “He said - Too beautiful to be loved and too perfect to be destroyed miss Ira Choudhry. I still can’t understand what he meant by that.” “Ira I don’t think..” “What are you doing here we need your help” papa cut off Vanshika.

The people were making me ready to go to the mandap. Karan bhai’s wedding was over by yesterday evening we didn’t have any ritual for me only a wedding lehnga. Every girl has their own dreams for their wedding. I also had my dreams but they all crumbled in front of my eyes. I came here to enjoy my brother’s wedding but look at me now I’m going to marry someone I never knew on the same canopy. I was once excited for my marriage. I had planned a lot of things but now, now all the plans vanished like they never existed. “Ma’am please open your eyes’ your make-up is done. I opened my eyes. The make-up was done beautifully but my mind and heart can’t accept it. Right now I just want to disappear. I can’t see any future.
Akshay’s POV~
The priest was chanting the mantras. The whole was dead silent. It wasn’t strange. None had expected this. “kanya ko bulaya jaye” the priest called and again started to chants the mantras. After few minutes she was here Ms Ira Chaudhry entering with a flower canopy. I looked at her. She didn’t take any heavy make-up like other brides. Her face empty, emotions faded. Something twisted inside my heart. I’ve seen many emotions and expression, fear, power, relief, but she looked so empty. She sat next to me and priest gave us the Jaimala (flower garlands) and chanted the mantras.
“Ek dusre ko varna mala pehnao” the priest asked. We exchanded the varnamala. We went on completing each ritual together. Then it was time for the pheras the promises of seven birth. And then the vermilion thing. The small particles of red that will tie both of us forever. I filled her hair-line with vermilion. We completed other rituals to "Vivah sampan hua” the priest announced. I don’t know but something feels off like I’m breaking something precious not like I feel sad but something wrong.
