YOU NEVER WALK ALONE

5-Them

SARAKSHI'S POV-

Anxious? Curious? Confused?
Yeah every sort of emotion is building inside me as I wait for uncle sitting in the park. I don't know what he'll say, what I'm supposed to do, what his son will think of me as?

I'm sure uncle must have convinced his son for this marriage.May be not!

I know I'm way too young to get married but I can't bear this anymore, I have suffered a lot, I guess I too deserve some happiness in my life.

I'll try not to be a burden to them,I'll live just like now I'm living,by myself.

But what if he says no? Then? Again that same old life?No.Even the thought of it is making me shiver.

I hope he says yes! He'll be like uncle i guess, like obviously vo unka beta hai toh hoga hi unki tarah
(He is his son so he must be like him)

"Where are you lost kid?" upon hearing his voice I came out of my thoughts

"Oh! Uncle Namaste, when did you came?" I said giving him a big smile

"When you were busy daydreaming" he said sitting beside me

"How are you uncle?" I asked

"Really happy" Uncle replied

"anything special?" I asked being confused

"Yes"

"What?" I was really curious

"I'm happy kyon ki ye pyari bachi meri bahu ban ne vali hai"
(I'm happy because this lovely girl is going to become my daughter-in-law)

"Oh ye bat h- wait!? What?" His words finally registered in my brain
(Oh this is it-)

"Yes bache, my son is ready, and you're going to be my daughter-in-law" Uncle said patting my head

"He is ready? I'm really getting married?" I said in a low voice

"what happened beta, you don't want to get married?" Uncle asked looking at me

"No.. No it's not like that, I just didn't expected him to say yes, I don't know why" I said

"He is ready, more like I convinced him, but don't worry beta he said yes himself, he is ready to give another chance" Uncle said assuring me

I just gave him a smile. I'm going to get married for real. Why do I feel so pressurized now?

"I'll talk to your parents then, I think right now I should go and talk" Uncle said

"As you wish uncle, but what if they'll not agree? Then?" I asked

"No they'll not disagree, even if they do, I don't care, you're not going to live with them anymore." Uncle said

"Thank you so much uncle" I said feeling overwhelmed

"No bache, you're like my daughter, I have to do this, in fact I should say sorry to you, I was not able to do anything for you all this year's, you were suffering alone, but not anymore" Uncle said side hugging me

"No you don't have to feel sorry, you're the best uncle" I said hugging him back

"what about the notice that they issued to you to stay away from me" I asked remembering about the restraining order they give to uncle

"It was valid till you were 18" Uncle replied

"Oh, so when will you come to talk?" I asked
