SHREYAS'S POV
Me: Dad! Why aren't you understanding? I am not ready to get married yet!
Dad: But her dad is a huge business man.
Mom: You are the one who told that business is on the rocks.
Me: Yes mom! But I can handle.
Dad: No you can't Shreyas. Not that easy. Everyone, out knows our financial situation. No one will even look at our side, leave about them, helping us, financially.
Me: So? I can sell few assets dad.
Dad: You will not do that. Those are personal assets and not company's.
And they will sold at loss. Stop being so stubborn.
And dad stroms out of the room.
Mom: Your dad already had enough. Stop killing him from the inside Shrey!
Me: I don't like her mom! We have never met
Mom: I don't see the problem here Shrey! Meet her before wedding.
But THIS WEDDING WILL HAPPEN.
And she leaves.
AHAARIKA'S POV
I wake up and while I was about to go downstairs, I hear my mom and dad talking.
Dad: They like her. Let's get them married. And he is an amazing business man, I'll handover the business to him.
Mom: that's an amazing idea.
And I am 100% sure they are talking about the Only heir of Mr. Iyer.
Shreyas Iyer.
His dad, Santosh, and my dad, Ayush were good friends. They established a company. But they wanted to go on with two different ideas so Dad took half share of business and established a textile company while uncle started an mall.
Meanwhile, I go down.
Dad: You are getting married.
Me: huh! Sorry?
Mom: To Shreyas
Me: Are you guys kidding me?
Dad: The only thing you did is to spend away the money we gave you. Now just do what we say. You owe that to us.
I felt as if somebody slapped me.
My dad and mom started thinking of me this way because of that person.
I hate you MR. Shreyas. I hate you.
After two hours I receive a message saying congratulations and then they started pouring in.
I can't ask them why. Ofcourse.
I went to my mom to ask instead I saw Shreyas and family.
Pandit ji: This friday is very auspicious.
Shreyas: This friday?
Why are they acting like it's wedding.
It's just going to be an engagement or something. I am sure he hates me just as much so we can plan something and get out of this.
Mom: Let's go baby! We need to shop for your wedding
Me: Wedding?
Mom: Yeah! Where were you? He just said it out loud.
Me: Friday?
Mom: Yeah!
Me: That's so-
Dad: Everyone get ready. We are going to shop.
And he goes in to get ready and so does everyone else.
Me and Shreyas were standing in the room, not being able to process what happened.
Shreyas: Is there anyway we can stop this?
Santosh Uncle: Don't even try Shreyas. Don't.
Shreyas: Dad-
Me: Uncle, you leave. I'll talk to Shreyas.
Me and Shreyas go out. We stand in the balcony.
Me: I hate this marriage as much as you do.
Shreyas: Then why aren't you doing anything.
Me: So aren't you.
Shreyas: I am not in a position to say something.
Me: Well! Neither am I.
Shreyas: So stubborn. I cannot marry you.
Me: Ofcourse! What do you think? I am dying for you? Please!! I'll be the happiest person to be alive if this does not happen.
And this banter went on.
That night made one thing clear.
We hate eachother. No matter how much we tried to hide it, It won't be hidden.
This marriage is going to be a disaster. And the company? Oh god!
We are going to be partners. So Disaster it is. Again!
