Siya Ke Ansh

Chapter 3 :: Twisted Proposal

Ayansh's pov-

Dad informed Nikhil uncle about expecting our presence at their house soon. Within 15-12 minutes we were standing in front of their house's gate. By we, I mean- me, dad, chachu and Vihaan. Dad and chachu stand in front while I stand in between them yet behind them. As the gate opened, I could feel my blood rushing all over inside my body.

Siya

There she is. My soon-to-be fiance. Yes, that's correct. I agreed to marry her. All that persuasion done by my dad, mom and Vihaan for a change, made me think 'it's not bad to give it a shot.' Not giving a shot to marriage but shot to meeting her and once talking to her. I clearly told my dad to not just say yes directly, I wanted to talk to her once and then make a decision.

My eyes were fixed on her. Say yes, you idiot, was what my heart was telling me. When I didn't move from my place Vihaan pushed me forward a little. Staring at her, I completely missed her greetings for dad and chachu. Vihaan overtook me and went in for a hand shake with her. Get your hands off her, you rejected her to marry someone else.

Once she was done greeting Vihaan, she turned towards me to offer a polite and maybe a shy namaste.

"Namaste" She said while she joined her hands and bobbed her head a little. Bus, I mean that's it. Why does Vihaan get a big bright smile while I get a namaste and that too she isn't even looking at me.

"Hey." I say dryly and move inside the house.

We all are seated on the sofa set with Nikhil uncle, Shaurya and Neha aunty while Siya, Meera bhabhi and Muskan were in the kitchen.

Dad was the first one who started speaking "Nikhil, maine tujhe humesha apna chota bhai samjha hai aur tu soch bhi nahi sakta hum teri kitne abhari hai ki tune Siya beti ka haath humare pariwaar ko diya hai. Par Nikhil, yeh shadi nahi ho skati."

[[Nikhil, I have always treated you like my own brother and you can't imagine what you did for us by agreeing to marry Siya with Vihaan but we are calling off the wedding."]]

As he completed, the comfortable smiles in the room turned into shock, disappointment and frowns.

"Par bhaisahab-" Chachu cut off Nikhil uncle to say "Nikhil, I am really sorry yaar. Vihaan-" He glanced at Vihaan and continued "Vihaan ne kal shadi karli, us ladki se jisse woh pyaar karta tha."

[["But elder brother-" Chachu cut off Nikhil uncle to say "Nikhil, I am really sorry my friend. Vihaan-" He glanced at Vihaan and continued "Vihaan married someone whom he loves."]]

Hearing this, Shaurya jumped out of his seat with slight anger. "Kya bol rahe hai aap uncle!! Agar Vihaan ki zindagi me koi aur tha to aapne humse Siya aur Vihaan ki shadi ke bare baat ki hi kyun?" He questioned and Neha aunty was telling him to calm down a bit and sit back. He abided by her words and sat back while glaring at us.

[["What are you saying uncle? If Vihaan loved someone why would you ask us for Siya."]]

"Virat, bhaisahab aap log kya keh rahe hai?" Nikhil uncle almost pleaded.

"Hume maaf karde Nikhil, par mujhe bhi nahi pata tha ki Vihaan kisi se pyaar karta hai. Warna main aisa na karta." Chachu reasoned out.

"Par hum ek aur prastav rakhna chahte hai Nikhil." Dad said

"Vihaan na sahi par main Siya beti ko apne ghar ki bahu zaroor banana chahta hoon. Mere Ayansh ke liye doge mujhe apni Siya?"

[["Virat, elder brother, what do you mean?"

"Forgive us Nikhil, but even I didn't know all this."

"But we want to make another proposal."
