1. Her name

Aadhya's pov :

"Mehandi artist is sitting in front of me and is applying the design that dadi selected among all they had shown. I am not at all interested in what they are applying or not I just don't even want to get married but.....what can I even do, I can't even argue or keep my point in front of anyone as when I tried it a month ago I got two slaps one from maa and another from papa and also a lots of scoldings from bhaiya and dadi. In this house bhabhi is the only one who understands me takes my side and that is the only reason I don't want to leave this house as if my in-laws"

"Aadhu...... aadhu....aadhu"

My chain of thoughts broke when bhabhi called me

"Wh..what happened bhabhi" I asked

"Aadhya, I am calling you from the last 5 minutes. Where are you lost" asked bhabhi being concerned

"Nothing bhabhi I was just thinking something. You tell me what you were saying" I tried to change the topic and bhabhi to understand me so she said

" oh yes I was saying that mummy ji is saying that after getting your mehandi done call me I will feed you as feeding you now will disturb the artists" said bhabhi looking directly in my eyes because she also knows that I know the truth

"Bhabhi I know maa for surely didn't said these words, so you don't have to show her being concerned or happy for me, it's just that she is showing off because of the society otherwise she doesn't even look towards me" I said and I can feel my eyes being moist so I tried to control my tears and look other side

"Aadhu"

"Let it be bhabhi, I will call you after getting my mehandi done" I said because I can feel that bhabhi was about to cry, she understands me but she also can't go against the family orders and also she is too emotional as she can't see tears in anyone's eyes

Author's pov :

After leaving aadhya's side Anita started thinking about what her mother in law said to her

"Anita go tell that stupid girl to eat something after getting her mehandi applied otherwise if she fainted in the wedding groom's family will break the alliance and we won't get even a penny from them while we are spending lakhs in the wedding"

Ahe came out of the flashback and thought

" oh God why are you punishing this little girl, doesn't she deserve happiness. The moment I stepped into this house, I never saw her happy or smiling.  she was not even present in my wedding and today she is getting married just because mummy ji said if she gets married in the Oberoi family they will help us in the business to get it back at it's position as we are facing a huge loss in business...oh God please do something for her good and I wish that this time the family she is marrying into is not cruel to her"

Anita wished for her sister in law and started talking to guests as she came to her.

Daksh's pov :

"Ok Mr. Malhotra you can talk to my secretary and he will schedule an offline meeting for us after 3 days" I said and shut my laptop

"For God sake what am I even supposed to do at a mehandi function. I am not a girl who needs to get dressed and apply henna on hands but still I am not allowed to go to my own office....huhhhh"

I was thinking just then the doorbell of my room rang, yes my room is soundproof no sound can travel in and out of the room when the door of the room is fully closed so I installed a small doorbell for the convenience of my family
I opened the door and saw divi and Deepu are standing there

"Bhaiiii" said divi getting inside my room, Deepu was carrying a pair of clothes

"Bhai get ready you need to get downstairs for the rituals" said divi getting excited I smiled looking at her being this much happy but soon the smile fell as I heard the words get ready and rituals

" What rituals....what are you talking about divi, What will I even do in this mehandi function it's for ladies only" I said getting back to my laptop

"Bhaiii" said Deepu in a sad tone "please na,  maa and badi maa told us that grooms also get mehandi applied on their palms as it is a sign of auspicious to do that" she said deamingly

"But" I tried to avoid these but

"No ifs and buts Bhai you need to listen to us, we never asked for anything won't you even fulfill this wish of ours" divi said blinking her eyes like a 5 year old asking for a lolipop from her parents

I was left with no option but to do what they were saying, even I don't know why I am doing this because if I don't want to do anything I can easily shut their mouth with just a few words in my cold voice

"Ok both of you go downstairs I will there in 5 minutes" I said and both of the left my room nodding

I got ready and came downstairs and saw hustle bustle of family, relatives and friends

"Daksh... beta come here" mom said calling me when she saw me coming downstairs

"Coming mom" I said walking towards her as I saw her talking to Chachi

"What happened mom why did you gys called me here" I asked getting frustrated

"Daksh why are you being like this, it's your mehandi function and you need to be here for the rituals" said chachi "now come and sit here i will apply mehandi on your palm" chachi said while making me sit and quickly grab a henna cone

"No chachi.... I don't want all this, I need to work and go to the office too and I am not going  to office with all these in my hands" I said getting up but she hold me tight and made me sit again

"Ok I won't force you to apply a full design of henna jut let me write her name on your palm for the ritual ohk" she said while I go numb listening to what she just said...

"NAME"
"HET NAME"

i didn't saw the picture of the girl mom selected for me, but I did herd the name of the girl from mom

AADHYA

This is the name of the girls. I don't know something is happening with me after hearing this name. I heard this name after 7 whole years, last time when I heard this name was....

"Done" said chachi breaking my chain of thoughts   "see what a beautiful name *AADHYA*, right"

I saw what she wrote

Her name with 2 little hearts on eather sides of her name

It was looking beautiful, beautiful as hell. But I am unable to understand how will I be able to live the girl whose name is same as her.
