Destiny That Binds Us

21: In my wildest dreams!

"Come on, who doesn't want to marry him? He is ---"

God, help me
Please.

"He is not bald--and he has both his kidneys and--and all 32 teeths " I faked a smile.

Shit!

Is the pit in the backyard ready??

"Seriously? Are you alright?? Have you lost your mind on the way??? Because you are acting that way." Mom's eyes grew wide looking at me. 

"Fine, let me tell you. Listen I went to Vikram's office today--" 

It really took a while to explain everything to mom.

"--And his mom--She is really up to something. I am scared of what she might do to Megha and Rohit. The way she answered--She didn't ask at all, just demanding me to do stuffs."

Now I know where that idiot got this trait.

"What if she purposely does something to Megha for publicity humiliating her family that day or--"

"That wasn't your fault, his stupid son did the deeds" Mom answered leaving me shocked. 

"Then why didn't you talk with me for weeks." I rolled my eyes.

"Of course I would be mad at you. I thought you used to share everything with me, but then you straightway lied to my face. I had to be mad at you" She put up a puppy face.

"I know it was his fault, but I just don't know mom--I don't want to take a risk with Megha's life. She might be mad at me for taking such a decision today, but later when she realises that she will never be able to marry Rohit and live the life she had imagined--that day will be heartbreaking for us."

"But I can't sacrifice one daughter for the other right? You both are important for me" She answered distressed. 

"Mom, you don't have to worry about me, I will be totally fine. Vikram is really so caring-- and Kind and--so loving" I hugged her.

Yes he is Kind, caring and loving.

In my wildest dreams.

After an hour of discussion, finally it felt mom was partially agreeing to my decision. 

Though it wasn't completely my decision. 

'I know why I am doing this. I am strong. No one can break me or my family.' I silently told myself.

"And what is that lady thinking huh? Is she planning to kidnap you and murder you or what? Who plans marriage a day before? I think we need to book an entire asylum for her family " Mom said with fuming anger.

"I won't let her conduct this anytime soon. If she has her ways to make things do, then so do I. I will talk to that maleficent lady"

It took me a while to console Megha, as she wept in my lap for hours. 

"I don't want that idiot. If he can leave me so easily, why can't I?" She wept hugging me, as I stroked her hair.

She can't even say that without crying.
