Mahi pov
I can't take my eyes away from him... I was continuously looking at him. He said he was married... good for him. "Well, good for you," I said and started going. I felt a grip on my wrist. "Sid, what are you doing? For God's sake, you are my sister's husband," I said, turning back. "Mahiiiii," I heard a voice and looked back. It was Sakshi di. Shit, I got tears in my eyes. "Diii," I said and hugged her. "Where did you go, and for how long? You were not there at my marriage too," she said, almost crying. "How are you? Are you happy?" I asked. "You don't even imagine how happy I am now," she said. Then I looked at her. She is wearing a saree with bangles, just like a married woman in India. "You look beautiful," I said. Somewhere, my heart is crying from inside. I shouldn't have come here. "Mahi, I want to—" "Di, I think I should go. I have some work," I said and went away. "Mahi," I heard Sid calling me, but what's the point of staying here?
I went out, and I was shocked. It was my mom and dad. "Mommmmm," I screamed and ran to hug her. She hugged me back tightly. "Mahiii, my bachi, you have grown up," she said, kissing me on my forehead. I hugged her again. "Dad," I hugged him too. "Finally, you achieved what you always wanted to achieve," he said. "Yes," I got overwhelmed with all the emotions. Shittt, I hadn't expected this. "How are you all here?" I asked. "Vineet called us." "Ohh..." "Mahiii," I looked back. It was Sid's mom. She came towards me. "Mommm," I said and hugged her. "Sorry, aunty," I said. "Don't you dare call me mom. You are my daughter too," she said. "You went away without even meeting me," she said. "I am sorry. I just can't stay here," I said, crying. "Don't cry," she said, caressing my hair. "Today there's dinner. You have to come at least for us," she said. I looked at them .. and i feel You know what, forget them. I will be there for them. I will be going to present at the dinner. "I will be there," I said.
I came back to my room. Shit, it was just so overwhelming. I told Anay everything; he got shocked by hearing all this. Soon it was evening. I was getting ready. I wore a black dress with heels. "Anay, are you ready?" I asked. "Yes, yes, I am," he said. Then we went to the restaurant. We reached there; everyone was there, leaving Sakshi di and Sid. I didn't ask about them. "You are looking beautiful," Sid's mom said. "Thank you," I said, smiling. I saw Sid's father to be there too.. " Hello uncle .. its been long i have met you..:" i greeted him .. " I know Mahi .. i was out of country for some work .. but i got to know about you .. you are one smart girl mahi.. i have heard a lot about you and your work " he said proudly.. " Thank you so much uncle means a lot.. " i said .. Then Sid entered the restaurant ... He is alone and sat in front of me. But Sakshi di was not there. "Where's di?" I asked mom. "Ahh, she is running late. She will be here in 5 mins." I got confused for a second and looked at Siddharth. He was silent and didn't look at me. I just shrugged it off.
After 10 mins, I saw di coming inside, but she is not alone. She is with some guy. She is holding his hands. I got confused, like so confused. "Hy mahiii," she greeted me. I smiled at her confusingly. "Oh yes, meet Uday, my husband," she said. My face dropped for a second. "Whattt?" I said. "Yesss, my husband." "Hy Mahi, heard a lot about you," he said. I smiled at him. Were they playing a prank on me? I was so confused and shocked right now. I looked at Siddharth; he was silent. Everyone was chatting and laughing, but me and Sid, we both were silent. I ordered gin for me, and then I went out. "Heyyy," I heard a voice, and I know it's Sid. I turned back. "You didn't get married to di?" I asked. "No," he said softly. "But why?" I asked.
"Because I was... I am... in love with you," he said. "I already told you, Mahi, that I have never loved her. I do like her as a person but never seen her with those eyes. Five years ago, I know I let you down by not accepting in front of Sakshi that I love you, but there was a reason. I thought you understood, but you didn't. You left. But I didn't stop you because I knew you went out to achieve your dreams. Still, I knew what I had to do... I had to wait for you... so I waited," he said. I was in tears. How could I not trust him? Shit... I held my face in my hands.
"Mahi... I am sorry for letting you down that day," he said. "I think I need some time alone," I said. "No, it's enough of you now. You wanted to be alone five years ago. I didn't stop you, but now don't even think about that," he said. I looked at him ... i am on verge of crying ..how oculd i not trust this man.. I hugged him. "I am so sorry... so sorry that I didn't listen to you at that time," I said. "Ssh Mahi... don't cry like that, please... don't," he said. I hugged him more tightly. "I love you, Sid," I said. He held my face in his hand. "I love you the most," he said and kissed me on my forehead. " You don't deserve me " i said holding his hands.. " i have wasted our five years .. " i said .. " Are you mad .. Mahi look at yourself .. you are so successful.. and talking about deserving .. i deserve you ... you are mine.. the day we got married our destiny made it together.. i will not let you go anywhere now.." He said .. "So what happened exactly five years ago... why did Sakshi di marry someone else? She loved you, right?" i asked.. "I will tell you," he said.
