"Please fly off to London beta...", she almost pleaded.
"I can't Maa...", Anuj sobbed.
"She'll get married today...", she reminded him.
" I know...", he supressed a sob.
She found it difficult to remind him again knowing how badly it breaks his heart everytime she does that but she had no alternative. She sobbed a little before repeating herself, "She'll be... living in the... House... Next to... Ours..."
"Maa... Meri Anupamaa...", tears flushed his face blurring his vision.
~
Anuj Kapadiya, 19-yr old college boy of the 90s and the most eligible bachelor of the college, was deeply in love with his college classmate, Anupamaa, who he never dared talk and who he might never dare talk again as he saw her getting wedded to someone else.
With his family there for his support, would he be able to get over it or how would circumstances change and situations frame?
Nobody knows but time.
~
Anupamaa, a carefree butterfly, as he would often call her! She was 18 but more ambitious than her age but also when circumstances change, it leaves no one intact.
~
He had the choice.
He made the tougher one - To stay in his home next to Anupamaa's new home.
~
Would it mark a new beginning or close a chapter forever? Would there be any end to the sufferings and pain or would they be destined to stay apart for the rest of the lives? If no, then could the unison truly be a fairytale he wished for her?

Some events might feel slightly fast-forwarded, but I've done that to keep the essence tight, the emotions raw, and the story impactful without unnecessary dragging. . . He exhaled, running a hand through his hair. "Roop, shaadi kisi majboori mein nahi ki jati." (Marriage isn't something that should happen out of compulsion.) A bitter smile tugged at my lips. "Yahi toh farq hai tumhari aur meri zindagi mein, Anirudh. Tumhare paas choice hai, mere paas nahi." (That's the difference between your life and mine, Anirudh. You have a choice. I don't.) His expression darkened. "Main tumhari family se baat karunga-" "Nahi!" I cut him off, my voice sharp with desperation. "You won't understand. You've never seen helplessness, Anirudh. You don't know that when a girl has no options, she only looks for survival." A strange silence stretched between us, thick with unspoken pain. Anirudh sighed and leaned back against the bench, his fingers tapping against his knee. "You're telling me you'd marry any stranger just because you have no other way out?" I stiffened. "You're not a stranger." His lips quirked up, almost amused. "Until a day ago, I was." I clenched my fists. "I don't care who you are. I just need to accept this match, or the other option will destroy me." Anirudh fell silent, his gaze steady on me. The playfulness in his eyes faded, replaced by something more intense, more thoughtful. Finally, he asked, "And what if I tell you that I don't want to marry you either?"Complete
