Part 2(C)

"You?" he all but shouted seeing her in his office.

"I-" he dragged her into the nearest vacant room.

"What are you doing here?"

"It was urgent"

"We would have met at our regular place."

"Do you get the word URGENT? It was important for me to speak to you I couldn't have waited until you turned up at your convenience." She hissed.

"I had to reject one more proposal"

"So what's the big deal? You anyways rejected it, end of the matter." He turned away towards door pulling her with him to send her out.

"NO, it is not the end of the matter. Mom wants to see me get married, I can't delay it forever. Why don't you come down to speak to my family?"

"Common you know the reason for it, Your uncle will never allow me to step into your house once I say that I want to marry his niece. You know he is against love after what has transpired in your mother's life. Even Madhu aunty who until now treats me as his son wouldn't encourage this, there is Aman, who looks up to me as a brother, you want me to reveal to him that all that times I came to meet him was to see his sister, not for him. Oh god! No one would accept it ."

"So? What do you want me to do? Go ahead and say yes to any next proposal mom brings to me?"

"Don't you dare" he held her neck pinning her to the door.

"Go ahead finish it off by killing me, because you wouldn't dare to speak to the family"

"I'm trying to find a way out here."

"But you said this week you will surely come to ask about my hand in marriage? Why are you delaying this so much? I started working there on your insistence, isn't it? But I can't delay the process anymore you need to speak to my family about us. If not today tomorrow they will surely fix it and I can't escape it with excuses like freedom before marriage, job etc."

"Baby, don't worry there is no one out there who can dare to hold my love's hand in marriage, you trust me, right? so keep the trust intact "

"But..."

"No, if's n buts' now let's get you home before your family starts searching for their princess and hunt us down here" saying so he dragged her to the parking lot.

Once she hopped on to her seat he started his bike and moved towards her home.

"I decided" she spoke once they reached her home.

"What?"

"If you can't put up the courage to let this know to my family by end of this week, then I will do the honors myself. As far as the reasons you mentioned they will always remain the same so I don't see any point in waiting further, till now it was about you becoming financially secured which stopped you but now since that is taken care I see no other thing is any more important."

"But Payal.."

"No Shyam..your reasons don't matter to me anymore because they are no more significant."

She hurried into the house before he could say any further.
