" It's all just a perfect illusion," she said as she stared at the long, rectangular shaped mirror with oak frame. 

She swallowed her saliva as her image looked back with red eyes, smudged lower eyed lids, a thin black mixed tear stained down her cheeks.  She touched her neckpiece as she eyed the shimmery cream lengha were teared apart, showing half of  her thigh. A small sobbed escaped from her lips as she covered her mouth with her hands. The beautiful intricate mehendi design that she fawned over just hours ago felt like snakes slithering on her hand.

And if you're so sure that you didn't cheat on me, then fine, let's move on to the next step,prove me you didn't cheated on me" he said, and she frowned in confusion. He realized she didn't understand his intention. "Get intimate with me, tell me that you love me, and I'll believe you. I'll believe that you're telling the truth," he said, or more precisely, made an offer. She couldn't process his words. Her heart broke as she listened to him. •••• His expression darkened, pain flickering in his eyes. "Kya kami reh gayi thi, Amisha? Sab kuch diya tha tumhe... apna dil tumharee kadmon mein rakha tha. Fir bhi tumne yeh kiya?" His words came out in a choked whisper, his composure slipping. (Was there anything I didn't give you, Amisha? I gave you everything... I placed my heart at your feet. And still, you did this) Tears gathered in his eyes, though he struggled to maintain his demeanor, reminding himself he couldn't afford to be soft. "You're hurting me," she whispered, her voice cracking slightly. His eyes flickered with guilt, but he didn't let go. "And what about the hurt you caused me?I loved you, Amisha. I gave you everything. My heart, my soul... everything. And still, you didn't choose me." Tears welled up in her eyes. "You should have looked into my eyes once, it was always you Vivaan. But your jealousy... your obsession... it's destroying us."

MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE "You didn't trust me" Guilt wash over her when a tear cascades down his eye. He is crying for the first time. She is the sole reason behind his tears. "I am sorry" She lowers her eyes in shame. He steps closer to her gripping her forearm with his left hand. A shiver rolled down her spine not due to their proximity but due to the tension vibrating between them. She looks up and her heart crack in response as betrayal brims his eyes. "You claimed to love me but you couldn't trust me. Is our love so fragile ?" His words cut through her soul. The question felt like a mock. Question on their relationship. Question on her trust for him. Question on her lover for him. "I trusted you with everything. I strip off my every layer for you. I bared my soul to you. You are the only one whom I allowed to do this and I get this in return. If this is what love feels like then I don't want it" He left arms with a jerk and heaved a sigh suppressing the anger bubbling inside him. Hurt visible on his face and his voice held a mixture of anger and pain. She had never seen him this sad. This helpless. She hates to admit that she is the cause of it. "Adhyan please don't---" "You are,you were and you will be my responsibility. So there is no chance I will hurt you, it would be best If I go away " Two souls bounded by sacred bond. Tied by the promises of their grandparents. Will they be able to fulfill their promises ? Or break them by breaking each other ? Join their journey to know what the future holds for them.

"Hey, baby?" I smile cheekily, grabbing Shreyan's attention and the girl beside him. He facepalms and looks at me, "Avyuktha?" "You look handsome, boyfriend." I wink at him and look at the girl beside him. "I'm sorry to say this. He's taken. We have engaged already." She nods pursing her lips and stands up. "All yours," she takes the seat across from Shreyan. I sit beside him and loop my arm around his. "I'm Avyuktha, Shreyan's lover since kindergarten. We are gonna marry soon." I tell her but I don't see any discomfort in him. Even the girl is just enjoying us. To spice up things, I add looking at him, "It's been so long since we have had our time." "Uh-huh?!" he smirks, "Let's go to my house then." Blood rushes to my cheeks. God! How could he just talk to me like this when the girl he is gonna marry is in front of him? I turn to the girl and smile, "He's just being desperate since it's been so long." I lean in front and say something I haven't ever expected to say, "As we are gonna become parents." Her eyes widen and I look at Shreyan. He is looking at me shocked. My plan working. The girl leans in front, "That's great news. How many months?" she asks. I look at Shreyan. He says, "It's three months." Man! he is being comfortable again. I'm gonna embarrass him to death today. No matter what!! I scoot closer and he takes deep breaths looking away, rolling his eyes in slow motion. "Baby, who is she?" "My sister," he says. I nod. "Hi, sister-in-law," she waves at me and looks at my stomach.
