CHAPTER-4

Its been three days since Ansh has gone to New York for the project. In the short time of their marriage, both had become so acquainted with each others presence. And now that they were far away, they were missing each other. Ansh had been very busy with his project but he made sure to video call to Avni to see her face. Even a glance of her was acting as an energy booster to him. Whenever he thought of her, a smile always appeared on his face. These three days that he has been away from her, he had only one thing on his mind, to finish his work quickly and go to her, who was eagerly waiting for him.

While back at home, Avni was counting days for Ansh's comeback. She was missing him. Throughout the day, she would wait for his call so that she could see his face. After their first kiss, both had become close. They were slowly and slowly taking steps in their relationship.

It was nearly 11 at night when Avni and Sakshi went to bed. Since Ansh had gone to New York, Avni was sleeping with Sakshi. While Avni was busy texting Ansh, Sakshi was lying on her back thinking about a serious topic. There was something that she wanted to ask Avni but all this time she couldn't. Avni was either busy with her mother in doing household chores or attending to Ansh. By the end of the day, Sakshi would find Avni totally tired. In these three weeks, Sakshi found changes in Avni. She had become more responsible and was slowly shedding her childish nature. In spite of seeing Avni every single hour, Sakshi was still having a hard time believing that Avni is married that too with Ansh. Whenever both would talk about their future, Avni would always drop the topic of marriage. She was a girl of many dreams and always wanted to achieve those dreams before getting married. But then what made Avni change her mind. Sakshi wanted to ask that to Avni. And since Avni was free now Sakshi decided to ask her.

"Avni?" Sakshi called her still looking at the ceiling. On hearing her name, Avni turned her heard towards Sakshi and saw her looking at the looking the ceiling with a serious look. "What ?" "Why did you agree to the marriage?" "What kind of question is this?" Avni was now confused hearing Sakshi's question. "What I mean is, you have so many dreams and you always wanted to fulfill them before getting married. And you even haven't graduated. So why did you agree to the marriage?" Avni understood what Sakshi meant.

Suddenly Avni's thought went back to the day she got to know about the proposal.

FLASHBACK

Avni was busy studying in her room when she heard her mom calling her for dinner. When she arrived at the dining table, everyone at already taken their places. Today her aunt was already there. She had come to stay for few days. Avni went and sat beside her aunt who was waiting for her. After the food was served everyone got busy in eating when she heard her father calling her name. She looked at him and saw him having a serious expression. Something she rarely sees.

"Avni there is a marriage for you." Avni got shocked. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. "what? Please, dad, say no to them." "No, I will not say that. In fact, I have assured them that this proposal is final." Avni just couldn't believe her dad has already done that. "Dad but what about my studies?" "I have already talked to your in-laws about it and they have no problem with you continuing your studies even after marriage.In fact, their daughter is going to the same college. Sakshi and you can always go to college together." "What does Sakshi have to do with this?:" "Because its Sakshi's Brother, Ansh you are getting married to." "What?" Now Avni was even more surprised. "When you were in college, They had come here with the proposal. And we said yes to them. Because of your friendship with Sakhi, her father and I have also become friends. Sometimes I go to their house and I have met Ansh there and he is a good boy. He will keep you happy." "Dad please I have not ready. I am only 22 dad. I know nothing about marriage and family." "Avni I was already planning to get you married you in 2 years. You know I am getting retired in 4 years. And after retirement getting two daughters married is not easy. Moreover, your sister has still hasn't joined her college. College fees, two marriages and running a household is going to be too difficult, So your and I had discussed to arrange your marriage in 2 years but then today such a good proposal. So we decided that we were going to do it in years why not now. I know Avni what you want to, that you are not ready, you are in doubt if you can carry out your duty and other things. But dear one day or other you have to face these. I know you can do it." After listening to her father Avni understood her father's condition. She didn't want to be a burden to him. Knowing that this is the only thing to do, she nodded her. "When is the marriage? " "In 1 month?" Now everything was becoming too much to intake. "They suggested and after a long discussion, we said yes." Avni could only nod her head. "Please give me some time to digest everything. I am going to my room." Saying that she left.

Avni was lying on her bed when she heard someone knowing at her door and then the door opened. She turned her head and saw her aunt coming towards. She got up and sat leaning her head against the headrest. Her aunt came beside her. "Avni what is going on in your mind dear? Say me, Your parents are not going to come now. I told them not to disturb us. If they want they can talk to you tomorrow. So be free and tell me what is going on in your mind." Avni looked down and started crying. Her aunt seeing her vulnerable condition her, "Don't cry dear, Tell me what is it. Do you want me to talk to your dad? Shall I plead him to cancel it?"

"No, don't do that aunt. I don't want to be a burden to him later.He is right in his place. Later he will be having a hard time and I don't want that." "Shhh don't say like that. You are not a burden. Your dad is right about the issues he is going to face later but never think that you are a burden to him. He loves you a lot. Do you want to know knowing something?" "What?" "After Ansh family went home today both starting about you, this marriage and saw tears in their eyes, You not even married and they were already crying thinking that you will soon leave us to go to your in-law's house." Hearing that Avni cried even more. She never thought that she would get married and leave her home so soon. She knew she was going to miss them a lot. "Aunt will be able to be a good wife and a good daughter-in-law? I know nothing about marriage, being a wife. I am not even matured and now how I can take such big responsibility?" "You know I too had these thoughts when I got married to your uncle at 20. But then your uncle always was there for, correcting my mistakes, taking care of me. He was there in every step with me in every step I took. With him, I felt safe and knew I can overcome anything. Just always have trust in your husband. You must be thinking how can I trust a person whom I don't know. But then remember they are our better halves. We are linked. And there always a force that binds us. This force will help us to overcome everything together."

PRESENT

After hearing everything, Sakshi didn't know what to say. Her friend gave away her freedom for her family. "You know what Sakshi, I was unsure and nervous about this until the day of my marriage but then there was one more person who helped her." "Who?" "Your brother." "My brother?" "Yes, I was nervous when I was sitting in mandap but then when your brother was putting vermillion he gave me an assuring smile. His smile made me calm down. It was like through his smile he wanted me to convey that he is with me now so I shouldn't be nervous. Sakshi initially I had many insecurities relating to the marriage but then with Ansh Ji, all these insecurities have gone away. I like this marriage. I am happy I married him." Sakshi noticed the smile that appeared on Avni's face when she was talking about Ansh. She was happy that his brother was the reason behind her best friend's smile. "Ohhh so love is in the air huh?" "I am not sure if its love or not but I do like him," Avni said and blushed. Sakshi seeing her friend blushing started laughing and went on teasing her.
