D’s PoV
After lunch, again my dad, uncle, and Rishi sat for little talks! Dad insisted on taking us right after lunch. But uncle said no. He wanted us to stay for tea.
I took my mom sisters and Ravi to my room(hehe the room I’m staying in) to continue my explanation.
"So yes! Rishi is my school senior! I mean not an immediate senior. He was in 12th grade when I was in 8th grade. We had a connection back then! Kinda crush! It was mutual on both sides. He would look at me in the mornings, intervals, lunch and evenings after school! I don’t think he remembers or recognizes me now. But I felt that connection with him even now. I felt it so right to marry him! So, I made the decision to marry him." when I saw them looking hard at me I continued.
”So please don’t think that you pushed me to this wedding mee! I’m so confident I can work it out! I want you guys to remain patient."
Shanu is now looking at me like I’m totally insane. Actually, when everything was on my mind it all sounded great. I mean like I have married my first crush. I’m so lucky to have seen him.It felt like a fairy tale. But when I voiced out, it all sounded like crap! Who in the right mind will marry a man who is in love with some other girl?! I feel so stupid now. He doesn’t even recognize me. He had no idea why I married him. He must be thinking that I am a lunatic. Shanu started talking when I was regretting telling this useless story to them all!
"Did you hear yourself? You sound pathetic. We know you are so immature amongst us. But I don't know that you are a nutcase. Idiot this is a blunder. He didn’t even recognise you. And to top it all he is in love with another girl."
"Will you please stop it?" Ravi stopped Shanu from going on further.
"My brother didn’t love her. That girl was behind my brother."
"And your brother will marry any and every girl who comes behind him?" Shanu snapped out on him.
"No! He didn’t know what love is! He never had any friends that are girls. He avoided every girl that tried to befriend him. He is not a jovial type of guy. He has very little friends and all boys. When this girl approached him, he just tried to help and got trapped by her charms. He never knew her real character."
"And he is a successful business-man! No kid will believe what you say. Do you mean to say your brother is a stupid who loved a girl without knowing the real her!?"
"You are testing my patience Shanvi!"
"Whoa whoa! Guys stop it." I stopped them from a fight.
"Aunty! I know my brother. He is so short tempered. If he didn’t like this marriage he would have stopped it. Because if he said no nobody is going to force him."
"What if he was confused at that moment and decided to marry D and now regretting that decision?" Shanu reasoned.
"Aunty! If that was the case, then he would have made a havoc in this house. You guys wouldn’t be here. And Anni will be in a bad state. You just ask anni if he behaved bad to her."
My mom looked at me!
"He is so nice to me. He even talked to me like a friend. He is not angry at me. I still believe I made no mistake in taking this decision. I just want some time!"
"You are nuts! you are going to tell this stupid story to mama right now and make him recognise you and sort things out between you. I want you to live a life of happiness and love. Not some serial heroine kind of life." Shanu stated."And you! you are going to take care of my stupid sister here. If she suffers then I’m
