CAN I?? novel Chapter 33

VEDANTH POV:

You know what I'm doing, sitting idle that too in between my soon to be wife and mom.

If you are wondering what I'm doing in between them, we are all going for our wedding shopping.

I agreed because it's my only chance to meet Aadhya without them noticing me. When they are engrossed in shopping I can meet her it's my plan.

Shhhh...don't leak to anyone otherwise they will stop me.

I hid my excitement inside and texted Aadhya to come meet me outside a cafe near the boutique we are about to go. She immediately replied back saying ok

I felt like hugging her and tell her my situation. How helplessness I'm

When we reached there, I acted like I'm not interested and exited quietly. But Samrat annaya saw me

"Where are you going?"

"Annaya, just help me to meet Aadhya. I have to" a slap stopped me all of sudden

"Annaya" I asked in surprise

"Yes...tell me" he yelled 

Unable to talk anymore, I stood there dumb folded. He never raised his hand on me when I annoyed him to his peaks but why now.

"You knew I love her right?! Then what's wrong in meeting her"

"Do you want your vadina parents to die" he said showing me a video of them along with some goons.

Now I understood why vadina agreed to sign. No wonder my parents did it!

"What will they get by forcing this many members"

"Annaya, I will be quick. She will be waiting for me, I promised her I won't leave her" I said and went to cafe ignoring him

Sorry annaya, but I have to meet her.

My eyes are scanning for her in cafe, there she is sitting in a corner table thinking something.

I felt calm inspite of pain I'm going through.

"Aadhya" I called her

She turned her head, I kneely observed her. Who knows what will happen, when I tell her my decision.

I sat infront of her "how are you" I asked her the most stupid question.

"Not good actually. I missed you so much. You know" she is about to say something but I told her

"I'm getting married" if I listen to her, I may not tell truth afterwards.

"What..stop joking" she said laughing

"I know you said this to cheer me up" but please don't say that" she said with little bid of warning tone.

By observing my facial expressions,she again asked me

"Are you getting married for real" I nodded confirming her in a yes.

"Why it's happening to me" she uttered slowly may be to herself but I heard that.

"See Aadhya, Just wait for me a year and then I will divorce her for sure..can you wait for me?"

She smiled loudly which is enough for whole cafe to look at us.

I said sorry to all of them and sat back, she turned her head so that I can't see her face.

"Aadhya" I called her

"PLEASE... Aadhya just a year" I pleaded her

"Not just a year Ved" she whispered yelled

Then I saw her eyes filled with tears..

"Not just a year, It's another women life. In this so called just a year she expect love, time, support. She will build her future with you, she will dream for you only for you."

"Aadhya, I don't love her" I'm about to say something

"You're doing same mistake as nikhil, he left me for Yuktha and you are ready to leave that girl for me. Do you want to make her another Aardhaya." She asked me straight away

"Aadhya, I know it's wrong to leave a girl like that but I can't loose you, I love you"

Someone HELP ME to make her understand my situation...

She smiled sadly and said "you will eventually learn to love her, trust me I telling this from my experience"

"I'm so sorry ved but it's going to be our last meet" with that she stood up and ran out.

I can't believe this, I lost her forever..

I placed bill and went towards boutique.

"There you're come, I selected matching outfit design for us" Avira dragged me with her

"Is it nice, do you like it" she asked me, I did nothing except nodding at her.

"I'm feeling tired, I will go home" I  said to Avira

"Oh...don't worry you can go I will select it for you" she said with smile

When I'm about to leave my mom asked me to drop her.

"But she said she will take time" I argued with mom

"Avira, come here. Wedding is day after tomorrow you should take rest, I and your mom will do remaining shopping you go"

She nodded and blushed at word marriage.

I called driver and we hoped on backseat. It's more than 20 minutes we both are sitting quietly not talking with eachother.

But this silence is what I needed, I have  already occupied mind with Aadhya and her words.

When I'm thinking about Aadhya,I felt weight on my shoulder. You can guess who is it sleeping peacefully yup it's Avira.

I gently kept her head on window of her side and simply I too dozed off

After two days (day of wedding)

I tied three knot of scared yellow threads (thali) around her neck.

Now I'm married man, I looked at her again after settling down by her side. She is wiping her tears with her hand filled with Henna.

We followed every ritual in wedding and it's time for Appaginthalu(this js called with different names..it's bride leaving for her in-laws home bidding byes to parents)

She is crying hugging her father, mother.

"Please don't make her cry for what I did, she is more precious to me" her father said to me

I nodded and guided her to sit inside the car.

But who will take care of me, and my pain...what aadya said is right?? I'm doing same mistake as Nikhil

What about aadhya, ansh and how can I leave without them??

I left all the unanswered questions to destiny to answer them without my involvement but itseems it's doesn't work out for me..
