Some things have to end in order to start new things in life.'

Sonakshi's Pov

"The due date for the assignment submission is tomorrow so please do so"

The voice of a female could be heard.

"Sonakshi are you listening to me?Sonakshi are you here ? SONAKSHI"

her loud and clear voice got me out of my trance.

"Ye....yes ma...mam yes" I replied stuttering.

"You seem lost Sonakshi. Is everything all right?" She again questioned.

"Yes mam everything is alright" I answered back more like mumbling to myself.

As soon as the class got over I immediately closed my laptop and sat on the edge of the bed thinking about whatever happened two days ago.

Yes, it's been two days now since the incident happened.

The bruises were recovering now. Honestly even the pain was gone but the only thing left was the scars. These scars reminded me of every single thing that took place on that day.

The incident took a very bad till on my mental health.

It left me in pieces.

I have not gone out since the time I entered my room which was day before yesterday.

Mom gives me my food in the room which at times I eat and at times Just leave it untouched.

Apparently I am just laying on my bed like a dead human while staring at the ceiling and recalling every detail of that incident.

'I can't anymore. I don't wanna stay here. I cannot bear to look at their faces now. It killing me literally every single day.

If I get even a single chance to leave this house I will take it for sure no matter what it is.'

I was consumed by my thoughts when suddenly the gate of the room opened.

"Get up Chinna" Said my mom while entering.

Her words didn't really affect me. I was still in the same position.

I didn't move even an inch.

I saw her taking sighing and just then when I thought she was going to go out of the room, my step dad entered.

'Ab hoga drama' (Now a drama will take place) I said to myself and got out of the bed.

I blankly looked at both of them.

"Hmm say" I mumbled.

My voice was straint from all the endless crying sessions.

"We were discussing about this and we think you should get married now" said my mom.

"And what makes you come to that conclusion?" I snapped at her

I looked at my mom accepting a reply but them my step dad jumped in and said "We as elders that's what we think is right"

"Oh nice but don't you think it's my life and I should be the one deciding what has to be done" I again threw questions at them.

'How can they just randomly take decisions on my behalf'

I said to myself.

"Then go earn and then do whatever you want. Your dad is not even giving a penny for your studies. You are bloody giving us a fucking hard time at this point.People are pointing fingers at us because you keep calling your step dad uncle. The whole fucking society looks at me like I am cursed. I can't bear with it anymore. Let's be honest after that incident you lost respect for me and even for you it will be freaking difficult to live so it's better you start a new life. Don't keep me hostile anymore. Please I am begging you." This time it was my mom's words.

Heartbreaks after heartbreaks this is what I have been facing. How can a person stay sane in this kind of environ...... before my thoughts could consume me she again said "Tomorrow someone is gonna come so be ready at 6" Mom said and left from there. My step dad waited foe some moment looking at me and then even he followed her lead.

I sat on the edge of my bed knowing the fact very well that they don't want me anymore. The way my dad did not want me, the very same way even my mom and uncle are done with me.

But what did I do so wrong?

I was also trying to survive and get through all of the heartbreaks which my parents gave me so why me?

I closed my eyes and suddenly the flash of the night when I was sitting on the beach flashed infront of me

"If God snatched people from you because he knows that they are wrong for you then he will be the only one give you people who are good for you. The people who will care for you and love you.Have faith and trust in him.He will show show you the way out"

All of the words of that old lady flashed in front of me.

'Bhagwan pa bharosa rakh Chinni. Sab thik hoga' (Have faith and believe in God Chinni. Everything will be fine)

I kept reminding myself the same thing again and again. Slowly as the night grew darker my eyelids left heavy and with that without even my realisation sleep consumed me.

Let's go two days back

Third Person's Pov

"Where are you going beta?" Asked Kamini to Sonakshi.

"woh kaam hai aunty. Mein aati hoon thori der mein" (I have some work. I will come back in some time)

She said and left from there.

Kamini understood that she might have an important work and left to attend the wedding.

While approaching the stage she met with a lady.

"Namaste" said Ragini.

"I have met your daughter" said Kamini.

Listening to this Ragini gave a soft smile to Kamini.

"Toh baas ab Sammu ki bhi shaadi hogayi toh Chinna ki Kab Karaya gi tu?" (Even Sammu got married so now when will Chinna get married?)

Asked chachi ji to Ragini.

"Ab ladka bhi toh aacha milna chahiya na" (We even need a good man right) Said Ragini to Chachi ji.

"We do have a boy. Kamini's son is also unmarried" said Samridhi's mother.

Kamini and Ragini both made eye contact with each other and then Kamini said "I like the girl now it's on Sonakshi and Ragini ji"

"Humna toh ladka bhi nahi dekha. Aasa kaise Kar de righta pakka?" (We haven't even seen the boy yet. How can we just like that fix the marriage?)

Said Ragini.

"Ragini come here I want to talk to you." Said Ragini's mom Sampurna.

"Ji ma" (yes mom) said Ragini and went to the room to talk to Sampurna.

"Beta Kab tak dekh legi tu Chinna ko? Tujha Pata Hai na tere baad Chinna ko koi nahi dekhega. Anuj ki family toh janti tak nahi hai ki teri beti hai Chinna.Apna aapka liya jaisa Kar rahi hai apni beti ka liya bhi Karle Ragini. Warna tere baad Hadd sa zyada akeli hojaeyagi woh. Mat Kar uska saath Ragini." (Till how long will you look after Chinna? You know right after you no one will look after Chinna. Anuj's family does not even know that Chinna is your daughter Just like the way you are doing for yourself do it for Ragini as well orelse after you she will be all alone. Don't do this with her Ragini)

Said Sampurna.

To Ragini all of these made sense.

Her eyes were by now filled with tears.

Yes right she is a bad mom. She is selfish but no matter what she would never want Sonakshi to have a miserable life.

She knows that she did not give Sonakshi a family as a kid but at least as now she wants to give her a family of her own which will chose her over everyone.

Thinking about her life and her daughter's life she finally agreed.

She looked in her mother's eyes and just nodded her head as 'yes'

After that both of them walked out of the room and went to the hall where everyone was present.

"Mein taiyaar hoon iss rishta ka liya" (I am ready for this alliance)

Said Ragini and gave Kamini a side hug.

"Chaliya ji aur ek rishta ka liya muh mittha kijiya" (okay now comeon let's celebrate one more alliance)

said Chachi ji and then everyone enjoyed that moment.

Ahuja Villa

Vanshaj's Pov

"Vanshaj quickly wake up" a voice woke me up from my sleep.

"What happened?" I asked while getting annoyed.

I know she is waking me up for her own purpose and that just irritates me.

"Did you check the message?" She asked hurriedly.

"First of all why are you here early morning?" I cross questioned her.

"Leave all this first answer my question" she again said

"no I did not because yesterday my phone died" I answered back.

Here then check it out.

She forwarded my phone. I was astonished. To be honest her excitement was making me doubt her intentions.

I know my mother very well. If she is this excited that means she has something which I know will get me mad for sure.

But still trusting her for the last time I opened my eyes and clicked on my message box.

Then I saw my mom's message which stated

'Unread message - A photo'

I raised one of my eyebrow and gave her a questioning look.

She gave me a sheepish smile.

I nodded my head and gave her a 'you are unbelievable' kind of a look.

I tapped on her profile and opened click on 'download'.

As soon as the photo got downloaded I saw a photo of a girl.

She was wearing a pastle pink coloured Kurti.

He face was not Visible but still she had a different charm in her.

I gave my mom a confusing look though I already know where this is going.

She again gave me a sheepish smiled and said "How is she?"

"Who?" I asked though I knew who she was referring to.

She slightly slapped her hand with her hands and said "arey Gadha kahi ka. Jiska photo bheja hai uska" (Donkey you are a. The one photo I have send you) She said.

"Mom not again please" I said and started to walk towards the door.

"Sunn toh" (at least listen to me) said mom.

I stood infront of her while she just grabbed my hand and made me sit on the sofa beside her.

"You know Vanshaj you should settle  down now. You need someone who understands you. You need love. You need a family of your own and the girl I have chosen for you is very good trust me. You know last day in the wedding she helped me and when I said not to take stress to her she told me that  'We are humans and helping each other will not do anything bad to us and anyways aunty people in this world are busy fighting with each other whereas I should spread some love in this world.' Imagine. In today's life nobody cares about anyone but this girl is very different. Her eyes reflect the longingness that she has in her.I have chosen her for you because if a girl who can be so empathic to a stranger then if she loves someone imagine how much she would love her then" she said and looked at me.

I was confused as to what he should do at this point of time.

She grabbed both of my hands and then continued "Beta akele Khali Ghar mein aana aasan nahi hota hai. Sabko kisi ki zarurat hoti Hai aur tujha bhi Hai. Meri kasam Vanshaj Mann ja rishta ka liya" (Child, it's not easy to come to an empty house. Everyone needs someone in their life. You have my swear Vanshaj please accept the alliance)

I looked at her and stood up from the sofa.

Wearing my swatch on my left hand I said "Kal sham 6 baje" (Tomorrow at 6 pm)

I saw Mom smiling at me and nodding while saying "I will inform Ragini Ji"
