His Sister’s Marriage

Avika was happy as Samar forgave her. But she decided to convince Prema. Avika felt that they can be happy only when the family is happy. Samar came home and watching TV. Avika decided to talk about Prema.

"Samar, Shall I talk something to you?"

"Tell me, Avika."

"Prema, I mean what shall we do to convince her?"

"You no need to do anything. Most importantly I want you to stay away from this matter completely if you don't want any conflict between us again," Samar said.

Hiding tears, Avika went back to the room. She laid on the bed weeping, but hearing his footsteps, she wiped the tears. She sat on the bed.

Samar hugged her.

"I became angry remembering that incident. Please don't cry. I won't be angry again on that matter. I promise."

"It's ok," Avika said and he kissed her on the forehead.

"I will talk with Virat. If he really changed, then I have no objection. I will get my sister married to him," Samar said smiling.

"Samar is always the best. How can I question his love for his family? How can I say that he prioritized business over family?" Avika questioned herself and got tears remembering her behavior with him.

"What happened to you? Why are you crying, sweet heart?"

"I am really sorry, Samar. I didn't know which monster entered into me that time. How could I question you about relationships and all? I am not a good wife. I don't deserve you."

"No, Avika. You can question me. We are humans. We do mistakes. We learn from those mistakes. Just forget about it. But remember, whatever it is, fight with me, shout at me, hit me but don't leave me. Because it's our house. Not only mine. No one including me have the right to ask you to leave. You should never leave this house," he said pulling her closer and comforting her.

"Did you really forget it completely? You got hurt by my words. How can you forget it easily?"

"When a wife can forgive husband for every mistake then why can't a husband forgive wife?"

"I love you and I promise I would never hurt you ever. I never doubt your love towards our family. Just give me your trust one more time, and I swear, I will never break it."

"I love you too. I always trust you. No matter what happens between us."

"Samar, why do you hate Virat?"

He sighed and then said.

"Virat is my best friend during my Masters. Everyone thought we were brothers instead of friends. The only thing which I hate in him is he plays love game with many girls. I fought with him many times but he didn't change.

One day, one of the girls from my batch complained against Virat saying he cheated her and she is pregnant. But Virat didn't react and warned her to go out of his life. He used his money and backfired the case saying she is a prostitute. She committed suicide. From that day, I hate him. I got him arrested and after five years, he returned from the jail."

"Samar, Why didn't you say all this to Prema?"

"She is not in a mood to trust all this."

"I am sorry. Without knowing this I tried to spoil her life."

"It's ok. Let's talk with Virat first. If he's really changed, we can give him a chance," Samar said.

In the morning, both were busy in getting ready to the office. They heard the door knocking sound and Avika opened the door.

"Sister, can you please call Samar?"

"Virat? Ya, sure, just a minute," Avika said and called Samar.

Samar came downstairs and invited him inside.

"Avika, bring a cup of tea for Virat. If I remember correctly, you prefer tea to coffee," Samar said.

"Sister, I want you too to listen to me. I came here to talk to you both," Virat said.

"Ok, I will just come," I said.

After serving tea to him, Avika settled beside Samar.

"Samar, I know you are still angry at me and not ready to trust me. But it's true that I have changed now. I have no affairs. It's true that I loved Prema for you, but not to cheat you or Prema.

I thought if I marry her, then you will accept me as a friend again. I don't have any bad intention, Samar. I know I did a very big mistake in the past. I realized my mistake only when my sister expired committing suicide as someone cheated her.

I promise you that I will never hurt Prema. Now I really love her. At first, I loved her only to regain your friendship but now I am in deep love with her. Now whatever you decide, I am ready for it," Virat said "I need time to think and discuss with my family, Virat. I can't make a fast decision that might put my sister's life at risk. Now if you leave, I will start to my office," Samar said and went off rudely.

I didn't understand why he behaved like that. We went to the office after that. In the evening, Samar came home late.

"Where were you until now, Samar?" I asked.

"I enquired about Virat. He really changed now a days. I will talk to my parents about their marriage," Samar said making me happy.

They made the arrangements for Prema's marriage. Prema got married to Virat. But still Samar's parents didn't talk to Avika. Samar tried to convince them but they are still angry at her. However, Samar succeeded to bring them to their home. Prema is happy with Virat.

Avika read somewhere that remaining culprits who spoiled her life were also found dead. She tried talking to Samar but he avoided that topic increasing my doubt. She was in her room thinking about this.

"Sweet heart, tomorrow we are going to Bangalore," Samar said, sitting beside her and giving her a side hug. Avika nodded.
