CHAPTER 35 continues…

Ana is about to say something… Everybody waits for her words…

Ana with stammering words: Papa, Papa…Yeah,Lisha loved Ishaan very much…

Lisha with a sudden shock: What are you telling Ana???

Shekhar: What the hell Lisha??? Stop everything OK???You need to get married to Ishaan…No other ways ok… No more options left for you… If you are not gonna marry him, you will see my dead body at last… Ana,at least you are true to your parents…

Lisha:Dad, how will I love him??? No dad… Actually…Ana,why are you doing this to me???

Ishaan: Look at your daughter, uncle… Why is she so stubborn in not marrying me???Ana,you have to advice your sister, right???

He gives Ana a smirked look…

Ana:Li,you should marry him…Please marry him…

Lisha: Ana,what happened to you???

Shekhar: Lisha and Ana, go inside your room…I said just leave…

They leave…

At LiAna’s room…

Lisha: I know you are lying Ana.But why are you doing this to me???

Ana with tears: I can’t say anything right now… Whatever I’m doing now is a way better for us… I’m sorry Li!!!

Lisha: What the hell Ana???

Ana rushes to room’s window to see what’s happening in the hall… Lisha also does the same…

In the hall,a panditji is there… Lisha’s parents and Ishaan’s parents are talking to him… LiAna can’t hear what they are talking…Panditji leaves.Ishaan parents greet Lisha’s parents and they also leave… Now Shekhar is coming towards LiAna’s room… They see him coming and wait for his words…

Ana: Papa!!

Shekhar: Ana,make her ready for engagement function today evening… According to our tradition, bride’s in laws should come and make the bride wear the ancestral bangles during engagement… They are coming today evening around 5…Ana,you make her ready…

Lisha: Dad, this can’t happen… I beg you dad… Please…

Shekhar: Sumi,she must be ready for else your husband’s dead body will be there in the house…This is for sure…

Lisha cries vigorously…

Lisha: Dad,please don’t do this dad… I will agree to whatever you say but not this dad…

She falls on his feet and cries… He just ignores her and goes… Lisha starts sneezing and asks her mom to stop this… She is also in a helpless situation.. She goes to calm her husband down… Ana comes to Lisha…

Lisha with sneeze in between:Ana,please make him understand… You can tell dad, right??? Why are you lying???

Ana hugs her and just cries…

Lisha:What do you mean by crying??? I beg you..Please tell the truth to Dad…

But Ana reminisces Ishaan’s words… She thinks about the business of her dad, she also imagines the situation when Lisha’s photoshopped pics with Ishaan,posted in Social networking sites and Internet….She gets scared and hugs Lisha…

Ana: I’m sorry Lisha…

Lisha with a shock in her face: What do you mean??? You won’t help me,right??? Ok,then fine… I know how to take care of my own problem…Just take your hands off me,Ana…I said just take off your hands…

Ana goes to the bed. She covers herself with blanket and starts crying… Lisha tries to Aarav’s mobile… But he can’t pick the phone as he is sleeping, because of the tiredness…She leaves a message to call her immediately after the next second he sees the message….

Evening, the clock strikes 5 and Lisha is forced to get ready as a bride for engagement function..Ishaan’s Mom makes her wear their ancestral bangles…

Lisha comes to bed,cries slightly… She then waits for Aarav’s phonecall… Aarav wakes up and sees the message….He tries Lisha’s number… Sadly from that village, no network is available properly… Lisha also tried but aren’t able to connect to Aarav’s as because of the network or problem… She is even more in trouble as the marriage is fixed in 2 days… She tries for Aarav’s number, he tries her number…But they are unfortunate…Lisha tries to Rohan’s old number but goes in vain… She throws the phone and sits on the ground…. She is thinking about everything…Her heart is telling all the things…

“Rohan left me first of all… Then Ana,what is she doing now??? And why??? And Aarav, I have begged him not to go.. But what he did??? Call for every half an hour… Ha ha ha!!! You are the biggest fool to trust them,idiot Lisha… Will wait for Aarav, he will come at least!!!”

She develops a hope avd sleeps……
