Chapter 5: Chapter 5

Other's pov:

Swati noticed some changes in her son as soon as he entered the venue. Swati found him looking at a girl which was quite surprising and shocking.

His eyes held desperation, desperation for someone's acknowledgement. His eyes showed many things other than that. She could tell by instinct he liked anvitha. Swati had been pressuring him to get married and settle but he had no interest in any girl and topic related to marriage. So when he is showing interest in someone she has to grab

the opportunity and tie him up. Swati had an eye on anvitha from the starting of ishu and nishanth wedding preparation and rituals. She really liked her. She thought Anvitha suited her son sagar. She liked her bubbly, caring nature whereas her son is boring and always into himself which he calls himself as cool. When Swati found his interest in Anvitha, she took matters in her hand.

Swati talked to naina and kumar about her interest to marry their daughter to her son. Initially they were worried and not okay with the alliance. Later after compulsion they agreed to this alliance but anvitha parents told the final decision would be anvitha. Swati was elated hearing it. She noted mentally to talk with Sagar and his father as they reached home. Swati wanted to greet Anvitha and talk to her as she couldn't talk to her all these days. It's not like she couldn't but didn't want to scare the poor soul by directly talking about marriage with her, she really adored her.

All the guests started to their respective houses. Anvitha was ready to drop but she managed to cling to her brother to avoid further embarrassment. Her dopey eyes searched for her maa in the wedding hall. When she couldn't find it she sighed and closed her eyes completely to slip into deep slumber.

It can only be accomplished in dreams...

"Anvi...Anvi....wake up. I can't carry you as I have exams tomorrow. You weigh like a pig.`` Here comes Karan's irritating voice.

"PIG!!!!"Anvitha shrieked in her sleepy voice.

"You did hear only pig out of my lengthy sentence. I called you many more like buffalo, elephant, fox that too cunning fox, lizard, cockroach and non stop irritating housefly." karan laughed, holding his stomach looking at her red face.She was about to bust but interrupted by her mom.

"Anvi, come dear. You have to meet someone. " naina gently took anvitha to swati.

Naina dragged Anvitha to where Swati sat with Sagar and kishore. Anvitha for some odd reason felt nervous. It's not like she hasn't talked to people. She felt this encounter was different.

She was biting her lips out of nervousness all the way.

Sagar was busy sending mails to his pa, Kishore was doing the same. Sagar heart beated faster against his rib cage and his eyes raised from mobile to front found anvitha standing few feets away from him.

"Namaste aunty, How are you?" anvitha greeted with her sweet voice when her heart was beating crazily. She was aware of other people across her dared not to look at that side. She was confident girl but her confidence decided to ditch her when it is needed.

Sagar liked her angelic voice. He took a deep breath to keep himself sane. He had his eyes on her and didn't mind even when his mother, Kishore and Anvitha's mother noticed him staring at her. He was shamelessly gawking at her.

"I am fine Anvitha, How are you?" Swati took Anvitha hand in her love. Involuntarily Anvitha smiled at her gesture and relaxed . Sagar lips curved into smiles.

She looks even more beautiful when she smiles... he thought.

"What is your profession? What did you pursue?'' Swati was cautious about her words. She didn't want to scare Anvitha by directly talking about marriage.

"I did my BE in ECE, aunty. I have not yet planned to work staying at home.. just chilling...``Anvitha talked freely as she liked Swati and her kind gesture. Swati laughed at her comment. She looked over her shoulder and found her son gawking at anvitha. She mentally patted her shoulder for guessing correctly that her son was indeed attracted to anvitha. She was happy...very happy. If it goes as planned she would be the happiest person among.

Sagar was completely enjoying their banter until his go kicked in. It's been 5 minutes she didn't even steal a single glance at him. Here he was gawking at her like a love stick puppy. He grunted loudly. This gained her attention. She looked from her corner of eyes and found a faint handsome man sitting with his mobile in his hand. She wanted to look at him completely but she felt shy.

It's not appropriate to check handsome hunk when surrounded with people...

She mentally chided herself. Her cheek turned a shade of red. She looked on the other side to hide it from everyone.

"It's already late, we should get going. We will talk the rest over phone call regarding the bio data and details ``Naina said looking at Swati. Swati returned with the nod understanding what she was talking about.

Anvitha who had a pleasant smile on her face shrunk as soon as she heard her maa. She was confused, when she completely understood what they were talking about she stood rooted. Her eyes widened and her breath got stuck. She didn't dare to look at the side where the handsome hunk sat graceful.

"Come,Let's go anvitha" her maa whispered" greet her bye".

Anvitha mustered up confidence which had gone when she found she was about to get first encounter with her 'might be husband' whispered a ' bye aunty' and left hurriedly to her father. She needed a hug to cool down her crazy beating heart.

On the other hand, Sagar was visibly shocked by the new found information he masked with a straight face. He was confident Anvitha would look at him after all they are talking about marriage,any girl would be curious to know to whom she is going to get married. His lip curved to smirk soon it turned to anger when she fled off the place completely ignoring him.

He clenched his jaws, balled his fist eye and shot fire towards her.

He decided something unpredictable.

He took a huge step.

Just to gain her attention.

"MOM, I WANT TO MARRY HER. EITHER I MARRY HER OR STAY UNMARRIED." barked he left the venue.

Both Kishore and Swati were shocked and would be understatement. They couldn't understand what was running through his head. He never showed interest in a girl ,now all of sudden he wants to get married. They were confused about his decision. Confused would be a simple word.

Here sagar was seething with anger. He was utterly disappointed. He had mixed feelings. Anger, sadness, disappointment and what not.

He was equally confused at his behavior but he wanted her,That's his ultimatum. . The moment his eyes landed on her he was highly attracted towards her. He had never felt such attraction towards anyone.

Her ignorance created havoc in him. He had never lost his cool and never felt so on edge. His heart and mind decided to marry her and tie her to him till her last breath.

He is aware of his decision and he never bothered about her opinion . He will make sure to tie her to him through this sham called marriage. He was very confident, as usual.
