Chapter 18: chapter 18

Sanjana's POVI listened to Vihaan patiently ,took a deep breath and said " , Vihaan,  the way I spoke to your parents might not be correct, maybe  I spoke to them harshly, I am sorry for it but I feel  what I spoke was correct.Whatever happened yesterday affected my mom and she has been hospitalised for a heart stroke.."I continued "Marriages not only bring two people together but their families as well, we can't live happily going against the families. Whatever they are ,however they are, they are still your parents. Vihaan, you just can't leave them for a girl who you met a few days before and the day you feel that you have lost your family just because of me, our marriage will fall apart. I don't want to separate a son from their family. A son is a walking stick  to his parents in their old age and I don't want to take away their stick from them.if you want to do something ,change their perspective on dowry , marry a nice girl and live happily Vihaan."He looked into my eyes  deeply, " Sanjana you are the only girl I love, and can't imagine my future with anyone else.but still I respect your thoughts., take care Sanjana, I will not bother you again."He stood up and turned around to leave.I saw a tall figure standing at the door, It was Aditya.Vihaan was shocked to see his boss here.Aditya patted his shoulder and said," Vihaan, yesterday when I heard you work in my company, I decided  to  remove you from the job, when I entered here just now I wanted to strangle you for pestering Sanjana, but the way you respected her thoughts, I appreciate you. I will not blame you for your parents' doings.. it's good that you are not like them.You need a break and change of environment to feel yourself better, I will recommend your name on the list of  employees who will be moving to U.S on promotion.Vihaan nodded his head, but there was no excitement in his eyes. He smiled mechanically and said," thank you sir" and left.My heart ached for  him, he is really a nice person, I just hope he gets better and gets married to a nice girl."Are you okay?", Aditya's voice brought me back to my senses.I slightly nodded my head. and said, " I am about to make a coffee, do you need one?He smiled and nodded his head in agreement.He followed me to the kitchen and said," I like your coffee ", I felt his voice seductive and felt for a second he said" I like you" My heart was beating heavily. I smiled in response.wait did I just blush for what he said??, if yes then what  if he had observed me??."Sanjana, control your Emotions" ,'' I said to myself.Soon, we had a coffee together. I felt his gaze on me, but when I looked at him, he was looking at the coffee cup. Maybe I am thinking too much.Soon, we left for the hospital. He dropped me at the entrance of the hospital," I will come in the evening ,if anything is needed , just call me."I smiled and said," Ok sir, thanks".I stood there till he left. I was with him for the past few hours and I felt I am getting attached to him, maybe because of the love I had for him deep down my heart.....Authors POVAfter Sanjana went inside the  ward, She saw her mom talking with  Aditya's parents.As soon as they saw her , Mamta said"Ok Sanjana, we will leave now , take care of Rekha and be brave , any problem we are just a call away""Thank you  so much aunty for being there for me",  Sanjana replied." We are always there for you", Mamta kissed Sanjana's forehead and said " take care" and left.After coming out of the hospital, Mamta and Vinod both sat in the car.Mamta slowly looked at her husband and said," Vinod , Rekha is worried about her daughter's future ,she feels if something happens to her ,Sanjana will become orphan, that was the reason why she quickly took the  decision of Sanjana's engagement. How about we make Sanjana  our daughter in law, Rekha will be relieved , what do you say?Vinod didn't reply and looked like he was thinking something."What are you thinking ? Is it about Aditya liking Sanjana?", Mamta asked.Vinod sighed and said," No Mamta, It's not about Aditya, he will agree to marry Sanjana.  According to me he like strong and independent girls.and Sanjana is strong , say there is no reason he will say no"Then what are  you thinking about? Mamta asked."it's about mom and Meera, don't you know what happened in the past, do you think mom  and Meera will accept Sanjana as  daughter-in-law  of this family after knowing she is Manoj and Rekha's daughter.moreover, I doubt even Rekha will agree for the wedding"( Meera is Vinod's sister)But it's been more than 20 years, Vinod, do you think Meera will still hold the same hatredness towards Rekha?., Mamta replied."I will speak to mom, don't talk about us thinking of Sanjana as his bride to Aditya and neither with Rekha",  Vinod said. She sneered  and agreed. but what they didn't know  right now was, Aditya is already head over heels for Sanjana.*********Sanjana POVWhen Mamta aunty and uncle  left, I sat near my mom, she looked better today, her complexion increased a little. I suddenly remembered I didn't inform about mom being hospitalised in Nidhi.I also remember her saying grandmother is not well.I called her and she immediately lifted my call."Nidhi , how is grandma?"" Hey, Sanju, she is better now, her B.P was high yesterday, so we had to admit her  in the hospital.", Nidhi replied." But why did her B.P suddenly spike up?", I asked." Because yesterday I told her that  you are getting engaged and she immediately raised my wedding topic infront of mom and dad, when I said, I don't have any intentions of getting married now , she got angry and scolded me".I ignored her and came to your engagement, that is when her B.P raised." , she replied.I didn't understand what to say ,so replied with Hmmm and continued, Nidhi, mom is admitted in hospital??"What, when and why?", Nidhi  asked worryingly..I explained everything to her and even told her how Aditya helped me yesterday."I will be there in half an hour, just message me the ward no and floor.", Nidhi hurriedly replied.Within half an hour, Nidhi reached, sat beside mom and said, " aunty, our Sanjana is diamond, you tried to fit in the  silver,  but silver couldn't handle it, we will search for gold , where she can perfectly fit in, what say?"My mom smiled for her comparison and I hit her on her shoulder saying " you and your comparison"What's wrong in my comparison, hmmm?? she asked with puppy eyes After Nidhi came, the environment in the room became cheerful and mom looked better.
