Chapter 5

RAGHAV POV

"Siya I think we have something important to discuss. You already aware about what I'm talking, right?" I said coming to the point

Siya looked at me and said softly "Yeah, I know"

I took a deep breathe knowing this is a conversation om which both of our future depends.

"Look, we both are well know to the fact that this is kind of a forced marriage. But now it's our decision whether we want to be together or apart. So what do you want in your life? It's your decision whether you want to give this relationship a chance or not. If no then we will part ways, but if yes then you can't take this decision without knowing me properly. I don't know what you want in your partner as you also don't know about my preferences, so I think we should discuss it now and then take decision. So tell me first do you want to give this relationship a chance?" I asked.

"I-I actually I think that even if we give chance to this relationship we should first discuss the matter with our family" Siya said.

"look Siya family's opinion do matter but when it's your life decision then I guess first you should take a decision about what you want. Atleast get to know about each other or each other's family." I said understanding her point but still at the end the decision should be taken by us.

She look in my eyes and I swear those are the most beautiful eyes a sudden spark is felt in my heart because of those brown eyes... I come out of my thoughts when she said

"family? I will not hide anything from you guys, because we don't know what future holds so I want that you take your decision after knowing every single thing about me. Mr. Raghuvanshi, you already know my name. In my family apart from me I have an elder sister and younger brother, my sister lives in Canada after completing her studies and doing job while my brother completed bachelors just a month ago.

Apart from them in my life my brother-in -law, my two uncles and their family, they are my father's friend. That's it. I don't have anyone apart from them. In friends, I have only one bestfriend, who is also daughter of my uncle and aunt. That's it. A--"  She was cut off by Ekansh bhaisa.

"What about your parents?" He asked and even I too want to know about that

"I was about to come there. My parents deid 4 years ago in an accident. Me and my siblings are independent we are earning and living, leading a happy life, this life is enough and sufficient for us" She said with a proud look and I don't know why but I felt proud too.

"Sorry" Me and bhai sa said at once to which she give a smile.

"So we have to inform your siblings only" bhai sa said nodding his head.

"I don't think that your sister will disagree." I said feeling the positivity after hearing about her sister.

"I know that my sister will never agree untill she is satisfied that you are perfect for me. Because in her case she took two years, to agree to marry my brother-in-law. She is a strong headed woman. She prefers to get the solution first then to deal with the problem. According to her and even me in this world we can't trust every one. Because "change, is life" so people will change according to the changes in situations. But what matters is, if they care for each other enough then, they will be together. There should be a soft point for each other. And ya we have to take permission from my uncle and aunty too. Because they are important to me after my siblings. And I respect them, so never want to do something which will upset them." She said with smile which shows how much she is respectful and grateful towards them.

"hmm I understand, but as you said that your elder sister is a strong headed woman and has a strong personality, then do you think that she will agree if we agreed to give this marriagea chance?"

Now after hearing this I doubt it.... somewhere I feel sad but still if they disagree then we are at no place to give this a chance after knowing her love towards her small sweet family.

"do you accept this relationship?" She suddenly question me making me look deeply in her eyes and I questioned her back

" do you want me to?You are ready to accept this marriage? Do you think we should give it a try?"

Siya gets nervous and keep her eyes down and change the topic, but I wanted to know the answer

" if both of us will agree then first we have to face my brother-in-law." She said now who is this ohh so important brother-in-law in her life

" who is he. I mean what he is doing and all" Ekansh bhaisa asked.

" his name is HARSHAD PRATAP SINGH SHEKHAWAT he is MD of 'cherish fashion'. His own company " she answered

"is this new?"

" may be around 6 to 5 years or some."

Both bhaisa and Siya were talking while after hearing the name I smirk made it's way on my face

"I know how to contact him but for now we have to take a decision."

"you didn't said about yourself " she asked. Gosh I hate when someone cut me off. Therefore, I said little coldly, "Yeahh, if you let me finish my sentence. Siya, I'm not what I look like" Just when I was about to continue bhaisa interrupt me this time, I really hate this type of conversation.

"true Siya, he is really a dump and stupid creature. He shows that he is cold rude and a beast who don't care about anyone but actually he is a stupid 30 year old babyboy who is scared of Veer bhaisa and ya not to mention he is scared of lizard and rat too." Bhaisa said with smirk and looked at me, while my expression went from annoyed, to shocked and then to embarrassed for a second when Siya suppressed her laugh, then again to cold and straight serious look.

I looked at Siya and said a little sternly making her stop laughing immediately

"stop laughing I'm not scared of anyone... "

I then throw a normal glare at bhaisa, as he was about to open his mouth again but stop hearing me

" and we are discussing a serious matter so it will be better if you don't interrupt me again or my Rex will love to spend time with you" I said with a smirk when I noticed his scared and nervous look, being satisfied I looked at Siya and continued

"Siya, I'm a business man who was never actually interested in marriage but I'm a man of my words if I give my promise then I will fullfill it, whatever it costs. I'm cold, I don't like to talk much, I never like when someone interrupts me or interfere in my business or life. I will not hesitate to kill someone who will get on my nerves. A very demanding and dominating man and stubborn. Protective"

(But Siya will change your personality, will see how you both manage with this new phase of your life)

"Hate lies, and cheating and I'm a strict and passionate person. My anger is something you will never like, it is dangerous, I'm Dangerous. A beast for the one who hurt my loved ones. I'm not perfect. Other then that we it means ME, EKANSH BHAISA, VEER BHAISA,VANSH. All of us are mafias too. The king of underworld is Veer bhaisa. Everyone knows that but no one goes against us.

We are royals. I can assure you that if we are agree, then my family will agree too. But you should also learn that it is not necessary that everyone will like us in this world. Not everyone's opinion matters in our life, others words should not affect us." I looked at Siya to see that she is getting uncomfortable and her face gets pale. Clearly indicating that she is scared. So I asked while looking deeply in her eyes.

"tell me what is your decision or what you think now?"

she didn't answered.... This is something I don't want from my wife, I don't want her to be scared of me.

Relax Raghav, It's normal for anyone to gets scared. What do you expect her to be? If you will tell her right away that you are mafia and doing illegal business and all. Agghh why so stupid!

" What are you scared of Siya? I agree that we are mafias or underworld kings but believe me we don't kill innocent there are some people who deserves it." Said Ekansh bhaisa

"but that doesn't give you right to kill people they too have family, children!" she said interrupting him, she should understand what bhaisa is trying to say instead of following her thoughts only....

I said in cold voice which send shiver to everyone present there, Ofcourse that was rude behavior eventhough it wasn't intensionally but still no one can disrespect my elder brothers

"the one who has family or who actually care for their family will never do something that will bring them close to their death. Sometimes to do justice to kind people we have to cleans the garbage of society. Understand, and I will not appreciate discussion on this topic again."

Siya nodded silently and zoned out thinking something.

"What are you thinking so deeply about?" I asked looking at her deep thinking l, worried, upset face.

"y-you said that to were never interested in marriage, why?" She asked

" maybe because before I never wanted to."

I answered looking intensely in her eyes making her shy away and a very small smile come on my face she is just so cute to be handle

"What are you thinking Siya there is something bothering you we can see that" Ekansh bhaisa asked her.

"umm What is your opinion about marriage. I mean it is just a responsibility or umm What is it to you?" She asked and I got that she is overthinker and insecure. I have no problem in over explaining.

Listening this I eye ekansh bhaisa which he understand and slowly excused himself.

Till now I get that she is not really comfortable with this marriage because of her overthinking, yes overthinking we can clearly see that she is an overthinker. So now I get it that she is not scared of us being mafia. I'm relaxed that she is not scared of me.

But I have to talk to her that marriage is not only a responsibility, rather it is more than that.

I answered seriously while looking deep inside Siya's eyes.

"to me marriage doesn't only mean love affair. Marriage is like a commitment, a commitment to a person that you will be with them, Support them, respect them, trust them, care for them, it is a commitment to our other half that you will be my prime concern, it is a commitment to respect the one and to love the one and to be loyal to them. It only becomes successful when there is a investment of thoughtfulness, forgiveness, time, affection, prayer, mutual respect, care, and lastly love. It's is a rock-solid commitment between husband and wife. Now tell me Siya, why do you think that it's just a responsibility?"

"I-I'm scared. Actually I'm scared to form any new relationship. I Fear, I can't always act strong and that I'm fine even if that person leaves from my life. And if it will be just a responsibility then one day any person will get ride of it. To me, marriage is something so pure and deep, we can't come out and try it once again. Marriage happens only once doing it again and again will loses it's purity. It's Like we are born again, to start a journey which has no specific destination but it is a journey full of ups and downs which can be cleared by holding hands. Understand our partner's feelings and words even before they express it. Doing little little things; make them feel special and worthful.

It is filled with laugh, taking decision and making choices at ever point, journey which has care, respect, love, affection,loyalty but at the same time it has some disappointment, anger, and hurt, a little spiciness and bitterness but sweet and soft too. Marriage is feeling all this for the rest of your life for only one person, the person you thought is perfect even by being imperfect" She said the last line giving me a smile and a small smile appeared on my face after listening the last line.

" Siya, you don't fear the term marriage, you fear of being ended up alone. But you know what?

According to me, Every single event happened in our life is an opportunity for us to choose love over fear.

Decide yourself." I said and Smile softy. I got up to leave but stopped hearing her timid voice

" are you r-ready?" I turn around smile and look at her

" you yourself said, that one should understand their partners words or feelings even before they express. So find it your self and yeah we are leaving tomorrow to meet your brother-in-law, so take your decision soon" I said and left with smile of satisfaction, I feel like something missing is found.

What do you think that Siya will agree , or there is something with will make them wait.
