The Replacement ✔

Chapter 5

"Don't you think it's too much" I looked at Bhai sa but he was busy typing on his phone .

"Bhaisa!! Mai Kab se kuch puch rahi ho , dhyan kaha hai aapka?" I said frustrated.
( "Bhaisa!! I am asking you something where is your attention. ")

Now I have his full attention . He looked at me and said

"No , it's not too much . It's Perfect just like you my little lady . " He said and sat beside me .

" Do you even know what I am talking about? " I questioned him with a raised eyebrow. "And don't you dare call me LITTLE I am not little anymore I am getting married!!" I said to him while making an annoyed face trying to lighten the mood to which he let out a laugh.

"You are talking about your makeup I know that. And you will always be little for me . Even Physically." He said emphasizing the last word with a laugh to which I elbowed him in his stomach and he fake cried as if he is hurt.

He looked behind my shoulder and said "Mumma look your daughter is beating me. "

But I didn't hears her sigh like she always does when she sees us bickering like we are still her little children. I turned around and looked at her face it was blank devoid of any expression behind her Dadisa was standing . Just by looking at their face I can sense that something is wrong.

"What happened?" I asked coming straight to the point , My Heart beating at the speed of a million miles per second . But both of them didn't utte a single word . Instead both of them sat on the edge of the bed . My patient is running out. Mumma's eyes brimmed with unshed tears.

"Kay hoa koi kuch bolega ya sirf dekh te hi rahege aap dono?" Bhaisa snapped at them.
("What happened will someone say something or you are just going to look.")

He also sensed that something was wrong how could he not. Mumma tried to speak but words were not coming out of her mouth she looked at Dadisa with a helpless expression and started sobbing silently.

" Betho Bache ,I need to talk to you about something" Dadisa said. To which I just nodded.

"Vo Rohan nahi mil raha ka..." but before she could finish the sentence Bhaisa cut her off. He never disrespect our elders.
(We can't find Rohan.. )

"What you mean Rohan nahi mil raha ?"

"Shayad vo bhag gaya " It was Mumma who said .

("Perhaps he ran away.")

I was not able to process what she just said right now, Slowly the words registered in my brain and the reality hit me hard, it was like someone stabbed me with a knife . Everyone was saying something to each other but everything was spinning around me. I am sweating and my heart is pounding against my ribcage that I can practically hear it beat in my ears .

It's like one second everything was good I was getting ready to get married , smiling with my Bhaisa and now it feels like the world has shattered into a million pieces.

Was I not good enough?
Maybe he didn't liked me because I didn't measure up to his expectations as a wife?
Am I too short or fat or not good looking , too quiet ?
If I had been a little chatty or called him more maybe then he would not have disappeared on me the last moment ?
He didn't even think about the reputation of my family in the society .

I am not able to breathe .

"SHIVANYA! " someone called bringing me out of my thoughts.

" Stop finding faults in yourself you did nothing wrong so stop self loathing yourself" Bhaisa said cradling my face in his palm.

I looked at him with tears in my eyes " But He Left..." I choked on my tears. And he hugged me tightly. And he let me cry. " Shh it's fine, everything will be fine." When I stopped crying and looked at Dadisa her chin was quivering , she was trying hard not to cry.

She said " Now listen to me clearly and think about what I am going to say because we don't have much time . "

"Hmm " that was the only sound that came out from me.

" There is a solution to this problem Mr Rathore has proposed that you can Marry Rohan's elder brother. " Dadisa said.

"Isn't he the only child ? " Bhaisa asked.

"No Rohan is Shrikant's son from his second marriage he also has a son from his first marriage. Please Shivanya ek baar ise baat ko consider karo." The room felt quiet I could even hear myself breathing in the Pin drop silence.

Mumma looked at me with hope in her eyes and just said " Just think about it once we don't want to pressure you , the last word will always be yours."

"Mai ye Shadi Kar ne ke liye tayiyarr ho ." The words came out of my mouth . This is the only solution , that will minimize the damage to our reputation, the media knew about the marriage between the Rathore and Ranawat but the names of both of us were confidential. It's time to think practically and I took a deep breath.

"You will do no such thing " Bhaisa snapped at me. His was on the verge of killing someone.

" We don't have any option this is the only solution. " I said not believing my own words.

" I will hunt that Fucker down and make him beg for his own life , he messed with the wrong person and thought that he can get away with it ." He said and I can cleary see that he is already making a plan.
But what good it will do?

Jo hona tha vo to ho gaya .
(Whatever was supposed to happen, happened. )

Mumma hugged me and said "I Love You Mere Baccha and we are really sorry for putting you in such a situation ."
