When life takes a new turn: Chapter 9

Aditiya was bit puzzled to see me just before our wedding day where according to the hindu rituals meeting the to be bride or bridegroom before the wedding day is regarded as a bad luck. Definitely something really bad was going to happen n we both could sense it. I didn't beat up the bush n told Aditiya all about me n Sid. I couldn't understand his reactions but I'm sure he was definitely hurt. I was feeling guilty but I was helpless, I felt this short term feeling of guilt was better than having it for the rest of my life after our marriage. Aditiya's parents were roaming outside his room I guess they were trying to figure out about what we were talking that also just before the day of our marriage. After I finished my whole story I looked at him but he just said that its too late n I should go back home. My heartbeat nearly stopped for a while -
Is he still goin to marry me even after knowing that I love someone else? I was furious at him but I was not in a situation to burst out at him as some where I knew that it was my mistake n I don't have the right to react like that. I drove back home. I called Sid n told him everything that happened. He was also worried n later came up with the world's worst idea of running away and getting married in a temple or like that. It was a complete NO from myside for that. I couldn't hurt my parents, thats impossible. It was the day, the worst day of my life, everyone in my house were so happy but I couldn't still accept the harsh truth of my life that I'm going to marry someone else but not Sid. I gulped up that truth n decided to go with the flow. I was ready in the bridal attire then Mom came into the room n asked me to be strong. The entire house was full with my closed ones but only Mom knew in how much pain I was. Even she couldn't stop the marriage as it was already too late. Few hours left n my life would entirely change after that. I could hear some footsteps comming towards my room, it was Sid. I didn't want to see his face then. His presence made the whole thing even more difficult. Mom left us alone even uttering a single word.
"I want to talk to your Dad"
-"Noways I've never seen him this much happy before, this is the best day of his life and I don't want to hurt him no matter what."
We eventually got into a fight when suddenly my aunt rushed into my room n said that everything was over, Aditiya called off the marriage the last moment as he loves someone else so he can't marry me. I had a mixed feeling. I didn't know how to react. Aditiya definitely lied to his family for me. Guests had already started coming. I went to Dad's room where he was sitting all alone n it was for the first time I saw tears in his eyes. When he saw me he completely broke down n started blaming himself for everything. At that very moment Sid entered into the room n asked my hand for marriage from my Dad. Me n Dad both looked at him in astonishment. Dad's tears of sorrow turned into the tears of joy. May be that was the best moment of my life. The dark shadow miraculously went away n my entire house glimmed with happiness once again. Before that day I never knew that Sid's parents know everything his feelings for me n they fully supported him after they came to know about his decision of marrying me. We finally tied the knot. It has been 4 months since we got married n I must admit that I was never this much happy. I just got the news that Cyra n Arjun are also going to tie the knot soon . And this time Avi is very much serious about his relationship with Anisha. I called Aditiya to thank him for everything that he did for me and I came to know that he met a really nice girl whom he has even introduced to his parents. I was really happy for him n I finally got released from that horrible feeling of guilt. Avi was wrong I got my Prince Charming may be my life wasn't a fairytale but still it had a happy ending.
