Love Is Not A Fairytale

Chapter Ten

Sanjana's POV:

It was Saturday morning.. Arnav had already gone to office and I was cleaning my room when my phone buzzed. It was Vishal.

"Hey beautiful, good morning.. " he said sweetly and I smiled..

"Heyy... " I replied back.

"Well... Sanju... umm... your mom spoke to me.. " he said, quiet stunning me.

"Okayy... what did she say? " I asked.

"Well you know... she wanted to know about us... " he said. I was quiet confused.

"What do you mean? " I asked.

"Well, she wants us to start a future after you and Arnav get divorced. " this took me aback.

I and Vishal have been childhood friends... We were in the same class and he even confessed his crush on me but, me being me I said we cannot be more than friends..

Vishal was the first boy I ever took with me to my house. Mom thought that I like him more than a friend but, that was never the case.. He was liked by both my mom and dad. He is what you call a gentleman and Arnav is a completely confused Bad Boy as you say.. Why am I comparing him with Arnav?

"Your mom told us to go to your house today, so... when shall I pick you? " he asked. I gave it a thought.. maybe mom is correct somewhere.. I need to settle with my life.

"You go to my place... I come within 15-20 minutes.. " I said.

"Okay then bye.. " he said in a happy tone.

"Bye.. " I replied and hung the call..

He seemed happy.. I shouldn't give him false hope. Even if I marry him, it'll only be for mom and the rest of the world... to me he'll still stay a friend.. I headed downstairs, asked maa for the permission to go to my house.. She agreed and I made my way home...

Arnav's POV:

My work was almost done in office. I decided to head home early and surprise Sanjana..

Soon after I reached home, I found Sanjana not there.. I inquired mom about her whereabouts and she told me, Sanjana had gone to her mom's house..

I quickly freshened up and thought of waiting for her... It was almost an hour and a half but, she hadn't returned.. I was getting impatient now, where is she?

I jumped off bed and got ready, I made my way to her house and rang the doorbell.. Sanjana opened the door..

I smiled at her but it soon turned to a clenched jaw when I saw Vishal and her family all in the house..

"Who is it beta? " Suhana aunty asked..

"M-Maa it's Ar-Arnav.. " she replied, still staring at me with a scared expression.

"Oh! Call him in.. " aunty said and Sanjana moved from my way.

I entered and touched aunty and uncle's feet.. I sat on an empty couch, keeping place for Sanjana, but to my surprise she went and sat beside Vishal.. I clenched my jaws again..

"Good you are here beta... Beta, both of you are matured.. you know what to do and what is right, and as you've decided to get a divorce... you need to settle down as well... You and Ranjana will soon be settled, thus I thought Sanjana should settle as well.. so she and Vishal are ready to settle as well.. " she finished.

I was shocked. I looked at Sanjana... Vishal was holding her hand and both were smiling... there was a different pain in my heart... she can't go..

Wait! Why do I care? Isn't this what I wanted? Isn't this what I wished for? Then why do I care??
