Destiny found you

Chapter 5

Hema said shockingly “What are you saying Aryan? What made you make such a decision.”

“Yes, what happened suddenly Aryan? If you are thinking that for taking care of Muskaan such steps are needed then you are wrong. We are there to take care of her. You don’t have to just take a namesake relation of husband wife to fulfill it. She needs much better than that.” said Aryan’s Dad

“Maa, Papa actually Harsha sir on his death bed took a promise from me to marry Muskaan and I know even if there is no relation between us, you all are going to take care of her like your daughter.”

“And Papa, I am not going to have a namesake relation. I promise you that I will take full responsibility for her to take care of her and her father, and support her in every aspect of her life. Also, I am going to take over her treatment.” said Aryan.

“But bhai, you sure about it because I don’t want my best friend to be hurt by you” said Rahul

“I know you all love her and treat her as your family member. But try to understand me also. I have to fulfill my promise and you all will be there to see whether I am fulfilling my responsibilities of her husband or not.”

“Fine then, I am happy that I will have a legal relationship with my daughter now. I can fulfill all her wishes.” said Hema excitedly.

Rahul asked in a very excited manner “Bhai, when are you planning to have marriage. I will have to take a leave for my Bhabhi.”

“Next week Monday.”

“What we have only 3 days. I know the marriage cannot be grand because of Harsha sir’s death but still there are things that need to be shopped like new clothes, mangalsutra etc for Muskaan” said Hema. She informed Muskaan that tomorrow thay would buy things of her liking.

Aryan exhaled in relief after his family accepted his decision and they were more excited that he thought. It was his mother’s dream to see him getting married which was going to happen.

***************

On Monday

A lawyer came at Aryan’s home to register the marriage. Hema dressed Muskaan in a new dress in which she was looking very pretty. Hema put a kala tikka behind Muskaan’s ear to ward off the evil from her daughter’s life.

Muskaan signed in her childish handwriting as she thought a fancy dress competition was going on and she is the winner. After Aryan’s signature, they became lawfully wedded.

“Aryan, put the sindoor in Muskaan’s hair partition and put mangalsutra in her neck.” said Hema.

Aryan knew Hema was not going to back down without this, as per her wish. After he put sindoor in her hair and mangalsutra in neck, he looked at her. “Beautiful, she is mine.” thought Aryan. He didn’t know from where again the feeling of protectiveness and possessiveness came.

He shrugged his thought “This is wrong. I have married her to promise Harsha sir's wish and to protect her from the outer world. I will support her every time in any situation.”

“Congratulation Bhai and Bhabhi” said Rahul.

Muskaan asked “Who is Bhabhi? Where is she?”

“You are my Bhabhi”

“No, I am Muskaan”

“Yes, you are Muskaan, my best friend and you are my Bhabhi also”

“What Bhabhi does? Do they play? If you will play with me now then only, I am your Bhabhi” hearing Muskaan all laughed. A smile came on Aryan’s lips also thinking “She is so innocent.”

“Okay, I will play with you now. Catch me.” said Rahul and started running.

Muskaan also started running to catch him.

“Rahul, easy. See that Muskaan doesn't get hurt.” Aryan warned Rahul as he saw Muskaan running behind Rahul.

Seeing concern in Aryan’s eyes for Muskaan, Hema thought “With Muskaan’s laughter, my home became home again and one day my son will also start living a life.”
