Chapter 19
Part 19
Yes, the person who saw everything was Soha.
Samaira was looking for her mom, and just then she bumped into Daadi. Even Soha and Vedika were present there.
"Sorry, Daadi," she apologised and turned to leave, but Daadi stopped her. "Ek min Samaira," she didn't say anything and looked down.
Sam's pov..
"You know what Samaira "You thought that you'd trap Veer, but you can't. He just pities you; that's why he is still in this forced marriage," said Daadi. "He pities me, no, no, he loves me."
"Daadi, what are you saying?" I said.
"I am saying right Samaira.. and you know very well that he was forced into this marriage and he is just waiting for your 19th birthday so that he can divorce you." I was shocked. "I know he can't do this..I believe him."
"You are just 19 Samaira, you are not even capable of anything," Daadi said, eyeing me.
"I just looked at Soha; she is beautiful, and she will look good with Veer; he is also a man; he also has needs, and I know Samaira you can't fulfil them," said Sasumom. I am not capable of anything.. he will leave me..damn my tears..
"He don't love you, he just pities you, Samaira." "He just pities you.. you are just a teenage girl for him," said Sasumom.
"Tumhe pata bhi hai, ek husband-wife ka relation kya hota hai?" asked Sasumom.
"It's more than 1.5 years of your marriage. You aren't pregnant, Samaira. He didn't come close to you because he thought you weren't beautiful. You are just a baby for him." Yes, this is true. I didn't know much about closeness. This means he will leave me.
"He will leave you, Samaira. Just wait and watch, and he will marry Soha," said Daadi.
"You are just a burden for him, and if you can't also satisfy him, he will leave you," said Sasumom.
I didn't say anything and sat on the chair with a thud.
"Sam baccha kya hua," mom asked, cupping my cheeks...
(Samaira, my baby, what happened?)
"Mom, I want to go home," I said.
"Kya hua doll kisi ne kuch bola tumhe," mom asked, and I nodded negatively...
What happened, doll? (Did someone say anything to you?)
"Samaira tu chal mere saath after mehndi bachelor party hogi," Alina said, holding my hand.
(Samaira, let's go with me; there will be a bachelor party after the mehndi function.)
"Diii, I am so sorry, but I want to go home because I am not feeling well," I said.
"Why Sam?" asked Alina.
"Nothing's wrong, but I want to go home," I said.
"Ok baby, go and take rest. We will see you tomorrow at the wedding." I hugged Alina and left with Rishabh Bhai. Mom was there with Dad.
"Hey baby doll, what happened?" Bhai asked..as we stepped inside the mansion..
"Nothing, Bhai, I am just a bit tired," I replied and went to my room.
I changed my dress and sat on the bed. I know he loves me more than anything. I will clear everything. I know he will come after some time to make me sleep.
It's 11.30pm. He didn't come. He didn't call me once. He don't love me, no, no, no, he loves me. He only loves me. Daadi's word rang in my ears. "He don't love you, he just pities you."
I dialled his number, but he wasn't answering my calls. I threw my phone and cried, then dozed off.

"Samaira Baccha, wake up," and this broke my sleep.
"Good morning, doll," mom wished as I opened my eyes.
"Morning mom," I sat on the bed.
"Baccha your phone," mom said, pointing towards my broken phone, which was lying on the floor.
"Mom woh.." ab main kya bolu that I broke this.
"It's ok, Baccha, leave all this; your dad will gift you a new one." I nodded.
"Good morning, princess," my dad wished as he entered my room.
"Morning dad"
"What happened to your phone, princess? I tried to call you yesterday, but it was unreachable," dad asked.
"Dad, wow, I broke my phone," I said, pointing towards my broken phone.
"It's ok, princess, I'll gift you a new one." I didn't say anything and went inside the washroom to freshen up.

Samaira and her parents went to the wedding venue.
She stepped inside and started looking for Veer. Her mood wasn't good at all.
She found him standing there talking with someone. She was about to walk towards him, but her blood boiled seeing Soha there with him.
Even though he is talking and laughing with her...
She stood silently beside Alina just then Veer came and dragged her to the corner. She was startled by his sudden gesture.
"Hi, wifey," he wished her, huskily grabbing her by her waist and pinning her to the wall. She didn't say anything and looked down.
"What happened?" he asked, caressing her cheeks.
"Nothing," she replied.
"Why you didn't come last night?" she asked him.
"Woh baby, actually na, I was bit drunk that's why," she nodded.
"What happened?" he asked.
(What happened to this pretty face today?)
"Kuch nahi," she replied.
(Nothing)
"Why were you talking with Soha?" she asked.
"Arre bas aise hi," she nodded...
(Nothing, it's only like that.)
Veer's pov..
Something has happened to her to explain why she is behaving like this.
"Where is your old phone?" I asked, seeing the new phone in her hand.
"I broke my phone the previous night, so dad, give me a new one," she replied.
"Why did you break your phone?" I asked suspiciously.
"Galti se hua," she replied...
(It's by mistake.)
Then my mom called me. I pecked her lips and went to my mom.

Sam's pov..
I was talking with some guests, and then Soha came.
"Hiii Samaira," I didn't reply and turned to leave.
"Just a minute," she said, and I stopped.
"You know what Samaira's previous night was like and we all enjoyed the party very much, see this," she told me as she showed me some photos of her dancing with Veer and Karan Jiju.
"You know I confessed that I love him, but he told me that he can't love me back because he is bound to you in a forceful marriage." No, he can't say this. This marriage was forceful, but he loves me. Yes, he loves me.
"He is just waiting for your birthday," she said.
I didn't say anything and ran out of the venue, wiping my tears.
I heard Veer calling me from behind, but I didn't stop; I told my driver to drop me off at home.
I stepped out of the car and ran inside my room, where I cried, sitting on the floor. "No, no, no, he is mine.. he loves me only.. he can't leave me.. I will die without him.. He is my everything." Aayiappa, please don't do this with me. I will die.
Veer's pov..
I ran behind her. "Samaira, wait!" I shouted, but she didn't reply and sat inside her car.
I followed her car, which stopped at the Mehta Mansion.
"Samaira Samaira!" I shouted, stepping inside the mansion.
I climbed the stairs and went inside her room and found her sitting in the corner of the room, hugging her knees...
I walked towards her and heard her murmuring something.
"Sam" called her, placing my hand on her hair, and she looked up, then I was in her disbelief state... she was crying very badly.
I sat beside her and asked, "What happened, baby?" I couldn't see tears in her eyes.
She didn't say anything and hugged me tightly and cried. I rubbed her back to calm her down. "You don't love me," she said in between the hugs, and I was shocked.
"Hey Samaira "Why are you saying like this?" I said, breaking the hug and wiping her tears, which were flowing continuously.
I picked her up in my arms, made her sit on the bed, and gave her a glass of water.
"You don't love me. This marriage is just a burden for you. I am just a kid for you." Why is she saying this?
"I am not beautiful, I am just a kid, an immature girl for you.. Soha is beautiful, she proposed to you the previous night," she said in between her sobs.
"You don't love me. You are waiting for my 21st birthday, na, so that you can divorce me."
"Samaira aisa nahi kisne bola tumko yeh sab," I said, cupping her cheeks.
(Samaira (It's not like that; who said this to you?)
She jerked my hands and replied, "They all took me away from you. They all took me away from you. No, no, this can't be happening." I tried to stop her, but she was blabbering shite in tears.
She held my hand and looked into my eyes and said, "Will you leave me, Veer?" Please don't do this.. you are my everything. Veer adat ho meri tum.. I can't leave without you... Mar jaungi main, "her vulnerable state is breaking me.... She is behaving like a mad girl.
(I will die.)
"Veer, please don't leave me. I am begging you. I can do anything for you. Please don't leave me. Veer, I will die. "I can't take this anymore, and I pressed my palm against her mouth to stop her.
"Shut up, just shut up, Samaira Veer Singhania, I am not leaving you. Get that straight in your not so working mind." I shouted. She looked at me, palming her cheeks, and then hugged me tightly and cried. I wrapped my arms around her and stayed in that position.
"Now tell me what happened," I asked, breaking the hug, and she told me everything—what Daadi Mom and Soha said to her.
"This means you don't trust me," I said.
"Nahi nahi, I trust you, I trust you," she replied.
"Then why do you believe them?" I asked sternly.
"I didn't believe them, but I was scared," she replied in tears.
"Why were you scared, huh?" I asked, wiping her tears.
"I was scared, Veer, and I am also scared now, mujhe darr hai; that's kuch bura hogaya toh," she said.
(What if something bad happened?)
"Ssshh, nothing will happen, baby, i am here," I said, caressing her hair.
"You pressed your palm so tightly my face hurt," she pouted, caressing her red cheek. "Now I am feeling guilty."
"Sorry, baby, but that was needed because you were saying all the shite and I was finding the way to stop you," I replied, caressing her cheek...
"Accha, you will not leave me alone," she asked me.
"Kabhi nahi.. I will not leave you ever," I replied, and kissed her forehead.
Kabhi nahi = "Never"
"Accha, if you want, then you can slap me," I said, pointing towards my cheek. She nodded, and my eyes widened. She actually wants to slap me.
"Ok," I replied, and she raised her hand and I closed my eyes. And then I found something soft in my cheeks. Oh, it's her lips. I opened my eyes and looked at her with wide eyes, and she giggled.
"Ek aur thappad maaru," I asked.
Should I slap you again?
"What for?" she asked like a scared kitten.
"Because after that you will kiss me once again, na," I laughed, and she pouted grumpily.
"I love you, Chota," I said and hugged her.
