My Stubborn Love.

Chapter 63

Manik's POV

" Viren, can I... I mean... I need to talk to Myra for five minutes. "  I said hesitantly.

"   What? But why? She will be here in just 5 minutes."  He said with a teasing smile.

" Viren, try to understand... we are getting engaged right now, and haven't got a single chance to talk to each other, please let me talk to her, I really need to talk to her. "  I said.

" I understand, your desperation to meet her but, don't get so romantic with her. After all, she is my sister, I might lose my mind again. Sorry, I can't help it... it will take some time to adjust to the fact that you are getting married to her. Till then behave properly in front of me. " He said and laughed.

" I won't do anything that you don't approve of, you can stay there, I just want to hear from her that she wants this," I said. 

" Do you think, my parents and I would have forced her to get engaged or married to you? This all would never have been arranged if Myra had not given her consent. Anyway,  now it is too late as she might be surrounded by so many people. I can't arrange it now or I would have to explain to my mom and aunts that you want to meet her and then they will either scold me or tease you like hell. Ok, let me go and see the arrangements with Sujal, after all, it's our sister's engagement.  "  He said and left after hugging me again.

I didn't know what to do, so I excused myself and went to the restroom but Shlok followed me.

" What are you going to do now?? "  Shlok asked.

" I don't know... I don't want this to happen but I can't ruin this friendship between our parents and between all of us. I was lost without all of my friends in my life and felt that I spoilt everything between all of us. It hurt me so much when they didn't talk to me for a week. I can't do the same with my Chachu, his friends means a lot to him. Imagine how would they feel if I say that I don't want to get married to Myra, she is their princess. Everyone would get upset with me and my family. Chachu would not be able to face his friends and I would not be able to face mine.  Even my family would disown me." I said.

" But what about you?? And Roshni? "  Shlok asked.

" Tell me what do I do?? If I get engaged to her, only Roshni and I would suffer but if I refuse to do it, so many people and their relationships would suffer. And don't forget that Myra was my girlfriend. That means, we wanted to be together earlier, so if she has really got some feelings for me, wouldn't it hurt her too? I was in a relationship with her,  she was my girlfriend, and I have a responsibility toward her too. " I said though my heart was breaking in saying that.

" But you don't want to do this. Talk to your family once and let them decide. I am sure they would understand and make others also understand it. " Shlok said.

" What would you have done in such a situation? Weight them on two sides of a beam balance and see if you would have hurt so many loved ones and take a risk of spoiling the friendship between our parents and even between all of us.  Or you would have hurt yourself. As it is there is no future for my relationship with Roshni. " I said but I was not convinced with what I said.

" How can you decide on her part? Talk to her. She has a right to know. " He argued.

" I have always told her that we were not meant for each other. So she might not get hurt so much as she is being very mature these days and started accepting that I am with Myra, I will let her think that. I will find a nice man for her, as it is, she is too young for me. "  I said as if I was trying to convince myself.

" Don't act like that fox who walks away saying that the grapes are sour. I can see, you want Roshni. " He said.

" Hell, I don't know what I want, even if I know now, I can't help it. I just can't hurt so many people. If I do what I want, it would break the hearts of so many people. It's better that I hurt myself and... I will make it up to her by finding a very good decent guy for her. " I said with a lot of difficulties.
