AT MALHOTRA MANSION
IN VEER'S STUDY ROOM
The low hum of the AC filled the room. Veer Malhotra sat behind his mahogany desk, staring at the wedding invitation his mother had left behind earlier that day.
Gold letters,Crimson borders.
Veer Rudra Malhotra weds Kavya Mehra.
Veer Malhotra (ML)
(he scoffed) "what a joke, marriage,love and forever."
All just words,Illusions dressed in tradition and fairy lights.
He poured himself a glass of whiskey and leaned back in the chair, shirt sleeves rolled up, jaw tight.
The door clicked open.
Anjali Malhotra peeked in, her soft smile barely hiding the nerves in her eyes.
Anjali Malhotra (ml mother)
"can I come in beta?"
Veer Malhotra (ML)
(he looked at the door and said softly) "yes maa."
she sat on his bed and asked him to sit with her for few minutes, he got up from his desk and sat beside her
Veer Malhotra (ML)
What happened ma?
Anjali Malhotra (ml mother)
(She looked at him, her eyes softening) "i know beta, u don't want to marry but atleast give chance to kavya."
Veer Malhotra (ML)
"maa u know n, i don't believe in love, love is not for me I will surely respect her and treat her as my wife but pls don't expect me to love her."
Anjali Malhotra (ml mother)
(she sighed) beta atleast try this marriage for me, i know she will change u,i Just want u too be Happy.
Anjali Malhotra (ml mother)
She will keep u happy beta
Veer Malhotra (ML)
okay maa😊
then her mother went back downstairs after talking with him after few minutes , his father came without permission
Rudra Malhotra (ml father)
You're getting married in two days. Atleast speak to me properly I'm ur father
Rudra Malhotra (ml father)
This marriage is for your benefit only
Veer Malhotra (ML)
it's for ur benifit not for mee
Rudra Malhotra (ml father)
just do this marriage and have kids, just like me and your mother it's best for u.
Veer Malhotra (ML)
Best for me and really don't bring my mother in this
Rudra Malhotra (ml father)
(Rudras jaw tightened)
Veer Malhotra (ML)
She gave up her career, her identity, her happiness for you. And what did you give her? Loneliness and fake respect.
Veer Malhotra (ML)
I'm doing this marriage just for her so for god's sake ho out of my room
The room felt quiet again..his father went back
Downstairs, in the sunlit sitting room, Anjali Malhotra gently ran her fingers over the folded sherwani meant for Veer. She smiled softly
Anjali Malhotra (ml mother)
He says he doesn’t believe in love,b ut I’ve seen the look in his eyes when he thinks no one’s watching. He just… doesn’t want to be broken like me. He wants love
Anjali Malhotra (ml mother)
Maybe Kavya can fix him. She’s so lively,bold, Maybe she’ll make him smile again.
She thought and placed that sherwani carefully and went for making dinner.
