And trouble's gonna follow where I go.

Janvi's Pov

As we descended the stairs. I was laughing because Kartik was teasing Mahira over silly things to lighten up her mood. She was very nervous to meet the groom actually she didn't even wanted to meet him.

"Our to be bhabhi is here." I suddenly heard Shreya Di's voice.

I looked up curiously at her. She was surprised as much as I was. What is she doing here, I thought to myself but I shrugged my thoughts and thought to ask her about it after this meet. Shreya Di is my elder brother's girlfriend and I have met her twice as she came for festivities. She is really a sweet soul.

My eyes moved to the guy who was awe struck looking at Mahira. I guess he was none other than my to be Jiju. I smiled looking at him. As we moved to the last stairs my eyes wandered around  to look at everyone. I saw his mom and his dad looking at me. I was shocked to know they were here. They were too completely shocked to see me. I closed my eyes and wished to not see him here. I prayed to god as I didn't want to see him at all.

But as soon as I saw him, my heart sank. His green eyes were stuck on me demanding my attention. I looked into his eyes and I could feel nothing but immense pain. I could tell we were having thousands of thoughts in just one second. My vision started to blur because of the tears which were forming in my eyes. I looked away to avoid those feelings as I knew looking at him would make me weak and this version of Janvi Singhania was anything but weak. My chain of thoughts broke when, Mahi's Dad started to introduce.

"She is my daughter, Mahira." Everyone smiled and greeted her and she greeted them back.

I didn't even realised when she went and sat in the sitting area and Kartik came and stood beside me.

"I am Kartik Piramal, Mahi's brother and she is my Chiku." I nudged my elbow in his stomach to take that nickname back.

He cleared his throat and said " She is Mahi Di's best friend, Janvi Singhania."

Kartik kept his one hand around my shoulder in a friendly manner. I looked at Kartik and then at everyone and smiled at them. I greeted everyone. My eyes moved again at him he was sitting just beside our to be jiju. Me and Kartik just stood behind Mahi. Soon everyone from guys's side started introducing themselves.

"This is my grandson Abhimaan Rajput." His grandfather declared.

"And this my other grandson Sidhansh Singh Rathore." His grandfather declared again.

I moved my gaze to look towards him his eyes were darkened as he looked towards me. I didn't knew what was going on in his mind but he was definitely pissed at something. I knew him too well to decipher any kind of emotion just by looking into his eyes. His eyes bored holes into me as if wanting answers to my six years disappearance. I started feeling immense pain in my chest and I knew it was the panic attack building up inside me. After so many years I felt this kind of an immense pain. My eyes again blurred due to that night's memories. Feeling the rise of panic attack I ran upstairs not giving any explanation. I heard Kartik making an excuse about me leaving suddenly but I cared less.

I ran inside the room and fell on the carpet near the bed. I started crying my heart out to lessen the pain but nothing helped me. Soon I heard the door creak open. My back was facing the door so I couldn't see who was entering the room. I closed my eyes and wiped my tears. As soon as I opened my eyes I saw Kartik kneeling down in front of me.

"Are you okay Chiku ?" His words made my heart sank again and I couldn't help myself from crying my heart out.

"Kartik he is back. Sidhansh is back in my life. I can see hurt in his eyes for me Kartik. I didn't do anything wrong. It's just his rivals framed me." I said. I know Kartik didn't knew anything about us but he also won't question me anything about him. Until I myself want to tell him everything.

Kartik hugged me tightly and I let him do that as I knew a hug would help me cope up from this sudden panic attack. After a while I felt a bit relieved.

"Are you okay now ?" I nodded looking at him.

To make my mood lighter he said " Go wash your face, you look like a ghost."

I fake glared at him and walked in the bathroom. I washed my face and went downstairs with Kartik. Mahi looked at me questioning me about my sudden escape but I gave her an assuring look that nothing happened. I know she would question me about it after this meet.

Mahira's Pov

I went downstairs with Kartik and Janvi. I looked up only to find that grumpy man sitting there in his black suit looking oh so devilishly handsome. He was as shocked as I was but I sassily ignore him and sat beside my dad. Everyone introduced themselves when Janvi ran upstairs. I thought to go behind her when my brother interrupted. I thought to question her about it when this meet ends.

"I guess she forgot her phone. I will go help her find it out." Kartik said as if covering her sudden marathon towards the room.

Everyone nodded and my attention again diverted towards my to be husband, Mr. Abhimaan Rajput. 'Why god why would you do that you know right he doesn't like me then why would you set me up with him. We almost fight every time we meet. He would be the last person I would ever think of marrying.' My thoughts interrupted when my father asked us to talk in private.

'Eww no way I am going to marry this grumpy head. What if he just stabs me on our wedding night, no way. No wonder he looks handsome but I am not gonna risk my life.' I thought to myself.

Flashback

1 year ago

I was walking, no actually I was running towards the court room as Gargi was getting married suddenly in a court marriage with her long time boyfriend.

At first our girl's group was shocked to know that Gargi was dating as she was the most quiet one from our group.

As I moved towards their allotted room. I got hit by the wall. I steadied myself to look above me only to find a hot guy standing and I stood there lost in those beautiful brown eyes.

Suddenly he cleared his throat and I blushed a bit knowing that he caught me staring but his next words made me angry.

"Don't you have eyes. Why do you guys even move out of your house if you can't see." He shouted on me.

"Oh please grumpy uncle. I don't have time for you." I sassed back.

"I look like an uncle to you." I nodded to him and ran away.

I went in the room and met my to be Jiju. I was the only person present there from Gargi's side as the remaining girl gang was not in the country while her parents forced her for the marriage but she ran away from there and now is getting married to her high school sweetheart, Mr. Armaan Rajput. He is truly head over heels for Gargi and it is just so cute. After some time I came to know that the guy whom I just called an uncle was none other  than Armaan's elder brother. Mr. Abhimaan Rajput. I knew I screwed up for Gargi. I was going to apologise to him when my foot slipped and I fell on him causing the glass filled with water in my hand to fall on him. Making him drenched.

"Get up you are heavy." I heard him.

"Did you just called me fat?" I questioned him getting up.

"Oh god you talk too much." He again said provoking me to kill him then and there.

"Guys chill we are in court." Armaan Jiju and his family interrupted. He is such a sweet guy and look at his brother a complete jerk. The couple signed the marriage certificate while me and old man kept glaring at each other.

Flashback ends

We stood up and started walking towards the garden area. There were a few minutes of hesitation and silence when he said.

"I can't marry a trouble maker you know. I can't take any chance to make my perfect life a havoc again. Say no to your family." He said and sat on the garden chair.

I just glared at him and said "Why don't you say that to them."

"Can't you listen to me just once?" He questioned me.

I just rolled my eyes and said to him "I can't deny to this marriage as my father has put forward some conditions."

"I don't care about it just say no to this marriage."

"Why don't you do the honours?" I mocked him.

He looked at me frustratedly and walked inside. I too walked behind him matching his footsteps almost tripping.
