I still remember when i first met Preeti's family after two years. They are not happy to see me.

Flashback

No one knows where am i right now, not even Preeti. I am in Saharanpur for two days and collecting courage to face Preeti's family. I know they will be hell angry on me and why don't they, i broke a heart of their daughter.

I was standing in front of their gate and hell nervous now. I am having a second thoughts now whether to ring the bell or not. After lot of courage I ring the bell.

After few minutes Isha aunty opened the door. She is looking at me shockingly. I touched her feet for blessing. She put her hand on my head and blessed me After that she invited me in.

Nothing changed in two years. It looks same as i saw last time. The whole house looked so empty without her anklet sound and i really missed her to see here.

After some time Ramesh uncle also come and I touched his feet. He blessed me and we all three sit in a leaving room.

"Why are you here?" Ramesh uncle asked me curtly.

"I am here to ask your forgiveness." I said with a hope.

"There is nothing which we gave to you and also our standard is not match to the rich people like you." Ramesh uncle said cury.

"What are you talking Ramesh. Talk properly to him." Isha aunty said while putting her hand on her husband's hand.

"How could you say that Isha. This man broke our daughter's heart. She leaved far from us just because of him." Ramesh uncle said while looking at me angrily. I expected this.

"Please uncle give me a chance to explain things." I said calmly.

"Isha tell him to go from my house before I will do anything." Saying this Ramesh uncle got up from the sofa and leave from there.

After that day i try to talk to him but he is not ready to talk to me. All the time day or night i stood in front of their house with a hope they will forgive me and give me one more chance.

It's a third day that i was standing in front of their house near my car without food and water. I didn't move on my place, not even a inch. Every time isha aunty came to balcony, she looked at me with pity. She wanted to help me but Ramesh uncle didn't let her.

At night rain started pouring. It's already past midnight and rain is still pouring. I am whole drenched in water and my body is shivering slightly due to wet clothes.

After feel like eternity front door of house opened and Ramesh uncle came outside with umbrella in his hand.

"You mad boy. Are you planning to kill yourself?" Ramesh uncle said looking at me.

"I will not budge from here until you forgive me." I said.

"What will I do with this stubborn boy. Come let's go inside, otherwise you will catch fever." He said while Putting his hand on my shoulder and walked with me to inside the house.

Ramesh uncle make me sit on the chair and set inf ront of me. Isha aunty came with a towel and started rubbing my head.

I stood up from my seat and make Isha aunty to sit beside Ramesh uncle. I set down in front of them and took both their hands in mine.

"I know what mistake I did is not forgivable and I don't deserve your daughter's love but I can't live without her. Please forgive me " I said while joining my both hands in front of them. My vision getting blurry due to tears.

"Son, i know you love my daughter so much and i can't find a better groom for her than you. No one can stand whole day and night inf ront of our house without eating anything just to ask a forgiveness. No one can love my daughter like you do. We already forgive you but we are no one to forgive you. This right is only have Preeti. You are her culpit not ours. If she will forgive you, the day also we forgive you with whole heartedly." Ramesh uncle said and leave from there.

Flashback end.

Peep...peep.

Peep...peep

I came out from my thoughts with the sound of horn. A car is honking behind my car. Traffic got clear now and my car is blocking the path. I pulled the accelerator of the car and clear the path.

We reached saharanpur at noon. Today is the first exam of my love life if I will clear this i will come one step closer to Preeti. Today i decided to tell everything to Preeti's family why i broke the engagement with Preeti. Dad and mom wanted to be with me at this time so they come with me in India.

Isha aunty hug mom and they both sheds some tears. Ramesh uncle hand shaked with dad. I can say that Ramesh uncle is still angry. Shivani di hugged keerti lovingly like a elder sister.

Whole Agarwal family is present here. Preeti's cousins, jijus, uncles and aunts, everyone present here. I saw new member is added to the family. A girl is standing beside Aditya with all the symbols of married women and Aditya is holding her like his life is depends on her. They all welcomed us in the house.

We all are settled in a living room and Shivani di and shikha bhabhi served us snacks and tea. Whole house is filled with family member but it still looked empty to me without her. Everyone is present here but my eyes wanted see her only. I missed her so much. I wanted to hear her anklet's sound and wanted to play with her bangles.

"Ramesh ji i know we are late to asked for a forgiveness but i am here to ask my son's happiness." Dad broke the uncomfortable silence.

"Akhil ji i already told to Siddharth that we are no one to forgive. This right is only has Preeti because she was the one whose heart break." Ramesh uncle said.

"You have every right to get angry on us but the situation we faced two years ago i can't make Preeti, daughter in law of our house even if i wanted to and Sid is the only one who faced worst among all of us." Dad said.
