Preeti's Point of view

He take a deep breath and sigh..

"Preeti..this wedding will not be going to take place. I don't want to marry you." He said..

Floor skipped under my feet. Fat tears escaping from my eyes like a river. I was so much shocked that I can't process what he just said. I was shocked to the core.

"Hello....Preeti...Are you there?" He asked me.

I was so shocked that I didn't realize he is calling me.

"I'm so sorry if I did something wrong to make you upset. I'm so sorry for that day when you snap out on me. I shouldn't call you that much. I should understand that you were busy." I said after coming out of my shock. I sobbed hard. Tears are constantly falling from my eyes.

"No, Preeti..it's not your fault." He said.

"Then tell me what suddenly happened. I'm so sorry for everything but please don't say this. You love me right then please forgive me last time. I will never hurt you again. Forgive me...please..please.." I begged to him between my sobbing.

"I told you it's not your fault. Please don't blame yourself. I just don't want to marry you." He said.

"Siddharth..if this is some kind of a joke please then stop it at this right instant. Please don't say such things." I said wiping my tears but fresh tears escape from my eyes immediately. I was wishing desperately that he is kidding with me.

"This is not a joke Preeti. I'm serious about this." He said seriously. Though I also didn't find any kind of teasing in his tone.

"Why are you saying such things. Why don't you want to marry me? Atleast give me a reason." I whispered still crying.

"There is other woman in my life." He said tiredly.

"No this is not true. I don't believe you. You are telling me a lie. You still love me." I said getting little angry on me.

"No, It's not a lie. I'm telling you truth. I don't love you anymore. I'm in love with other girl. She is one of my ex. When I met her again, I realized that I still love her." He said it all in a one breath after a little pause.

"..and you realize it just a week before our wedding. Now tell me
Mr. Siddharth Kapoor how am I going to tell my parents that the man they chose for me wanted to break an engagement because he is in love with someone else, not your daughter." I said angrily while wiping my tears but they didn't stop falling from my eyes.

"Don't worry about that Maa and dad will tell your parents about my decision." He said.

"Please Siddharth don't do this. I'm sorry I shouldn't have shout on you. I beg you please don't do this..please.." I said while breaking into a loud sob. I put my hand on my mouth to suppress my sob.

"Preeti please stop crying. You know that.. I really hate those tears in your eyes." He whispered.

"Then please don't do this to me. My parents will die in shame.. you just marry me. You can date any girl you love after marriage. I will never interfere in your life and will not say any word to anyone. But please marry me for my parents sake." I plead to him not to do this.

"Sorry Preeti I can't help in this. I can't marry you if I'm in love with someone else. I can't cheat on her. Please don't call me again and keerti." He said and after this he hung up.

I call him again but he cut my calls. I texted him also but he didn't reply. When I didn't stop calling him he put my number in block list.

I pull my both knees up to my chest and cried covering my face with my both palm. My life is turn up to down in just half an hour. The heaviness in my heart take over. I clutched my night crop top over my heart to suppress the heaviness but it gone all in waste.

Is this true he never love me. It just a affection for him towards me. Is all the promise he made were all false. All the lovely kisses which he gave me were all fake. I was crying like a mad person.

Now in which face I will tell mummy- papa about this. They will break into pieces. I always gave them sorrow and this is the biggest sorrow I gave them. I never made them happy and now I will become a burden to them. I always failed them. I'm a shallow for everyone.

Suddenly I heard a shouting from downstairs. I got up immediately and run to the downstairs.

When I came to the downstairs Shivani di call me in her highest peach. I saw a horror in her face. When my eyes fell into mummy horror take place in my eyes too.

Mummy is falling on the floor unconscious. Her head is on Shivani di's lap and she rubbing mummy's palm while papa was rubbing her toes.

"Preeti call the doctor fast." Shivani di said panicky.

I was looking at her dumbly. My whole body became numb. I can't process what is happening around me.

"Preeti...Preeti call the doctor fast. We don't have time." I came out from my shock when Papa called me again. Panic is clearly visible on their faces.

"Di, what happened to mummy why is she unconscious." I asked her while sitting beside her. My eyes welled up all in tears.

"Call the doctor fast. I'll tell you later." She said with a panic.

I nodded my head and got up immediately. I ran to upstairs to my room to take my phone. When I find my phone I called doctor immediately.

Doctor came after sometime and examine mummy.

"What happened doctor. Is my wife alright." Papa asked doctor when he came out the room after examine mummy.

"Don't worry she is alright now. She get a hypertension. Her blood pressure became higher suddenly. That's why she fainted. I gave her injection. Now She is out of danger. Just make sure she doesn't get any kind of stress. She will gain consciousness at morning." Doctor said.

"Give her these medicines. she will be fine soon." He said while giving a paper of prescription to papa.

"Di what happened. Why mummy suddenly got a high blood pressure." I asked di after doctor left.

Shivani di didn't say anything. She hugged me and started crying. I look at papa and I saw tears in his eyes first time in my life and I understand immediately that they know about the wedding. That time I just wanted to die.
