Is ishq ke kya kehne

Isne kitno ko abad kiya

Aur kitno ko barbad

Par is kambakkht ishq

Ne to Humara aisa haal

Kia ki Dil hi nahi zinda

Raha kisi se Ishq Karne ke liye

~Ankita Ghosh

(what should I say about love? It destroyed do many people and even made so many people but thus stupid love break me like that my heart isn't alive anymore to love someone)

Everything is going perfect. It's the biggest day of Khwaish and Ekansh's marriage.

"Khwaish I'm sure Ekansh will be drooling over you. Poor boy it will be tough for him to control himself," one of her friends said

"guys I'm his sister and I'm here please think before saying," Mishika said

"you all shut up and get me ready," Khwaish said and wore her jewellery

She has worn a golden lehenga and paired it with green and golden jewellery. It was looking good on her.

"yeah yeah you have to look perfect after all it's your wedding

And wedding come only once," her another friend said

"You all know everything so why bother her? Just shut up," Mishika hissed

She wasn't happy with the wedding. Her mind is screaming at her to stop it. She loves both of her cousins equally but Sanket has a little extra soft corner.

"Why are you in a snappy mood? Are you on your periods?" Khwaish asked her

"If you weren't my sister in law I would have give a good answer," Mishika said covering her mood

"come on girls it's time to take the bride, her groom is waiting," Ekansh's mother said and took khwaish with her

Khwaish was blushing like hell her cheeks were giving competition to Rose.

She saw Ekansh sitting in the mandap. (mandap is the place where hindu wedding take place)

She was seated beside him. Her eyes tried to find the familiar face among the guests but she didn't find him.

She tried to focus on the wedding. When the time came to take 7 rounds of fire she found Sanket in front of them.

She sighed in relief and gave him a smile.

He also smiled back towards her. The Wedding completed.

Khwaish was taken to her new room. The room is decorated for wedding night.

She was seated in the middle of the bed.

She was waiting for him but he didn't show up. It was past 3 am but he didn't come. Her eyes were burning due to lack of sleep. They were begging for rest.

She tried to call him but his phone was switched off. She tried to search him but he wasn't there.

At 4 am he came all worn out.

"Where were you? I was worried sick for you," Khwaish said

"Actually, I got an urgent call from the office as you know I'm working for our company. No one knows about it. I'm really sorry," Ekansh said and hugged her tight

She scolds herself for thinking bad about him.

"Khwaish it's 4 am we should sleep, I'm tired and I know you're as well I'm really sorry I should have informed you." Ekansh said to her

She nodded and slept as her body hit the bed.

She woke up when it was 11 am. She didn't sleep this late ever.

She saw that Ekansh is also sleeping, giving without any care to the world.

" Ekansh wakes up at 11 am in the morning and we are late." Khwaish said

"no worries they all know we are newly wed couple so it's ok," Ekansh mumbled in his sleep

"It's not good if you sleep, I'm going," Khwaish said and got ready.

She came out wearing a red Saree and saw Ekansh sitting on the bed fully awake and having a gift box in his hand.

"wow my wife you're looking beautiful. Here take your gift that I should have given you yesterday only." Ekansh said and give her a box

She opens it and finds a perfume.

"Why perfume? Any special reason?" Khwaish asked him

"yes perfume because you look like a flower and I want you to smell like one as well." Enaksh said and hold her from her waist

Khwaish was feeling shy but awkward as well. He is her husband yet she isn't liking his touch.

"what is wrong with you women? You're not liking your husband your love's touch?" she scold herself

"ohk I will use it every day,only for you," Khwaish said shyly

"Khwaish I want to tell you something," Ekansh said

"hmm" she hummed

"can we not get intimate for some time? Let us get comfortable. It's really awkward to be with your best friend as husband, I hope you understand that," Ekansh said nervously

"actually I was going to say it. We should get comfortable first, we have the whole life for those things," Khwaish said

After it khwaish applied the perfume it was really amazing but strong. She felt dizzy with the strong smell.

Ekansh came after taking shower. They both went downstairs together and all were looking at them in a teasing manner.

Khwaish was blushing knowing well what they were thinking.

"don't give us those looks. Whatever you all are thinking is not true. We were to much tired because of the wedding," Ekansh said bluntly

"Ekansh, you are married now think before talking," His mother scold him

They all did breakfast. Sanket wasn't there. Khwaish thought to ask Mishika but she wasn't even sparing her a single glance.

"where is Sanket ma?" Khwaish asked

"he is gone for work early, he didn't even ate his breakfast" Her mother in law said

"oh," Khwaish said

Time passed really fast. Sanket was doing his best to avoid khwaish. He will leave early but come late and if they talk he will just say hi and leave. In this time Mishika was behaving normally as she knew it was not going to change anything...

7 months passed away...

One day Khwaish was cooking but suddenly she felt her head spinning. She fainted in the kitchen.

Her mother in law and aunt in law called Sanket as he was only present there.

He carried her towards her room and called the doctor.

The doctor came and checked her.

"is she pregnant?" Her mother in law asked

"no I'm afraid it's not the case here

I need to have some taste in her. And if my assumption is right it is a really serious matter." the doctor replied

It makes all of them worried. Ekansh came back after hearing it he was tense and decided to be diagnosed by another doctor who is more good.

The report shocked them all. Khwaish has some disease that is not curable and very soon she will die.

All break down in tears after hearing it. Mostly Sanket and Ekansh were affected by it..

They were bawling their eyes out.

On the other hand khwaish was numb to this news. She never thought that her happiness won't long last. She wanted to be a mother. She thought she was pregnant because the symptoms were like pregnancy.

She was very broken.

2 months passed and her health was worsening.

"what will happen after khwaish to Ekansh? He is still young and so khwaish. Khwahish don't have long time left. Should we find another bride for him?" one of their relatives said

"what are you saying? Khwaish is our daughter. Maybe she is my daughter in law but she is no less my daughter. In her state now can you say it?" Her mother in law said angrily

They all were talking about khwaish. They weren't aware that Khwaish was listening to it.

She went to her room and thought about it. It's true that after her, what will happen to her Ekansh? Who will be his life partner?

She knows that still Ekansh like Laisha. He has confessed it that he loved Laisha but now he only loves her.

She thought about it. How selfish she can be. She won't live long and she doesn't want him to ruin his life for her.

She decides to meet Laisha. She asked Mishika to help her who is not ready to do it. After a lot of pleading she did help her.

Meeting with Laisha turned into a positive one. She told him that they loved each other but Ekansh broke up with her because of Khwaish. Now they both have moved on and she doesn't want to be in his life as her substitute.

Khwaish makes her understand talking about love and all. And finally she agreed.

Mishika didn't like whatever was happening. She loved Khwaish like an Elder sister.

She asked everyone to diagnose her again but Khwaish refused it.

Sanket has taken her to another doctor and she also told the same.

All paths were closed.

One day Khwaish told everyone she wanted Ekansh to remarry when she was alive. She wants him to be happy.

Ekansh was hell bent to not marry not after her or before her. He will stay with her memories. But Khwaish was stubborn; she stopped her medicines and forced him to marry Laisha.

She got divorce and then they got married.

*****

Khwaish was laying down in her bed. It was like she was living a nightmare.

The morning came but her tears didn't dry. She got up like a robot and did her morning business.

When she came out she saw Laisha in her place sitting with Ekansh. She smiled bitterly as she remembered her first day after marriage.

"good morning everyone, why are all of you silent? It's only a day Laisha has come and you all are behaving like I died. I still have few months don't worry to live," Khwaish jokes

"Khwaish, don't say like that." Ekansh said with a hurt expression

"I want to tell you all something," Sanket said

"what?" His mother asked

"I want to marry khwaish," Sanket says and all looked at him in shock
