STRIVING FOR HAPPINESS

Sandhya was a very cheerful girl. She was a 2nd year MBBS student. A scholar and hardworking . Being a forensic expert it's her dream.

" Wow ! Sandhya . You did well today. "

He was her professor , forensic medicine subject, who praised and appreciated her.

"Thank you sir." She answered and left the college with her friends..

" Sannu. Let's party. Today you did well and also you always help us with notes so. We give you a party. Her best friend Astha invited her.

" Sorry, I can't. You know my Mummy-Papa does not allow me. So , After finishing this semester u will treat you all at my house ok. " After saying this she bid them bye and went to her house .

When she reached home she saw one Audi car parked near her house gate. She was astonished. She was living in a remote area and the car-like Audi was really eye-catching and a point of gossip too.

She was in her thoughts and entered her house.

"Sannu, you are back. Come with me." Her mother suddenly came to her and dragged her to the bedroom. Sandhya noted some guests in her house.

In the bedroom,

" Sannu. Get ready . And why are you so late ? They are waiting for you. "

" Mummy who are they ? "

" They are here for you. It's a marriage proposal. "

Before Sandhya could ask or react, the bedroom door knocked. Her mother opened the door. She was shocked and surprised both.

" Why...!? Ah . She is ready in just two minutes. "

" It's ok! Madam. Shall I talk to her now ? I am getting late."

Sandhya 's mother saw her and then the man who was standing at the edge of the door. She smiled nervously and left the room.

After leaving the room she closed the door politely and went to the living room.

In the bedroom.

" Hi ! I am. " Before he could finish his sentence for his own introduction .

Sandhya interrupted gently " Dr. Vikash Nair. The famous neurosurgeon and miracle hospital owner. Hello sir.."

He smiled and set to bed. " Ok. If you know me then we can talk easily. "

" Go ahead sir. I am listening."

" Here I and my family come for a special reason. My parents chose you for my 2nd wife. From my 1st marriage I have one girl who is 3years old. When her mother delivered her she died. She was my first and last love.. mom dad constantly forced me for 2nd marriage and finally I was convinced. So , I am not forcing you but we can help each other.

My daughter needs a mother and your younger brother needs a new heart. I found a donor in New Zealand. If we marry , I will arrange all formality for your brothers Operation , visa and tickets. "

She was dazed by his words. For the first time she found her brother' s heart problem. She was a medical student so she had a proper life and how it's risky and also costly too. It's too hard to find a suitable donor for a heart transplant.

Without thinking more she replied "Ok. Done. I will marry you."

DR.Vikash frowned by her quick answer. He wanted to say something more to give her pressure and scare so she could refuse the proposal but before he could she said "So I have to stop my study too. My dreams are too right."

Dr. Vikash stood up from the bed and stubbornly saw her. First he scored her expression and eyes and then replied " Yes. You have to. "

In two months they met hardly three or four times but Sandhya's behaviour towards his daughter was so sweet and caring. This thing was enough for him . Even she easily mixed with his family members .

In two months he also got feelings for her. After his 1st wife 's death he never thought he would fall for anyone but Sandhya proved him wrong . Somewhere deep in his heart he is also eagerly waiting for his marriage. To make Sandhya his own.

Meanwhile Sandhya was upset because her parents hid her brother 's illness and also about this marriage proposal. Because of this compromise she not only left her studies and dream but also her love too.

After two months they both got married. And Sandhya became a woman from a girl.

She was just 20 years old when she took her responsibilities as a wife , as a mother , as daughter-in-law and also as eldest mistress of the Nair house.

Though that was their first night she didn't forget her responsibility toward her step daughter. First she helped her to sleep and then moved to her room. Her step daughter and her relationship became so strong in those two months. And now she is married so she has to work hard to accept the reality and prove herself that she is the best choice to be her mother. Not step mother bit being her actual mother.

When she entered in her and Dr. Vikash's room she found that Vikash was waiting for her. He was staring at the gift box which he held in his hand .

" Sorry. I...I am late." She said with some hesitation.

Vikash moved to her and held her hand. It's really unexpected for her. Before marriage he told her that this marriage is just for his daughter but now.

He helped her to sit on bed. He opened the gift box and took out two diamond bangles. He placed those bangles to her wrist and knelt down in front of her ..

He looked into her eyes lovingly and said, " You stole my heart. " With that he sealed her lips by his.

It's a beautiful start to a compromise marriage.
