No Choice: You Were Always Mine

There were people chattering at the venue, everyone was catching up on what happened in the years that passed by.

"Should we make a dramatic entrance to ensure that everyone notices us?" Kaira asked, her need for drama going on overdrive as there would be an audience.

"Maybe, it's a bad idea but we're here to have fun and conquer all… Man that sounds cheesy." Samaiya laughed at her own behaviour, it was as though they were going for war. They were the leading generals that needed to show their strength by flamboyancy, which could be taken as an insult.

"True, let us just be above all and behave normal. Though I do understand the difficulty in normal." Kaira started to ramble.

"Please, can we just enter it starting to get cold my back is about to freeze this outfit isn't exactly warm."

"True, let's go."

Kaira and Samaiya entered the place, it was a conference hall which was booked with a buffet lined with good food. This caught both girls' attention but keeping in mind that with a Saree you can see the stomach growing, as a person over eats, they decided they would everything just in smaller portions.

The girls started mingling with old colleagues, both of them never leaving each other's side. They thought they could avoid a specific person. But it is very hard to avoid some one that was charging towards them.

"Oh kay, I just saw Anamika walking towards us, shit I just made eye contact." Kaira let out a frustrated sigh, she was the one person they did not want to face.

"Great, I thought today I could have fun and fix everything with Ishaan, but it looks like the biggest obstacle is coming our way with minions and a poor guy in toll." Samaiya said with a smile, controlling her facial muscles, which by reflex were in a permanent frown.

Kaira snickered at Samaiya's whispered words before Kaira could add to Samaiya's words a shrill voice was heard.

"SAMAIYA, KAIRA, you're here! I never thought I would you see you two, is life treating you well?" Anamika started with the passive aggressive showdown that was about to go down.

"Everything is well, but I feel my ears aren't living with how loud you called our names. I never thought you missed us so much, sadly I can't say the same." Kaira said, slowly removing her imaginary gloves in her mind.

"Ha-ha you are so funny as always. ANYWAY, this is my boyfriend. He is a CEO of a well-known company." Anamika went on about herself, but Kaira was quick to shift the conversation.

"Ahh will you guys get married? Sorry but what was his name again, I forgot."

"Yes, we actually are thinking about marriage, but we want to go slow with our relationship, so we are not engaged. His name… Dear you should be the one introducing yourself." Anamika completely forgot the name of the person standing beside her.

"No need I'm not actually interested. Were you able to get into college?" Kaira went on attack again. The best defence was offence, with those well said words, Kaira did not give Anamika a chance to even breathe.

"Yes, I did. I went to very prestigious college, but you wouldn't know. It isn't a place where people like you could enter." Anamika tried throwing a punch at Kaira about her coming from a poor background.

This punch was easily dodged by Kaira as she never felt ashamed or embarrassed about her upbringing, she was still able to become a successful pilot.

"Of course, I went to a college that saw merit and not money." Kaira replied curtly, removing all niceties.

As Kaira was destroying Anamika in the ring, Samaiya was standing quietly at the side. She had no time to waste on Anamika, at least for today, she had bigger plans which needed to fulfil.

Anamika noticed Samaiya paying zero attention, she did not seem to care on what was happening right now. Seeing Samaiya's calm face fuelled Anamika's anger which made her throw her passive aggressive comments towards Samaiya.

"How are you doing Samaiya?" Anamika said, she had a sweet smile on her but if one looked carefully they would see the hate in her eyes.

"Fine." Samaiya did not have the patience to deal with the arrogant girl standing in front of her.

This annoyed Anamika further, sadly before she could start unleashing her fury Samaiya started walking away from her.

Samaiya spotted the man she was looking for tonight. He was wearing a semi-formal turquoise shirt with a pair of dark pants. For some reason Samaiya felt he looked exceptionally handsome today. She started to walk towards him for some unknown reason she kept increasing her pace with a beaming smile, which gave her an angelic aura for the other people in the room, with one exception. A woman with heavy make-up, her foundation starting to crack from the person's contorted face.

Samaiya saw Ishaan walking towards which made her even happier just as they were reaching each other, she spoke up to greet him.

"Hi Ishaan…" She didn't finish her greeting as Ishaan crossed her without giving her a second glance.

Ishaan saw the woman rushing towards him with a huge smile on her face, this surprised him, but he quickly recovered. She was beautiful, he was getting lost in his thoughts on ensuring that every living being knew that she was already taken.

Suddenly the previous day's incidents flooded his thoughts and his warm face became much colder. Ishaan had a sly look on his face whish his group of his friends noticed. 'Looks like sister-in-law will be facing a few difficulties', they all thought. Ishaan's friends said a prayer for Samaiya to win, they really liked Samaiya as she was a really nice person.

Ishaan walked towards the drinks area, he had to resist the urge to pull Samaiya away and beg her to stay with him. He sighed at his whipped behaviour, wondering how much control Samaiya unknowingly had on him.

Even though Ishaan had ignored Samaiya, she was determined to win his heart. She would not step back this time, she decided to be a little selfish and pursue her own happiness.

An annoying shrill voice interrupted her thoughts with one word, "S.l.u.t!"

Samaiya whirled around to face the person who she ignored as a favour towards her.

"You never learn your lesson, do you?" Anamika looked at Samaiya with eyes filled with disgust.

"What did you say?" Samaiya said with clenched teeth.

"You are nothing to him, you believe that you are special, but you aren't, you're just another girl that he can play with. So, understand your position, you ugly s.l.u.t." Anamkia replied with a very ugly tone.

She was about to slap Samaiya across the face when she was stopped by two hands.

Ishaan saw the whispered conflict between the two girls across the room. He decided he wouldn't interfere with whatever was happening as it was Samaiya's business and he was confident that she could handle it.

He saw the sad expression that crossed across Samaiya's face he decided that there wasn't a requirement to tease the girl. He walked towards her overhearing some of the conversation that passed between the two woman. Then he saw a hand coming down on his girl, on reflex he grabbed the hand and squeezed it.
