"The Heirs of Ruin and Romance"
Episode 2
After the usual family introductions and formal talks, our parents thought it would be good to leave us alone.
Samaira Bhalla
Ishira, take him to the garden. It's peaceful there.
I simply nodded and led Shivansh outside. The garden was quiet, just the sound of wind brushing against the leaves.
Ishira Bhalla
So... how are you doing?
Shivansh Mehra
Hmm… good.(still in his phone)
Ishira Bhalla
Okay… so, I’ve never been in a relationship before. Just saying.
Shivansh Mehra
Hm. (barely looking up)
Ishira Bhalla
What about you?
Shivansh Mehra
I Don’t have time for all this.
He finally locked his phone and looked at me for the first time properly.
Shivansh Mehra
Let’s cut the crap. Ishira, do you want to marry me?
His words hit me like a wave. Direct. No filter. No buildup.
Ishira Bhalla
Wha– what do you mean?(nervously)
Shivansh Mehra
Look… I’m not interested in marriage. But my mom is constantly on my back. I’m done with all the bio-datas and rishtas.
Ishira Bhalla
So you just want to marry me so your family stops bothering you?
Shivansh Mehra
No, it’s not just that. We know each other. I’d rather marry someone familiar than a complete stranger. That’s all.
I Paused for a moment.
And then smiled a little.
Ishira Bhalla
Fine. Let’s do it.
He already knew i liked him since college and his family is good so yeah why not
Turns out, both families were so happy with our decision…
They decided to get us engaged right away. Like… today
The living room was beautifully decorated. Mom had already called Pandit Ji for the rituals.
Shivansh’s mom came up to me with a shagun ki chunni and gently placed it over my head.
Aparna Mehra
Welcome to the family, beta.
I smiled shyly. Kiara came to my side, smirking as always.
Kiara Mehra
Look at our dulhan… already blushing.
Karan Mehra
Bhai, I never thought I’d live to see this day. YOU getting engaged. What happened to ‘Mujhe shaadi mein interest nahi hai’?
Shivansh Mehra
Shut up, Karan.(rolling his eyes)
We exchanged rings. Cameras flashed. Family clapped. And somewhere inside me…
I didn’t know what this was turning into.
But I had said yes.
And so had he.
After engagement ceremony was done me and Shivansh took everyone's blessings
Samaira Bhalla
Pandit ji, please check their kundlis and tell us the next shubh muhurat for the wedding.
Priest
Their stars align well… but there's only one auspicious date—three days from now.
After that, there won’t be any muhurat for almost two years.
Everyone looked around the room—shocked, surprised, a little breathless.Three days? That soon?
I looked up at Shivansh, and he was just calmly sipping tea like nothing major had happened.
Meanwhile, I felt my entire world do a backflip.
Before anyone could protest…
Aparna Mehra
Then it’s settled. The wedding will happen in three days. Our daughter-in-law is coming home!(excited,)
Kiara Mehra
Bhaiya, better wrap up all your office work quickly! Your dulhan is coming home soon (grinning)
Karan Mehra
And here I thought Shivansh bhaiya would be the last one to get married. Look at you now!(teasing)
Kritika Mehra
Uff, I already feel like dancing! Finally, we’ll hear wedding music in this house!(excited)
Aparna Mehra
I Always prayed for a sweet and graceful girl like you, Ishira. You’ve truly made me the happiest today.(bright smiling)
I just smiled. What else I could even do
Aditya Mehra
It feels like just yesterday when Shivansh took his first steps…And today, he’s taking the biggest step of his life.
I’m proud of the man he’s become.(proud)
Just like that… in the blink of an eye…Our marriage was fixed.
Everyone was congratulating one another—smiles, laughter, hugs, mithai, chaos…
And in the middle of all that—
Watching my future seal itself.
In three days…
I’d no longer be Ishira Malhotra.
I’d be Mrs. Ishira Mehra.
Ready or not, my life was about to change.
