Marriage arrangement

Will Ms. Mega want to marry Brother Neil in such condition?" Arik very much wanted to know the answer.

"If he… doesn't remember, why will he marry me? Won't…I be a burden to him?" Mega had lowered her head.

"Even if he doesn't remember, he has a vague felling that he was very close with someone. He is conflicted but doesn't want you and the child to suffer. He had left some clues before the incident so we have reached to rescue you. Won't you give him a chance?" Arik was good at negotiating by emotional blackmail.

"But…but–" Mega was conflicted too.

"Ms. Mega as an outsider, I want to give some suggestion. Would you like to listen?" Arik had a plan in mind.

""Ye..ss"

"Marry Brother Neil even if he doesn't remember you now. In that way the child will have father and you will have a place to stay. In the eyes of an outsider act as a couple but in private you guys may live separate too…Sigh…give big brother some time; if someday he regains his memory and knows he hasn't taken the responsibility, he will regret all his life. You don't want to give a chance for him to regret later, would you? Who knows he may regain his memory soon…" Arik tried to give hope to Mega.

"But—"

"Ms. Mega don't think more. I need your answer so that I can deliver the news to him. Your answer will decide the meeting between you two."

After a brief moment of silent, "Is it possible that…that he won't meet if I reject?" Mega asked in a quivering voice.

"Maybe"

Closing her her and bitting her lips, Mega was in deep thought. Two minutes later when she opened her eyes her eyes were filled with determination, "Okay, I agree to marry him."

It is true that people are emotional fool and someone may blackmail using their strongest emotions and still they have no choice to reject it.

Getting the answer that he wanted Arik walked away. He didn't return back to the living room but walked all the way to Neil's ward. Taking a deep breath on the door outside, Arik entered the room. He had made his mind so he couldn't turn back anymore.

Walking towards the bed, he hold the comatose man's hand and got seated.

"Big brother, Shikhar has suggested me a plan. I don't know if I am doing right or wrong but I also think that will be the only way to take care of your love. Plus you are going to a father. I don't want to give a chance for you to regret it in future...

Sorry, without your permission I am going to impersonate as you. You will be the one to get married to her but I will help you to take care. Don't worry Mega will be my sister-in-law forever. Maybe I won't visit you regularly as I will be busy. Brother, wake up soon."

Talking for ten-twenty minutes, Arik met Shikar in the living room.

"Brother Shikhar, I will go with your plan. I can't stay patience with those bastards. Who knows what disater may they create.." Arik spoke while igniting a cigar.

Shikar was studying some reports. Hearing Arik words, he stopped whatever he was doing, "It seems you have made your mind. Okay, then first let's settle the thing with Mega before moving to acquire the position."

Arik smirked.

As the result of discussion, first the marriage between Neil and Mega was arranged. As Mega was still unwell, her signature and household identity was collected and Shikhar handled other marital process. Legally, Mega was married to Neil but as Mega wasn't informed of Neil's comatose condition, Arik will act as Neil. That was the reason why Arik had a talk with Mega. Both brother decided to hide the condition from Mega as they thought it was the right move.

After that Arik impersonates as Neil. A skin mask was used to make the appearance same as Neil, the physical appearance were similar from before and the voice, Arik could impersonate it as well. In their younger days they did that for entertainment but now it turned to be useful. With the marriage certificate Arik entered Mega's ward.

Mega eyes were shining and filled with emotions seeing Neil's face.She wanted to stand and rush forward to hug.

"Ahem, don't move. It's not good for you. Sorry, I couldn't visit you before. Arik has already spoken you about my condition so I wish you will abide by it. I forbid physical contact unless it is necessary. Maybe you will feel uncomfort and hurt by my behaviour but I promise I will try to treat you well. I can't treat you as my wife for now. You will wait until I regain my memory, won't you?" Arik hated physical contact with strangers plus he can't act as a husband to his sister-in-law.

"I…I understand. I will try to control my…self. Beside losing memory…are…are you all right?" Mega spoke in a sweet voice.

"I am all right, don't worry. Take care of yourself and our child. Here is the marriage certificate. From today onwards, you are wife of Neil. As you are not in good health, I am planning to leave you in brother Shikar's care. You won't mind, will you?" Arik tried to sound formal and polite as he could.

"Why…why can't you take me with you?" Mega's eyes were turning misty.

"Hey, don't overthink. Maybe you don't know as the news haven't been leaked but my father is no more. I have to overtake his responsibility plus mine. Beside that Grasal City isn't peaceful anymore, I will be extremely busy so I may not have time for you. In additional, your health is top priority. Being a doctor, Shikar can take care of you well." Arik tried to make her stay.

"Sorry, I didn't know that about your father. Okay, I will stay here. Umm…can I call you sometime when I miss you?" Mega asked in a low voice.

"Sure. Shikar will arrange everything for you. I will call you when I am free too. Take this place as your own home." Smiling Arik left the room.

Uff…it was so difficult to act lovely dovely and polite.

The first thing was settled. Now, it was necessary to move to the next step.

The announcement of Neil being alive and fine was to be spread. But before that...
