"AUTHOU .......P.O.V...

"Isha," He whispered, looking out of the car window as it headed towards the Tridev temple where the wedding was held. A wave of emotions surged through him, causing him to close his eyes at the mere spell of her name.

Her tear-filled eyes and vulnerable expression appeared in front of him when he had fired the gun in the sky in anger. Well, he was just recalling, not regretting. His chain of thoughts broke with the sound of his phone ringing.

"Now what happened to him ?" He said looking at his phone screen with annoyed look then picked up , not before rolling his eyes

"Tell me you didn't forget today is your wedding, fucker," the person on the other end of the line said , seething in anger and He took a look at the time well He was barely an hour late . What is the problem

"Don't tell me you are already there bastard " He replied sharply ,ignoring his friend's word completely

"Forced by your Aunt as she had told at least someone should present for her dear Ekaksh " the other side person said in a mocking tone making him scoffed in annoyance

"Shut up Aviraj" He scoffed lazily putting his head on the headrest , It was really getting difficult for him to adjust with the fact He is getting married , bringing someone into his life But It was his mother wish and it need to be fulfilled

"Be here fast as everyone is waiting for you , the groom who is late on his own wedding day. Seriously fucker " Aviraj taunted and Ekaksh hung the call then relaxed himself even if his mind was full of chaos thinking about the future

"Ekaksh" Saarthak said, coming towards him down from the stairs of the temple after Ekaksh came out of the car . He just rolled his eyes at him , even the sight of his father frustrates him to core and the reason is purely horrible for him

"Its almost time , Please quickly get ready or else-

"Stop it. Believe me, I am in more of a hurry to finish this drama than you. Where is the room ? " He coldly asked with an unbothered look, making Saarthak sigh at his son's nonchalant behavior

He definitely felt guilty for forcing him into this. He knew that after this, his son would hate him even more, but to save her precious life, he was ready to endure his son's hatred. Well, it was nothing new for him; he had been enduring it since the day his wife left them alone in this world

"Come , I will show you" He said , gulping the pain and Ekaksh walked along with him followed by his guards . He looked around the temple and its was quite empty than usual day even it was decorated with lights and flowers

"Finally you are here" Aviraaj said coming out from a room towards him in hurry while Saarthak walked away from them to looked after the arrangements

"Did you meet her ?" Aviraaj asked with a small smirk making him scoffed and passed a cold glare but soon passed him a smirk and walked passed him

"Don't tell me honestly .You have tried to scare her right ? ?" Aviraaj asked in anguish from behind while both moved into a room and by many musing Aviraj made him blurred out about their first official meeting for marriage

"I did it to make sure she knows her place and what she will endure in the future if she disobeys me. Nobody can get away after disrespecting me," he said in a cold tone, while Aviraj clenched his fist, restraining the urge to punch him.

No, a punch mark would look like a hickey mark, and it wouldn't look good on the groom's face. Besides, there were only two of them in the room. What would others think? What was happening inside the room?

"Are you out of your mind ? Look Ekaksh she is really sensitive and a pure hearted girl -

" Do you know her? " Ekaksh snapped immediately , looking back at him

"I do. She's the same doctor who once operated on my Dada Sa, that's how I know her. Moreover, her scholarship was offered by us because she was a wonderful intern at Agnivanshi Hospital," he explained and by his surprise He looked interested in this topic , or better say in her topic

"She's like a sister to me, and I dare you to harm her in any way, Ekaksh," Aviraaj said, recalling their first meeting at the hospital

Her selfless and caring nature had impressed him from the start, and their bond had grown stronger when she became his Dada Sa's personal doctor for a month. But not even in his worst dream that the angel has such cruel destiny that it would bring the Monster in her fate as her Husband

"Ekaksh -

" I don't want to listen your rant , go away .I am getting late for this wedding drama" He said in a unbothered tone and moved inside the washroom

"I cannot believe I am getting into this shit .Just a matter of time , right ? " He said looking at his reflection in the mirror after wearing his wedding dress recalling the conversation between him and his father and his to be Father-in-in-law had before moving into this room

"Are you ready ? Pandit ji is asking for you ?" Aviraaj said coming into the room being the perfect groomsmen , Ekaksh ever has get

"Someone is also asking for you too " Ekaksh said with a smirk and faced him who slightly frowned at his words

"Who?" He asked coming towards him who was trying to drape a turban

"You leaved your phone here , and Someone named Rainbowwww was calling you continuously " He said showing his phone with a smugly look making him rushed and snatched his phone from his hold swiftly

"So it was really not raining that day " Ekaksh aske remembering that day when He heard this nickname for the first time which his friend covered up saying ' It was raining and a beautiful rainbow formed here '

"Focus on your wedding rather than checking others phone Ekaksh " Aviraaj snapped with mocking smirk , keeping his phone inside his pocket anf passed a cold look at him

"Are you two dating ? " Ekaksh asked directly without beating around the bushes , folding his hand and Aviraaj mentally scoffed

"Its none of your business " Aviraaj said nonchalantly moving towards the mirror

"Then it is definitely Katha Aunty business , since She is searching for your bride from a quite long time " He said taking out his phone and dialing a number , He knows how to take out answers from others , well coercion is his art

"Yes we are dating so what ?" Aviraaj immediately confirmed snatching his phone and gritting his teeth at his silly move

"But when did I said I will not tell her about your Rainbow " Ekaksh said with a smirk snatching back his phone making Aviraaj curse him in his mind , now it was really getting hard for him to not punch

"Then tell and get ready to see your To-be-Mrs reaction when I will tell her how she has managed to make you feels the things just in two meetings " Aviraaj played back , proudly folding his hands while Ekaksh halted between his action

"How, after coming back from Banaras, you used to call me after getting drunk and tell me how much that black-eyed girl was making you feel things that lightened up your chest. Hell! Now I am too curious to see her reaction after knowing how her husband used to cry like a baby with a rum bottle, telling me about her on a video call in the middle of the night," Aviraaj stated with a smirk.Ekaksh turned around, baffled. He knew he had screwed up after getting drunk a few times, but like a baby? That was new information for him too

" Even I have recorded your video call " Aviraaj said in a whispered tone and winked at him

"In no way you are telling her this," Ekaksh said angrily, storming towards him and pointing his finger. He cursed the day he got immensely drunk and blurted everything out in intoxication before him.

"And the same implement on you Ekaksh , the Lord of Dark realm " Aviraaj firmly said looking straight into his eyes who was coldly glaring at him , it was the war of stares to cover the beautiful truths of their life who happens to be the soul-sisters

"What the fuck are you boys doing here? Let's go, Panditji is calling Ekaksh " Saarthak said in rush , entering the room and seeing the two bulls who were having a intense glaring rivalry and it was obvious any time they are ready to end their life

" Nothing Uncle , He was asking for help to drape this , But I too don't know " Aviraaj said pointing at the cloth Ekaksh was holding while Ekaksh ignored their presence and went to the mirror

" He will not ask but He really needs your help " Aviraaj whispered to Saarthak in a low tone and walked out of the room to give them space

He knew the tension between the father and son, and it wouldn't be a lie to say he had tried every possible way to resolve their differences. But despite his efforts, their relationship always reverted to where it had started: hate. Ekaksh hated his father, and Saarthak, guilt-ridden, accepted this

" Kas aaj aap yaha hoti Sanvi Aunty " He whispered looking between them and closed the door without making any noise

"Let me help " Saarthak said and took the cloth from him , who didn't gave up after few protest

" Aapko pata hai ye hak kiska tha ? , Mr.Ranawat " Ekaksh asked looking at him cold eyes while Saarthak didn't dare to match his gaze , He still feel shame to do that

" Meri Bui ka " He whispered , gulping the pain which didn't spread on his face but his chest brusted with it while Saarthak gulped hard . He has failed as a Husband and a Brother both and his son is always here to make him remind this

" Kab tak naraz rahoge Ekaksh ?" He asked in a variable tone , finally matching his cold gaze

" Naraaz ? nafrat karta hu main aap se " He gritted with clenched jaw , glaring at him . Saarthak could feel the accusations through his gazes and He knows He deserve that

" Hope one day you will listen to me calmly , my side of story " He said with welled up eyes and Ekaksh looked away , rolling his eyes

" Do whatever you want to do before the given period and find that person who is a threat to her life because I definitely will not hesitate to throw her to you after the completion of the terms of the contract . Not for a single second she will be in the Dark realm with me . My mother's wish was to marry her , till when to keep this marriage it was never mentioned . So , you cannot even compel this time " He said , stand up from his sit after Saarthak draped the turban

"You don't have to worry. I, myself, will take her away after assuring her safety. After that, you will never have to see her," Saarthak said in a stern, determined tone. In no way did he want that pure soul to spend her life amidst the threats and cruelty of the dark realm

" Till then , at least be nice to her and don't hurt her . Or else what will be difference between you and me " Saarthak said triggering his anger and Ekaksh turned towards him as He was about to open the door

"Don't go there, and I dare you to compare yourself with me again. You were a bastard to force my mother into a marriage without her consent " He growled , marching towards him

"And you are an idiot for not accepting the pure soul you've been given by your fate." Saarthak resisted the urge to say this to his son's face, as it would only prolong the fight

" Watch your tone and language when you talk, Boy . I am still your father " He rebuked in a hard tone and walked towards the door

" Just don't fall for her Ekaksh. Or else I too don't know How you will endure the pain when I will take her away " Saarthak hoped and walked out of the room , leaving a furious Ekaksh behind him

✨✨✨✨

" You are looking like a goddess Mam "

" Thank you " She said, passing a small smile to the make-up artists after they completed their work .They reciprocated with a reassuring smile and exited the room leaving her in the pool of her thoughts abd she stared at herself , they really have done a good job

" I miss you Aashu " She whispered in a low tone , staring at her reflection in the mirror and a long tear fell from her eyes making her tightly closed her eyes

Since morning, she had been feeling low and sad due to the absence of her soul-sister at her wedding. Anxiety weighed heavily on her as well, driven by thoughts of how she was going to start a new life, leaving her past and secrets behind. But she doubted if she would ever be able to forget them

" Isha " She turned around after hurriedly wiping her tears and found Saarthak standing at the door with a box in his hand

" Aap " She stood up and Saarthak walked to her with a small smile , a very rare sight for anyone

" Pyaari lag rahi ho Beta " He said in a soft tone , putting his one hand on side of her head and she passed a small and scrunched to touch his feet for blessings

" Nahi ! Nahi ! Nahi ! . No need to touch feet" He said making her immediately scrunched up before she tough his feet and put his palm on her head as blessing

" Well , This should be done by your Mother-in-law , since she is not here with us .So, this is your gift " He said and opened the box and her eyes felled the gold payal which was an exquisite piece of craftsmanship , showing it was quite heavy and antique

" But Uncle-

" Wear it as a blessing from her . It was her wish to gift this our Ekaksh's bride " He said recalling the moment they had shared the thoughts hen His wife was 9 month pregnant

" She must be the most beautiful lady " She said looking at her father-in-law who was almost in tear , lost in his thoughts about her

" Beautiful is a small word to describe what my Queen was . What my Sanvi was " He said with a chuckle making Isha smile and she sat on the nearby chair and removed her payals while talking to him about his wife

" I wish I could meet her one day but is is never going to happen " She thought with a sigh and glanced above , sending a small prayer to her Shivji for his late mother-in-law

" Uncle , I can do this " She urgently said , abruptly pushing back her feet when he sat down

"You know, Isha, when Sanvi left me, she was pregnant with a baby girl. I had dreamt about this moment with my daughter . But fate was cruel, and they both left me," he said in a calm tone that truly touched her heart. Her heart wrenched as she recalled her talks with her Baba about her father-in-law's past. He really had a miserable life

"But now , I have you Isha to live those moments . I called you my daughter and I meant it Beta " He said with a small smile and her eyes welled-up finding the love in his blue orbs , the same eyes like her to-be-husband

" But Uncle , you are still elder to me " She hesitantly said and he chuckled , shaking his head

"Let me tell you something , whenever cash or gold comes into our house, the first thing we do is offer it to Mata Lakshmi, and this ritual is performed by the women of our family, never by the men. It's a custom. I may be elder to you, but you are no less than the Goddess Lakshmi to our home, the one who brings prosperity and happiness. And I am happy that my Ekaksh is fortunate enough to get you , Isha " he explained in a gentle tone. Slowly, he placed her leg on his knee and fastened the anklets around her ankle

" I know you will too bring some ray of hope in my son life too " He thought and fastened the other one and stood up , passing a small to her

" Uncle , you can talk to me whenever you want about Sanvi Aunty . I will definitely listen to you " She said with so much hope as her heart can feel the emptiness yet longing residing in his eyes when He talked about his wife

" I want to know about her more " Shesaid further making him passed a small smile and he patted her head in affection

" Isha ! Are you ready Bacha ?" Sandeep asked , opening the door and looked at her who instantly faced him and flashed a smile

His eyes welled up, making it difficult for him not to break down. Through his teary gaze, she looked like the most beautiful bride he had ever seen. Yet, it was time for her to say goodbye. Even the thought of her departure was enough to drown his heart in the most vile mimisery

" Don't you dare to cry . I will end up giving competition to you " She said in a heavy tone , with trembling lips making him smile with tears in his eyes and in a swift motion he embraced her in a tight hug and broke down , completely forgetting his surrounding

"Betiyan itni jaldi badi kyun ho jati hain , Shivji " he cried out with a heavy heart. Her sobs echoed his, and Saarthak could feel the pure and lovable bond between them. It was hard to say he was not her father

" I will go and talk with Pandit ji about further rituals " Sarthak said patting the shoulder of Sandeep and walked out , closing the door to give them space as it was the most fragile moment for any father and daughter

" Baba " She called , pulling her face from his embrace and looked back at his face with sniffs and He nodded

" Eat your food on time and don't stay out late at night. Kya pata kal ko konsi aunty aap pe totka kar dein," She said, wiping his tears. He nodded, a faint smile breaking through his sorrow

" Wait here " Sandeep said and walked towards the vanity

" kala tika " She said and He nodded and put a kala tika bedding her ear to ward off the evil even his mind mocked ' you are marrying her off to the most evil person of the world '

" You are looking beautiful Bachha " He said with a soft smile , correcting the dupatta pinned on her head with so much care

" Of course I am after all , I am the daughter of Sandeep Mehra , the heartthrob of our locality " She said with a chuckle making him shook his head

"I know you are distressed about the things going on, but always remember one thing: if there is any problem or you want to share anything, make sure to call me. Never forget Banaras is your home, and your Baba and your Shivji are always there for you," he said in a collected tone, making her nod. She passed a reassuring smile

" Hayeeee ! Isha di , You are looking like a princess " Jhilmil said entering the room , attracting the father- daughter attention towards her

" Well , My daughter is a real princess " Sandeep said with a proud smile making Jhilmil frowned while Isha chuckled at her , well they are still unaware of the fact Isha is the princess of Pali

" Wosab chhoriye . Aapko wo Ek aur aapke jaise Handsome uncle bula rahe hai " She said pointing at her back still looking at Isha in aww and wa;ked towards her

" Bring her to alter , I will be going " He said to Jhilmil who happily nodded and He kissed Isha's forehead before taking his departure

"Isha di, Jiju bahut jada handsome hai," she said in an excited tone, making Isha abruptly turn to face her. Jhilmil passed a teasing look while Isha tried to maintain a calm demeanor, even though her heart started to race at the mere mention of him

" O-Ohh , Ach-Achi baat hai " She said trying to act normal and started to set her hair with quivering hand

" Kaise dikhate hai " She abruptly asked , rushing towards Jhilmil making her giggle and She glared at her

" Khud dekh kar description mujhe bhi dedena " She said with a cheeky smile and clasped her wrist and dragged her behind her

"Aap yaha se entry lena, main chali," Jhilmil said with a cheeky smile, walking away before Isha could ask for her presence as encouragement

"Why am I getting this nervous? Ek din to shaadi karni hi thi," she said, then veiled her face with the net dupatta, taking baby steps toward the pavilion while holding her lehenga with trembling hands

The clinking sound of her payal drew everyone's attention towards the gate from where she was entering. Keeping her head low, she took slow breaths, her heart racing and her palms sweating. His words at the park rang in her ears, and she tightly closed her eyes, chanting softly to steady herself

"Don't be scared, Isha. Now you have to spend the rest of your life with him. Ganga Maiya, sambhal lijiyega," she whispered to herself, seeking divine reassurance as she took another step forward

With a sharp breath and a little encouragement, she lifted her eyelids and looked straight ahead in his direction, only to gasp and part her lips with a hitched breath, completely captivated by his charismatic aura. Her eyes widened, and red hues washed over her cheeks, making her blush furiously as a tumult of emotions erupted in her mind and heart. He was no less than an illusion, a dazzling vision who could mesmerize with just a glimpse of his handsomeness

" Main to chaand ki baat kar rahi thi, ye to pura Aakash Ganga nikla! Itna bhi sundar nahi hona ki agal bagal ka sab kuch bhool jaaun aur unhe ki dekhati rahi ," She said, struggling not to bite her lip at his handsomeness. He was only looking at her without blinking, which was making her situation even more difficult

" Hayeee Ganga Maiya ! Kya pati parosa hai . No wonder He said I would not regret at the altar " She thought drowning into his looks with a helpless look , walking towards her behind absent- minded

" Should I rush away to get some chillies to ward off evil eyes from him ? No ! No ! No ! Then they will assume I ran away after seeing him " She thought in horror without caring about the eyes looking at her

Her father looked at her with concern, thinking she might have been intimidated by his son-in-law's cold yet stern expression.Ekaksh was staring at her with a deadpan look, not blinking his eyes even for once .Glaring at Ekaksh for his intense gaze, he then shifted his attention back to his lovely, anxious daughter lost in her husband charm

" Wait ! I have applied the kohl , I can put a kala tika on him . Yes ! Yes ! That will be the best option " Her mind again come with another idea making her nod and in the whole time she didn't even realize she has reached him

"Breathe, you fucker! Your face has completely turned red," Aviraj whispered into Ekaksh's ear from behind, his tone gritted with embarrassment. His friend, who was completely smitten by her bridal attire and subtle makeup, finally snapped out of his daze. Hell He again lost his sense near her and he knows this is not the last time

"And put down your hand from your heart, it is embarrassing. People are watching you, idiot," Aviraaj interrupted again in a low tone. Ekaksh looked down immediately, only to find his right palm resting on the left side of his chest, where his heart had started to race the moment his eyes fell on the epitome of beauty entering the hall as his fate

"Ekaksh, give her your hand," Aviraaj whispered, snapping him out of his thoughts. He still couldn't take his eyes off her face. She was beautiful, he knew that, but the way the makeup had enhanced her features made her look even more attractive

"She can help herself" He arrogantly said and glanced at her who was still staring at him . Aviraaj rolled his eyes at his unbothered behavior while Sandeep fumed in anger

" Isha ! " Aviraaj called extending his hand but got no reply

" Isha ! " He again called looking between her and his hazel orbs following her stucked eyes . And it was fixed on Ekaksh who struggling to avert his eyes from her

" And Here I thought its a marriage of convenience . Is it really ? " Aviraaj whispered , shaking his hand looking at the lost bride in his friend's charm

"Isha!" he called a little louder, snapping her out of her daze. She flinched, and hues of embarrassment washed over her face as she realized what she was doing. Hell, she was watching him like there was no tomorrow

" Tha-Thank you , Aviraaj Bhaiya " She tried to overcome the flushed moment and put her hand on his hand passing a small smile and looked down while hE happily helped her with a soft look

" Ahhhh" She stumbled on her heavy lengha and was about to fall back as her palm failed to grip Aviraaj's hand but a tight yet careful pal gripped her arm and abruptly pulled her back and her front slammed into a hard chest . She looked up with a baffled looked only to meet the oceanic blue eyes staring back at her

"If you don't know how to help, why the hell did you extend your hand?" he snapped through gritted teeth, glaring at Aviraaj with anger. Aviraaj smirked, knowing full well he hadn't done it intentionally, but thankful that it had happened

" Sarthak sir , We still have time to avoid this mess " Sandeep said looking at his thought then glanced at Sarthak who was looking at the to-be couple with a knowing look

"Why do you think it's a mess ?" Sarthak asked flooding his hands

"He is not even ready to give his hand for help . Do you really think He will protect her when any danger overshadows my daughter ? He will choose her safety before anything . He will guard her like a Husband " He asked in a helpless tone which was mixed with disappointed

"I don't know why, but I have a feeling he would even embrace death if it meant ensuring Isha's safety," Sarthak said, his eyes fixed on Ekaksh. For a flicker of a second, he saw his younger self in him but with a more fierce and stronger aura. Sandeep gritted his teeth and swallowed his pain and tension, looking away from Sarthak

"Kanyadaan ke liye aage aye" Panditji said looking at Sandeep and He moved towards them and the ritual started

"Everything will be fine . My daughter is strong . Remember this " He consoled her in a whispered tone , noticing her moist eyes as she looked at her father . She nodded at him controlling her sobs , tears threatening to fall out of her eyes . Snadeep blinked and both engrossed into the ritual which a going to be long indeed

" Stay away from her " Sandeep whispered into Ekaksh ear making him cranked his neck a little and looked at his father-in-law

"Of course, Half Sasurji," he said, causing Sandeep to narrow his eyes at him. It was clear that he had inherited his knack for irritating Sandeep from Niharika Singh Ranawat. He could bet that Ekaksh had spent a considerable amount of time with his only nightmare-the sassy yet wittiest lady he had ever encountered

" But i wonder if your daughter could make it possible for me or not .Seems like she is getting difficult to do that , Half Sasurji " He said with a sinister smirk and Sandeep frowned and looked down at the Kalash water where Ekaksh signed only to part his lips finding his daughter reflection where she was staring at his son-in-law without a blink

No way his innocent, naive, and virtuous daughter is doing that in the way his vile son-in-law has taken. She might have been searching for something when his eyes fell on her reflection in the water. He steadied his heart with those sweet thoughts and nodded to himself

"Ab aap apna sthan grah karein," Pandit ji said, clearing his throat as he noticed they were still engrossed in their god-knows-what conversation or, better said, argument while performing the ritual.

Hell Pandit ji was resisting the urge to snap at them but he focused on his work as His eyes fell on the armed men even inside the hall . They are influential people , powerful enough to do his pind-daan at any mistake . His heart altered

His eyes fell on the kalash water, catching her looking at his reflection. She quickly looked away, and he smirked at her reaction. She glanced at the water again to check if he was still looking, and yes, he was. He narrowed his eyes, making her gulp and immediately divert her gaze as her heartbeat quickened from just a little glimpse of his stern face and his lips twitched from the corner at her reaction . Undoubtedly she is the most navie and pure person he has even come across but that too not god for his Heart , Yes this Heart Surgeon is not good for his pounding heartbeat.

" Seems like I kept my words Sweetheart as you are really not able to take off your eyes from me " He whispered in husky tone , leaning his towards her only to close his eyes , feeling a sense of calmness in her sweet yet citrusy fragrance , soothing the chaos inside him

"So-sorry," she uttered in a low tone, trying to calm the heat rising on her cheeks due to his endearment. It would be a lie if she said her heartbeat didn't skip when he called her by that name again

"Ye aapke liye," Jhilmil said, handing her the flower garland for the jaimala after they stood up from their seats. She could sense the irritation on his face and his urgency to finish the ceremony

"Jiju, pahle aap" Jhilmil said, and as soon as her words finished, the moment the garland was placed around Isha's neck, it all happened so quickly that she barely had time to react. Jhilmil clapped, overly excited, prompting others to join in as well, while Ekaksh stood there with a cold, emotionless face giving no reaction to his bride who just started at him with parted lips

"Kis baat ki itni jaldi hai inko?" she thought, moving forward. She waited for him to lean down, as there was no way she could place the garland on him without jumping. In her heavy attire, there was no chance she was going to do that-after all, she wasn't hanging clothes on a rope to dry. It was her varmala ceremony

"Ekaksh , at least lean down . Looked at her heig-

No way is Aviraaj going to comment on height. Come on, he gets tortured regularly by women who are 5'4" even though he's 6'3", just for accidentally commenting on their height. The trauma from that still haunts him, even though she is his P.A.-but also his Rainbow, who is no less than a fireball

" Ekaksh , bow down , She is having difficulty , cannot you see " Aviraag hissed in anger while Ekaksh stood unbothered , looking away from her

" You forced me for that " Aviraaj said and kicked Ekaksh's kness making him shocked and in next moment he was on his knees for her while she looked at him with parted lips and shocked look then glazed at Aviraaj who smiled at her and gave a thumb up

" Thank you Bhai " She said in an overwhelmed tone and put the varmala in the time Ekaksh was trying to comprehend the things . Ekaksh snapped his head towards Aviraaj and glared at him in anguish

" The way you were lost in her fragrance sometime ago , I can confirm . It will not even take 6 months for you to get on your knees even with a kick from anyone . But just a mere glance of my sister " Aviraaj whispered into Ekaksh eras with a forced smile while Ekaksh fumed in anger , fisting his palm tightly and the aura around him dangerously changed making her step back in fear

" Finish this shit " He gritted with a low growl and settled on his place while she sat beside him , at a little distance away. He was angry and it was emitting from the dark aura looming around him

Soon the Phera were completed with the holy mantra recited by the Panditji with the vows , making them understand the importance of marriage . Jhilmil brought the thaal with the vermillion and nuptial chain . Panditji motioned for the Sindoordan while uttering the holy mantra and with a sharp breath Ekaksh took the pinch of vermilion and looked down at the girl who was just looking straight

"This is only for you, Ma," he thought. "She will be just a girl with whom I'll share a house but never truly be my wife. No one else can." As he applied the vermillion to her hairline, her eyes closed instinctively, sensing that her fate was irrevocably bound to his for lifetime

" Jiju wait . Don't wipe it .It is a good sagun , My Ma says if the vermillion falls on nose while applying during marriage then the Husband is going to love his wife deeply and dealy " Jhimil giggled making Ekaksh coldy looked at Isha who was sitting silently without a word

"I don't like giving false hope," he said, his rough tone leaving no room for doubt. He brusquely wiped the vermillion from her nose, causing her to gasp and her eyes to well up involuntarily. She turned to him with a broken expression, but he didn't acknowledge her distress. Instead, he stared indifferently at the holy fire, ignoring the angered gaze she cast in his direction

" He is never going to change . I have ruined my daughter's life just to assure her safety " Sandeep thought with heavy heart and a long tear fell down his eyes at Ekaksh gesture towards his daughter

" You are ruining your peace by your own hand Boy . You will regret this , I can see it" Sarthak thought and shook his head with a detest look

" You will not die if you could get nice to her " Aviraaj angrily murmured

" I don't like to pretend something I am not Aviraaj " Ekaksh replied and soon the marriage was completed after he made her wear the nuptial chain and few more steps

"Vivaah sampaan hua" Pandit ji announced with a smile and Ekaksh sighed internally

"Finally this drama end" He thought , rolling back his eyes and stood to walk away with a unbothered look making her look up at him immediately

"Beta kaha ja rahe ho. Bado ka Aasirwaad lo aur abhi to Mahadev ke mandir bhi jaana hai" Pandit ji said in a rushed tone making him chuckled darkly while Aviraaj fisted his palm to not punch him at his nonsense

"I don't bow down as no one is really worthy of that Panditji . No one " He said in a stren tone and threw the cloth which was wrapped around his neck , tired to chunari during phera

She quickly grabbed the cloth he had thrown, preventing it from falling into the Agni. As she looked at him, preparing to leave the hall without a single glance back, tears escaped her eyes. She hurriedly wiped them away. Her father and father-in-law watched with a pang in their heart but at last they were compelled

"I just hope he never hurt her " Saarthak said and Sandeep bitterly look away wiping his tears at his daughter fate

"Don't cry, Isha. He doesn't deserve these tears if keeps on behaving like an asshole towards you " Aviraaj said, extending his hand to help her up. She was still holding onto the knot of their marriage, her grip a symbol of the vows she had just been forced to let go of

"Ji Bhai" She meekly whispered and nodded at him , standing up from his help

"I wish you were here Aashu" She thought controlling her sobs but the tears kept trailing down her eyes

"I wish my Rainbow was here so that she could help me with words to control her tears" Aviraaj thought looking at her tears

"Stop crying my Bachha " Sandeep said hugging his daughter tightly and she broke down

"I don't want to leave you, Baba," she sobbed, clinging tightly to him. She knew that the time had come to part from her father and her beloved Banaras

"Everything will be fine Isha , remember you are my strong Bachha" He said trying to consoled her who was still sobbing

"You try to calm her . I will look after the arrangements to leave" Saarthak said putting his palm on Isha head in affection and she could feel the sorry his gaze was holding for her . She didn't said anything just snuggled into her Baba embrace

"Aviraaj " Saarthak said averting his gaze towards Aviraaj and both took their departure leaving the hall

"What was need to walk away from there Ekaksh " Aviraaj burst out in anger looking at him who was sitting on the bed busy in his phone while puffing a cigarette , placeding between his two finger , no one can say He has gotten married few minutes ago

"I already said She is nothing but just a mere girl who entered my life because of a promise, So there was no reason to stay there and watch their melodrama and all" He said in a lazy tone being completely unbothered and exhale a puff , while his gaze fixed on the phone

"You know you will regret for this one day" Aviraaj growled in anger which rose up hearing his friend chuckle

"I will regret if she will learn to make me " He said in a mocking tone and Aviraaj stormed out of the room in fury as his patience to not punch him was bearing thin every passing second

"Fucker" Aviraaj cursed loudly , slamming the door behind him

" At least better than a Bastard like you " Ekaksh rebuked back , throwing the cigarette in the bin

"Come on ! It is not my mistake if she cannot even handle this " He left out trying to calm the frustration building inside him since the time he had come cm back from the altar here .

How much he trys to convince himself but his mind too know the truth that the Heart Surgeon with sweet was definitely not a good sign to his cold heart .

"Fuck Sweetheart " He hissed loudly, throwing himself on the sofa to vanish the glimpse of her welled-up eyes

That sight was pricking something inside him . A different kind of restless which he never felt after his mother . May be Hurt .
