Darshil reached his house and walked straight into his room. He was roaming there in anger when someone knocked on the door. It was Nandini ji

Yes Dadi..... Darshil said and then he made her sit

Darshil, Are you sure you want to do this? Nandini ji asked

Yes dadi, this was the only option. Darshil said

Is Aarvi happy? Nandini ji asked

Yes, she is very happy. They will reach the destination at time. I think you should check the preparations and get ready. After all it's your grandson's wedding. Darshil said

Nandini ji smiled

Okay, you too get ready. Nandini ji said and left.

Darshil stood up and closed the door behind and he was thinking about everything happened in last 2 days.

Flashback:

After Darshil reached Dubai, he was continuously busy in his work and meetings all through the day. It was night time when Shiv arrived in his hotel room and looked exhausted.

What happened? Darshil asked

There is something important you need to know. Shiv said

What is it? Darshil asked

Aarvi is getting engaged day after tomorrow. Shiv said and Darshil was left surprised and shocked

What?? Are you sure? Darshil asked in anger

Yes, our one of the lady staff was keeping an eye on her and her family. She told me everything about the engagement day and shopping and other stuffs. She will get engaged to a boy named Ravi, day after tomorrow. Shiv said

Darshil's anger was climbing its peak. He couldn't understand what to do but he knew one thing that he has no other option than forcing Aarvi to marry.

Book a wedding hall for day after tomorrow and ask them to do all the wedding preparations including calling the priest and all. I want the famous designer of the country to give me their most beautiful bridal lehenga they have tomorrow itself including the jewellery. I am going to to marry Aarvi. Darshil said in a serious tone.

Okay...... Shiv said and left

Then Darshil called Nandini ji.

Hello Darshil. Nandini ji said

Dadi, how are you all? Darshil asked

We are fine beta, what about you? Nandini ji said

I am not good dadi, I want to marry Aarvi day after tomorrow. Darshil said and

What!! So early? Why suddenly? We haven't met her till now. How a sudden wedding? Nandini ji asked.

Dadi, her parents are getting her married to someone else and so I am willing to marry her on the same day. Darshil said

You should talk to her parents. What will we say to our relatives for such an early wedding? Nandini ji said

I had a talk dadi but they didn't agree. I really love Aarvi, I can't lose her at any cost. Please understand. We will throw a great reception party after the wedding for our friends and family. Darshil said

Okay...... Are you sure about Aarvi? Nandini ji asked

1000% sure..... Darshil said

Darshil, I really trust you and your decisions the most, so I am okay with this decision also. Nandini ji said

Then Darshil cut the call and called other people to prepare for the wedding venue.

He cancelled all his meetings for the next few days and reached India the next day itself.

He planned everything about the kidnapping and many things for Aarvi at his home. But he wanted to give a surprise visit to Aarvi to make her scared as hell so that she can't be stubborn anymore.

Today, he kidnapped Ravi while he was on his way to Aarvi's home for his engagement. After that, he tied him in the car in which bomb was planted.

Now:

Darshil was lost in thaughts when he got a call. As he picked it up, he got the information that Aarvi and his family has reached the resort which was booked as the wedding venue and Aarvi is in the bride room getting ready.

After sometime, Darshil was also ready in a groom attire as he looked himself in the mirror and then he walks downstairs after getting a call from Nandini ji.

As he approaches towards them, Nandini ji's eyes got wet.

I was craving for this day to come. Nandini ji said and hugged Darshil

Don't cry dadi, this day has come now. Darshil said and then Ruhi and Poorva came there

Wow bhai you are looking dashing as a groom. Bhabhi will again fall for you after looking at you. Poorva said and Darshil smiles

Let's go now. Nandini ji said and then all of them left for the wedding resort and reached there in sometime.

Rajvanshis made there grand entrance into the resort. Vivek ji and Anjali ji performs the traditional tilak ceremony leading the groom, Darshil and hus family inside.

The Mandap is adorned with Marigold garlands and surrounded by the holy fire. There is a traditional music that floats through the air. Flower petals are scattered around the pathway, leading towards the mandap. Darshil, draped in traditional attire, sits solemnly by the holy fire, performing the age old rituals.

Then Anjali ji and Poorva, accompany Aarvi to the mandap. As she approaches the mandap, Aarvi sees Darshil sitting around the holy fire. She hesitates for a moment, her steps faltering, before Anjali ji guides her forward. As Nandini ji saw Aarvi, she was so happy to see such an innocent and pure looking bride of her Darshil, tears of joy were rolling down her cheeks as she wipes them and smiles happily.

Bhai, your bride has arrived, the wait is over now. Poorva said

Darshil's gaze shifts to Aarvi and he fixates on her and his heart skips a beat. He couldn't take his eyes of her for even a single moment.

Aarvi was looking like a goddess in her bridal attire : a peach and brown tint lehenga with full gold work, red bangles, kalira, pink and golden jwellery, a red bindi, red bindi and nude makeup with red lipstick. If anything was missing, it's just her smile. Otherwise she is looking stunning.

Poorva guides Aarvi to the mandap and seats her. Aarvi complies, her heart heavy with weight of her impending fate. The priest begins chanting mantras and initiates the marriage rituals. Darshil gaze keep returning to Aarvi, who sits with her head bowed, and eyes wet.

Aarvi's parents feels helpless seeing their daughter into a forced marriage without her consent. On the other side, Siya's anger was on peak as if she is willing to burn down this whole resort. She wanted Aarvi to get out of this all but she can't do anything now.

As the ceremony progresses, the priest calls for bride's parents for the 'Kanyadan'. The Rajvanshis all look towards Aarvi's parents. Vivek ji amd Anjali ji joins Aarvi and Darshil. Aarvi sees the pain in Vivek ji's eyes as they both were performing the Kanyadan. With trembling hands, Vivek ji places her hands into Darshil's. Anjali ji whispers words of encouragement to Aarvi, as they perform the sacred rituals.

Now it was the time for the pheras. Darshil stands up, but Aarvi remains seated. Poorva steps forward to help Aarvi stand. The priest recites the vachan with each round. But with each step of pheras, Aarvi resolves wavers, her step faltering beneath the weight of her grief.

After two pheras, her feat get caught in her heavy lehenga and she was falling but Darshil catches her, holding her in his arms. Their eyes meet, his expression is soft towards her and his eyes was filled with love for her whereas her sadness and hate with a tint of fear. Then Darshil picks her up in his arms in a bridal style and starts taking the rounds. Aarvi was looking at him and he was looking in her eyes as they were so close.

Poorva and Nandini ji were extremely happy on this action of Darshil whereas Vivek ji and Anjali ji find solace in knowing that Darshil will look after their daughter. And so, they complete the remaining pheras in this way.

As the ceremony draws to a close, the priest instructs Darshil "Now apply this sindoor in Aarvi's forehead".

Darshil gazes into Aarvi's eyes as he applies the sindoor but she closes her eyes. She felt the weight of his touch like a brand against her skin, as she felt now she is owned by him.

After that, on the instruction of the priest, Darshil ties the mangalsutra around her neck. Then the priest declares them as husband and wife and Darshil was so relieved and happy.

A chorus of blessings fills the air. But all Aarvi can feel is a wave of despair, drowning out the sounds of celebrations.

She is a prisoner of her own making, shackled to a man she knew to be a ruthless monster, with no hope to escape. The marriage is now complete. To those present, it's a beautiful bond, but for Aarvi, it's a burden.

Aarvi takes a deep breath, wiping her tears and forcing to smile for the camera. Darshil leans slightly towards Aarvi, smirking.

Congratulations, Hazel. You are mine now and forever. Darshil said

Aarvi's eyes fill with resentment as she stares at him.

Nandini ji and Poorva approach to the new weds. Nandini ji kisses her daughter-in-law's forehead, welcoming her into the family, wishing. "Sada khush raho, sada suhagan raho. Aise hi ek dusre ka khyal rakhna". Nandini ji said

Finally, Mr. and Mrs. Rajvanshi. Poorva said with a exciting smile

Aarvi forces a polite smile, her eyes were filled with grief and hate but not for his family.

They both take blessings from the new weds and then Poorva makes her introduce to Ruhi who hugged her.

You are so beautiful, chachi. Ruhi said and Aarvi caresses her cheeks with love.

Now it was the time of vidaai......

Aarvi hugs her parents tightly, tears streaming down her cheeks. Vivek ji looked so brocken and Nandini ji was feeling sympathetic.

I am sorry beta. Vivek ji said

It's not your fault papa. Aarvi said

Jo ho gya, so ho ho gya. Now, since you are married, give this marriage a chance amd also try to be a good daughter-in-law. I understand it's tough, but it's not impossible. Anjali ji said and Aarvi nodded

After that, Poorva leads Aarvi to the car and made her sit comfortably. After an hour of drive, a round of cars rolled down into 'RAJVANSHI HOUSE', a grand estate decorated with lights and flowers.

The entire place looks like a bride decorated for her wedding.

Everyone gets out of the car. Nandini ji, Ruhi and Poorva went inside the house to prepare for the upcoming rituals. Meanwhile, Darshil and Aarvi were standing at the entrance. Poorva place a "kalash of akshat" in front of Aarvi and then Nandini ji instructs her to walk in after kicking the kalash. Aarvi did the same and walked in but..... again Aarvi stumbles as she loses her balance but before she can fall, Darshil grabbed her arm.

Are you okay? Darshil ask as his expression softens

Maybe, she is finding issue in walking in such a heavy lehenga. Nandini ji said with a smile

Darshil looks at Aarvi for a moment in concern. He then did the same again.

Without a word, Darshil picks up Aarvi in his arm, surprising everyone with his sudden action of care. Aarvi looked in his eyes and her hand were on his shoulder taking support.

You are too light, even in this heavy lehenga, you should eat properly, Hazel. Darshil whispers

Wowww..... We didn't know that my bhai is so romantic. Poorva teases Darshil

Wow, chachi looks like a cute baby. Ruhi said innocently.

No doubt she is. Darshil said and walked in and made Aarvi sit on the couch.

The gruh pravesh goes smoothly and then after some more rituals and games, Poorva takes Aarvi to Darshil's room.

Bhabhi, wait here bhai will come in some time. Poorva said

Okay. Aarvi said with a smile and then Poorva left. Aarvi steps in look around to the room which can fit for royalty. The beautiful and lavish interior decors catch of her sight. The room, filled with shades of grey, brown and white, is expansive, tall windows draped in rich velvet curtains that move gently in the evening graze. A walls were adorned with a grand chandelier hangs from the ceiling, casting a warm, golden glow over everything. Aarvi's gaze drifted to the centre of the room, where a massive four-poster bed stood, where silk sheets adorned with fresh rose petals. Opposite of the bed, there was an elegant four seater sofa.

He has a good taste in interiors, maybe he is a picky one. Aarvi murmured

I hope this room is sufficient for us. Darshil said standing behind her, with crossed arms. Aarvi looked at him

As if I have any option. Aarvi said

Is your ankle fine, Hazel? Darshil asked but Aarvi was quiet.

I know it was not easy for you to see all that and trust me I didn't wanted to put you in that situation. Darshil said

But you did. Congratulations, you got what you wanted. Aarvi said

Hazel, trust me, I will never hurt you or harm you. Darshil said

What if I say that you already did? Aarvi asked

Then I will say that I will heal you but I can't lose you at any cost. Darshil said

Aarvi looked away and walked to the dressing table and removed her heavy jwellery and opened her hair. She looked at the table which was filled with ladies cosmetics, and skin care items.

That's all for you. Darshil said and Aarvi looked at him

What? Darshil said

Yeah, those makeup products, are for you, not just on the table but also in the drawers, check it. Poorva helped me get you the best shades of different stuffs and best brand qualities. Darshil said and Aarvi opened the drawers of the dressing table getting completely shocked by the huge varieties and amount of skin ladies cosmetic items, containing. Then Darshil held her arm softly and took her to the dressing room which was beside the dressing table.

As Aarvi walked inside, her eyes widen in shock to the see the huge varieties of ladies footwear, bags, dresses. Different dresses were organized in different sections, containing, Saree, Suits, Western dresses, party wears, night dresses and undergarments.

All of them are yours, for my beautiful, Hazel. One of those dressing wardrobe contains many of your gold and diamond jwellery. For safety purpose, I haven't showcased it. Darshil said

And what about you? Aarvi asked

I have my seperate changing room beside yours. But I have one washroom only. Darshil said and then they walked out of the changing room.

I told you, I wanted to get you everything you could possibly need. Is there anything I missed? Darshil asked

No, but those are too much..... And how did you know my size? Aarvi asked

I have my ways. I wanted to make sure everything fit perfectly. Don't worry about it, I have know your bra size. Darshil said as he smirks

You didn't had to waste this much of money. Aarvi said and Darshil smiled softly.

I didn't mind. I wanted to make sure you had everything you could possibly need. You deserve it and I will spoil you with all this. Darshil said

Do you think I can fall for you by these material things? Aarvi asked

I don't expect you to fall for me by material things. I'm not trying to buy your affection and love. I just want you to have everything you could possibly need or want. I want to make you happy, not just for now but for always. Darshil said

As your wish..... Aarvi said and stood in front of dressing table, and removed her makeup.

You look beautiful even without makeup. Darshil said and walked in his changing room

After sometime, he emerges out of there in a black t shirt and trouser and Aarvi took a glance at him.

He then, took a pillow and duvet from the bed and arranged them on the sofa.

What are you doing? Aarvi asked

Arranging my bed. I know you would not like to share the bed with me, soI will sleep here and you can sleep on the bed. Darshil said. Aarvi walks towards him slowly

It's surprising..... Even after getting married to me against my will, you are not going to attempt to touch me and show your manliness by force. Maybe you want to prove yourself to be good in front of me. But your personality, which has fallen and shattered in my eyes, cannot rise in my eyes by any of your efforts. Even the, if you have any misunderstanding, then give it a try. All your intentions will be shattered into pieces before my hatred. Aarvi said and Darshil was extremely disappointed and angry on her words.

He grabbed her shoulder and pinned her against the wall.

He looked into her eyes which was still filled with hate with a tint of fear but his eyes were filled with anger and rage.

If there would have been any other man in my place, he would have definitely proved you wrong. But yes, I am a different one, I love you and you are my obsession. I agree.... that my obsession could not bear to see you being someone else's. But now, you are mine and only mine. You are associated with my name, you are my wife. To cool down the fire of my obsession, maybe this realization is enough that you.... are with me. Forget about few nights, I can love you forever without touching you. "Tumse bepanah ishq karne ke liye mujhe tumhe chhune ki zaroorat nahi hai". You will surely get tired by waiting for the day when I will try to get you by sleeping with you, but my love will never get tired. I wanna earn your trust, not your body. Darshil said in an angry tone and his expression were intense. He was staring into her eyes.

Aarvi was surprised to listen those words, she didn't wanted to trust on him but his expressions and passion in his words were enough to make her beleive on him. As she was looking into his eyes, she felt a strange connection now, she was drawn towards him. Their eye contact were locked fir someone moments. Aarvi wanted to look away but his magnetic eyes didn't let her do so.

What makes you think that I will beleive your words? Aarvi asked fixing her gaze into his eyes

I don't know but let me make this clear that...... My love will be ready to achieve you only when you, yourself will willingly, entrust to me, not like this. So next time, don't you dare make such cheap assumptions and abuse my love and obsession. Darshil said in a cery serious tone and took some steps back and sat on the sofa again. Aarvi was standing there was some moments and then walked into the changing room.
