Aarvi emerges from the washroom wearing a yellow t-shirt and trouser and lay on the bed and covered herself with the blanket. Darshil was already laying on the sofa thinking about everything Aarvi just said. On the other side, Aarvi was also thinking the same.
She couldn't sleep for sometimes, as she was thinking, how quickly all this happened, she is married to the person she hates the most. She looked towards him for a moment and then closed her eyes.
Next morning, it was 6 am when Darshil woke up. He sits up and looked at Aarvi who was sleeping peacefully. She looks so peaceful and delicate that he couldn't take his eyes of her face. He was watching her continuously and couldn't help but smiles.
30 minutes passed and he continued to stare her. He was observing her and was smiling softly looking at her innocence. After some mire moments, Aarvi woke up and looked at him. She quickly sat up and looked around, and then her gaze again shifted to Darshil who was still staring her from the couch.
Good Morning, Hazel. Darshil said
What were you looking at? Aarvi asked
He chuckles
Nothing, I just couldn't take my eyes off of you. Darshil said
You were watching me while I was sleeping? Aarvi asked and Darshil nodded
I couldn't stop. Darshil said
Aarvi git up from the bed and walked into the washroom.
After 30 minutes, she emerged from the dressing room in a red colour saree with a full work blouse. She looked around and found that Darshil was not in the room. Then she stood in front of the mirror. First she applies applies a moisturizer, then the kajal and applies a peach lipbalm, then comb her hair and keeps it open which looked so beautiful as the curls from beneath were making her look more attractive. Then she wears a small gold jhumka As she was about to leave the room, she remembered something. She returns back and takes her mangalsutra from the dressing table, wears it, and then applies sindoor to her forehead and leaves the room.
As Aarvi walks out, Darshil walks in the room from the balcony where he was talking to Shiv. He then walks in the washroom to take a shower.
When Aarvi goes downstairs, she saw Nandini ji sitting on the couch in the living room. She approaches her and touches her feet for blessings.
Nandini ji smiled and caressed her hair.
Good morning beta, you are looking so beautiful in this Saree. Nandini ji said and Aarvi smiled.
Then both of them walked to the mandir of the house. Ruhi and Poorva also arrived there
Wow bhabhi, you look gorgeous. Poorva saud.
Thankyou Poorva, I will like it if you call me Aarvi. Aarvi said with a smile.
Okay...... Poorva said and then they all performed aarti
Aarvi gave prasad to everybody meanwhile Darshil comes downstairs.
Aarvi, go give aarti and prasad to Darshil also. Nandini ji said and walked towards the living room
Be careful Aarvi. Poorva said
Why? Aarvi asked
Bhai, don't beleive in god so he may not like this. But I think, you can change his thought. Poorva said and Aarvi looked at Darshil who was sitting with Nandini ji and Ruhi.
That's why he is such a monster...... Aarvi thought while walking towards him.
Chachu, have you seen how beautiful chachi is looking? Ruhi asked and Darshil smiled
I haven't seen her, tell me how is she looking? Darshil asked with a soft expression.
She is looking like a 'laal pari'. Ruhi said
Aarvi approaches him and stood in front of him with the aarti thal at the sane moment.
Aarti..... Aarvi said and Darshil looked at her and was shocked, his breathe catches, as looked at her in the red Saree. He watched her up to down and stood up. He was completely lost in her beauty. This was the first time, he has seen her in saree and he was completely speechless. He was staring at her continuously. Aarvi looked at him and then at Nandini ji and Poorva who were smiling on Darshil's reaction.
Aarti..... Aarvi said and Darshil came out of the thoughts of her beauty.
Darshil thought about something for a moment and then performed Aarti and extended his hand for Prasad.
Very good Darshil, I think my daughter in law will surely change your actions. Nandini ji said.
Aarvi then smiled politely and walked towards the mandir to keep the aarti thal back to its place while Darshil's eyes were continuously following her.
Isn't Aarvi looking beautiful? Poorva asked
Extremely beautiful. Darshil said fixing his gaze on her and Poorva laughed softly on his expression.
"Nazar mat lagaiye meri bhabhi ko". Poorva said with a smile and Darshil looked at her
"Meri biwi hai. Ise lagne wali har buri nazar ko mujhse guzarna hoga" Darshil said looking back at Aarvi who approaches to Nandini ji
Bhai, I never imagined you to be so loving and caring. Poorva said
Me too. Darshil said looking at Aarvi.
Ready for your pehli rasoi? Don't worry, you just have to make something sweet. I will also help you. Nandini ji said
Okay dadi. Aarvi said with a smile and then the both walked into the kitchen.
After sometime, Aarvi, settled the table with breakfast and everybody gathers together. On Nandini ji's instruction, Aarvi sat beside Darshil and maids started serving.
Darshil, Aarvi has prepared 'moongdal ka halwa' for you. Nandini ji said and Darshil looked at Aarvi and both if them were a bit surprised.
Really? Darshil asked her and she hesitated for a moment
Y.... Yeah. Dadi asked me to prepare something sweet, so I thaught of "moongdal ka halwa". Aarvi said.
Well, it's my favourite sweet dish. Darshil said and took a ate of halwa.
It's delicious. Darshil said
Everyone then tasted it and appreciated Aarvi.
After the lunch, Aarvi went to her room where Darshil was already present.
As she entered the room, Darshil looked at her but she ignored him and took her phone.
Thankyou..... Darshil said
For what? Aarvi asked
For preparing my favourite dish. Darshil said
If I had known that it's your favourite, I would've never prepared that. Aarvi said and Darshil smiled
Why do you hate me so much? I am not as bad as you think. Darshil said
There are many reasons but right now, I am not in a mood to argue. Aarvi said
Darshil approaches towards her
Hazel, trust me I love you a lot. I don't know what will I do without you. Darshil said and Aarvi felt heart skipped a beat and she was looking into his eyes.
Stay away from me. Aarvi said
Darshil chuckles abd walked forwards slowly and Aarvi was taking her steps back.
I know why you hate me..... Because I am so obsessed with you that it scares you. You hate me because I won't let anyone else have you, and you are just mine. Darshil said and kept on walking forwards and Aarvi backwards untill she bumped to the wall and Darshil caged her keeping his both the hands on the wall getting more close to her.
What are you doing? Aarvi asked looking into his eyes and Darshil also fixed his eyes into her eyes with love and affection
You hate me because I am so in love with you that it drives me crazy. Darshil said and Aarvi was left surprised and speechless. His magnetic eyes were drawing her towards him, she was again feeling the same connection, a desire which is still unknown to her. After few moments, she looked away.
Why did you keep on coming so close to me? Aarvi asked
I couldn't help it, but can you blame me? You're just so irresistible. I can't stay away from you. Darshil said but Aarvi glared at him.
Your stupid flirting are not gonna make me love you. Aarvi said
Darshil looks back at you with a teasing look in his eyes.
Do you know what I want to do right now? Darshil asked.
What? Aarvi asked
Darshil gets even closer and leans near her ear
I want to kiss you. I want to feel your lips on mine. I want to taste you. Darshil whispers softly in her ear which gives shivers into her spine and she widen her eyes and looked at him making herself look even more cute.
Stay away..... Aarvi said and pushed him back, and walked away of him and sat on the bed
Darshil laughs softly as he leans against the wall, still looking at her. Aarvi stood up in frustration
Why are you looking at me? Aarvi asked
I cannot even see you? Darshil asked walking towards her
NO!!! Aarvi said
Darshil chuckles and again walks towards Aarvi making Aarvi walk backwards
Say it clearly! You can't see into my eyes like this..... You cannot resist ne forever. Darshil said and Aarvi was lost into his eyes for a moment.
I cannot tolerate your nonsense. Aarvi said and walked out of the room.
After sometimes, she was sitting with Nandini ji in the living room when Darshil arrived.
Darshil..... Where are you going? Nandini ji asked.
Office there is a meeting with an important client. Nandini ji said
But I told you not to go anywhere today. It's your reception today. Nandini ji said
Don't worry dadi, I will be back soon. Darshil said and then left
Bhai is always busy in work and buisness. Poorva said
Yeah..... But atleast, I got my beautiful daughter-in-law. You know what Aarvi, I sometimes think that even I couldn't have found such a beautiful bride for Darshil. Nandini ji said keeping her hand on Aarvi's cheek and Aarvi smiled
My bhabhi is one in million. Poorva said with a smile
Aarvi, why are you so quiet? Nandini ji asked with an affectionate expression
Dadi, I usually speak less. Aarvi said with a smile
But you have to talk to us, we are your family now. Poorva said
Yes I know and I am so happy to get a family members like you. You are like my sister Poorva. Aarvi said
And what am I? Ruhi asked and Aarvi smiled at her and made her sit on her lap
You are like my princess. Happy? Aarvi said
Chachi, you are so cute. Will you give me some beauty tips? Ruhi asked with innocence and everybody including Aarvi laughed
But why do need it Ruhi? You are already so beautiful and cute, a lot more than me. Aarvi said
Really? Ruhi asked.
Yes my princess. Aarvi asked and kissed on Ruhi's cheeks
I am very happy to see that Ruhi has become so friendly with you. Nandini ji said with a smile
Meri chachi hai hi itni achhi. Ruhi said with a smile and then Aarvi hugged her
Aarvi, your beautician will be arriving soon, so take rest before that. Nandini ji said and Aarvi nodded
It was 7 pm, the guests had started to come and the whole Rajvanshi House was decorated with lights and flowers.
Darshil was ready for the reception party in a black three piece suit. As he enters his room, he finds Aarvi standing in front of the mirror.
Ready? Darshil asked and Aarvi turned to him and nodded
Darshil was walking towards her but stops in his tracks when he sees her. He's speechless. He can't help but notice how beautiful she is looking in the dress and makeup . He can't take his eyes off of her.
She was looking really beautiful even in low makeup look: a golden and peach combination heavy work gown, diamond jwellery, open hair which were curled, smokey eyes with red lip gloss. She was looking extremely stunning.
Darshil approaches her and stand close to her. His eyes narrow with a teasing look as he tucks her hair behind her ears. He can't help but notice how soft her skin is. He leans in closer
You look absolutely breathtaking Hazel. That dress is perfect on you. And your hair......Darshil said and touches it gently, running his fingers through the strands.
Stop flirting with ne all the time. Aarvi said
I can't help it. You're just so irresistible Hazel. Darshil said
Aarvi looked at him for a moment, he was looking so handsome and charming that she couldn't take off her eyes from him but she looked away after some moments but Darshil understood her expressions.
Shall we go? All the guests are here and we have to go together. Darshil said
This reception is for both of us and it is up to me, whenever and how to go. Afterall, I don't trust you..... Who knows, when you will break your commitment. Aarvi said
Darshil was looking into her eyes with a soft expression. His eyes were filled with love and determination.
I won't break it. You can kill me if I ever break my commitment. Darshil said making Aarvi surprised. Her expression softens and looked into his eyes again
Shall we go now? Darshil asked and hold out his hand for her to take.
Aarvi hesitates for a moment but then she took his hand. Darshil pulled her a bit close.
Everyone should think that you love me... Okay? Darshil asked and Aarvi nodded.
Darshil walks into the party with Aarvi by his side, holding his arm like a happy wife. Everyone looks at them and they can't help but notice how beautiful they both look together. Everyone is in awe of Aarvi's beauty and she can feel the stares and whispers. Darshil walks confidently through the crowd, holding her hand and making sure no one can get too close to her.
The stage was decorated beautifully for the couple to sit together.
Poorva helps Aarvi to walk through the decorated areas and with the help of Darshil, she climbs on the stage. Then the both sit together.
After sometime, Rathod family arrived. Aarvi was really happy to meet them again. She hugged her parents and Siya. Both Aarvi and Darshil touched their feet to seek blessings from them.
Everyone was praised and blessed the couple.
Are you okay? Darshil asked
Does it matter? Aarvi asked
Offcourse it does to me. Darshil said but Aarvi glared at him for a moment and then looked towards the camera and the guests.
Poorva stood on the dance stage and announced the coupleâs first dance. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Aarvi and Darshil to the dance floor for their first dance as husband and wife! Poorva said
Aarvi's heart sank. The last thing she wanted was to play the part of a loving bride.
Darshil extended his hand to her, his eyes hopeful.
"May I have this dance?" Darshil asked softly, his voice filled with an earnestness that only deepened Aarvi's resentment. With a forced smile, Aarvi placed her hand in his, and they moved to the center of the dance floor.
The guests erupted in applause. The music began, a slow and melodious tune that filled the room with a romantic aura. Darshil placed his hand on Aarviâs waist, pulling her close. Her body was tense, her movements rigid, but he tried to guide her gently, hoping to melt the ice between them. They started with a basic waltz step, their bodies swaying in rhythm with the music. Darshil looked into her eyes, trying to convey his feelings through his gaze.
You're beautiful tonight. Darshil whispered, his breath warm against her ear.
Why are you doing this? Aarvi whispered under her breath, unable to keep silent any longer.
Darshil looked puzzled.
Doing what? Darshil asked
Acting like everything is perfect. You know I didn't want this. Aarvi replied , her voice trembling with suppressed emotion.
I know, Hazel. But I love you. I'm hoping that maybe, in time, you'll come to love me too. Darshil said and Aarvi's eyes flashed with anger.
Aarvi averted her eyes, her jaw clenched. She felt trapped, her anger bubbling just beneath the surface. But the eyes of the guests were on them, and she knew she had to play the part.
As the song progressed, Darshil attempted to lead them into a series of graceful twirls. He spun Aarvi out, their hands connected by fingertips, then pulled her back in, trying to create a moment of closeness. Darshil pulled her very close to her and their eyes locked.
Aarvi couldn't look away from his magnetic eyes.
Stop looking at me that way. Aarvi said
Why?? Are you losing control Hazel? Darshil asked with a smirk and then spin her around.
The audience admired their fluid movements, unaware of the tension between the couple.
Darshil lifted Aarvi into a gentle dip, his arm supporting her back as she leaned gracefully, her hair cascading like a waterfall.The music swelled, and Darshil twirled Aarvi under his arm, bringing her close again.
I know you hate me now, but I promise I'll spend my life making you happy. Darshil whispers softly but Aarvi's eyes were filled with defiance.
Promises mean nothing to me, Darshil. Aarvi said
As the song neared its end, Darshil led Aarvi into a final spin, their movements synchronized yet emotionally disconnected. He finished with a dramatic dip, holding Aarvi suspended for a moment before pulling her back up. The guests erupted in applause, oblivious to the storm brewing between the couple.
Aarvi was in her room, after changing to a comfortable trouser and tshirt. She was thinking about everything happened all through the day. Darshil's closeness, his eyes, which always makes her feel drawn towards him. She looked at the table where the bottle if water was empty.
She took the bottle and goes downstairs towards the kitchen. While walking, she was still thinking about the feeling and connection she feels when Darshil comes close to her. She lost her balance and her ankle twisted, she was about to fall but someone catches her before she hit the ground. As she looked at the person, it was Darshil.
Watch it Hazel.... Are you okay? Darshil asked and she looked at him still lost in his thoughts
Stay away.... Aarvi said and tried to stand on her own but failed. She sprained his ankle and now it was hurting so much that she couldn't even stand on herself.
You are hurt. Darshil said and held her gently.
You found out today? Aarvi said sarcastically
Let me take care of you. Darshil said as he ignores her words this time and carries her in a bridal style. Aarvi again looked at his face as he hold her so close to himself.
What are you doing??? Aarvi asked in annoyance.
Taking you to our room so that I can treat your ankle, now keep quiet. Darshil said and walks towards the stairs.
