Aarvi's confession made everyone shocked, especially Darshil.
Really? Nandini ji asked
Really? Darshil asked and Aarvi looked at him for a moment but turned back to Nandini ji.
Yes..... I got such a beautiful family, you, Poorva and specially Ruhi who are just a gift to me. So how can I hate someone who gave such a precious gift to me. Now forget all of this. Aarvi said and Nandini ji hugged her.
After dinner, Darshil entered into his room where Aarvi was sitting on the bed and reading a book.
Can we talk? Darshil asked but Aarvi didn't look at him
What is it? Aarvi asked
What you said infront of dadi..... Is that true? Darshil asked
Yes..... I love them and it's true. I hope you don't have any problem. Aarvi said
No..... I mean......Do you really not hate me? Darshil asked and Aarvi looked at him.
It doesn't matter if I hate because you don't matter to me. Aarvi said
Darshil looked at her for some moments.
How can you hate me so much? Darshil asked
Can you blame me? Aarvi said
No I can't..... Maybe I deserve this because I love you more than anything in this whole world. Darshil said in a serious and intense tone.
And I hate you..... I hate you so much that I won't think for a moment before taking your life, do you get that? Aarvi yelled at him and he was shocked, he felt his heart breaking for a moment but he didn't spoke for a moment. He pulled her close from the waise making her face also getting close to her and looked into and continued to look in her eyes with all his love and pain in his eyes which made Aarvi a bit scared.
Okay..... I won't mind. Darshil said
W-What? Aarvi said looking at him.
"Tumhara hu, jo chahe kar lo.Tumhare liye mai sau baar apni jaan de sakta hu bina kisi shikayat ke. Bas wada kro ki tumhare aankho se ek bhi ansu nahi girega, kyuki mai unhe poch nhi paunga."
Darshil said in a soft but serious and intense expression and tone making Aarvi was completely surprised. She looked at him in disbelief and took some steps back. Darshil took a knife and took out his gun infront of her.
Choose your weapon wisely and take your time. Darshil said and walked out of the room. Aarvi sat on the and tears rolled down her cheeks. She knew what she said now was wrong and these tears were because of the pain she saw in his eyes caused by her words.
How can I be so cruel? I was not this, how can I say such things about killing someone? And that too my own husband?..... Husband? Do I really accept him as my husband? Aarvi mocked herself in confusion and guilt.
Darshil walks downstairs and enters into Nandini ji's room.
Dadi..... Darshil said and sat infront of her.
Don't call me that..... I don't want to hear you after everything you did. Nandini ji said and then Darshil kneel down in front of her.
Please don't say that. You know how important all of you are for me. I need you, your support, your blessings to face the challenges. Darshil said
Stand up, don't sit that way. You know I can't see you upset and sad. Nandini ji said. Darshil stood up and sat beside her.
And I can't see you being upset that too because of me. I know, I have done somethings wrong. But dadi, I really love her, I couldn't bear to lose her. Darshil said
But Darshil, this is not the right way to keep someone close to you. Nandini ji said. Darshil's expression was soft.
I know..... My actions are wrong, I know I chose a wrong way to marry her but dadi, trust me, my love and intentions are pure for her. I cannot even think of hurting her anymore. Darshil said
You love her very much, don't you? Nandini ji asked with a soft tone and expression
She cannot even imagine how much I love her. I really love her, she has become the reason of ny every breathe now and I need her. I want to love her, protect her and make her feel the happiest girl in the world. Darshil said and Nandini ji smiled
But, are you sure she don't hate you? Nandini ji said.
Let her hate me, but I will never give up on her. Darshil said
Does she know this? Does she know the worth of your love? Nandini ji asked
She will know the worth when she will realize and feel my love. But dadi, whatever I am today is just because of you. When you get upset from me, I get shattered. Please don't be upset with me. Darshil said
Nandini ji's eyes were wet now.
If you are helpless in the love of Aarvi, then I am helpless in your love. I cannot be upset with you, no matter what you do. But, just keep my daughter-in-law happy. Try to win her heart and love at any cost. Nandini ji said
Darshil nods and hugged her.
After an hour, when he got free from his calls and office work, he walked upstairs and opened the door to his bedroom. He noticed that Aarvi was lying on the bed. He closed the door behind and walked towards her quietly not wanting to wake her if she was already asleep. As he stepped inside, the soft glow of the bedside lamp illuminated the room. There, on the bed, Aarvi lay sprawled out, her head tilted uncomfortably off the pillow. One arm was stretched above her head while the other lay across her stomach. Her long hair cascaded in a tangled mess over the pillow, and her breathing was deep and steady.
Darshil couldn't help but smile. Even in her careless slumber, Aarvi looked undeniably cute. He stood there for a moment, just watching her, his heart swelling with love and affection. The way her soft pink lips parted slightly, the gentle rise and fall of her chest, and the innocent expression on her face made him feel an overwhelming sense of protectiveness.
He approached the bed with the utmost care, not wanting to disturb her peaceful sleep. Gently, he slid his hands under her head, lifting it slightly to place it properly on the pillow. She stirred a little but didn't wake. Darshil tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear, his fingers lingering on her soft skin for a moment longer than necessary. Then, he carefully moved her arm from above her head to her side, adjusting her position so she lay more comfortably. He pulled the blanket up to her shoulders, ensuring she was warm and cozy. Aarvi murmured something incoherent in her sleep, and a soft smile played on her lips.
Darshil stood back to admire his work, his heart full.
"Sleep well, my Hazel," Darshil whispered.
Darshil then turned towards the closet, changing quietly into his nightclothes. He glanced back at Aarvi, unable to resist the magnetic pull she had on him. He moved to the couch, settling himself down with a sigh. The couch gave him a perfect view of Aarvi, and that was all that mattered. As he lay there, he watched her, his eyes tracing the gentle rise and fall of her chest, and her innocent look. The night grew deeper, and Darshil's eyes grew heavy. His last conscious thought before sleep was of Aarvi's innocence.
In the morning, Aarvi stirred from her sleep, her eyes fluttering open as she heard the distant murmur of activity in the mansion. She sat up, glancing at the empty space beside her in the large bed. Darshil was already up today.
She took a shower and dressed quickly and made her way to the kitchen, where Nandini ji was already bustling about, preparing breakfast.
Good morning, Aarvi. Nandini ji greeted with a warm smile.
Good morning dadi, I am sorry, I am late today. Let me help you. Aarvi said
Don't worry beta, breakfast is already ready and you don't need to worry about getting up late. It's your own house, not an office. Nandini ji said
Poorva entered the kitchen, holding Ruhi's hand. The little girl's eyes lit up when she saw Aarvi, and she ran over, hugging her legs.
Chachi, can we play after breakfast? Its Saturday and I have no school today. Ruhi asked, her eyes wide with hope.
Of course, Ruhi. Aarvi replied, ruffling the Ruhi's hair.
Just then, Darshil walked in, his presence commanding the room. He was impeccably dressed, as always, his eyes immediately finding Aarvi. There was an intensity in his gaze that never seemed to wane, a mix of possessiveness and longing that made her heart constrict.
Good morning, everyone. Darshil said, his voice smooth and deep.
Hazel, did you sleep well? Darshil asked with a teasing smile
Aarvi nodded, avoiding his eyes.
Yes, I did. Thank you. Aarvi said
Darshil moved closer, his hand gently touching her arm.
After breakfast, Darshil left for a meeting, his parting words to Aarvi a reminder of their dinner plans. Once he was gone, the atmosphere lightened considerably.
In the evening, Poorva and Aarvi took Ruhi to the garden, where they spent the next few hours playing and talking. For a little while, Aarvi could almost forget her situation, enjoying the simple pleasures of a sunny day and the laughter of Ruhi.
As it gets dark, Darshil came back.
Darshil, you came early today? Nandini ji asked
Yes dadi, I had 2 meetings so I finished them and came back. Where is my wife? Darshil asked with a smile, his eyes wandering around searching for Aarvi.
She is outside, in the garden with Ruhi. Nandini ji said
Okay..... I am going to my study room. Darshil said and walked upstairs
It was 6 pm when Poorva and Ruhi arrived to the hall where Nandini ji was sitting and reading a book.
So, did you enjoyed Ruhi? Nandini ji asked with a smile
Yes dadi, I love chachi. She was amazing. Ruhi said with a smile
But here is your chachi? Nandini ji asked
She is not at home. She told me that she is going to the nearby pharmacy store. Poorva said
Pharmacy? But why? Nandini ji asked
She said that one of her medicines had run out and she had gone to buy it. Poorva said
But why did she went alone? She could have told Darshil to bring that for her. And medicines for what? Nandini ji asked
I don't know dadi, I told her to ask bhai to bring her the medicine but she told me that bhai don't know about the medicine. Don't worry, she will be back soon. Poorva said
Okay, let's wait for her. Nandini ji said
On the other side, Aarvi walked through the nearby market, enjoying the hustle and bustle, trying to forget the life she was tied to.Without warning, a black SUV screeched to a halt beside her. Before she could react, two masked men jumped out, grabbed her, and forced her into the vehicle. Aarvi struggled and screamed, but her cries were muffled by a hand over her mouth. The door slammed shut, and the SUV sped away, leaving behind a stunned crowd.
Back at the mansion, Nandini ji noticed the time and grew worried when Aarvi didn't return. She called Aarvi but her number was switched off. Nandini ji walked to the study room if Darshil, Poorva followed her.
Darshil..... Nandini ji said
What happened dadi? Darshil asked
Aarvi isn't back yet. Nandini ji said
W-What do you mean? Where is she? Darshil asked
She informed Poorva that she is going to a nearby medicine store but it's been an hour and she is not back. Nandini ji said.
Darshil's head snapped towards Nandini ji, his heart skipping a beat. For a moment, he felt a chill of fear he hadnât experienced in years.
Darshil clenched his fist in in anger and concern, his knuckles white with rage. His mind raced, knowing exactly who was behind this.
Darshil, called Shiv and asked him to search for Aarvi and he immediately sent out his men to search for her. Panic set in as hours passed with no word.
Nandini Ji noticed the aggressive rage in his eyes, which she knew was the beginning of destruction. She placed a gentle hand on his shoulder, trying to calm him.
Darshil shook his head, his jaw clenched. I can't calm down while she's out there. She hates me enough already. If anything happens to her..... No, I can't let anything happen to her. Darshil said
Darshil, think rationally, we need a plan. Nandini ji replied, placing a reassuring hand on his shoulder.
There is no time for plans dadi, he has my wife, my Hazel. I am going to get her back and also I will make sure, the person who did this, must pay for it. Darshil said and walked out of there. He took the keys of his car and reached his main office where Aarvi's search was going on through computers and cctvs, tracing her locations. Shiv was already waiting for him over there.
Did you find out anything? Darshil asked
Aarvi is kidnapped. Shiv said.
Darshil wasn't surprised much but his anger was extreme.
Darshil took a look at the cctv footage of the area from where Aarvi was kidnapped.
Darshil recognized the emblem on the men's jacketsâit was Raghav's gang. The realization sent a chill down his spine.
Darshil knew that she was being used as bait to get to him.
Then, a dreaded phone call came.
Darshil. Raghav's voice was dripping with malice.
Raghav laughs off but Darshil was quiet, his anger boiling high.
I've got your precious wife. Raghav said
Let her go otherwise I am surely gonna kill you thus time. Darshil said
You don't need to work so hard to find me. Till the time I don't want, no one can reach me. Raghav said
Even if you are in the last fold of earth, I will find you out from there too. Darshil said in anger and Raghav laughs
Yes Darshil, I do praise your power. Even if I am in hell, you will take me out from there as well. "Magar is wakt, mere hath me ek chidiya hai, aur us chidiya me tumhari jaan basti hai." She is still in my control. Raghav said
Nothing should happen to Aarvi, Raghav or you know me well. I will myself take your life. Darshil said
Nothing will happen Darshil, if you agree to one or two demands of mine. Raghav said
Go ahead. Darshil said
I want your eastern territories. Raghav said making Darshil shocked
You know, I will not accept this condition of yours. Darshil said
If you will continue to think about your kingdom and territories, you will lose your wife. Raghav said
I will be infront of you in a little while. And I will kill you with my own hands. Darshil said
Enough!!! If you will try to act smart, or bring police to me..... Be ready to see your wife's dead body. If you ever want to see her again, you'll give me the eastern territories. Raghav said
Darshil's hand tightened around the phone, his knuckles turning white.
If you hurt her, I will make you pay. Darshil said
Raghav laughed.
The clock is ticking, Darshil. Make your choice. Raghav said
The phone call ended.
What did he said? Shiv asked
Darshil's eyes darkening with each thought.
He wants a trade, my territories that are in the east. Darshil said
Shiv gasped.
He can't be serious! Those territories are the heart of our operations! Shiv said
He knows that. But he doesn't know how far I'm willing to go for her. Darshil said
He stood up, determination etched into every line of his face.
Darshil's world narrowed to a single point, he had to save Aarvi. Driven by a mix of fury and desperation, he gathered his men and set out for Raghav's hideout. Nothing would stop him from bringing her back.
Prepare the men. We're going to get her back. Darshil said and Shiv nodded
On the other side, Aarvi sat in the dimly lit warehouse, her heart pounding in her chest. Aarvi was tied to a chair, her face bruised and her eyes filled with a mixture of fear and defiance. She struggled against the ropes, her mind racing with thoughts of escape. Suddenly, the door burst open, and Raghav strode in, a cruel smile playing on his lips. The ropes binding her wrists chafed against her skin, but it was the cold, calculating gaze of Raghav that truly terrified her.
Comfortable, Mrs. Rajvanshi? Raghav sneered, circling her like a predator.
What do you want from me? Why are you involving me in this? Aarvi asked
Itâs simple, Mrs, Rajvanshi, Your husband has made my life hell, and now Iâm going to return the favor. Raghav said
Aarvi's voice shook as she tried to maintain a brave front, but her eyes betrayed her fear.
Youâre a coward. You think using me will break him? You donât know Darshil. Aarvi said
Raghav leaned in close, his breath hot against her ear.
Weâll see about that.
You won't get away with this," Aarvi spat, her voice steady despite her fear.
Darshil will come for me. She said
Raghav laughed.
Oh, I know he will. And when he does, I'll have everything I've ever wanted. Raghav said
Youâre a fool if you think this will end well for you. Aarvi said
Raghav laughed, the sound echoing ominously.
Your husband is a formidable man, but heâs also blinded by his love for you. Heâll come for you, and when he does, heâll walk right into my trap. Raghav said
He may be blinded by his love, but you underestimate him. Heâs smarter than you think. Aarvi said
Raghav's smile faltered slightly, but he quickly masked it with a sneer.
Darshil was on his way to find Aarvi. He was driving recklessly. His anger was boiling. His mind was a storm of anger and worry. As he moved drove towards the warehouse, he could almost feel Aarviâs fear. He had to find her, had to save her. The thought of her being hurt, scared, aloneâit was unbearable, this unbearable thought, made his eyes red with concern, rage and fear.
I am coming Hazel, I won't let anything happen to you. Darshil said
