Chapter -11

We all went towards living room.

Aarushi's mother came towards Aarushi as soon as we entered inside. "Beta what happen " She asked looking at her gloomy face. I gestured Vivaan to call Pandit ji .

"Aarushi is getting married to Abhimanyu" Her father announced looking at everyone. I could hear some gasps. I looked towards my baby but she was already looking at me with tears in her eyes. I can't look at her like that. I diverted my gaze from her and took my seat.

" How I mean ,why are you saying this " Aarushi mother asked his husband and he just ignored her question and said " we will talk later."

Her father took his seat and said " I agreed to this marriage doesn't mean that I don't care about her ,I want her safety promise me that you will keep her safe " I smirked looking at him .

I know he agreed to this marriage because of his son. I came to know that he discriminates between Aarushi and her brother ,he always  prioritize his son over his daughter, that's why I used this point in my favour.Pathetic

" You don't need to worry about Aarushi ,she is our daughter from now on ,we will never let anything happen to her " Badi ma said coming forwards and caressing Aarushi's hair . She looked towards her softly.

Soon pandit ji came greeted everyone. "Khamma ghani hukum" he said looking at me . I just nodded at him. Aarushi looked towards me and mumbled something. What's going on in her mind i thought.

Pandit ji quickly took our kundli and stated " Hukum ,there is very auspicious date after one month" It's too long I can't wait that much. " No, I want the nearest dates " I said glaring at him. I think he understood my warning.

" There are two more dates which are nearest one, one is 4 days ago and one is after 2 weeks" He said meekly. Everyone looked towards me and I looked towards her ,she was avoiding me. " We will get married after 4 days ,there will be no grand announcement,we will have a private marriage.  We will take every responsibility you don't have to worry about anything just accompany us tommorow for shopping for the marriage. Give us  list of your important guest ,we will manage everything" I said looking at her parents.

" How can–– her bua was saying something but stopped between when I glare at her. She and her daughter were looking very upset,but I don't care.

" Bhai sahab,you don't need to worry we will do everything as Abhimanyu said provide us the list of your guest we will invite them and arrange everything .Don't bother yourself" Bade papa said to him and he nodded and said " Ok ,As you say ".

I was going to take my leave suddenly Aarushi stood up and said " I want to talk to hukum for once ,alone " I looked towards her, she was looking at her father. "Why ,what's there to talk " Her father said to her and she requested him" Please ,papa for once."

Something didn't settled well inside me when she requested, she shouldn't request,she should order.

"Let's go ,we will talk " I said to her more like ordered everyone to not say anything to her. If she want to talk ,we will talk. She led me upstairs towards terrace.

As we reached there she turned towards me and said " Please leave all this ,I don't want to marry you hukum" She was looking at me with so much pain in her eyes. " I want to marry you jaan , I love you alot. Why are you not agreeing to this marriage" I asked her because i can bear her hatred rather than leaving her.I will give her everything but I can't give her this,I can't accept this.

" You are asking me why I don't want to marry you  hukum , seriously first  of all you are a stranger for me ,I don't love you heck i don't even know you how can you accept me to marry you" She scoffed and yelled at me .

She paused for some time and took deep breath and said slowly"I don't want to marry you because I have no feelings for you,you are blackmailing me in this marriage,you are forcing me. Your lifestyle is different from me ,you are different from me and all of this is different from what I always wished for.I want everything simple and peaceful in my life and even if I ignore all this things ,I don't want to marry anyone  I am just 21.Its my life ,I want to live my life with my own rules. We are not compatible for each other ,we both have many differences,can you understand this.Its too early for me to get married,I don't want to marry you please spare me"

I came towards her and hold her hand . She tried to pull her hand away but I tightened my grip on her hand and said " Listen carefully,I love you alot Aarushi ,I know you don't know anything about me but I will help you,I will be there for you. I fell in love with you at first sight ,it's really hard for me to stay away from you anymore."

She was not looking at me. I came front of her and said " I know I am doing wrong by forcing you but please try to understand you and your family will never accept this marriage and I ––" She cutted me in between" What about me ,why no one is asking about my opinion.You said you love me and started forcing me in this marriage. Is this is your love ? I don't want this marriage please Hu–hukum stop all this I don't want to marry you" and pulled her hand out of my grip .

I didn't said anything, just keep looking at her. "Oh and what about my bua ,you know i was devastated when I got to know that she committed suicide because of that person . First he cheated on her with your mother and then he murdered my grandfather also.You think that it's easy to trust those people again.How can I trust you and marry you , one day you will also murder me and marry someone else and no one will ask you a single question "She said getting all furious.

"Enough,we didn't knew at first place that he  was doing all this with your family  and when we got to know we are making him pay for all of his sins and I promise love he is going to pay more for all of this but I am not him .We share blood but that doesn't mean I am like him. I only loved you and will always only love you,no one will there except you"I answered her with great difficulty as her accusations are making it hard for me to speak.Why baby why ?

"If you love me please don't do this ,let me live peacefully ,aise kaise koi bhi aayega or shaadi kerne ko bolega" She pleaded to me with tears in her eyes joining her hands together " I am sorry but I ca–can't do this . I am not letting you go,I can't  bear that  pain. I crave for your existence  , Sorry love ,please try to give me a chance,I will cherish you with my everything .Please marry me ,I will do anything when I say it I mean it ,to be with you ,to be yours."I said to her.

"Great do whatever you want but I will not give you any chance not now ,not ever. Let me tell you one more thing ,I will not behave like lovey dovey wife for you . Remember you are forcing me in all this shit I will never forgive you .Its just a forced marriage to me ,a cage nothing else.Aapka to jeena haram ker dena hai maine " She was seething in anger while saying this.

"Aap karo to kuch bhi chalega " I said looking at her.I felt so bad listening her ,am i caging her? but I want to marry her, I want to live a happy life with her ,I want to make her happy. I will do anything to earn her forgiveness but I will marry her as soon as possible because i don't trust her father.

I know I am doing wrong by manipulating and forcing them but I never said that I am a civil man. I am a fucked up person.

I knew this isn't the good way to approach this situation but I am sure  that she and her family will never accept me, heck they don't even want to have any connection with us after whatever Arjun did with them,why will they accept me? They will do anything but accepting me as her husband,never.

I already gave them one chance to accept marriage proposal but they declined so I had to use my ways. I can't take risk in anything which is related to Aarushi.She glared at me and said " Shut up and leave from here,pagal aadmi, meri to zindagi barbaad kerke rakh di"

I opened my mouth to say something but she stopped me in between saying" Don't you dare to utter a word. " I just nodded my head quietly and left from there.hmph.

I went downstairs and Bade papa and her father were discussing something related to our marriage. I was just checking my mails because she didn't come downstairs after that. She needs some time to gather her thoughts. She is already disturbed and i will not disturb her more with my presence till marriage.

I thought to call or message her but stopped myself as she needs some space now. I am already doing wrong with her by forcing her in this marriage and she will hate me more if I try to disturb her."Bhai tu to rahne hi de phir daant sunega" My subconscious mind mocked me. I ignored him and started leaving from there.

A perpetual air of mild exhaustion surrounded Abhimanyu,as he stares intently at his computer screen ,his fingers flying across the keyboard. Only sound of keyboard clicking can be heard in his cabin.

Suddenly his phone blares,disturbing him.He grabs it from his desk and saw it's Rudra. He thought for few seconds before picking up his call.As soon as he picked up Rudra shouted from the other side " Accha sila diya tune mere pyaar ka yaar ne hi Tod diya dil yaar ka,main–– Abhimanyu ended his call in between saying "Dramebaaz sala"

Abhimanyu knew he will be here in some minutes so he again started doing his work. Exactly after 15 minutes someone pushed open his cabin door and started saying " Mr Abhimanyu Singh Rathore how dare you to cut my call" Rudra came in front of him and glare at him.

Abhimanyu didn't even glance at him, ignoring his presence."Ab nazre churane se kya hoga ,aisa Kam kerne se pahle sochna tha " Rudra accused his dramatically. He again continued his ranting "Aap humse hamari jaan mang lete hum Khushi Khushi de dete lekin aapne to humra bharosa Tod diya ,kya issi din ke liye humne aapko paal poss ker bada kiya tha ki aap–– he stopped his drama in between when Abhimanyu threw paperweight towards his direction .

He douched it and again started his drama " Maine ye ummed nahi ki thi aapse maharaj,aap ne hume kahi ka nai choda" Abhimanyu glared at him and said " Shut up and dare to utter one more word "

"Nahi maharaj ,aap aise kaise hume rokenge. Aapne humse chahe sab kuch cheen liya ho lekin aap hamare adhikar humse nahi chin sakte " Rudra again said dramatically moving his hands. "Yahi jaan se maar dunga ab agar kuch bola to " Abhimanyu threatend him but do you think He will listen to him ? No nahi nakko ille.

"Aap hume maar hi daliye ,ab aise zindagi jeene ka kya fayda jisme aapke apne hi aapko dhokha dede "Rudra said all acting alongwith his dialogues. Abhimanyu took out his gun from his desk drawer and fired a shot towards his direction but the bullet went through his side and hit the wall behind him.

"Kutte mujhe lag jati to ,mai to virgin hi mar jata " Rudra shouted at him and sat on sofa in his cabin. "Acha hota " Abhimanyu said and again put his gun inside the drawer.

"Now tell me , Aise kya jaadu kiya bhabhi ne jo tu shaadi le liye man gaya ,puri story bata shuru se " Rudra questioned him and Abhimanyu took deep breath before answering him  because it's the only way to stop his dramas.

While on the other side both Abhimanyu and Aarushi's family were going for shopping today for marriage. Rathore family was already inside the mall waiting for Aarushi and her family.

Rohan parked his car  and went out with his mom .Sid was also going out but Aarushi suddenly held his hand and said" Kab tak aise hi rahega pure do din hogaye ab to baat ker le please " Sid removed her hand. "Jab tak tu sach nahi batayengi ki kyu shaadi ker rahi hai ,mujhe pata hai ki tu ye shadi nahi kerna chahti. Tu mujhe bata to kya baat hai, kyu ker rahi hai aisa  ,mai kuch rasta nikal lunga bhen per tu samajh hi nahi rahi hai" Sid said to her with desperation.

According to him she shouldn't  get married this early and she also herself don't want to get married this early  , something is wrong .This can't be a simple arranged marriage like her father said. How could she marry him like this? Till today  they did not even want to have any connection with them and   suddenly they came with proposal and she agreed.

As a friend he knows everything about her and her dreams that's why he didn't even believed her when she said that she don't have any problem in marrying Abhimanyu.

When Rohan and Sid came to know about Aarushi's sudden marriage a day before yesterday they both created a huge ruckus over this. Aarushi's father didn't told them truth and said that Abhimanyu likes her that's why he wanted to get married to her as soon as possible. Abhimanyu promised that he will keep her safe and happy .Aarushi also agreed to his proposal,she doesn't have any problem with this marriage.

Rohan and Sid find this suspicious,they both tried hard to know about truth but no one told them anything. They both tried questioning Aarushi but she also didn't tell them anything, she keep saying that she is happy with this marriage,she don't have any problem with this arranged marriage.

They both had a huge fight with Aarushi also demanding her to back off from this marriage because she shouldn't marry any one like this, specially someone who is that much dangerous. Rohan and Sid both know how much dangerous  Abhimanyu is. They can't say anything to him because of his position and power.

They both tried hard to make Aarushi and her father understand this but no one is listening to them. In last Sid and Rohan both stopped talking to her  and anyone in her family.They had lost their mind.

"Bas bhi ker de Sid yahi zid lagayi huyi hai bol diya na mujhe koi problem nahi hai kyu nahi samajhte tum dono" Aarushi said to him in irritated voice. She was already feeling very frustrated because of this marriage and Rohan and Sid also irritating her by doing all this .She wants to live them peacefully before her marriage.

She is  understanding their concern but she had to do this for them. She can't tell them truth because it will only increase their problems,her father ordered her to keep her mouth shut because even if she tried to do something she can't oversmart Abhimanyu and if they try something like this he will never forgive them.

Her father told her about what type of person Abhimanyu is,he is very dangerous and strict person. If someone even try to oversmart him he will punish them without showing any mercy,so she decides to keep her mouth shut because she can't see them suffering because of her. She will do anything for her family if it can keep them happy and safe.

"Ya to tu mujhe sach bata de ya mujhse baat mat ker.Mai pakka tujhe yaha se nikal lunga ek baar to visvaas ker le " Sid said to her desperately. "Please ,I am saying truth why –– Sid didn't listen to her and left from there. He knows that he is hurting her by his behaviour but he will try until he has a chance. Aarushi took some deep breaths and composed herself before joining others.

(Aarushi's outfit)

"Lo aa gayi " Badi ma said noticing Aarushi entering inside the mall. Aarushi smiled looking at her moved forward to touch her feets but she stopped her and hugged her lovingly. Aarushi found her really caring and loving. She and other youngers came at her house yesterday for some ritual and planning.

She was feeling very low but they all entertained her. She forgot everything for sometime and enjoyed with them. She came to know that they didn't knew anything about what Arjun did with her bua ,they all always thought that he married again because of his parents pressured. They are feeling very shameful because of Arjun's acts.

Abhimanyu told them everything about Aarushi bua and Arjun's past with Aarushi family. They feel really sorry for her and Aarushi's family. They are also feeling very sickened on Arjun's mentality. Bade papa and badi ma apologized to Aarushi's family on behalf of Arjun and promised them that Arjun will never be free from prison ,he will pay for his sins.

Aarushi really liked their understanding and peaceful nature atleast they accepted their mistake and apologized because as family they all are responsible for her bua's death not much but still they are at little fault. She found out that they all are nice person except Abhimanyu. She muttered "ganda aadmi,inko to mai shaadi ke baad bataungi bhot shok hai na shaadi kerne ka" to herself thinking about him.

"Is this mall closed , look no one is here except us " Aarushi mother asked looking around. There are only few bodyguards except them. "Abhimanyu ordered to closed this mall for today for everyone else because of safety reasons ,as we have to do bride's shopping today" Badi answered to her.

"Oh,ok but leave it , let's go  " Aarushi's mother said to everyone and they started their shopping."He said he loves me is it really love or just infatuation,how can he love me i didn't even meet him in my whole life.  Still he is forcing me, he can't expect me to ignore all of this because he had some liking towards me." She thought while walking with them.
