Part 1-- Eventful first night!

Mumbai:

Sitting in middle of bed, all decked up in red wedding lehenga and a beautiful face covered under veil~ all she could think off was her life,her life which took sudden 360 degree turn in last few hours which she never expected, atleast not in this way.

Tears rolling down her cheeks before falling onto her heena cladded hands while heart aching sharply.

She never thought about her wedding day to be like this.She had offered her heart to the man and he simply crushed it before leaving her there all shattered.And now here she is sitting as a woman of an unknown Man whom she hadn’t even met before.

All she was asking is~what is her fault in all this?

Looking at the figure sleeping on couch, she drown into the flashback-

~Flashback~

“Abhinav is not in the room and I got this letter.”a man said after coming out from groom’s make-up room, while here Aarohi’s heart feared thinking about all the bad possibilities, but still she confront herself that nothing of that sort will happen untill her father--Arnob Basu read out the letter loudly making her numb and dead at the same time.

Letter~:I m sorry but I never wanted to do this marriage as I wanted to pursue my carrier but my family “forced” me.But today I cannot betray Aarohi anymore by getting into the marriage which has no future, and soo I m running away from this marriage.please forgive me aarohi if possible.

~Abhinav

And next minute, bride’s mother~Mishti basu screamed loudly as her daughter fall unconscious in wedding pavilion, Making her family worried as hell, and next moment with heavy heart, bride’s brother~Abhoy Basu called off the marriage with his head lowered.

Half-an-hour later:

“Advaith will marry her!”abhiraj Singh khurana dropped a bomb on each and every one present there, but the most shocked were those two, whose life was going to be entangled with each-other, may be for forever that too without their consent.

“dad how can i??i-I cannot marry her-“ advaith said after getting his father in one corner, totally confused of all happenings.

Offcourse,what is his fault if the groom has ran away.Afterall he wasn’t the one who helped the groom to run away then why he shall take the responsibility of the loss!?~this is all he could think at this moment.

“Advaith, look how she and her family is scattered.what are friends for when they don’t come for help in other friend’s hard time.Besides Aarohi has all qualities that we need in your wife.Please say yes”, Priya khurana~Advaith’s mother requested her son after looking at the condition of his husband’s friend and his family.

“mom, he is dad’s friend and how can you take such a big decision of my life without asking me.Noo mom, I am not at all agreeing for the marriage where I don’t even know her properly.How can I spend my whole life with a girl whom I saw just few hours back, let alone knowing her.”advaith whisper yelled in frustration and somewhere he was right also.

“Advaith, I have already given my words and I m not taking them back.If you are truly my son then agree for this marriage and be my pride.”abhiraj declared leaving no place for argument and advaith knew that this is final as now he cannot go against his father’s words, as Pride always comes first for his father, and eventually he was left with no choice other than to marry the girl about whom he only knows her name and nothing else.

And there they got tied up into this lifetime relation, where their consent or wish was neither needed nor asked.

One had given her heart already to someone else whom she was about to get married, while other was in love with someone else.But at the end both were helpless and forced into this marriage.

In Advaith’s Room:

Advaith enter after all name-sake rituals and saw Aarohi sitting in middle of bed just like a newly wedded bride, which she was!!She was looking so beautiful that anyone can fall for her immediately including him, if the situation wasn’t the same!!!

“Listen I know whatever happened in last few hours was just unexpected and out of our control but I want to clear one thing”advaith paused for a minute to notice her expressions,who by now was looking up at into his eyes with her beautiful doe-shapped eyes.

“Aarohi, I love someone else and I can never love any other girl except her”advaith finally confessed making her shock.Offcourse she was also forced into this marriage but she never thought that the situation will turn out like this.Immediately a fear engulfed inside her that what will be her future in this unexpected and sudden marriage, where her husband is already in love with some other girl.

“I didn’t got time to tell you this otherwise I wouldn’t have married u at first place.i know you are going through tough time but I am nowhere even related to your loss, yet I am also getting this punishment for the deed I haven’t even committed.I cannot promise you that I will leave Aamira(Advaith’s girlfriend) because I love her a lot and also I can’t promise you to give you your rights as my wife because I can’t and will never love you. You can surely be here as my wife in front of whole world, but inside this four walls, we can never be together”Advaith selfishly threw his words to her before taking his pillow and quilt and moved towards the couch to get some break from this exhausted event, leaving Aarohi behind with tears and broken heart.

Sitting in his room, she had finally accepted her fate and decided to give chance to this marriage but now advaith’s confession just broke all her hopes and dreams of happy married life.

She chuckled at the game of destiny where the one whom she loved, left her in middle of their journey and the one with whom she is married, is already in love with some other girl.She felt herself just as an unwanted person who is somewhere intruding in other’s life unnecessarily!!!

~Flashback ends~

Exhausted of all the happenings, finally sleep took over her and she let the darkness consumed herself as she fall onto the bed, still in her same wedding dress, wishing for some miracle to happen at the next morning of her life.

Next Morning:

Waking up at her usual time, i.e, 5 A.M. in the morning, Aarohi frowned for a second looking around untill her eyes land on the man sleeping on couch, who is now her wedded husband.

Pushing all the negative thoughts away, she got down from bed and kept her suitcase on bed to take out her clothes before walking into bathroom, for a long relaxing shower.

Standing under shower, she closed her eyes to let her tears fall leisurely on her cheeks, mixing with hot water while remembering how excited she as well as her family was for this marriage but it all changed in just a blink of moment.

Finally getting herself relaxed to maximum and letting all tiredness flew from her body, she stepped out of shower and went towards the dressing table to get ready.

Though her marriage was an unexpected event but still she couldn’t ignore the fact that now she is wedded wife of someone, daughter-in-law of some family and so she got ready in the necessary outfit needed.

She wore a beautiful tomato-red anarkali suit with nuptial chain hanged around her neck and vermillion adorning the partition of her hair.Truely she was looking the most beautiful bride at this moment.

After getting ready and debating with her heart and mind, she finally let out a sigh before walking towards Advaith who was sleeping uncomfortably on couch.Shaking him lightly by his shoulders, she tried waking him up who was adamant not to wake up soon.

Again trying the same,this time she succeed to earn “what?” from him to which she replied, “you must be uncomfortable here.Go and sleep on bed.”

Advaith rubbed his eyes registering her words untill it hit him that now she is his wife and he is sleeping on couch.Without exchanging any glance or word, he took his pillow before throwing himself on bed making her sigh at his cold and ignoring behaviour.

...........

With love

-Aara.
