One night before the marriage,
Two souls were crying over their fate while two souls were happy thinking about their future. Anaya was crying, looking at her bridal wear. She can’t think about her future, what will be the result of this marriage? Ahaan loves her sister, and he hates her. He messaged her and warned her about future when he got to know she agreed to the marriage. She will be his unwanted and forced wife.
She was crying over her fate when her mother entered the room. She said while stroking her hair:” Anaya, you remembered your grandma's words about marriage?”
Anaya remembered her Grandma’s words:” Anaya, marriages are made in heaven. God binds two imperfect people into the bond so they can complete each other.”
She heard her mother:” Anaya, I know your marriage life will be difficult but I have full trust in my daughter. I know you know the importance of marriage. Remember, Ahaan has full rights over you the same way you have full rights over him. Always support him, and give him love, respect, and strength. But always remember, never sacrifice your self-respect. As his wife, you deserve respect from him.”
Anaya nodded and put her head in her mother’s lap.
On the other hand, Alya was happy thinking about her marriage with Dhruv, but somewhere she was feeling uneasy thinking about Ahaan and Anaya’s marriage. But she shrugged her thoughts thinking now she shouldn’t think about Ahaan. She was going to sleep when her phone rang. She picked up the call seeing Ahaan’s caller id.
Ahaan:” Why did you do this to me?”
Alya:” I am sorry Ahaan but I was thinking about my future.”
“Alya, you know how much I love you. Please, don’t do this to me. I love you so much. I will forget everything, let’s run away. I don’t want to marry Anaya.” He begged
Alya felt happy hearing he still loved her. She masked her happiness and said:” I am sorry, Ahaan. Please forget me and focus on Anaya.” She cut the call and walked toward Anaya’s room.
She entered the room and saw Anaya packing her things. She said with a smirk:” You know Anaya, just now your husband called me and confessed his love.” Anaya stopped her work and turned toward Alya.
Alya continued:” You know, he wanted me to run away with him. He was begging me to marry him. He didn’t want to marry you. Poor him.”
Anaya got worried, hearing her worry, Alya said, patting her cheeks:” Don’t worry, I refused to marry him. I told him that I only wanted to marry Dhruv. I came to remind you that he only loves me. He has been mad for me since my college days, you will always be his unwanted and forced wife. Your marriage will be unsuccessful and he will leave you one day. So, don’t keep high hopes, it will save you from heartbreak.” The moment Alya left the room, Anaya fell on the floor and cried covering her face.
Wedding venue Ahaan and Dhruv were sitting on the mandap waiting for their brides. Dhruv has a big smile on his face, while Ahaan was sitting with an emotionless face. Ahaan raised his head hearing anklet voice, his gaze fell on Alya who was walking toward Dhruv’s mandap with a big smile then he looked at Anaya who was walking toward him with sadness. Ahaan again shifted his gaze to Alya who was talking to Dhruv happily. He closed his eyes painfully seeing their closeness. He opened his eyes when the priest asked Anaya to sit beside him. The priest instructed the couple to forward their hand, Dhruv and Alya happily performed all the rituals. Ahaan held Anaya’s hand tightly when she put her hand on his, she pressed her teeth to suppress her pain as she didn’t want to create a scene. The priest put flowers on the couple's hands and started chanting mantras. After that, he asked them to stand for pheras (the couple took seven rounds around holy fire) He started telling the importa
The next morning, Anaya woke up, she was feeling pain all over her body. She slowly got up from the bed and walked to the washroom. After completing the morning routine, she dressed in a red saree. She combed her hair, and filled her hairline. After getting ready, she walked to Ahaan who was still sleeping without caring about anything. With fear, she touched his shoulder and tried to wake him:” Ahaan… Ahaan.” But, he didn’t budge. After 5 minutes, he opened his eyes and his gaze fell on her. He got mesmerized seeing her, clad in a vibrant crimson saree. He came into the real world hearing her voice:” Ahaan, please wake up. We are getting late for breakfast.” Ahaan yawned and said looking at the clock :” Anaya, it’s only 9. I am feeling sleepy and don’t disturb me again.” After saying this, he closed his eyes. Anaya sighed sadly, and was going when Ahaan held his hand and pulled her toward her, she landed on his chest. He said, wrapping his arms around her body:” It’s our first
After that day, Ahaan reluctantly joined the office, he was unhappy being away from his music. He lost everything, his love, and his music. One day, as Ahaan walked through the corridor, he overheard Alya talking to her friend. She excitedly shared how Dhruv had gifted her a diamond necklace, praising him as a good husband who always showered her with gifts. Ahaan painfully listened, shocked by how easily Alya had moved on while he remained stuck where she had left him. His heart broke as he remembered the hurt he felt when he saw Alya in his own house, as his sister-in-law. Lost in his thoughts, Ahaan was jolted back to reality when Alya cleared her throat and greeted him with a smile, saying, "Hi, Ahaan." Ahaan ignored her, attempting to leave, but she stopped him and said, "I know you're angry with me, but see the difference between being your wife and being Dhruv's wife. Look at Anaya; she's working like a housemaid, receiving no respect. Do you know why? Because her husband is u
When Ahaan and Anaya reached downstairs, they saw his parents and Dhruv-Alya were present in the living room. They can sense tense environment, before Ahaan could ask anything, his father shouted at him :” They descended the stairs, but the atmosphere was tense with Alya, Dhruv, and Ahaan's parents present. As they approached the family, Ahaan could see the fury in his father's eyes, and he knew something had gone wrong. Ahaan spoke softly, looking at his dad, "Dad, you called me." His father angrily retorted, "Where is the Singhania company file? I told you to submit it by yesterday for today's meeting, but no. Your carelessness has cost us crores. We lost such an important project because of your stupidity." Ahaan stood silently, knowing he was at fault and understanding the importance of the meeting. His father continued in anger, "And on top of that, you come home drunk. You are a useless son. I don't know what sin I committed that you were born into our family. You embarrass
Ahaan and Anaya were in the taxi with the property dealer. The property dealer was seated in the front beside the driver. The taxi stopped in front of the very busy locality, they can hear people shouting. It appeared to be a lower-class area. Ahaan and Anaya observed their surroundings as the property dealer instructed them to follow him. They nodded and walked behind him until they reached the house on the second floor. As they entered the house, they noticed it consisted of just one room with an open kitchen and an attached bathroom. Ahaan glanced at Anaya with sadness in his eyes, and she understood that they didn't have any other option. She looked back at him and gave a small smile, silently assuring him that they would make it work. Ahaan cleared his throat and said, "We are ready to shift into this house." The property dealer smiled and remarked, "Very good decision, sir. In your budget, this is the best house you can get in the city. Believe me. And yes, remember to stand
Next few days, their routine was the same. They both woke up early, fill the water, and then Ahaan went to search for a job. He was trying hard for a job as their money was going to finish. Not having another option, he accepted to work as a mechanic. He was unsure about Anaya's reaction, and how will she reacts knowing her husband will work as a mechanic. When Ahaan entered the home, he was welcomed by Anaya with a big smile. He never said, but her smile gave strength and encourages him to fight any battle. "I got a job" He informed while drinking water. A smile flickered across Anaya's face as she heard the words she had been longing for. Ahaan continued, "After struggling so much, I couldn't find any job that matched my qualifications or experience. I don't have any connections or influential sources. So, I had to accept a job as a mechanic. I didn't have any other choice. The money we had from selling your earrings is almost gone. " Anaya gently placed her hand on Ahaan's fa
In the evening, Ahaan returned home tiredly. Anaya looked at his exhausted face, her heart sank seeing his dirty clothes and messy state. However, she quickly replaced her sad expression with a smile, not wanting him to feel bad. As usual, she handed him water, and then he went to the washroom while she started arranging the plates. They ate their meal in silence, and afterward, they lay down on the cot. Suddenly, the lights went off, leaving Ahaan and Anaya in darkness. Anaya got up and fetched a candle, lighting it up. Ahaan was surprised and asked her when she had bought the candles. Anaya replied:" I overheard some ladies discussing the frequent power cuts in the area and decided to purchase candles, just in case. " Ahaan nodded. As time passed, Ahaan began feeling hot without the fan. Sleeping without air conditioning was already challenging for him, and now the fan was not working either. He started sweating profusely. Anaya looked at him with concern and got up to grab a n
One week passed, and their routine was the same. One evening Ahaan returned home excitedly, he hugged Anaya and said, taking her in his arms:" I'm so happy. I got my salary, my life's first salary. Let's go outside. First, we will watch a movie then we will have dinner." Anaya agreed with him but first asked to go to the temple and offer Prashad from his first salary. After watching a movie, Ahaan and Anaya were eating in a normal South Indian restaurant. Ahaan was thinking about how he ignored her in the initial days of marriage. He wanted to pamper her, he wanted to take her shopping, dinner, and everything but now he has no money and when he had money, he ignored her presence. Anaya called him and asked:" Ahaan, what are you thinking?" He shook his head, not wanting to give her stress. Still understanding his reason behind stress, she said with a smile:" Don't worry, everything will be alright. Let's go to the beach after dinner." He nodded and after dinner, they went to the b
