“Marriage is not a noun; it’s a verb. It isn’t something you get. It’s something you do. It’s the way you love your partner every day.” – Barbara De Angelis

Siddharth's POV
We reached the marriage registry office . The moment I saw the girl sitting all innocent in a simple yellow salwar suit I felt like someone is here connected to my heart but didn't look at her face. Because I don't want to see her face even .'Do I know her?' I asked myself but why did i even feel like she is known to me. Why my ruthless heart is feeling connected to this girl. I was busy in my thoughts when I heard a man's voice.Then I saw the couple , her parents was smiling like fools . Why not getting a billionaire as a son - in - law is like wining a lottery for them . Greedy people . And here is their well - trained daughter .Looking all innocent with a cunning mind . I don't understand why she is looking sad . Her face is pale, eyes are showing different emotions .Yes Yes now this girl is centre of attention of your life .Soon the man whoever he is, asked me to sign the marriage certificate and I unwantedly did it . With the corner of my eyes I saw my family's happy face . What is special in her ? Like forcing me marry her . Even my grandmas are also happy . Radhika's face was little pale but she was also happy . I don't know what to do in reality ?After I signed she was asked to sign it . She was about to say something but my dad took asked the man to go near her and take her signature . Like a wow . Is she a queen ? She signed the certificate with her shaky hands . I raised my eyebrows . Such a good actress .As she signed she looked up and gave it to my dad . And then only I saw her face for the first time properly. *An angel**Beautiful eyes**Small nose**Pink lips**Knee length hair*Grandmas were right . She is beautiful and hot .Wow just wow seeing the pretty face of her you forget what your mother said to you.No No I didn't . I will show her hell . Um uum I will not torture her . I know my limits . And I will never cross it . Maybe we are married but there is nothing between us . I will just make her leave me as soon as possible by her own .I never wanted to marry her . I don't have anyone special in my life but it is wrong . I am not a business deal . I just want to live my life on my own way . But now this girl messed up . Last night mom chose her over me . Hell she said that I would have to perform her funeral if I don't marry this girl . And I lost it all . For her I can do anything . But if she leaves me by her own then their will be no problem .The marriage was done . I saw that she is also least interested about all these things just like me . My baby sister hugged her and others also . Like they know from years. They literally hugged her like they got relief from biggest pain . Dad also hugged her . She also hugged back them but after taking sometime . It's like she is a some kind of celebrity . Well now she is . Being the wife of a billionaire like me. Then suddenly I saw that her parents are gone . Why not dad already singed the cheque , soon money will be transferred to their account . But suddenly I felt bad for her . Who leaves their daughter like this ?Soon we went out of the office . What make me frown was that my sister literally pulled me out of that place . It's like they want me out of the place . Strange! First everyone is behaving like she is very close to her and now keeping things secret from me . Soon we were out of the office . Then suddenly dad told me we are going to office . But just few minutes ago Radhu said she will go with me .Arghhh !!! Everything is messed up . Before leaving the office I saw my mother smiling happily .Should I change my mind . Should I give her a chance .Honestly I don't know it right now . Leave it let's go to office . But now I have a wife .***********Advika's POV
I didn't dare to look at him . I know he is a Greek god and me the great dumbo Advika Mehra . Soon the marriage was done . Still now they didn't get to know my truth . Like seriously uncle and aunty made sure no body comes to know the truth . Why they are so eager about this marriage ? I don't know . Moreover they already locked Sakshi inside the room . She must be crying right now . Yes after the morning incident Sakshi faked being unconsious. And she got caught, at first I was so scared about her but then when aunty threw cold water on her face untill she freaked out and got up. And her plan failed miserbly and so my luck.As the marriage was done they didn't even look at me and went away . Am I that much bad ? But why ? Just because of I am burden on them . No actually you are a burden on the earth . I controlled by tears . I will not waste a single tear for them . Suddenly someone hugged me . Then more three girls . I felt so relaxed and excited also .
Then I understood that they are his family . One lady said on my ears ' Hug us back sweety . I am you grandma and we are family . ' But why I felt that they knew me before . And thay know me very well. But how ?But it felt so lovely to me . I immediately hug all of them . Then a man hugged me saying on my ears ' I am your father . 'There was genuineness in his voice . I also hugged him back . He patted my back saying ' Welcome to the family . 'Family . I laughed at my cruel fate . You will throw me after sometimes out of your house as well as life. Then suddenly the girl who hugged me called him ' Bhai 'Oo so she is my sister - in - law . As soon as the brother and sister duo left the family memberslooked at me .One old woman said ' Let's go home sweetness . We will pamper you a lot . 'Pamper and me . What a joke ? well she doesn't know the truth .But what made me shocked was their action . They knew . They freaking knew about the truth . Soon we settled on the car and went towards the car . But Radhika di was going with us instead ofDad. Yes they already introduced themselves to me through the journey . So I know her name . As I reached the home I didn't get a shock . They are billionaire . They did my welcome with Arti and the Griahpravesh was done . Then I again got a shock .As we settled on the royal sofa his mother said ' Advika I know what is going through your mind ? 'I nodded my head . Yes obviously .Then she said ' I liked you the day I saw you in the park . I wanted someone like you for my son . A person with pure heart and a pure soul . We all love you . You are our daughter now . So don't feel sad okay . Trust me we all love you . We really do. 'I felt like a dumbo again . What the hell is going on ? This stupid marriage , now this family loves me so much .I asked ' But why me ? I mean my marriage with him ? 'One of the grandmas said ' Listen Babydoll you are precious to us . We won't disappoint you . Just relax okk . Just wait and watch we will make your this sad face happiest one . 'Don't break my heart .With my all bravery I asked ' Umm but I mean him .. with whom I .. got married .'My mother - in - law said ' It's an arrange marriage . But everything will be perfect soon . 'I don't know why I felt like that is not truth, they are hiding something from us. Also I am scared for his reaction, well my husband's. ********************************
