Jhilmil's pov

What fate have I born with!
Today is supposed to be the Happiest day of a girl's life......her Wedding day!
But look at me, I have no emotions...no excitement....but only fear!!!
Fear of my dreadful future ahead....fear of the darkness ahead....fear of loosing my loved ones.!
The irony is The soul responsible for my misery is none other than my to be husband!
I had so many dreams....so much to do...so much to explore...but look where am I standing today.....clad in an exquisite bridal wear...but my face is devoid of any glow!

How do you expect to have a glow jhilmil? Don't you remember this wedding is nothing but your futile attempts to save what is dear to you! That monster played you well. But That monster is going to pay for his sins. I will not give up...not now.....not ever....!!!
I might be marrying him....but I will never forgive him for ruining my life. He will have no rights on me as my husband, I will make sure of that!

But if he forces himself on you...don't forget he is a Mafia...and he is cruel...it doesn't matter....he may conquer my body but never in this lifetime he will rule my heart!

Laado! Come! We have to leave for the temple. Raghu sent his driver! - said my maasi but she stopped speaking abruptly when she looked at me...

She hugged me tight and then said - jhilmil, You are the most beautiful bride that I have seen my whole life!

She put kohl behind my ears to ward off any evil ..if only she knew that I am going to marry the evil himself.

You must be wondering how my maasi is behaving so normal....let me give you a flashback

One week ago

Maasi was as usual, working at our shop. She was oblivious of all the current scenarios that were happening with me. She was also very worried about the lease and my sudden behaviour changes. She tried to ask me several times, but Ofcourse I never gave in. I did not want her to feel guilty about this whole DEAL between me and that Beast!
Anyways, there was no point coz he already blackmailed me to marry him if I wanted my maasi to live or our shop to survive!
I had to agree to him!

But about one week ago, that monster walked into our shop when I was not there and he asked my hand for marriage to maasi. She was first suspecious about his proposal but his consistent approach, proved that he loved me!
Atleast this is what he made maasi believe!
She asked me about my feelings and as per his threat, I had to say yes!
That manipulative bastard made sure not to leak his real identity infront of my maasi, he presented him as a businessman who was interested in me and also as he wanted to help us in resolving the shop's situation as he owned that place.
Maasi was reluctant at first, coz she thought I was not ready for marriage yet but after hearing my answer and realising his love for me (note the sarcasm), she agreed!

I remember, I had got his call ...when he threatened me to not play any stupid games and to agree with whatever he said earlier.
I had cried that night for the last time. I decided that very night that I will not cry for my cruel fate anymore!
Coz I will find a way!

Flashback ends.

Jhilmil, where are you lost? - I was jerked away from my thoughts by none other than my maasi.

Nothing maasi, let's go! - I managed to say and we left for the assigned temple. Two other cars were following us, I guess those were his goons to make sure that I would not pull any stunt.

The entire journey, my head was resting on Maasi's shoulder and she kept saying soothing words to me but nothing seems to work with me anymore. So, With heavy heart, we reached the temple and I got down all ready to kill my soul in the name of this threatened marriage!

While I was walking towards the Mandapam, I felt an intense gaze on me...who else could that be....it was the monster. There was no one from his side....all I could see his goons or his bodyguards as he claims...He must be thinking himself as the winner....the writer of my fate..! How I wish I could run away from him but i have to face my fate... this is going to happen...my worst nightmares are going to start from this very day on.

The pandit asked me sit beside that monster and I quietly sat there...emotionless....lifeless!!!
That monster was constantly looking at my side...I could feel his creepy gaze...thank God for this veil....I was saved....I did not want to even look at his side....I just kept looking at the sacred fire.

I was oblivious of all the mantras....after some time I was nudged by my maasi...and I looked at her frowning....she gestured me to get up....then I realised it was time for sat-pheras.
I completed the pheras Like a walking  corpse. Then I sat down with that monster again. As per the rituals, He hold my hand under his and My maasi did my kanyadaan as she is the only living family that I have....tears were flowing through my eyes, however much I tried not to cry...but alas!
Then the pandit asked him to tie the mangalsutra....this is it!
I am a complete stone now!
He bent a little forward and tie the mangalsutra around my neck, and that pervert did not leave this chance, he brushed his thumb on my neck and collarbone taking the advantage of my veil. Argh! I hate him!

And it was time to apply the vermilion and fill my maang. He lifted my veil and for a fraction I thought I saw pain in his eyes, looking at my tears...but I wondered why.... didn't he know....I was hurt...I was threatened....I was scared....but soon his eyes turned red... emitting anger.... anyways I closed my eyes and he put vermilion and with this the pandit announced us as married. And my Hell had begin.

My crying never stopped and then suddenly he asked me to sign few papers. I had no courage to look upto him. I did as I was told....it seemed like  marraige certificates....but I knew it was my life time imprisonment.
I was lost in my thoughts when I felt a pull on my arms....it was him....He looked angered but I did not care...then he ordered me to smile and a photographer took few pictures.

My maasi came to us and gave her blessings. She asked that monster to take care of me and keep me happy.
As if he would.!
He said he would take care of me till his last breath!
Huh Liar! He just wanted to satisfy his ego....and he did! I know all his love claims are as fake as him. I felt disgusted and a rush of nausea hit me... everything became blurry....i was about to fall ...and next thing I remember I was hold by something strong!

Raghuvendra's pov

Today is the day, I will be joined with my love for eternity.
My Rose is going to come into my life officially. She would be MINE....I would keep her in my arms....in my room....at our house...I will have a Family of my own.....finally mom would be happy!

I am so excited....I can't even wait for another second to see her in her bridal wear. I know she would look stunning but I want every ounce of her for myself. Today she is going to get ready for me. Call me selfish but I am going to treasure her with my life.

I asked my men how much time they would take to reach the temple. I was already here waiting impatiently for her. I did not inform mom or Siddharth about this wedding....I know I will have to give a lot of explainations but who cares...for her I would fight the world.

My thoughts came at halt when I heard the blissful sound of anklets.
I knew she was here!

I looked at her direction to get a glimpse of my beauty queen but she was covering her face in her veil. I could only see a little of her lips. Gosh! They are so soft....I can't get enough of them ever! I know I stole her first kiss without her consent but I don't care! She has to understand my dominance over her!
I could also see a little of her nose ring which touched her bottom lips...she was a gorgeous creation of the almighty and I am dying to see her face.

We sat together and I couldn't move my eyes from her.....all the rituals were performed by the pandit. He asked us to stand up for sat-pheras. I got up but rose was sitting there like a statue. I was not pleased with her reluctance but I thought I would let this go as I had forced her into this marriage. I know she is not happy about us but soon, I will make her believe in my love. We completed our pheras and her maasi did the kanyadaan...that was the first time in this day that I touched her. My heartbeats quickened just at that simple touch.
I was then asked to tie the mangalsutra and I did that but then my mind was clouded to do some mischief...it will help her divert her petty mind. So, I intensely rubbed my thumb over her silky neck and her collarbone. I could feel She stiffened at my touch.
Then, I had to apply the vermilion...wow! This was the time I was waiting for....now I would be able to see her Angel face.
But what I saw broke my heart....but it angered me too. She was crying badly...tears were all over her face....she closed her eyes and I sighed....and applied the vermilion. She looked complete by just adding a pinch of vermilion on her parting.

Finally she was MINE!
and now, I would fight the world for her happiness!
I know it's not going to be easy to win her heart... especially when she is full of hatred for me. But I will not give up and I will make sure to win her Love!
I will mend her broken heart!

Time to become all Mine, rose!
