A dead body of a married woman which was adored in a beautiful bridal dress and jewellery was cremated by her husband after performing the last rituals. Everyone present in the crematorium were mourning over the loss of her. The people who couldn't even see her in pain because of a small cut were now seeing her being burnt into ashes infront of their own eyes.

Lady: Beta, iski aakhri ichha ka kya? Bhale hi galti se lekin tune apne khoon se uski maang bhari hai. Is baat ko na hi ham andekha kar sakte hai aur na hi bhagwaan karenge. Faisla tujhe hi karna hai lekin sahi waqt par use anjaam dena hoga.

Listening his mother's words, anger raised in him. He went towards the girl who was standing like a lifeless body. The only proof of her being alive was her breathes and the tears which were flowing continuously through her eyes. The girl which was beautiful in her own simplicity was looking pale with no energy left in her body. Her eyes which used to attract everyone with it's spark were red and swollen due to the unending tears. Her nose which was quick in turning red due to her anger was now in the deepest shade of red due to continuously crying. Her cheeks which were as soft as rose petals were now wet with her tears and stained with tear marks. Her pink lips which never left the beautiful smile has turned white as if the entire blood from her body has been sucked out. Her straight and silky hair which everyone felt to touch and relish the smoothness of it were messed up.

He held her hand and made her stand infront of the burning body. She looked at it and then lowered her gaze. He held her hand in a tight grip and took rounds around the fire.

Lady: Kya kar rahe ho? Band karo ye sab!
Man: Stop it! You can't do this. Galat kar rahe ho tum.

Everyone present there tried to stop him from getting into a beautiful relationship in an inauspicious way.

"Mai vachan leta hun ki tumhare har khushi ka dhyaan rakhunga ki wo tumhe kabhi na mile."
He took the first vow after the first round around the fire.

"Mai vachan leta hun ki iske har kadam par iska saath dunga taaki use har kadam par gira sakun."
He took the second vow.

"Mai vachan leta hun ki iske alaawa kisi aur aurat ki taraf nazar utha kar bhi nahi dekhunga kyunki ab mera poora dhyaan iski zindagi barbaad karne me hoga."
He took the third vow.

"Mai vachan leta hun ki ise kabhi apni patni ka darjah nahi dunga aur na hi kabhi iski izzat karunga."
He took the fourth vow.

"Mai vachan leta hun ki iske har sukh dukh me iska saath doonga taaki iske har sukh ko dukh me badal sakun aur har dukh me ise aur takleef de sakun."
He took the fifth vow after completing the fifth round.

"Mai vachan leta hun ki har pal isse nafrat karunga."
He took the sixth vow.

"Mai vachan leta hun ki apne har vachan ko poori shiddat se nibhaunga. Kisi bhi vachan ko poora karne me koi kami nahi chhodunga."
He took the last vow after the last round around the fire.

Then he cut his thumb finger and filled her hairline with his blood where already his dried blood was present. He took out a mangalsutra from his pocket which belonged to his first wife and tied around her neck.

"Ho gaya Maa, aap aur wo jo chahti thi kar diya maine. Ab to aap ko sukoon mil gaya hoga aur ab uski aatma ko bhi shaanti mil jaayegi. To ab mujhe shaanti se rehne dijiye."
Saying this he left the ground leaving his newly wedded wife alone.

"Ab ghar chalo, aur kuchh bach gaya hai dekhne ko." His father spoke.

"Chaliye, aur bahu ko saath le chaliye." His mother said to her husband and they drove to their home.

No girl would have dreamt of being wedded while mourning for someone and going to her in laws house without her own husband. And no man would have dreamt of marrying the girl who has killed his wife.

"Chalo, mai tumhe uske kamre me le chalti hun ", his mother took her to his room and made her sit on the bed. "Beta kuchh to khalo, kal se tumne kuchh nahi khaya hai", she said to her with concerned filled voice but she denied her while shooking her head.

"Thik hai tum aaram karlo, wo bas aata hi hoga" she left the room.

At late night, he entered his room and when he saw her sitting on his bed his rage was uncontrollable. He stepped towards her and gripped her arms tightly giving her pain.

"Himmat kaise huyi mere kamre me aane ki tumhe? Koi haq nahi hai tumhara na hi mujh par aur na hi mere kisi cheez par."

"Ye to aapko mujhse shaadi karne se pehle sochna tha." She spoke for the first time in these 24 hours.

"Shaadi??? Tumne meri patni ka qatl kiya hai aur tumse shaadi kar ke mai tumhe us gunaah ka saza dunga. Samjhi tum??" He spoke to her with hatred.

"Kabhi nahi socha tha maine ki aap mere baare me itni ghatiya soch rakhte hai." She spoke while being irritated with his accusations.

"Maine bhi kabhi nahi socha tha ki tum meri patni ko, meri Antara maar sakti ho, Mrs. Guddan Akshat Jindal. Oops, or should I say, Dr. Guddan Akshat Jindal. Ek baar, sirf ek baar apne naam se pehle waale is shabd ke baare me soch leti tum. Ek doctor ho kar tumne apne hi patient ki jaan le li. Kaise kar sakti ho tum aisa? Answer me!!!"
He yelled on her making her flinch at his voice.

Guddan: Wo sirf aapki patni ya meri patient nahi thi, meri bhi .......

Akshat: Kuchh nahi thi wo tumhari. Koi rishta nahi tha tumhara usse. Agar hota to tum use nahi maarti.

Guddan: Aapke kuchh bhi kehne se sach nahi badalne wala.

Akshat: Sahi kaha tumne, usi tarah tumhare bhi kuchh kehne se kuchh nahi badalne wala. Tumne jo gunaah kiya hai wo nahi chhupega.

Guddan: Jo sochna hai sochiye. Mujhe aapko koi safaayi nahi deni.

Akshat: Aur mujhe bhi kuchh nahi sunna.

He held her hand and dragged her out of his room. She tried to get out of his hold but with each try his grip grew tighter.

His parents saw him and tried to stop him but ignoring them he moved out of the house. He went to the servant quarters outside the house and threw her on the floor. It wasn't even a room. It only had a roof surrounded with only two side walls. All the servants along with his parents were witnessing the scene.

Mahesh(Akshat's father): Dimaag kharaab hai kya Akshat tumhara? Ye koi tareeqa hai apni patni ke saath bartaav karne ka?

Akshat: Patni?? Dad, ye mere patni ki qaatil hai meri patni nahi aur iski sahi jagah hai ye.

Jaya(Akshat's mother): Beta, agar tum ise apne kamre me nahi rakhna chahte to iska apna room hai ghar me. Ye yahaan kaise rahegi.

Akshat: Ye yahin rahegi aur koi kuchh nahi kahega. Dad, Mom, aap log please andar jaaiye. Ye mere aur Guddan ke beech ka maamla hai ham log aapas me dekh lenge.

Mahesh: Ye baat ab sirf tum donon ke beech ki nahi hai. Ab ye hamare ghar ki bahu hai. Aur usse pehle maine ise apni beti maana hai. Aur mai kisi ko bhi apne beti ke saath is tarah pesh aane nahi dunga, apne sage bete ko bhi nahi.

He picked Guddan from the floor and was moving towards his house but Akshat holds her hand and stops her.

Akshat: Dad, ye kahin nahi jayegi, yahin rahegi.
Mahesh: Mai tera baap hun aur tu meri baat maanega. Chhod Guddan ka haath!!

Akshat being stubborn holds her hand tightly and again dragged her to the corner.

Mahesh: Akshat!!!
He yelled on him with his authoritative voice.

Guddan: Uncle, Aunty, aap log please jaaiye. Mai sab manage kar lungi.
Mahesh: Lekin Beta.....
Guddan: Uncle please, mere liye.

They nodded and left from there leaving Akshat and Guddan alone.

Akshat: Kya lagta hai tumhe, ye sab naatak kar ke tum mujhe mana logi. Maine faisla kar liya hai ki tum yahi rahogi aur mai ise badalne wala nahi hun.

Guddan: Thik hai, to jaaiye andar. Mere saath apna time waste kyun kar rahe hai. Aur ek baat, ye koi naatak nahi kar rahi thi mai, aapko to apne Maa Baap ki fikar hai nahi, to unki baat to maanne se rahe. Isiliye maine unhe apne tareeqe se mana liya.

He pinned her to the wall and held her chin tightly making his fingers to imprint on her fair skin which brought tears in her eyes.

Akshat: Tumhe mere family ke baare me kuchh bhi sochne ki zaroorat nahi hai. Jis ke baare me socha use to maar diya ab mere parents ko to zinda chhod do.

She pushed him back with all the strength she could muster up.

Guddan: Ho gaya na, jitna kuchh kehna tha keh chuke. Ab jaaiye yahaan se. Waise bhi aur bacha hi kya hai jo aap mujhe suna sake.

He left from there not before locking the grilled gate to prevent her from escaping.

She sat down on the floor hugging her knees and crying her heart out. She wasn't able to contemplate the turn of events of her life which occured in these few days.

"Mai kabhi nahi chahta tha ki tumhare saath aisa kuchh ho, lekin ab kuchh kar bhi nahi sakta kyunki tumne khud ye raasta apne liye chuna hai." A man spoke to her sitting outside the gate.

"Tumhe aisa kyun lagta hai ki mai apni zindagi ke liye aisa kuchh sochungi?" She questioned him.

"To phir kyun mana kiya tha mere rishte ko? Agar us din tumne mujhe reject nahi kiya hota na to aaj tum meri patni hoti aur Bhai tumhare saath aisa karne ke baare me soch bhi nahi sakte the." He replied her.

"Jo bhi hua so hua, ab mai Akshat ki patni hun aur tumhari Bhabhi, to ye sab sochna band karo, Parv." She informed her brother-in-law or rather instructed him to stay away from her.

"I loved you Guddan, I still love you and will always love you." He said to her with his determined voice.

Guddan: Parv, jaao yahaan se. Aur doobara kabhi ye sab baatein mat kehna.

He left from there not before looking at her with love filled gaze.

"Kyun kiya aapne aisa? Kyun?? Mujhe akele is duniya me chhod kar chali gayi aap, Di. Pehle Mummy, Papa ne hame chhod diya. Unke baad aap hi to thi meri zindagi me ab aap bhi mujhe chhod kar chali gayi. Aur saath me apne pati ki nafrat mere liye chhod kar chali gayi. Kaise samjahun mai unhe ki maine kuchh nahi kiya hai. Mai kaise apni hi Di ki jaan le sakti hun. Aap ko takleef dena yaani khud ko takleef dena. Aap ki jaan lena yaani khud ki jaan lena."
She cried her heart out mourning on the loss of her sister who was the only one for her in this world.

P.S: So, here's the first chapter.
In case you have any confusion, I am here to clarify....

The main characters are :

Akshat and Guddan as you know and then,
Akshat's parents- Mahesh and Jaya.
Akshat's younger brother- Parv.
Akshat's first wife or Guddan's elder sister- Antara.

And pleaseeeee................
Don't judge Antara's character and don't hate her. She is already dead and made AKSHAN married after she left.

And remaining you will get to know as the story will proceed.
