Recap: Akhil confess his prank on being paralyzed. Later informs everyone to get married the next day.

***********************

Jhaanvi was standing in the terrace drying her wet hair that was pulled to her front. Akhil entered the terrace to smoke and saw Jhaanvi standing facing the other side. Her deep back blouse exposing her milky skin with drops of water indicating she had just bathed. This was the first time he had seen her skin exposed other than her waist he had seen on engagement day. This was the first time he was seeing her long hair which was always covered behind her duppata that covered her face. She had long hair that reached below her waist.

The cigarette fell on the floor escaping his fingers. Like a moth attracted to flame he took slow steps towards her and stood behind her. Jhaanvi gasped when he sensed someone's presence behind her. May be she knew him with his masculine cologne that hit her nostrils. Scared to look at him she stood froze.

Akhil leaned and traced her bare back with his knuckles to her shoulder. Jhaanvi felt goosebumps and shut her eyes tightly. Akhil kissed her shoulder and bit her earlobes gently. He let his forefinger along her jawline and touched her soft plump lips.

He held her wrist and turned her to face him. Her eyes were still closed. His hands snaked around her waist under the saree. She gulped to his warm touch. He leaned towards her and gently pecked her lips. He tightened his hold her waist to enter her mouth and she gasped saying his name.

Akhil jerked hearing his name but saw Kabir infront of him. He turned around and saw that he was still in bed and Kabir's face was close to him. Suddenly Kabir pushed Akhil and got down from the bed.

Kab: Idiot, how long should I call you ? What were you dreaming rascal. You would have stole my first kiss damn it. Just missed it god. Go get ready to dive in hell. Your mother is screaming to leave early. Its getting late.

Akhil went to the washroom and shut his eyes remembering the dream.

Akh Mv: Oh god, this girl is going to kill me. Idiot Kabir, I will revenge you for spoiling my dream. But summa solla koodadhu semmaya irundha. Nejathula eppadi iruppa. ( But she was damn beautiful and how would she be in real ) Ayyo sandali kanavula vandha kooda enakku problem kuduthutu pora. ( Even in my dreams she doesnt fail to give me  problem)

Akhil was standing in the shower masturbating imagining his dream.

At Liya's place her entire residence was decorated with flowers and the living was arranged for the marriage. A priest was present taking care of the arrangements. Kamini and Rajendran were dressed and looking at the arrangements. Jhaanvi was dressed in the saree Akhil had selected without her knowledge and she was helping the priest. Sita was in the kitchen with maids preparing special food for the marriage. Liya was in her room with her friends getting ready for the marriage.

The sound of the car honk made Kamini and Rajendran rush to the entrance to welcome the groom family. Akhil was dressed in a silk dhothi and silk shirt. Kamini called Sita and they took arti for Akhil and invited him inside. 

Immediately Akhi's eyes landed on Jhaanvi who was helping priest. Even today she had a shawl on her head covering her face. He saw her wearing the peacock green saree he had chose for her and felt so happy.

Priest checked the time and called the groom. Sheela made Akhil sit infront of the havan. Rajendran came forward and placed the garland around Akhil's neck and applied sandal tika on his forehead.

Sheela went to Liya's room and saw her dolled up beautifully.

Shee: Oh my god, my daughter in law is the best and the most beautiful. 

Liya: Thank you aunty. Where is Akhil ?

Shee: No hurries Liya, he is at the pooja. I came to take you to him. Shall we go ?

Liya: Love you aunty. Yes we shall go.

Sheela took Liya's hand and they walked down the stairs. Akhil saw Liya dressed beautifully and she smiled at him. Sheela made her sit beside Akhil and placed the garland around her neck.

Shee: They are made for each other. Perfect couple.

Priest started the rituals and Akhil, Liya were doing everything. Ram entered the living in a rush and stood next to Jhaanvi who smiled seeing him which did not go unnoticed by Akhil.

Ram: Why such a hurry in getting married ? Akhil wanted to get in trouble so quickly it seems. He spoke in a low voice that only Jhaanvi could hear.

Jha: Shut up. Everyone is here. I will kill you.

Ram: Happy independence day rose bud.

Jhaanvi smiled at his words and sighed him to look at the wedding. Akhil was gritting his teeth looking at Jhaanvi and Ram standing close.

Kam: Jhaanvi go bring grandpa. time is up 

Jhaanvi and Ram went towards grandpa's room and brought him in a wheel chair. Akhil smiled looking at grandpa and his eyes fell on Jhaanvi's hand that were caressing grandpa's hair.

Priest gave the nuptial thread placed on a coconut to Kamini to get blessings from everyone. All blessed the nuptial thread and Kamini returned it to the priest. He took the nuptial thread and gave it to Akhil and signed the music troop to start the auspicious music and they did started the music but Akhil stood from his place and walked away from there.

Liya called Akhil and stood following him. Before anyone could question, Akhil took quick strides and tied the nuptial thread around Jhaanvi's neck who was standing next to grandpa.

All were shocked except for Kabir and Sanjay who were happy that Akhil ditched Liya. They threw the flower and rice over Akhil and Jhaanvi earning deadly stare from Sheela. 

Jhaanvi was at extreme shock and Sita hugged Jhaanvi who sat on the floor crying. Liya screamed on top her lungs scaring the priest who ran away from there. She rushed to Akhil and held his collars angrily.

Liya: why did you do this ? you cheated me. You can't do this to me. 

Akhil removed her hands from his shirt and took a step back looking at her.

Akh: I gave the taste of your own medicine Liya. I thought you were different from other girls that you will give importance to people and their love but no. You were a spoiled rich brat who doesn't even care for others. 

Raj: Mind your words blaming my princess after what you have done. I can kill you or least can get you behind bars for betraying my daughter you scoundrel.

Rajendran raged towards Akhil to slap him but Chakravarthy stopped his hands.

Akh: You should have asked about your daughter's decision on marriage when I was told be paralyzed. She did not want to get married to me. 

Liya: I told you, I decided in a haste and I asked sorry for that. Still you betrayed me.

Akh: What if I get some major problem after marriage. And what is the guarantee that she will not leave me. What I did was right for everyone.

Shee: Akhil, if you really did not want to marry Liya, you could have stopped the marriage. Why did you marry this ugly being ?

Akh: Mom, you can't speak of her in that way. She is my wife now.

Liya: Whom you call your wife. This ugly devil, she is just a maid to me to clean my home and my foot. She will be my maid always.

Akh: That was until the second before I tied the nuptial thread around her neck. Now she is not your maid but my wife.

Kabir whistled hearing Akhil's voice earning a slap from Sheela.

Akh: Kamini aunty I m sorry. I know you are a kind person and what I did with your daughter is wrong but tell me if you had a son will you get him married to someone like Liya after hearing her harsh words.

Kamini stayed calm and sobbed at the happenings.

Liya: I will not let you live with this bitch. This marriage is not valid. I will snatch the nuptial thread from her neck and lets get married. We are made for each other.

Liya moved towards Jhaanvi and grabbed the nuptial thread in her hands but Sita and Kamini held her hands and stopped her from doing it. Jhaanvi hugged Sita tightly and sobbed. Ram was sitting next to Jhaanvi and caressing her hair. Akhil's heart ached to see Jhaanvi crying.

Kam: Liya, marriage is a holy ritual and that has happened between Akhil and Jhaanvi. No one can change the fact that they are husband and wife.

Liya screamed and destroyed all the arrangements and ran away from there. Her friends followed her. Grandpa who was watching everything silently, called Jhaanvi and Sita made her look at him.

Grand pa: Jhaanvi, I m so happy you are married now. Come here my child.

Jhaanvi slowly moved to grandpa and he called Akhil next to her. Grandpa got some flowers from Kabir and threw over them to bless. Akhil touched his feet and took blessings.

Kam: Jhaanvi, get his blessings.

Jhaanvi fell on grandpa's feet and he blessed her. She hugged him and cried over his shoulder.

GP: Don't worry Jhaanvi and don't cry. You are married now. Akhil take care of her. She is my grand daughter and I will question you. Jhaanvi go with Akhil and take blessings from others.

Rajendran kicked the plates and left from there. Akhil and Jhaanvi fell on Kamini's feet and she blessed them. Kamini hugged Jhaanvi and both cried.

Kam: Don't cry Jhaanvi but I m sorry. Give me sometime to relieve you from the bound. please. 

Jhaanvi nodded and Kamini took Jhaanvi's hand and placed in Akhil's hand.

Kam: Akhil, I know you are good. Though I m worried for Liya, I cannot deny the happiness for my Jhaanvi's mariage. Please take care of her. She is very fragile and too good for everyone. 

Akh: I will take care aunty.

They took blessings from Sita and Jhaanvi hugged her crying vigorously.

Sita: Jhaanvi, don't cry. I don't know where would this lead. I will pray for you every second of my life. Don't keep all your worries within you. Your mother is here. You can come to me anytime. I will take care of you.

Ram: rose bud, you know right. I m there for you always. I will support you anytime. 

Akhil and Jhaanvi moved to Sheela who showed her hands to stop them from falling at her feet.

Shee: I will never accept this marriage or accept this ugly one as my daughter in law.

She turned and walked away from there. Later they fell on Chakravathy's feet and he blessed them.

Chak: Akhil, I wonder if all these problem will settle anytime soon. Especially your mother. But you decided your fate and married her. Better keep in mind to take care of her for the rest of the life. A true man is known from the way he lives his life and treats his wife. I believe my son is gentleman.

Akhil nodded his head and next Kabir and Sanjay hugged him happily and wished Jhaanvi who still sobbing.

Kab: Jhaanvi, don't cry. We are there to take care of you. We will be good brothers from now on. So Mr. Akhil chakravarthy at this moment me Kabir is divorcing you from our friendship and taking the role of Jhaanvi's brother.

San: Me too. 

Cha: Akhil, I m leaving with your mom. She is outside. Bring Jhaanvi home. And Sita ji, I will not promise that everything will be fine. Sheela is under shock and will take time. But we will be there to take care of your daughter. you can come anytime to visit her. 

Kam: Chakravarthy sir, she is like a daughter to me and I will do everything that a daughter receives in her wedding. you can demand anything for the marriage.

Chak: Chakravarthy's family is capable of providing everything for their family. Now Jhaanvi is my daughter so you need not worry. I will take my leave now.

Akhil was sitting on the worn out sofa in the staff quarters where Sita and Jhaanvi lived. Jhaanvi was inside the kitchen crying on Sita's shoulder.

Jhaa: Maa, I m scared. Please I will stay with you. I don't want to go.

Akhil's heart broke when he heard Jhaanvi's words and ran his fingers through his hair in frustration.
