Recap: Akhil ties the nuptial thread on Jhaanvi's neck ditching Liya. 

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

Akhil was standing in the garden as Jhaanvi's words kept reverberating. His hair was a mess and he was pacing across frustrated and tensed. Kabir and Sanjay came in search of him and saw Akhil restless.

Kab: Enna mapla, tension ah irukka.  ( What Mr. bridegroom are you tensed ?) Where is my sister man ? Lets leave. Its late already and I m hungry. I wonder if people here will give food and sure your mother will also not provide food today. So lets eat out before going home for another drama.

Sanj: Where is Jhaanvi ?

Akhi: She is with her mother. She does't wants to come with me it seems. What should I do now ?

San: you should have thought about this before tying the nuptial thread around her neck.  We shall have the interrogation part later and you will have to answer our questions but right now we should leave.

Kab: Yes man, I need to check on the jasmine and rose flowers he asked yesterday. Right Akhil ?

Akh: You will die in my hand today for sure if you don't shut your mouth.

Kab: Unma kasakka dhan seiyum. ( truth is always bitter)

Jhaanvi was still crying hugging her mother. Sita wiped her tears and made her stand before the small of photo goddess Durga. she took of holy ash and kept on Jhaanvi's forehead.

Sita: Jhaanvi, listen to me. Fate does everything with a reason. The way your marriage happened may be wrong but he doesn't seem to be a bad guy. He is kind and caring to everyone. May be Liya and Akhil were not destined to be together and you were in his destiny. Promise me Jhaanvi, you will give this marriage a try and do everything to make this work. One day if you feel tired and wanted to give up, then come to me. I m there for you always. But remember god has given a new life to you and I believe this would change your life. You too believe in that and have a positive hope in it.

Jha: His mother never likes me. What will I do there ?

Sit: She is his mother and had some expectations so she will be angry. But my Jhaanvi knows to win anybody's heart with her love. Bear her and give a chance for this relation. 

Kamini entered the room and gave a box to Jhaanvi.

Kam: I m sorry Jhaanvi, to give you this box. I thought I would destroy this after Liya's marriage today but nothing seems to be right now. Give me some time please. I will make everything right. And I heard what Sita said. Don't worry about anything. Now you are Akhil's wife and I too believe you both are destined so give this marriage chance and try to work it. Sure you will have difficulties, please hold some patience but if you could not handle and take anymore, call me immediately. I will be there anytime to take you with me. 

Kamini called Akhil who was in the garden and they walked towards the car waiting. Sanjay started the car and Akhil, Kabir was waiting for Jhaanvi. Sita brought Jhaanvi towards the car and she was still sniffing.

Akh Mv: I know you hate me now. I did not know what to do. This was the only option left to end everything. I will give you the space and I myself need that to know my feelings for you. Staying together we can find the meaning of the unsaid thing going between us. I m sorry for choosing this way. Hopefully you will forgive me in future.

Sita: Sir, please take care of her. She is very naive and if there is any problem please call me. My daughter never knows to hurt anyone.

Akh: You can call me Akhil aunty. Please don't address me as sir. 

Sita smiled and nodded her head. She kept a small luggage of Jhaanvi's things in the car. Kabir took the passenger seat and Jhanvi sat in back seat. Akhil sat next to her and they started the car. Sita and Kamini returned home after the car left. Within a minute Jhanvi called Kabir and asked to stop the car.

Kab: What happened Jhanvi ?

Jha: Anna, I need to take something important. Can you please stop for a while.

Sanjay smiled and reveresed the car and Jhanvi ran to the quarters. Akhil got down and waited for her. But to his frusttation Liya came to him.

Nav: Akhil, answer me one question.

Akh: What is it Liya ?

Liy: Of all the girls, why did you marry her ? 

Akh: If I had married anyone else you would have got back to normal with in short time. But now you will regret for acting and playing with me because I married the person whom you loathe in all your life.

Liy: You made a bad decision Akhil, you chose her over me and I will make you both regret for this.

Liya turned and stomped away and Akhil sighed but his gaze fell on Jhanvi who was standing devastated hearing their conversation. Tears were rolling her cheeks.

Akh: I did not mean....

Jhaanvi showed her hands stopping him from speaking further. She wiped her tears.

Jha: I got the answers for all that happened today. Thank you.

Akhi Mv: Expected first conversation to be something romantic but its you, fucked up everything. Why should that bitch come now and spoil everything. 

Jhanvi sat in the car holding the bag she got from the quarters. Akhil pinched the bridge of his nose for the damage he had done now and saw Kabir giving him disgusting look. They entered the car and Sanjay started driving. 

On way Sanjay stopped the car and Kabir got some sandwiches and water for them. He gave one to all and gave one to Jhanvi too.

Jha: No anna, I m not hungry. Please.. ( No bro)

Kab: Jhanvi, I don't think you will get anything else to eat for today. you need some energy for the next show. Please have this and drink some water.

Jhanvi shook her head and leaned on the window sobbing in silent. Akhil returned his sandwich back to Kabir and started to scroll his mobile looking at Jhanvi from the corner of his eyes.

Soon they arrived at Akhil's home and Sanjay opened the door for Jhanvi. Kabir and Sanjay entered first and Akhil followed them. Jhanvi stood at the door in fear and hesitation. Akhil saw her standing behind and gently held her wrist and took her inside. Jhanvi saw his hold her wrist. The whole living was a mess with broken vase and furniture. All the flowers that decorated were thrown away. Sheela was sitting on the couch like a mad woman.

Chak: Akhil take Jhanvi to your room. Let her rest for sometime.

Akhil nodded his head and turned to climb the stairs but Sheela roared stopping them.

Shee: Don't you dare to take her to your room. I will never accept her.

Cha: Sheela, stop your madness. They are married now. If you like or not doesn't mater now. She is the daughter of our house now.

Shee: If you both decide against me then I will leave this house forever.

Akh: Amma, I m sorry . Please forgive me and try to understand why I did this. 

Shee: Any of your reason will not justify what you did Akhil. 

Akh: Punish me, beat me please maa. but forgive me after that. 

Shee: Definitely I will punish you. Go to your room now.

Chakravarthy sighed him to leave and Akhil turned and held Jhanvi's wrist to climb the stairs to his room. But Sheela stopped him.

Shee: I said you to go to room not her. She will not stay in your room. 

Chak: Sheela, you are doing too much.

She: Kabir, take her to the guest room.

Kabir looked at Chakravarthy who eyed to do as said. Jhanvi followed Kabir and Chakravarthy followed her. Akhil stood helpless watching her disappearing figure.

Chak: Jhanvi, she is very much upset. For time being you stay here. Let her cool and then we can work this out.

Kabir placed the sandwich and water on the table and both left Jhanvi. She sat on the floor and cried closing her mouth. Chakravarthy convinced Akhil to endure his mother's acts for some days and he nodded in acceptance. Kabir and Sanjay took leave and Akhil walked in his room and saw all the flowers that decorated his bed were crumbled and his room was also a mess. 

Sheela entered Jhanvi's room and snapped at her. Jhanvi was scared and stood trembling before her.

She: What charms did you do on him ? I will never let you near my son. Just because he tied this nuptial thread, you will not become my daughter in law. You will be just maid here to me. Don't forget you was a maid, you are maid and you will always be a maid. 

Sheela left the room and Jhanvi was crying looking at the photo of her with Sita. The day passed and everyone stayed in their rooms. Akhil was worried for Jhanvi and he came to the living couple of times to have a look at her but he could not see her or go to the guest room. At night all the lights were off and everybody was asleep but Akhil could not sleep in Jhanvi's thought, her tearful face haunted him.

Akhil came down slowly and moved towards the guest room. He saw Jhanvi lying on the carpeted floor. She was curled in a fetal position and his heart broke that instance looking at her. Her face was pale with traces of dried tears, she had not turned the AC on nor the fan was switched ON. There were sweat all over her face and neck. 

His guilt won over his hatred and he quickly switched on the AC and took the handkey from his pocket and wiped the sweats on her forehead. He took a blanket and covered her and sat on the bed watching her sleeping with a frown.

Akh Mv: I m so sorry, you had to go through all this beacuse of me. What are you doing to me ? I can't accept you nor leave you or see you with someone else. I fighting myself for you hope I will fix this soon.

He walked out closing the door and Jhanvi opened her eyes and fresh tears touched her cheeks from the corner of her eyes.

Jha Mv: Why does he behave like he cares for me. What should I do maa ?

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

A/N:

I know this was a little emotional. Both are confused on their own feelings and adding to that Jhanvi now thinks that Akhil married her only to revenge Liya and Akhil misunderstood that Jhanvi did not want to accompany him because she hated him but in real she was scared and confused on the happenings between them.

A new journey between them. Lets see how they realize their feelings and clear their misunderstandings. Sheela may be annoying but don't worry I will balance it with Akhil and Jhanvi moments and Kabir, Sanjay's humour. 

I will try my best to make you all enjoy this journey of Akhil and Jhanvi.
