As decided harsh and kishore met the next day. They put forward all the clauses they want in this deal and talked about the further details of the marriage.

It was fixed that before marriage there will be only one function held that is, the engagement and the bride and groom won't meet each other before that, as said by kishore knowing sanyukta's past stunts.

This news broke as a blast in both the houses.

Sanyukta was getting restless after getting this peice of info, she was burning in anger seeing her mother hopelessly following her father's instructions.

"Aap humare saath aisa kese kar sakte hain papa. Aisa kya bigada hai humne aapka Jo aap hume yaha se bhagane ke liye itne excited hue ja rhe hain. At least hume milne toh dijiye uss ladke se kisse humari shadi ho rhi hai" said sanyukta in pure frustration.

"Hum ache se jante hain ki agar tumhe usse milne diya toh Kuch bhi karke usse bhaga dogi. Iss baar hum woh galti nhi karenge" said kishore in a stern tone.

"Hum ghar chhodeke bhaag jayenge" she cringed.

"Khabardaar Jo koi bhi aisi harkat ki toh. Dushman nhi hai tumhare acha hi chahenge tumhara. Tumhe humari kasam hai yeh shadi bina kisi drame ke karlo" kishore said in a no-more-argument tone.

Sanyukta ran to her room and buried her face in the pillow. She didn't even bother to ask her future husband's name. She felt a hand on her hair. As she turned it was her mother.

"Kab tak chup rahengi aap. Aaj tak aapne unhe kuch nhi bola aur aapki wajah se humne bhi nhi bola. Ab toh sawal humari zindagi ka hai, abhi bhi kuch nhi bolengi aap?" Sanyukta let out her years old complaint.

Her mother just looked away and sanyukta chuckled sarcastically at her helplessness.

"Hum bhi kisse bol rhe hai. Arree jinhone puri zindagi chup reh kar guzaar di woh ab kya bolengi. Aap jaiye please akhir hume apni shadi ki tayaariyan bhi toh karni hai aur haan please khush ho jaiye aakhir aapki aafat Jo tal rhi hai" sanyukta suppressed her tears.

"Beta mai toh bas itna hi bolungi ki tumhare papa kabhi tumhare liye galat nhi chunenge. Hume toh lagta hai ki yehi ladka tumhara asli jeevan saathi hoga aur ek din tum apne papa k shukr maanogi." Her mother said and left shuting the door behind her while sanyukta just stared at the closed door with helplessness.

Same was the case in the shekhawat mansion. Randhir was tired of fighting with his father on this matter.

"Hum aakhri baar bol rhe hai ki hum yeh shadi nhi karenge. Arree aise kese kisi se bhi shadi karle. Waise bhi hume nhi karni hai abhi shadi" randhir said angrily.

"Yeh shadi toh tumhara bhoot bhi karega. Hum bhi dekhte hai ki kaise nhi karte tum shadi. Dekho beta tumhari maa bhi yehi chahti thi ki tumhari shadi kisi achi ladki se ho, isse uski aakhri ichha samajh ke pura kardo." Harsh tried to emotionally blackmail him.

"Aur aap chahte hain ki hum aapki iss baat par yakin kare. *chuckles lightly* 8 saal ke the hum jab unki maut hui thi aur unki aakhri ichha direct humari shadi ki. Bahut badiya.
Waise aapne tab toh kaha tha ki unki aakhri ichha thi ki aap apni renuka sanyal se shadi karle aur aapne iss shadi se bas unki ichha puri ki thi" randhir narrowed his eyes dramatically at his father.

Harsh was speechless for a while and looked here and there to search for an answer but got none. As randhir proceeded towards his room to celebrate his victory the final bomb was dropped on him.

"Thik hai maante hai ki yeh vandana (his mom) ki aakhri khwahish nhi thi par chahti toh woh yehi thi. Kam se kam apni maa ki khwahish hi puri kardo. Woh ladki bhot achi hai tumhe khush rakhegi ek baar humari baat maanlo beta. Tumhe vandana ki kasam." He again started his drama and this time it kinda worked and randhir just shot him a glare and left from there.

Even he didn't ask any details of his would be wife. He was in his room busy romancing his first love I.e. the punching bag. He stopped as the bag finally fell down. He was huffing badly, he went towards the big portrait hung in the middle of his room.

"Aap dekh rhi hai naa maa. Kya kar rhe hai yeh log. Aap hi bataiye aise kaise hum kisi bhi ladki ko apni zindagi mei jagah dede. Woh bhi aisi ladki jisse hum pehle kabhi mile bhi nhi. Aap kyu nhi hai yaha, aap kabhi nhi hoti jab hume aapki zarurat hoti hai." He said talking to his mother's soul.

In the other room there was a person happy at this, that person was none other than renuka. She was happy that now randhir will get married and get busy in his life giving relief to her and her son. The second reason of her happiness being, her son, rehan was returning from New York tomorrow after his month long holiday.

It was decided that the engagement will be held two days after and the marriage in the following week. The parents were happy for their own reasons and started preparing for the big day while the children didn't show any emotions just followed everything mechanically.

Both were caught up in their agony. Both were forced to get hitched to a completely unknown person.

Let's see where would this forced marriage lead them.
