Vibha gasped looking at Abhishek and the girl. Girl in wedding attire with flower garland and nuptial chain on her neck. Everyone looked at Abhishek and Aarya. Khushi saw her father and ran towards him.

Khushi (hugging his legs): Papa...

Abhishek took her in his arms. She kissed his cheek.

Siddharth (shocked): Bhai ye sab kya hai?

Abhishek: Andar aa kar baat kare?

No one said anything. Everyone let them in.

Abhishek shut the door behind him. He made Khushi sit on the sofa.

Vibha: Kya hai ye sab Abhishek?

Abhishek sighed. He was nervous and worried as well.

Abhishek: Umm... Jai kaha hai?

Avneet who was staring at Aarya. She looked at Abhishek.

Avneet: Jai? Vo aapke sath tha bhai. Aap batao kaha hai mera bhai?

Abhishek understood they were not aware of anything.

Reem: Bhai... Jai theek to hai na? Kaha gaya? Kya chal raha hai ye sab?

Abhishek: Umm... Jai apne ghar par hai.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He narrated everything. Everyone was shocked listening to him.

Siddharth (shocked): You are married to her?

Before Abhishek could have replied. They heard a knock on the door. Everyone was shocked to understand and open the door. Abhishek knew Jayant was at the door as he purposely asked him to come with Aarya's luggage. As this will take few minutes for him to come. In the meantime, he can explain his family. Not letting Jayant to create a misunderstanding between Abhishek and his family. Abhishek opened the door. They walked in.

Jayant: Namaste. Main Jayant. Aarya ka bada bhai.

No one gave heed to his introduction and even greeted him back. He felt angry but didn't react.

Everyone was quiet for a few minutes to digest everything. Khushi was looking at everyone. She jumped from the sofa and went towards Abhishek.

Khushi: Papa ice-ceam do.

She asked.

Abhishek (taking her in arms): Haa... Papa and Khushu ice-cream khane jayege.

Khushi nodded and pecked his cheeks.

Jayant (pointing at Khushi): Ye teri beti hai?

Abhishek: Haan.

Jayant: Haan kya haan? Iske rehte meri behan ki zindagi barbaad ho jayegi. Vo khud ek bachi hai. Vo kya dusri bachi ki maa banegi?

Abhishek (gritting his teeth): Maine bola teri behan ko mujhse shaadi kar? Aur vo bachi hai to bachi ki shaadi hi kyun karai? Itni akal to khud me honi chaye. Aur rahi baat maa banane ki. Meri beti ke liye uski maa aur uska papa. Dono main khud hoon. Nahi hai kisi aur ki jarurat.

Jayant (shout): Teri beti yaha nahi rahegi. Ye yaha rahi to Aarya nahi rahegi.

Abhishek: Leke jaa apni behan ko. Darwaza saamne hai.

He ordered pointing at the door. Jayant stared at him for a few seconds. He took out a gun from his pocket and pointed it at Khushi.

A shiver ran down Abhishek's spine. He got scared of course. So, Khushi did. Tears brimmed in her eyes.

Jayant: Ye musibat hi khatam. Na rahega bass na bajegi bansuri.

Before Abhishek could react. Avneet snatched Khushi from his arms and a gun from Jayant's hand.

Avneet: Meri beti se apni nazare door rakh. Varna dono aankhe nikal kar Dustbin me phek dugi.

She said pointing her index finger towards him. Jayamt held her wrist.

Jayant: Sheher ki-

Abhishek held Jayant's wrist.

Abhishek (warning tone): Chod usko.

Avneet: Bhai aap choro isko. Main dekhti hoon.

She eyed him. Abhishek left Jayant's wrist. Avneet moved in a circular motion in such a way, making Jayant lost his grip on her wrist. Jayant fell to the ground.

Avneet: Civil officer se panga lene ka natija yehi hota hai. Darti nahi main tujhse ya tere baap se. Jaa apne gaav aur bol apne baap ko jail jane ki tayari kare. Galat ladke se shaadi karai hai tum logo ne apni beti ki. Chal nikal yaha se.

Siddharth (smirked): Jail tu aur tera baap hi nahi. Pura gaav jayega. Ye shaadi to accept hone se rahi Gunpointnt par forced hai shaadi to. Aur haa teri line main puri kar deta hoon Sheher ke ladkiyo ki zabaan bahut teez chalti hai par dimak usse bhi double. Unko tujh jaise ladko se ladne ke liye kisi mard ke shahre ki koi jarurat nahi hoti.

He said with a proud smile on his lips for Avneet.

Aarya (held Avneet's arm): Ma'am please mujhe aapse do minute akele me baat karni hai. Please ma'am.

She requested. Still, her face was covered with a veil.

Avneet looked at Abhishek. He nodded. Avneet looked at Vibha. She too nodded.

Avneet: Theek hai chalo. She walked towards the Room. Aarya followed her. Vibha too went behind.

Avneet (rude tone): Kya hai?

Aarya (nervous): Ma'am please mat karo aese. Mera Matlab hai mat maro dada ko aur jail ka nahi karo abhi please.

Avneet: Theek hai. Sun li maine tumhari baat. Par karke to main rahugi. Maa chalo yaha se isko bakwaas hi karni hai.

She was about to leave.

Aarya: Ma'am... Abhishek sir ki wife zinda hai.

Avmeet rolled her eyes and Vibha gasped.

Avneet: Ab ye naya jooth. Koi planning and ploting to kar hi li hogi tumne apne gaav walo ke sath.

Vibha: Ek minute Avni beta. Vo tbori janti hai Vaish ke bare me kuch bhi. Kuch bol rahi hai to maybe sach ho. Ek baar sun to le bache. Haa mana ye logo me galat kiya hai Abhi ke sath par galat to iske sath bhi hua hoga na.

Avneet: Okay theek. Par pehle apna ghungat hatao.

She ordered. Aarya took off her veil.

Avneet's POV: Huh! Face expressions help kar sakte hai maybe iska sach ya jooth pakdne me.

Avneet: Bolo.

Aarya looked at Avneet and then at Vibha.

Aarya: Ma'am hum jab yaha aa rahe tha to beech me Dada ko bukh lagi to gaadi rukvai unhone and Nasta lene gaye. Tab...

Flashback:

After Jayant left only Abhishek and Aarya were in Car.

Abhishek (turning to Aarya): Mujhe tumse kuch jaruri baat karni hai.

Aarya: Yes sir?

Abhishek (sighed): Look this marriage is totally forced for me. Mujhe death accept karne me koi dikkat nahi thi rather than marrying a second time. I had to choose this option as meri wife ki recently death hui hai. Kuch mahine pehle and humari 4yrs ki beti hai. Main selfish nahi banna chahta tha. Meri beti mera ghar par wait kar rahi hai. Mujhe uske liye jeena hai. Usko bade hote dekhna hai. Uski life me maa ki kami hai. Mujhe dono maa aur baap ka pyaar dena hai. Main usse akele nahi chor kar jaa sakta. Mera matlab haa meri family hai meri maa, bhai, bhai ki wife. Vaish means meri wife ki family. Sab hai uske pass par still. Main ye shaadi nahi accept kar sakta. Mere bhai ki wife Civil officer hai. Vo seedha inko jail me daal kar sab theek kar degi. Phir hum dono divorce le lege. Aur maine apni wife se promise kiya hai main sirf aur sirf uska hoon. To main vo vada bhi nahi todna chahta. Humare pyaar ke vade kabhi joothe nahi the.

He said last line with small smile, remembering Vaishnavi.

Aarya: Sir ye shaadi ke liye dono ko force kiya gaya. Ye shaadi to shaadi hai hi nahi. Police complain hone ke baad sab jail me chale jayege. Hum aapke sath hai jaise aapko sahi lage. Ek request kare?

Abhishek was shocked listening to her words. He composed himself.

Abhishek: Haa?

Aarya: Sir humare liye Sheher naya hai. Hum akele hoge sheher me. Sirf aap hume kahi naukari dila de to? Hum khud kama kar khud apni zindagi banayege. Ye humara sab se bada sapna hai. Aap sirf itni madad kar dijiyega hume naukari dila de.

Abhishek: Tum uski tension mat lo. Tumhari puri studies, rehne ki zimedari meri. Sheher naya hai. Tumhe hum sheher me akele bilkul nahi chorege.

Before Aarya could reply. Jayant came back. Abhishek and Aarya sighed closing the topic.

Flashback end.

Aarya: Hum jab yaha aaye to bahar ek photo dekhi diwar par. Us photo par phoolo ki mala thi. To samajh aaya shayad vahi hai Sir ki wife. Aur hum jante hai vo zinda hai.

She turned and saw Vaishnavi's photo frame on night stand.

Aarya (taking photo): Yehi hai sir ki Wife? Bahar inki photo par hi mala thi.

To be continued...

How's the chapter? Boring or interesting?

Is Vaishnavi alive?

Aarya is trapping Abhishek and his family?
