Song:- Duaa (Shanghai.)

At some point, you have to realize that some people can stay in your heart
not in your life...

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

Third POV.

"Stay the fuck away from...MY WIFE.."

Arjun was seeing red, he was so furious...

And somewhere.....jealous.

The way Anaya was hugging Abhimanyu Mehra as her life depends on it. She didn't care about anyone and that angered Arjun up to no extent. He marches towards them and yanks her back yelling at Abhi. He held her possessively by her waist.

Wife.....

Abhi was in shock, he looks at Anaya but after looking at her attire and vermilion in her head he stumbled back and took the support of the nearby wall. Veer looks like he was hit by any storm, marching toward Arjun he yanks back Anaya...

"Stay away from my sister you bastard...."

Turning to Anaya he cup her face and said,

"Monkey....baby what's all this what the hell is he saying....tell me..."

Anaya was looking down and crying...

"Tell me Anaya what the fuck is all this....." He yells at her.

Rana Udhav comes there and said.

"I suggest you keep your voice down...young man.....you are talking to Rajvansh's daughter-in-law.....let's go inside. We are here to talk to your family....." His heavy voice made Veer look in the direction of other members present there.

He left Anaya with a jerk and Vedika immediately hold Anaya. Veer marched towards Krish who was looking ashamed...

"Krish what's all this....why is your brother calling my sister his wife....why is your family here....its a joke right.....tell me dammit....why are you quiet...." He yelled.

Abhi was still looking at Anaya with an unbearable look. She was looking down guiltily.

"Veer let them in....Mr. Rajvansh is here for some reason....let them come...." Veer turned towards his father who had just come out and said all serious.

"Dad you don't know...what's this Arjun is calling Anaya.....he is calling...."

"I know about it Mr. Rajvansh had already contacted me yesterday night....you were out that's why I didn't tell you....."

He turned toward the Rajvansh family and politely said,

"Please come in....we have a lot to talk about....."

He welcomed them in Veer left Krish with a jerk and turn to leave, but stopped in front of Abhi and put his hand on his shoulder, and walks in.

Everyone walks in with Vedika taking Anaya and Arjun was just behind her making sure she doesn't look at Abhimanyu. He sharply looks at Abhimanyu who was looking like a defeated person. Everyone was inside but Aashi stopped in front of Abhi and joined her hand and despite her father's warning she told him everything because she cannot fall more in her best friend's eyes. She tries to hug Abhi when he pushes her,

"Don't come any near me......I thought you will protect her in my absence but your family was plotting to destroy her....your love you say.....no Miss. Rajvansh you were a selfish bitch.....no I have to protect her from your's and your family's web..."

He march inside and halted listening to them Rana Udhav has already convinced her parents showing his power and reputation, of course, any family will select Rajvansh over anybody for their daughter, only Veer was opposing, he looks at Anaya who was silently crying. He already knew that she told her parents that she loves Arjun. That's what Aashi told him.

Veer saw her sister's sad face and knew something was not right and Abhi's gaze on her, confirmed his suspension the way Abhi was giving her a sympathetic look instead of a hating look, says that she was under pressure, he marched toward Arjun and punch him straight on his face,

"You fucker, you did something isn't it...you pressurized her didn't you.."

"Veer.." Krish said coming in between

"Don't...don't you dare Mr. Rajvansh...don't come in between...so this is how you fulfill your friendship...by destroying my sister's life.....by marrying her to your brother, by manipulating her without her family's content.....listen here you are no friend to me...so get lost...Anaya is not going anywhere.."

Arjun came forward and said in a strong voice.

"Dr. Gill...your sister loves me...I like her and we married....why are you making it a big issue..."

"I know my sister...and I know whom she loves..."

Anaya looked at her veerji and then to Abhi whose gaze confirm that he knows the truth she looked at him guiltily like asking for forgiveness.

"Mr. Gill....tell your son that we are relatives now.....this quarrel is not required...we came here to inform you all about our alliance and give your blessings to my son and Daughter-in-law.....because unfortunately, we all were not present at the wedding..."

Rana Udhav said to Dr. Vikram in a strong voice. Vikram stops Veer immediately. Anaya's mother did all the rituals she looks at her daughter who was looking sad but thought that it was because she was leaving them. After all, she married Arjun out of love. They were happy that she married such a successful man, They bid her farewell. When Anaya goes near Veer and joins her hand in front of him he hugs her and said,

"I promise you that you will be back home soon...to us and to the man who loves you like crazy....."

This made her cry more. When she pass Abhi he hold her hand and gave her a pleading look, she shook her head that's when Arjun hold her other hand and start dragging her.

Her hold on Abhi's hand got loosened and they got separated....a lone tear slipped from Abhi's eyes.

When Aashi passes him she fold her palm like asking for forgiveness. He was looking at Anaya who was going away from him and said,

"Please look after her she is so fragile....don't break her more...."

Aashi let out a sob hugging him by his shoulder.

They all left....leaving a defeated and hurt lover...

Abhi......

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

Sampoorna was so happy she ordered all the servants to decorate the whole house.

She welcomed the new couple as per their tradition and did all the rituals. Vedika helped her half-heartedly whereas Aashi was watching all this from a distance, they had a family dinner where Rana Udhav announce that they are going to India for Aashi's marriage after 2 days.

Anaya went stiff after listening to him, her hand Trimbles like she is going to have a panic attack. Arjun was watching her reaction keenly and to comfort her, he put his hand on her's to give assurance but she jerk it and gave him a sharp look.

They all went to their respective rooms. Anaya tries to ask Vedika for a separate room but before that Sampoorna herself takes her to Arjun's room and made her sit, looking at her lovingly she said,

"My Arjun is so lucky to have a beautiful bride.....Vedika told me about how humble and kind girl you are......and also that you are her gynecologist.....and one of the best doctors in that field......don't worry beta you can continue your work after some time..... I will talk to Rana Ji......hmm......"

Listening to Sampoorna Anaya was so overwhelmed...after so long someone thought about her....not even her parents.....in fact, they just believe in Rana Udhav's manipulative talk and without asking her just agreed with this so-called marriage. Only because these people are powerful.

She looks at Sampoorna who has a warm aura around her, she was so soft-spoken.....

"Tha...thank you so much, aunty...."

"Ohh...Bache....don't say that I am your Maa...now...OK....and I don't want any tear in my daughter's eyes...hmm..."

Anaya hug her seeking some warmth which she receive from Sampoorna....after some time Sampoorna was out of the room...

But now the main problem is this night with that Arjun. Hell will fall if she let him any closer to her.....she went near the window looking for nothing in particular. Her mind was constantly playing with Abhi's lost look, his sad eyes which held lots of questions....her eyes again filled with tears remembering him.

She never got a chance to tell him...her liking towards him...

And now she could never tell......

Something caught her eyes,

It was Abhi standing in front of the building premises looking directly into her eyes....she turn around....but again looks back...he was still there. She puts her palm on the glass panel like touching his face...he raises his hand like feeling her palm...his eyes were red due to tears...

Suddenly there was a knock on the door like someone is in a hurry, Anaya jumped to her place with sudden notice...the door keep banging she immediately clean her face and gave a look to Abhi moved to open the door.

Aashi was standing there looking scared,

"Let's go he is here for you....." She immediately pulls Anaya out and starts taking her quietly so no one will hear her.

Anaya was asking her to stop and tell her what was going on..but she ignore her and takes her out....soon they reach the main gate of the building....there was one garden on their premises, Aashi took Anaya inside it and said,

"Please don't hold back....go to him and talk...I will be here...go....and no matter what...I love you both more than anyone...."

Anaya looks in the direction Aashi was pointing and found Abhi there, her breath hitched....her feet were glued in her place...Aashi pushes her...Anaya wobble a little but a strong grip protect her from falling,

"Abhi....."

Without delay, he took her in his embrace.
