Sujal comes in the room which was left for him. He dejectedly sits on bed.

He thought he'd be able to show her that he too can move on. And he doesn't need her but.....

The way she looked at him...telling him he deceived her even though she is the one sitting as someone else' faincèe. He feels guilty.

He married someone else. He wanted to show her that he too can do what she is doing. He too can play this game but....she makes him feel so....worthless and weak. Sujal' eyes brim. Damn! Why the hell it is still hurting.

Suddenly someone stands next to him.

He looks up.

Naina..

'You have an explanation- what happened?' She holds his hands..

He pulls them out.

'Nothing happened. I want to be alone. Please..'

He doesn't look at her. But he can assume she is glaring him. Same old ferocious Naina Ahaluwalia. Yes..he remembers  their first meeting. If not for their first meeting idea of marrying her would not have been popped in his mind.

But she is still a lieutenant? Two years have passed but she is not promoted. The way she handled things that time he was sure she would get a gallantry award!

Sujal looks up. She is rummaging through her stuff. Searching something.

He goes to her.

'What do You want?'

'Isolation.'

He is taken aback. He stumbles a step but soon composes himself.

Meanwhile Naina keeps throwing those clothes.

'Hold On. I'll ask my Secretary to arrange something for you. Just wait a sec.'

He looks in his contacts and is petrified.

Kashish was his secretary until engagement happened! And he was so shaken by news he never took new secretary.

'I dont need your help. I have something to wear but I am not getting the dupatta. I had put it somewhere.' She keeps on searching.

He is staring at his phone. Staring at contact...wondering how he lost himself slowly slowly....

'If you love her so much, why the hell she is there as Piyush' bride and you married me! Hold on.' He hears Naina next to him. She must have seen him looking at Kashish' pic so lost.

You married me because you wanted to teach her a lesson! Wow. So mindful of Mr. Grewal. You want to take on your girlfriend sorry ex-girlfriend,.so you married me! Wow...just wow...'

'We didnt break up. She one day told me...her marriage has been fixed with Piyush. And she told me this when all of us were leaving for Bharatpur to celebrate this marriage. I got to know all about this....two day itself. And...I begged her to consider our love. But she ....she decided to be the epitome of greatness because she does not want her father to face crude and antagonizing people in society.

I...I know Prof. Sinha. He would have agreed if Kashish were to talk him about us. But.....

It hurts...It hurts badly.' He is crying by now.

Naina has no idea whether to laugh that a girl just made a fool of a businessman. Not only she betrayed him but now she is marrying his brother! Wow.

She must be a intelligent nymph!

But It is not her place to say something to her.

She stands next to him....watches him crying. She offers him a glass of water. He sips it....

He cries bit more. She still hovering over him. Finally he is silent.

Both make their way downstairs. Sujal still not over kashiah and Naina searching for Piyush' mom so that she can show her her ID card. See..I am a lieutenant in army not a so called social elite like you!

Naina finds her sitting with Kashish. She wants to punch her bit refrains seeing sujal again same old weak Lover.

She shakes her head. Let him suffer for loving such girl! And yes..marrying her because he just wanted to play jealous jealous. Let him have it.

She is called by Sujal' parents. She is asked to sit and have henna on her hands. She does happily. Even if marriage was sham festivities should not be bogus. She enjoys her time there.

Some ladies try to poke her but she ignores. It is her first day. No need to make foes. Moreover these women are fiends. Bitches!

Her both hands donned with henna. She happily sees them. And her eyes also land on Sujal who like a puppy is gawking at kashish.

She cringes.

Love makes you puppy...but this guy has become roadside dog.

Way to go Sujal...carry on.

She retires soon to her room citing her fatigue. She has neither mood nor stamina to entertain lame people(Sujal involved).

Night falls. She is asked to appear because family lunch is going on. She makes her way downstairs after changing in something decent. She looks for Sujal..no where to be seen. Her stomach right now aching after smelling such cuisines.

Damn you Grewal!

She offers to serve which after some eye glares and whispering is accepted. She does her deed as she has no idea how long her stay with this bunch of dramatists is gonna be.

'Tumhe nahi khana Naina?' Her MiL asks?

But before she can reply someone else speaks up.

'Aree Sujal ko to aane do. Sujal ke bina thode hi khayegi.' Same lady. Her name is Vasu. Naina glares at her...in mind. Openly she gives a small smile.

She has to stay hungry till his highness arrives.

She is held by her MIL who gives her a ranting description about her marriage. She asks her why she married her son. She just replies that they were in a relationship. Keeping things subtle she dodges her suspicion.

She takes a tour of Palace..

Bharatpur Palace.

Enjoys her time with some snacks she stole from kitchen. She takes long strolls..watches things...decoration and show these people has put on. Soon she is tired. But she has no idea how to find her way back.

Well Help appears...in form Of Kashish.

Naina hesitantly asks her...

She is not enemy. No Naina..she is not enemy until she strikes first.

'Why you married sujal?'

Naina stares at her. But keeps mum.

'I know you guys have no relation.in fact he never met you before yesterday. What is cooking in your mind? Jist stay away from My Sujal.'

Naina waits until her room arrives.

'I know Sujal is yours but why are you telling me this? Why dont you tell this to whole family so that they can throw me out!'

She shuts the door on her face...

God help her! This family is insane. But she has no idea how families are now a days. Her parents died when she was a teen, in a car accident. Only Naveen was there. He looked after her. So only family she had was Naveen. But he too was framed...for being traitor...

This whole system is corrupt. In fact society is also no less. Every fibre of it is corrupt. Look at these people. And then look at Kashish. Then Sujal...What these people want to show? What they want to prove?

Someone wants to be a god by accepting her dad' wish in twentieth century while someone wants to prove how great of lover he is! Besides this he also wants to prove that he can avenge his heart break by breaking it even more! Wow.

Then that lady with poisonous tongue...Mrs vasu. The fruit of Kashish' smartness. Her future MIL is complete bitch. No offence but she is.

Naina lies on her bed.

This marriage has thrown her in a great melodrama but she herself accepted this because she will get what she wanted without using something more immoral or against her will.

At least she is not going to sell her soul for her brother. Though once she decided to do it when she was behind that red box...but Col. Chandra stopped her. He told her that autopsy report could be their ace. But that too didnt come easy.

Naina keeps on thinking.

Her phone rings. It is col. Chandra.

'Jai Hind Sir.'

'Jai Hind. Lt. So...How was your meet with him?'

She sighs..

'Sir. I am entangled in his web. He asked me to marry him because he has to make his ex jealous who is marrying his own brother. Sir. I dont think I need a border or battle to die. These people are enough.'

'Congratulation. Lieutenant.'

'Sir. You are mocking me.'

'Nahi beta. Now You have something so useful at your disposal. You are wife of Sujal Grewal....Just see who you are now.'

Naina laughs..

'Yes Sir. I know. I am a puppet for him to use. Now.'

'Naina....He was seen with defence minister two months ago. Do you know whom you married?'

'What! You said he was in touch of MG bhagat? I never knew he has this much connections!'

'He is making money...keeping many politicians alive with his donation. Do you think he will be a mere businessman? Do you?'

Naina is silent..

'Your path has become easy...way easier. But....don't run blindly for revenge. Naveen can be proven innocent by us...by hook or crook ..but you are married too...enjoy this while you can. Life never stops baccha.'

Naina laughs...

'Sir. He is puppy of some one else. And I have no head to deal with so much drama. I happily steer of his ways. I dont want headache neither need them.'

Col. Is silent.

'Live a little beta. Truth is Naveen is gone. Dont be a loner after him.'

'I am fine sir. Donr worry. I have to see some files. I need to start my investigation today itself. I am going to see where can that report be. If not MG bhagat then there must be someone who'll be helpful. See you sir. Good night.'

Lime goes dead leaving Naina thinking...

Not of her relation amd new marriage...

But how she can use this alliance to her benefit!

Being Selfish, aren't we!

Isn't Sujal using her too!!

Her conscience shuts itself. She has gone blind behind her one goal...

Around one in night when she is immersed in her laptop, checking the data she collected. All those statements, picture she could arrange. She is viewing them..

The door opens and a drunk sujal comes in.

She is afraid..but soon she returns to her work.

He has come to her. He sits behind her. And suddenly holds both her hands...

'Mehndi dikhao.'

She is pulling them back.

'Leave me. I have things to dom tumhari tarah pyaar me pagal nahi hu. Chhodo mujhe.'

But he doesn't listen.

'Maine bola..Mehndi dikhao! Mujhe apna naam dekhna he.'

Naina is stunned.

He stares in her hands...roaming his fingers on her palms creating something inside her. So implicit. So unlike before. He is not the first man! No. He is not the first man to touch. Dont feel it..Dont.

His fingers tenderly clutches her wrists and rubs them. He is till searching his name.

'Mil gaya! Ye raha.' He points at the corner below her index finger. He kisses her palms. It burns her immediately.

She pulls her hands back.

'Pata tha...tum yahi karogi. Now you hate my touch also! Wow Kashish'

And volcano is uncapped. She pushes him from bed and returns to her laptop.

God. She is still feeling his touch but the name he uttered just charred her in worst way. Why!

It doesn't matter. Naveen is more important.

Sujal goes to couch mumbling something. She doesn't turn to him.

After he sleeps she covers him with duvet...and herself takes comforter.

She hoped it will be easy with him but this guy has nothing pronounced easy in his dictionary.
