After 50 days

"Tumhara dimag to nahi kharab hai.. Jante ho kya bol rahe ho" Naina questions him angrily.

"I am damn serious Naina, I really like you.. Meri baat samjhne ki koshish karo" Rajveer said desperately.

"Shaadi me 10 se bhi kam din bache hai.. Or itni badi baat tum ab bata rahe ho.. No rajveer this cannot happen now" She turns her dace away.

He made her look at him by holding her from shoulder "Naina ye sirf ek galatfahami thi... Hamare parents ko misunderstanding hui, mujhe laga tumhara naam hi Sunaina hai, ye rishta meine tumhare liye bheja tha tumhari behen ke liye nahi" He tries to make her understand. "It was you from. Start".

"Why now Rajveer, pehle kyu nahi kaha.. Meine to kitne sapne sajaye baithi thi.. Itni der kyu ki.. Ekdam se mere sapne tod kar aj tum fir mujhme umeed jaga rahe ho... Or waha didi tumhare sath apni puri zindagi bitane ke sapne dekh chuki hai.. You guys are engaged dammit!! " She painfully said

"Janta hu meine der kar di hai, jis din mujhe pata chala wo engagement ka din tha i got to know that ki meri tumse nahi tumhari behen se sagai ho rahi hai, mein itna shocked ho gaya ki kuch keh nahi paya.. Or jab tak himmat jutai der ho gayi, mein chup raha... Lekin ab nahi Naina jaise jaise shaadi ka din nazdeek aa raha hai meri bechaini badhti ja rahi hai.. I can't do this, mein tumhari jagah kisi aur ko nahi de sakta".

"I can't break my sister's heart Rajveer, waqt nikal gaya hai ab der ho chuki hai... Kuch dino mein didi ke hatho mein tumhare naam ki mehndi lag jayegi.. I cannot do this.. Unki. Muskaan mein nahi cheen sakti".

He shook her from shoulders " Or hamari khushiyo ka kya? Tumhe kya lagta hai ki mujhse se shaadi karke sunaina sukhi reh payegi? Teen zindagiya hamesha ke liye barbaad ho jayegi... " He tries his last.

She was still in dilemma "nahi aisa nahi.. "

He got irritated with her rants "listen one thing naina, it's my way or highway. Tumhe mahan ban na hai to bano.. Magar meri bali mat chadhao. Shaadi hogi to tumse hogi.. Warna ye shaadi nahi hogi.. Sunaina meri patni nahi banegi. Period." He firmly said making her shiver with his decision.

"Magar beta itni badi baat tumne humse pehle kyu nahi kahi... " Her father asks in worry.

"I told you uncle, me khud surprised reh gaya tha.. Sab guests ke samne kaise kehta ki..kitni embarrassment hoti " He sighs while elders understood his situation.

"Samajh sakte hai.. Galati humse hi hui jo humne bina soche samjhe chize assume karli" His father said.

"Magar ab kya hoga ji, agar ye shadi nahi hui to kitni badnaami hogi" Her mother said in tension.

"Ira preshani ki to bat hai magar ye hamare baccho ko khushiyo ka sawal hai.. Rajveer aur Naina ek dusre ko pasand karte hai agar unki shadi ho jaye to harz hi kya hai... Shaadi to ho hi rahi hai.. Bas ab badi ki jagah chhoti behen dulhan banegi" His mother suggested.

"Nahi aunty.. Mein aisa nahi kar sakti, jo jagah didi ki hai. Mein usey nahi le sakti" She denies straight away.

"Naina pagal mat ban, ye jagah sunaina ki kabhi thi hi nahi.. Rajveer ne tujhe pasand kiya tha teri didi ko nahi... Galati to humse hui jo hum samajh nahi paye...aur rahi baat sunaina ki to wo samajhdaar hai samajh jayegi". Her mother trying to convince her.

" Magar maa.. " She protests when her father spoke.

"Agar sunaina ko koi aitraz na ho to kya tum iss shaadi ke liye taiyaar ho?" She looks at rajveer, his eyes showing desperateness. She shifts her gaze at her father and nodded silently in agreement. Everyone smiles in satisfaction. "Thik hai chaar din bad sunaina Mumbai se wapas ayegi.. To mein usey samjha dunga.. Yakeen mano Naina, sunaina ko bilkul bhi bura nahi lagega, agar koi tujhe humse bhi zyada pyaar karta hai to wo teri behen hai.. Tere liye kuch bhi kar sakti hai wo... Arey jaan basti hai uski tujhme" He creases her head lovingly

Rajveer takes a breath of relief and smirks to himself, everything is going as per his plan, for now atleast.

++++++

"Tujhe Rajveer pasand hai" She asks seriously.

"Didi mein aisa kuch nahi chahti thi trust me.. " She said hurriedly, not wanting to see her hurt.

"Meine kuch pucha hai, uska jawab ha ya na mein de.. Tujhe rajveer pasand hai? "

She nodded keeping her head down in agreement and quickly adds "mera aisa koi irada nahi tha didi. . Am sorry" She felt guilty.

She lifts up her face from chin "yaha dekh meri taraf" She spoke softly "shaadi se pehle hi apni didi ko itna paraya kar diya ki apne dill baat nahi keh payi" Naina looks at her in tears "bura apni shaadi tutne par nahi tera mujhse baat chupane par laga chhoti, teri khushi mein hi meri khushi hai samjhi...

" Aap mujhse naraz to nahi ho? " She asks meekly.

"Ek shart par.. " She asks what "agey se tu mujhse kuch nahi chupayegi" She forwards "promise kar".

She happily places her hand over hers " Deedu ki chhoti wala promiss" She hugs her tightly silently praying for each other's happiness.

"Chal ab taiyyar hokar neeche aja.. Tujhe sabse pehle mehendi mein hi lagaungi" Naina nodded her head excitedly.

@@@@@@@@@@@@
Marriage

After exchanging garland, Sunaina started to stumble as she felt everything going blur in front of her, her head pained like hell.

Naina reaches near her and panicked "didi aap thik to ho.. Kya hua? ".

" Kuch nahi.. I think migraine attack hai" She said holding her head.. "Ye lights bahot tezz hai".

"Beta ek kam kar kamre mein jakar aram kar le mein sath chalta hu tujhe dawa bhi de dunga.. " Her father said.

"Mein bhi chalti hu.. " Naina said coming with them.

"Are Naina pagal ho gayi hai kya.. Teri shadi ho rahi hai.. Tujhe mandap mein baithna hai.. " Her mother scolds her lightly.

"Magar didi.. " She was worried for her.

"Naina.. Uncle hai na. Or waise bhi iss waqt sunaina ko shanti aur aram ki zarurat, don't worry jab tak tumhari didi bilkul thik nahi ho jati hum yaha se nahi jayenge.. Filhal shaadi karle" Rajveer said Suggestively.

She shook her head getting disheartening. She looks back at her sister, she felt empty without her. So weird it that her only loving sister wouldn't be witnessing the most special moment of her life.

+++++++++

After few hours she woke up in her room. She saw time it was 11:45 in night "ab tak to shaadi ho bhi gayi hogi.. ".

She took out Naina's picture from side of her drawer, she creases it lovingly " .. Teri life ke sabse special moment mein teri didi nahi thi, Am sorry chhoti, ye drama karne ke liye. Rajveer hai hi aise ki kisi ko bhi unse pyaar ho jaye.. " She hugs her photo guiltily

"janti hu ye galat hai.. Magar kya karu mein bhi insaan hi hu, mujhme bhi khamiyan hai.. Magar i promise chhoti, waqt ke sath mein Rajveer ke liye apne dill se sari feelings nikal dungi..." She looks at her picture "wo sirf aur sirf tera hai". She puts back her picture and got up to arrange her clothes.

She saw herself in mirror, she needs to bid farewell to her sister, she was feeling heaviness in heart, her baby is soon going to leave her, her eyes misted with the thoughts. She took out Naina's wedding gift from cupboard when a shiny necklace got her attention.

She took it out and remembers that Rajveer gave it to her on their first date, she smiled ruefully remembering that day. She was about to put it back when she realised something which made her eyes go wide in shock as she gasp.

"Hey bhagwaan... Ye mujhe pehle yaad kyu nahi aya" She gasped "ye kya khel khel rahe ho tum Rajveer.. " She panicked.

Flashback
Rajveer-Sunaina's Date

"This is for you.. " Rajveer Gives her a box of necklace.

She gasped looking at it "ye... Ye to".

" Ye wahi necklace hai jo tumne 6 mahine pehle mall mein try kiya tha.. Or pasand ane par pata chala tha ki ye already sold out ho chuka hai...tumhe pehli bar shaadi mein dekha ye to bas ghar walo ke samne ek drama tha..Meri nazar to 6 mahine pehle usi din tum par pad gayi thi" He said looking in her eyes "i got it made for you exclusively".

"This made me feel so special, thankyou so much.. " She said getting overwhelmed.

"Don't worry aise thankyou kehne ke aur bahot mauke dunga" He held her hand lovingly as she blushed.

Flashback end.

"Iska matlab.. Rajveer ne rishta mere liye hi bheja tha.. naina ke liye nahi" She panicked "magar Rajveer aisa kyu kar raha hai... Kya Naina ko ye sab ke bare mein pata hai..hey bhagwaan" Her thoughts broke when clock made noise stating that it's midnight.

"Shit.. Mujhe jaldi jana hoga.. Rajveer ko mere sawalo ka jawab dena hi hoga.. " She left in hurry.

++! ++

It was bidai time, everyone was bidding her farewell when Sunaina reached there.

"Ye lo acha hua tu agayi Sunaina.. Bas ab tu hi reh gayi thi.. Ja mil le apni behen se or kar de usey vida.. " One of their relative said.

"Didi.. " Naina hugged her crying, sunaina also hugs her back.. Not wanting to leave her without knowing the whole truth, she cannot trust her sister with this man anymore. She needs answer. She was looking at him sternly. Rajveer was confused at the way she was looking at him.. In few seconds he realised what could have happened. He smirks maliciously making her fume.

"Naina mujhe kuch baat karni hai..tum dono se, andar chalo" She said in haste.

"Ha didi, chalo" Naina said asking rajveer to follow them.

"Nahi beta" His mother said. "Vidai ke waqt Maayeke ki dehleez par akar wapas nahi mudte, apshagun hota hai".

"Agar maine abhi Naina se baat nahi ki to zyada bada apshagun ho jayega" She thought "aunty bas 5 minute mujhe kuch bahot zaruri bat karni hai"

"Kaisi baat kar rahi hai Sunaina.. Tu to itni samajhdaar hai fir.. " Her mother scolds.

"Rehne do Ira.. Samajhdar hai to kya hua.. Hai to behen hi na.. Dill bhar aya hoga.. Sunaina beta.. Kal naina pag-phere ke liye aa rahi hai na.. Tab jee bhar ke baatein kar lena.. Filhal hume chalna hoga.. Grahpravesh ka shubh mahurat na nikal jaye... Chalo beta" She took Naina with her.

Rajveer looks at Sunaina with sly grin "it's okay saali sahiba.. Ab apki behen meri patni hai.. Mein uska bahoot ache se dhyan rakhunga". He left giving her warning signs.

#########

It was 2 A.M. his phone buzzed as he was about to enter his bedroom, he saw a message and smirked.

Meet me at the backside of your
house.
-Sunaina.

++++++++

"Kaunsa khel khel rahe ho tum haa.. Kya chahte ho tum.. Pehle mere sath or ab meri behen. Akhir tumhara asli chehra kya hai.. Kya maksad hai tumhara" She asks him furiously.

He was standing calm in front of her "Ranveer... " He said a name which drained all the blood from her face "kuch yaad aya...? " He started to circle around her "Bhai hai mera... " Revelation shocked her to the core making her shiver almost "hum sab se dur chala gaya wo" His expression turns hard "all thanks to you" He gritted his teeths.

"Bahot takleef di hain tumne mere bhai ko.. Pal pal tadapte dekha hai meine usey.. Tum soch bhi nahi sakti kya beeti thi mere dill par usey uss halat mein dekh kar.. " His heart crying blood "but now.. You are going to have taste of your own medicine" That evilness came back on his face.

"Matlab" She whispers fearfully.

"Jo dard tumne mere bhai ko diya.. Ab wo dard mein tumhari behen ko dunga, ab tum bhi janogi ki kisi apne ko dard mein tadapte dekhna kaisa lagta hai" He said while having sadistic pleasure.

Hearing such cruel words for her baby her body filled with rage . " Don't you dare touch my sister" She warns him

He laughs sarcastically "dare? Usey mein kaha kaha touch kar sakta hu ye mujhe tumhe batane ki zarurat nahi hai. Tumhari behen ko har jagah touch karne ka pura hak hai mera.. After all she is my legally wedded wife". He left her screaming and crying in agony.

Next day

"Naina tu thik hai na.. Tujhe kuch hua to nahi.. Kahi chot to nahi lagi" Sunaina asks frantically searching for any scar or wound as soon as she arrived for pagphera.

Naina giggles "didi ap to aise behave kar rahi ho jaise me sasural se nahi war se ayi hu.. Don't worry mere sasural wale atyachari nahi hai.. Sab bahot ache hai" She assures her.

She sighs in relief. "Mera matlab wo nahi tha.. Mein puchna chahti thi ki.. Was rajveer good to you? Kahi usne.. Koi zabardasti... You know... It was your... First night! " She hesitated while asking.

Naina blushed and shook her head "nahi didi... Wo to bahot ache hai.. Unhone mujhe chua tak nahi.. Kaha ki humara rishta naya naya hai., pehle ek dusre ko jan lete hai., iss sab ke liye to puri life padi hai" She dreamily said feeling lucky to have him as her husband.

Sunaina felt relieved, so he didn't forced her but till when. "Naina tujhe tera promise yaad hai na... Tu mujhse kuch nahi chupayegi.. Chahe kuch ho jaye".

"Haa didi yaad hai.. mein apse kuch nahi Chupayungi, ap bekar hi pareshan ho rahi hai.. Sab bahot ache hai waha" She tries to make her calm.

"Naina abhi to ek hi din hua hai.. Kisi ko bhi itni jaldi judge nahi kar lena chahiye.. Jo jaisa dikhta hain waisa hota nahi... Aksar logo ke mukhote utarne mein waqt lagta hai" She said warning her as naina was confused the way she was talking today.. It was weird.

&&-&--

During the lunch sunaina was still worried, she was thinking hard, not able to believe that he didn't do anything to Naina, what is he planning. Rajveer concluded her dilemma from expression.

"Ghabraiye mat saali sahiba.... Bakri ko halaal karne se pehle achi tarah khilaya pilaya jata hai.... Abhi jhatka nahi dunga.. This is not the right time." He whispers in her ear which scared her.
