Rudra's POV

All of us head downstairs and as we are about to reach the door, Om's voice stops us.

Om - Wait for me...

I turn around to see Om is a brown salwar kameez. He smiles and then approaches us.

Om (smiling) - What are we waiting for?

We all leave the house to go to Saumya's house.

Rudra's POV ends, Khushi's POV after 20 minutes

Anika and Gauri come rushing into towards me and Saumya with smiles.

Anika (smiling) - They are here...

I look outside to see Arnav and Rudra outside. This is Australia, loud noise can send us to jail and therefore, this marriage will not be as good as I imagined. Who am I kidding? I imagined my marriage to be with a guy I would like... but in this situation... I neither like him nor he likes me. Anyway, I put on my fake smile and then I look at Anika and Gauri.

Gauri (annoyed) - That Om, is wearing the same colour as me...

Anika (teasing her) - You guys are made for each other...

Gauri (blushing) - Really?

Wait, what? Why is she blushing? I thought they hated each other... what is happening between those two? Aniya forcefully makes Gauri spills the bean, and she confesses that Om and she are pretending to hate each other...due to their family... but they love each other ever since their dance in haldi... she even goes on to say that they are planning to get married. Wow... that's amazing. Anyway, mum comes in and calls us down and I half-heartedly go down. I do all the rituals with that ASR and then the pandit declares our marriage as legal. I hope that guy does realise that I will not fulfil any of the promises that the pandit made us make, forget it. While doing the rituals, though I could see the smiles on Rudra and Saumya's faces, I could even see some hidden emotion. As the marriage finishes, I start to take blessings from everyone, as soon as I get to mum, I whisper in her ear.

Me (upset) - If you can't forgive Saumya for a mistake that she never committed then at least give her blessings...

I let go of the hug and go towards dad while hugging him and crying. Why is it that always a girl has to live their family members? Why do they have to leave their identity... for someone else? Why a girl?

Di slowly moves me away from dad and I see Saumya crying as much as I am. She goes towards mum to get her blessings, and for the first time, mum gives her the blessings and even hugs her while crying. Is she pretending? I don't know.

Om (upset) - don't worry bhabhi... Arnav will keep you happy...

I fake a smile at Om, but the truth is that Mr ASR is the cause of all this... how can I expect a guy that gave me nothing but sadness...to give me happiness after marriage? Just because someone realises their mistakes and apologises, doesn't mean that they can be forgiven. I sit besides ASR in the car with a fake smile as di is watching me, but as soon as di leaves and the car starts driving. I stare at ASR.

Me (angry) - Look Mr Arnav Singh Raizada, this marriage is nothing but a nightmare for me... as soon as we reach your house... I am giving you your possessions... this (points to mangalsutra)... and this (points to sindoor) will be removed. I don't accept this marriage... and I never will... do you understand?

ASR (upset) - But...

Me (angry) - No buts... ifs... nothing... this mangalsutra and sindoor don't mean anything to me... and in case you didn't know... those pheras that took... they also meant nothing to me...

I was going to continue insulting him, but I saw that di was about to open the door and I immediately put on my fake smile.

Di (smiling) - Welcome Khushiji...

A hand comes out for me, and I am not that surprised to see Mr ASR holding out his hand to help me get out of the car. I saw di with a teasing face on, so I unwillingly take his hand but as soon as di's eyes go towards Saumya's car, I push ASR a little away and he stumbles and hits his head to a tree nearby. Oh well, who cares. I saw that blood was oozing out, but if I give him attention then he might think that I have forgiven him and there is no chance that it would happen, but how can I be heartless? No Khushi, he hurt you so much...but then if I don't help him then I would also be a monster like him. I could see that di's eyes are on Saumya's car and therefore, I go towards the tap outside the house and turn it on and then I help ASR towards the tap. I sprinkle some of the water on his forehead and then I even blow on his wound to make him feel better as it is my fault that this has happened.

Di (shocked) - Choote...

She comes running towards us seeing the blood that is oozing out of his head.

Me (upset) - Actually di this was all my fault...

ASR (holding his forehead) - No di, she is lying it was my fault... I accidentally hurt my head...

Di looks at ASR with anger but then starts to help him with his wound. Why would he lie for me? Am I doing right by punishing him?
