Chapter 3

“I wish main tujhse pehle mili hoti yaar Raavi,” Rishita said as they cooked dinner. “Teri shaadi mein kitna mazaa aata!”

Raavi, who had a smile on her face all this while turned pale. That moments were still intact in her memories.

Pushing the door with all his force, he barged inside the room.

“What are you doing here?” She asked surprised as soon as she saw him.

He looked at her standing in a bridal wear as she packed her stuff, ready to leave the city, ready to leave him. Throwing the suitcase she was packing on the floor, he held her hand tightly and pulled her outside.

"What are you doing? Leave me!" She said trying to keep up with his pace. He had been pulling her with a tight and painful grip but stopped seeing her struggle.

"Ssh!” He said, pulling her closer to him. “Not another word Raavi." He hissed.Scooping her in his arms, he moved out of the house, with Raavi wriggling in his arms.

"Where are you taking me?" She questioned him confused. She had never seen him like this before.

Ignoring her question completely, he made her sit on the passenger seat and closed the door. He hopped inside the car and drove to his destination.

"Now will you please bother to answer me Shiva? Where the hell are we going? You are scaring me now." Raavi was on verge of crying but Shiva chose to ignore her because he was sure if he looked into her hypnotizing brown eyes, he would lose himself in her.

Shiva stopped his car in front of a big house. He stepped out and pulled Raavi out.Holding her hand, he marched towards the gate.

Pandya Niwas, Raavi read the name plate. She was confused as to why he brought her to his house.Before she could understand anything, they were already inside.

"Shiva? Why did you bring me here?" Raavi asked politely.

Shiva looked at her for a moment but quickly averted his gaze. He knew what he was doing was not right, but he didn’t have an option.

As Raavi gazed around, she saw a priest waiting with wedding arrangements. She looked at him with wide eyes, realising where this was leading to.

"What is happening here?” Raavi asked, terrified.

"Weare getting married." Shiva said, making her sit on the dias and asked thepriest to start the rituals. He did as he was told to.

“Have you gone mad, Shiva? Marriage is not a game.” Raavi tried to leave but he held her wrist tightly.

“You’re hurting me.” She let the painful shriek escape from her lips, hearing which Shiva loosened his grip but didn't leave her.

"Remember Raavi? Once you told me, you wanted to become my wife, Mrs. Raavi Shiva Pandya.Today I am going to fulfil your dream. I'll make you mine, my wife. You are mine and no one can separate me from you.” Shiva said in a voice that held possessiveness, love and obsession but somewhere she could feel fear too; the fear of losing her.

"You are not in your senses, Shiva. Please don't do this. Don't spoil everything." Raavi said in a calm voice. Yes, she had dreamt of becoming his wife but not like this.

"Weare getting married right now and you have to accept me. Or else, I’ll cancelt he deal with your father and he would return back to his previous state –bankrupt and drowning in debt." Shiva announced, ignoring her pleads as he took vows with her around the holy fire. Her struggle died as they completed their seventh vow.

Shiva knew, he was doing injustice with her. He knew she was going to hate him after this. But he didn’t have a choice. He just prayed, her hatred for him was not deeper than his love for her.

Forcefully, he filled ber hair partings with vermilion and tied the mangalsutra around her neck.

Raavi sat numb. She couldn’t believe it was happening to her. Yes, she loved Shiva and she knew he liked her too, but she never imagined he would do this to her without her consent.

She closed her eyes as tears rolled down when Shiva filled her hairline.

“Raavi!” Rishita called making her coming back to the present. “Where are you lost?”

“Ah, nothing.” She said and her eyes fell on the clock. “Oh god! It’s 9:30 already. Shiva will be coming down soon. I need to keep his plate ready.”

“Relax. Everything is done. We just need to serve.” Rishita said seeing her panic.

Raavi in a hurry rushed towards the dinning table and her heels tripped making her fall down.

“Raavi!” Rishita screamed as she rushed towards her.

Shiva and Dev heard the scream and marched out in a hurry. Worry evident on their faces as they saw Rishita helping a fallen Raavi to stand up. Rushing towards her, they help her sit on the sofa and realised that she has sprained her leg.

At Night

Raavi opened her eyes and saw Shiva sitting on the couch, working in his laptop. She tried to get off the bed gaining his attention.

“Kuch chahiye?” he asked in concern.

"Ah..Washroom..." she said hesitated.

"I'll help you."

He helped her to stand up but she screamed in pain.

"Aaaahhhhh!!!!!!!! It’s paining!!!! I can't walk!" Raavi said to Shiva.

"Koshish kar…" he said trying to support her.

"Nahi ho raha, Shiva!" She yelled. "Dikhta nahi kya?"

Shiva thought for a second and then picked her up in his arms. Raavi was shocked by his sudden move. He went towards the washroom and put her down gently.

"Knock when you're done.I am waiting outside." he said in a simple tone and went outside the washroom closing the door behind him.

After awhile he heard her knock. He stepped in, again picked her up put her on the bed. Raavi asked him to sleep promising she would wake him up if she needs something. Shiva took a pillow and lied on the couch.

"I can't understand what is the truth," Raavi thought in mind. "Jo Shivanaaj mere saamne hai wo kahin na kahin mera purana wala Shiva hai, phir teen saal pehle usne aisa kyun kiya? Agar pyaar karta tha, toh intezaar kyun nahi kiya? Iske ek faisle ney, sab kuch barbaad kar k rakh diya. Agar jabardasti shaadi nahi ki hoti, toh aaj zindagi hi kuch aur hoti. Pyaar karta bhi tha? Yaa bas Dev aur Rishita ko yeh dikhana chahta hai ki sirf wo meri care karta hai aur main nahi karti?"

She closed her eyes. Shiva opened his.

"I know, Raavi. Tu mujhpe trust nahi karti. Tujhe yeh sab ajeeb lag rha hoga. Jhoot lag raha hoga. Par yeh sab sach hai. Meri care bhi, aur mera pyaar bhi. And trust me, I wanted to wait, but tab tak bahat der ho jaati. Main janta hoon mere uss faisle ney mujhe tujhse durr kar diya hai. Hum paas toh hain, par saath nahin hain. But main tujhe pura sach bhi nahi batana chahta. Main janta hoon ki main aaj b tere dil mein hoon, aur hamesha rahoonga. Lekin tu kabhi nahi kahegi kyunki sayad, tu kabhi mujhe maaf hi nahi karegi."
