Rawte Mansion

"Anjana! There was a call from Mr Kapoor asking about the marriage date so he could start preparation." A man asked coming inside the bedroom.

"You don't worry, I'll talk to him in evening." Anjana replied.

The man sighed and left the room shaking his head while something like guilt shown on his face.

On seeing the retreating of the man, two younger man came inside the room. One of them asked shocked "Mom, his another marriage!?"

On hearing such, Anjana smirk evilly and said "Don't worry beta. I guess it will be last. You know that rich spoilt brat, his bride to be is deep into alcohol maybe a broken heart. Woh kya kehte ho tum log, haan dhoka Mila hai Bechari ko. I guess her ex had left, after using her."

"Woah Mom! you mean, He is getting a used broken girl as his wife. Tch, tch! So sad bechara." One of the two young men said with a fake pity look.

"Really sad, but after his ex wifes he is also used na. So it shouldn't matter him. Right big brother?" Said the other man before started laughing.

"Bilkul pehli Baar ki tarah karna hai sab, bas ye akhiri baar. Yaad hai na pehli Baar kaise Kiya tha humne?" Asked Anjana raising her eye brows.

"Right Mom, how can we forget it. It is still fresh as if it happened yesterday." Saying so both brothers started.

FLASHBACK..

Rawte Mansion

August 2010

"Congratulations bhaiya!" Wished Sandeep Rawte, one of Arjun's cousin.

"Thanks Sandeep! Now you both take care of the business." Replied Arjun as he pulled away from Sandeep's hug.

"Haan Amit, Sandeep tum dono ko ab  business ka khyaal Rakh kar Arjun ki tension Kam karni hogi. By the way Arjun beta, it couldn't be possible without your presence here. I am proud of you." Said Suhas Rawte, father of Sandeep and Amit, patting Arjun's shoulder.

"Arre nahi uncle, after Dad you're like my father. Apka sikhaya hua hi tou aj kaam aarha hai." Arjun replied with smile. He added "Now I am leaving for NewYork as I have been here from last two months leaving everything on my manager there. So bye uncle..."

"No! you came here for us on such a short notice to establish Rawte textile business here. Now we want to give you something in return, Arjun." Said Anjana Rawte interrupting Arjun in mid, coming near him.

"Par Chachi!!??" Arjun tried to say something but Anjana didn't let him.

"No beta, we want to give you something or I should say someone to erase your loneliness and who take care of you. Yes, I had fix your marriage. It's after one month and I will hear nothing. You talk to her, know her you have one month time if you think she is not your type then we will not force you. Okay?"

"Lekin chachi? Mai aur shadi?" Arjun asked shockingly. Anjana replied faking tears "Beta, Sujata didi aur Suryakant bhaiya ji ne humme tumhari zimmedari di hai. Aur isliye tumhari shadi ka khyaal Hume hi tou karna hoga. Tum khud tou kisi ladhki se sahi se baat bhi nahi karte. Now no more arguments, your soon to be fiance Roshini must be waiting for you in Sohan Cafe, Go!"

...

...

...

"Uh! Hi !?" A female sweet voice greeted him, standing near his table in the cafe. Arjun look up and saw a girl in her mid 20, wearing navy blue shirt and black jeans looking pretty. He stood up and spoke stammering "Huh! Hh..hi! You're..?"

"Roshini! You are Arjun, right?" She asked flashing a smile. Arjun nod before gesturing her to have a seat.

After few hesitation, both get comfortable and start talking casually. Roshini being sweet and ambitious girl caught Arjun's interest, she was a middle class girl so her parents arranged her marriage which she had to obliged along with suppressing her ambitions. Conversing with each other, they tried to become friends first as it was very new for both. But unknown to them, there on the other table one lady in her mid 40 had her eyes and ears on them who smiled cunningly on them and left towards her car. The driver asked "Shall we move, Anjana mam.?"

Therefore, as expected Arjun agreed to marry Roshini, their marriage was planned the next month which they found strange and even Arjun had ask what is the hurry? But he got no specific or meaningful reply. Later they both started meeting as a friend and got to know each other more. Arjun promised Roshini that he will help her to accomplish her ambition that was becoming a interior designer.

Arjun didn't got time to tell Sameer about all this as he got busy in his marriage preparation and in his office as it was new therefore it needs special attention in which his brothers were lacking behind. In free time which are rare, he hungout with his new good friend aka fiance, Roshini. So he wasn't able to talk Sameer more. And as planned after one month, their marriage took place though Arjun was not happy with this haste as Sameer wasn't there with him and he was missing his parents alot as well as his heart was restless for unknown reason but he was glad that his family is happy.

As promised on their wedding night, Arjun gifted Roshini an admission form of best interior designing college in Mumbai for her course and asked her to join the college from the next week itself, he filled her bank account with enough money saying she shouldn't be worried for money or her fees and they slept that night as friends. His deeds were not known to any person as Arjun asked Roshini to not inform anyone not even his family as he didn't want to take any credit.

And from next week she joined her college. His family thought Arjun and Roshini are going out together as a newly wed couple as they left together, every morning.

After two months of their marriage, there was an emergency in his Manhattan branch, so Arjun had to leave India alone for two weeks but didn't returned back. While his family threw Roshini out of their house, showing her the divorce paper signed by Arjun which broke Roshini's heart as she trust Arjun alot and somewhere started loving him. Her father had an heart attack on listening taunts of the society and stress because of their financial crisis which had increased unknown to Roshini as his parents had given a large amount as her dowry to her In-laws, the Rawtes. She too signed the divorce with only emotion hatred in her heart for one person.

"Hahaha.. while on other hand, that Arjun was so confused about what happened in the last three months of his India visit." Anjana said laughing her heart out.

"Yes Mom, you are such a cunning lady. Now you arranged his third marriage. Such a lucky b***** he is. Yahan mere Ko ek nahi milti wahan uski Teesri shaadi hai." Said Amit with a laugh.

"Leave it Amit, Humein konsi kami hai. Itno ke tou maze loote hain Shadi mei kaisa maza. Huh!?" Spoke Sandeep chuckling.

"Don't worry beta, I'll find the most eligible rich bachelor who will be most beautiful, gorgeous girls in the world for both of my son. Lekin acchi baat tou yeh thi ki Simran ko sach ka pata nahi hai warna problem hojaati woh itna zyada pyar jo Karti hai Apne Arjun bhaiya se." Anjana replied shaking her head.

"Haan, Mom." Replied her both son.

"Accha. Now keep quite for few seconds." Said Anjana before dialing on her mobile.

As soon as she heard the "Hello!?" from the other side. She said sweetly "Hello Mr Kapoor. It's Anjana Rawte here."

"Oh Mrs Rawte, how are you? I am very glad you called." Came a reply of Mr Kapoor.

"I just called to inform you that Pandit ji said 10 to 20 of November will be very shubh. So...?" Said Anjana with smirk.

NewYork, USA

AR Mansion

October 2017

"Sameer, Mrs Rawte I guess we mustn't continue this therapy it's becoming too dangerous. It's almost one month we tried to make him remember the past and gain his memory back but now I suggest we shouldn't continue this. As after seeing his condition I can say if we continue he might lost his mental stability or even worst his life."

Dr. Breuer dropped the bomb after checking on the unconscious Arjun, who faint while trying to remember his life of past six years.

Yes, it's being a month from the time when Jacob got to know the truth. So as per decision, Dr Jacob, a neurologist personally started a therapy along with his friend Dr Jeff Breuer who is a psychotherapist. From the last month as they decided, Riya will anyhow make Arjun ready to attend the therapy by saying it will help him to get rid of his nightmares. Arjun after few refusal agreed for the therapy but now after seeing his unstable state Dr Breuer suggested that it will be best if they stopped the therapy as Arjun loose his consciousness almost after each session which is not good at all.

"Yes, Sameer, Jeff is right. It's too dangerous to continue this therapy. Arjun's health and life is much more important than any memory. After all either way he started to love his wife again. So there wouldn't be any problem I guess? Anyways I will continue his neuro medicine to relax his hyper active mind and somehow reduce his nightmares. Please remember do not try to remind him the past it can be dangerous."

Dr Jacob said softly yet in firm voice to warn them.

Shocked with the revelation, Sameer and Riya nod their head while both Doctors left taking their leave. Riya ran in her kids rooms, hugged the sleeping Sneha and cried her heart out feeling vulnerable and defeated. 

Vulnerable to see her love, her Arjun in such situation where he is able to see their past life but not remember her and their love life. Defeated because even after knowing the truth she can't tell him and would not do anything which can be dangerous for his life.

Seeing Riya running away, Sameer sighed and held the wall for support as he felt disgust with himself, here he is not able to set his friend's love life while on the other side he had already destroyed one innocent soul beyond repair. He don't have anyone beside him with whom he could share his pain, his sufferings, he felt suffocated with himself. Wiping his tears, he rushed out of house and drove his bike as fast as he could. He was feeling so devasted which made his vision blurred with tears that he didn't even saw the car coming from the opposite side untill heard a massive crash and felt himself being thrown away.

Laying almost lifeless on the road he felt himself being surrounded by people but his thought was lingering around one person, 'Aayu! I wished I could saw you one last time.' Thinking so Sameer loose the final thread of consciousness.
