Part 18 

The bride who was standing silently with a long veil of a material which is see through from inside, finally raised her head to see what's happening. She saw her newly married husband, had pulled off his sehra. His fair skin glowed with sweat and his moustache came in her sight, her breathing disrupt as to her this face seems to be very similar to her love but as his exclaiming voice of "Mr Kapoor!!" rang in her ears. Her heart pounded and ears stopped working as she gasped loudly and her legs gave up. But before loosing her consciousness, she felt strong arm wrapped around her waist preventing her from hitting the floor. Sameer held her waist looked towards the covered head of his wife and exclaimed loudly "Hey Miss!!!"

..........

Seeing her unresponsive, Shree whispered "She might have fainted because of heat. You should take her to rest first." Sameer nodded his head confused and pick her in his arms. He again felt a familiar soothing gust of wind around him, so he looked around him then shook his head before climbing up the stairs to his room.

Riya and Arjun looked at each other with wide eyes as they seems to connect something, they looked at Sameer's back and turned again towards Mr. Kapoor who stood there shocked to see Sameer in Arjun's place. 

Arjun came to him and asked again "Mr. Kapoor, what are you doing here? Who is the bride to you?"

Irritated Sandeep, Arjun's cousin who saw the whole chaos and understood that Riya's groom was Arjun only and he didn't marry the bride they set him up with, he irritatedly said "Father of that drunkard broken doll you were suppose to marry, who else?"

As he finished speaking, silence reside in the hall. Riya turned on her heel and almost ran behind Sameer thinking 'Sam bhai will go crazy with all this.'

Arjun, Shree and Chotu also went behind her, not before picking up the kids. Simran who didn't understand anything also came  with them, thus she missed a big chaos that is now taking place.

Sameer put her on bed gently and make her head comfortable on his pillow worriedly. Then he sat down to breathe as he still couldn't believe that he is married now and don't know what is Mr. Kapoor here for, everything is so jumbled  that he couldn't calm his mind yet.

He turned his towards the bride to confirm this is not a nightmare, when he saw her still covered head "Oh! I forgot to remove the veil, she must be having problem in breathing."

Just as he took the veil off of her head, Riya and others entered the room only to see a stunned Sameer. His hands were quivering, his pupil is dilated while his complexion got paler than ever. He couldn't believe his eyes, 'Is he dreaming again? How could this happen? How could his love.. his Aisha be the bride he just marry? His Aisha... Aisha Kapoor.'

"Sam bhai, ye sach hai. The girl who was supposed to marry Arjun and the girl you just got married is your Aisha... Miss Aisha Kapoor." Riya chuckled with tearful eyes and broad smile. She know how this all feels, she could fathom the pain, the joy, the extreme happiness, this feeling doesn't feel real. It feels as if you are in nightmare, a beautiful lovely dream which might break anytime but this all is real. Standing there, Riya cried silently as she could visualise the scene when she got her Arjun back, not as her husband due to his memory loss but still seeing her Arjun again and reuniting with him again bring her so much pain, joy, excitement and heart break all at once that this never feels real, even though it's all true. 'Reuniting his love unexpectedly that too as his wife, Sam bhai must be feeling similar.'

Arjun gave Sneha to Shree and hugged Riya tightly. Seeing her tears for any reason makes him unwell, but hugging him only broke all hell loose as Riya cried loudly to let her pain out, to let out Sameer's feelings and to mourn their separation as well as celebrate their love's re-unions, the end of their nightmare..

Arjun heart tightened but he helplessly continue trying to wipe her tears while hugging her tightly to comfort her anyhow.

Shocked Sameer came out of his reverie, and hurriedly tried to undone her heavy necklace, nose pin and headpiece to relief her. Unknown to the fact that, she fell unconscious because she saw her groom-now-husband. She saw her love after such a long separation and is in shock.

Seeing hurried moves of Sameer, Shree and Chotu walk out of the room smilingly, closing the kids eyes. Arjun also took Riya out with him while Simran walk to Arjun's room and waited until they arrived there. She looked at Arjun and Riya confused, her innocent eyes were filled with confusion.

Riya was still stuck at Arjun's chest, with no other intension. Arjun calmly look at his little sister and said "Simi, this is your bhabhi. Tere Arjun bhaiyya ka pyaar. Iske bina mai zindagi jeene ke baare mei soch bhi nahi sakta. Mai iss baar Riya ko introduce karane hi laya tha phir shadi karna tha but yahan tou chachi ne mujhe bataye bina itna sab kuch plan karliya. I am so disappointed with all this. But I don't want anymore disturbance in my married life. I only have Riya in my heart."

Simran smiled brightly and said "Aha! I knew it. When I saw Riya didi... Uh.. bhabhi first time, I felt you and she can't be just friends, there were something more between you both. Look, I was absolutely correct. But bhai, what's all this happening with Sam bhai? Why are you all so serious? Why did he too your place? Do they know each other?"

Arjun smiled at his curious sister when his sniffling wife put her head out and said in hoarse voice "Let me tell you.......

Seeing them running upstair woke Mr. Kapoor out of his shock but only to glare at Sandeep hatefully for slandering his daughter. He turned towards Anjana and Suhas and said angrily "Just you wait! From today onwards, you all will beg for death as I will make sure to make you all pay and live a life worst than death." 

"Search out the history of their old and new crimes, every one of them. Get the police here and give the details of crimes they committed just today, make sure they all live in jail for the rest of their life. Get the divorce ready, I am not letting my daughter marry anyone anymore. I want results within an hour." Mr. Kapoor declared to his lawyer and turned to his secretary "CALL THE BEST DOCTOR HERE FAST, get them to check her. IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO HER CONSIDER YOURSELF DEAD!!"

Secretary frowned, nodding his head, he turned around and quickly call someone as he walk to a corner. He spoke in panic "Something has happened, we need to act fast the groom has changed and the current one will support Aisha back and then everything will be out of our control. Get the rights transferred till tonight. Kapoor is going to bring his daughter back again."

As he finish talking, he turned to go back but saw himself surrounded by three unknown man. One of them said in bored tone as he gesture him to the side-room "Corporate with us silently, otherwise you gonna regret badly."

Mr Kapoor ran upstairs after waiting for a while. He saw Arjun coming out of his room and approach him angrily "Arjun Rawte, I admired you for your accomplishments and respected your father but now I regret knowing you all. I'll make sure that you all pay for making my daughter a joke. Where is Aisha? Speak up! Where is my daughter?"

Arjun gritted his teeth and said "She is with the person, she belongs to. Aisha is with her husband."

"I don't consider him anything, let alone Aisha's husband. It was suppose to be you, I married my daughter to but now this marriage doesn't exist. Now tell, where is she?" Mr Kapoor asked again.

Arjun didn't replied but the door of another room opened and a doctor walked away, nodding at Arjun. Mr. Kapoor walked in hurriedly.

There, Aisha is laying on bed with closed eyes seemingly still asleep, her jewelleries were off. Sameer is beside her caressing her hairs with teary eyes. He still couldn't believe that the person he married is his Aisha, that she is his wife now. The wife he always desired for, now he feels completed. 'I want nothing more. Even if its just a dream, I'm satisfied.' He smiled widely as tears rolled down his cheek and fell on Aisha's forehead.

"Let go of my daughter!" Mr Kapoor said sternly.

Stunned for a moment, Sameer stand up and look at him as he said furiously "Mr. Kapoor, is this how you were looking after Aisha? Do you even know that doctor just diagnosed her with hemoglobin and vitamin deficiency, upon that she has been drinking. Do you want to kill her?"

"What!? She is.... Forget it. I know my daughter and know how to take care of her better than anyone. I am taking her back, no need for your interference. Stay out of it." He replied.

Sameer crossed his arms at his chest, as he said raged "That's what I am asking how did you take care of her? Last time I met her out of a pub she was burning with fever, after a month she had nervous breakdown and almost went to coma. I bet you don't even know that such thing ever happen to her. Mr. Kapoor, I only left Aisha because you threatened me but I thought atleast you'll take care of her." 

Sameer pointed at him furiously and almost shouted "No, I'm not backing off now. I'm not letting you or anyone to hurt my wife anymore."

Mr. Kapoor was stunned hearing everything, before composing himself, he glared at Sameer and said "Sameer Rathod, did you forgot that she is my daughter, the princess of Kapoor group of industries she is Aisha Kapoor, not someone of your level. I never accepted this scam marriage, nor will I ever let you be with her. Do you think that now you are some CEO, so I'll accept you? Never, not even in your dream. If I can threaten you once then, don't forget that I can very much do so now. Let me tell you, as I knew you're hard to send off, so I have been compiling and safe keeping all evidence to let you know that I can always destroy her reputation with one order."

Arjun, who had been listening everything got shocked, hearing these words, he said loudly feeling disgusted.

"Mr. Kapoor, I pity you. Did you ever treated her with respect? Forget about me or making us regret, did you ever consider Aisha as important as your business? Did you ever thought of her happiness, her love? You were marrying her to me for you respected my dad and admired my achievements but have you ever consider what your daughter wants? You were marrying her to a complete stranger whom you never met, let alone known him personally. I was thinking that you must not be in your sense for setting this marriage, what if I was someone worst? What if I love someone else and was only looking for your daughter to gain more power and would have treated her worst? But listening to your threats and reasoning for not letting Sam and Aisha together, you disgust me. You're a shame to us, fathers. I, as father of my daughter feel ashamed of ever knowing you. No daughter deserves father like you."

He turned his head in disgust, he felt if such was happening to his Sneha, he would prefer death instead of threatening to ruin her.

"I... I hate.. you, M..mister Kapoor." A teary broken voice resonate in the room followed by shocking silence.

Stunned, Sameer turned sideways to see that Aisha's eyes were opened, red with tears and hatred. Her sight turn away from Mr Kapoor in disgust as she finished speaking. He gasped loudly 'She heard everything, every disgusting words of her father..' He went close to her as he tried to hug her and comfort her.

"No need." She said softly rejecting him.

Arjun also looked towards her in shock, just realising how cruel-some this would be for a daughter to hear from her father.

While Mr Kapoor fell on his knees as he followed the voice of his daughter and seeing the hatred in her eyes, he realised how wrong this place was to discuss this, how wrong he was to threaten Sameer again. Amidst all the fury and rage, he forgot that his daughter was lying there. She must be heart broken and hurt. I hurt her again. His breathing fasten as he gasped to fill his lungs. He started feeling pain in his chest as his heart beat raged and soon he fell unconscious.

Arjun's room

After talking about Sam and Aisha's story, Riya finally told Simran about the ugly truth of her family. She even showed her some evidences to give her a heads-up before the dramatic revelation which might be a toll on her soft innocent heart. Riya also told her about Arjun's selective amnesia, about Aryan and Sneha.

Simran was too shocked and got scared with all these revelation that she started shivering all over. Riya held her palm and said "Simmi, you've to get a hold of yourself. I am informing this all so you know the truth beforehand as the police and guards are already on their way. But I am leaving you free to make your own choice, even if you think I'm wrong and blaming them unjustly you can hire your investigator, if you don't feel good taking sides or felt to support them then you're free as long as you don't hate us and don't rely on Arjun for helping them."

Simran nodded her head unsure of how to take everything or react to this huge revelation. She step towards the door with everything still running in her mind.

"Simmi bua, I want ice cream?" Aryan came in and asked with puppy face. Simran didn't react, so the boy grab her dress bringing her out of her thoughts. She look at him and realise 'he is Arjun bhaiyya's son, my nephew. He is so lovely and sweet little boy. How could mumma do such things and hurts him?'

"Buaa!!" Aryan called her loudly again. Simran smiled at him and bend down to hug and him, said "Darling, I will bring you to eat ice cream. I've stock up lots of ice cream in fridge. Let's go and eat them!"

"Yeah!!" Aryan squealed happily as he waved at Riya.

Riya smiled at him and sighed looking at Simran, 'I wish I never had to tell you something as heart-wrenching as this, to inform you about the cruel yet truth of her family.'

Her phone rang, she picked it up "Ma'am, we tied him up after making sure that his partner will be here soon."

"Hmm. Good. Be careful." Riya replied as her eyes glistened. As she was going to instruct further, Arjun came in with Sneha in his arms and said hurriedly "Riyu call Rahul and ask him to send doctor back urgently. Mr. Kapoor fainted, it seems cardiac arrest."

"Rahul, send the doctor in and get another ambulance ready, we might need to send Mr Kapoor to hospital but keep guarding others." Riya instructed on her phone as she stood up hurriedly, following Arjun to Sameer's room.
