Tears continuously fell from both her eyes as no guests arrived for her muh dikhaayi ceremony.
Chandini saw Advay giving her a mocking smile, Leela maasi smirking at her while Nani and Pooja had dejection written on their faces.
She whimpered which was heard only by Advay. Unable to control her growing sobs any longer, Chandini rushed to their bedroom with a lightning speed. Few seconds later, Advay followed her suit and saw her crying helplessly seated at the edge of the bed. He closed the door behind him, the moment she saw him she immediately wiped the trails of water on her face. Advay kneeled in front of her and lifted her veil.
Advay's heart skipped a beat as he realised that the chunri she wore was the one from their roka ceremony. Raising her chin, he kissed her right cheek sensuously while she curled her toes in response. Her trance broke when she heard his husky tone coupled with harsh words and caressing her.
Advay - Chand mei lag gaya daag, Phoot gaye tumhaare bhaag (You are stained now, Your fate is ruined)
Holding his hand, she stopped his movements and said in an equally deep voice
Chandini - Kharaab hai kismat meri, Kyu ki shaadi hui hai aapse meri (My bad luck since I am married to you)
Chandini saw him turning red with anger and knew that she had hit the right spot.
Advay - Waapas toh aayi laut, Par pal pal maangogi maut (You did return but you will never live in peace)
She repeated his actions and touched his right cheek
Chandini - Nahi hai aapse darr, Jhukega nahi mera sar (I am not afraid of you and I won't bend down in front of you)
Hearing her reply, he gave a slight tug on her hair while she winced a bit.
Advay - Zamaane mei ho jiske badnaami ka charcha, Usse kabhi naa doonga biwi ka darja (A woman who is insulted by the whole world would never have the right of being my wife)
Advay's hold loosened on her hair, as she stunned him with her answer
Chandini - Rishta jodne ke aap the shaukeen, Yeh jaankar bhi ke mai thi charitraheen (You were more interested in marrying me even when you knew that I was characterless)
Chandini chuckled at his action but her smile faded as she saw him leaning close to her.
Advay - Naa pade fark tu rahe yaa naa rahe, Tu hai yaha isliye kyuki nani chaahe (I don't care about your presence, You are here only because nani wants it)
Advay saw a raging fire in her eyes as she uttered the next words
Chandini - Nahi aayi apni marzi se, Majboori mei bandhi hu aap jaise farzi se (I came here against my own will, I am tied to a fraud like you because of a grave reason)
He almost hovered over her while she tried to go deep in the sheets.
Advay - Hokar bhi tumhaara dushman, Ho tum meri dulhan (Even though I am your enemy but still you are my bride)
Chandini reciprocated in a cracking voice
Chandini - Kaisa hai yeh bandhan, Jo dil mei de chubhan (What is this relation which only stabs my heart)
Advay moved to her ears and whispering his poisoned words bit her earlobe.
Advay - Sadak par aaya tumhaara parivaar, Toota unka jhootha ahankaar (Your family is doomed and living on roads now)
Fisting his hair she pulled him away while Advay hissed in pain. Her eyes were filled with mad fury.
Chandini - Todungi aapka guroor, Hoga woh chakna choor (I will break your pride and crush it into pieces)
Roaming an index finger along the length of her arm, he entwined his fingers with hers.
Advay - Kabhi naa aaunga tere kareeb, Tujhe nahi hoga mera chhoona naseeb (I will never come close to you, You will never have the privilege to experience my touch)
Chandini showed him their intertwined hands and said cheesily
Chandini - Dekhkar mujhe hote ho bakaabu, Seekh lo karna apne aap ko kabu (You become uncontrollable when you are near me, Learn to restrict yourself first)
Looking deep into his eyes, she questioned him.
Chandini - Agar itni hi naapasand thi mai, Toh kyu kehte the 'sirf aapki hu mai' (If you dislike me so much then why did you keep on saying that I am only yours)
As she muttered those words, Advay looked at everything but her and retorted with a shaky voice
Advay - Mehsoos naa karu kuch nafrat ke alaawaa, Woh sab tha ek dhong, ek dikhawa (I don't feel anything except hatred for you, That was all a drama, a lie)
Her heart sank at his words but she composed herself. Advay saw a range of emotions on her face but it was quickly covered up.
Advay (rough tone) - Tumhe dard doonga itna, Aaj tak kisine kisiko diya naa hoga utna (I will give so much pain that you will curse your fate)
While Chandini retaliated in a determined voice
Chandini - Tutungi nahi itni aasaani se, Apni chaal chalna saavdhaani se (I am not so brittle, Be careful with your movements)
Touching his forehead with hers, he said in a baritone voice.
Advay - Nahi rakhna pyaar ki aarzoo, Milenge sirf aasoo (Don't have any hopes of love, You will only get tears in return)
Chandini's lips quivered at the proximity when she replied him
Chandini - Jiski fitrat hai nafrat, Uski nahi chahiye mohabbat (I don't wish to be loved by a man whose nature is hatred)
His eyes turned dark at her answer. He at once distanced from her and left the room leaving a confused yet strong Chandini behind.
