Ruhani pov

I opened my eyes slowly, when I felt sunlight coming from the window.  I sat down and spread my hands in the air and yawned.

" Good morning Suraj dada " I wished him with a wide smile on my face.

( Suraj dada - sun )

I don't have my family not even relatives so I made my own family. This beautiful, adorable, magical, Healer nature is my family. Isn't it amazing.

I got out of bed when I realized that if I did not empty my bladder it would burst. I ran towards bathroom. After doing my morning rituals and I also took shower.

After getting ready for Mahira's haldi, I started going towards the hotel other side where the haldi  was taking place.

On reaching there I saw that haldi had already started.  Both the bride and groom were sitting next to each other.  Some boys were applying turmeric to the groom.  Because of that I couldn't able to see the groom's face.

I went to Mahira and applied turmeric to her and said "congratulations senior" she hugged me and I hugged her back.

I was about to leave but stopped hearing a boy

"this is wrong, Mahira, your friend only applied turmeric to you but did not apply it to my brother." That boy said pouting.

" He is cute .If I had a brother he would be exactly like him." I thought.

"Beta apply turmeric to the groom also. " An elderly woman said . And I nodded.

I dip my hands in turmeric and looked at the groom but for my surprise he is already looking at me.
It made the situation awkward for me. I awkwardly smile at him and applied turmeric on his face.

" Congratulations" I said  and went and stood in the crowd.

Hridyam pov

I was sitting beside  Mahira doing this boring ritual . People are applying the same turmeric on my face again and again.  I don't know how many dirty hands have touched my face till now. It would have been better if I had shot all these people at once and celebrated my haldi with their blood.

Chains of my thoughts broke when I heard a melodious voice. I never heard this voice before. I looked to my left, a girl was hugging Mahira, I could not see her face because of her hair. A desire arose in me to tuck her hair behind her ear.

" What the fuck am I thinking?"

I turned my gaze towards the front.  The girl was about to leave but stopped after hearing Udit's voice.

"this is wrong, Mahira, your friend only applied turmeric to you but did not apply it to my brother."

I looked at that girl.  who turned after listening to Udit.

" beautiful"  the only word came in my mind after seeing  her .

" Fuck....fuck I have never admired the beauty of any girl, nor even in my dreams."

"Beta apply turmeric to the groom also. " Dadi said.

She bent a little to take the turmeric paste in her hand.  Her cleavage came in my view. She has a mole on her cleavage.

" You bastard Hridyam....you never seen a girl like this way before...fuck what is happening to me?"

Her brown orbs met mine and I lost in her eyes. She give me a smile or should I say an awkward one. Her soft hands touch my cheeks.

"She is soft like feather....wtf Hridyam singhaniya"

" Congratulations " she wished me.

" Her voice sounds like......fuck you Hridyam"

She left from there and disappeared into the crowd.

" Should I kill that crowd?"

" But for whom?"

" For her......No fuck this girl is making me insane.....I am wandering if she would be my wife she will make my life a blunder.....fuck off "

I stood up from there and went towards my room. The whole day passed and now I was ready for the PHERAS.

" Hridyam are you ready?" Dadi asked me entering inside.

" ji dadi"

( yes grand ma)

" you are looking very handsome. Thu thu thu" she said fake spitting on side.

"Dadi looked at me I am looking more handsome then bhai" Udit said back hugging dadi. He just came inside.

( Bhai - brother)

"No, today my Hridyam looks the most handsome.  When you get married, you will look most handsome." Dadi said lovingly patting his cheek.

" Thik hai toh ek sundar sushil Kanya dekhar meri bhi shaadi krwado fir mein apni shaadi me sabse handsome lagunga" udit said in excitement

(Okay, so see a beautiful and well-mannered girl and marry me too. Then I will look most handsome on my wedding day)

Me and dadi shook our head looking at his childness.

" But who will marry  an idiot like you?" Neel said entering inside.

"How did you call me idiot?  I am the most smart, handsome and kind boy of this group.  Leave me, who will marry you tin ke dabbe?" Udit said.

"when will these two grow up?"

" Anarkali look how your brother is calling me tin ka dabba" Neel said complaining.

" Bhai can hear tin ke dabbe" udit mocked him.

" you udit shut up or I will..." Neel warned him.

" haww ......dadi see how he try to scared me by his warning" udit said hiding behind dadi. Which is clearly a drama. He do that when dadi and I around him. Otherwise he always fight until he won.

Nobody can won from him in talks not even me.

" You two, shut up, otherwise I will not let you both eat my wedding meal." I warned them.The one who threatens to kill people, threatens to deny food to his friend and brother.

They both shut there mouth and didn't utter a single word.

" Good" I utter and walked outside with dadi.

AUTHOR POV

mahira was pacing back and forth in her room. worry was clearly visible on her face.

" No no...it can't be true" she muttered. Clutching the hem of her duppata.

" I can't do this marriage.  And after knowing that , my Vishal's child is growing in my womb. No way.... I can't marry someone else" She said caressing her belly.

" I love Vishal "

" I have to tell Hridyam....I can't cheat him"  she said wipping off her tears.

She called Hridyam and he picked it instantly.

" Why did you call me now? " He asked in his stern voice.

She gulped in fear hearing his voice.

" Meet me in my room please I need to tell you something very important. And please dadi ko apne sath Lana"

(bring grandma with you)

" What happen suddenly? "

" Please come fastly I will tell you everything" she said and hung up the call.

After ten minutes Hridyam knocked on her room and dadi is standing behind him. She opened the door and give a side to enter them inside. She locked the door.

" I can't marry you" she said with a trembling voice.

" Is marriage a jock for you ?" Narayan said in her anger filled voice. But Hridyam is still calm.

" No dadi it's not that's why I am saying I can't marry him." She said lowering her gaze.

" If you don't wanna to marry my son in a first place then why did you said yes ? We didn't force you?" Narayani said in anger.

" Yes dadi you didn't force me but my parents did....I told them I can't marry him because I love someone else but they didn't agree....they said if I didn't marry him they will kill my love" she broke in silent sobs.

" Then suddenly what happened to you?" Narayani asked but now her voice soften.

" I....am pregnant " she said. And this time a smirk crept on Hridayam's face.

" Is that boy ready to marry you?" Dadi asked caressing her head lovingly because she knows it's not her mistake.

" Yes dadi"

" But now what about our reputation which your family and you tried to ruin. No matter willingly or unwillingly " Hridyam said in his dangerous voice.

" Calm down down Hridyam nothing will happen to our reputation. Don't forget we are singhania's. We always know how to deal with situation" Narayani said with confidence.

" The marriage will definitely happen and it will happen today itself.  If not from Mahira, then Ruhani." Dadi said.

Hridyam eyes brows thinned listening her dadi.

" Who is Ruhani?" He asked her.

" Your would be wife" dadi said and left from there and ordered Mahira to call her family and ofcourse Ruhani and asked them to come on terrace.

"Who the hell is this ruhani now? "  Hridyam yelled in his mind.and followed his dadi. He knows that's the only thing he can't deny to his dadi.

They were all standing on the terrace.  And were trembling with fear.  Including Ruhani.  Because Hridyam's men were standing pointing there guns at them.

Narayan Devi was sitting on a big black arm chair which is screaming her power and all the five man standing behind her.

" Did you both force Mahira to marry or not?" Narayani asked in her cold voice looking straight in there eyes.

" Narayani Devi ji ..we.just" Mahira father trying to explain but cut off in middle when Hridyam shot his right leg and he kneel down. Everyone flinched except six persons who hold power.

" I don't like explanation" he said in his cold voice.

" Arghhhh" Mahira father groaned in pain. A another bullet hit his right hand and he again cried in pain.

Ruhani closed her ears and eyes and tears started flowing from her eyes. She is cursing herself to come here.

" Don't cry like a child... now tell dadi what she is asking" Hridyam said.

" Yes yes I forced Mahira" Mahira father said holding his wounds.

" Kill both of them except ruhani and Mahira" Hridyam ordered his  men and they killed them .

Mahira fell unconscious on floor and Ruhani sit on floor with a thud sound. Continuously tears flowing down from her eyes. This is too much for this poor soul.

" Ruhani marry my grandson" Narayani said to her now she has a softness in her voice. Her rough side came only when her family reputation came on stake.

Ruhani eyes widened listening her. But she didn't question once. She wanna to asked her why she is doing this to her.  But she didn't have courage.

" Yes or No ruhani" Dadi demanded for an Answer.

" yes"  her lips trembled and she broke in silent sobs. She wanna to scream No but she is a scared innocent soul . Who didn't know how to say no. She never fought for herself because she didn't have courage. No one taught her courage.

Ruhani looked at herself in mirror. She dressed like a bride. Her eyes are swollen because of constant crying. Looking her reflection in mirror only two words left from her mouth.

" Why me?"
