Hridyam and Ruhani were standing facing each other.  Ruhani's eyes were lowered and tears were flowing.  Whereas Hridyam was just staring at Ruhani.

" Var aur vadhu ek dusre ko mala pehnaye" pandit ji said.

( The bride and groom exchange your garlands with each other) priest said.

Narayani brings a tray in which two garlands were kept and asked Ruhani  to pick one of them.  Ruhani picks up the garland with trembling hands. Hridyam also picks up.

Ruhani tries to garland Hridyam but is unable to do that .because there is a lot of height difference between them and Hridyam was not ready to bow down.

" Kya Bhai thoda toh jhuk jao meri pyari bhabhi ko problem ho Rahi hai" udit said.

(What brother, please bend down a little, my dear sister-in-law is having a problem)

All four boys look at Udit in shock.

" Pyari bhabhi ?.... when this happened" Hridyam thought.

" Don't forget Hridyam he is Udit singhaniya....he made relation with people in seconds" Hridyam thought.

" Hridyam singhaniya aaj tak na toh kisi ke samne jhuka hai aur na hi kabhi jhukega " he said in his stern voice looking at innocent face of ruhani.  Listening him Ruhani looked at him and this time there eyes met.
Ruhani try to read his eyes but unable to do.  And he only can see is fear, innocence and ofcourse  tears. Her eyes turned red because of constant crying.

" If her eyes look so beautiful while crying then how beautiful they will look when smiling." He thought.

"Okay, if you can't bend then we will lift our sister above you." Three of them said  together. ( Neel , ojas , Mihir)

" Lagta hai mere sath rehkar tum log bhi samajhdaar ho gaye ho " udit said giving them a wide smile.

(It seems that by living with me you people have also become wise.)

" Someone's bhabhi , someone's sister but what mine?" A thought came in his mind.

His chain of thoughts break when he heard her giggle. He looked at her. She giggled for a second when four of them pick her up in air. She held udit shoulders for support.

" Bhabhi ab pehna do Bhai ko mala" udit said

(Sister-in-law, now garland  brother.)

After exchanging their garlands. Hridyam sit around holy fire and Ruhani settled herself on couch.

" Ma durga amake raksa karuna" Ruhani prayed interly in Bengali.

( Maa Durga please protect me)

" Vadhu ko bulaiye" priest said.

( Call the bride)

Narayani makes Ruhani sit next to Hridyam. Priest start chanting mantras.

Priest asked them to stands up from there place. Hridyam stoods up but ruhani not. He held her arms and made her stand with a jerk. They both took seven rounds around holy fire and make seven vows. But for Ruhani they didn't meant.

He tied  nuptial chain around her neck. Then filled her hair line with vermilion.

" Aaj se saat janmo ke liye aap dono pati patni hue" priest announced.

(From today you both become husband and wife for seven births)

Tears rolled down from her cheeks witnessing her fate. He held her chin with his hand and whispered in her ear " Welcome to my dark world Ruhani" he put weight on her name.
She felt goosebumps erupted in her body hearing his dangerous whisper. She closed her eyes immediately,  clutched her lehnga tight.

" Maa save me please" she prayed to ma durga.

" Bhaiya humne aapka bhi farewell kar diya ....bye Hume aapki bohot yaad aayegi" udit wiped his fake tears.

(Brother, we have bid farewell to you ...Bye, we will miss you a lot)

" What? " Hridyam asked him not understanding.

" Mene aapko humare akhand single Wale group se nikal diya.....quki ab aap single nahi rahe ab aapke pass meri pyari bhabhi hai......ab jaldi se hum sab ko chachu bna do" udit said being excited.

(I removed you from our group of singles… because now you are no longer single and you have my lovely sister-in-law… now quickly make us all uncles )

" control udit control. It takes nine months for a child to be born and if Hridyam works hard from now on, then by next year we will all become uncles." Mihir explained udit like a mature person.

Hearing this Ruhani face turned red with embarrassment. Same goes to Hridyam.

" wow mihir you have become so wise" Neel and ojas said at  same time.

Narayani shook her head listening there talks.

"I guess I'll have to get all four of you married too" Narayani said.

"Please tell me when to do it, where to do it, I  will reach there." Four of them said together in excitement.

Narayani looks at them incredulously.

" Lagta bachpan se bicharo ki bass ek shaadi karne ki hi iccha hai. Wo bhi lagta hai iss jallad ne puri nahi hone di hogi " Ruhani thought.

(It seems that since childhood, poor souls have only one desire to get married. It also seems that this executioner would not have allowed it to be completed.)

" Now bhai also get married. Now it's our turn afterall we all are single because of him" udit said.

" Look I said this is also because of this jallad. How smart I am." Ruhani patted herself pridely in her mind.

"Come on, let's go home now" Narayani said.

Hridyam and Ruhani bent down to take Narayani blessings. Although Ruhani does not want to do this. But she didn't have courage to deny.

Ocean mention ( house of Singhaniya's)

Two BMW entered inside the ocean mention followed by four g wagon.
In first BMW narayani, udit and ojas are sitting and in second one Hridyam and Ruhani. G wagon filled with tons of bodyguards.

Neel and Mihir already left for their home.

Ruhani pov

After 5 minutes a house was shown.  This house is at a distance of 5 minutes from the main gate and if you walk on foot then it will probably take you 20 minutes to reach there.

the place is surrounded by empty land in which various types of trees were growing.  This place was so big that I couldn't even see its boundary.  This place was far away from the noise and bustle of the city.  And there was complete silence, only the chirping of birds, blowing of wind and the strong waves of the sea were heard.

The car in front of us stopped in front of that big house which is screaming luxury.  I thought that all of them must be living here but no, his car did not stop in front of that house.  My heart, which was already scared, now became more scared at the thought that I would be alone with this jallad.

I looked at him. He is engrossed in his phone. I wanna to ask him where are we going. But I don't have courage. So I decided to sit silently.

After 5 minutes his car stopped and I looked outside. There is a house which is smaller than the first one. But luxurious. This house also black in colour.

He stepped out from his car and opened the door for me. His gesture made me look at him in shock because I didn't expect this.

" I don't have the whole night for this" he said in  his cold tone. I came outside and he closed the door. I looked at the house in wonder because the house is so beautiful and in night it's looks more beautiful.

My chains of thought broke when he left me alone outside in this empty endless land. Which is surrounded by darkness. And I hate darkness because its scared me. I hurriedly went behind him. This house is not that big but still I am new here so I don't know where to go so I just follow him. He entered inside a room so me to.
Looking at the room my eyes widened.

"How will I live my rest of life with him?" The room was surrounded by darkness. Even after turning on the lights that room is still dark.

She is following me and I don't know why but I like this. I turned to tell her that this is our room. But looking at her condition my eyes widened. Her body is shaking in fear. Sweat bead forms on her forehead. Her breath got uneven.

" Fuck .......she is getting panick attack"

I ran towards her and hugged her tightly. It remind me something. This is what Neel used to do  in past when I used to got panick attack because of darkness.

She clutched my shirt tightly which I changed in hotel before leaving from there. I caressed her head.

" Hey it's alright. You are fine. I am here with you." I whispered some lovely words to her. I don't know it's is working or not. I whispered these words to her until she calm down. I looked at her she is already slept and it make me smile.

" Wait...did I just smile looking at a girl"

" She is not any girl idiot she is your wife" My inner self spit facts.

" Yeah I know she is my wife but she definitely hates me" I said looking at her innocent face.

" How can be someone so innocent in this cruel world"  I said picking her up in my arms . And made her lie down on bed. She seems so uncomfortable in this bridal lehenga. I can't even call any female worker because it's twelve in midnight.

"Should I change her clothes?" I asked myself in confusion but looking at her uncomfortable state "yes I should change her clothes afterall I am her husband."
I picked her suitcase from the hall which is kept here by the driver. I took out her kurta set. Turn off the lights and closed my eyes. I removed her clothes and made her wear kurta set. I didn't looked at her not even for once but my hands touched her body. Even those parts I probably shouldn't have touched. I didn't touched them intentionally. But now I am hard.

" Now I have to take cold shower in January..... bhalayi ka zamana hi nahi hai" I shook my head and went to washroom.

( This era is not for goodness )
