They finally reached THAKUR HAVELI

Devendra parked the car in their veranda

Gayatri was still asleep in his lap unknown to the world , He tried waking her up

Utho...

Uth...ghar aa gye

She didn't budge, he again while tried patting her cheeks , shaking her lightly in his arms ,

She resisted uhmm ,wiggling her head pressing herself more into him , tightening her hold

Annoyed he sighed , and again tried to move her head out from his crook

Kya afat hai...

Lastly, reached for the water bottle and pore the whole water on her face , drenching her and himself in the process

BAAD BAAADDDD BACH- ,She shrieked Waking up and wiggling in his arms as if drowning

He immediately cupped her mouth stopping her from screaming anymore

Ayy ,chup...

Koi baad nhi ayi h

Utho ghar aa gya hai !

Muhm muuumm....

KYA bak rhi ho, he asked confused

She patted his hand on her mouth , and he released her taking back his hand ,

Opening his side of door

He finally , got out of the car with her in his arms and then made her stand on the ground abruptly.

She was still sleepy , couldn't maintain balance and , SLIPPED

AIYAAA !!!! She wailed though it was not painful

Bacchi ho ,Dekhke nhi chal sakti,he snapped

Her eyes glistening

Ek to hame Bina batay bhyaah laaye , ab Chilla bhi rhe haiii , she started crying sitting on ground

Aay...Chup... chup..

She cried more loudly.

He took out and pointed his gun at her head,

CHUP EKDUM , EK AWAAZ NHI AANI CHAIYE!!

She stopped ,abruptly pressing her lips between her teeth ,trying to stop herself from making any sound , trying to hide herself more in her ghungat

He bent on one knee ,picked he up in his arms ,She immediately held his neck to prevent herself from falling and marched towards the Haveli gate ,

Seeing a girl in their SARKAAR'S embrace the armed guards outside haveli were stunned

, not believing what they were seeing

Still they lowered their heads in respect as he passes through them

The bell rang -

SHIVENDRA PRATAP SINGH THAKUR stood at the doorway like a relic of an unforgiving age

tall, rigid, unmoving.

Age had silvered his hair, not softened his will; his eyes still carried the cold authority of a man used to being obeyed.

The doorframe seemed too small for his presence, as if power itself had learned to take his shape.

It was clear that Devendra has inherited more than just a surname

Gayatri's POV-

The old man in front of us , called someone VIDYA , Aarti ki thaali lao

Across from my net ghungat I could see them ,

I was still in his arms

Then She appeared-

The wind chose violence. Her hair moved like it had a contract with a Hollywood director.

Soft glow, innocent face, slow blink

why was there background music in my head?

My brain short-circuited. My heart forgot its job description.

frozen, my eyes sparkling like I'd just seen a unicorn file taxes

I was still lost , I don't know when he put me down ,

She did our arti sprinkled rice on both of us , told me to push the rice filled pot with my right leg , even her voice was like a melody .

I did then put my both legs in a brass plate filled with Alta (red liguid ) then finally entered inside the haveli leaving of my feet behind

I was just 3 steps in the house

And!

My trance broke when I literally saw something human like flying in air and landed on my feet

Before I could scream!

A voice came " PARNAAM BAUJAAI "

I stepped back -

Then looked down and saw someone laid like a mattress on floor his head on my foot and hands joined ,

I gulped , as my now husband caught a fistful of his Kurta and placed him up on his feet a little away from me ,

I was soo confused ,when the old man from before stepped forward to my rescue

Darne ki koi baat nhi hai beta ,

Ham Shivendra Pratap Singh thakur, is gao ke Mukhiyaa aur tumhare ye pati ke dadaji

Ye tumhara devar Veerendra, he said pointed at the guy whom I assumed the flying mattress , he was grinning showing all 32 teeth

Aur ye tumhari Bhua saas aur Dev ki bhua , Vidya ,he pointed towards the celestial being I was eying earlier, standing there

Soo beautiful !!!

I moved and Bent down to touch dadu's feet but he stopped me ,

Betiya hamare yha Pau nhi chuti,

he patted my head Sada khush rho,

And I froze

BETI

The word again and again kept ringing in my head in a loop like a broken tape

This wasn't the first time I am hearing this , but for the first time it doesn't sound deceptive or uncomfortable,

It doesn't made my skin crawl like it does when Himesh kaka called me the same

Strange!

I collected my self

then was about to advance towards the Divine celestial devi ,

when she stopped showing her palm

It hurts why is she not looking at me !

I pouted ready to intervene but it was really late ,but I was too exhausted from sleeping all the way . So I let it go for now

She told my husband to take me to the room for rest , and ordered a maid to serve dinner in room only.

He held my hand and tried to lead me upstairs

I was literally exhausted so I stood still at my place ,

He turned to look at me glaring at me to move ,

When I didn't, he sighed and again picked me up in his arms in front of everyone, I was shocked but more than that I was tired ,

Looking at this his younger brother I knew he was about to comment, but shut his mouth seeing my husband's glare

Aakhe bahaar aa jayenge , I wanted to tell him but decided not to,

He then took me to the room ,

He opened the room got inside put me down on bed i bounced ,

and he left towards the balcony without saying a word , closing the door behind him with a thud !

Now I was alone in the room , I decided to change my clothes but unfortunately I don't have any ,

So I roamed my eyes around the room and found his cotton white Kurta lying carelessly on his chair ,

Before that I decided to remove this fake jewelry and 1000s of pins in my hairs ,and keep safe the only real thing I had was the gold baalis which are with me for as long as I can remember ,

I saw a mirror and a seat in front of it, I sat there and removed my necklaces one by one ,

In between I heard a click sound , and saw from the mirror reflection he entered inside room and sat on the edge of bed doing something in his phone and but didn't even spared glance at me ,

My patience was thinning, first form all the events of today ,now these hair pins stuck in my hair are ,hurting as hell and on top of that I was hungry !

And the thin thread broke ,

tears filled my eyes , and I didn't control and started crying out loudly ,I didn't care if he or anyone listen,

I was pulling the pins along with my tangled hairs some of it also stuck to my ring and hurt even more now,

Just as I was crying suddenly I felt a hand on my mouth and a presence behind me ,

KAHE ROO RHI HO , hamare ghar waale to waise bhi hame darinda hi samajhte hai

To Sahi samajhte hai , hai aap ,

Idhar ham itte Kasht Mai hai Aur aap dekh hi nhi rhe I said hitting his on biceps ,

Then he snapped

He held my both wrists tightly my red glass bangles broke and pierced in my hand ,he twisted and held them from his 1 hand behind my back caging me ,

Other hand came to my jaw , he held without any ounce of care ,with so much force that it hurts

BAAS !

Bahut sun liya hamne

kuch keh nhi rhe hai ise tumhari acchi kismat samjho

Aur-

Aukaat m rho apni samjhi aainda hamse Oonchi awaz m baat ki ya nazre bhi mila li na to jaan nikaal lenge ,

DEVENDRA SINGH THAKUR , naam hai hamara!

Aur kya Natak laga rakha hai, koi mayane nhi rakhti tum ya ye 2 kodi ki shaadi hamare liye , hamse jitta ho dur hi rhe samjhii

Hamne apne mtlb ke liye shaadi ki hai, vo Pura hote hi , nikaal phekenge apni zindgi se !

She was NUMB no further tears

his words were meant to crush her

They were thrown casually, like she wouldn't dare flinch on her wedding night,

like she should accept them as fate.

For a moment, silence wrapped around the room

but it didn't break her , she owned it

She had been alone her whole life.

An orphan doesn't learn obedience

She learns survival.

Yes, the words hurt,

Because it was after a long time she HOPED again just a little,

For the first time she EXPECTED a little more than what is given to her,

Because maybe she thought for the first time she was CHOOSEN,

But all the hope expectation drained after his out burst ,

They cut deep, reopening wounds she had stitched herself in the dark.

But pain had never been her end only her fuel,

She had grown up raising herself, answering to no one, bending only to hunger, fear, and the stubborn will to live.

She was not the one to bent or walk away,

this was her destiny, this was her fate and she would embrace it till death Cacoon her,

She wiggled her hand came free ,she pushed him hard, and

SLAP-

she slapped him

His head snap due to force , eyes widen-

She paused for a second then realised what she Did ,

She stared at her hands ,shaking ,

Without thinking she took steps towards him Cupped his face with her both hands , pulled his face near hers checking the damage she caused ,

Are re re re re !!

Ye..ye to apne aap hi-

Aapki kasam itti zor se nhi lagane waale the

P..pta nhi kaise....!

M..Maaf kr dijiye....

Tears filled her eyes , not because she feared him ,or the outcome of her actions

It was because he was her husband and now he was hurt.... because of her !!

Hey hanumaanji ,ye hamse kya ho gya , paap ho gya , anarth ho gya ‐

hey Mata rani !! , she wept mumbling to herself,

Still cupping his cheeks

When he didn't said anything further

She took the Kurta front chair and ran to the washroom to escape him
