The clouds were covering the sky. Soon it will rain. The monsoon is coming. The wind was blowing very fast. A car has stopped infront of Rajveer's house. A newly wed couple came outside. They both were looking like a statue. No expressions were visible on their face. They both are looking extremely dull and sad.

Life has took a complete turn within few days. Their whole life has changed. They slowly entered the house. The house was also looking pale. They both were standing at the living room silently don't know what to do.

From one of the room a girl came outside and went near the couple.

"Rajveer bhai, aap dono pehele puja kijiye, phir andar ja sakte hai,,vo family tradition hai ki naya joda puja karne ke baad hi apne kamre tak ja sakte hai"- kusum explained by holding naina's hand who was now looking at the floor.

Raj- kusum,,,,no need....main bht thak chuka hu, main apne kamre me ja raha hu....

Rajveer immediately left without giving any space for further argument.

Kusum smiled at naina.

Ku- naina,,,atleast tum mana mat karo,,,chalo akele hi puja kar lo....

"Koi zarurat nhi hai"

Both kusum and naina looked at the direction of the voice. Rani was standing just a little apart from them. Her expression was cold and rough. Naina immediately closed her eyes out of embarrassment. She was wishing the floor to be cracked and swallow her deep inside. Where she will hide her face??? The family which gave her love, support and warmth, she has become the reason of this families disdain.

Rani came near them and looked at naina with piercing gaze. Kusum also lowered her gaze out of fear. She feared her mausi a lot. She knows that if her mausi become angry on someone, its not so easy to calm her down.

Ra- jiski vaje se humare parivar me aur mere Rajveer ke reputation pe itna bara dhabba laga hai, vo mere mandir me puja nhi karegi,,,aur vese bhi yeh haq sirf is ghar ki bahu ka hai,,,aur main kisi unchahe meheman ko vo haq kabhi nhi dungi...

She spat all those words venomously at poor naina. A lone of tear escaped from naina's eyes. She was feeling extremely guilty and pathetic.

Ra- aur ek baat aj dhyan se sunlo,,,valehi rajveer tumse shadi kar chuka hai,,,par main tumhe kabhi bhi is ghar ki bahu nhi manungi.......aur jis tarah se tumne Veransh ko barbad kiya hai, us tarah se agar kabhi mere bete ko barbad karne ki koshis ki toh main tumhe nhi chorungi naina........

And she left after snapping her mercilessly.

Kusum looked at naina. She was feeling very pity for her. She placed her hand on her shoulder and try to console her.

Ku- naina, it's okay.....mausi dil ki buri nhi hai, vo bass tumse thori si naraz hai, plz ro mat.....tumhari koi galati nhi hai,,,jo kuch bhi hua vo.....

Naina- saari galati meri hai kusum...

Finally she spoke with a shaky voice.

Naina- main ek kala saya hu,,,jiski life me kadam rakhti hu usiki life barbad ho jati hai,,,mujhe kma ana hi nhi chahiye tha.....aj meri vaje se rajveer sir ko itna sab kuch sehena par raha hai,,,agar bhagvan ne meri kismat me Veransh ka naam likha tha, toh mujhe usi chez ko accept kar lena chahiye tha......

Ku- naina aise mat bolo.....tum rajveer bhai ke liye koi misery nhi ho,,,arre tumne toh unki reputation bachai hai....plz khud ko blame mat karo....

Kusum wiped naina's tears. She was feeling her pain with all her heart.

Rajveer was standing near the window by looking outside. He was in a deep thought. Suddenly he heard the cracking sound of the door and then he heard the sound of bangles.

Naina slowly entered. Now, she was standing behind rajveer. Rajveer sensed her presence on his back. He slowly turned towards her. She was looking breathtaking and gorgeous in this bridal attire.

Rajveer smiled at her.

Raj- ma ki baat ka bura mat manna.....vo mujhe leke bht zyada protective hai,,dad ke jaane ke baad ek main hi hu jiske sahare vo jee rahi hai,,,isiliye mujhe zara si bhi mushkil me nhi dekh sakti....

Naina looked at his eyes. They both were looking at each other for sometime. After a while they both shifted their gaze to another direction. A complete silence was existing between them. Now, they both were aware about their relation. They are not anymore in kma. They are not sharing any kind of senior junior relation. They are now husband and wife. The most intimate relation. But do they able to handle the depth of this relation? The circumstances bind them into this. They have not chosen this on thier will. Their fate bounded them in this relation.

Rajveer sat on the bed. Then he looked at naina and signalled her to sat beside him. Naina obeyed and sat beside Rajveer.

After a while rajveer spoke.

Raj- kitni ajb baat hai na.......i mean sab kuch badal gaya....

Rajveer sighed....

Raj- tum kuch bologi nhi??

Naina- kya bolu? Sab kuch meri vaje se to hua hai......

Rajveer looked at her.

Raj- galati to tumse hui hai naina......tum jisdin kma peheli baar ayi thi usidin se mujhe laga ki tum kuch chupa rahi ho,,,i wish ki tum Veransh ke baare me mujhe pehele bata deti,,,toh sayed aj hum dono is tarah se nhi fanste....

Naina- I'm sorry.....

Naina's voice chocked...she was crying silently....

Rajveer become restless. He immediately hold naina's hand and spoke with so much care and affection...

Raj- nhi naina....bass rona mat....mere samne

to bilkul mat rona.....main andaza laga sakta hu ki tumne kya kya jhela hai ajtak....kitne ansu bahaye honge tumne,,,par ab aur nhi,,,main hu na tumhare sath.....

Naina looked at rajveer with teary eyes. His each and every word showering her whole body with happiness.

Raj- vaada karo naina ki ajse apna har gham mere sath bantogi......i know ki tumhare liye yeh sab asan nhi hai,,,mere liye bhi nhi hai,,,par ab agar sath jur gaye hai,,,toh agey ka rasta sath hi taye karna parega.....

Naina smiled and nodded her head like a obedient child.

Rajveer also smiled at her.

Naina- mujhe laga tha ki aap bhi mujhse gussa ho......

Raj- main bilkul bhi gussa nhi hu,,,jo kuch bhi hua usme kisika koi kasoor nhi tha....aur itna mature main hu ki sensibly aur logically sab kuch soch saku.....

Naina- vo...aapne gunny ko call kiya tha? Unhone kuch bataya?

Raj- ha kiya tha,,,kal kma me meeting hai aur mujhe jana hoga,,,don't worry everything will be fine.....acha ab tum change karlo....

Naina was feeling very light hearted after talking with rajveer. Her guilt washed away a little after his warm gesture. Reyansh was right. Rajveer was the most sensible and mature person. How he dealt with the situation in the past few days makes naina really stunned and amused. He is a man of his own control. Really she is the most lucky girl to have him in her life. Naina promised herself that she will make his life beautiful. She will give him everything.

Naina slowly came outside after changing. Rajveer was doing something on his laptop. He looked at naina and smiled.

Naina noticed that he has already arranged the food. After watching the foor her stomach growled and she remembered that she had nothing within her stomach.

Raj- bhuk lagi hai na?? Mujhe bhi....jaldi ayo,,kusum abhi deke gayi hai...

Naina smiled shyly.

They both started to eat silently. After the dinner, naina washed the plates and came back to their room. She was surprised to see that rajveer took a pillow and came near her.

Raj- main pas ke kamre me ja raha hu,, aur tum yaha comfortably sho jaana okay....aur agar kisi chez ki zarurat hui toh mujhe bula lena.....good night....

Rajveer left the room. Naina was really feeling good now. He is a true gentleman in every sense.

Naina went near the bed and lay down. She remembered the first night of her first marriage where Veransh raped her brutally. But now, she didn't shiver with that memory. The memory only disgusts her in hate. Now, she can truly compare Veransh and Rajveer. Veransh is a demon while Rajveer is a man of honour.

Naina felt proud while thinking about Rajveer. Soon sleep consumed her.
