Car halts at the Rudravanshi villa. Randhir gets down meanwhile Ishani struggles to get down with that heavy bridal lehanga. Randhir getting annoyed jerks her out.
Ahhhhh the veil falls to the ground Ishani instinctively looks up. Her eyes widens as she stares at the very man who she met with just a few hours ago. Recognition and fear flashes on her face.
Whats wrong Mrs Rudravanshi are you surprised he asked smirking.
Wo... Wo... Mai... Mai...
Kya mai? mai? He takes a step towards her caging her between him and the car.
Kya hua? Muh mai dahi jam gaya?.
Aap .... Aap yaha? How?.. Ishani stammers her head spinning.
Ji hum. Randhir Rudravanshi aur aap aaj se Ishani Randhir Rudravanshi.
Ishani's jaw dropped. Fear flashing over her face.
Are are aap toh dar gai. I traces his finger along her jawline. Randhir na kabhi kuck bhoolta hai na kabhi kisi ka udhar rakta hai. Ishani's knees felt weak at his deep voice. His voice was both cocky and condescending.
He leans in and whispers in her ear. Aapki kismat bahut kharab hai Mrs Rudravanshi. Hum fir bhi apku Jane dete magar jo apne kiya hai uski saza to milegi.
A shiver runs down her spine.. ji hum... Nahi wo... It was a misunderstanding. I didn't mean it.... I was just protecting myself.. an alone girl on a deserted street and an unknown man who has dangerous rumors around him grabs your hand what could I do?..
Hmmm ye toh sach hai... Par Mrs Rudravanshi isiliye toh humne aapko Jane Diya. If I wanted you to stop you wouldn't have escaped. And even if you did my men could have found you easily in 15 minutes. Par hum aab kya kare aap toh hamre paas hi khud saza lene pahunch gai hai.
Isliye humne kaha aap ki kismat bhoot buri hai. He leans in closer his breath fanning on her face. Kamre mai chaliye hum apko batate hai. Saza ke liye taiyar raho.
He finally steps back at the sound of other cars reaching the villa.
Chale Mrs Rudravanshi aaj ki raat bhoot lambhi hai. It will be a very long night for you.
Dadi and other Rudravanshi family members get down from there respective cars.
Dad spots them and hushes them inside. Why are you both standing here chalo ghrapravesh ki rasam baki hai. Aur fir nahi Bahu ko sabse mila na bhi hai..
Dadi enters the huge villa and does all the ceremonies. The aarthi kalash ki rasam and the footprints. Everyone gather's at the living room. Chalo baccho yaha baitho. She takes a bundle of cash and rotate it around both there heads. Dono ko kisi ki Nazar na Lage. Sada suki raho suhagan raho . Dadi gives them blessings while ishani's brain was lost in thoughts... (Sada suhagan wo toh zaroor rahungi dadi ji. Because I will be the first bride to die on her first night at her sasural. Oh lord please help me. Kyu mere saath ye sab hora jis aadmi se dur rahana tha us sehi shaadi. She gulps remembering there first accidental encounter).
Ishani... Beta.... Dadi waves her hand infront of her face..
Huh ji? Ji ha boliye?.
Kaha khoi thi? Kahir jo bhi hai mai tum ko sab se milwati hu.
Beta Mai tumari dadi saas hu. Kalyani Rudravanshi.
Ishani nods and touch her feet. Fir beta kaha na hamare ghar betiya pair nahi chooti.
Dadi me .. I'm next... Hello bhaiya hello. Bahabi... I'm Abhir.
Dadi shakes her head. Ye Ghar ka chota hai. Mera dusra pota aur tumara devar.
Aur ye Shreya hai... Abhir aur Shreya twins hai.
Aur vikram abhi Ghar nahi aya shaadi ke kuch payments a kaam tha use par vikram mera dusra beta hai. Aur aab tumara chacha bhi.
Ishani greets everyone politely. The living room was filled with busy chatter and happy voices. While Ishani was panicking internally by Randhir's earlier threats. And beside her Randhir calmly sits watching her squirm a little every time his elbow touches her and quietly observed everyone simultaneously enjoying her internal panic.
Come on its late. Dadi announces. Let's go to bed we have a lot of time of ideal chatter later. Shreya baccha apni bhabhi ko room tak help kardo.
Ji dadi. Sheraya replies and helps Ishani upstairs to Randhir's room.
Bahabi ye bahi ka room hai. Unka taste kuch khas nahi hai toh aap dekh lena. Aur kuch bhi help hona hai toh ye Shri kabhi bhi ready hai apke liye
Thank you Ishani replied with a small smile feeling touched by her words.
Accha then I will also go I'm tired...
Good night.
Ishani enters the room alone. She looks around the massive room which was gray and black from celing to floor. With mahogany furniture. The room was minimal and little to no decoration. But strangely the room also smelled distinctively like him. His spicy cologne and his natural woody sent.
She hesitates in moving around.
A sharp click of the door closing brings Ishani backs from her thoughts she turns around and sees Randhir standing there. Still dressed like a dulha in his sherwani effortlessly looking handsome.
Randhir takes a step towards her his shadow towering over her.
But before she could say anything Ishani speaks up... I... I should get changed... I... She dashes towards the bathroom and lock her self in.
Randhir stood there amused. He also changes into a t shirt and sweatpants. He patiently waits for her.
Almost 15 minutes later Ishani peeks through the small gap she created by opening the door slightly. Then only she steps out seeing no one around.
She gets out of the bathroom.
Her heart pounding in the unfamiliar surroundings she sat on the soft plush bed.
Comfortable Mrs Rudravanshi? Randhir who was silently observing her antics spoke up his face expressionless even tho he was amused seeing her stumble around like a deer caught in headlight.
Ishani Freezes as Randhir walks towards her. She pushes herself back on the bed scared. He grabs her ankle before she could escape again.
His grip on her ankle tightens. While Ishani trembles. What are you doing? Let go of my ankle.
Randhir just smirks creasing her ankle bone.. his hand moves up sliding up then calf holding her immovable. Ishani closes her eyes trembling with fear. He reaches for his pocket and take out that anklet she left after there little encounter earlier today. Ishani flinches when the cold sliver touches her... She almost screamed in fear her mind going on all the wrong places overthinking about it again.
Randhir covers her mouth with her hand sencing her scream. Shhhh... Ek awaz nahi. He clips on the anklet with his both hands first then rest one of his hand on her calf and again cover her mouth to stop her from making any sound.
Abhi toh saza bhi baki hai he says intimidating her by gripping her calf harder..
Suddenly he feels warms tears wetting his hand and freezes. Ishani finally starts to cry her lips and eyes trembling.
He quickly removea his hand... Shh stop crying... He cups her face wiping her tears suprisingly tender for a man like him.
Ishani sobs... Please hame kuch mat karo... She sniffles..
He cups her cheeks shh... stop crying.
Aapne hamare saath zabardasti mat kijiye... Please Jane do hame..
Randhir's face darkened. Hum us type ke aadmi nahi hai. Hum apki marzi ke bhi na aapko hath Tak nahi lagainge. Humne ye baas apko darane ke liye kiya tha
I just wanted to scare you a little for that stunt you pulled on me on the road earlier today. This was just a payback for that kick. I wasn't planning to do anything not today and not even later.
But that was self defence she says defending herself.
I just asked you for a mabile to call for my driver since my car broke down. You came up with a wild theory about me.
I'm sorry... Isnahi apologises in a low voice.
Randhir sigh's let's some make things clear. I will respect you and Your choices and as a husband I will never force you about anything .I never had any expectations from you or this marriage. This is simply for my dadi you are free to do whatever you want but remember in front of my family you will act like my wife we will show the world a happy married couple other then that I don't care about anything behind closed walls.
Do you have any questions? He asked his voice was business like with no hint of warmth.
Ishani looks at him stunned. His words echoing in her head. She just nods . No i don't have any questions. She gives him a small smile. It would be a lie if his words didn't break Ishani's heart. She just kills the hope for a normal happy family after this conversation.
And remember this very clearly Mrs Rudravanshi I'm a man of my word and i hate betrayals so if you never want to see the Randhir Rudravanshi everyone talks about in real life then never cheat on me never hurt my family. You are my person as of today and a part of my family.. I will also protect you till never betray me.
And don't misinterpret my protection and care for love. Randhir Rudravanshi doesn't believe in love.
Ishani just nods his dominating presence towering over her. I also hate liars .. I will never cheat or betray someone Ishani answers.
It's good then we are on the same page. It's getting late now. Take some rest Mrs Rudravanshi. He says getting on the bed laying down.
But wait... Where will I sleep?...
Where does everyone sleep Mrs Rudravanshi? Randhir asked with sarcasm
On the bed she replied innocently with a serious tone.
He stares at her dumbfounded.
Then whats with the question?
I mean.... You are taking the bed... Ishani replies
We both will sleep on the bed Mrs Rudravanshi. It is big enough to fit 4 people.
But.... I... Ishani stammers
But what? Are you afraid that I will pounce on you .. or is it that you can't control yourself instead? Scared that you will pounce on me instead? He teases her
. Her face flushes .. no no i... I mean I never shared a bed... So .
Seeing her flushed face Randhir smirks enjoying seeing her flustered.
He clears his throat.
Me neither. But this is the start Mrs Rudravanshi we have many nights ahead so adat dalo. We will both share this bed.
Now good night. With that he turns off the lights.
To be continued.....
