chapter 11

Aarushi's pov

I tried to get up from cold floor my back paining almost my whole body paining its aching. But what's the pain in my heart from my brother's words it's the worst.

I sit on the floor with the support of bed. I hate my this emotional side of myself. I  am feeling helpless doesn't I protect myself? But did anyone feel to protect them on their damn home from their family? If isn't than why me.

Why I'm suffering from all of this. I wanted just a normal life from the very beginning but alas I never had. And about the future does I'm really going to becoming someone's slave.

No no no I didn't let touch anyone my body. I prefer to die rather than to be on bed with that type of filthy person.

I looked out of the window which have iron rods its lightly dark outside sun is about to coming. Hope it's never rise this night become last long hope this night becoming longer and engulf me in itself to protect me from outside brightness.

I'm continuously staring outside the window I have no energy and no mood to get up and get ready to becoming a corpse a living one. When the sun rise fully my room door open and bhai came in.

He looked at me horrified probably because of my messy condition. He sit near me on the floor. We both sit there in silence I have questions but I know the way he will gave me answer it break me more.

"You need to get ready" he told me

I turned my face and looked at him. His facial features remind me mumma. Those eyes smile nose everything. Mumma loves him more than us sisters and when we were child we fight on whom mumma loves more. I miss those days.

"Why you did this to me"? I can't help and asked him the question which I wanted to know

He take a deep breath and stare at wall and said

"You wanted to know"

"Yes"

"I am helpless Aarushi only you help us. I don't wanted to told you all those things but what can I say"

"Please bhai"

"When Papa started his business Mr Rathore invest in that and when Papa went to back his money he said he didn't want money but just a favor and that favor he told years after some days ago. I didn't know all about these but when I go through old papers I know about this. Mr Rathore wanted you to get marry his son".

I know how Papa working hard to maintain his business he loves it. And also I knew how it's difficult for him to start all of these from scratch.

"Then told them I don't wanted to do"

"You thing I don't try but you didn't know how much they are dangerous people and for their motive they went to  what extent....... they threatened me if you didn't get married to him he kill all of us including Manisha's family"

I shocked by hearing him. Di jiju and kittu they are my real family though I'm worried about bhai and bhabhi too but they are mine in real sense. Kittu he just a child how can anyone fell to that stoop  to harm other to get a bed warmer.

"Think about it Aarushi and get ready quickly they are arrived in 15 minutes to get us the wedding venue"

How someone being so low of himself and not him his whole family. They all want to fulfill their son desire and when he getting bore of me he abandoned me.

If he wanted just a body of a girl for sometime then why me. He have money many girls ready to become his without any commitment but he wanted me intact wanted my body but want to hide his demon deeds behind the name of marriage. Just a creep person he is.

Tushar bhai went and bhabhi came in my room without saying me anything she get my bag pack. So this is happen this is really happen I'm getting married to a creep man who treat me like a slut.

I stand up with the help of bed and wall and slowly went to washroom. I saw myself in mirror probably look like a homeless person in fact I'm.

I take a shower and pick my white anarkali suit with long sleeves wear it becauseI had to hide the burning. I became numb my body became numb. I didn't apply anything on my face nor I'm interested. I let my hairs open and cover my head with white dupppta because this time this color symbol as a death. Death of Aarushi death of her dreams death of her life, she dead for whole world.

(Her outfit)

Bhabhi packs my bag I didn't know what she packs what not I didn't have any interest in this. I get ready and sit on bed. I'm feeling weak because I didn't eat anything from past days. But I didn't have any appetite.

Priya bhabhi went outside and this time she didn't lock the door. I went outside and saw bhai eating his breakfast and bhabhi ran from her room to bhai to show him her outfit and asked him. He smily answer her didn't he was helpless some hours ago

I went in my parents room and sit on bed. If they both are here they didn't let this happen. They care for me they truly love me they are my everything. But destiny didn't want to saw me happy everytime when I thing I'll going to be okay something happen and it shattered me more.

Author's pov

Mishra ji came are per ordered by Avinash with papers and drivers he handed the papers to Tushar and tell him to get ready as they going to wedding venue. Priya and Tushar both danced in excitement as they saw the papers and here Tushar already prepaid papers for transferring all the shares to him and Priya.

Tushar took papers and went to his parents room saw Aarushi sit there sobbing. He call her and she looked at him with her red doe eyes

"Bhai please save me"

"Shut up now and sign this papers"

He forwarded some papers to her. She looked at those papers but didn't read it

"What is this'

"This says that now there are no debt of Rathore's on us and you ready to marry him willingly"

She only staring at those papers. They are not papers for her its a suicide note for her.

"At least sign for kittu his life is in danger"

Aarushi sign them instantly she felt like she sign her death certificate.

Aarushi is in her parents room have  weird feeling, approach her like her father trying hard to stop her to do this and her mother crying looking at her daughter condition. But all in vain in that moment no one is with her.

All of them going outside where Mishra ji with guards and cars were waiting for them. Aarushi didn't trying to look at those people it's hard for her to make eye contact with any one.

She keep her head down and sit in car with Tushar and Priya. They both are on cloud nine Firstly they got lots of money and also they get rid off from Aarushi.

Soon they reached one of the resorts of Rathore's where wedding happen. Whole Rathore family present there with Krish and Harshita to welcome them except Avinash he was in his office here to complete some work.

Aarushi came out of car and looked at around. Guards with rathore logo and beautifully decorated entrance. Then her eyes laid on those persons whose she met that day. She didn't knew there name till now but now she didn't want to know. Suddenly something click in her mind if this family is her would be in laws than probably that person with intimated eyes her would be husband.

Now his gazed making her uncomfortable she feel insecure in her own skin.

She feel regretted to believe that those people are good not like others she believes that that they shows love and care towards her are true but she wrong.

Radhika came and hugged her and patted her cheeks.

"How are you bacha"? Radhika asked with a motherly care and love. Aarushi sense that but she feel more betrayed now.

Priya poked her from behind to tell something and Aarushi said good with a faint smile.

"Touch their feet" Priya told Aarushi in low voice in her ears.

Aarushi without any emotions bend to touch Radhika feet but she held her shoulder her nodded her head gave her a warm smile.

When Aarushi bend to touch Karan and Dadu feet they did the same and patted her head gave her blessings.

Aarushi saw Abeer and Harshita she saw them both in college as everyone knows them as Rathore siblings. And besides them two more boys standing there with a smile on their faces.

Harshita jumped and hugged her on excitement making everyone smile.

"Welcome bhabhi" She said her with a wide smile Aarushi just smile seeing them.

"Harshu let's get your bhabhi take some rest ok you have lots of time for introduction" Karan said and told Radhika to took Aarushi to her room.

Aarushi back off and looked down in nervousness not wanting to have all of this but at the same time she wanted to trust the warmth and care they hold.

Radhika along with Harshita and Priya take Aarushi to her room. It's most beautiful room with a pool side view. Aarushi's bridal dress and jewelry already present there.

"Aarushi beta you take some rest I send something to eat ok then mehandi artist will come for your mehandi" Radhika said to her and she unknowingly nodded her head

She looked so nervous and dull that everyone sense that. They thought that its normal nervousness before the wedding yet they tried to talk with her to calm her.

Radhika made Aarushi sat on bed and sit beside her. She gave Aarushi all the jewelry and said

"Aarushi if you didn't like anyone of these you have to told me and I will get it changed. Actually Avi told us yours decision in such in hurry that we didn't have much time to prepare but I promise one think that you will get all love care respect from us which you deserve"

Aarushi looked at her with teary eyes she didn't believed that how her son is opposite to her. She talking about love and respect and her son hell bent to destroy her life behind the name of this sacred bond. Either his family didn't know his real face or tried these act to hide it.

Soon Radhika and Harshita went and Aarushi saw Priya to looked at those jewelry and dress to much desire with a greed extent. Her mouth hang open to saw the most antique design of that. She tried to calculate the price of all these but the zeros went outside from her minds.

Soon a waiter came with food, fruits and dry fruits. Aarushi didn't have any appetite so she ignored it and looked outside of the window.

"Eat something" Priya told her eating a mouthful almonds.

Aarushi turned to looked at her and said no

"Eat something otherwise you fainted after and that would be husband of yours eat us alive"

Aarushi remembered the threat instantly and sit with a huff to eat something just as she want to need to alive one day.

Priya looked at her with side eyes and says "by the way that are all the drama of them don't believe them"

"I didn't believe anyone now" Aarushi said without any emotions on her face and eat only one chapati and went to washroom to wash her hands.

Other side Avinash sit in his office here in resort and looking at the cctv camera where his family welcomed Aarushi. He repeat all these footages and observe her every action how timidly she nodded at everything and looked like a goddess in white. This sight is enough for him to reach on a conclusion.

"Bro something is wrong" Krish came in his office and said with a huff.

"I know" Avinash said still looking at his monitor.

Krish tilted his head to see what he is doing and not surprised to looked at that.

"Then what did you think" he asked him

Avinash still looking at monitor with concentration and them he get up from his chair and said

"that I might be late for my own wedding"

Krish muttered him a curse and both went outside of office towards their room.

On the other side two mehandi artist came in Aarushi room. Priya told them both to put a minimal mehandi design as Aarushi want but in real she tried hard to not to show the burn mark to them. Littlebit she know that if anyone from Rathore family know about this they didn't take a minute to punish her.

"What's the groom name?" That mehandi artist asked Aarushi who lost in her thoughts and came back from her voice.

"I didn't know the name of my tormentor" She thought.

"Avinash Singh Rathore" Priya said to them.

"Avinash, Avinash Singh Rathore

The tormentor" She thought. Her eyes welled up to thought the worst scenario of her life. Already her life is a hell and now she is going to a hell.

Soon Aarushi's palm and feet adorned with mehandi. She looked at that and sobbed silently.

She didn't have any energy to get up and went to bed to sit. She sit on chair for two hours her back paining she feel the bile in her mouth she looked at Priya who sleep on bed.

After two hours Priya get up when someone banging on the door. She lazily say on bed and looked at Aarushi gave her look why didn't you open the door. But Aarushi is not a mood to answer to them she already look pale.

Priya get up and open the door and saw Radhika and Harshita with two other ladies probably the makeup artists. Priya gave them a fake smile and greet them inside.

Aarushi looked at them and stand up instantly.

"How bhabhi your mehandi looks perfect" Harshita exclaimed in happiness. So as Radhika.

Radhika told Aarushi to wash her mehandi because its time to get ready for wedding. Aarushi's back paining but she didn't utter a word and went to washroom to take a bath.

Soon Radhika and Harshita went to ger ready and order the makeup artists to work as Aarushi's preferences.

Priya looked all of these to great envy but she gulped everything remind herself the money they will get after this.

Aarushi came back after taking bath and the makeup artist took her the dress to wear. She take it and went to washroom but instantly followed by Priya who came with her bridal chooda there.

Priya held her wrist which are not burnt and forcefully wear her that .

"I can wear it my own" Aarushi pleaded but all in vain.

It's like Priya get peace to see her crying.

Aarushi hissed in pain when Priya held her burnt wrist in squeeze it on her injury. She let out a painfully scream but not that loud to hear outside.

"Listen to me carefully hide this mark of yours from your would be husband no men want a tainted wife and if he get to know about this he will increase punishment of your" Priya spilt venomous words while wearing her chooda which gave her mild cut on that injury. She everytime shriek in pain but Priya didn't let her go.

Finally after wearing her chooda she went out ordering her to came in five minutes. Aarushi looked her reflection in mirror and said in her mind

"Aarushi was alive"

She came out and sit before dressing table both makeup artists did her work while Priya went to her room to get ready.

After two hours Aarushi finally ready she didn't even looked at her self in mirror. She lost in her thoughts remember every moments of her life either it's good or bad. She have no energy for all of these now.

"Hayee bhabhi you look like a princess" Abeer's words startle her. She turned and looked the familiar faces she saw when she came here.

"Bhabhi let me introduce us" Abhishek came forward and introduced them.

"I'm Abhishek Singh Rathore. Your brother in law"

"He is Abeer Singh Rathore, your second brother in law"

"He is Krish Sighania. Your husband's best friend"

"And she is our sister Harshita Mishra"

Aarushi looked at their happy faces and curse her life that if for one second she wanted to be all this real this bond will be real. Their faces and those affection for her making her forget all those things for some minutes

They all greet her and she could not resist herself and said "Hy " in her sweet voice.

But her voice making them surprise.

"Bhabhi your voice is so sweet." Abhishek said making her shy. She looked down making all of them chuckled.

"Not surprised why Avi ready for this marriage." Krish said knowing how whipped his best friend on his would be wife. But his words making Aarushi uncomfortable.

They all sit their for some minutes talking Aarushi listen them and smile to seeing how they tease eachother and bickering like the real siblings.

"Did I really going to be a part of this family or its all just a mere delusion" She thought
