As soon as the sun set and everything around turned dark, Malhotra's farmhouse lit up with lights.

Everyone watched in awe as they saw how the venue was decked up like a bride.

Avyaan’s barat reached the venue where they were welcomed by Sadhika. He was made to sit on the stage as there was still some time for the wedding.

"So finally getting married ,huh!!" Ajay asked his friend who only smirked in response, making him laugh.

Soon the slow music started to play in the background. Everyone looked at the way from which our bride entered under the shawl of flowers which was being held by her cousins .
Everyone was mesmerised seeing how magnificent Niyati looked in her bridal attire.

She was brought to the stage and made to sit beside Avyaan. Her brown eyes met with his deep brown eyes who gave her a smile which brought a shy smile on her lips. There was a different glint in his eyes which made Niyati blush even more.

The guests started to come one by one to greet the couple and give them gifts.

Today some very close business associates of the Malhotra family have joined for the celebration.

"Di, she is my girlfriend Vaani…Vaani Rao." Sanjay came to the stage and introduced his girlfriend to Niyati

"Di, congratulations. You are looking so pretty. "  Vaani hugged her, who hugged her back.

Sehgal family met Vaani some months ago when he for the first time introduced her to his family. Now it's the second time they are meeting her.

"Thank you , thank you so much for coming." Niyati said to her. Avyaan also shook his hands with her and nodded in acknowledgement.

Olivia, a colleague and friend of Niyati, also came and greeted them.

The photographers were clicking the pictures as well.

"You are looking very beautiful. " Avyaan complimented her which made Niyati blush.

"And you are handsome. " She replied softly, looking at him, who was looking great in white and golden sherwani.

Saanvika was talking with Vaani and was looking towards Sathvik from time to time. But she was disappointed as he never looked at her or acknowledged her.
But she was determined today that she would make a first move today.

She has dressed herself in a gorgeous pink lehenga that was beautifully embroidered . She tied her hair in a braid which was adorned with a beautiful hair accessory. She has adorned herself in a beautiful Kundan set to complete her look.

"Hello Ladies and Gentleman, "

Hearing Avyaan's voice through the microphone, the chattering stopped as everyone looked in the centre where  the groom himself was standing with a Mike in his hand.

"What's he doing?" Sathvik asked.

"No idea. " Prisha replied, shrugging her shoulders.

"Today, it is a very special day for me. I am going to get married to the love of my life — Niyati. Thank you everyone for joining us.
Niyati, you have been very special to me from the very first time we met. Yes, I know that I am a bit unromantic and never did or gifted you something on any occasion. " Avyaan said, scrunching his nose a bit. Niyati shook her head with a smile.
Like everyone she was also surprised and clueless thinking what he was going to do.

"So, I have prepared a special gift for you and I know that you will like it..and I am damn sure that you will remember it forever." Avyaan said to her.

The light turned dimmed and everyone waited patiently for the gift.

"This is a memorable journey for us from the beginning till now." Avyaan's voice echoed the place and soon the pictures were started to display to everyone through the projector.

The first picture was a photo of them together which was taken by Sanjay when the Malhotra family went to Sehgal house for the first time with the marriage proposal. Niyati chuckled looking at the picture where they both were looking very awkward.
The second picture was a selfie of them from their first date which was clicked by Niyati.

The families were enjoying and smiling looking at the memories of the star couple of tonight.

Just like this the pictures of their dates, family gatherings,  then engagement came on the screen which brought a beautiful smile on Niyati's face seeing the effort which Avyaan put on the gift just for her.

But the smile didn't last long.

Niyati's eyes widened in shock when she looked at the screen.

Parthiv and Sadhika looked at each other in confusion when they saw the screen. It was beyond their thinking that Avyaan would do something.

The projector was displaying the cursed pictures of Niyati's life — the pictures which was going to shake her world — the pictures of Niyati with the unknown guy in the hotel, in a restaurant and one in an intimate position in the washroom of a hotel.

Everyone was looking at the pictures with their eyes widened in shock. The guests started to murmur among themselves.

Soon the lights were on .

"Surprise !!!! So how's the surprise,my dear ? Truth to be told, I was also surprised when I first saw the pictures…but my family, my relatives and my close friends should know what kind of girl you are.
So here is the glimpse of it."Avyaan said to Niyati dramatically.

"What's…What's all these, Avyaan? I already told you about it, right? Why did you do this?" Niyati asked in a quivering voice after coming out of the shock. By now tears started to pour from her eyes. Never ever had she dreamt that her to-be husband would do something like this. But her main question was why he did this when he was aware of what had happened to her !!!

"What's all these? What are you doing? What's happening here?" Anish asked his son.

Sathvik and Akshat looked at each other in shock. The Malhotra family was shocked – would be an understatement.

"Oh yes…you told me. You told me that you met your old friends in Kolkata… and your “friend” , this guy also “surprised” you there.
Do you really think that I would believe it when I already knew that you were cheating on me from God knows when!!!?" He said sarcastically to Niyati and yelled at the end.

She stumbled back a step in astonishment as she heard the accusation of Avyaan. A shocked Saanvika held her.

Cheating on him!!! She can't even think about it.

"Enough is enough, Mister…You know her very well..she won't do anything like this."  Saanvika said to him sternly. She was furious at him for doing all these.

" Avyaan, what are you doing? It's a family matter…
Why are you publicly humiliating Niyati ?" Sathvik said to his brother angrily.

"Humiliating her ? I am not humiliating her. I am just showing the people her real face. I just want to show people that behind the innocent face there is a big cheater who cheated on her fiancé. " Avyaan said.
He walked towards Niyati  and stood in front of her.

"Tell me Niyati,you wanted to marry me because of the money, right? " He said .

"What's nonsense about this? What rubbish are you saying about my daughter?
My daughter  is capable enough to earn her own money. How could you accuse her like this? " Sadhika yelled angrily .

"See see bhabhi…What kind of girl have you chosen for your son? She already ruined his life….now she is ruining our prestige as well with her characterless nature." Anusree yelled out loudly.

" Bua ji , enough….Stop, stop pouring oil on the fire. Avyaan, stop this nonsense." Sathvik said angrily.

“Yes. Avyaan, stop it. What the fuck are you doing?” Ajay asked him in anger.

" Why would I cheat on you? Do you really think I can do it? You also know how much I love you." Niyati said while crying.

Avyaan laughed, mocking her and said, "Love!! Seriously!!! Do you think I will believe in this bullshit of yours? You are nothing but a gold digging bitch. " Avyaan  yelled .

"Enough now…stop humiliating my daughter like this. She told you everything about the matter….even after knowing everything, you did this..why? Then why are you doing this now?" Parthiv said to him sternly. He saw how his daughter was looking devastated right now.

" Yeah yeah….but let me tell you a secret, I knew about her cheating on me before this bitch told me about the pictures and imaginary story behind it." Avyaan said, making  Parthiv, Sadhika and Niyati look at him in shock and disbelief.

"Shocked isn't it?
Yes, I knew about it.

And before this, I got more pictures of her with boys…Wanna see? Have a look." Avyaan said and again the projector showed the pictures of Niyati with three more boys.

Niyati gasped in shock when she realised who they were. One of them was with Karan where she was in Karan's arms and they were coming out of the hotel in Mumbai ,her face from the side was visible and Karan was looking down at her.
What actually happened was that there was an engagement party of one of Niyati's colleagues . They were coming out of the hotel after the celebration when suddenly Niyati lost her balance and Karan, being the closest one ,caught her. Karan is her colleague as well.

Second one was with the stalker Rajeev who was pecking her cheek from behind. Niyati remembered the day clearly. One day she went out jogging to the park near her home, she was sitting on the bench after taking two laps around the park with her eyes closed when Rajeev came out of nowhere from behind and pecked her cheek. She remembered clearly how she slapped Rajeev and kicked his balls for pulling the stunt. Later he was driven out by the apartment.
Rajeev stays in the same apartment as her and is a pervert who flirts with every woman present in the apartment.

And third was with an unknown guy who was holding by her waist and looking at her eyes intently.
Niyati remembered the day as well. It happened recently when she, Sanjay and Meeta went out shopping some months ago. Niyati was coming out after trying on a dress when the guy pulled her in her arms out of nowhere. Later the guy apologised saying that he mistook her as his girlfriend who was also in the trial room.

"Now ,now what are you going to say about it?" Avyaan asked her, gritting his teeth.

"These..these pictures are clearly not what these look like… you are misunderstanding everything…I can explain…"

Interrupting her, Avyaan yelled at her, "Shut up…shut the fuck up. I know your real face..so Don't try to act like an innocent girl."

"How did you get the pictures…in Kolkata and all others?" Kritika asked him in shock.

" At first I got a picture of her with the first guy where she was talking with him in the middle of the night.. his name is Tanay, whom she met in Kolkata…at first I didn't believe it…but the next day again I got a picture of her with the same guy. Then I appointed my private investigator who kept an eye on her.
And here is the result.
She says that he is her friend only but she forgot to add that he was her boyfriend when they were in college. " Avyaan said.

"But it's wrong.. I can prove it…I can prove that the..the pictures are wrong….wait…" Saying this Niyati dialled Tanay’s number but he wasn't picking his call up.

With her shaking hands, she dialed Sheena's number who picked up in the second ring…and Niyati put the call in the speaker.

"Haan bol (Yes say.)" They heard Sheena's voice.

"He..hello, Sheena , I wanted to ask you something,  tell me what happened to me at the party on your birthday?" Niyati asked . She was trying hard to stop her tears as she remembered her last intimate picture with Tanay which happened to be on the same night of Sheena's birthday after the party was over.

"Oh that night.. You don't remember? Dude I was surprised when Tanay came to the party…and also only for you…you guys were inseparable that night.
I didn't know that you guys were still in touch….I mean you are getting married…still so close to your ex,  I mean, is your husband impotent or something?" Sheena's words shocked Niyati and others as well.

"What rubbish are you talking about? " Niyati yelled out.

"What do you mean? I clearly remembered how Tanay took you away before the party ended..you guys were out of control.." Sheena giggled.

Niyai started to breathe heavily as she understood that she was being framed.

"Why are you lying ,Sheena? I..I…" Niyati said while crying .

"What!!! Me and lying !!! Oh please, why would I lie dude? And why are you trying to hide from me ,dude!! I understand you." Sheena said.

Niyati cut the call feeling frustrated.

She again tried to call Tanay but before she could dial his number, someone snatched the phone from her hand and slapped her hard across her cheek.

“Anusree,” Kavita yelled in shock .

Before Niyati fell on the ground, somebody held her to stop her from falling. She looked up to see the person. It was Sathvik.

Saanvika immediately rushed towards her and pulled her in her arms.

"Bua , what are you doing? Who gave you the right to raise your hand on her just like that?" Sathvik said with irritation and in anger.

"Why not? This girl can destroy everything… Why can't I slap her !!! Thank your God that I just slapped her , if it was giving me a chance, I would have kicked her out of the house like trash  she is…" Anusree said.

"What are all these things your daughter is doing, Parthiv? Ruining our prestige by Whoring around like this !!!" Ira hissed in anger.

Sadhika glared at her angrily.

"Mom, please…if you can't say good things about her, Don't say anything bad…I know my daughter..she won't do anything like this." Parthiv said angrily.

"Oh shut up, Mr. Sehgal…your daughter is anything but innocent. She just wanted to use me for my money and fame, nothing else.
She was warming the beds of different guys and not to forget her ex as well and here in front of me she was acting like an oh-so-good girl.
Such a good actress she is!!!
She thought that it was easy to make a fool out of me…but you don't know who Avyaan Malhotra  is.
And a girl like her deserves this kind of humiliation, that's why I exposed her publicly. Nobody tries to mess with me.  If they do, they face these kinds of consequences. " Avyaan said with a smirk.

Niyati was staring at Avyaan in disbelief with tears in her eyes. The person in front of her was like a stranger in her eyes .

"You know, Sometimes, I doubt whether you both were planning all these together…like making her marry me for the money and then leading a luxurious life." It was the limit of Niyati's tolerance. Avyaan crossed all his limits by insulting her father.

Maybe she is heartbroken and not in a position to think straight but that doesn't mean that she will let go of the person who insulted her father just like that.

Niyati rushed towards Avyaan and slapped him hard across his cheek.

"I curse the moment I met you…you just insulted an elderly person who thought you were like his son…
shame on you!! " Niyati hissed at him. Tears didn't stop pouring from her eyes.

Avyaan looked at her with bloodshot red eyes in anger and immediately held her hand in his tight grip.

"How dare you? How dare you slap me ,you bitch!!! " He said tightening his grip and broke the chooda in the process which made her hiss in pain.

"Avyaan," Sathvik rushed towards them and made him leave his hand. Niyati looked at her hand to see blood coming out from the wound.

"I don't want your impure soul in our house…Take your good for nothing family and leave from here. " Avyaan said to her sternly.

" Avyaan,that's enough." Ajay warned him sternly.

"He is right, leave from here…Pata nahi aur kaha Kaha muh kala karke aayi Hai, ye!!!( Don't know from where she has whored around)." Vaidehi said angrily.

"See, how cheap a girl Malhotra was going to have as their daughter in law!!!"

"Thank God, they got to know about her from before!!! At Least they got saved."

"Her family is also greedy like her and also uncultured..didn't you hear how her parents were guarding her whoring ways?"

Niyati was looking down as she heard the words of the guests around her. Her skin burned in humiliation as she felt the judging eyes of them on her.

A thud sound reached her ears which made her look at the source.

"Dad" She yelled out as she saw her father lying down on the floor in an unconscious state.

Here you go.
