     -------------"""""---------------

After all rituals of marriage finally manik and nandni were announced as husband wife. Nandni and manik both were sitting together when people were coming to give them blessings of happy life ahead.
Manik was trying to response all greetings with smiling face but nandni can feel that smile wasn't reaching his eyes.

She never thought that most important day of their life will come like this. She was continiously looking at him, cursing herself for being the reason of his sadness.

Manik was fully aware of her gaze but he didn't spare a single glance towards her. He knew it her innocent eyes are his weakness and he couldn't control his cold heart from melting.

After giving all blessings and good wishes all guests became busy talking and taking their dinner. Now this awkward silence was making them more uneasy.

"I'm feeling hungry..!" Nandni whispered enough loud to gather manik's attention. She always felt a fatigue to eat but today she was asking herself for food means she wanted someone's attention.

Manik nodded and stood up from couch to go for dinner. Nandni felt difficult to handle her heavy lehnga while coming down from the stage. Manik unknowingly extended his hand but after looking at her surprised expressions he pulled his hand back and left the stage silently leaving nandni behind. Nandni felt so much heavy and hurt seeing his ignorance but she joined him composing herself. Both took one table and seeing newly married couple abhi mukti and cabir also joined them at table. Now mukti served food for both of them.

All were talking with each other sharing their all experiences of village and marriage while manik and nandni both silently trying to digest the tight air around them.

Manik also participated in response of their talks but nandni remained totally silent all the time.
"Nandni you didn't even touch your food, your plate is still full" mukti asked nandni taking her in side hug. Now all converted their attention towards nandni. Manik placed his spoon also back in plate seeing her lowered eyes continiously staring at her plate aimlessly.  He was totally aware his ignorance effecting her badly but this time he was determined to make her realise her mistake.

      -----------------

After dinner manik abhi and cabir went towards men's portion where other villagers were waiting for manik to congratulate him. As manik entered in hall all stood up to give him blessings and good wishes.
"So finally you are a married man now. I'm so happy for you my son" raj stood up happily and stretched his arms out to take manik in hug.

"Meri beti ka khayal rakhna, wo Karan ki amaanat he tery pas. I hope you will never disappoint your baba" raj whispered still patting his back with proud and happiness.

"Yes dad I will try. I'm missing baba so much. I wish k wo bhi aaj yahan hoty to give his blessings. His daughter needed his blessings" manik said breaking the hug with a sad smile at his lips.

"I'm  proud of you my son and I know you will fulfil your Responsibilities. Stay happy and together forever" raj said leaving him to meet with other men.

      -----------------

"Mukti take nandni in her room. She is looking so tired sitting with heavy dress since long time" ishani called mukti who was busy with her friends.

Mukti took nandni at third floor in manik's personal room. Today room was looking little different. It was giving little bright and girlish look also, otherwise it was purely boy's room. May be because now it's gonna be nandni's also.

"Kessa laga your new room...? We changed it little bit but it's still according to manik's taste. We can't take risk to face his anger, he is really possessive about his room" mukti said while making her sit at bed.

"Its looking nice. Mukti di thank you for being with me at every step. You were there for me that's why I didn't miss my mom so much" Nandni said with moist eyes holding mukti's hand.

" Im here whenever you need me. If you allow me once, let me talk to manik. I'm seeing he is still in silent mode. I don't know what happened between both of you but you both need each other" mukti asked taking her one cheek in her palm.

"No mukti di, I messed up every thing and this time I will make it right. Don't worry" Nandni replied with fake smile. Mukti took a deep sigh and nodded helplessly.

       ----------------

"Bacho it's very late now. You all should go now in your rooms. And manik bety you also go in your room, go and take rest" raj said to all other guests also to take rest in their respective rooms. Raj after greeting good night to everyone went towards his room.

Manik was climbing stairs but he was feeling every step heavy towards his room. For the day he waited so desperately now was feeling like a nightmare. His all planning for their special day have been messed up.
Thinking about all this he reached his room. He never thought before that facing his girl, who was now his wife officially, will be this much difficult.

He opened the door silently and entered inside. There she was sitting at edge of bed hanging her both legs down. She was looking down at photo frame of her parents.

Manik came slowly towards her and sat beside her at bed. He looked towards her but she didn't raise her eyes up from the frame.

"Larkiyon ki biddaie hoti hey, their parents send them with their blessings. How unlucky I'm, I have no one with me" as she spoke with shaky voice her tears fell at frame.

First time manik felt so much helpless when his girl was crying at front of him and he can't hold her, he can't console her. He wanted to be with her in her all happiness and sorrows but today he was so near but still was so far from her.

"Wherever they are, they are seeing you, their blessings are with you" manik said politely taking frame from her hands. He caressed his fingers to wipe off her tears at glass of frame.

Both were silent but their presence beside each other was so soothing for their pains. He kept looking at photo and she was looking down at floor and her tears wetting her cheeks without break.

After few mints manik got up from bed and left the room keeping photo frame back at side table.
As he closed the door behind him he listened her sobs inside the room. Listening her cries and feeling her pain manik was feeling suffocate. He was feeling helpless when he can't do anything to lessen her pain.

He sat at couch kept at terrace outside his room. He left her alone to let her cry. She needed it, she will feel light.
After half hr he called mukti to come upstairs.

"Mukti go and help her to change her clothes. Already her rashes didn't cured properly and uppar sy usko itna heavy dress and jewellery pehnaaie hey" manik said with irritated face to mukti when she came upstairs.

"Arrey yar she is bridle, without dress and jewellery she will look so simple na" mukti said walking towards room.

"Nandni let me help you to remove your jewellery and this heavy dress" mukti said sitting beside nandni at bed. Mukti took her at front of dressing table and started to remove her jewellery and all other accessories. She removed all pins of her heavy dupatta and opened her bun leaving her hairs open.

After making her free from all accessories Mukti asked her to go and take shower.
"Mukti di give me anything soft and comfortable except those night gowns. I don't want to wear, please" Nandni said turning back towards mukti who went towards wardrobe to pick anything to make her wear. Mukti nodded and understanding her emotionally and physically condition she chose simple shirt Pajama for her.

After taking shower she came out and mukti was no where. She have been left after arranging her all jewellery and dupatta. Nandni folded her dress and after hanging in wardrobe she slipped into her duvet. After laying back she felt how much her tired muscles needed rest.

She was seeing at ceiling grabbing duvet at her chest when door opened and there was her husband still in his wedding dress.

As he entered in room, manik saw nandni was looking at him with most innocent silent eyes. Her tears have been dry but the pain was still there in her eyes reflecting her inner condition.

She kept looking at him but he moved his gaze away from her. He locked the door and went directly towards washroom to change.
After few mints she listened shower turned off and she knew it he will be outside any mint. She turned at her side pulling duvet till her shoulders.

As door opened and scent of his body wash touched his senses, she closed her eyes tightly grabbing duvet more tightly. She was feeling so messed up at the moment the way her heart was thumping in her ears.
She was herself confused that it's coz of his anger or his proximity .

Manik came out wearing simple trouser and tee shirt. After seeing she was ready to sleep turning back towards him he felt angry. He was expecting her to clear the mess between them. He turned off the lights and laid back at bed. He pulled duvet up and the harshness in his pull was showing his anger.

Nandni who was already scared of his outburst at her two days back, now became more scared. She was even afraid to take breath loudly around him.

She wanted to talk with him, she wanted to share with him, she wanted to cry her heart out, she wanted at her first night of marriage atleast she can sleep in his arms. He can comfort her in most weak and sad time when there was no one except him. But she wanted him to give her little easy way to express herself. So that without scare of his anger she can defend herself.

Both were laying turning backs towards each other.  Both were awake but still trying to show we are sleeping peacefully. Both slipped into slumber while fighting with heart and mind.

     -----------------

Next morning almost all guests have gone and now just family members were present in havelli.
At table breakfast was arranged and now just manik and nandni were needed there.
No one disturbed them bcz after their tiring function they needed rest.

Sun was throwing rays of lights from curtains inside the room when manik woke up. After opening eyes he realised he was in his personal room after his marriage. He was waking up alone in his bed when he was supposed to be awake up with his newly married wife in his arms. This thought was enough to make his mood off again.

Nandni was thinking she will talk to him that she didn't mean to hurt him. It was just her anger and she chose wrong words to describe a relation without trust. She came out drying her hairs with towel. She was looking really an angel at earth in golden frok with red and copper embroidery.

She came in room manik was sitting at bed resting his back at bed. As their eyes met Nandni felt a twinkling shine in his eyes but it vanished even before she could feel warmth of that gaze.

Manik looked away and frowns at his forehead was showing his extreme anger. He threw duvet away and passed by her without saying any thing. He took his clothes and entered wash room closing door with loud thud behind him. 

"Manik don't want to talk to me. Mujhy dekhty hi unko gussa aa jata hey. May be he didn't want to see me around him. I never thought my presence will disturb him this much. I should go otherwise he will be more angry seeing me in his room" thinking about him tears fell from her eyes. The courage she was gathering to talk to him all vanished in seconds.

"She was looking so beautiful so irresistible. I wanted to see her as much as I want but then again I felt what if my eyes roaming at her figure will show my lust to her. How I felt helpless when she was at front of me and I wasn't allow to look at her. What did I wrong to deserve this punishment. You made me so helpless nandni and this situation making me more angry in which we both are at the moment. Just once come to me and say that you lied, you didn't mean those words, you don't feel my love as lust, I promise I will never hurt you again, but please come to me once" manik was thinking standing under shower. He looked up to feel water falling at his face, soothing his burning eyes.

After wiping her tears nandni arranged their bed properly and left the room. She didn't want to make him more angry after showing herself.

Manik came out and seeing room empty he took a deep sigh placing both hands at his waist. He was expecting that atleast she will be waiting for him to go downstairs together.

Mukti saw nandni coming down and that too alone she left the work she was doing. She can feel nandni's disturbed face and she took no time to understand they didn't patch up yet.
She went forward towards nandni and took her both hands in hers. 

"Are you ok...?" mukti asked feeling her red eyes and nandni nodded her head with forced smile.  Mukti knew it she cried but she didn't ask further and brought her towards table.

"Loh manik bhi aa gaya, now start break fast nhi tou thanda ho jaiy ga" ishani asked to all to join the dining table. Listening his name nandni felt her palms getting sweaty and cold. She felt better to keep her eyes down instead of seeing towards him and making him more angry.

He came and sat beside Nandni bcs just seat beside her was empty. All started their breakfast after greeting each other. Her presence and her heady scent was reminding manik once again her presence. He was trying to concentrate at breakfast but he wasn't able to.

"After lunch we will leave back for Mumbai so bacho app log apni packing kr lena time pey. Manik and nandni ki reception ceremony will be exactly after one week I mean next Sunday. So we all will be together once again with blessings of God" raj said finishing his breakfast.

All were sad listening that their village tour was going to end but at the same time they were happy bcs they were gonna meet each other soon.

All were busy talking except the newly married couple who was lost in their own world. After sitting silently  manik got up and left dining room after giving excuse of a fon call.

He came out in huge lawn of havelli to breath freely in open air but he wasn't aware that suffocation was in his mind and heart not in air.

    ----------------

"Nandni how are your rashes now..?" mukti asked while helping nandni to pack her bags.
"Its totally fine now. It's still little bit red but now it's not paining" Nandni replied bringing her stuff out from wardrobe.

"Cabir bety call to manik here. Tell him that few respectable old men of village came to meet him" raj asked and went towards hall which was reserved for men meetings and gossips. Cabir went to call manik and abhi joined raj in hall.

"I need to talk with manik. I can't bear it more. I don't care if he shouts at me. I deserve this. I myself called this situation I need to clear this mess as soon as possible" Nandni was thinking when she saw from window manik sitting alone in lawn totally lost.

After listening mukti's talk when she turned around manik was no where. He have gone with cabir and nandni missed it.

"Mukti di I will be back then I will start packing of manik's bags" Nandni said while rushing out from the room. Mukti nodded and became busy doing packing. 
Nandni went downstairs and started looking for manik. She unknowingly reached towards men's hall without any knowledge that it's reserved only for men.

She reached at main door and listened cabir's voice she was sure manik also will be there. She without thinking entered inside. Suddenly in hall all men became silent looking towards main door.

Manik realising something wrong looked behind him and became shocked seeing nandni at door. Raj signalled manik to go and take nandni outside from hall.
Manik's jaw tightened when he saw few lust full eyes at his girl. He wanted to beat them badly for throwing their hungry eyes at his wife.

At other hand nandni wasn't expecting that this hall might be full of so many strangers. They all were looking at her as she belongs to another planet. She was frozen at her place seeing manik coming towards her angrily and now she realised what blunder she have done.

Manik grabbed her arm to take her out when he stopped at his place.
"Bass aik din shadi ko aur bhabhi g itna udaas ho gae k apny ghr waly ko milny yahan tak aa gae" a boy threw taunt making fun and his friend joined him laughing at his compliment.

Manik turned around leaving nandni's arm and just in two seconds that boy was at floor with bleeding nose. His punch was enough to shut their mouths and to make their lustful eyes lower.

"Bivi hey meri. Kaheen bhi aa sakti hey mujhy milny. Dubara bakwaas ki tou zubaan nikal k hath pey rakh dun ga" manik said in tune which was enough to make that boy realise his mistake.

Cabir and abhi came running to handle mess.
"Manik leave him I will handle them you go and take nandni out. It's not time to waste here go" abhi pushed manik back towards nandni. Listening nandni's name manik came back in senses and he turned towards her.
Abhi grabbed that boy from collar and made him stand up. Abhi threw that boy at feet of old men of village.

"Chaudhary sahib I respect of your presence here. So I'm leaving this matter at you" abhi asked with angry face.
"Raj aur uski family mehmaan hey hammary village main. Uski bahoo beti k sath essa salook bilkul bardaasht ni kiya jaiy ga. Maafi mango raj say and dubaara havelli k nazdeek nazar na ana" an old man ordered that boy. That boy apologised raj and abhi asked his guards to throw him out from the havelli.

"Chaudhary sahib meri bahoo pehli baar village aie hey aur ussy yahan k tor treeky pata ni hen. Agar aap logo ko bura laga ho tou main uski taraf sy maafi chahta hun" raj apologised to old men.

"Raj maafi maang k hammy sharminda mat kro. Mana k admiyon k beech aurat ka ana Acha ni samajhty hamm log but yeh koe gunah bhi ni" one old man replied with all respect.

    -------------------

"Mukti...!!! mukti....!" manik was shouting in living area of havelli still holding nandni's arm tightly.
"Manik I'm sorry. I didn't know that there I wasn't allowed to go" Nandni was crying non stop.
Listening his shouts Aleeza came running towards them.

"Sir mukti madam is in your room" Aleeza replied and she didn't try to come close to nandni bcs she was aware something really serious happened.

Manik opened the door with full thud and pushed nandni towards mukti.
"Manik what is this. Nandni why are you crying" mukti asked nandni taking her shivering frame in her arms.
"Mukti what was she doing in men's portion. Why she came there. She didn't know about all these things atleast you should be careful" now manik was screaming at mukti. Mukti became shocked knowing the reason of his anger. She know her family isn't conservative but they can't stop few men who are not good to present your ladies at front of their hungry eyes.

"Manik why are you behaving like this. She didn't know, what's her mistake" this time mukti roared back with equal anger.

"Yeah you are right. She doesn't think either before speaking or before doing. She don't care that her words and actions can hurt someone beyond limits. Manik said looking straight in nandni's tearful eyes. Nandni can see clearly his hurt and frustration behind his anger. Saying this manik left the room leaving nandni crying in mukti's arms.

     -------------------

Mukti made her sit at bed and went to bring glass of water for her. After asking whole incident she understood reason of his anger. 

"Dont cry it's not your fault. It's fault of our society where few people think that to safe their ladies from bad eyes is to keep them away from men. Nandni bad people are everywhere but in villages are more may be coz of lack of education and knowledge. That's why after completing my education I didn't try to join family businesses. I'm running a school. Bcs I feel education can change thinking of our society. But you know na manik and mamoo Jan are not like this. Manik is just angry bcz few disgusting boys made your fun. He couldn't bear this so that's why he was so angry" mukti was making nandni calm who was continiously crying.

"Meny sari packing complete kr di hey. Ok you just take rest. I'm feeling your skin is warm little bit. I think you are tired so much" mukti asked her to take rest and nandni laid back like lifeless soul. Mukti left the room after closing all curtains and door so that nandni can take rest. 

      -----------------

"Manik you shouldn't behave like this. It was so rude. How much she was scared. Usko ni pata tha bcs kisi ny usko bataya bhi ni tha" mukti said joining manik in living room. At the same time raj entered in living room.
"What happened and Where is Nandni. How's she" raj asked and mukti looked back towards manik who lowered his gaze avoiding all of them.

"Mamoo Jan she is in her room" mukti replied to raj. Raj still was looking at both brother sister to clear the whole matter they were discussing.

"Manik scolded her and she was crying" mukti explained when she felt now there is no other way to escape.
"Manik yeh main kya sunn raha hun, why you scolded her. If she came there by mistake then what happened. Rahi unn boys ki baat coz of them you can't be rude with nandni" raj was talking to manik his tune was showing his anger.

"Sorry dad..!" manik said lowering his head. Raj left from there without replying him.

        ------------------

After lunch every one was being ready to leave and nandni was sitting at couch looking down.
"What's up beautiful and how are you feeling now...?" mukti asked sitting beside nandni. 
"Im fine. I will miss you mukti di...!" Nandni said smiling with moist eyes.

"Awwww I will miss you too. But I'm coming at your reception then I will meet you there again. Nandni your skin is still warm. It's like you are having fever" mukti noticed her skin burning when she took nandni in side hug.

"No di I'm fine. It's just tiredness may be. I will take rest after reaching home and then I will be fine definitely" Nandni ignored mukti's doubt. But still mukti brought tablets to give nandni with cup of tea. She needed it bcs journey back to Mumbai was going to make her more tired.

"Bags are already in cars so we should leave now" raj asked coming downstairs closing his cuff buttons.
All were present in lawn around cars and were ready to leave.

"This time don't create distances between cars. All should be around each other. I don't want any one to be stuck in any trouble this time" raj asked all drivers. 

After meeting all and saying good bye all settled in cars. Again all sat in same sequence the way they came.
Raj cabir and Aleeza were in one car and manik nandni in other car. Two cars of guards were gonna join them at way.

Nandni sat in car and her red burning face, ice cold hands and feet were making her feel that she gonna suffer from high fever surely.
