"Maa please don't go all hysterics just listen out what she has to say once" Shekhar tries to calm down his panicking and angry mother who shoves him away. With a glare she snaps, "It's enough, don't make me take decisions that I would regret later Shekhar!"

"No! It's enough now, stop it all of you! Just stop!" Riya is trembling with fear the memories and all those yelling start to haunt her past back, "It's my life and my sole decision what I do with it. You all take it clear whether you like it or not I'm gonna marry Lakshya thats it. My Decision is sealed!" 

Parvati turns to her, "Are you sure about your decision?" Riya nods and she walks to her grabbing her hand she drags Riya towards the door pulling her she yells, "Then this is my house and I decide to disown you so get out Now!" Parvati pushes an extremely shocked Riya out of the Mansion. 

Riya ends up falling on someone's chest hard and an arm surrounds her protectively, the same scent. "Are you fine?" his voice is filled with concern as she separates from him their eyes meet. 

Lakshya's POV :

Her eyes are soggy, she's crying and her so called family members are just watching all this happen to her, how can they? My hands clench in a fist as my anger gets over me, "What sort of people are you?" I yell at them, "She's just come back from an major accident and this is what you do to her? Treat her like nothing but Crap?" I growl.

She holds me back as I help her stand properly, she pulls my hand shaking her head in a no, but how can I? I've had enough, all my life I had been treated like nothing but a piece of crap, my so called father bated me in to marry someone against my will for business and when I actually fell in love with someone and everything was fine destiny snatched that love from me forever. Ragini was the girl I was supposed to get married and Bhai and Swara were always having some sort of commitment issues. Swara always hated me since school and the only reason was Ragini. Funny isn't it? 

Flashback :

"Hey looser!" A boy yelled at a small girl walking through the school corridor, "Did you call yourself out so loud Mr. Wanna bee?" she teased him back. The other boys surrounding him started to laugh, "Who the hell are you? Queen bee?"

"It's none of your business you Gorilla!" she snarled making the boy frown and lift his hand to punch her but someone popped in between them. Another girl, she looked just like the first girl but was a little taller and tanned than her, "Lakshya!"

"Ragini, just get off I wont leave this girl who the hell does she think she is?" Lakshya glared behind Ragini at the other girl who threw daggers at him. "You invited it first by calling an unknown girl loser! What the hell do you even know about me to say like that?" the girl hissed.

"Swara Di!" Ragini turned towards the girl and rolled her eyes, "Please stop it!" she said exasperated. Swara crossed her arms and turned her head to left not facing the duo, "Wait, did that Ghost of your sister comeback again?" Lakshya shrugged his shoulders as if he didn't believe his best friend. "Seriously, I thought she went there forever and would never ever comeback!" he complained making Swara push Ragini and jump on him. The duo started fighting, scratching and pulling each others hair as Ragini stared at them terrified.

"STOP IT!" An mid aged man screeched as the crowd got silent and so did the two fighter cocks, who still threw daggers at each other, "In my office, NOW!" He left as the two followed him leaving behind a weeping Ragini. Just then a hand came forward offering her a napkin, "My Snow white doesn't look good when she cries" the boy whispers making her smile. 

He wipes her tears, "Why waste your precious tears on those fools, they fight and then fight again. They are endless baby, so please just stop coming in between their petty issues." Ragini giggles, "Don't use that new born swag of yours with me Sanskar, I'm not a baby keep it for Kavi di only!"

"And how can you forget Kavya?" He shrugs making her chuckle, "She's the Miss. Novista whose soon gonna throw tantrums when she knows Lakshya and Di had a fight as her... " she trails off.

"Reputation Ragini" Sanskar smirks.

"Whatever! I'm in 5th grade so it's okay for me to not know such big words" she blabbers. Sanskar cocks his head to the right, "Are you sure you don't have that word in your syllabus because... "

She cuts in before he could complete his statement, "Okay Mr. Genius of a Goenka, I'm a baby so I can't really learn such big words they are diffi... "

"Difficult Ragini" Sanskar teases pulling her hair and starts running as Ragini chases him, "Mr. Dictionary!"

"Aww Baby!" 

Swara and Lakshya are in principals cabin, their heads down staring at the floor and murmuring something to themselves. "It's just been an hour since your back Swara and already three minor tiffs and a big WWE match has taken place in our school. I know you two just love each other too much but seriously? Can't you wait for a day to pass, for this poor principal of yours to take at least the first day of your arrival with silence and prepare for the future?" he questions them frustrated as Swara giggles. "Sorry" she holds her ears and blinks at him with puppy eyes as Lakshya goes and holds his legs, "We'll never do this again."

The princial just stares at him blankly, as Swara comes and hits his head, "He meant we'll try not to do this again" Swara covers up.

As Lakshya and Swara plead the principal sighs falling back on his seat, "God forbid if ever in future you two become binded to each other forever, the world will be in  a turmoil" 

Swara and Lakshya stare at each other confused as the principal continues, "100 times of writing in your OWN handwriting, That we won't ever repeat this ever again!" The two jump up excited and turn to leave, "Once again I repeat, in your OWN handwriting. And trust me when I say that because I'll have a handwriting check on your punishment because I solely don't trust you two at all!" The duo nod and run out of the cabin as the principal sighs, "Oh God, another terrible year with them begins... "

The two walk towards their siblings proudly as if they've done something really good, "How many times is it this time?" Ragini asks worried as Sanskar has a smirk on his face, "Hundred!" Lakshya replies handing her the papers so does Swara but pulls away the papers Lakshya had given her. 

"My sister will do My work only!" she commands annoying Lakshya, "Oh, is there any rule like that? I never knew about it!"

"Get lost you douche bag! she's my gini and you can't take her away from me like that?" she screams at him and he retorts, "Have you lost your screws before coming back because you don't seem normal not that you seemed anything close to normal even before."

Swara's eyes become moist as she sees Ragini holding back Lakshya, "Choose!" she orders her little sister, "It's either him or me" she says pointing her finger at herself. Ragini walks to her di extremely worried, "Di, why are you saying like that? How can I choose between you and him?"

"No you have to!" Swara sulks. "But Di, he's my best friend and your my Di! There's no need to choose you both have a special and different place in my heart" Ragini pouts at her innocently as Sanskar whispers, "She'll never know big words but emotional liners are her birth right it seems, filmy Baby."

Ragini frowns at him but is pulled by Swara, "No no no, A girl and a boy can never be best friends!" To this Sanskar bursts out into laughter, "Movie or book?" he questions to which she frowns replying, "The F- word!" and pouts.

Lakshya bursts out into laughter this time along with his brother as they give hi five to each other making even Swara chuckle but poor Ragini being the youngest doesn't even understand why they are laughing. Lakshya comes forward and keeps his hand on her shoulder pulling her into a hug, "Aww mera innocent Bacha (Aww my innocent Baby)" he exclaims as Sanskar continues, "She's so small to even understand more about friendship and you fighting like she'll run away with my baby brother any moment!" he shakes his head in disregard.

"Why would I run away with Lakshya? Did he do something to you Di? I'll hit him if he did promise, please tell me what happened?" Swara smiles like a maniac, "No Baby, he did nothing." She hugs Ragini who just doesn't know what is happening, "What can I do to this Bhootni (Female Ghost)" he sticks out his tongue at her and she makes a face.

Sanskar signs Ragini to smile and she complies...

Flashback ends.

"I'm taking her with me" Lakshya says holding Riya's hand tightly and dragging her towards his car, "Lakshya... " she trails off as he pulls open the car door and signs her to sit in. She can't help it and obliges looking one last time at the Asthana's, Sharmishtha smiled through tears and nodded at her.

The car door slams shut behind her as Lakshya grabs her hand again but this time she shoves him off, "What is the matter Lakshya?" 

Lakshya brushes his hair as his face softens, "Ruhaan's custody, they said they'll send him off to foster home if we did not get married within 24 hours" he replies.

Riya's mouth forms an 'O', "No problem we could call dad and he would handle this very easily" as soon as those words slipped out of her mouth she bites her tongue, "I meant, Mr. Malhotra the one who saved me and took care of me after the accident."

Lakshya nods understandingly, "I understand your really fond of him now, how can't you be? He's far better than Shekhar Papa!" he spat.

For some strange reason Riya's nerves got boiled as she glared at Laksh for saying that to him, her papa. "He's not bad Lakshya, it's just that... "

"Dadi!" he completes her and she nods. She opens her mouth to speak but Lakshya cuts her in again, "But she isn't bad either? Just too strict right, I know!" he nods his head. "I just thought so wrong that day about you not being Ragini, when you are so just her always defending your family members and see now your back with calling me Lakshya again."

Riya couldn't help but smirk at his reply thinking to herself, "Finally, this nut has been cracked, big sister! see I told ya that it's not that hard to handle your husband!" she mentally pats herself. But then another thought strucks her and she worries this time, "Where are you Di?" Lakshya hears her murmur Di and gets emotional, pulling her into a hug. "Missing her is not that bad maybe you were right she stays in our heart."

"You won't trust me if I say this but she's watching us right now" Riya smiles watching an extremely elated Swara standing at a distance from them and beaming at her.

"You look" Aman trails of as Ayaan completes him, "Beautifull!!!" Ragini holds their ears and exclaims, "What seeing your choti chachi for the first time are you?" They shake their head in a no and she leaves their ears, "Are you seriously Ragini Chachi? You seem somewhat" they rub their ear, "Different."

Riya flushes, "What have you two gotten your Chachu's disease? Not recognizing your best friend and chachi ever!"

"Bloating aren't we?" they tease in unison and run into their room, "Devrani ji!" Pari comes there just then, "Your room's ready!"

"Thank you Bhabhi!" Riya chirps but her face falls, "No dresses to wear?" she nods. "Lakshya didn't let me get any of my belongings actually can't blame him for that really you see the situation was not that good, that I could pack."

"Siding up with our beloved soon to be husband are we? I did expect it from you but not so soon though Ragu!" she complains making Riya blush again. "Anyway's I'll get something for you from Swara's closet get changed and be down till 8, we'll have dinner together!" Riya nods with a smile as Pari leaves for upstairs.

"The papers are here little sister, just be careful not to sign in front of Lakshya he recognizes Gini's signatures" Swara remarks from behind Riya as she stares at the Lawyer entering the mansion and smirks, "Guess, your evil brain has got an idea!" Swara grins.

Lakshya comes downstairs and the Lawyer hands over the papers to him, "Ragini, here sign the papers" he hands over the pen to Riya who stares at it. 

"You sign it first!" she retorts making Lakshya frown but he complies, taking the pen he signs on the papers and sighs. "Here now sign it fast" he orders handing her the pen but she doesn't move, "Now what?"

"My pen" she remarks staring at his pen, "I want my favorite brand pen you know I don't even read something without it let alone be signing some important papers. Not any important papers Lakshya, our wedding papers!" she crosses her arms.

Lakshya stares at her in disbelief, "Are you serious Ragini? Where will I find you favorite brand pen now? Please don't be demanding like your elder sister and sign asap!" Swara frowns at his words and flicks. 

Lakshya's eyes bore into Riya's and she feels compelled taking the pen from his hand she sighs fear creeping up her face as she bends to sign on the papers, it doesn't work. The bloody pen doesn't work she jumps up, "See! Destiny itself wants me to sign the papers with my favorite pen!" she chirps like a kid. 

Lakshya sighs and tries writing on other paper and it genuinely doesn't seem to work, "Where will i find your favorite pen now?"

"Sanskar's room, you idiot! he always has that brand" she states as if obvious. He rushes upstairs and Riya immediately removes a pen from the Lawyers jacket and signs on the papers. She hands him the papers as he wails, "Ma'am sir will kill me if he knows I let you sign the papers with out... "

"I'll kill you if you don't leave and file those papers before your Lakshya sir comes down." She threatens him, "Do as I say and I promise your Lakshya sir won't dare to touch you ever!"

The Lawyer gulps in and runs from there, Swara starts laughing, "Bold little sister!" she remarks. Riya winks at her and replies, "Genius big sister!" 

"How did you do that?" Riya asks berserked signing towards the pen and Swara smirks, "Some talents only the dead have!"

"See I told you!" an extremely terrified Aman replies, "She's talking to herself!" Ayaan stares at Riya wide eyed who flinches in return. But the twins get petrified as they stare behind her at a smirking Swara and whisper scream, "CHOTI CHACHI!"
