One Month Later...

Shehnaaz was sitting in her room wearing her bridal attire looking like the most beautiful bride one had ever seen.

But there was one thing that was missing from her face. It was her smile. Today she was going to marry that man with whom she had always built her future. For any girl it would be the happiest moment. But for Shehnaaz it was totally opposite. She was going to marry her love. But she was sad. She was missing her sister.

Shehnaaz took the photo frame of her and Sana and caressed it. Few teardrops fell on the photo frame.

"Mujhe maaf kar dena Sana. Main yeh shaadi sirf aur sirf majboori mein kar rahi hoon. Tujhse tera haq chhin ne ke liye nahi. Shaadi tay hone ke baad se meri Sidharth se baat tak nahi hui. Paata nahi woh kya soch rahe honge mere baare mein. Par koi aur samjhe yaa na samjhe, tu toh mujhe samajh rahi hai na Sana?"

Saying that, Shehnaaz kissed the photo frame and kept it at its place.

After that some girls came and took her to the Mandap.

Here, Sidharth was sitting on the Mandap when Shehnaaz started coming there. He looked at her and a beautiful smile formed on his face. For a moment he felt that his Sana had returned to him. He remembered their wedding day when she was looking exactly this much beautiful. But soon his smile faded away realising that it was Shehnaaz, not his Sana.

Shehnaaz came and sat beside Sidharth. Their wedding rituals started. Sidharth looked at Shehnaaz whose eyes were fixed at the holy fire. He was somewhere angry on her as she agreed to marry him. But then he thought that maybe she was also forced by her family.

One by one they completed all the rituals. At last putting stone on his heart, Sidharth tied the mangalsutra around Shehnaaz's neck and filled the part of her hair with vermillion.

"Aaj se aap dono Pati Patni hue."

As soon as the Pandit Ji said this, Shehnaaz closed her eyes and tears rolled down her cheeks while Sidharth clenched his jaw.

"Shaadi toh ho gayi. Par mere dil mein Sana ki jagah Shehnaaz kabhi nahi le paayegi. Main marte dam tak sirf Sana se pyaar karunga." He said in his mind.

"Yeh rishta bhale hi majboori mein joda gaya ho, main iss rishte ko pure shiddat se nibhaungi. Patni hone ka har dharm pura karungi aur Sidharth ke sukh dukh mein uski saathi ban kar rahungi." She said in her mind.

After that, Shehnaaz and Sidharth took blessings from the elders and then vidai ceremony held. Shehnaaz's parents bid her goodbye and then she left her house with Sidharth.

At Sidharth's place, Rita Ji did her grihaprabesh.

"Mere ghar mein ek baar phir se Laxmi aayi hai. Mera dil keh raha hai, ab sab kuch sahi hoga." Said Rita Ji and kissed Shehnaaz's forehead.

At Night...

Sidharth was going towards his room but suddenly stopped near his parent's room hearing something.

"Chalo iss shaadi se meri chinta toh dur hui. Ab Sidharth Mumbai jaa ke akela nahi padh jayega. Shehnaaz hogi uske saath usse sambhal ne ke liye." Said Rita Ji.

"Woh sab toh thik hai. Par kya humne apne bacchon ke saath sahi kiya zabardasti unki shaadi kara ke? Jab ki woh dono ek dusre se pyaar hi karte." Said Ashok Ji with little guilt.

"Sidharth ko Sana ko bhul ke Shehnaaz ko apna ne mein waqt lagega. Hum yeh expect nahi kar sakte ki woh taurant Shehnaaz se pyaar karne lage. Aur rahi baat uss bacchi ki toh, woh bohut pehle se Sidharth se pyaar karti hai."

Sidharth became shocked hearing his mother's statement.

"Pehle se matlab?" Asked Ashok Ji.

"Sidharth aur Sana ki shaadi ke bhi pehle se. Bas kabhi kisi se apne dil ki baat keh nahi paayi bechari. Parminder Behen Ji ne mujhe sab kuch baataya. Aur mujhe yakeen hai ki ek din Shehnaaz apne pyaar se Sidharth ke zakhmon ko bhar degi aur uske dil mein bhi apne liye pyaar jagane mein kamiyab hogi." Said Rita Ji smiling.

Sidharth didn't stay there anymore and went towards his room angrily. He never imagined that Shehnaaz could do something like this. She could betray her own sister. It was now clear to him why Shehnaaz agreed to marry him without even thinking twice. It was exactly what she wanted.

Sidharth entered his room and saw Shehnaaz sitting on the bed. She looked at him for once and then took off her eyes.

His anger increased seeing her. He fisted his palm and then went towards her.

He grabbed her arm harshly and she looked at him being confused. Before she could react, he pulled her up and pinned her to the wall. She gasped at his sudden movement. His eyes had turned red and it was showing fire.

"Sidharth aap..... Aap yeh kya kar rahe hai?" She asked trying to push him.

"Kyu? Wedding night hai humari. Aur yeh hi toh chahti thi tum. Iss hi liye toh shaadi kiyi hai mujhse." He said sarcastically.

"Kya?" Asked Shehnaaz with disbelief.

"Pyaar karti thi na humesha se mujhse? Chahti thi mujhe? Humesha apni behen ki jagah khud ko imagine karti thi. Uski jagah lena chahti thi. Now you are successful. Chali gayi woh hum dono ke beech se. Ab hum dono ek ho jaate hai. Kyu?"

Saying that he moved closer to her face while looking at her dangerously. His eyes were showing immense hatred for her.

"Sidharth please... Dur hatiye." Pleaded Shehnaaz with teary eyes.

Sidharth punched hardly on the nearby wall making her scared and then moved away.

"Sharam aani chahiye tumhe Shehnaaz. Tumne apni uss behen ko dhokha diya jo tumse itna pyaar karti thi. Uska bura chaha, usko..... Usko maar daala. Aur phir uss hi ke Pati se shaadi kar liyi. Wow! What a plan!"

Saying that he clapped.

"Plan?" Asked Shehnaaz being shocked. She didn't understand how he could say this.

"Aur nahi toh kya? Sana toh aana bhi nahi chahti thi Amravati. Tum hi ne usse bulaya tha. Tumhe paata tha uske saath kuch bura hoga. You wanted her out of my life. Iss hi wajah se meri Sana aaj mere saath nahi hai. You are responsible for her death." Said Sidharth pointing his index finger towards Shehnaaz.

"BOHUT HO GAYA SIDHARTH!" Screamed Shehnaaz and wiped off her tears harshly.

"Aap sayad bhul rahe hai ki Sana meri Behen thi. Kab se jaante hai aap usse? Shaadi ko hue ek saal aur uss se pehle 3 saal tak dating.... Mila ke hue 4 saal. Main Sana ko 23 saal se jaanti hoon. Hum dono saath mein badhe hue hai. Ek plate se khana khaya hai, ek saath bed share kiya hai yaaha tak ki bukhar bhi hota tha toh hum dono ko eksaath hota tha. Woh sirf meri behen hi nahi, meri best friend thi. Aur main uska bura chahungi? Woh bhi aap ki wajah se?"

Sidharth had no reply.

"Sorry Mr. Sidharth Shukla par aap itne important nahi ho. Haan main aap se pyaar zaroor karti thi... Sayad karti hoon. Par uss se kayi zyada pyaar main apni behen se karti hoon. Jitna dukh aap ko apni Patni ko kho ke hua hai, uss se kayi zyada dukh mujhe hua hai apni sagi behen ko kho ke. Aur rahi baat iss shaadi ki toh.... Aap isse nahi nibhana chahte toh mat nibhaiye. Mujhse jitna ho sakega main nibhaungi." She said further.

Sidharth sighed and said, "Bas mujhse koi umeed mat rakhna."

Saying that he left from the room.

Shehnaaz sat on the bed and started crying silently.

After somedays...

Sidharth and Shehnaaz came to the Mumbai's house. From now they would live there. Earlier she came to this house as his sister-in-law. But today she felt something different as she was going to enter the house as his wife.

As soon as Shehnaaz stepped at the house, she felt that a cold wind blew making her shiver. She tried to move ahead but couldn't feeling some unknown force which was not letting her enter. Her whole body became paralysed all of a sudden.

Sidharth was going towards his room but suddenly stopped and turned behind.

"Kya hua Shehnaaz? Andar aao." He said to her.

Shehnaaz applied some force and entered the house. Her body became normal again. But she couldn't understand what happened to her a moment ago.

She went to Sidharth and Sana's room and was about to enter with her luggage when Sidharth stopped her and said, "Ruko."

Shehnaaz stopped and looked at him.

"Iss room mein main aur Sana rehte the. This belongs to us only. Tum dusre room mein shift ho sakti ho. Amravati mein humare paas option nahi tha lekin yaaha hum separate rooms mein reh sakte hai. Aur jitna ho sake mujhse dur hi rehna. I can't stand you near me even for a moment." He said coldly.

Shehnaaz bit her own lips to control her emotions. She looked at the room which was filled with Sidharth and Sana's photos. She understood that there was no place for her. So she went to another room.

Sidharth entered his room and looked at Sana's photo.

"Kaha chali gayi tum Sana? I miss you!" He uttered and a lone tear escaped his eyes.

At Midnight....

Sidharth was sitting on a rock and Sana was sitting just beside him wearing a white kurti with white dupatta. Sidharth was continuously staring at her.

"Maine tumhe miss kiya bohut." He said after sometime.

"Jhut mat bolo. Tum mujhe bhul chuke ho. Tumhari zindagi mein ab koi aur aa chuki hai." Said Sana being hurt.

Sidharth looked down feeling guilty.

"Kyu kiya aisa Sidharth? Tumne toh kaha tha tum humesha mere rahoge? Toh phir itni asani se kisi aur ko meri jagah de diyi? Mere baare mein ek baar bhi nahi socha?" She asked demanding answers.

"Aisa nahi hai Sana." Replied Sidharth. "Main tumhara hi hoon. Yeh sab kuch meri marzi ke khilaf hua hai. Mera bas chale toh abhi sab kuch chhor ke tumhare paas aa jaau."

Sana stood up and said looking at him with a smile, "Toh phir aa jaao."

She started moving backward forwarding her both hands.

"Sana..." Uttered Sidharth and stood up.

"Aao Sidharth." She said while going away from him.

"Main aa raha hoon." He replied going after her. She was like a magnet which was attracting him towards herself. He himself didn't know where he was going. He was following her blindly.

Shehnaaz's sleep broke suddenly and she felt thirsty. She went to the kitchen to bring water. Suddenly she heard some footsteps.

"Kaun hai?" She asked looking here and there. Soon she noticed Sidharth who opened the door and went outside.

"Sidharth!" She uttered and went after him.

She came to the garden and saw Sidharth walking aimlessly while murmuring, "Main aa raha hoon Sana. Tumhare paas."

Shehnaaz ran towards him and hold his hand.

"Sidharth rukiye. Kya hogaya aap ko? Kaha jaa rahe hai?" She asked loudly.

"Sana...." Sidharth suddenly stopped realising that there was no one in front of him. He realised that it was again his dream.

Suddenly he felt Shehnaaz's hands on his hand and jerked her away.

"How dare you touch me!" He roared.

"Sidharth woh aap kahi jaa rahe the...."

Before she could complete, he yelled, "Toh? Iss se tumhe kya? Shehnaaz main phir se bol raha hoon, stay away from me. Mujhe tumhari shakal se bhi ghin aati hai. I hate you Shehnaaz! I hate you to the core. I just f*cking hate you!"

Saying that he went from there again leaving Shehnaaz in tears.

Meanwhile a shadow passed by her.
