Bela and Mahir were now hitched in a hush-hush ceremony. Sumitra and Kuhu brought Bela to Mahir's bedroom which was now decorated with fresh flowers.

"Beta...I know what you have lost, you have lost your world your parents! But I want you to do a fresh start with your life, with Mahir! Mahir is not only a caring son but he is also a loving son and I am sure Bela, he will be a loving husband", Sumitra hugged Bela telling her heart out. Bela, on the other hand, rounded her fist and tried to fake a smile.

"Yes Bela bhabhi, I am sure you will be very happy with Mahir bhaiya! All the best bhabhi!", saying Kuhu gave a naughty laugh to Bela. 

After a while, as Mahir tried to enter his bedroom he was suddenly surrounded by Kuhu and Vishakha from nowhere. 

"Hello Mahir Jiju! Where are you going without giving us our Shagun?" Vishakha indicated to give her money as this is considered as Shagun as per rituals. 

"Hanji Mahir bhai...we won't let you enter if we don't get our Shagun!", Kuhu further added to Vishakha's words.

"Ok baba..I will!", saying Mahir handed them money and he entered the room a few minutes later. Bela stood there dressed in a night suit and when Mahir entered the room, she composed herself.

"MahirJi..I know that from now on we are husband and wife and I belong to you but I am not yet ready...Ummm..I wanted to tell you that...it is..", Bela bit her upper lip trying to construct her words. Mahir was listening to him and he slowly walked towards her and placed his finger on her lips. 

"I know Bela that you are still not ready for this relationship and I won't force this marriage on you, I promise. I have married you so that you get justice. I know this marriage can't replace what you have lost, but I promise you that I won't let you face a single problem alone from today onwards. I will be your biggest strength from today, Bela!", saying Mahir cupped her face with his palm. Their eyes matched for a while and she was lost completely lost in him. But soon she collected herself and said to herself, "Bela be strong! Mahir and Sehgal's are your enemy. You are here to take your revenge. That will be justice to your parents."

"MahirJi please leave me alone for a while! I am very tired and I really need some rest. Excuse Me." Bela left the place and gathered herself to sleep on the sofa while Mahir watched her with a tear leaving his eyes. 

Why am I hurt? Bela is right, how she be easy with a marriage that happened in such a hurry. But why am I so much affected by it? Why am I crying when she told me that she is not ready for this marriage? No Bela, I can't lose hope so easily. I promise that I will be with you always. (Mahir promised himself)

"Bela please don't sleep on the sofa, you use the bed and I will sleep on the sofa from now onwards. ", Mahir said softly while Bela protested, "No MahirJi, it's not required. I will manage on the sofa." 

"No Bela you can not! You are my responsibility and I need to take care of you. I have promised Vishakha. I will sleep on the sofa, that's it." Mahir concluded.

"Ok as you wish!" Bela left the place without any further argument.

"Goodnight Bela!" Mahir wished her to which she completely ignored him and turned her back acting to sleep.
