A marriage hall was decorated very beautifully with red and golden fragrant flowers and colourful shining bright lights. Bride and groom were sitting beside each other in the marriage pavilion and a priest was enchanting hymns. The bride was dressed up gracefully in a red plus orange combo lehenga with all the necessary jewelleries and had covered her face with a veil while the groom was dressed up elegantly in a golden sherwani with red pyjamas and a red turban.

Almost all the rituals were performed and now it was time for the seven circumambulations. The bride and the groom stood up from their places for the same.

"Ruk jao..."...A voice came from behind.

The bride, the groom and the bride's father looked in the direction of the voice. Bride's father was surprised to see the person.

"Kishore!"...He uttered surprisingly.

"Ye shaadi nahin ho sakti"...Kishore said while walking towards him.

Bride's father: Kaisi baatein kar rahe ho Kishore?...Main maanta hoon maine tumhe Purvi ki shaadi ke baare mein der se bataya...To sirf is baat ke liye naaraaz mat ho jao yaar.

"Main naaraaz nahin hoon Paritosh...Main abhi jo kuchh bol raha hoon ekdam soch samajhkar bol raha hoon...Tum ye shaadi abhi ke abhi rok do"...Kishore said in a serious tone.

Paritosh and Purvi were confused with his talks. Paritosh moved close to him. Purvi was standing still at her place in confusion. She hadn't unveiled her face till now.

"Baat kya hai Kishore?"...Paritosh asked Kishore in confusion.

"Paritosh jis ladke ke saath Purvi ki shaadi ho rahi hai wo Mumbai ki jail se bhaaga hua ek mujrim hai"...Kishore told him while looking at the groom in anger.

Paritosh was utterly shocked after hearing him. He looked at the groom and before he could speak a word to him he held Purvi at his gun point.

"Ae agar koi bhi aage aaya to main Purvi ko maar doonga"...The groom said while looking at him, Kishore and all the guests.

"Suyash chhod do Purvi ko!...Usne tumhara kya bigada hai?"...Paritosh uttered angrily.

"Bigada to kuchh nahin hai...Lekin ye mera bigda hua kaam bana sakti hai, yahan se bhaagne mein meri help karke"...Suhas said while laughing and tightening his grip over Purvi.

Paritosh got surprised as well as angry with him.

"Maine tumpar aankh moond kar bharosa kiya aur tumne ye sila diya mere bharose ka"...He said angrily while looking at him.

"Are sasurji...Oops...Uncleji...Abhi to shaadi hui hi nahin hai...To abhi aap uncle hi hue...Right?"...Suyash said with a laughter while looking at him.

Paritosh and Kishore looked at him in anger.

"Are aap dono mujhe aise kyun dekh rahe hain?...Oh! Aap dono ye soch rahe hain na ki main aisa kyun kar raha hoon...To suniye...Mera naam Suyash Singhal hai...Main Manoj Singhal ka ek lauta beta hoon"...Suyash said while looking at both of them.

"Manoj Singhal"...Paritosh murmured in confusion while looking at him.

"Wahi Manoj Singhal jisko tumne phaansi ki sazaa sunayi thi ex-justice Paritosh Mathur...Tumhari wajah se mere papa is duniya mein nahin hain...Jis din tumne mere papa ko phaansi ki sazaa sunayi thi usi din maine khud se ye waada kiya tha ki main tumhe barbaad kar doonga"...Suyash said at the top of his voice in anger.

Paritosh and Kishore were utterly shocked after hearing him.

"lsliye main Lucknow aaya kyunki retire hokar tum yahan apne ghar hi aanewale the...Yahan mujhe mili tumhari beti Purvi...Ise dekhte hi mera dil aa gaya tha ispar"...Suyash said further with an evil smile while sliding his left hand over Purvi's bare waist.

Purvi got angry with his foul act. She tried to free herself from his grip but he held her more tightly. Paritosh and Kishore lost their temper after seeing that.

"Is se milne ke baad maine soch liya tha ki is se shaadi karke har din isko tang karoonga...Kyunki isko takleef mein dekhkar tumhe bhi takleef hogi jis se mujhe beyhadh khushi hogi ex-justice Paritosh Mathur"...Suyash said further while laughing evilly.

Paritosh clenched his fists in anger.

"Is se shaadi karne ke liye kya kya karna pada mujhe...Tumhara shagrid ban'na pada aur isko patane ke liye jis school mein ye padhati thi wahan ka teacher ban'na pada...Uff! Kitni mehnat karni padi mujhe"...Suyash said while sliding his gun on Purvi's neck.

"Suyash main aakhri baar keh raha hoon!...Chhod do Purvi ko!"...Paritosh yelled in anger.

"Aa haan!...Aise kaise chhod doon...Pehle main yahan se bahar jaaunga...Phir ise apna banaunga...Hamesha hamesha ke liye"...Suyash said while keeping his gun on Purvi's head and walking outside the marriage hall.

Paritosh and Kishore followed him secretly. They had completely lost their temper after hearing his words. On the other hand, Purvi was trying hard to make herself free from his grip but she failed in doing so. Suddenly she felt his grip becoming loose. She turned back and before she could lift her veil up to see anything Paritosh came and hugged her.

Paritosh looked at Suyash who was lying on the ground and then at the person who has kicked him. The person was a young handsome man who was dressed up soberly in a navy blue crisp shirt with black denim jeans.

"Tum?"...Paritosh uttered confusedly while looking at him.

"Paritosh ye mera beta Kavin hai"...Kishore told him while walking towards the man.

"Kavin!"...Paritosh uttered surprisingly with a bright smile while looking at Kavin.

Kavin smiled at him. Then, he looked at Suyash who was still lying on the ground. He held him and sent him with the local police. Paritosh looked at him in confusion. Kishore noticed his confusion very well.

"Aise kya dekh rahe ho Paritosh...Kavin ek CID officer hai"...He told him and smiled while looking at Kavin.

Paritosh looked at Kavin in surprise as he heard him.

"Isi ki wajah se to main yahan late aaya. Iski job hi aisi hai ki chhutti milna thoda mushkil hota hai...Lekin jab maine ise bataya ki Purvi ki shaadi Suyash se ho rahi hai tab isne mujhe bataya ki Suyash ek criminal hai...Phir main turant ise apne saath lekar yahan aa gaya aur baaki to tum jaante hi ho"...Kishore said and sighed.

Purvi was standing still at her place and was listening to her father and Kishore's conversation. Her face was still covered with the veil. Paritosh looked at Kishore and Kavin with tear brimmed eyes.

"Main kaise tum dono ka shukriyada karoon...Aaj tum dono ki wajah se meri Purvi ki zindagi barbaad hote hote bachi hai...Pata nahin is ehsaan ka badla main kaise chukaunga"...He said in a teary voice while joining his palms in front of them.

"Uncle isme ehsaan wali kounsi baat hai...Ye to mera farz tha"...Kavin said softly while holding his hands.

Paritosh smiled a bit as he heard him.

"Tum is ehsaan ka badla chuka sakte ho Paritosh"...Kishore said in the mean time.

Paritosh shifted his gaze from Kavin and looked at Kishore in confusion.

"Apni Purvi ki shaadi mere Kavin se kara do"...Kishore said with a smile.

Kavin left Paritosh's hands and looked at him in utter surprise. Purvi and Paritosh were surprised too. Kishore looked at Kavin.

"Main jaanta hoon beta...Tum dono ek doosre ko nahin jaante ho...Tumne ab tak ek doosre ko dekha bhi nahin hai...Lekin main Purvi ko bahut achchhe se jaanta hoon...Ye sanskari aur sulekh ladki hai...Ye tumhe bahut khush rakhegi"...He said to him with a genuine smile.

Then, he shifted his gaze from Kavin and looked at Paritosh.

"Paritosh main yahan ek aur wajah se aaya tha...Purvi ko apne ghar ki bahu banane ki ichchha lekar...Main shuruwat se hi hamari dosti ko rishtedaari mein badalna chahta tha"...He said softly while looking at him.

"Mujhe ye rishta manzoor hai Kishore"...Paritosh said to him with a soft smile.

Kishore smiled brightly after hearing him. He looked at Kavin who was surprised while Paritosh looked at Purvi who was rubbing her palms anxiously.

"Main is shaadi ke liye tayyar hoon papa"...Kavin said to Kishore as he always obeyed his words.

Purvi was utterly surprised after hearing him while Paritosh and Kishore got happy with his reply.

"Lekin Purvi ki marzi bhi to jaan leni chahiye...Kya ye mujhse shaadi karne ke liye tayyar hain?...Agar ye tayyar hain to main aaj hi inse shaadi kar loonga"...Kavin said further to Kishore and Paritosh.

Kishore smiled and looked at Paritosh for his assurance. Whereas Kavin looked at Purvi whose face was still covered with the veil.

"Purvi beta...Main jaanta hoon pichhli baar tumhari marzi ke bina hi maine Suyash ke saath tumhari shaadi tay kar di thi...Lekin is baar wahi hoga jo tum chahogi"...Paritosh said to Purvi in a soft voice.

Purvi sensed some kind of hope in his voice that indicated that he wanted her to marry Kavin. She was now in a deep dilemma.

Purvi (Pov): Agar aaj maine shaadi ke liye mana kar diya to papa ko logon ke tarah tarah ke taane sun'ne padenge...Aur main aisa nahin hone de sakti...

She jerked her thoughts and took a deep breathe.

"Main Kavinji se shaadi karne ke liye tayyar hoon papa"...She said to Paritosh.

Paritosh and Kishore got happy after hearing her reply. They hugged each other in sheer happiness. After that, they went along with Kavin and Purvi into the marriage hall. All the guests and relatives were confused after seeing the whole scenario. So, Paritosh declared Purvi's marriage with Kavin to clear their confusion.

After sometime, the priest again started all the marriage rituals as Paritosh and Kishore asked him to. After all the rituals were performed Kavin and Purvi stood up for the seven circumambulations. They sat back again on their places after completing the same. Kavin tied a mangalsutra around Purvi's neck and then applied a pinch of vermillion on her upper forehead without seeing her face as in their culture bride and groom were not allowed to see each other's face before their marriage. After a few more rituals they were declared married. They were now officially husband and wife although they have never met or seen each other before. They stood up from their places and sought the blessings of their fathers who were happy for them from the bottom of their hearts.
