Thank you very much my dearest friend ingenuity_phoenix for the beautiful cover pages.

Luthra house...

Karan and Preeta were busy making arrangements for the engagement of their daughter Bela.All were very happy.But Bela's sister Kavya was not happy.

Kavya went near Bela and said:Bela...there is still time.Call of this engagement.break your relationship with Ranav.He does not suit you.He is not good Bela.We will find a better guy for you.You will be happier with him.

Bela became dull.

Bela:Kavya...I had asked you many times why you don't like me with Ranav.You always said that Ranav is not a good guy.You are not explaining clearly why you think that Ranav is not a good person.But all I can say is ...it's all a misunderstanding.Ranav is a very nice person.He loves me very much.I also love him.We will be happy with each other.Don't be upset Kavya.

Kavya became upset.

She thought:Bela can't understand anything.What will I do?But I will not let them get married.

Bela's and Ranav's engagement function...

Bela and Ranav exchanged rings.

Karan-Preeta:You both are made for each other.

Ranav's parents Shekhar-Yamini:We agree.

Ranav and Bela smiled.

They embraced each other happily.

Preeta and Karan were feeling emotional.

Preeta:I can't believe that our daughter has become so big.

Karan smiled:Me too Preeta.

Preeta:Bela was born on Janmashtami.So she is Lord Krishna's blessing.

Karan:Exactly.That's why you dressed her as little Krishna during Janmashtani celebrations.

Preeta remembered she and Karan spending time with little Bela when we was dressed as Lord Krishna on Janmashtami.

Karan and Preeta giggled.

Preeta:She was looking so cute.

Karan:Now also she is so cute.

They smiled.

Kavya became dull seeing Ranav and Bela happily chatting with each other.

A handsome man was standing near her.He is Kavya's lover Dev.

Dev:When will our turn come Kavya?

Kavya:After Bela get married.

Dev:Bela will get married to Ranav soon.

Kavya thought:I will never let Bela marry Ranav.

Suddenly Karan said:Wait patiently guys.

Preeta:We will conduct your wedding soon.

Dev's mother Vrushali:Yes...very soon.That will be the best function.

Dev and Kavya smiled.

Dev's aunty Nidhi said:I just can't wait for my Dev beta's wedding.

Uncle Manav:Me too.

Ranav held Bela's hand and started dancing.

Ranav noticed that Bela was not smiling from the bottom of her heart.

Ranav:Bela...I feel that you are not happy enough.What happened?

Bela:You are right.I am not that happy.Because you didn't give me any compliment seeing my engagement look.

Ranav thought:Why girls are obsessed with compliments?

Ranav:I didn't say anything because I didn't get words to describe your beauty.

Bela blushed.

Still she pretended to be angry.

Ranav:Again you are angry?Still you are not willing to smile?Why did you stop smiling?Smile Bela.

Bela:I won't.

Suddenly Ranav started tickling her.She started laughing.He was also laughing.

Bela pushes Ranav to make him stop tickling.He lost his balance and he fell over her.They both fell down.He was on top of her.

They were lost in each other's eyes.

Karan-Preeta and Yamini - Shekhar were embarrassed to see it.

Shekhar:Control yourself Ranav.It's a public place.

Yamini:Have some shame Ranav.

Ranav and Bela got up from the floor.

Ranav:Stop it mom..dad...we lost our balance and fell down.That's it.You both are overreacting because of some stupid misunderstanding.

They all smiled.

They all were having dinner together.Chicken bone pricked Dev's hand.

Dev:Oh!

Kavya noticed it.

Kavya:Dev...you are so foody that you are careless while eating food.

Kavya:Come with me.

Kavya grabbed his hand and took him near the wash basin.She washed his hand.Then she applied ointment on the wound.

Dev smiled:Now itself you are behaving like a wife.So I think I should also behave like a husband.

He pulled her closer romantically.

She blushed.

Kavya:Dev...it's Bela's engagement.So many guests are there.So stop it.

She pushed him.

Dev:So unfair..

Kavya:Come and resume having your food.

Dev smiled.

Kavya met Ranav.

Ranav:Why did you call me Kavya?

Kavya:As usual I called you to back out from the wedding.

Ranav:As usual I am telling you that I cannot leave Bela.

Kavya got irritated.

Kavya:I really want to tell Bela about your dark secret.But I am not able to tell her that because she will get scared and I don't want her to get scared.

Ranav:Why are you alone adamant about breaking our relationship Kavya?

Kavya:Because only I know that you are a Rakshas.Accidentally I saw your demon form.But I saw you brutally killing people.

Ranav:I already told you that I am not a bad demon.I take my demon form only to protect people.I killed those people because they were trying to molest a girl.

Kavya:No.You are lying.You are bad.You are faking love to Bela..so that you can use her blood.

Ranav:Stop it Kavya.If that was my plan i could have already attacked bela and drunk her blood.I would not have waited to marry Bela.I want to marry Bela because i love her.The only mistake i am doing is hiding my identity from Bela.But i am hiding it because i don't want Bela to misunderstand me.

Kavya:Enough of your lies.Since you are not willing to leave Bela I know what I have to do.I will kill you.

Ranav laughed.

Ranav:How can an ordinary human being like you kill a big demon like me?

Kavya smirked:What if I am not an ordinary human being?

Suddenly Kavya changed into a serpent. She was half human and half serpent.

Kavya:I am a Naagin...Ichadari Naagin.

Ranav was shocked.
