The sky was tar black and big clouds gathered making a wonderful lightning effect..... the strong breeze was enough to calm anyone's nervousness... in this dark cloudy night, expected full of heaviness ready to pour on the earth anytime... loud thunder let out a cry accompanying with the flashes of lighting...

During scary hour of night three Black Mercedes were drove through the busy traffic of Delhi city, one after other in a lightning speed leaving crowdy roads behind to a new destination... making someone more nervous with increasing speed... her heartbeat accelerated in an unstable way...

A girl sitting in back seat of the car... alone... clutching idol of Kanha ji in her soft delicate palms... trying hard to suppress the agitation and fear in her heart... asking for strength, patience, faith, confidence, courage to start her new life... once again...

She was wearing a red lehenga with heavily embroidered choli, a long veil covering her beautiful face... wearing ancestral heavy necklace in her delicate swan like neck... earing, nose-ring, bangles were there performing their part of making her more gorgeous... waist band, hugging her thin and curved waist... anklets on her soft feet touching and tinkling on her every movement... even with minimal make-up, her eyes has another story... so captivating and beautiful... her lips painted with red color, so soft and well -shaped.... overall looking like a goddess... Naina 

The roar of thunder continued in the sky, creating an aura of terror all around her being. ...she recalled the whole day incident which turned her life 360 degree... good or bad... god knows... and now she is heading to her destiny which is unknown to her... thinking what all happening with her from last one month, a lone tear drop from her eyes when suddenly the driver played the song which suits to her situation.... perfectly...

Ajeeb daastaan hai yeh, Kahan shuru kahan khatam

Yeh manzile hai kaunsi, Na voh samajh sake na hum...

Yeh roshni ke saath kyoon, Dhuaan utha chiraag se,

Yeh khwaab dekhti hoon main, Ke jag padi hoon khwaab se...

Ajeeb daastaan hai yeh, Kahan shuru kahan khatam...

From her closed eyes, tears started flowing down... deep in her heart she knew she was wrong but then the situation wasn't in her favor at all... she opened her eyes wiped off her tears and looked outside as not aware on which path life is taking her...

Naina POV (talking to idol carrying in her hand)..

Hey Kanhaji, aaj phir zindagi ek anjaane mod par le aayi hai... nahin pata safar kahaan se shuru hua aur kahaan par khatam hoga... nahin jaanti iss raah ki manzil kahaan hai aur kaun mera humsafar, par itna pata hai ki aap mere saath ho... hamesha the aur hamesha rahoge... koi mere saath rahe ya na rahe, aap rahoge... hamesha...

Mein nahin samajh paayi aaj tak ki meri zindagi mein mujhe khushiyaan jyaada mili hai ya gham... mujhe zindagi ne hansaya hai ya rulaya jyaada... jab bhi zindagi ke baare mein socha ek kash-ma-kash mein ulajh kar rah gayi... kaash koi hota jo mujhe samjhaata ki zindagi aakhir hoti kya hai... humein kya sapne dekhne chahiye... kis umeed ke sahare zindagi kaati jaati hai... sach ya jhooth... meetha ya kadwa... mujhe kuchh bhi nahin pata...

Par na chahte huye bhi maine aaj apni zindagi ki phir ek nayi shuruaat ki hai, lekin afsos ek jhuth ke saath... aap jaante ho maine kabhi jhuth nahin bola par mujh par lage kuchh ilzaam shaayad mein kabhi saabit na kar sakun... mein jaanti hun kisi ka bhi mujh par vishwas karna bohot mushkil hai... mein yeh bhi jaanti hun ki sach ka saath dena bohot mushkil hota hai aur jhooth aasaan... sabne kaha hai par mera dil nahin maanta kisi bhi jhuth ka saath dene ke liye... bhale hi mujhe kitni bhi mushkilon ka saamna karna pade par mein apni zindagi ki nayi shuruaat jhuth ki buniyaad par nahin karungi... I will tell all truth the moment I met him...

Iss baar zindagi mujhe jis raah par le chali hai mein usey poori imaandaari se nibhaungi... yeh mera wada hai, khud se bhi... aur aap se bhi...

Her chain of thoughts break with a rough voice of person sitting at driver seat with a cold and stern face... showing no emotions... "Ma'am... we reach... please get down" though his words were soft but his tone was harsh giving shiver...

A well suited elegant looking person, gets down from car quickly and open the door of back seat for her... she lifted her eyes to looked at him with a soft smile but her smile faded seeing his stern emotionless face... she gets more scared and nervous and prefer to remain quiet... he picked up her only luggage of a small bag and moved inside...

She gets down from car with difficulty arranging her heavy lehenga.... seeing no one around she adjusted her veil lowering her eyes starts following him till door... she stops at the door surprisingly seeing all dark with the light of few night lamps from garden area... no one was around to welcome her... to greet her as a newly wed...

He turned to see her standing at a distance... he called her in a rough tone but in low voice, "what are you waiting for Ma'am... just follow me... it's about to rain soon..." she looked him confusingly but nodded quietly and followed him entering into her new house... new life... with no welcoming rituals...

Whole house was illuminated with dim night lamps only like any other regular day, surprising to her, "are they do not welcome their new daughter-in-law... strange... might be they have a different culture to be followed..." she shrugged her thought seeing whole house almost in dark like another regular day.... nothing was special which looks like a marriage day... no one was around except few servants who were busy in their work and staring her with wide eyes like she is an alien...

Leaving all irrelevant thoughts coming in her mind she followed the person walking ahead without even lifting her head... taking elevator they reached at second floor... stepping out he headed towards a long corridor and after crossing the half-way, he stopped outside a door... opening the door for her he gesture her to go inside without saying a word...

She walked inside the room when heard the sound of door closed behind her... she roamed around her eyes... the entire room was decorated with candles and flowers...seems perfect for first wedding night... room was neat and walls were decorated with huge paintings... a big king size bed was placed in the center... besides a bedside table with beautiful lamp shade... a big size couch was placed on the left side of the room to sit and relax... a divider separating the closet area at the other corner of the room, attached with a big bathroom which was even bigger than her own bedroom in her house which she was sharing with her elder sister... room was designed in a classy manner but not overloaded with lots of decorative items... everything was perfect but a serene silence in the room making her more anxious...

Sweat beads formed over her forehead feeling bit uneasy but keeping all her thoughts aside she moved inside and sits at one corner of the bed... she felt hell nervous and all her courage to face him getting vanished minute by minute... Naina was tingling her both hand nervously keep praying in her heart... she keep the idol holding in her hand on the side table and sits back at a corner on bed covering her face as per the ritual...

Soon she heard a creek sound of doorknob opened added to some weird noises but didn't get courage to lift her head to see ahead... she felt the screeching sound approaching towards her... closer... her body stiffened and her grip on her lehenga become tighter...

She keep fidgeting her fingers when a cold voice halt her moment... "you seems so shy that not even lifting your eyes to see your husband... or can I say, you are not interested... ?" his sharp and cold voice with slight teasing, make her shuddered... her heart skipped a beat thinking, "who talks to his newly wedded wife in this tone that too first time... strange... can't he spoke bit softly..." she murmured softly in her heart but has no courage to voice out...

Naina gaining courage, lift her eyes slowly with a strange feeling.... she looked up and saw him staring at her with no emotions in his eyes... unable to bear his intense cold gaze she blinked hard lowering her eyes immediately but stunned for a moment to see him...

Naina's face fell and this was observed by Sameer, her husband, who was sitting on a wheelchair just a few steps away from her...

Sameer said coldly with a tinge of hatred in his voice, "don't tell me that you were not aware that you are going to marry a disabled person... is it so..?" though he asked in his cold and harsh voice but his eyes were deeply looking into her changed expression and somehow felt hurt...

Getting no response from her, Sameer turned his wheelchair around to leave out from room but suddenly stopped in midway hearing her soft trembled voice, "please... ruk jaaiye... at least listen to me once... please..." she pleaded softly...

Sameer stopped in his way, turned back and looked at her gloomy face... he moved close to her but finding her short of words to speak further looking anywhere, to avoid his fiery gaze...

She slowly took a step ahead when a flying packet lands near her feet... she looked him with teary eyes as unable to understand how to react... it's true that she was not aware about him before marriage... but it was not her fault... she has to explain him everything before it creates more confusion between them... she doesn't want to start her new life with a lie... but will he understand?

Naina looked at him with fear in her eyes surprisingly when heard his loud voice, "don't you want a gift on your first night from your rich, wealthy and fortunately handicapped husband... my dear wifey..." she got hell of shocked hearing his stern and rude voice, shuddering her from the core...

She stood rooted there when he shouts again making her tremble, "pick it up or you want me to do this service for you... my highness.." hearing his sarcastic tone, she shook her head in a panic and picked up the envelope with quivering hand... she opened slowly and shocked to see her own pictures inside... of her first marriage...

Tears rolled down on her cheek when she spoke stammering badly, "aap... aap.. galat... mein.. aapko..." her voice cracked due to her throat chocked... she closed her eyes tightly to control the tears from falling down.. she can't get weak at this moment... she has to stay strong to explain herself...

Sameer moved towards her staring at her threateningly... she took step back immediately but he had already arrived her in front of her... he moved very quickly as he raised his hand and grabbed her thin fair wrist, pulling her down, close to his face...

Sameer pressed her jaws in his big palm giving her acute pain, "what the hell do you think of yourself... you think you can cheat on me as I am disabled.. how dare your family can hide such a big truth from us... I will destroy you and all who tried to mess up with me... did you get that..." saying this he jerked her rudely making her fall on cold floor in a fraction of second...

He was about to move when she sits back quickly folding her hand in front of him, "please... please.. meri baat suniye.. mein.. mein aapko batana chahati thi par..." before she finished he shouts back on her, "I hate people like you who can go to any extent for money... ridiculous... just get out from my sight if you want to save your life... I can't tolerate you even for a second... I hate liars and cheaters like you..."

She looked at him shockingly that how she can leave him on the very first day of their marriage... in true sense, she has no other place to go if he throw her out from his house... 

She wiped off her tears and pleads in front of him, "please... please mujhe ek mauka aur de dijiye... if you don't want I will not even show you my face... I will not disturb you for anything... mein ghar mein ek kone mein rah lungi, par please mujhe ghar se mat nikaaliye... please listen to me once... I can explain you everything... it's not my fault... really.." she cried her heart out pleading him that she was nowhere at fault...

She wants to make him understand and explain her point and that can be possible if she will stay around him... she pleads in all possible way as knowing he has the ability to destroy her and her whole family in a minute... also doesn't want to take blame of one more marriage failure on her head without even making an attempt...

Sameer looked at her with hatred giving a disgusting look, as he was used too of such girls who were ready to marry him even knowing his disability just only because of his money and status... though Naina's voice and pleads leave an impact on him but he keep looking her point blank... doesn't want to trust on her at all... how can he... but somewhere in his heart how can he deny even... his heart got pierced seeing her tears...

Naina keep crying silently... didn't even get courage to lift her head and looked towards him... they both remain seated at their place few inches away from each other... her sobs and his raging breathe only audible in the room....

Naina sits there, holding her breathe as she waited for some sort of response from him... seeing no reaction from Sameer, Naina stood to leave the place and move towards the door... taking slow steps controlling her hiccups, she passed from his side...

His body stayed still, but his head turned around slightly.. he then threw her a stern look from the corners of his eyes as his devilish voice declared, "stop... don't create a scene going out at this hour of time... but I am warning you first and last time... don't you dare to come close to me... ever... understood... you and this shitty marriage is nothing for me... I will never forgive you... and never accept you in my life... keep this thing in your cunning mind..." he said rudely in his harsh tone...

Sameer's words engulfed her mind and heart... she closed her eyes for a while and took a deep breathe before turning her head towards him... he was still sitting keeping his back towards her.... with a slight ray of hope, she took a step towards him to apologize, when he showed his hand to stop her... she halt in between when seeing him pointing towards the balcony attached to their room... she looked him shockingly as it's started raining heavily outside... is she supposed to stay out in balcony for whole night...?

But not having any choice and not in a position to argue anymore, she quietly accept his order and moved towards balcony... opening the glass-door she stepped out when shuddered with a loud sound of door shut at her back.... she turned to see his stern face on the other side of the glass with teary eyes... her vision blocked instantly with the curtains...
