Armaan's Private Plane

Armaan's plane takes off from Delhi Airport and the pilot announces they will arrive Mumbai in 2 hours.

Armaan and Kavya have taken their seat on the single luxurious chair at the sides with a walking passage in-between them.

They unfastened their seat belts after hearing the proclamation and Armaan leans back comfortably in his chair. He closes his eyes to relax and remembers the day spent with the Kapoor family.

His lips curl up to a smile as he recalls Ranveer's silly stunt of secretly adding chilli sauce in Nimrit's food. But at the same time, Nimrit added honey in Ranveer's food.

Their weird faces after tasting the food made the dining room echo with Kavya, Myra and Armaan's giggles. They had witnessed addition of the secret ingredients, yet remained quiet and enjoy the show.

He remains in his memory lane, cherishing the happy moments.

While on the other hand, Kavya gazes the night-time beauty of the Delhi city through the windowpane.

Her eyes moisten, absorbing the last memory of her city, where she was born and brought up. She leans in her seat and recalls the time she has spent with her family and friends.

In the whole journey, Kavya and Armaan remain in their own thoughts as the plane nears Mumbai.

Mumbai Airport

Armaan's plane lands at the Mumbai airport and they proceed towards the exit.

Armaan locates Rihan and finds a bouquet of white orchids in his hand. He guides Kavya in the direction, who walks in silence.

Rihan wishes Armaan after they reach him, "Congratulations for the marriage."

Armaan nods in response then Rihan faces Kavya, who is standing beside her husband.

Rihan wishes her as well, "Congratulations for the marriage, Mrs. Raichand."

Kavya smiles at him, then faces Armaan, who he takes the cue of introducing them, "Kavya, he is Rihan, my PA and friend."

Rihan adds with a grin, "Only friend, to be precise."

Kavya smiles and Armaan adds, "Plus, the only person, I trust in both my professional and personal life."

Kavya smiles at Armaan, who smiles back at her and Rihan raise his eyebrows in amusement.

Rihan thinks, 'Wow. The arrogant is smiling. That's amazing!'

Kavya turns to face Rihan, and he offers the bouquet which she accepts with a smile and "Thank you."

Rihan states, gesturing Kavya towards the parking zone, "Welcome to Mumbai, Mrs. Raichand."

Kavya corrects him, "Kavya."

Rihan frowns and she states, "Call me Kavya, one shouldn't be formal or use surnames to interact with their friend's family."

Armaan freezes at his spot, hearing her words and turns to face his wife, who is smiling at Rihan.

The realisation of learning, she is a part of his family now, brings back the guilt and discomforting feeling in his senses. He has been planning to confess the truth now, but her attempts to make a place in his life is making him rethink.

But he can't continue the false act anymore and pushes away his thoughts. He needs freedom from this marriage, which is only possible when Kavya knows the truth.

While Rihan smiles at her warmhearted nature and states, "Ok, then welcome to Mumbai, Kavya."

Kavya nods in acknowledgement and moves towards the parking zone.

Rihan gazes Armaan and finds him engrossed in his thoughts, which makes Rihan frown in confusion.

Rihan thinks, 'There is something cooking in his mind. But what?'

Armaan walks behind Kavya after composing himself and Rihan doesn't get an opportunity to voice his doubt. He pushes away his doubts and follows them, planning to ask later in private. 

The driver loads the luggage in the car and Armaan opens the car door for Kavya. She takes her seat and Armaan closes the door.

He faces Rihan and states, "I will meet you tomorrow in the office."

Rihan nods in response and Armaan takes his seat from the other side. He orders the driver to take them to his Mansion.

Rihan watches the car, hitting the busy roads of Mumbai and he moves towards his own car.

Rihan thinks, 'I hope Armaan doesn't do something stupid, or else Kavya will be hurt.'

Armaan's Mansion

Armaan's car halts in front of the gigantic wrought-iron gate of the Mansion. The gates open, splitting up the monograms 'A' and 'R' carved in the essence of the vintage design.

A squad of security guard bows as the car passes them to travel towards the lobby of the luxurious Mansion.

Armaan informs with a touch of pride in his voice, "This is my Mansion."

Kavya's lips curl up to a big smile when her sparkling eyes lands on her new home.

The white exterior of the Mansion with the lights, focusing on certain sections, increases its beauty.

Kavya's happiness grew more as her eyes explore the beauty of her new home.

The car circles around the large water fountain and halts at the path, connecting to the lobby of the Mansion.

The excitement to enter her home and explore its internal beauty grows in her heart, killing the earlier sadness of leaving her father's home.

Armaan's guilt triggers on observing Kavya's growing happiness.

Though his greed to receive freedom from this marriage, pushes away those feelings and determines to confess everything now.

Armaan takes a deep breath to compose himself and moves out of the car. He advances towards Kavya's side and raises his hand to stop the security guard, who was moving ahead to open her side of the door.

Armaan opens the door and Kavya steps out with a constant smile, lacing her lips. He guides her inside the Mansion through the wooden door while mentally preparing a way to confess.

Kavya smiles with excitement as she gazes into the modern interior of the Mansion. The white Italian marble flooring and dark wood furniture compliments each other.

The pleasant aroma in the atmosphere, provides peace and relaxation to Kavya's mind as she steps further inside the Mansion.

Although, Armaan takes the staircase to move upstairs, making Kavya sad.

She expected him to give a tour of her new home, their home, where she will start a new journey of her life with her husband.

Yet a part convinces her to not be disheartened and follow Armaan in the anticipation, maybe he wants to start the tour with their room.

So, Kavya follows Armaan and smiles again, believing in the positive. Though she climbs in a slow pace as the interiors of her home again earn her attention.

Once they reach at the top, Armaan halts in front of a room. He turns to face Kavya, who is busy admiring her surroundings with a smile on her face.

He exhales to control his discomforting feeling and clears his throat to grab her attention.

Armaan points at the room door near him and informs, "This is your room." 

Then he points towards the room, across the passage and informs, "And that's my room."

Kavya takes a glimpse of the two rooms in confusion, then stares at Armaan to ask, "What do you mean by this is my room and that is yours?"

Armaan sighs and turns back towards the room, which he addressed as hers and twist the antique knob. He opens the door and gestures with his hand, non-verbally asking her to enter.

The confused Kavya steps inside the massive room and takes a glimpse of the white, luxurious interior.

But the beauty of the interior no longer fascinates her as the earlier words of her husband cloud her mind.

Kavya turns to face Armaan and finds him, standing at a distance of two feet.

Her eyes reflect her confusion and Armaan clarifies in a firm tone, "This is only your room, Kavya."

Kavya's heart skips a beat at his words and she voices her doubt, "Only my room? What are you saying, Armaan?"

Armaan opens his mouth to answer, only to stop hearing her another question, "Why do we...we have separate rooms?"

Armaan sighs, sensing a hint of fear in her eyes and voice. He can scrutinise, her thoughts are making way to the direction, where the truth resides.

He takes a step ahead and states in a calm tone, "Kavya, I want to confess something, and I want you to listen with patience and understand the reasons. Alright?"

The growing fear engulfs Kavya's heart as his actions and words registers in her mind. She even notices the guilt in his eyes, which adds to her worry and captivates her mind with negative thoughts.

But she convinces herself to avoid the negativity and first listen to him before reaching to the conclusion.

So, she nods in response and Armaan asks her to sit on the bed. She obeys and takes her seat on the edge of the bed, then plays with the fabric of her saree in nervousness.

Armaan choses to stand and faces her while thinking how to begin with the confession.

He starts, "Kavya, Dad had blackmailed me to do something."

Kavya stop ruffling with her saree and asks in shock, "Blackmail?"

He nods, and she continues, "But why will your father blackmail you? And for what?"

Armaan runs his hand in his hair vigorously, controlling the anger, which he has reserved for his father in his heart.

He faces Kavya and confesses the most shocking truth of her life, "He had blackmailed me to....to marry you, for the sake of my company."

Kavya's eyes widen in shock, hearing his words and she stares at Armaan in a hope to find a glimpse of lies, joke or misunderstanding.

But she only notices truth in his eyes.

She demands in a croaky voice, "Armaan, do you know what are you saying? Blackmailing you to marry me for the sake of your company?"

Armaan explains, "Kavya, I know the truth is unacceptable for you, but I am not lying. Dad had blackmailed me."

Kavya whispers in a defeated tone, "Why?"

Armaan takes a deep breath and starts narrating the history, "On the day when we met, Dad had called me on urgent basis in the morning to Delhi. Trust me, I didn't had the slightest idea of his intentions. So, when he ordered me to marry you, I was shocked."

Kavya stares at Armaan with tears in her eyes as he continues to confess, "But I denied. To be honest, I never wanted to marry and I don't even believe in relationships. That's a reason, I never had any affair or girlfriend in my entire life. I simply wanted to keep working and growing my business. My life only revolves around my work. Nothing else."

Tears escape from Kavya's eyes, as each word stabs her heart and she keeps staring at her husband in shock.

But Armaan turns to avoid Kavya's piercing gaze and moves towards the window at his left and sighs in frustration.

He carries on while gazing outside, "Mom and Dad knew, I wasn't interested in marriage. So, Dad used the weapon of blackmail. He said if I didn't marry you, he will take back all the rights, I hold in RGC."

Kavya covers her mouth with her hand in shock and she lowers her gaze, allowing her painful tears to flow down.

Armaan goes on, "When I realized there was no escape, I agreed to marry you, only for the sake of my company."

Armaan turns to face Kavya, but stays rooted at his place and confesses, "But Dad knew, it will not be easy to convince you. Simply because I have no experience with girls and was never in a relationship."

Armaan hesitates before confessing further, "So with the help of few lies and false acts, I tricked you. Everything I said or did, during our meetings was fake, Kavya. That was needed to convince you for this marriage."

Kavya stammers while asking, "You...you mean, everything between us was....was fake, every moment we....we shared was fake?"

Armaan nods and answers with no emotions, "Yes, it was fake. I am not the person, which I showed you. I am completely opposite."

Armaan's statement breaks Kavya's heart, causing tears to escape from her eyes. She fails to believe the man she trusted and loved was fake, everything about him was fake, their moments were a trap to convince her.

Kavya asks with teary eyes, "You tricked me for this marriage, you spoiled my entire life for only your rights in the company?"

Armaan walks closer, seeing her tears and gives her an apologetic look.

He apologises, "Kavya, I am sorry. I know, I have hurt you. You must be feeling punished, for a mistake you never committed. But try to understand, I had no other choice. Dad left no room for escape."

Kavya stares at Armaan in disbelief who confessed everything bluntly, as if he is not at fault. She fails to find a single trace of emotion in him, which broke her heart even more.

Armaan places a hand over her shoulder, making her stares at his hand then at him with tears in her eyes.

He states, "I know you must be having expectations from me and this marriage. But I don't believe in relationships and never planned to settle in my life. I don't want anyone in my life."

More tears escape from her eyes, hearing his harsh words, which are stabbing her heart million times, killing every dream she built.

Armaan continues, "So Kavya, though we are legally married, I can't consider you as my wife. This relation, this marriage means nothing to me."

Kavya stares at Armaan with hurtful eyes, who stays least affected. His face is devoid of emotions and his eyes are blank, which increased the pain in her heart.

The man, she loves and dreamed to spent a beautiful life, declared their marriage meant nothing to him. Her husband didn't want to consider her as his wife.

The love of her life killed her dreams, snatched her happiness for his own benefits.

But his greed didn't stop there, now he wanted a safe escape from the situation.

Kavya fails to believe she fell in love with this man, who didn't think of her wellbeing and happiness, even for once.

However, her sadness turns into hatred for this man, who tricked her for his selfish benefits.

Kavya glares at Armaan's hand, which is resting on her shoulder and pushes it away to avoid the skin contact.

Armaan stares at his hand, then at Kavya. He finds hurt and anger in her moist eyes.

So, he tries to reach her shoulder again, but she takes a step back, while lowering her gaze.

Armaan sighs and states, "Kavya, please try to understand. Look, I am not asking for divorce, I am not leaving you. I had promised your father, I will take good care of you. So, I will maintain that promise."

Kavya stares at him in disbelief and he goes on, "I will take charge of you and your every need. I will provide you with everything you wish. Just name it and you will get it, at your earliest. And from now on, whatever is mine, will be yours. You will endure the same luxurious life, you lived, earlier. Nothing will change."

Kavya asks with disbelief, "Nothing will change?"

Armaan nods and she takes a step ahead to question in a louder voice, "Nothing will change, Armaan. You think, this is a joke? Our marriage is a joke?"

Armaan stays silent and Kavya continues, "Your Dad blackmailed you so you agreed to trick me for this marriage. And now you say, you don't believe in it."

Though her eyes held tears, her voice carries anger and hatred towards him.

Kavya yells at him, "Do you even know what are you saying, Armaan? You married me in front of thousand people."

Armaan explains, "Kavya, trust me, I had no other option."

Kavya yells again, "YOU HAD, you had the option to confess the truth to me earlier. You had the option to explain and convince your father."

Armaan informs, "Kavya, Dad was not ready to listen, he kept threatening me. I am not at fault."

Kavya snaps at him, "Yes, you are at fault. In fact, you are the only person to be blamed."

Armaan frowns and Kavya accuses him, "Your Dad threatened you, so you spoiled my life. He nevertheless thought about you, his son, but what about you? You only thought yourself, your rights, your company, your ambitions and destroyed my life. You are worse than your father."

Armaan clenches his fist in anger, but he knows Kavya is angry and she has the right to be. So, he shuts his eyes to calm himself and not say anything to her.

But Kavya doesn't stop and continues, "Mr. Armaan Raichand you are the most selfish person, I have ever met in my life. Just for a company, you spoiled my life and now very conveniently, you are blaming your father."

Armaan opens his mouth to protest, only to stop by Kavya's accusation, "You should have confessed everything to me at the right time, but you didn't. Why? Because Armaan Raichand is a coward."

Armaan's anger rises with her words, but Kavya doesn't stop and insults him, "You didn't surrender in front of your father because he didn't left any choice. You surrendered because you were incompetent to work individually, because you have no self-respect to walk out for justice."

Armaan glares at Kavya, who no longer has tears in her eyes. Now she has only anger and hatred in them.

Kavya snaps while glaring, "So it is proven, today you are the successful business tycoon Armaan Raichand because of your father's well established business. That makes your awards, achievement and appreciation in the corporate world fake."

Kavya declares, staring in his anger filled gaze, "Sane as you....fake and illuminated."

Armaan glares at Kavya and clenches his fist in anger. But his piercing gaze didn't stir Kavya, who stands as solid as a rock in front of him. They continued staring at each other with anger in their eyes.

Armaan didn't say a word and turns to leave, while closing the door.

Kavya hears a faint noise of a door opening and closing. She knew he has entered his room.

Kavya lowers her gaze, recalling Armaan's confession. Then recalls all the moments she shared with Armaan. The beautiful moment she believed, she would cherish for the rest of her life.

Today those moments are declared fake acts.

Kavya remembers the Armaan whom she loved, but tears form in her eyes realizing that Armaan never existed.

That Armaan was an imposter, wrapped with false statements, who fooled her and played with her heart, for his benefits.

Kavya fell on her knees, crying as she felt her world has crashed in front of her eyes.

Armaan's harsh words still continue to stab her heart, 'Kavya, though we are legally married but I can't consider you as my wife. This relation, this marriage means nothing to me.'

She cries louder in pain as her emotions towards her marriage, towards her new life, towards her husband, with whom she dream of a happy married life were killed and she couldn't even stop it.

Her painful sobs echoes in the empty room, but no one comes to console her.

In one moment, her fairy tale life is spoiled and every happiness is snatched away from her hands by her husband.
