The boy has held both hands tightly and imprisoned her so well that Jhankar cannot free herself from his captivity, even if she wants to. She begins to scrutinize his face intently, having recognized it from numerous newspaper articles. It doesn't take long to recognize him and realize that the situation is not at all straightforward. HE IS AKSHANT DHANRAJ.

However, she is unable to understand what they are doing here or what they are trying to say. Her brother has run away with a girl. This is very shocking news for her because, to date, she doesn't even know that her brother likes anyone. There has never been a secret between the two siblings. He always enjoys sharing everything with her, but he has never confessed his feelings about any girl. The boy increases his grip on her wrists, and while bending slightly towards her, he looks into her eyes and says to her

“Where the hell is your bastard brother?”

Jhankar, who does not know anything, is not able to understand what reply she gave to him; she only knows that because of these people, her parents are very injured right now, so she immediately moves her eyes away from him and starts looking at her father, who is continuously coughing and blood is coming out of his mouth, but Akshant holds her jaw and turns her towards himself and tells her.

"Your brother fled with my would-be bride, and he must have told you where he had gone... If you want your safety, then tell us as soon as possible where he is; nothing will happen to anyone here..... Come on, open your little mouth.”

Jhankar understands very well from his words that the girl who was supposed to be married to Akshant has run away from her marriage, but she is still very upset about why the girl’s name is being involved with her brother, and she does not want to think anything wrong about her brother. She is already very angry seeing the condition of her parents, due to which she immediately lifts her foot and hits him hard on his knee, frees both her hands, punches him in the face, and shouts loudly and says,.

"If your bride has run away, then what does my brother or my family have to do with it? If you want to ask anything, if you want to do anything, then go and find that girl. Why are you torturing my family like this?”

This was the first time that someone raised a hand on Akshant, and that too when he had no idea that this slim-looking girl could harm him in any way. He had held her lightly without using his strength, hoping to scare her, but the girl immediately took advantage of his loose grip and punched him, causing his anger to reach new heights. He immediately regained control of the girl, pulled her hair tightly, turned her face towards him, and spoke in a very dangerous way.

"Your family is being tortured because Sonakshi ran away with your brother, so when she ran away with your brother, then your family will be tortured because he made a mockery of us in front of the whole world and took the bride away.”

Sonakshi's father, Viren, who is extremely angry, wants to find Sonakshi at any cost, and in return, even if he has to kill 5–6 people, he is willing to do that. In anger, he picks up a statue lying nearby and starts raising it in the air to hit it hard towards Raghunath. Jhankar, who suddenly looks at her father, seeing all this, pushes Akshant away from her and makes him fall far away. Jhankar rushes forward, forcefully pushing Viren, causing him to fall a short distance away and sustain injuries. Akshant immediately regains his composure and looks at Jhankar, who sits beside her father and tries to handle him. Upon witnessing her father's condition, she immediately turns to Akshant and informs him.

"If your bride has run away, then it is your fault that you are not worthy of her staying with you. She must have known very well that you are not worthy of her at all; that is why she ran away."

Upon hearing this, Akshant becomes extremely angry, approaches her, and forces her to stand in front of him by fisting her hair in a very tight grip. While looking into her eyes, he asked her in anger.

"What have you just said?"

Jhankar is never one to be scared of anyone, and the person who is standing in front of her is the one who makes her parents suffer, she does not want to remain silent at all, even if he kills her. She is so angry that she has no control over her words.

"What can't you hear at once? Perhaps she left you because you weren't worthy of her or of staying with her.... Who wants to live a life with a devil... That's why she ran away from this.... Definitely, she would have thought running away would be better than marrying you, or else she would have chosen to die."

Viren, who has already stood up, angrily approaches her, raises his hand in the air, pulls her, and is about to slap her when Akshant's loud voice echoes through the air.

SHUT UPPPPP

His voice was so loud that even Jhankar got scared for a moment upon hearing his loud voice and started looking at him with wide eyes. With his gaze fixed on him, Viren began speaking to him because he already understood that he was in trouble.

"Son, you don't need to worry at all. I know what everyone is talking about, but I assure you that I will find Sonakshi by any means, and after that, she is yours. With her, you can do whatever you want. So don't worry at all. Look, right now the whole hall is surrounded by big celebrities and relatives... There is already a lot of talk that the bride has run away. The honor of both families is at stake. At this time, we should not think too much. I am ready to get my younger daughter married to you right now. You just leave from here. I will deal with these people later. I have no intention of forgiving Sonakshi. I also recommend that you refrain from doing the same. If she appears in front of you, there is no need to show any leniency at all. She should get the same punishment as anyone else. We should depart immediately, as you have informed everyone that the wedding is scheduled for today, and we should focus on preparing for it.... I will call my wife to prepare a younger daughter...."

Akshant turns his eyes towards Viren and starts looking at him continuously with his red, anger-filled eyes. Viren, acutely aware of Ashank's anger, swallows his saliva and gradually lowers his gaze, fully aware of Akshant's prominence in the mafia world and the fact that no one dares to challenge him. Akshant's eyes again stop at Jhankar, who is struggling a lot to free her hair. There are a lot of tears in her eyes. She is trying her best to turn back and look at her parents, but his grip is so tight that she cannot see them at all. Akshant swiftly lifts her on his shoulder in one jerk and, while going out, tells his men.

"Catch her parents and do not let them go until I order it. Her brother has kidnapped my bride, so now his sister will take the place of the bride in the mandap.... She was not worthy of staying with me, but this girl has to stay with me—with the devil.

Upon hearing this, Chitrali and Raghunath, who were lying on the ground very stiffly, began running after him with all their might, while Jhankar attempted to beat him with her fists, but it was insignificant in comparison to his strength.

“Leave… leave… Leave you bastard...”

But Akshant had already departed from there in a blink  because the entire scene of the ceremony was still running in front of him.

PAST EVENT

Sharda smiles as she does the Aarti of Akshant and, while applying the tilak, smiles and kisses his forehead and says,.

"Today, it feels as if all the happiness in the world has come into my lap. I am extremely happy today, and I want to see you very happy."

Akshant, wearing a soft smile, embraces Sharda simply by glancing at her, and soon the wedding procession begins to depart. Akshant's eyes are repeatedly going towards Sharda, who is smiling and enjoying the wedding a lot and is looking at him smilingly every time. Akshant had given up on his mother a long time ago, and now he barely remembers her face. However, he recalls vividly that since the day he grasped the concept of motherhood, he has only viewed Sharda as his mother. Sonia was his mother, but he never felt any kind of attachment to her. However, Sharda is always willing to sacrifice his life for her, as she has completely sacrificed hers for him. She never expressed her desire to marry anyone, nor did she ever express her desire to leave him alone. Sharda's world starts with him and ends with his happiness, and both Ashok and Akshant know this very well, due to which both of them respect her more than anyone else.

Everyone soon arrives at the marriage hall, and Akshant sits in the mandap. With his silence, he is handling all the arguments that are taking place there, but he is keenly aware that the bride is taking too long to arrive. He starts looking around. He cannot see anyone from the bride's family there, but he starts listening very well to the conversations happening in the hall.

"The bride is taking so long to come... The bride will not agree to this marriage, I think...."

"They're mafia families. There must have been a deal between them. The marriage is merely a formality."

"Whatever is happening, the bride should have come by now. Neither the girl nor her father are visible..... Even Ashok is disappearing somewhere... I think there is some problem."

Akshant immediately takes out his mobile and calls his father, who is not there. As soon as Ashok gets the call, Ashok understands very well what he is going to ask him, and he cannot hide anything from his son because at this time he is standing with Viren in the bride's room, where she has written a letter saying that she is not happy with the marriage and that she was in love with her lover Vyom, who worked in her father's company for 2 years, and now she is running away from there with him. As soon as Ashok picks up his call, he tells him.

"Sonakshi has run away from here; she loves someone else."

Akshant turns his gaze to the front because he can clearly hear the conversation there. Akshant's gaze shifts towards Sharda, who is becoming increasingly upset due to their conversation, and tears are beginning to well up in her eyes. Now their voices are starting to echo a little bit louder.

"I feel that the bride has run away. Who would want to marry a mafia don? Business is for show to the world, but we all know that he is a mafia don."

"The girl is from a mafia family, and he is also a mafia member, but the most funny thing is that the whole world is scared of his name, and that girl ran away from him under his nose..... How is he a mafia don... What a joke."

"He was unable to manage the girl, and many believe that he bears the weight of the entire mafia world on his shoulders."

These conversations are going on very softly, but Sharda can hear them very well. At the same time, Akshant is also hearing that these are all the people who are very jealous of his success, but his eyes are more on Sharda, whose eyes have tears. He immediately stands up from the mandap, and by then Viren and Ashok have also reached there. Viren looks at him and tells him softly.

"Forgive me, Sonakshi has run away, but..."

He didn't give him a chance to tell the whole story because his biggest competitor in the mafia world was standing in front of him, smiling, and coming towards him. He said this to him with a mocking smile.

"It's heartbreaking that The Great Akshant Dhanraj's bride fled before he could reach the wedding mandap. Now, you claim to be walking around with the crown of the mafia world's king on your head; do you truly deserve this title? If you cannot handle your own bride, then how will you handle the entire mafia?”

Akshant immediately grabs his collar, looks angrily into his eyes, and says,.

"Whoever my bride is, you should not think about when she should be here and when she should not, because it is my wedding, so I have to think about it. You have been called here only to enjoy the wedding; you do that because the wedding will happen today only.... Because my bride is unwell and we are giving her rest, just wait for me. I am coming with her in a few hours.”

He quickly leaves the pavilion with long strides, and Ashok and Viren follow him quickly.
