I dedicate this chapter to Piyali who named Gaurav-Dhara as DhaRav.

Thank you Piyali for all the amazing edits,header and the banner.

Naveen Babu-Dhara's marriage got fixed.It was to happen in 3 days.

Shivani tried to console her sister in law Dhara who was crying.
Shivani:I don't think you should do such a big sacrifice Dhara.

Dhara:I have to do it .Otherwise Nivi di will lose her husband.I know what a wife feels when she loses her husband.I don't want Nivi di to feel the pain I am undergoing now.
Shivani:I don't think Mohini aunty will be able to separate Anupam jiju and Nivi.I feel that he loves her a lot.So I am sure that Anupam jiju won't obey Mohini aunty.So you don't need to marry that old widower Dhara.
Dhara was in dilemma.
Dhara:I don't know what to do.

Shivani:Just back out from marrying that old man.
Dhara thought for a second and said:Bhabhi,can you do a favour for me?I am not allowed to go to the jail and meet Gauravji.So can you please meet him on my behalf and give him the letter I give you?
Shivani:Sure Dhara.
Dhara:Thank you Bhabhi.

Dhara was looking at Gaurav's pictures in her phone.Suddenly Gaurav came there screaming and laughing loudly.

She got startled.She turned back.She saw him laughing.
Gaurav:You got scared?
Dhara:Gauravji..you...
Suddenly he disappeared making her realize that it was her hallucination.She became upset.
Dhara:I miss you Gauravji.

Shivani visited Gaurav.Gaurav was surprised to see Shivani as they had not even talked to each other before.
Shivani:I came here to hand over the letter written by Dhara for you.

Gaurav was excited:Dhara's letter?
He took the letter from her fast.
Shivani:I need to go now.
Gaurav:Ok.Thanks for this letter.(Please ignore the bruises on his face).

Shivani:It's ok.
Shivani walked off.
Gaurav read the letter:

How are you Gauravji?Hope you are fine there though I know that life is hard there.The situation is worse here Gauravji.Nobody wants us together as everyone still considers you as a culprit.Now all are forcing me to marry Mohini aunty's brother Naveen Babu,otherwise Mohini aunty will separate Nivi di from Anupam Jiju.Tomorrow is my wedding.Please come and stop the wedding Gauravji.I don't want to marry Naveen Babu.I love only you.Please request the ones in the jail to send you out at least for a day to save your wife from the person she does not want to marry.Pleae Gauravji...I miss you.I am waiting for you.

Yours Dhara.


Reading the letter Gaurav was shocked.He was in tears.
The Sub Inspector Rajeev came there.
Gaurav:Sir...all are trying to get my wife married to an old man forcefully.Please let me go for a day Sir.After stopping the wedding I will return to this prison.I promise.
Rajeev smiled:Not just for a day..leave this jail forever Gaurav.I myself came here to say that to you.
Gaurav was stunned:Sir!
Rajeev:It was our fault that we just arrested you on the basis of fake evidence.But we realized your innocence seeing your behaviour here.So we decided to correct our mistake by doing an enquiry.We caught the real thief.The real thief had come to your wife's house.Nobody noticed it as she was none other than Mohiniji's maid who accompanies her almost everywhere.When Mohiniji's necklace got loosened and fell down she picked it up and kept in her bag.She went and sold it to the jewellery shop and got money in return.You bought the same jewellery as those low class jewellery sellers kept it for sale without even thinking how that poor lady got such a costly necklace.Unfortunately you bought it and Mohiniji mistook you for her thief.You are free from now onwards.But before that there are some formalities.You can leave tomorrow.

Gaurav was surprised and extremely happy.


Dhara was crying thinking of her upcoming wedding with Naveen Babu.Suddenly she saw Gaurav near her.
Dhara:Gauravji!
Gaurav:Dhara!
They both embraced each other crying.

Gaurav wiped her tears.

Gaurav:Don't cry Dhara.I am there with you.Right?You trust me.Right?
Dhara:I trust you more than myself.
Gaurav:Then be confident.I won't let this wedding happen.
She was relieved.Suddenly she realized that it was her imagination.
Dhara:My Gauravji will come.





Mohini's maid got arrested.
Mohini slapped her.
Mohini:I trusted you,but you cheated me.
They took away her servant.
Mohini looked at Anupam:Anupam..make sure that no one knows about our maid getting arrested.Otherwise your wife's family will know that the real culprit is our maid.
Anupam:What is wrong in that Maa?
Mohini:If they know it they will unite Dhara with Gaurav and my brother will not get Dhara.He wants to marry her very badly.Not even Nivi should know it.Understand?

Anupam became dull.
Mohini:It's good that Nivi went shopping.Otherwise she would inform everyone that Gaurav is innocent.
Anupam:But when Gaurav gets released everyone will now that.Right?

Mohini:By the time he returns Dhara will be Naveen's wife.
She smirked.
Anupam was feeling bad.


The wedding day...

Dhara was numb and lifeless.
Gaurav embraced her from behind.But Dhara did not move.

Dhara:I know that it's only my feeling Gauravji.You are not the one who is hugging me.
Suddenly she burst into tears.
Dhara:Why are you there only in my dreams Gauravji?Come back to me.

Naveen Babu was excited to sit near Dhara on the wedding mandap.She was depressed.
Naveen:I am happy that you are becoming my wife.

Dhara felt disgusted seeing how he was looking at her.
Shekhar,Sharmishta,Nivedita,Anupam,Moloy,Ronit and Shivani were feeling sad.
Suddenly Gaurav reached there along with his parents.
Gaurav:Stop it.
Dhara was surprised and happy to see Gaurav.
Gaurav:Dhara,your Gaurav has come to you.
Dhara:Gauravji!
Mohini:What are you doing here?You must have eloped from the jail.Kick this thief out.
Gaurav:This wedding can't take place as Dhara is my wife.My innocence is proved.They realized that the real thief is your maid and released me.
Dhara became very happy that Gaurav has been released from the jail on the basis of his innocence.
Mohini:Don't cook up stories.Just leave.
Gaurav:I am telling the truth.I guess even you know now that your maid is the real thief.
Mohini became irritated.She tried to behave as if she does not know anything.
Suddenly Anupam said:Yes,it is true.Our maid got arrested when only Maa and I were at home.
Shekhar,Sharmishta,Moloy and Nivedita were surprised and happy that Gaurav was not the real thief.
Moloy:Mohini,why did you hide the truth from us?For your brother and Dhara's wedding to take place?For that you tried to separate a husband from a wife?Shame on you.
Gaurav looked at Shekhar and Sharmishta:Now you also believe that I am an innocent.Right?Then can you please return my Dhara to me?
Shekhar and Sharmishta smiled emotionally.
Mohini:Did you forget what I told you?If you don't get Dhara married to my brother Nivedita's married life with Anupam ends.
Moloy,Anupam and Nivedita were shocked.
Mohini:Anupam,leave Nivedita here.We can go back home.
Shekhar,Sharmishta,Dhara,Ronit,Shivani and Nivedita got tensed.Nivedita was in tears.
Anupam:Maa..I can't believe that to satisfy your ego you even stooped to the level of spoiling your son's married life.I have never gone against you.But this time I can't listen to you.I love Nivedita and I can never leave her.
Mohini was shocked while everyone else smiled happily.
Moloy:I am proud of you Anupam.

Anupam smiled.He held Nivedita's hand.
Nivedita:I got scared Anupam.I thought...I lost you.
Anupam:How could you even think that I can leave you?I love you Nivi.I can never think of a life without you.
Mohini was shocked to see her son Anupam talking like this to Nivedita.

They embraced each other emotionally.
Moloy:Anyways the wedding mandap is ready.What about getting Gaurav and Dhara married again?
Everyone smiled.
Gaurav:Will you marry me again Dhara?
Dhara blushed:Yes Gauravji.I want to be your wife in every birth.
Gaurav-Dhara shared a romantic eye lock.
Naveen Babu left the place with disappointment.Mohini was about to follow him.Suddenly Moloy held her hand.
Moloy:You cannot change completely.But realize your mistake and try to reform yourself.Otherwise you will even lose your son.If you want your ego to win go behind Naveen.I won't stop you.But if you want to reform,stay with me.
Mohini stood near Moloy to watch Gaurav-Dhara's wedding.Moloy smiled.



 Dhara and Gaurav sat on the mandap.While Gaurav was listening to the Priest,Dhara was praying.
"God..please bless us for our second inning.Please don't let any problem come and separate us".

Paaya maine, tumhe, rab ne tumhe, Honthon pe tumhe, nag mein tumhe
Gaurav prayed n his mind:God...please let us lead a peaceful married life.

Paaya maine, tumhe, sab se tumhe, Sapna tumhe, mein tumhe

Gaurav-Dhara shared a sweet eye lock.

Tum jo aaye mein baat ban gayi Ishq mazhab, ishq meri zaat ban gayi

They exchanged garlands.
They looked at each other romantically.Paaya maine, tumhe, rab ne tumhe, Honthon pe tumhe, nag mein tumhe Paaya maine, tumhe, sab se tumhe, Sapna tumhe, mein tumhe
He held her hand and said:I promise you that I will love you and protect you till the end.I will never fail to make you happy.

Dhara:I also promise you that I will always stand by your side in whatever the situation is.I will remove your pain and fill your life with happiness.Ho tum jo aaye mein baat ban gayi Sapne teri ke, teri ke Dekhti hoon ab kayee Din hai sona aur raat ban gayi Hoo tum jo aaye mein baat ban gayi

They took seven steps around the sacred fire.

Paaya maine, tumhe, rab ne tumhe, Honthon pe tumhe, nag mein tumhe Paaya maine, tumhe, sab se tumhe, Sapna tumhe, mein tumhe

He tied the nuptial chain around her neck.After that blissful moment they looked at each other feeling complete.

Chahaton ka mazaa, mein nahin Aa loon hauslon mein kahin Sab se upar likha, hai tere naam ko Khwaishon se jude mein kahin
