Recap : Durga asks Sharan to marry Ishana - Sharan insults Ishana - Ishana rebukes Sharan

At midnight
Ishana's POV

Oh god! That's it. Is this a punishment for me or what? What have I ever done to deserve those words. I should have never come here in the first place. First thing tomorrow morning, I am going to talk to uncle and say that I don't want to get married to Mr.Rude.

He might get what he wants but I'll never forgive him for those words. I will make him regret them one day.

After thinking for a while I got struck and started pacing around the room.

How am I going to tell this to uncle? I should have never agreed in the first place. I need to do it without hurting him. The last time he knelt in front of me and I don't want to create such a situation again. A clean break should do but he will be so disappointed. Maybe I should just leave the house. It was never mine nor will it ever be.

I looked at both Veena and Varna who are sleeping peacefully. "I'm sorry angels but I can't think of a better thing to do. Thank you for making me feel better after I came here. All the best." I kissed their foreheads without disturbing their sleep and left the room.

Just as I was about to open the main door of the house, somebody pulled me towards the living room and switched the lights on.

I squint to adjust my eyes to the sudden light. Once I can see clearly I notice that it is Mr. Rude who has actually found me. He pushes me to the couch and starts pacing in front of me. 

"So you are trying to escape from here?" he pulls me up and holds me by my arms. Hey hello! What is this pushing and pulling? Am I some door or something? His face is so close to me now. Dangerously so. I can't find my voice when I look at his face. The entire room suddenly seems like it has been filled with his presence and I can't escape it. It has completely surrounded me.

"You were shouting and speaking whatever you want not too long ago, now where has that tongue of yours gone? Or do you want to slap me again?" he said grabbing my hand and place it on his cheek.

"Did you take an oath to not talk ever again?"
That might just be heavenly? I want to start arguing but remember the purpose of the whole thing. No need to argue when I'm leaving. Who knows the argument might just wake someone up.

"I want to leave" I said in a calm tone with as much finality as I can muster, which is a lot considering the previous discussion.

"Go to your room and sleep" he speaks each of the word clearly, like he was talking to a kid but he was way more angry than one should be when talking to one. Not that she was a kid. Well, let's not get side tracked shall we.

"No. I want to leave. I don't want to be a burden to anybody."

"Did I ask you to leave?" he asked in a normal voice which gave me the courage to speak out.

"No. But I'm leaving according to your wishes only," I added in a sickly sweet voice." If I stay here I don't know how to say no to your father moreover why it would not be good for your sisters to be in the company of a woman such as me." I couldn't resist the bitterness from seeping into my voice.

He clenches his fist and drops the facade of 'normal'. The anger he usually carries comes back into his eyes and for a second I wonder if he wants to kill me? 

I don't know how or for that matter even why, but he controls his anger.

"Go to your room. You've already promised to not leave this house until I permit you to. Or did you forget the promise?"

Right. Ah I remember it now, Mr.Rude does not need sleep at all. He's awake twenty four hours a day. Couldn't he be human in one aspect of life? Just a single mundane aspect? Like maybe sleep?

Oh shit, he does eat. Right.

With all my weird thinking going on, I must have zoned out because his words startle me, pulling me out of my stupid stupor. 

"I don't like to repeat myself again and again. Will you go to the room or should I call dad?"

Like what the hell does he even want.

"No, don't" before I can speak further he cuts my sentence off.

"Go and sleep" as I try to open my mouth,"GO" louder this time and I decide to listen to him

"One minute." Maybe he'll let me leave. Yeah, maybe pigs can fly."Don't try to leave after I sleep. I don't intend to sleep tonight and you will be under my observation tonight. Remember it." I glare at him and turn back towards my room.

Does he not even know what he wants in his life? I mean, what the hell is his problem? Does he or does he not want to get married to me? Whatever, I don't want to get married to him anymore.

Bipolar idiot.

In the morning
Ishana's POV

I'm really tired today morning. I pretended to sleep yesterday night but frankly I was so confused that I couldn't sleep. How can I find the solution when the problem keeps changing? 

First, I have to say yes to the marriage. Second I have to say no the marriage. At least there was some certainty in them so I managed to do something but now I don't even know what to do.

I'm just going to leave it on fate. Mr. Rude asked Veena and Varna to stay back home today. god knows what is going through that garbage bin of his. Any guesses? Yep there green shirt, you are absolutely right. I'm talking about his brain.

Now, I think all this not sleeping and arguing has made me mad. I don't remember being mad. Do mad people remember how they were before they become mad? I mean do they even understand that they are mad? Probably not. Wait. I'm not mad.

I keep chanting that.

I'm Not Mad...I'm Not Mad...I'm Not Mad

I saw Mr.Rude coming to my room and all other rational thoughts except anger leave my mind. In hindsight even the irrational ones do.

I glare at him but he ignores it and walks to me.

"Come to dad's room" he says without any preamble.

"What for?"

"I don't have time for this" he mumbles and holding my hand, drags me to uncle's room. I'm too tired to do anything so I let him drag me.

He knocks on the door and we wait for uncle to open the door. Uncle is surprised to see us but ushers us into the room.

"What is your decision Sharan?" he asks him once we are inside the room.

Yeah, we'd like to know that too.

"I'm READY TO MARRY HER"

My head whips around to face him so fast that I think I might have broken my neck or something. I look at him, my eyes wide and he returns it with his angry gaze.

Hello mister, I'm supposed to be angry here. I hope that my eyes deliver the message but that idiot can't understand words what will he understand my expressions.

"Are you sure Sharan?" Uncle asks trying not to get his hopes too high.

"Yes dad. I've thought about this all night. I'm ready to marry her as per your wish." I opened my mouth to say something, anything but nothing comes out of my mouth.

If he's ready to marry me, what was that stunt yesterday? I'm going to marry this bipolar, insomniac, Mr.Rude?

"Can you close your mouth soon-to-be Mrs.Sharma?" he said looking at me

I look around and see that pigs are flying. Obviously. It's my imagination or else how can Mr.Rude know how to tease?

I closed my mouth. What is he thinking? What new plan has he come up with?

I'm about to say that I don't want to get married but then I see uncle's very very happy face and my words die in my mouth. What can I even tell him?

"I'm really happy son. This is the best decision you've taken in your life. I'm sure. Wait, let me tell your sisters about this. They'll be so happy." Uncle leaves the room to call them and I turn to look at Sharan.

He walks closer to me, like he did last night.

"Are you happy now? Excited? No? What Mrs.Sharma? Sorry soon-to-be Mrs. Sharan Sharma?" Excited? Whom is he kidding?

"Why are you doing this? Its like I can't even understand you. Can you tell me what is actually happening here?"

"Don't try to understand me. You'll fall into danger if you try to. What makes you think that I'll accept you willingly? Never. What makes you think that I'll forget the slaps you gave me yesterday? This is your punishment for that mistake. Get ready to 'understand' the real Sharan. Let's see how long you will be able to tolerate me." He moved closer to me and the back of my legs hit the chair and just I'm about to fall down, he holds me by my waist.

The twins come in as our eyes lock.

"Oh bhaiyya. Already started with the romance?" Veena asked as Sharan helped me straighten.

"We didn't believe it when dad told us about it but we do believe it now" Varna said.

Varna hugs Sharan as Veena hugs me.

"Congratulations both of you. Bhaiyya you are very lucky to have our Ishudi as your wife" Veena said.

"Yes angels. I'm very lucky to have her as my wife" he said looking at me with a smile that looked suspicious close to cunning. A smirk is what that is.

I don't know what his real intention behind this marriage is but whatever it is, God please save me.

Precap : Mehendi Ceremony.

So, how is this episode? What do you think about Sharan's decision to marry Isha? Don't think of Sharan as a villain. I promise that this will not be a typical story where the wife is always humiliated. My heroine is a very strong woman and knows how to deal with rude people like Sharan. Stay tuned to see what happens next.
