ENJOY THE CHAPTER 🌷

---------------------------------------------------

Inside the elaborately draped wedding mandap the air hung thick with scent of incense and whispered mantras

Ayansh and rudra sat side by side their expression readable as the priest chants filled the space

" please call the brides " the priest voice resonate a gentle command cutting through the low hum of prayers

Geeta ji with a serene nod rose and exited with dev vihaan and aryan trailing behind her

Moment later ayesha and kritika appeared at the mandap their faces obscured by the delicate fold of their veil, so no one could see them ayansh glanced sideways at ayesha and noticed her hands trembling

He moved a little closer and whispered in her ear " i'm not going to eat you, stop trembling "

At ayansh voice a shiver ran through her she immediately turned towards him but the veil hid his face her hand stopped trembling

Kritika sat next to rudra tears continuously falling from her eyes some drops fell on rudra's hand he looked towards her but said nothing

Nitya ji and dhruv ji looked at each other with a hint of worry then turned their attention to the wedding all the wedding rituals were completed smoothly

" now put the vermilion in the brides hair parting " the priest instructed

Ayansh and rudra each took a little vermilion on a coin, ayansh put vermilion in ayesha's parting as rudra put vermilion on Kritika's a little bit fell on both ayesha and kritika's noses

" now put the mangalsutra " the priest said

Ayansh took the mangalsutra and tied it around ayesha's neck as he tied it his finger bruised her neck making her flinched slightly he also felt something strange something he had never felt before

Rudra put the mangalsutra on kritika, seeing the mangalsutra kritika's eyes filled with even more tears

" the marriage is completed now both of you take blessing from all the elders " the priest announced

They stepped down from the mandap and take blessings from all the elders

Then piyush ji came to ayansh " my daughter is very innocent and naive please take care of her " he said and ayansh simply nodded

Pratap ji come to rudra and said " please take care of my daughter rudra beta "

" i will take care of her more than my own life " rudra said with a slight smile which he quickly hid

Pratap ji then approached dhruv ji and nitya ji joining his hand " please forgive us " he pleaded

" why are you apologizing this isn't your fault at all please don't embarrass us " dhruv ji said hugging him

" my kriti is naive if she makes any mistakes please forgive her and please take care of her " pratap ji request

" don't worry now she is our daughter and we will take care of her " nitya ji said, smiling

Everyone bid farewell to ayesha ayansh and rudra kritika

Ayansh and ayesha got into one car and rudra and kritika got into another
They all headed towards singhania mansion

IN AYANSH AND AYESHA'S CAR

Ayesha was sobbing quietly her body shaking ayansh's face showed no expressions he found her. Crying irritating he took a handkerchief from his pocket and give it to her

" don't cry " he said

She was a little startled by his voice she took the handkerchief and wiped her tears after that neither of them said anything

IN RUDRA AND KRITIKA'S CAR

rudra was staring intently at her who sat veiled beside him neither of them spoke she pulled her veil down a little more and turned towards the window feeling his gaze on her

Soon both cars stopped outside singhania mansion ayansh and rudra got out of their cars then went to the other side to open the door

Rudra offered his hand to kritika but she didn't take it and got out herself, ayesha tried to get out of the car but struggled because of her heavy lengha seeing her struggle ayansh rolled his eyes and offered his hand she saw his hand from under her veil and a little hesitantly took it as she held his hand he felt something but he ignored it she then got out of the car

They all reached the gate of mansion nitya ji and priya ji came there smiling and placed a rice urn ( kalash ) in front of ayesha and another in front of kritika

" now you both gently push the urn with your foot and then step into this alta thal and come inside " priya ji explained

Ayesha and kritika gently pushed the urn with their foot then stepped into the alta thal leaving footprints as they walked forward they both entered and everyone watched them smiling they still had their veil on

" maa how mang rituals are left " rudra asked

" what bhai can't you wait have a little patience " manvi teased

" shut up idiot " rudra reported

" see bhai can't even wait 2 min now " ruhaan exclaimed

" oh quiet everyone come on quickly only one more ritual is left " nitya ji said

Now ayansh and ayesha, rudra and kritika sat facing each others between them was a large bowl with milk and rose Patel's

" look you don't have to do anything much " manvi said " just find the ring "

" but whoever finds the ring first will be the winner and your partner will become your gulam " shivansh said with a smirk " you know na ' joru ka gulam '

Ayansh and rudra both rolled their eyes

" so now I'll drop this ring into the bowl and whoever win will be the champion alright " shivansh announced

" i'm on bhabhi's team " ruhaan manvi and shivansh said together

" and I'm also on my daughters team " dhruv ji and ashok ji added together

Ayansh and rudra looked at all of them as if they had been completely betrayed

" maa and choti maa we can at least expect something from you right " rudra asked hopefully

" no my son don't expect anything we are also with our daughters " nitya ji said

" okay then I'll show you all, I'll win " rudra mumbled which kritika overheard

Hearing about winning ayesha and kritika both immediately got ready as shivansh dropped the ring into the bowl ayesha and kritika both quickly put their hands in and found the rings, everyone shocked by their speed

Ayansh and rudra stared at ayesha and kritika without blinking ayansh quickly hid his surprised expression

" wow bhabhi you found that ring at the bullet train speed " shivansh said clapping in disbelief it's a good thing i was on your team "

" wow bhabhi's won now brother's will be jour ka gulam " ruhaan shouted excitedly

" th-this is cheating i hadn't even put my hand in yet " rudra complained to nitya ji like a child

" well that's your fault then you should have been quicker " nitya ji retorted

" both brother's have made fools of themselves " ruhaan said

All the rituals were finished

" didi I'll take kritika to rudra's room you take ayesha to ayansh's room " priya ji said nitya ji nodded and left with ayesha

Ayansh and rudra were looking at shivansh ruhaan and manvi who stood in front of them with outstretch palms

" ab tum sub ne apne apne haath q faliya hua hai bheek mango ki tarah " rudra asked

" aye bheek manga Kisko keh rhe hai aap zara sambhal ke manvi said " chalo paise nikalo "

" money for what, if i may ask " ayansh asked, his voice calm but dangerous

" uh....uh...bhai give us the nek or else i won't let u go into the room " manvi said to ayansh, a little scared

" i don't even want to go in there "
ayansh muttered under his breath " i'm going to my study room and rudra shivansh you two come too "

" bhai my wife must be waiting let me go, we can talk tomorrow about wherever you want to discuss " rudra pleaded, a little shyly ayansh looked at him in disbelief

" bhot himmat aa gyi tumhare andar to rudra " ayansh said, gritted his teeth

" hehehe bhai " rudra gave a sheepish smile to ayansh, scratching back of his neck

" shut up, both of you be in my study room in 10 min quickly " ayansh commanded then left

" what bhai, my wife is waiting for me " rudra grumbled

" bhai are you giving the nek or not ? Give us the nek or I'll lock your room and throw away the key " manvi threatened rudra

Rudra looked at her with wide, horrified eyes

" ooh my dearest sister how much nek do you want speak up ask for whatever you wish " rudra said his voice suddenly very sweet

" ab aaye n line pr dekh to zeher ke bajiye muh se shed tapkane laga " ruhaan said, slightly smirking

" bhai not much just five......." Manvi began

" five thousand is that what you want " rudra asked, taking out money from his wallet

" no bhai, five crore " manvi corrected him

" 5 crore, do you even look like someone worth five crore " rudra scoffed

" ruhaan bhai give me the lock and key then " manvi said

" aye aye my sweet sister i was just saying that your face is worth even more than that " rudra quickly said mentally crying, his voice dripping with forced sweetness

" her take my card, live your life " rudra said and was about to leave

" bhai where, the study room isn't that way it's this way come on quickly otherwise ayansh bhai will hang both of us " shivansh said

" but my wife........"

" are bhai forget your wife for a bit and focus on your brother it's just a short while and then you'll be with bhabhi " shivansh said teasing rudra

both of them then want towards the study room

They both entered the study room a place filled with some books files and countless other items

Ayansh was casually reclined in the chair the moment his eyes landed on rudra a smirk played on his lips

" so you finally married kritika " ayansh started, his tone carrying a hint of amusement

Shivansh utterly confused looked back and forth between rudra and ayansh
" what are you saying bhai, i don't understand anything who is kritika " he asked, his voice laced with bewilderment

" rudra can tell you that " ayansh replied simply

" tell me bhai please " shivansh pleaded with rudra

Rudra offered a slight smirk in response

FLASHBACK

it was the day when ayansh discovered that both his and rudra's wedding were to take place under the same mandap

As ayansh headed from the living room to his study, rudra entered the space ayansh quietly settled into his chair and rudra took the one opposite him

" who is shrishti " ayansh asked calmly, his gaze steady

" shrishti is the one I'm going to marry " rudra replied

" rudra i just want the truth will you tell me or should i fint out myself " ayansh voice grew slightly stern

Rudra looked at ayansh and smirked causing ayansh to raise an eyebrow

" shrishti is the sister of the girl i love " rudra admitted

" then why are u marrying shrishti " ayansh pressed

" if i told Kritika i love her and want to marry her she'd literally strangle me bhai " rudra confessed, a touch of fear in his voice

Ayansh's smirk widened " so what's the plan "

Rudra leaned back, a devilish smile gracing his lips " kidnapping shrishti on the wedding day and trust me she'll kidnap herself "

" and why would she do that " ayansh questioned

" bcs she loves a guy named shivam and she's not happy about this wedding either " rudra explained

" how did you find all this out " ayansh asked

" just yesterday bhai that shivam works at our company i saw him and shrishti, and shivam told me everything i also told them i love kritika and explained the whole plan and guess what that girl is agreed " rudra recounted

" whatever you're doing be careful chote " ayansh advised

" haa bhai " rudra affirmed

PRESENT

" hey maa mata ji " shivansh cried out dramatically covering his ears with his hands " aap dono ne mere naak ke niche se itna bara kand kar diya or mujhe batiya bhi nahi kya yhi hota hai bhaiyo ka pyar "

" bcs we knew if we told you you'd definitely mess something up " rudra teased him

" this just prove, you two don't love me " shivansh whined putting on a hurt expression

Ayansh hit him on his head " quiet you drama queen "

Rudra laughed and shiv pouting at ayansh eventually broke into a smile and hugged them both

" but bhai don't you think you wronged Kritika bhabhi what if she finds out " shivansh asked, his tone turning serious

" I'll make sure she never finds out " rudra promised " and yes i did wrong but I'll make everything right "

" but bhai aapko Kritika bhabhi se pyar kab hua or unke bare main itna sub aapne kaise jana " shivansh asked

" jis din main usse phli baar college main dekha tab hi " rudra said, smiling

" or jaise tune ayesha bhabhi ke bare main pata kiya waise hi " rudra added smirking

" what tumne kya kaha rudra kon ayesha " ayansh asked, raising an eyebrow

As ayansh posed the question both shivansh and rudra stared at him in utter bewilderment their mouths hanging open in shock

" bhai aapko sach main nahi pta ayesha kon hai " shivansh asked

" no " ayansh replied, his voice response only adding to the astonishment

" bhai ayesha wo jisse aapki shadi hui hai are kisi ko apni biwi ka naam kaise nhi pta yrr " Shivansh exclaimed dramatically

" ayesha " ayansh whispered the name evoking a stranger feeling within him his heart skipped a beat, as he processed the reality of his situation

Rudra couldn't help but think to himself " itna kaise gye gujre ho sakte hai bhai " he shook his head

Ayansh gaze turned intense as he asked shivansh " or tune kya pta kiya hai "

" nothing bhai " shivansh stammered his voice barely above a whisper

" umm bhai aap planning plotting karte karte thak nahi gye ho kya jao na bhabhi aapka wait kar rahi hogi " shivansh said to rudra " wife ko wait nahi karate bhai "

" are haa I'm going to my room bye " rudra said and left

" bhai mujhe bhi nind aa rahi hai bye good night and sleep tight " Shivansh said to ayansh with that shivansh quickly made his escape

Ayansh face abruptly turned serious and he headed towards his room
