HURT

IN AYANSH ROOM
------------------------

Ayesha sat on ayansh's bed, a tremor of fear running through her she was utterly overwhelmed her heart a frantic drum against her ribs

Peeking from behind the soft veil that shrouded her face her eyes nervously scanned the vast room

" this room alone could swallow four others " she thought

A silent gasp of disbelief in her mind everything was painted in grey the walls, the heavy drawing curtains even the imposing doors

Her gaze drifted first to the two silent doors on her left then to a sprawling couch nearby, large enough to comfortably seat two then her right side she noticed a truly enormous balcony just her mind began to wander the quiet click and soft cream of the door opening startled her pulling her attention sharply to the entrance

Her eyes instinctively fell on ayansh's shoes she quickly dropped her gaze her heart now pounding a furious rhythm a loud jarring slam of the door echoed  through the room followed by the heavy deliberate thud of ayansh's approaching footsteps

He reached her in an instant his fingers closing like a vice around her arms before she could even register the shock he yanked her off the bed he gave her arm a violent shake pulling her roughly against him so close she could feel the heat radiating from his body

" how are you step into this room " he snarled, his voice a low dangerous growl " by what right are you here, yes for the world's sake you are my wife but for me you are just a burden, nothing and be warned if you ever, ever try to involve yourself in my life in any way the consequences will be dire " with that he pushed her, causing her to fall

And the veil on her face falls off her head, revealing her face he turns towards her and is about to say something but his words get stuck in his throat seeing her ayansh's eyes fill with shock his heart beat a little faster and he freez in his place

Because of ayansh silence ayesha raised her gaze and also get shocked she can't believe her eyes and her heart also beats faster

He quickly masked his shock his eyes now blazing with anger he took slow deliberate steps gripping her chin and lifting it slightly

" you were so eager to marry me weren't you, now suffer this life you choose it yourself and i will make ur life worse than hell " he spat, his voice heavy with fury

He released her chin stood straight and smirked

" SHADI MUBARAK HO BIWI "

with that he walked out of the room

IN RUDRA'S ROOM
-------------------------

rudra nervously opens his room door and peeks inside

" what the hell why am i Peeking into my own and why am i so nervous " he mutters to himself

He comes inside the room and looks around but he doesn't see kritika anywhere then he come near the bed and looks towards the balcony and there he see her standing holding the railing and looking at the sky

Rudra slowly walks towards her and stands behind her his front lightly touches her back making her flinch a little but she doesn't turn around rudra leans slightly towards her and say in her ears

" humari taraf dekhiye "

Hearing his voice a shiver runs through her entire body unwilling she slowly turns towards him and stand face to face with him her eyes lowered

He puts his hands on either side of her trapping her between himself and the railing

" upar dekhiye " he say softly

And she raised her gaze and looks at rudra seeing rudra she gets a little shocked

" aap " she said, it was clear from her voice how shocked she was

" ha main " rudra says looking into her wet eyes

" shrishti di was getting married to you " she asks

" yes " he answers directly

" Sh-shrishti di got kidnapped that's why you married me, aren't you angry " she says, stuttering and tears starts to fall from her eyes

" shhhh don't cry i feel bad " rudra say wiping her tears with his thumb " and yes mom and dad told me and it's not your fault, so don't cry "

As soon as rudra says that she hugs him tightly as she does this he freeze he feels like his soul has left his body then he feels something wet on his neck which bring him back to his senses

" shrishti di where will she be how will she be " she sobbed

Rudra immediately hugs her back one hand on her waist and other on her head and says cressing her hair " nothing will happen to her i promise you, I'll bring her back safe and sound "

Hearing his words her crying subsided a little she realized that she has hugged rudra she slowly pulls away from his and wipes her tears

" sorry please forgive me " she says lowering her gaze

" sorry for what " he asked

" for hugging you " she replied

He simply smirked but hearing her next words the smirk disappears from his face and anger appears

" when di comes back you can divorce me and marry her and......"

Before she can finished her sentence he snakes an arm around her waist and pulls her close and she grabs his shoulder with both hands a small gasp escaping her lips

" don't you dare mention divorce again i will never leave you, you are my wife forever now, you are no longer kritika singh you are ' Kritika Rudra Singhania  '  understand ?  engrave this both your heart and mind " rudra declared, his voice low filled with an intense possessiveness for kritika

Hearing ' kritika rudra singhania ' from his lips a shiver ran through her body her face turned bright red which rudra noticed with a smirk, then he slightly loosend his grip

" you sleep on the bed and I'll sleep on the couch " rudra said, moving to leave

" I WILL NEVER ACCEPT YOU AS MY HUSBAND MR RUDRA SINGHANIA " Kritika retorted, angrily

" I WILL MAKE YOU ACCEPT ME AS YOUR HUSBAND MRS SINGHANIA " Rudra countered with a smirk then left the balcony

As soon as he was gone she placed a hand on her heart her heartbeat was racing she took a long shaky breath and went into the room heading straight for the closet

After changing into fresh clothes she returned to the room and saw him already stretched off on the couch she watched him notice how uncomfortable he looked sleeping on the couch but she said nothing she went to the bed lay down and fell asleep

IN AYANSH ROOM
------------------------

As soon as ayansh left the room she began to sob uncontroallaby pulling her knees to her chest, she couldn't comprehend why he had acted that way why he treated her so harshly she cried for a long time

She stood up began walked towards the closet when every word ayansh said come rushing back to her, a large tear fell from her eyes and she quickly went and lay down on the couch not knowing when she finally drifted off to sleep

MORNING
-------------

She was sleeping uncomfortabley on the couch when a knock at the door stirred her awake, her eyes fluttered open scanning the room and then the knock come again she got up from the couch and opened the door to see manvi standing there holding a thali ( tray )

" good morning bhabhi umm badi maa sent this saree and said to get ready quickly and come downstairs " manvi said with a warm smile

Ayesha returned her smile took the tray and manvi left ayesha looked at the tray took a deep breath placed it on the couch and went into the bathroom

After a refreshing shower she emerged in a bathrobe picked up the saree for the tray and quickly draped it she stood before the dressing table gazing at herself in the huge mirror

Than she took the bangles from the tary and adorned her wrist she applied moisturizer on her face a hint of bb cream kajal on her eyes and a nude shade lipstick on her lips

She removed the towel from her hair since her hair was still wet she simply left it open then she noticed the mangalsutra resting on the table, picked it up and clasped it around her neck finally she took a pinch of sindoor between her thumb and ring finger and filled her hair parting

Once fully dressed she headed downstairs and entered the kitchen where kritika was already present her back facing her so she couldn't see her face

" good morning shrishti di " she greeted softly hearing ayesha's voice kritika flustered slightly she lacked the courage to face ayesha but she turned around anyway seeing kritika ayesha was utterly shocked feeling as through the ground has vanished beneath her foot

" kr-kriti you here " ayesha stammered in shock kritika immediately hugged her and began to cry

" kriti what happened why are you crying and what are you doing here tell me what happened to you " ayesha asked her voice filled with concern

Kritika calmed her self and pulled away from the hug

" calm down stop crying and tell me what happened " ayesha urged

Kritika wiping her tears narrated everything and ayesha listened to her story in astonishment

" that's why i had to marry ru-rudra ji " she said her voice filled with sobs

" how could you do this kriti how could you take such a huge step " ayesha said, her voice raising slightly

" how could i not, you also got married for uncle's happiness didn't you so i also married to save my father's honor " kritika retorted

" but kriti...."

" please don't say anything more ayesha, papa was standing in front of me with folded hand what could i do he asked for something for the first time how could i deny him " kritika pleaded

" what can i say, i don't understand if this is what you think is right then it's right, it's happened and now we can't change it now just calm down and come here " ayesha said, hugging her, after a little while they separated

Just then nitya ji and priya ji entered seeing them ayesha and kritika bent to touch their feet but they stopped them

" oh bache in our house daughters don't touch feet they hug " nitya ji said with a smile, embracing them both

Nitya ji placed a hand on kritika's cheek and said " please forgive me beta for everything that happened "

" aunty why are why are you apologizing it's not your fault " kritika responded

" but beta please try to give this marriage a chance " nitya ji urged to, which kritika remind silent

Then nitya ji approached ayesha and stood before her " and beta you also give this marriage a chance " nitya ji said

Hearing her words ayesha looked at her

" i saw ayansh leaving the room at night " nitya ji revealed

Tears welled up in ayesha's eyes she immediately hugged her

" shhhh bache don't cry just remember that you are not weak ok and i know that only you can straighten out my stubborn son " nitya ji comforted and ayesha simply nodded

" so today is your first rasoi, don't make to much just make something sweet okay " nitya ji said

" don't worry aunty we will make all the food " ayesha assured her

" not aunty, say maa both of you understand " nitya ji instructed and they both smiled

" alright, now get started and if you need anything at all just call us and raghu ( servent ) has already taken out all the things you'll need for cooking okay " priya ji added

" so now we're leaving all the best " and with that they both left

Now only the two of them were in the kitchen

" aunty— i mean maa, what was she saying about giving the marriage a chance " kritika asked confused

" oh oh it's nothing anyways forget all that and tell me what should we make " ayesha asked, deftly changing the topic

" yeah, yaar i don't know how to make anything except chai or maggie " kritika exclaimed

" that's why we always said you should learn to cook, you can't fill your stomach just with savage lines " ayesha said, a smirk playing on her lips and kritika pouted at her

" mujhe thodi na pata tha ki aise shadi ho jayegi meri " kritika mumbled

" you know na how to cook right you make it and make my share too " kritika said innocently

" oh really and what will you do " ayesha asked crossing her arms on her chest

" I'll help of course " kritika replied rolling her eyes

" okay listen i haven't eaten since yesterday, I'm starving first make pav bhaji— it's my favorite " kritika requested

Ayesha smile and began to making the pav bhaji

" kriti, do shivi dev aryan and vihaan know that you married rudra ? " ayesha asked chopping the onions

" dev vihaan and aryan know but shivi doesn't, I'm actually scared of how she'll react " kritika admitted

" she'll turn the house upside down " ayesha said with a slight laugh and kritika also giggles

A little while later they both finished preparing all the food they had made pav bhaji, chole bhature, aloo paratha, kadhai paneer, naan, salad and for dessert kheer and cupcakes

" kaka please put all this on the dining table " ayesha instructed a Servent the walked out of the kitchen
