Scene starts at the temple,
Lakshmi and Rishi stood at the Mandir with vermala in each other's hand.
Pandit jii: Var vadhu ek dusre ko varmala pehnaye.
Rishi made Lakshmi wear the flower garland. Lakshmi also did the same that too with a fake smile on her face.
Pandit jii: Ab var vadhu peheron ke liye khade ho jaae.
The pandit jii tied the gatbandhan of Rishi and Lakshmi.

Soon Rishi Lakshmi finished taking rounds around the sacred fire.
Pandit jii: Ab var vadhu ki maang mein sindoor bhare.
Rishi smiled and applied vermilion on the hairline of Lakshmi.

Pandit jii: Vivah sampann hua....aaj se aap dono pati patni hue.
Lakshmi smiled a fake one but Rishi smiled a genuine smile.

Lakshmi(in mind): Aakhir kar ho hi gayi humari shaadi. Ab main iss Rishi ko finally chod sakti hoon.
Lakshmi and Rishi took the blessings of the pandit who got them married.
Rishi: Lakshmi ab..........
Suddenly Lakshmi's phone started ringing. She picked it up in hurry.
Lakshmi(on call)(with fake tears): Nahi......aisa nahi kar sakte aap log. Please......no!
Rishi: Kya hua Lakshmi?
Lakshmi sat down on the floor crying. However those tears were fake but Rishi having a heart of gold thought it to be genuine and tried to console Lakshmi.
Lakshmi(with crocodile tears): Humne loan liya tha lekin business loss mein chal raha hain isiliye hum chuka nahi paaye loan. Ab vo humara ghar sanction kar rahe hain. Ab hum kya kare?
Rishi(in mind): Mere naam par jo kuch bhi hain vo Lakshmi ke naam par transfer karwa deta hoon.
Rishi: Lakshmi...mere naam par jitna bhi paisa hain....main vo tumhare naam par transfer karwa deta hoon. Isse tumhari problem solve ho jaaegi.
Lakshmi: Thank you Rishi........
Rishi: Arrey ismein thank you kya? Pati hoon main tumhara.
Lakshmi smiled a fake smile and then handed over the property papers to Rishi. Rishi signed them and Lakshmi was leaving but Rishi was feeling something wiered.

Rishi saw Lakshmi leaving but his heart was telling to stop her for once

Rishi saw Lakshmi leaving but his heart was telling to stop her for once.
Rishi: Lakshmi!
Lakshmi turned around and smiled.
Lakshmi(with a smile): Main jaldi laut aaungi Rishi.......promise.
Rishi smiled hearing this.

While Lakshmi was going....she stumbled and fell down from the stairs.

LAKSHMI!!!!!!!

Rishi woke up panicking. He was sweating all over even though the air conditioner was on 17°C.

Rishi turned on the lights of his room and drank a glass of water which was kept on the side table of his bed.

Rishi's POV(in mind)
I hate you Lakshmi Bajwa.....I hate you to the core.
Rishi's POV ends.

Rishi checked the time. It was 4 a.m. in the morning. Rishi knew that he was not going to get a peaceful sleep so he thought to prepare a cup of coffee for himself. He came down and saw someone in the kitchen preparing something.

He came to the kitchen and found Lakshmi there.
Rishi: Tum kya kar rahi ho yaha?
Lakshmi: Rishi vo main...........vo.....
Rishi: KYA KAR RAHI HO?!
Lakshmi: Vo main sabke liye nashta banane waali thi.....isiliye.....
Rishi: Aur kisne bola tumhe yeh sab karne ko? Mehmaan ho...mehmaan bann kar raho.....samjhi na? Get out.......
Lakshmi: Par Rishi.....
Rishi: GET OUT!!!!
Lakshmi: Nahi jaaungi.....
Rishi gripped Lakshmi's arms tightly and pinned her to the wall.
Lakshmi(teary eyed): Rishi chodo......mujhe dard ho raha hain.
Rishi(tightening his grip): Dard toh hona hi chahiye........because that's the point. Tumne sirf dusron ko dard diya hain lekin kabhi khud dard mehsoos nahi kiya hain. Isiliye tum itni ziddi ho...hain na? Kyunki tumhare liye sirf tum matter karti ho...tumhari zidd matter karti hain koi aur nahi. Seriously........maine tumhare jaisi itni matlabi ladki aaj tak nahi dekhi. Kyun kar rahi ho yeh sab? Rishab aur uski family ko fasane ke liye....hai na?
Lakshmi(teary eyed): Rishi....tum mujhe galat samajh rahe ho...aisa kuch bhi nahi hain.
Rishi: Toh fir kaisa hain?
Lakshmi(teary eyed): Rishi main yaha....kisi ko bhi fasane nahi aayi hoon. Main bas......
Rishi: Main toh bas kya? Haan?
Lakshmi: Main.......
"Yeh kya ho raha hain yaha?"asked someone before Lakshmi could speak more. Rishi detached himself from Lakshmi. The woman was revealed to be Rishab's sister.
Rishab's sister: Bhaiya.....aap aur Lakshmi yaha kya kar rahe hain?
Lakshmi wiped her tears and then spoke.
Lakshmi: Actually aunty ne bola tha na ki unhe mere haathon ka khana khana hain? Toh usi ki preparation kar rahi thi. Aur Rishi bhi aa gaya toh hum dono bas baatein kar rahe the. We were introducing ourselves.
Rishab's sister: Ooo.....waise Lakshmi...kya tum mere liye nimboo paani banaogi? Please?
Lakshmi: Haan sure........
Rishab's sister: Thanks......main jogging ke liye jaa rahi hoon. Bye bhaiya...bye Lakshmi.
Saying this Rishab's sister left.

Lakshmi continued her preparation and soon she started cooking as well. Rishi left to his room without taking the coffee which he thought to prepare but didn't.

Scene shifts to Rishi's room,

Rishi's POV(in mind)
KYUN KYUN KYUN!??? KYUN AAYI HO TUM MERE PAAS LAKSHMI FIRSE? AB KYA CHAHIYE TUMHE? MUJHSE MERA SAB KUCH CHEEN LIYA TUMNE. AB AUR KYA CHAHIYE TUMHE? Maine bohot mushkil se...bohot mushkil se apne aap ko sambhalna seekha hain aur abhi bhi seekh raha hoon toh tum kyun aayi ho yaha firse?
Rishi's POV ends.
