Note: Dear readers please note that I'm not from Maharashtra. I don't know any rituals of Maharashtra. Please do forgive me if I'm not able to give you any rituals from there or do any mistake. 🙏🙏

Ruhanika's POV

I just sat on the bed with my bridal attire, and heavy jewellery as my mother, step-father, and step-sister tried to force- I mean as they tried to make me understand that marrying Rishi Rao Marathe wasn't bad for my future even though he cheated on me just the night day our wedding day.

"You should marry him beta. He is a boy and boys tends to do such things before the wedding. They just love to enjoy their bachelor life." My mother said while she patted my head.

(Child)

Exactly a boy. Boys tend to do such things but a real man would never do such things. If that boy was a man he wouldn't have cheated on me and made a joke out of me.

Right now I'm a joke. A joke everyone can laugh at. My fiance, my would-be husband cheated on me, and the whole video of his love-making session was displayed on a big screen while I and that boy sat on the altar doing our wedding ritual.  

The sound of their groans and moans was still ringing in my head.

Chiii.

I'm disgusted.

Why did he want to marry me when he was going to cheat just a few hours before our marriage? He said he loved me. This is his love and how could he come and sit near the holy fire after doing such a shameful act?

"I will not marry him," I stated. This is the first time I must have defied them as my so-called family's eyes widened and their lips parted in shock.

I used to obey my mother's every word. I used to think that if I obeyed her, she would love me just like how she loved Survi but I was wrong. They took me for granted and used me for their benefit.

"You will. I can't lose such a connection. Do you know what it means to have a connection with  The Royal Family?" My step-father retorted.

"You mean to say the money you will get from this marriage," I said while looking at the ground.

I looked up to my family with no emotions in my eyes and added.

"Do you think I don't know why both of you agreed to this marriage? I know Aadarsh Rao Marathe said he would give you fifty million (five core) if you agree to this marriage. I'm just a product you all are selling to get money."

My face turned to the left side with force as the pain started to spread into my right cheek.

Well, what do I expect from them? Love?

Nahh.

They aren't capable of loving me.

"Even if you beat me to my death, I will not marry him," I said as I slowly raised my head.

"You do know that our business is facing problems and the money that Papa (Father) will get from this marriage is the only option to save the business. We all have kept you so well in the past so you should do it to show your gratitude."

The innocent soul aka Survi said in the most sweet tone with a smile on her face. She can fool others with that mask of hers. I'm not a fool of her double faces. How can I be fooled by her face when all these years I have been a victim of her abuse?

"Would you marry a man who claims to love you, when denied his proposal his father offers money in exchange for you but at the last moment he cheats and the whole video of his cheating is displayed when you sat on the altar doing your wedding ritual?" I asked her but instead of any response, I was slapped again by my step-father.
