Marriage mantras are floating in the air but they are unable to reach Siya's ears, the sound of drums falls deaf to her.

Her ears are only able to hear the awful words of all the villagers. The question on her life, her existence, her purity, and on her character are the only she is able to hear right now.

Yeah for many it will be like why is she overreacting, like why she is letting other's words affect her. Others who are totally unknown to her. Whom she will never meet again in her life.

But she is a girl who is very introverted and selfless. She don't has anything to lose except her purity. She has been very protective about herself, her character. She don't want to hear any bad words about her even when she knew that she can't be liked by everyone. She don't want to lose her impression in front of her loved ones, or you can say she don't want to lose them. Don't want to upset them.

She feel someone's hand on her hand gesturing her to getup. She look up to see the man who saved her, protected her,fought for her. Raghav was standing there asking her to getup for the pheras.

She know this man must have planned something, she is good at observing people. And for Raghav she knows that he is a type of man who will never break his promises even if it costs him his own life. And she is well aware that she can trust him in this, or maybe she is trusting him because she is around people whom she don't know and it's scared. So she trusts him because he helped her once.

She gets up slowly and they started walking around the holy fire and after every round he is promising her with a straight serious face and in whispered voice to

protect her,

respect her ,

trust her,

be with her always,

Stay loyal to her,

Fulfill every responsibility towards her and listen to his heart in her matter instead of mind,

Lastly to make her happy and to not let tears fall from her eyes .

All the time Siya's eyes are teary and as soon as he put vermilion on her head her tears comes out. When some of the vermilion falls on her nose Raghav slightly remove that and gently wipe her tears.

He remember all the event happened in the morning which tied them together for forever.

FLASHBACK

Villagers were looking at them with shock and disgusting face. Siya noticed her condition and immediately adjusted the blazer that time Raghav too notice that because of too much sweat at night and his habit of sleeping bare chested, he had removes his vest too last night after confirming that Siya was asleep.

He too immediately wore his shirt and stood up.

All the villagers started asking for their sarpanch. After sometimes sarpanch arrive and they said

"Sarpanch jii dekhiye yeh kya anarth ho raha hai yahan. Ek ladka aur ek ladki iss halat mai voh bhi itne kareeb chiiii chiii chiii...."

[Sarpanch ji, look what a disaster is taking place here. A man and a lady in this condition and that too in such a close proximity...]

"What!!.... Are you mad or what, Nothing like that happen between us. We are in this state because we were stuck in a problem and also whatever the hell we do, it has nothing to do with you huh!!?!! " Raghav said getting angry on their cheap thoughts.

"Hum bolne vale kon ka kya Matlab hai!!?? tum dono eesi chize hamre Gao mai aake Karoge tho kya hi izzat rahegi hamare Gao ki. Aur jhooth kyun bol rahe ho tum dono ko dekh ke saaf nazar aa raha hai ki 'kuch nahi' nahi bahut kuch hua hai. Sarpanch Jii aap hi kuch kare. Pichli baar ka tho yaad hi hoga kese havaldar aaye the. Aur Indono ko dekh kar to pakka hai ki yeh dono Pati Patni nai hai."
