Beneath the manor's Veil..

Singhanias bahu..

    Author's pov

     There were many things going around in Aryan's head , he doesn't want to lose Aisha after loosing his Neelam maa... What if she tries to commit suicide again..? So he did what he could to keep Aisha safe.

     " You won't be a burden on anyone , nobody will ever dare to call you names , nobody will throw insults at our Neelam maa.." Aryan said and got up from the floor .

    He went to the idol of Durga ma(goddess) and picked something from her feets and came back to Aisha.

    " Aisha I will take care of you from now." He forwarded his palm which had a small vermillion box.

    Aisha looked at Aryan with teary eyes but no words came out of her mouth , her lips were trembling to speak but no words left her throat.

    Aryan gave her a good minute and took a pinch of vermillion powder and filled it in Aisha's hair partition...

    Tears rolled down Aisha's eyes as Aryan took her in his warm embrace.

     Kabir got up and went to pandit Ji's wife and brought something...

    " Aryan , Aishu..." They both turned to Kabir.

    Kabir kneeled down and put the beautiful red dupatta on Aisha's head and kissed her forehead lovingly .

   " Let me fulfill my brother's duty..." Kabir said and Aisha nodded with teary eyes.

    After the small marriage ceremony in the temple Kabir and Karan hugged Aisha...

     " Aryan I know you will take good care of my sister..." Kabir said and placed Aisha's hand in Aryan's hand.

    " Aishu I failed again as a sister...I am sorry." Aditi said .

    " No Di you didn't..." Aisha hugged Aditi .

    Karan , Kabir and Aditi sent off Aryan and Aisha and left for their homes with peace that everything will be fine as Aryan and Aisha are together now...

    Aryan was driving the car, the ride was quite and soon they reached Singhania mansion.

    Aryan got down and opened the door for Aisha...

    He forwarded his hand towards Aisha which she held and got down.

    It was night already , all the family members were chatting in the living room after dinner as usual.

    Aryan stood at the huge door entrance of the mansion with Aisha...

    Advait , Jhanvi and Rishi stood up from their seats as they were facing the door way .

    Shlok and the rest looked back and stood up in shock as well .

    Shlok hurriedly went to Aryan and looked between the two with confusion and many more emotions.

    Jhanvi also came to them followed by others.

    " Dadu... She is Aisha , my wife." Aryan said and Shlok instantly smiled hearing Aisha's name but still he could not wrap his head around the thing that why did Aryan married Aisha so abruptly.

    " You are... Neelam's daughter right..?" Jhanvi asked , she has always been thoughtful and even close to her servants mostly with Neelam so she naturally knew Aisha but haven't met her in person.

     Aisha nodded and tears again rolled down her eyes after hearing her mother's name.

     Aryan wrapped his arms around Aisha.

     " The servants told Neelam fell from the stairs and passed this afternoon.." Aryan's Chachi said what the maids told her.

    " What...!!!" Jhanvi exclaimed who was unaware of the whole thing.

    " We will talk about this later , Jhanvi welcome your daughter-in-law first." Shlok said .

    Jhanvi looked at shlok , she was hesitant but could never say no to her father-in-law. The other family members tried to leave but Shlok glared at them and told them to be where they are right now.

     Aisha could feel the thick and cold air around them but didn't say anything after seeing Aryan's stone face.

    Jhanvi did aarti of both Aryan and Aisha and welcomed Aisha inside the house.

    " Aryan take bahu to your room , she needs rest." Shlok said as he could see her puffy tired eyes and Aryan nodded.

    After Aryan and Aisha left Shlok turned to his family.

   " You all have never treated Aryan well and I haven't forced y'all enough to do so but I won't tolerate this behaviour anymore , I don't know what has happened but Aisha needs family support right now... I hope she will get it." Shlok said the last part looking at Jhanvi .

    " Whatever..." Rishi rolled his eyes and left.

    " We don't have anything to bother with Aryan and that maid's daughter." Rhea said and turned to leave.

    " You shouldn't forget your roots." Shlok said but she left ignoring his words.

     Shlok looked at Advait , Arnav and Shalini...

    " Aisha maybe a maid's daughter and poor but that shouldn't bother anyone because that's our roots remember ,only if y'all taught that to your childrens...! Now Aisha is Singhanias daughter-in-law and nothing matters except this fact ."

     Shlok also left for his bedroom to rest.

    One by one everyone left for their rooms...

    Inside Aryan and Aisha's bedroom..

    Aryan took Aisha inside his room and locked the door. He made her sit on the bed and kneeled infront of her.

     Aisha looked at him with her red puffy eyes.

    " Aisha I know everything happened abruptly , I promise I will always be there for you and Neelam maa is always watching us hmm.." Aisha nodded with her moist eyes , Aryan hugged her gently and patted her head.

    " Now go and freshen up , tomorrow I will get you some clothes but for now wear mine..." He said and got up .

     Aryan fetched one of his unused pj which wasn't fitting him because of small size , finally it came into use today.

    He handed it over to Aisha...

    Aisha got fresh and wore the clothes  that Aryan gave her, those clothes were still big for her but doable for now. She came out of the bathroom and Aryan smiled lightly at her , she was looking cute in those big clothes.

     Aryan made her sit near the dressing table and wipped her hair.

    " Wait for me , I have few things to talk about..." Aryan said looking at Aisha through the mirror to which she nodded.

    Aryan grabbed a towel and went to take bath. After finishing he came out with the towel wrapped around his waist and his upper body on display.

    Aryan had a perfect lean body with 8 pack abs not heavily macho types but just perfect.

    He wore his clothes and came to Aisha who was in her deep thoughts , He took Aisha's hand making her look up at him , he took her to the open balcony where a small sofa swing with few plants were kept. He sat down on the swing with Aisha beside him , her hand was still in his hand.

    " Aisha..." He called out her name softly.
