Saanjh: Bound by love and revenge

Into the storm

As the wedding rituals were completed, Siya and Rudra started leaving the mansion...

Mr. and Mrs. Mehta wiped away fake tears, acting like they were giving their beloved daughter away.
Rudra - Cry all you want now, Mehtas. This is just the start. You'll be begging for mercy when I'm done with your precious daughter.
Rudra thought, smirking to himself as he led Siya towards the car.

Siya glanced back at her step-parents, her mind racing.
Siya - Look at them, pretending like they didn't push me into this hell. I hope they choke on those fake tears.
She swallowed her fear, knowing there was no escape.

*Time Skip - In Rudra's Car*

Rudra glanced at Siya, noticing her teary eyes.
Rudra - Aww, you've already started crying, Siya? But you'll have to cry much more.
Siya bit her lip, trying to hold back her sobs, but the fear was too much. The tears kept flowing.
Rudra's voice turned cold - If you cry one more time, I swear I'll throw you out of this car.
Siya immediately stopped, her heart pounding in fear.

Suddenly, Rudra's phone rang.
Rudra's grandmother, Nalini, was on the other side.
Nalini - You still haven't reached the mansion, Rudra?
Rudra - No, I want to spend some time with my wife.
He smirked, faking shyness in his tone.
Nalini - But the rituals need to be completed, Rudra.
Rudra - Alright, alright, I'll soon bring her to complete the rituals but not today.
As soon as the call ended, Rudra rolled his eyes.

*Back at Singhania Mansion*

Nalini put down the phone, turning to her husband, Bhuvan.
Nalini - What do you think? Did Rudra really marry Siya out of love, or is there something else going on?
Bhuvan shook his head.
Bhuvan - You know your grandson, Nalini. He hasn't forgotten about his parents deaths. He's only marrying her to take revenge on the Mehtas. Poor girl doesn't even know what's coming.
Nalini sighed.
Nalini - I hope he doesn't go too far. That girl looks innocent. I doubt she knows what her parents did.
Bhuvan nodded.
Bhuvan - I just hope Rudra doesn't do something he'll regret.

*At Rudra's Farmhouse*

The rain poured down hard as Rudra parked the car outside his farmhouse. Without a second glance at Siya, he stepped out and made his way inside, the rain soaking his clothes.
Siya got out, looking up at the dark sky.
Siya - How much more do I have to suffer? Can't I get even a bit of love in this life?
She dragged herself into the mansion, dripping wet.

As soon as she stepped inside, she saw Nehaal and Nivyansh lounging on the couch.
Nehaal - Oh, look who's here, our new bhabhi.
Nivyansh chuckled, exchanging glances with Nehaal.
Nivyansh - How are you, bhabhi?
Siya felt a bit of relief.
Siya - *At least someone here is nice.*
Siya thought but that relief vanished in the next second when she heard Nivyansh's sharp tone.
Nivyansh - Didn't you hear Nehaal? Answer him!
Siya stammered.
Siya - I-I'm fine.
Nehaal smirked.
Nehaal - Good. Now go and make dinner for us.
Siya's eyes widened. She was soaked from head to toe.
Siya - N-Now?
Nehaal - Obviously now. Wait, did you think Rudra married you because he loves you?
He chuckled darkly, shaking his head.
Nivyansh - You seriously thought that, didn't you? Our bhai doesn't love someone like you. Now stop wasting time and get to the kitchen.

Without saying another word, Siya hurried to the kitchen, her heart sinking even further.

*Time Skip - Siya Serves Dinner*

Siya brought out the dinner, setting the plates down in front of Nehaal and Nivyansh.
Siya - Dinner's ready.
Rudra didn't even acknowledge her presence, his eyes fixed on his phone.
Nehaal and Nivyansh took their first bites and immediately spat the food out.
Nivyansh - Eww! What is this?!, He threw the plate aside.
Nehaal - You don't even know how to cook? Did your parents not teach you anything?!
Siya just stood there, trembling as tears welled up in her eyes again.
Rudra watched the scene unfold, a smirk playing on his lips.
Rudra - Good for nothing.
Nivyansh - Go make it again. And this time, don't mess it up.
Siya wiped her tears and went back into the kitchen to start over.

*Meanwhile, Rudra, Nehaal, and Nivyansh...*

Nivyansh leaned back in his chair, turning to Rudra.
Nivyansh - Rudra bhai, are we sure about this? Torturing her like this... She seems innocent. I don't think she knows what her parents did.
Nehaal nodded.
Nehaal - Yeah, same. She looks too clueless. Maybe her parents didn't tell her everything.
Rudra's expression hardened.
Rudra - Don't fall for her act. I'm sure she knows everything. Her parents probably told her to marry me, thinking she could divorce me later and take half my property.
Rudra smirked.
Rudra - But I'm not that stupid. I changed the marriage contract. She can't divorce me unless I want it. And even if she does, she won't get a penny from me. So don't be fooled by her innocent face. She wasn't even shocked when I told her, I'll make her suffer, I'm sure she knows everything.
Nivyansh and Nehaal just nodded in agreement, though they seemed a little unsure.

*Siya Returns with Dinner...*

Siya - Imade the food again.
Nivyansh pushed his chair back, standing up.
Nivyansh - Eat it yourself. We don't want it.
Siya stood there, her hands trembling as she held the plate. Tears threatened to spill from her eyes again, but she held them back. She didn't want to waste the food, so she ate it quietly, trying not to cry.

*Later That Night - Siya Searches for a Room*

Siya wandered the large farmhouse, looking for a room to sleep in. She accidentally opened a door, stepping inside without realizing where she was.
Siya - Finally, a place to rest.
But before she could get comfortable, she heard Rudra's voice behind her.
Rudra - What the hell do you think you're doing in my room?
Siya turned, her heart pounding as she saw Rudra standing there, fresh out of the shower, wrapped in a towel.
Siya - I-I'm sorry, I didn't know it was your room.
Rudra's eyes narrowed.
Rudra - Get out.
Without another word, Siya rushed out of the room, her face burning with embarrassment.

As she walked down the hall, she heard Rudra's voice again.
Rudra - Tomorrow, wake up at 4 a.m. and make breakfast for everyone.
Siya nodded silently, but Rudra wasn't done.
Rudra - I need words, Siya.
Siya stammered.
Siya - Y-Yes.

Finally, she found an empty room, dragging her luggage inside.
Siya - How much longer do I have to endure this?
She collapsed on the bed, staring at the ceiling, wondering if she'd ever find peace in this house.
