RIYA'S PROV

I am getting ready for my wedding now. I am not at all happy that I am tying knot with a man who has promised me that he will make my life miserable. I am already in a terrible situation.

I never asked God anything in my life except for 2 thing: TO SEEK FORGIVENESS FROM MY DEAD MOTHER and TRUE LOVE AND SOULMATE, but both my wishes are incomplete today. I am going to get into a Loveless Marriage. I was just praying to him (God) to show me some way out. I don't want to be a bride today. I was praying for a last miracle to happen. Suddenly a voice came from behind. It was Sheetal Aunty.

Sheetal Aunty: Oh! So the maharani is ready to marry her prince charming????? (Note the sarcasm)

I didn't say anything. Suddenly I opened my eyes n saw myself in mirror, wearing a baby pink silk lehenga choli with floral designs and pearls hanging on border. A semitransparent dupatta in pink was bordered with same design and pearls. I was wearing a heavy jewelry set consisting of a neckless, earrings, maata-patta, bangles and a big ring. All were of white kundan and pearls. All this was Piya's which I am wearing now. It suits her not me. I looked like a joker. It feel like a double disaster. On the day of a girls wedding she should feel happy, nervous, little sad but excited, but I feel scared, terrible, bad and not at all willing to get married to him. She bought me back to reality and said.

Sheetal Aunty: I don't have the whole day to get you married. Let's go (She took me with her. She was least interested to take me with her to mandap, but if she does not then the groom side would have some doubt on her. While going towards the mandap she said) this dress looks good, but on you it loses its charm. (I didn't feel bad. I knew her for past 24 years and plus I know I don't look good in any dress.)

KABIR'S PRO

After commanding her, I went with a swift. I didn't turn back to see what was going on. I heard some footsteps coming behind me. I knew it's my parents, my dad Khamraan Zakriya, Chairman to The Zakriya Empire. He is a hardworking man but also a great father. My mom Marium Zakriya, an amazing artist (paintings) and a homemaker and a wonderful mother. My father kept his hand on my shoulder, which stopped me in mid-way to the mandap and said.

Khamraan Zakriya: I know that what happened was not nice, but give her a chance to explain son. I am very sure the girl is innocent. Look at her, do you think, she had any idea about it??? (I can't believe him. He was in support of her. I was about to yell but I controlled myself and said)

Kabir: We will talk about this later and please don't say anything to my siblings about this. If asked just say about Piya's elopement not about the letter. (He just nodded his head and came with me.)

I sat in mandap. I was least interested in marrying her, but I have to do it for the family. For her, I am having different plans. How dare she threaten My Piya???? Lots of insults, lots of pain and lots of suffering awaits you Riya.

Suddenly I saw her coming towards the mandap. She was wearing Piya's dress. I felt like hitting her hard on her irritating face. I hated her from the bottom of my heart. That dress was my selection for Piya and now this pathetic women is wearing it. Now I didn't even have the interest to complete all rituals but I had to do it, for my Piya.

RIYA'S PROV

I could feel his hate for me. The intense gaze of his was scaring me like hell. I just wanted to disappear from there. I came and sat next to him. He squished a bit when a knees touched unintentionally. Soon pandit ji started resisting the mantras for our marriage. I didn't feel anything. I was just numb. I was missing my maa and dadi today. I was just wishing them to come and stop this wedding.

After a while, father and Sheetal aunty came and did my kaniyadaan (a ritual where the parents give their daughter to her groom with a request to take care of her). Then the pandit asked us to get up and take saath phera. We did and our marriage was over. Now I was officially Mrs. RIYA KABIR ZAKRIYA and that was scary.

KABIR'S PRO

Now when the blunder of marriage was done, time for her farewell from her old house. I was least interested. I just went and sat in my car. I didn't even bother to look at my new wife. After a while, she came and my mom helped her sit in car. Soon the drive started to my house. I was least bothered of someone sitting next to me, but the pink lehenga which I had bought for Piya was hitting my eyes and more than that, this lehenga was wore by her pathetic cheap sister. I burst out on her.

Kabir: As soon as we reach my house, you are removing this and giving it to me. I hate to see someone less other than Piya in this dress and you look terrible in this beautiful lehenga. (And turned towards the window. Now I got little peace. I just wanted to say it and I did).

After a long drive of 20 minutes, we reached my house. Let me tell you about my family. You have meat my mom and dad. Now meet my siblings.

Mirza Zakriya: My Elder Brother (He handles our business in Australia. He is very sharp and wise. He has a very keen eye when it comes to judging people.)

Dr. Rihanna Zakriya: Mirza's wife and my beautiful Sis-in-law (She is a Gynecologist and practicing in Australia)

Naazninee Zakriya: My younger sister and the cutest bundle of joy. (She is studying in New York School of Fashion Designing. She is excellent in her craft and a very smart women. Mom and Dad stay in New York with her and also the head of Zakriya Empire is in New York. So I can do whatever I want with her in India)

As my parents are going to leave after a week and next day my Brother and Bhabhi.

I reached at the entrance with Riya. There was some rituals more. I was in no mood to spoil my family'smood. (That does not include her) so we did the costumes and then WELCOME TO HELL MY WIFE!!!

RIYA'S PROV

I took my small old bag filled with my belongings and went to Shanti Aunty. She was crying for me. She knew that i wont do something like that too without me saying anything. I really wished for a second that she should have been my mother. I really loved her. She took me in a tight hug and said

Shanti Aunty: Take care of yourself Riya. I am not there for you. You have to be strong. I will pray to God that he gives you strength. (I just nodded my head and she took me out till the entrance. Tears were flowing from my eyes but not because i am leaving their (my father and Sheetal Aunty) house but I m going to live in his house. I came outside their house and my mother-in-law was helping me to get in the car. (its the very first time I am sitting in a car)

It was total pin drop silence in car for a while suddenly he yelled at me.

Kabir: As soon as we reach my house, you are removing this and giving it to me. I hate to see someone less other than Piya in this dress and you look terrible in this beautiful lehenga. (I felt like crying because I was not ready for this insult so soon. I wanted to cry, but in front of him??? NO a big NO. He would again taunt me for it.)

We reached his House. It was 5 times Bigger than my father's house. i said to myself.

WELCOME TO YOUR NEW HELL RIYA
