But when Khushi came of age, her family began to regard their intimacy as improper and forced them apart, unwittingly awakening the possessive, obsessive side of Arnav that had long remained concealed beneath his camaraderie.

Blinded by misunderstanding and anger, Arnav forces Khushi to marry him on the night of his brother and her sister's wedding. He makes it clear that they will be together for only six months and this whole thing is nothing but a contract to him - Neither will he ever accept her as his wife nor will she ever attain the status of his wife. They will be nothing but a pretense of a happily married couple. Then something happens. Something that shows Arnav that the truth is not always what we see but some times, it is something that we fail to perceive with the naked eye. And with that realization - heartbroken and guilty - Arnav sets on the path of redeeming everything he messed up. ___________ Author's note: This story has gone through a heavy editing. I was unsatisfied of the way I wrote the story - both the language and character development seemed weak to me. This is why, you can call this version the revised version of Daayre. While the main plot has remained the same, I have essentially changed few scenes completely. The characters, in my opinion, are now far more stronger and better. I hope you like this version just as much as I do. :)

People warned me about his dangerous, cunning and wicked personality. They warned me repeatedly to cut the contact with him. But I didn't took their words seriously. How stupid it was to think that I had found a real friend in him!!! How much wrong was I trusting this guy! People said that he always gets whatever he sets his eyes on. And now seems like they were right in this too. Cause he wants me and I don't know how I'm going to escape this powerful man. Was meeting him the biggest mistake of my life?
