In the morning,

Riya woke up from her sleep and looked all over the room but no one was there. She remembered memories of last night. Raj told her that he could not love her because he Loved Disha only. He also told her that he only married her for her family and also as Disha told him to do. "Riya, Riya" Riya's aunt started to call from outside of the room. Riya looked at the wall clock, it was already 10 AM. "Coming" Riya replied. "Your mother-in-law is waiting for you, come fast" Riya's aunt said and left.

Riya freshened up and wore a saree and went downstairs. "Here you are my girl" Riya's aunty said and gave her a kiss. "Where is Raj?We need to complete rituals", Mahima Shergill said. Everyone in the room looked at Riya. "He is not... I mean he is not in the room, and I don't know, but he told me he has... He has.... " Riya was saying in a trembling voice. But cut off in the middle by her aunt. Riya's aunt said "Raj is not with you, he was not in the room yesterday, where is he..? "

"He must be somewhere in the resort, let us find.. " Sekhar and Sunny said. "No, No, No" Riya's sister said "what Mahima Shergill asked.. " I went for a morning walk in the resort where Raj jija is not there.. " Riya's sister answered. "Oh my god! It means Raj is with Disha", Riya's aunt yelled. "It can't be, " Mahima Shergill said. "I am sure that he is with her, if not then where was Disha? " Riya's aunt said. "She must be working somewhere else," Sekhar answered. "No, she is not, let me give a chance to prove, come behind me. " Riya's aunt said and started to walk towards Dusha's room. Everyone follows her silently.



"Disha, bitch" Riya's aunt yelled as she saw Disha sleeping peacefully on Raj's lap.  Narrator's Pov.

"Keep your voice down, " Raj said in a steady but low voice. "WHY?" Riya's aunt yelled at him.. He completely ignored her and looked at his mother and said"Do you have the same question ?". "Yes she has." Riya's aunt answered again. "Shut your mouth , I am not interested to talk with you," Raj answered angrily." Why do I need to listen to your words? Your mother is asking you the same question" Riya's aunt asked again. "I think you need to listen and you know the cause," Raj replied angrily. Everybody could see anger on his face. No one had the strength to make a noise . "Mom, let's go outside in the hall. We can discuss it there. " Raj said. "Why ?? Wake up that fucking bitch...." Riya's aunt was saying but cut off by Raj's angry voice. "Before saying a word about her, just remember once who she is," Raj said. "Haha I know who she is and who I am . She is a small actress and ex wife of you and my Riya is now your wife and I am now like your mother in law" Riya's Aunt said and laughed. Raj again started to laugh slowly and said " Oh really !! You are nothing to me and She is my everything. " . Raj stopped . " What do.. Y..ou..." Riya's aunt was saying but cut off by Mahima Shergill and she said "Let's discuss the matter outside in the hall. I don't want to hea a word from anyone.". Everyone in the room looked at each other and then went to the hall. Raj and Mahima Shergill also followed them .

Everyone reached the hall. "Mom , we can discuss the matter personally, not like this." Raj said slowly ."No Raj, Mrs Kapoor wanted to know everything and already she started to gossip about Disha relating to the matter. So explain it now." Mahima Shergill said and patted his shoulder. "Raj is going to say the truth, everyone please pay attention because I don't want to hear any gossips about it" Mahima Shergill said loudly and Raj started to say"I don't want to explain myself for yesterday but I am going to explain first time as the matter is related to Disha. Disha is my everything. But the situation made me marry Riya so I had no wish to stay in a room with Riya last night as I have some personal reasons. " Raj stooped a little and took a deep breath and said " As I promised Disha that I will not go to a bar late at night so I went to her room. At that time everyone was already there but she was not in her room as She is arranging today's ritual's important arrangements. She came to the room and was surprised to see me there. She many times told me to go back to Riya but I declined and ignoring her words I slept on her bed and she also ignored me and sat on the couch . It was Disha so she didn't even try to get closer to me. After that I slept . When I woke up I saw Disha was sleeping and had a high fever. I didn't wake her up, just took her to bed and gave medicine and water to her . That is the reason we slept beside each other. I have nothing more to say. Does anyone have a question? " Raj stopped and roamed eyes at everyone . Raj's eyes reached Riya and he again asked "Any question?". Riya looked down . "Okay then I am leaving, " Raj said. "I have , Did you two intimated yesterday or before the marriage date ? I asked because I heard some noise from a room before your marriage date." Riya's aunt asked seriously but when she saw that everyone was looking at her she laughed and said "Joking.." . "Enough aunty, please stop now. I think you need to leave now. " Riya said loudly for the first time. Everyone can notice the tears on her cheeks. "My girl, I am just doing everything for you." Riya's aunt said. "AHa. I think you can leave as there are no rituals left for the marriage . I will tell Rajat to book 3 tickets for you, your husband and your daughter. It's been many days." Raj said ."What ?? Why ??" Riya's aunt exclaimed. "I am just doing as Riya said. Mom , I am leaving as I have some work to do, " Raj said and left. "I think everything is cleared now. No need to discuss the matter more . I don't want Disha to be stressed by all the gossip. So pls don't create gossip about the matter. Please go own rooms and own works" Mahima Shergill said . "What is happening here?" Disha's voice came . Disha entered the hall and looked at Mahima Shergill. "Nothing important , just discussing work for the reception. " Mahima Shergill answered. "Oh okay . " Disha answered. "Now you go back to your room.I know you have a high fever. Go . " Mahima Shergill said."Mom, I am okay now. " Disha answered. "Acting, I will not..." Riya's aunt was cut off by Mahima Shergill's words " Mrs Kapoor, Please go and check arrangements once. And everyone let's go .Disha , go. Take rest " . "Okay mom." Disha answered and Mahima Shergill kissed her forehead and left. Everyone left one by one. Within a minute there were Disha and Riya left in the hall.
