Aditya gulped at the mere sight of his father, who was looking at him, giving him a disapproving look.

He couldn't say a word as Manohar barged inside the house, trying to figure out what was happening.

"What is going on?" He shouted.

"Hello... Mr Shekhawat," the marriage registrar spoke, giving Manohar a respectful nod.

"You?" Manohar tend to recognise the registrar, "what are you doing here?" He questioned.

"Actually, your son just got married. Congratulations," the registrar cheerfully replied.

"Married?" Manohar was shocked after listening to his words.

He looked at Aditya who was unable to face him and then his eyes fell on Miral who was looking at them cluelessly.

"Yeah!" The registrar nodded.

Manohar chuckled and looked at him.

"So? Is the wedding done?" Manohar asked.

"Yeah!" He replied.

"So, you may leave now," Manohar responded with a sarcastic smile.

The registrar looked at Manohar and somewhat understood his reaction. He gulped and nodded.

"Have a good day!"

    "My parents?" Miral asked, confused at Aditya's words."Yes, my dear wife. Your parents. Or how else would you reside with me?" Aditya winked."But baba is in the hospital. Mom wouldn't understand this situation, and everything else. Why would I do this right now?" She argued."Because that's the deal. Also, you aren't going to say them the exact reason for marriage," he chuckled."So, what am I going to say?" She questioned, looking at him entirely confused."That you married me because you love me, and you did this right now because you knew your baba would never accept this marriage," he calmly responded."Are you going to make my family hate me?" Miral straight up asked him.Aditya smirked as he held her waist and pulled her close. She bumped into his chest and looked into his dark and intense eyes."If my family hates me, why not yours? After all, we're partners now, we should be equal," he muttered in a deep voice.Aditya's words sent shivers down Miral's spine. Whatever she did

    The moment Miral shouted Aditya's name, Aditya felt shivers down his spine. He thought Miral would stammer or try to make excuses to avoid revealing the truth of their marriage to her family but she did nothing of that sort, and it somewhat shook him.He took a deep breath and entered the hall with a proud smile. As he walked, the eyes of everyone present in the house fell on him, looking at him in entire shock. No one could even seem to believe what was happening."Miral? Is this some kind of joke?" Ranveer questioned, looking at Aditya."Well, sorry to break your intuition, this isn't. I married him," Miral confidently replied, looking at Aditya.Aditya was looking at Miral, and the way she was behaving, it terrified him. She wasn't looking worried about the reaction of her family and it felt like she knew what she was doing.The next moment, Seerat grabbed Miral's wrist and pulled her to an isolated corner of the hall. She jerked Miral's hand and made her look at her."What's going

    "But Ranveer, Miral is my sister," Seerat complained after hearing Ranveer's harsh words."I know she is your sister, baby. But tell me, wouldn't you choose the right thing to do? Or would you go against everything right for the sake of your sister?" Ranveer asked in a soft tone."Mmm." Seerat went quiet. She couldn't say anything against Ranveer's words. She knew that Ranveer was a person who would never be dishonest to anyone, his righteousness was his pride. But on the other hand, she was worried that if Miral really did something wrong, what would she do then? What she would choose or how she would react?On the other hand, Miral and Aditya sat in the car. MiralMiral was silent with a straight face, she had no expressions on her and this proved to be difficult for Aditya as he couldn't decode what was going on in her mind."So, we're equal now? Right?" Aditya muttered, looking at Miral and smirking."Huh?" She looked at him."I mean, my so-called dad basically disowned me, you're

    "So you do care about me?" Miral questioned."Nope," Aditya chuckled, "if I cared about you, I wouldn't play these games with you, indirectly making you get kicked out of your house and blah blah. I can never care about you.""Then how would you explain this concern?" She retorted."You were the one who said that I am that husband who feeds off on her wife's power and income?" He questioned in a taunting tone.She glared at her."Maybe you said correct," he winked and walked out of the hall."I so wish I could break his skull and kill him," Miral grumbled in frustration as she turned around and sat on the couch.As she sat there, her eyes fell on the beer bottle kept there, she was about to pick it but at that moment, Aditya's words echoed in her head. She gulped and kept her distance from the booze."Fine! I won't drink unnecessarily until I'm holding this responsibility. I won't let any bad name hamper the image of my baba," she told herself as she picked up her phone.She immediate

    "It would destroy the Chandravanshi's," Aditya spoke in a confident tone."And what about you?" Akshita questioned.Aditya looked at Akshita, surprised by her words."I don't know what are your intentions. I have no idea about your plans, but I know that you're involved in this, whatever you will do to the Chandravanshi's, it's going to affect you as well. Correct me if I am wrong," Akshita spoke, walking towards Aditya.Aditya turned around, not looking at her younger sister anymore. "You have married Miral Chandravanshi and everyone knows she is a walking dynamite. She can burst anywhere, and a bomb would harm the others too. You're her husband, and technically speaking, the closest person to a woman is her husband, so you're going to bear the damages too," Akshita spoke."It doesn't matter," Aditya sighed.Akshita went quiet and looked at him while he turned around."It doesn't matter at all, even if it harms me, because it wouldn't harm you guys, it wouldn't harm the Shekhawat fa

    Miral looked at the beer bottle in her hand. For the first time, she was hesitant to drink alcohol. She didn't know why, but the bitter words by Aditya were echoing in her ears, and it gave a boost to her hesitance.She gulped, slowly placed the bottle on the table and sighed."No. I won't drink," she announced, surprising Naveen and Aditya too."What? Why?" Naveen questioned."I am addicted to alcohol, and the solution for this isn't drinking a pint of beer," she calmly spoke."What do you mean?" He asked."I can't continue drinking like this, I don't want to be a chronic drunkard," Miral muttered.Aditya looked at Miral, and a mild smile appeared on his lips."I have responsibilities in my head, I have to prove my worth. I have power right now, and I want to hold on to that power and so, I can't be irresponsible at any cost," Miral firmly spoke."Miral. You're thinking too much. It's nothing like that. A drink won't harm," Naveen tried to reason out."A drink might not harm, but one

    After speaking, Aditya left Miral and took a couple of steps back. Miral stayed quiet after listening to Aditya's words for a while. But then, she started laughing, looking at him dead in the eye."You know me well, Aditya Singh Shekhawat," she spoke while laughing.Aditya got confused at the sudden change of Miral's behaviour, he just looked at her and figured out what to say. "The big promise that you gave right now, you know that you don't even have to fulfil it. That's why you spoke that with such an ease," she spoke, finally stopping her laughter and turning around."And why so?" He responded."Because Miral Chandravanshi never proves anything to anyone," she confidently spoke.Now it was turn for Aditya to laugh at Miral's words. "Why do you keep forgetting that you're no more Miral Chandravanshi. You're Miral Singh Shekhawat, the lawfully wedded wife of Aditya Singh Shekhawat. And as the bloodline of Shekhawat claim, Shekhawats do have to prove themselves," he spoke, looking

    After hanging up the call, Miral went to her room and saw Aditya lying on the bed with his eyes closed.Miral looked around, and for once she thought to sleep on the couch but then she wondered that sleeping there wouldn't be comfortable and after a long and hectic day, she wanted a peaceful sleep."This means I have to sleep beside this fool," she cussed under her breath.She didn't want to share a bed with Aditya, but she was too tired to think about an alternative. Finally, she took a deep breath and lay down beside him.The bed felt comfortable and warm, and that's why it didn't take her long to fall deep asleep.The next morning, As the sunlight peered into the room through the gap in the curtains, Aditya's sleep got disrupted. He slowly rubbed his eyes and turned around.The moment he opened his eyes, he froze. Miral was sleeping beside him and was in a deep sleep. He couldn't even move his eyes away from him. He just blankly stared at her as she looked beautiful. As he conti

    Three Months Later"You're not going to tie me tonight," Aditya growled."Oh I will," Miral winked."Nope. Not happening." Aditya sounded stern in his words.Miral looked at him and let out a smirk.The moment Miral did that, Aditya pouted."We made a deal that one night you're gonna dominate in the bed, and the other night I will. But from three days, you're the one dominating," he complained like a little kid."But you do like it na," she teased him.Aditya gritted as he got out of bed and rushed towards Miral. Even before she could react, he held her by her waist and pulled her close to him. Miral immediately bumped into Aditya's chest and looked at him."Aditya, what are you doing?" She questioned."Romancing my wife," he slyly responded."We have to leave for work. You know we have an important rally today," she spoke, trying to push him away."The rally is at 10:00 am, and it's 8 in the morning now. I can romance my wife now," he teased."Adityaaa!"

    As Miral left the place, Manohar and Akshita looked at each other, surprised by whatever she had to say."Is she trying to manipulate us for her personal benefit?" Akshita questioned Manohar."No! I can say when a person is saying the truth and so, I can claim that whatever she said, she had no personal vendetta against it," Manohar responded.Akshita went quiet. Post Miral's departure, all Manohar could think was about Aditya. How he started despising him when he was a little boy and didn't even know what was happening around him. How he chose to ignore all of his son's efforts just because he didn't believe in the path of truth. Miral made him understand that not every time the path that he thinks to be true can be true. Sometimes, one has to choose the wrong path to do the right deed, and Aditya did that. The more he started to think from Aditya's point of view, the more he realised that Aditya had to suffer in life for no reason at all. And that made him feel guilty."Akshita,"

    "Few criminal records against Miral?" Seerat questioned, surprised by Ranveer's statement."Yes," Ranveer agreed.Seerat went silent for a moment. She knew what that meant and for the fact, she always knew that Ranveer would always choose his duty before anything else and her heart sank a bit."So, are you going to arrest her?" She questioned.Ranveer chuckled as if he understood Seerat's fear. He looked at her."No. Because there's more to it," he answered."What?" She was getting confused."Somehow, the cases have been altered in a manner that no matter what happens, no one can prove Miral guilty of those crimes. No matter how hard we try. So, even if we arrest Miral, we can't prove her guilty," he reasoned out.Seerat was surprised. For first, that somehow Miral couldn't be proven guilty and secondly, Ranveer was a bit too calm about this."How's that possible?" She questioned."Someone made sure that this could be made possible," he answered."Who?" Seerat was surprised."Aditya S

    "I have to put an end to this," Miral muttered, as she broke the hug after a while."What?" Aditya questioned."All of this. I have to stop thinking about Baba and that family who just cared about their own selfish needs. I have to stop it all," Miral confidently spoke."What are you going to do?" Aditya asked, surprised at her sudden change of behaviour."You wanted your revenge from Baba, right Aditya?" She questioned, looking at him.Aditya was surprised. He stared at her, not knowing what to say."Answer me, Aditya," Miral demanded.Aditya took a deep breath before looking at her and answering it. He knew this was a sensitive topic for both of them. "Miru! I love you. But I can't chose you over my mom and the justice she deserves. I want my revenge from Raghuveer. I want to destroy him," he honestly admitted.Miral did felt bad when she heard those words from Aditya, but she knew where he was coming from and she knew what he and his mom must have gone through. So even if she foun

    "I'm sorry sir, but you are not the MLA anymore. Also, you do not have any sort of political backing anymore. In fact, the chairman of the political party you were involved with earlier, has agreed for your arrest," Ranveer calmly spoke."What? How? How can that be possible? No. No. They can't do this to me. I'm a senior member of the party," Raghuveer screamed.That was the moment when Seerat entered the Chandravanshi house and witnessed the way Raghuveer was reacting. She knew about her father's arrest and she somehow wanted to convince Ranveer to stop her Baba's arrest. Her heart ached seeing Raghuveer like that, all panicked and not being able to figure out what to do. She looked at Sakshi who looked equally helpless.Seerat quickly rushed to Ranveer and held his hand. Ranveer looked at her, and he somehow felt what she tried to express with her eyes. It felt like as if she was pleading him to somehow stop Raghuveer's arrest.Raghuveer at that time saw Seerat and Ranveer and at t

    As Miral started crying in Aditya's arms, Aditya somewhat knew what might have happened there. He felt a sudden rush of anger and wanted to break the bones of Raghuveer, but seeing Miral in that condition, he stopped himself. He let her cry for as long as she wanted, he didn't console her or tried to say something to comfort her. He knew nothing in this world would be able to comfort her.After a while, Miral broke the hug and looked at Aditya. Her eyes had turned red from crying. It expressed the pain she was feeling and while holding that pain, she chuckled."I get it now, Aditya. I get it. Why you used to hate me, why you hated the entire Chandravanshi bloodline. I get it all," she muttered while faking a smile."Miral," Aditya gasped, not knowing what to say."No. No. My entire bloodline, it's just selfish. Everyone is selfish. Seerat Di... She's selfish for her love. She loved Ranveer jiju so much, that she went against Baba in a heartbeat. And now, baba! He's so selfish for his

    Miral had no idea how to react to the words that Raghuveer just said. She thought that he would react to the fact that she got married to Aditya and fell in love with him, but instead, he was more concerned about his MLA's position."What?" She spat in a state of utter shock."Yes! Give me back my MLA seat. You are a worthless girl, and you do not deserve that seat. You chose to side with the enemies, and you chose to cheat in order to have that seat. Give it back to me," Raghuveer shocked.Miral couldn't believe the way Raghuveer was reacting. She did expect him to get angry, but his anger was directed somewhere else. She looked towards Ranveer and Seerat, they looked equally shocked, and when she looked at Sakshi, her expressions clearly expressed that she knew how Raghuveer would react.And that was the moment of realisation for Miral. Every word that Aditya had said about Raghuveer, every perspective that Aditya had for him. It was all right. It was all correct, and that broke her

    The minute Miral made the announcement, Aditya and Naveen were shocked. None of them thought her to be so confident about the decisions she was making."Now, let's go, Aditya," Miral muttered as she held Aditya's hand and walked towards the car. As Miral and Aditya settled down in the car, Aditya looked at Miral. He was utterly surprised."What happened?" She asked."Are... Are you sure you're going to tell this to your baba?" Aditya asked."Hmm," she responded."Miral, you know na, your baba won't react happily to this. He would create a ruckus and his reaction would be hard on you," Aditya muttered.Miral took a deep breath."Even though we all know that Baba's reaction would be hostile toward me, but somewhere in my heart I believe that he would listen to me, he would understand me and my feelings. Maybe he won't accept us, but he won't go out of his way to hate us. Baba loves me too much, Aditya," she hopefully spoke."This is going to be a hard pill to swallow, Miral. But trust

    The way Naveen said that Miral could sense something wrong but she didn't react at that moment."You can try with whatever you have, Naveen. But, I am not marrying you," she confidently replied and walked towards her room.The moment Miral was out of the place, Sakshi looked at Naveen."Naveen. You're a good guy, but I think you should try to convince Miral's baba that you don't want to marry her," Sakshi told."What? Why?" Naveen was shocked."She's already married and she had claimed that she loves the son of Manohar Shekhawat. So there's no point, and lastly, whatever Miral has done in these few days when Raghu will get to know about it, he will throw Miral out and sever all ties with her. That's going to impact your career too as he will destroy your career too. So why would you want such a downfall to your life?" Sakshi questioned."Aunty, I love Miral. I can go to any extent for her," Naveen asserted."Love is good, Naveen but obsession isn't," Sakshi responded and walked out."
