But her family was planning Shivam's wedding, they didn't have enough money, so they wished that Aradhya also get married on the same day. They didn't think longer than her marriage, they were thinking that marriage at eighteen is perfect for any girl. However, their education level is also low so none can expect any higher-level thoughts from them. She fought against it, she wanted to study further and also wanted to build up her career. But no one listens to her.

They arranged her wedding with Satyam. She fought against this wedding but failed. On 20th Feb, the family feud started in the morning. She said no to the wedding. She wants to study further and wanted to achieve something in her life. Her dream was shattered with their decision.

His father was hell angry with her, Shivam tried to take the side of Aradhya but the situation turned worst. After a huge quarrel with her family, In the evening, she angrily left her home and went to the bank of the river, her favourite place. She cried hard there. The place was far from her home. She realized that it was too late. She walked fast to home. But the sunset and after a few minutes, there was only darkness. She realised that she is late and too much time has been ratified.

It was quite dark, she was afraid she started running but she collided with a man like a mountain. He was drunk, badly drunk, one bottle of the beer was in his hand. She was scared and her heartbeats' speed increased as she stepped back hesitantly. 

Yes, she collided with the wrong person. He looked at her and lost his control. He was thinking something and had murmured something but she couldn't hear or understand anything. It was quite dark so she couldn't see his face.

Abruptly, he caught her and pulled her towards him. She tried to escape He was so strong, it's unable to escape from his huge arms but she was caged in the arms of the devil. 

She was scared but the atmosphere was filled with terror. Soon the darkness was filled with her loud screaming and crying. Her begging to leave her was making the atmosphere more terrible but there was no one to listen to her.

He left her when he reached his climax. She was broken and cried hard, pleaded for leaving her. When he lifted his body, she was completely nude, she was unable to stand up. She tried to move and reached for her clothes, and ran without wearing clothes. She hides behind trees. She wears her torn clothes and covered her with a dupatta. She chose the way which didn't use by people, she ran home.

When her family looked at her, they collapsed on the floor. Then all things got worst. She lost everything in her life.

 She was cursed by her parents, so she decided to quit her life when she was saved by Samarth.

Flashback Ends...

Samarth signed the papers given by Ravi and Ravi evacuated the cabin. He again drifted in the stream of memory just a day ago...

Samarth's Flashback II

Samarth came to his farmhouse two days ago... When early in the morning he went jogging in the morning at his usual place, the back of the river, he looked at the girl, who was sitting nearby the river. First, he didn't notice, but he felt something strange, he thought, " what was she doing there in the early morning?"

This is not their first meeting. He met her many times and they don't have good chemistry though, he ran towards her, as he was reaching near her, he was observing her, her torn clothes and her sobbing sounds. He strongly felt something was wrong. He increased his speed. But before he reached, she Dived into the river.

"Aradhya... Don't..." He shouted but she was not able to listen to him. She was died from inside and before he could utter his next word, she was already in the flow of the river.

It didn't take more time, he understood everything. He jumped into the river behind her. He fetched her but she was unconscious. Make her lie on her face and press her back hard, a few glasses of water came out from her mouth. He carried her in his arms to his car, which he had parked on the main road before starting jogging. and he was jogging nearby the riverside area. He didn't observe the face of a girl, whom he placed on the back seat of the car. He was scared to hell because she was a little tigress, who always fights with him. He has not had enough courage to see that same girl in the worst condition. As much as he knows her, she never gives up easily, then how?

When he saw her, he pressed a brake hard. He was shocked, she was completely messed up. The culprit didn't show any mercy on this little soul. Samarth's anger was at its peak. He pressed the steering hard and gritted his teeth. 

"I swear I will find out the person, who has raped her and I promise Aradhya, I will not spare him," He angrily muttered and before starting his car again, he dialled someone.

He asked Ravi to investigate Aradhya and also what and how this happened to her? As he reached the hospital, he admitted her to the hospital and he got a call from Ravi.

Ravi informed that neighbour of Aradhya heard that last night something happened to her and her family told her to kill herself. The neighbours told everything that happened last night. Ravi said everything word to word. Knowing from him about the family fight and also how Aradhya was cursed for this situation by her family, he was boiling in anger. But Ravi couldn't find out the person who raped her. He asked for some time to find out about him.

As Samarth hung up the call, his hands clenched in fist balls. He wanted to crush all the family members for not supporting her in this situation. The girl lost her dignity and her own family is not supporting her to survive. 

However, they used to fight every time but that fight and this incident of her life are quite different. She needs support, care and help. He sat on the bench and thought further about what to do. It is definitive that she will not go back home and there are more chances that she will try again to quit her life. He couldn't take risks at any point. A bud of mercy rose in his heart, but he also knew that she will not take his help ever as she hates him already and she has big self-esteem. 

He thought for a long then decided to marry her because he knew very well that if he leaves her alone, she will try again to kill herself. And the other side, he was pranked by Anaya, last night. So he didn't wish to marry Anaya. So he decided quickly and ordered Ravi to visit Uttara and collect information about Aaradhya's documents. After thinking a lot, he finalized, he will marry her and will try to make her life normal.

He wants a wife for the satisfaction of his family. If he will marry Anaya, he has to give her all rights of the wife and has to love her. Here, if he will marry Aradhya, she hates him the most, so she will never love him and will never demand any wifey rights. In this way, at least he can make her life again.

Flashback II ends...

And they got married, he forcibly convinced her in this marriage, she agreed, because she didn't have any other options. She was completely forced into this marriage.

They are already wife husband now, but Samarth's mind was completely thinking about the culprit and how to get that person.
