Part One - The Beginning
"Baraat agayi..Baraat Agayi" a kid yelled and ran away.All the people sitting in her room rushed to the window to catch a glimpse of the 'Baraat' and of course the 'dulha'.
There were people dancing like crazy.Enjoying themselves to the fullest.The latest songs were being played and every one was having a gala time.The ladies searched for the car where the groom was seated and at last they found a black car decorated with flowers.They wanted to see the groom and they were trying their level best and soon their wishes were fullfilled.
They saw the groom getting out of the car and getting pulled by people to dance with him."Chal yaar Armaan dance kar" said a friend of his but Armaan was least interested.Why was he getting married in the first place.Heck he didn't remember the name of his to be wife.
"He looks normal for a change" whispered a girl and that was heard by Riddhima.She shut her eyes.Did she have to hear all this for entire life ? She saw every one busy watching the baraat.She quietly left the room and went to find her parents.
She went to their room and found her parents talking to each other.She was about to enter when she heard "Unhone paise de diya na ?" Padma asked..Shashank nodded his head happily and said "Unhone poore 1 billion diye hai Padma.Ab hum araam se jee sakange..Jo bhi paise humne Riddhima pe kharch kie hai vo saare paise hume wapas mil gaye" "Humme toh zyaada mile hai.Bhagwaan ka laakh laakh shukar hai ki hume itne saare paise mil gaye..Ab hum humari zindagi araam se jeeyenge"
Riddhima made her way back to the room.Her parents had sold her off ? They got 1 billion rupees to get married to Armaan ? They loved money for than their own daughter ? Not once did they think about her future ? How she would live with Armaan..She wanted to cry but after a few minutes she thought why should she cry over the people who didn't care about her feelings.She hated her parents.She could run away from this marriage but no she wouldn't she wouldn't stoop as low as them.
She quietly sat on the bed.No one realised she had left the room.Every one was busy in their own world to be specific seeing the groom.She didn't know what to do.Her Internship would start in a week.Would her in laws allow her to do her internship ? What if they told her not to do her internship.No,she would do her internship.Her hardwork for 5 years wouldn't go to waste.
"Chalo beta.Tumhe neeche jana hai.Vaar mala ka samay hai" she saw her aunt looking at her.The images of her dad and mom talking flashed infront of her eyes.She gave a smile to her aunt and went with her.
As she reached down.She saw every one looking at her including the media who were taking various pictures of hers.Her gaze went to Armaan who was looking at the ground.His friend nudged him and that's when she realised he was dozing off.
She wanted to shake up him and beat the hell out of him so that he could stay awake in the marriage atleast.Both of them stood on the stools kept out infront of them.
Armaan was trying hard to recollect the name of the bride."What the hell of was her name man!Chod na kya farak padta hai.Who cares what her name is." he thought.."Armaan beta ye lo ye Riddhima ko pehnao" his mom said with a extra sweet tone handing him a garland.
"Riddhima?Ab ye Riddhima kaun hai ?" he thought.He saw the bride looking at him expectantly."Ek kaam karta hu isko pehna deta hu.She's the bride any way .Jo hoga dekha jayega" Armaan took the garland and put the garland around her neck
The crowd cheered and clapped which made Armaan realise that he didn't do anything wrong and the bride's name was Riddhima."Riddhima ? Ye kaisa naam hai itna lamba ? God!" Armaan was busy thinking when he felt he was picked up by his friends.What the hell!Why were they picking me up.."Armaan thoda bend kar Riddhima has to make you wear the garland" his friend hissed.
Armaan bent a bit and felt a garland around his neck.He looked up and saw bride aka Riddhima lifted by her friends.She was busy looking down at her friends and giving them a smile.While her friends cheered for her.
Riddhima was soon brought on the ground and she made her back to the room."What ? Itni jaldi ho gayi shaadi ? We just have to exchange garlands!Amazing now I can go to.." Armaan was interupted when his family was pushing him to go ahead "Oh no!Abhi tak baaki hai.Ye shaadi kab tak chalegi.." Armaan thought sadly
Armaan sat on the chair in the mandap with the pandit chanting some mantra's.After some time he told Armaan to repeat some mantra's after him which Armaan recited after alot of difficulty.Once he recited them he let out a sigh of relief.It was so hard to say these mantras.Soon a white cloth was put in between and as that happened Riddhima descended down from the stairs.
Riddhima removed her shoes at the steps the mandap and sat on the chair.After the pandit said some more mantra's the white cloth was taken off.They could now see each other.Armaan's scarf was tied to Riddhima's saree symbolising their union.A cord was tied around their neck which protected them from all the evils
Now it was time for the pheras.They completed the 4 phera's.At the end of the 4th phera Armaan was about to start the 5th phera with Riddhima caught his hand and made him sit down.Armaan was confused he thought there were 7 pheras he had seen in films and serials.
Soon Armaan was handed the mangalsutra and was asked to tie around Riddhima's neck.As Armaan tied the mangalsutra Riddhima closed her eyes.She was now officially a Mallik not a Gupta any more.Her life now consisted of her husband and her in laws but she made her mind that she wouldn't change herself for them.It was her life and she would live the way she wanted to but being a married woman she would take care of Armaan.
As she was thinking she didn't realise when Armaan applied the sindoor on the parting of her hair and when a little sindoor dropped on her nose.It is a saying that if the sindoor is dropped on the bride's nose the groom loved the bride alot.When Riddhima thought of Armaan loving her she laughed mentally Armaan Mallik could never love her.He loved something else.Some thing that she hated.
The marriage was now complete and it was now time for the Bidaai.Shashank hugged Riddhima blessed her and so did Padma.Riddhima did not cry.Not a single tear.The pain of leaving her parents had died down when she heard the conversation between them
Armaan sat in the car ordering the driver to proceed.He rested his head on the window and dozed off.Finally he could sleep.He was so sleepy during the wedding but he had been warned by his family if he would sleep the consequences would be bad so he tried his level best to be awake and he succeded
Riddhima looked at Armaan in pure shock.She didn't expect him to talk to her but atleast look at her a smile or a hey or anything but he made it as if it was only him in the car.She felt so wierd sitting in a car where the driver was driving and the person sitting next to her dozed off!A few tears came out of eyes.She wondered how her life would be.Would she curse every single day of her life ?
They soon arrived at the Mallik Mansion which more looked like a palace.As she entered she saw there was no one to welcome her.She was the bride wasn't she ? Not a single soul to welcome her into the new life she had stepped into.Armaan had gone somewhere the minute he entered the house.This left her in cladded in a bride's wear standing alone at the enterance of the house.
A servant tapped her shoulder and told her that she would show her the room where she would live.This made Riddhima astonished.A servant was going to her room ? What was this ? Where was she brought ? Where had her parents brought her to ? A life where no one welcomed her ?
She entered 'her' room which was beautiful she had to admit that.She went to the washroom to change her dress.When she came out side she saw Armaan sitting in balcony with a whisky bottle in his hand.He was looking out and sipping his whisky.She turned her gaze away and she knew this was going to be her life.Her life with her husband being a complete drunkard
