AFTER SIX DAYS.
She was in his room...lying on floor scattering his pics on whole bed...had dressed in black saree...she heard knock on door..she wiped the tears...and correct her sarree...Arman s mother...had come...she hatred looked at her...she asked the keys of locker..she gave silently to her...and she saw him taking out her all jewllary...papers...money whatever there was kept...she asked servants to took them away...she didnot questioned ...was they worth for her??..she left...she was at least conteneted they did not throwed out her of palace...at least not asked to leave arman s room...who was only her asset...his memories...the only hope of living was her child...she had no option ...except to wait and watch what happens with her...
The next Day she got oders to resume her duties...to take care of palace...to take care of every household work...which she was doing there since had come...even their was servants she was asked to do...because it was their revenge...she never had told arman about that... samrat and arman was always unaware of evils deeds done by their other family members to gunjan...She resumed it...without having any argument...she kept silent...it had been four days she did not speaked up with anyone...last time she talked was only samrat...who had before leaving for dehli asked to take care of baby and her...and then he had left just to get away from the place where every corner had memories of that person to whom he loves like his world...
SAMRAT...he had never thought that llife would come out in such a way...he left the palace just after three days...he was heart broken...he need the support but no one was there..in dehli he was totally cut off the world...he remained in his room...keep on remembering his brother...he was totally broken with his sudden death...his world had shattered..he had no way to support himself...he tried to normal life...but nothing happnes except lonliness pain...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
AFTER SIX MONTHS...
GUNJAN.....gave birth to a baby girl...gunjan closed eyes in dismayed...how she is gona take care of a baby girl...she recalled her childhood...it was miserable...and she knew it was gona miserable for her daughter also..she had wished for baby boy...and arman had always wished for baby girl...she cried that day...her last hope was the baby...n now a girl...what she dont know about the conditions..she had no house to live...where she was living ..they need just one reason to throw her out...and obviously no one was intersted in caring a baby girl ...how unlucky a girl was...she hated her daughter...she had no reason to love her daughter...after two days she got lose from her motherly love...and embarce her daughter with all love...and feed her...she felt the contentment...she was hers...she had only this reason...she got a friend to whom she could say anything...she talked to her baby girl that night...everything she shared...from her childhood to arman s death...
SAMRAT..had asked him not to vist it when he had visited in first month...may be they had not liked interaction between samrat n gunjan...samrat had not talked much to gunjan...because when ever he tries...he always remember his brother..he always used to ask about her health at weekend and then slowly after months..as he got busy in his office work.he had left callling her..he got news about baby girl...he went to see her..he smiles after six month seeing the baby girl...gunjan stares at him...she had seen him smling after six months...that baby girl had made both of them smile n cry at same time...because she was carbon copy of arman...samrat asked gunjan to take care of baby girl and left the room...
Samrat was asked to come in SD s ROOM...

SD:Samrat listen...
SAMRAT...left the room...he felt his breaths stopped...how can anyone think that he wil gona marry his brother s love...how can he hurt his brother...he had always a respect towards gunjan..and now...life was asking such a u turn...never...he loves shilpa how wil he live without her??he shrugged his thoughts...he dont even want to think about those horribles thoughts...and fall in sleepp...
Next MORNING...
SAMRAT...got up hearing loud shouts...he was confused...and then with a fear he rushed downstairs...and saw what he had expected...his mother was throwing out gunjan...he saw her pleeding...just for a small room...just for her daughter...she begged...she was crying...she had tears...he saw the a month old baby in her arms to whom she had hugged tightly...he was unable to think how to stop and then...
SAMRAT:MOM...STOP IT PLEASE...
SM:samrat arman is no more and she had no right to stay here...
SAMRAT:and if i marry her??then u wil not throw out her na??i wil marry her...and mom...never saw again that bro left...he is always here...
SAMRAT...glances at his heartless family and then kneed down near the baby...and saw gunjan staring at him shockingly...she had widened helpess eyes...samrat could understand her shock...but he was helpless he had no other way to solve this problem...
SAMRAT:gunjan please take angel in room...
GUNJAN...stares at him...and then left taking angel...she ran in her room and closed it...she was too much fearful...she was too much sacred...marrying samrat??????she never had thought in her wild dreams...
SAMRAT:Dad i am marrying gunjan just for bro...but dad...what wil i do ??shilpa???how wil she react ??
SD:smrat dont care about it...you can keep gunjan here...and shilpa with you at dehli...gunjan dont want to marry u either...but u guys have to do it because you know your mom will never bear her..u saw today na...

SD:samrat u are not thinking about her...you want to be on roads??if yes then go back to dehli..your mom wil herself do it...
SAMRAT:okay ...i WIll Marry Gunjan...
AFTER A day...
SAMRAT and GUNJAN got MARRIED....they both were unaware what they were doing ...samrat was doing that for his late brother.. and gunjan was doing that for her daughter...at least then she wil get a shelter...she knows she was somewhere doing wrong by marrying samrat...but she was helpless...or love for daughter made her selfish...samrat knows he was not right for marrying her only for sake to solve a problem...he cant destroy her all life...she was too young too live her next life alone...but...he was helpless...or selfish coz he loves shilpa..he dont want to leave her at any cost...he was not sure about shilpa s reaction...
after marriage ...he had to left for dehli next week...he had not to face gunjan ...but...the night...she was in his room...that marriage had made just this difference that gunjan now had to live in his room...samrat had tried to go as late in room as he could so that he dont have to face gunjan but as he steepd in room...he found gunjan still awake having angel in her arms...moving here n there...trying to make her sleep...sarmat cursed the fate...as they both looked at each other...and avoid gaze...samrat got changed and lyed down on bed switching off the lamp...he was not ready to accept the reality that his brother s love was his wife now...was it so easy to change the relations?????but he had to ...later or sooner...she looks at his back in darkness...she moved away gaze...as angel slept ...gunjan moves towards the couch to lye down along angel...might be she had decided selfishly about marrying him...but she knew she wil not gona make his life a differencce with her presence...she had throwed out her all emotions the day arman had left...and now nothing she feels good or bad...next day samrat wake up and saw angle lying on couch...and bed was empty...he realized gunjan did not slept on bed...she dont want that marriage either.. he was not able to understand what was going on his life...he packed his stuff...ger freshed...and left for dehli...without meeting gunjan ...!!!!!
WAS IT SO EASY TO CHANGE YOUR FEELINGS FOR A PERSON???WILL SAMRAT COULD FACE THE REALITY??WILL HE REALIZE THE PAIN OF A GIRL TREATING LIKE THIS??WILL GUNJAN BE ABLE TO KEEP HER PROMISE TO MAKE NO DIFFERENCE IN HIS LIFE??WAS HER PRESENCE GONA BRING NO CHANGE IN HIS LIFE??MARRYING A PERSON FOR ONLY COMPROMISE OR SACRIFICE can be SO EASY ??AND WAS JUSTIFIED FOR HUSBAND WIFE RELATION??WAS MARRIAGE DOES NOT HOLD ANY IMPORTANCE??WILL IT BRING CHANGE IN SAMRAT GUNJAN S LIFE?HOW WILL SHIILPA REACT TO HIS DESCION.???WILL SHILPA GET READY TO ACCEPT GUNJAN N HER DAUGHTER IN THEIR LIFE...????OR SAMRAT HAVE TO LEAVE GUNJAN FOR SHILPA ??? IF GUNJAN WILL GET HAPPINESS IN HER LIFE EVER???
