</font></font><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3">Arnav's car stopped outside an old Lucknowi home in a
crowded street of Lucknow. The residents of the house were aware of his
arrival. He knocked on the rusting door and it was opened by a hefty woman. She
gave him a huge smile which was not returned. He entered the house as if he
owned it already. Shashi Gupta and
Garima Gupta were waiting for him in the courtyard ready to greet him. </font><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3"></font>
<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3">"Please sit" Shashi invited.</font>
<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3"></font>
<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3">"No. I am not here to sit. I want to marry your daughter"</font>
<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3"></font>
<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3">"Yes we are aware of that. Why don't you sit down, have some
tea and meet our daughter?" Garima suggested.</font><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3"></font>
<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3">"No. I don't want to meet her"</font>
<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3"></font>
<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3">"Then sorry Mr. Raizada we cannot get our daughter married
to a man like you" Shashi said firmly not liking the man standing before him at
all.</font><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3"></font>
<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3">"Think Mr. Gupta" Arnav removed his shades "Your shop has
been shut from the past two months, your house is already mortgaged with a
heavy sum of money which is reducing rapidly day by day. You have two more young
daughters to be married. If I marry your daughter, your shop will be re opened
and I will pay the loan for this house. If this is not sufficient, I will give
you Rs. 10 lac. I will wait for you outside Lucknow court tomorrow at 2. Come with
two witnesses." Arnav put his shades back, dropped his visiting card on the
table and left without waiting for their response.</font><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3"></font>
<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3"></font>
<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3">Arnav was waiting for the Guptas outside the court in his
car. It was 5 minutes to 2 when he saw Shashi Gupta with his family of 6, i.e.
his wife, his sister and his three daughters walking towards the court. He got
out of the car, making sure that they had seen him, he walked up the stairs of the
court. They entered the Registrar's office signed the required papers. Aman and
Sunita signed on behalf of Arnav while Garima and Shashi signed for Khushi. After
the 'marriage', Arnav went straight to his SUV. Shashi led his daughter to the
SUV and made her sit in the back seat while Aman sat on the front. Sunita gave
a black bag to Shashi containing the cash and papers for his shop and house. And
the car sped away.</font><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3"></font>
<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3">*Flash Back*</font>
<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3">"Mr. Raizada" Shashi
spoke in the phone.</font><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3">
</font><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3">"Yes"</font>
<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3">
</font><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3">"I am ready to marry
my daughter to you"</font><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3">
</font><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3">"Good. I have one
condition"</font><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3">
</font><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3">"What?"</font>
<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3">
</font><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3">"You will cut off all
the ties with her. She will never come to your home and you will never come to
ours. No contact over the phone"</font><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3">
</font><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3">"Why?"</font>
<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3">
</font><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3">"You are not in a
position to question. Do you accept?"</font><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3">
</font><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3">After a pause of ten
seconds the response came "Yes"</font><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3"></font>
<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3">The destruction had begun</font>.
