Chapter 1
Abhira slightly pressed her head sitting in the study of Poddar Mansion.She took a huge breath,this house felt nothing like the house she shared with her mother Akshara in Delhi.That house was homely filled with lots of love of her mother...Even though she had lost her father when she was very young that had never deterred her mother,she had provided her with every comfort in the world....Maybe because she had not accepted Poddars as her family she didnt feel any comfort in the house....
Abhira's mind traced back to her wedding with Armaan.It had just been a month..After her mother had passed Abhira though independent enough to live alone,she had lived with her mumma's bade papa.Abhira despised the man.He had left Akshara alone when she had needed it...Armaan and she had met at a common friend's wedding in Delhi 6 months back...& Kaveri had approached Manish with wedding proposal for Abhira with her grandson Armaan.Her husband was a politician,MLA educated with law belonging to the age old Marwadi family...Poddars were extremely old money,their roots going back to royals of Udaipur....Manish had obviously been tempted since he too was in debt in business & on top of that they owned a chain of law firms spread all over the country.....Abhira on the day of her wedding had found out that this had been a business transaction for Manish..Abhira was angry and so were Poddar Family...However Kaveri had loved Abhira since the first time she had seen her and thats how she had became Mrs Abhira Armaan Poddar.She had made it clear to Armaan that she loved nobody more than her career...
Somebody put a medicine in front of her at the study,when she raised her head she saw Armaan standing there...
Armaan (giving her the medicine)-Le lo davai.And maybe stop working for sometime....You need to sleep.
Abhira (taking the medicine)-I didnt realize ki tum kab aaye....
Armaan (chuckling slightly)-Tum kisi khayalo mai thi....
Unknown to Abhira she stayed up until Armaan came,a routine which had unknowingly set up between the couple.Armaan glanced at sleeping Abhira,removing the strand from her face carefully.He knew Abhira never wanted to get married but she was caught in the middle because of Manish.But he couldn't take his eyes away from her since the first time he had seen her at the wedding...He was a very patient man and he knew that there was something in the past which made Abhira averse to relationships and he was very willing to wait for his wife....Armaan took his pillow and comforter and slept on the couch...
When Abhira woke up in the morning she saw Armaan sleeping on the couch and felt a pang of guilt in her heart.He slept there so she didnt feel uncomfortable...Abhira glanced at their bed,it was huge bed certainly so large that both of them can sleep comfortably...She first decided to freshen up and than talk to Armaan...Armaan woke up and noticed Abhira missing..and than heard the sound of shower.....When Abhira came out of the shower wearing her formals it felt like he had been knocked over by something...She looked gorgeous.She noticed Armaan looking at her through mirror.She put her hair dryer down...
Abhira (calling him out)-Armaan mujhe kuch baat karni hai tumse.
Armaan (nodding)-Batao kya huva ?
Abhira (hesitatingly)-Armaan tumhe couch par sone ki koi zaroorat nahi hai.Look the bed is big enough aur tum aur me koi chte bacche nahi hai.We are responsible adults and we can certainly share a bed.
Abhira went away to the kitchen after talking to Armaan.Armaan gave a slight smile thinking of this absolutely silly girl.Abhira went in the kitchen to help Manisha chachi who smiled widely seeing Abhira....Abhira made coffee for herself and than reluctantly for Armaan.But suddenly she realized that she had forgotten her mangalsutra in the room.She knew for Kaveri this was a rule,magalsutra a must..Abhira excused herself and went to her room and soon as she entered the room she turned around immediately shrieking a bit.Armaan chuckled seeing his wife shriek like this....
Abhira could feel Armaan near her neck,his breath she could feel his breath.
Abhira (angrily)-You could have closed the door properly Armaan.Tum akele nahi rehte hu aab idhar..Tumhare room mai aane jaana wala koi aur bhi hai...
Armaan (smirking)-You could have knocked right ? Aur ye sirf mera kamra nahi hai Abhira.Its ours.
Abhira again turned again and this time she didnt turn around seeing Armaan in just a towel....
Abhira (shrugging the topic aside)-Ye sab chodo,tumne kadi kyu nahi lagai.
Armaan (nodding)-No actually come back on the topic.Abhira ek mahina ho chuka hai hamari shaadi ko.I understand that this marriage was not your choice,neither was being my wife your choice but we are married...I am your husband and everything that is mine is yours including this family.....
Abhira (asking)-Why did you agree to marry me Armaan ? Uss transaction se tumhe kya faida tha..? Ya phir aapne kisi faiyde ke liye
Armaan (coming near her)-Aisi ghatiya baat please kbahi doobara mere saamne mat karna...Tum mujhe pasand thi isiliye maine tumse shaadi ki Abhira.I am a very patient man Abhira and I will wait for you to accept this marriage.My wife is not a professional transaction.... (holding her chin and making her look at him)-But dont take my patience as anything else Abhira.Hamari shaadi ho chuki hai,har rivaz se aur har kayde se....I am giving you as much time as you want par mere liye ye shaadi ko poori razamandi hai....
Abhira escaped downstairs taking her magalsutra with her.Armaan had never been this straightforward with her before.She had automatically assumed that Armaan would be involved in some deal with Manish for this wedding however this was a very different picture....Later she sat down to have breakfast next to Armaan who was ready to go to his work with Kaveri while Abhira was extremely busy that day with the trials.It was a very important one....
Abhira left the house with her case files however she again felt irritated seeing the security but she had enough fill of Armaan for now....Abhira waited for her assistant in the court area while going through her files for the day....Abhira owned her own firm named Legal Eagle.For a young age she was extremely successful for her age.She had her office in posh area of Udaipur....Abhira put her points in front of Judge.It was a custody case and the father was trying to take away the son because the mother was career oriented....Abhira hated chauvinist men who held women in lower standards....The case was adjourned to later date frustrating Abhira to no end...
When Abhira reached home she was in a angry mood...She took a long hot shower.This was the part of the system she hated the most.The wait.She was very possessive and protective about her career because of the man who had ruined her mother's life....She had learnt her lesson from Akshara's life...
While here Armaan sat in a secluded cabin in middle of nowhere...He had tasked his assistant to a particular task....Soon somebody knocked at the door and Armaan smirked.....He signaled his assistant to get him in....Soon a couple of security guards got the man in....Armaan smirked seeing Manish in front of him...Armaan smirked seeing Manish's state....But Manish didnt deserve his mercy...Manish was begging infront of Armaan but Armaan could only see Abhira's emotional eyes on their wedding day...All because of this man...
Armaan (angrily)-Aapne ABhira ka galat istemal kiya...All because you had a debt and wanted to encash on Poddars.Nobody encashes on Poddars GoenkaMr GOenka that's your biggest mistake.....Abhira ko kya gile hai aapse woh toh mujhe nahi pata....But aapne Poddar family me ghusne ki koshish ki and uske liye aapko saza zaroor milegi....
(looking at his guards)- You do know what to do.....
Armaan left soon after...Manish had to be punished so that he would not try and get into Poddar family again and Abhira's hurt....Those hurt eyes haunted him but something told him that Manish has disappointed Abhira or maybe even her mother before all this as well.....When he reached home he saw Abhira sleeping holding a photograph close to her chest....Armaan slowly removed that photo careful that it would not hurt Abhira....The photo belonged to Abhira's mother and he was stunned seeing the woman-she was Akshara Goenka,his mentor in law school....Abhira was his mentor's daughter but that meant that Akshara was dead....He carefully put the photo in the drawer near the bed....
Armaan later that night was in the patio talking with his assistant regarding the upcoming session..His assistant immediately agreed to the plans and assured Armaan that everything would be done in the manner he wanted.Armaan asked his assistant to come over to the house next day.....Only a selected few had access to Poddar Mansion...The security was stringent.He knew Abhira hated security-but she was MLA's wife,certain security did go with her...
Abhira here who had been trying to sleep was still thinking as to how to accept the man,this marriage,this life to which she had not agreed....
