Scene471 Amrit's wedding night
Meanwhile Amrit sitting in a dim lit corner thinking of her past. Amrit's parents were best friend with Kartar Singh. Her father was a police officer too but died in a train accident. He did not have parents and siblings and hence Amrit at age of 10 years came to stay at Kartar's house as an orphan. Kartar and his wife showered her with love like a daughter.
Amrit was sitting on the bed in tears with her ghunghat when Sudhir came in at midnight. Sudhir did not know much of Amrit's love affair with Rudra as Kartar had not told him anything or so Amrit and Kartar assumed. But in reality Sudhir had seen her secretly meeting Rudra and had a whiff of the affair. But he could not go against his father and reject her proposal as then he may lose favour with his father. And since Sudhir was just starting his career as a lawyer he did not want to risk his relationship with his father and inheritance with Ahluwaliah family. Sudhir opened her gunghat and found her in tears.
Amrit in tears: Nothinggg
Sudhir knows Amrit has been forced to marry him: Nothinggg orrr
Sudhir thinking: Orrr are you crying remembering your lover
Amrit has been adviced by Kartar to not reveal her love affair with Rudra to Sudhir and spoil the married life. So Amrit keeps quiet.
Sudhir does not consummate the marriage and its almost a year. Amrit was still going to class XI and one day Rudra who is released from jail comes to meet her. Amrit takes him to a secluded park to talk to him to tell him not to meet her ever again as she is bahu of a respected family and a wife who considers husband as God.
That night an angry Sudhir is sitting in hotel bedroom waiting for his wife to get ready and come.
Amrit comes out after bath: You did not sleep Sudhirjiii
Sudhir angry but does not show: Nooo, I was waiting for youuu
Amrit smiles: Why????????
Amrit does not understand: That I am always for all life
Sudhir: Nooo, we are just two strangers staying in a room
Amrit: Aaah Sudhirji its paininggg
Sudhir only looks at her and then lifts and takes her to the bed and moves on top of her. He has only one intention to punish her for her unfaithfulness towards him.
Sudhir does not allow her to speak and kisses her lips. Sudhir has no intention of giving pleasure to his wife he only wants to punish her by giving her pain, pain for betraying him, pain for being forced to marry her.
He forcefully claims her using all his might. Amrit has tears flowing down her face as she had no clue that a first night would be so painful. But like a dutiful Indian wife she allows Sudhir to abuse her without her will. Sudhir has no intention to stop as he wants to punish his wife badly for betraying him and thinks that Amrit is his property rather than an equal spouse. Her pain, her wish, her feelings do not matter to him not now not ever. Even if Amrit had not betrayed him and was a loyal wife Sudhir had the mentality to consider a wife as his personal property and use her as he wishes.
Amrit shocked: III III Who Sudhirji? You are mistaken. III have no loverrr
Sudhir gets wild holds her hair very tightly: Do not lie to me? I know everything about your and Rudra's relationship
Amrit cries in pain: Sudhirjiii please leave my hair, its paining
Amrit in tears: Aaahhh Nooo Sudhirji
Amrit sobbing: Babuji told me not to tell youuu
Sudhir slaps her: Do not take babuji's name you cheat. Did babuji tell you to meet Rudra after marriage? That too in parks openly after college
Sudhir orders: You will not go to any college from next year.
Amrit choking: But babujiii
Like any innocent 17 year old Indian girl she started finding fault with herself for bringing upon herself this punishment from her husband. Conservative Indian society had always taught her husbands could do anything marry 2-3 wives, beat their wives, abuse them and yet the wife must keep quiet and endure it as husband is pati parmeshwar(husband is God) and to save family honour. So no matter what he did he was God for a wife and more so for a 17 year old orphan girl without any parents and siblings to confide to about what had happened to her that night and to protect her.
Amrit gets up and goes with RPS back to the party hall.
Arohi comes out looking for her mother and finds her with RPS.
RPS leaves the spot saying: Excuse meee
Amrit: I will go in beta, your father will be waiting OK
Arohi: OK mom, I will see what happened there and come
