"You were nothing to me. All I did was to get rid off you. Did you understand? I was so tired of you " laksh roared on her leaving her stunned. Her face turned pale. She blinked her eyes twice to confirm it was truth. The man she loved had left her after using her body. He faked his love and had took Full pleasure of her body claiming to make love with her.
He slapped her father demeaning her love again.

Ragini sat on the bed, decored with Ross and petals. It was her wedding night with her new husband.  She felt sick at the thought of it. Laksh's words and deeds still haunted her. She had still not recovered from what he had done to her and her dadi had pushed her into another marriage by emotionally blackmailing her. Her father had kept quite like always not able to speak against his mother but her step mother refused to do the same even though dadi had threatened to throw her out if she intervened in the marriage. sharmishta had even tried to take swara's help but in vain because ragini herself stopped her from doing so. No she did not need swara's more favors, she knew how Laksh's new wife kavya was already troubling the maheshwaris. Swara was already dealing with troubles and she did not want to add more to her troubles. She knew Swara could have stopped the marriage but that could only spoil her relationship with her father and dadi more if not enough and Swara did not deserve it. She has already done enough damage to her sister because of a man who was not worth anything. She will not do more. She pleaded her dadi but in vain, finally having no option she complied with her dadi's wishes and got married to an unknown man with whom she had least interactions before marriage. She did not understand why he wanted to marry her, he was unmarried and came from very rich family and not only that he was captain of India's cricket team. He had girls fawning over him, even in her functions which were simple atleast from her end, she saw the envy looks everyone send her. She knew the comments like how she had caught the big fish was passed and honestly she had become detached from the comments. She had wanted to ask him to back off from this marriage but having zero communication with him, She could not do that. Now she was on his bed waiting for him to come and do whatever he wants to. She shuddered at the thought of him touching her and enjoying her body. She wondered if he will stop if she says a no. From childhood her dadi had taught her never to tell no to her husband and she never knew anything about Martial rape before she had research about it because of her college project. She was disgusted with the thought that people thought it was normal and there were no laws to criminalize it. She had tried to ask dadi about it who laughed off telling her that it was husband's right on wife and this high attitude girls named it something else and she should not become like that but it was first time ragini had thought about her life after marriage, what if she becomes victim of such thing which is seen normal in society. She comes out from trance when she sees her new husband entering the room. Her hands starts shaking in fear and her mind becomes numb when he sits on the bed. He observes her for a while and he smiles at her
" Are you going to sleep in this heavy costume or aren't you going to change? " he asks her.
" Ji... I... " she begins to speak but she did not know what to speak. This was the least of things she excepted from him.
" You can call me Nikhil, you can go change and I will clear this bed " he says to her. She nods her head silently before taking her night suit from her suitcase and went to bathroom to get herself changed. By the time she comes back, the bed was cleared and nikhil had changed into his normal dress. He looks at her with some unknown emotion which she has no interest in finding out. She decides that she will behave as much as Civil with him if he stays away from her.
" which side of the bed will you sleep
at ? " he asks her.
" Anyside of the bed is okay with me " she says to him maintaining her eye contact with him. It was truth, she was used to adjustments.
" Fine, I will be on the right side. You can take the lift side " he says and sits on the right side.
" I will be okay with the couch " she says to him.
" The bed is big enough for two people." he answers to her smiling slightly and ragini did not want to risk his temper by saying no to him. He is already letting her go without touching her in his first night but she did not know what will he do if she says a no. She sits on the left side of the bed when his hands reaches to her.
"  Ragini, you don't need to be afraid of me. I will never force you. I will give you as much as I time you need to move on from your first marriage but I need you to give me a chance and this marriage a chance " he tells her.
" I will try " she replies to him and she frees her hand from his and gives him a awkward smile before she turns and closes her eyes. She hears the sudden click of the lights off and breathes in relief. As she lay in her side of the bed as much distanced from her new husband, she thinks Atleast she has still time to get herself adjusted and unlike she thought he seemed like decent person. She dozzes off tired with everything.
