It was 10 pm when Darshil reached home and Nandini ji was sitting on the couch with Poorva. Darshil walked towards them and sat beside Nandini ji.

How was your day beta? Nandini ji asked

Good Dadi. Darshil said

Bhai, you don't have time for us at all. It's 10 but still I would say, you have arrived early today. Poorva said

Poorva is right, sometimes I can't even have a look to you the whole day. Kab aate ho, kab jate ho, kuch pata hi nahi lagta. Nandini ji said and then Darshil kept his head on her lap and closed his eyes. Nandini ji smiled and caressed his head

I am sorry, I was busy but I will try to not repeat this mistake in future. Darshil said

It's okay beta. Nandini ji said

Happy Poorva ji? Darshil said looking at Poorva and she smiled

Very happy. Poorva said

Dadi I have something important to talk to you. Darshil said and sat down straight

Yes go ahead. Nandini ji said

Well, I know..... I have always been ignoring your opinion about marriage and wife but.... Darshil said and paused for a moment

But?? Nandini ji asked curiously

I want to marry someone. Darshil said

What!! Really????? Nandini ji asked happily and Poorva was very happy

Yes, I like..... No, I love a girl and I want to marry her as soon as possible. Darshil said

I am so happy for you..... O god, my wish is finally granted. I can't wait to see her. Nandini ji said happily

Me too. Finally, I will be able to see my bhabhi. Poorva said in excited tone

What is her name? Do you have any picture of her? Nandini ji asked

Yes.... I have a picture of hers, and her name is Aarvi Rathod. Darshil said and showed them Aarvi's picture

Wow bhai, she is so beautiful. I already love her. Poorva said and Darshil smiled

She looks so pure and beautiful, when will I meet her? Nandini ji asked

Very soon but I want to marry her as soon as possible. I have promised her that I will marry her in this month only. Darshil said

But this month will end in next 10 days. Poorva said

Yes, that's what I am saying. Darshil said

As your wish, I will talk to the pandit ji. Nandini ji said

Yeah sure. I should get a shower now. Darshil said and walked in his room

Dadi, I am so happy. Poorva said and hugged Nandini ji.

Aarvi was lying on her bed . Siya was also sitting with Aarvi when Anjali ji came there. As she saw band aid on Aarvi's forehead, she was a bit scared

Aarvi, what happened to you? Anjali ji asked

Nothing serious maa. Some boys had a fight in the cafeteria of her college, so she got a bit hurt. But now she is fine, I have checked up on her. Siya said

Are you sure? Your father is returning tomorrow morning, he will be really concerned when he will see this. Anjali ji said

Yes maa, I am fine now. Don't worry. Aarvi said

Okay, take rest. I am sending soup for you. Siya, make sure she drink it. Anjali ji said

Yes sure. Siya said with a smile

Then Anjali ji left.

Why didn't you sait the truth to Maa? Aarvi asked

She was already stressed. I didn't wanted to make her more stressed especially when Papa is not here. Siya said

Yeah you are right..... But is it really necessary to talk to Papa about him tomorrow? Aarvi asked

Yes Aarvi..... He has challenged you marry you in next 10 days. Last time when he challenged you about Yash, he gave the proof of his words. He can cross all his limits to do what he want. And I have researched on him. He is the greatest businessman of Asia, he can do anything. Moreover, some websites are showing some weird information about him. Siya said

What weird? Aarvi asked

That he has some connection with Russian Mafia gang. Siya said and Aarvi was completely shocked

What!!!! M-a-f-i-a???? O my god, he is really dangerous. Aarvi said

Yes he is, but the Mafia news is not confirmed yet. Don't worry, I will not let him marry or take you. Siya said and caresses Aarvi's head.

It was 10 am in the morning when Aarvi and Siya walked to the living room where Vivek ji was already sitting.

As soon as he saw Aarvi, he was a bit worried.

Aarvi, what happened beta? Vivek ji asked in concerned and Aarvi hugged him.

Papa, Aarvi needs our help. Siya said

What help Siya? Anjali ji asked

Actually, maa..... I lied to you yesterday. Aarvi got hurt as a boy pushed her towards the pillar. And the fight in the college took place due to Aarvi. 2 boys were teasing Aarvi and one of them pushed her. Siya said

What!!! Why didn't you tell me that before? I will talk to the dean. Those boys needs to be restricted. Vivek ji said

No Papa, they already have got their punishment in the worst manner ever. We want ro talk to you about something else. Siya said

What? Vivek ji asked

Someone wants to marry Aarvi but she hates him and he has said that he will marry her within 10 days. Siya said

What nonsence..... Can you tell me everything clearly Aarvi? Who is that man? Vivek ji asked

That's me..... Darshil said and entered the living room. He was listening to all the conversation going on from behind them. As Vivek ji saw him, he was completely shocked and speechless for a moment. Then Darshil walked towards him and touched his feet. Aarvi and Siya were constantly looking at him.

Darshil Rajvanshi??? Vivek ji asked

Yes.... It's nice to know that someone in your house know who I am. Darshil said while looking at Aarvi who was stunned by his actions. She didn't expected him to be here.

Everyone knows you in the buisness world. Nice to meet you but.... Vivek ji said

But?  Hmm.... Mr. Rathod, I want to marry your daughter Aarvi. I really love her and I assure you to keep her happy in every way I can. Darshil said

Aarvi, Siya, Anjali ji and Vivek ji were completely speechless for a moment

But I am not going to let my sister marry you. Siya said

Siya, let me make this clear, I will make her mine in anyway I can. Mr. Rathod, what do you say? Darshil asked

My father will always say no for a monster like you. Aarvi said

Darshil's gaze shifted to Aarvi and he smiled for a moment.

Can we talk in private Mr. Rathod? Darshil asked and Vivek ji nodded. Then Vivek ji took him to his study room and closed the door

Mr. Rajvanshi, you are a great person, great businessman, richest person. But my daughter don't like this relationship so I can't accept this. Vivek ji said

Darshil placed his hand on Vivek ji's shoulder.

Mr. Rathod, I assure you that Aarvi have to marry me, whether she likes it or not. I don't care if I have to force you and her to make her mine. But I would still prefer  you to agree as soon as possible or face my other side. Darshil said

Mr. Rajvanshi, don't threaten me. I am not afraid of you when it comes to my daughter. Vivek ji said

So you want me to force you and your family? "Kyuki shadi to hokar rahegi, chahe isme aapki beti aur aapki marzi shamil ho ya na ho". Darshil said

Should I consider this a threat? Vivek ji asked

Whatever you want..... And what's the problem if I want to marry your daughter? I am rich, successful, handsome and I will love her. Darshil said

Because she is still young for marriage. Moreover, she don't like you. Vivek ji said

She is 22 which is a legal age for marriage and as far as concerned with her likes.... So I would say that likes and dislikes keep on changing. She will start liking me once we get married. Darshil said

She is clearly said no. I can't force her, so I am rejecting this proposal. Vivek ji said

Chuckling, Darshil exuded a sense of self-assuredness.

There's no smart move in refusal. You know what I am, my power and authority. I have the power to ruin your business and life in a matter of days. I can do whatever I please. If you continue to decline, I'll ensure that your existence becomes a living hell. Darshil said in a soft, yet authoritative and calm, almost mesmerizing voice.

He stared at your father with an enigmatic, piercing gaze.

Mr. Rajvanshi, it doesn't suit you to threaten people this way, it may damage your image in society. Vivek ji said in anger

I don't care about it when the matter is related to Aarvi. Darshil said

"Aapse to koi bhi shaadi krne ko taiyar ho jayega, to fir Aarvi hi kyu?" Vivek ji asked

"Kyuki Aarvi se mai shaadi krna chahta hu, kyuki vo Aarvi hai, bas isliye" Darshil said

I don't know what you mean but still, I won't let you marry her. I am against this. Vivek ji said

Okay then, let me take another step. I know a big secret of yours. Darshil said

Secret? Vivek ji asked

Yes, it is related to Aarvi and her property. Do you understand now? Darshil said

Vivek ji was shocked on this statement and his forehead was sweating. Darshil smirks and gave him a glass of water

How do you know? Vivek ji asked

Drink it.... It's not a big deal for me to dig out these information. I can tell about this to Aarvi also, I think she don't know yet. Darshil said

No.... Don't talk on this matter. Don't force me this way, my daughter is going to hate me if I make her marry you. Vivek ji said

I don't care, I want her to be mine. Think about it, you have 4 days left to think, after that..... I will marry her forcefully through the gunpoint. Darshil said and walked out of the study room and saw that Aarvi, Siya and Anjali ji was standing in the living room.

He walked towards Aarvi and looked at her band aid.

Are you okay now? Darshil asked

Why should I tell you? Aarvi said in a innocent tone and Darshil chuckles

Still mad at me? It means you are okay, don't worry.... I will be back soon and this time I will take you with me. Darshil said and looked at Anjali ji.

"Tab tak meri hone wali biwi ka khayal rakhiyega, ise takleef hui to mujhe gussa aa jayega, aur aap log mera gussa jhel nahi payenge". Darshil said and looked at Aarvi who was looking at him in a mixed emotion of anger and fear.

He smiled at her and then walked out of the house.

Vivek ji arrives there in few moments after he left.

Papa, What happened? You rejected his proposal, right? Aarvi asked

Yes beta, I rejected his proposal but..... Vivek ji paused and was thinking about something

But what? Anjali ji asked

He has threatened me that if I don't say yes, he will ruin me and my business. Vivek ji said

It's alright Papa, these are just his false threats and nothing else. Siya said

Siya, you still don't know him, Darshil Rajvanshi is one of the most powerful person of this country, he can do anything. He can do anything. Vivek ji said and Aarvi was thinking about everything he did till now. She now understood that she can't take his threats for granted.

But we can't sacrifice Aarvi. Siya said

Yes, I will fight till the end. Vivek ji said and then Aarvi went back to her room.

She was roaming around the room, she was really stressed and scared.

He threatened my dad?? What if dad agrees for this marriage? No.... I can't spend my whole life with such a scary monster. I can't do it. Aarvi said and was wiped her tears

She knew what can give her peace right now, she was finding something to read but all the books she bought was finished, so she walked to the study table and looked at the books that Darshil sent her. She picks up one of them and sit on the bed. As she was slowly reading the pages, she was feeling better as her mind was inthe world of fantasy now.

On the other side, Vivek ji was sitting in his room and was completely lost in his thoughts. After sometime, Anjali ji arrived there.

What happened? Are you still stressed about that Rajvanshi? Anjali ji asked

No.... Right now, I am stressed about Aarvi. What if she comes to know the truth? Vivek ji said and Anjali ji was surprised by his expressions

How will she find out? Who will tell her? Anjali ji asked

Darshil Rajvanshi. He knows the truth about Aarvi's property. Vivek ji said

What!!!! No, this can't be done. If Aarvi will find out the truth, we will be destroyed. What if we let him marry Aarvi? Anjali ji asked

No, Aarvi don't want this, we can't force her. Vivek ji said

So can you let her find out the truth? Anjali ji asked

That's even worse. Vivek ji said

If Darshil Rajvanshi marries her, she will live a life of a queen then why is she rejecting her? Anjali ji said

Anjali..... Stop thinking about money all the time. She is just 22, and if she don't like him, maybe he is not good for her. I can't let this happen. Vivek ji said

Okay..... Then why don't we marry her to some one else? We still have 4 days for this to happen. Anjali ji said

What? But with whom? Vivek ji asked

I know a boy, you know my best friend Anita..... I was thinking about her son Ravi. He is educated and is running his own buisness and Aarvi know him and they have met several times. Anjali ji said

But wont it be too soon? Vivek ji said

If Aarvi will be engaged or married to someone else, Darshil will not run after her. I think this is the only option left. Anjali ji said

Okay, we need to talk to Aarvi about it. And what if she says no? Vivek ji asked

We have to make her understand.... Either Ravi or Darshil. Anjali ji said

Okay...... You talk to your friend and after that I will talk to Aarvi. Vivek ji said

No need to talk to Anita, she called me yesterday only to ask on this topic only. She said Ravi likes Aarvi and wants to marry her. Let's talk to Aarvi. Anjali ji said with a smile

Okay. It's good then. Vivek ji said

After sometimes Vivek ji and Anjali ji went to Aarvi's room. As she saw them together, she knew that they have to talk about Darshil. They both sat on the couch.

Aarvi, we need to talk to you about something. Anjali ji said

Yes maa, go ahead. Aarvi said

Aarvi we want you to marry. Vivek ji said and Aarvi was shocked

Marry?? To Darshil? Aarvi asked

No..... to Ravi. Anjali ji said

But how canI marry someone right now? I am still young for marriage. Siya is my elder sister so she should marry first. Aarvi said

Yes beta, but according to the situation, if you don't want to marry Darshil, then you have to marry someone else. Once, you will marry someone else, he will stop running after you. Vivek ji said

Darshil has given us 4 days to think about your marriage with him, so we should use this time to get oit of this situation. Anjali ji said

Aarvi was really confused.

But...... I don't want to marry anyone. Aarvi said

But Darshil is forcing us. We don't have any other option. Vivek ji said

Think about it, you know Ravi, he is a good guy and your friend. So you will be happy with him. Anjali ji said

Aarvi thaught for a long time about it.

Okay..... I will marry Ravi. Aarvi said

Really?? Okay, we should make the arrangements for your engagement soon. Anjali ji said and hugged Aarvi

Vivek Ji softly caresses Aarvi's head and blessed her and then they both went out of the room. Aarvi closed the door behind and then she fell on her knees and burst into tears. She cried as hard as she could.

You ruined my life Darshil..... But whatever happenes, I will never let you win.....I hate you.  Aarvi screamed and cried for some time and fell asleep.

It was around 7 pm when she was sitting on her study table, working on her laptop when she got a call. As she looked at the contact ID, the number was saved as "Mine".

Who is it? Aarvi said and picked up the call.

Hello..... Aarvi said

Your voice is so beautiful just like you. Darshil on the side of call said and Aarvi was surprised again

You?? Aarvi said

Come outside without informing anyone, I am waiting for you outside. Darshil said

Outside?? Aarvi said and stood up

There is no need to be afraid of anyone. If uncle says something, take my name, he will let you come. Darshil said

What nonsense!!! Aarvi said and looked out of the window and saw Darshil's car.

You have just 5 minutes, If you will not come within 5 minutes, then I will come inside myself. I am waiting. Darshil said and hung up the call.

Aarvi was really scared now, she didn't wanted to go out but was afraid of his threats.

After 5 minutes, she saw Darshil got out of the car.

O god..... He is really coming. Aarvi said and ran out of the room. She looked around the living room if some one is there to stop her. She quietly sneak out of the house.

As she emerges out of the house, Darshil stopped walking and looked at her. He again felt the same feeling of extreme love and affection.

Their eyes met for few moments and Darshil couldn't break the eye contact. His eyes were filled with affection whereas Aarvi's eyes were filled with fear.

What do you want? Aarvi asked

Darshil sighs and opened the door of passenger seat of his car.

Get in. Darshil said and Aarvi looked scared and nervous.

She walked towards the car and then sat in the car. Then Darshil closed the door and got in the car and drove to a resturant.
