Shehnaaz was only girl child in their family with one elder brother and two younger one's .

Rajbir - Eldest 27 year ,

Shehnaaz 22 year ,

Shehbaaz and Ranveer 20 year old .

Sidharth was only child of his parents who were died 3 years ago , he wanted to move out as living with his Uncle ( chacha ji ) in joint family , as they were partners in business . He decided after taking full charge on his father's business he would move in were Sidharth parents left an apartment for him , which only known to him .

His uncle family is nothing but greedy , who treats him with their fake love only for him to be under their control and his buisness .

When Shehnaaz family got proposal from Sidharth family . They enquired about the boy and family , later happily accepted with Shehnaaz approval , he was good looking , settled and they didn't find any flaws to reject the groom .

Shehnaaz started to like Sidharth , was dreaming about the marital life with him like any other girl . Where as Sidharth had liked the girl , wanted to talk and make her comfortable with him but his work didn't helped him and he didn't had her phone number .

Elders had fixed the date , till now they didn't face eachother only had eachother photo's .

Now Shehnaaz was sitting on his bed in his room waiting for him . She wants to pull off the flowers which are decorated for their special night , before she was excited , nervous for the night but now only she had one feeling i.e anger .

She remembered her family because of him they had to sell their house to give him Dowry , did she sell herself to him she felt low . Don't he feel ashame or have any self respect to even ask their house as dowry .

She had over heard their conversation , his uncle had asked no threatened them for the dowry , at the moment she wanted to stop the marriage but she was too late , she was already standing their with her hair filled with Sindoor and a marital chain around her neck .

She was about to stop her parents but her mother stopped her holding her hands while saying with teary eyes " Now You are married and What done is done , don't do anything that would raise question on you or our parenting and effect our reputation in the society " .

Shehnaaz was not shocked to here her mother . She knows as she heard her all life that Girls restrictions , follow according to their man , Respect , Reputation and all bullshit . If she had known before she would not have married a jerk like him . She kept mum seeing her mother warning gaze , she don't want to cause more problems to them as they already in .

The new bride who lost in her thoughts as in few hours her life changed she had become Shehnaaz Sidharth Shukla . She was excited to start a new life with him before with her life partner but her dreams got shattered and disappointment , emotions of hatered started in her heart for her newly wedded husband .

Sidharth entered their room with tense face , seeing his bride on his bed now their bed sleeping peacefully he felt complete , his mood lifted up immediately . As someone is their for him , to hold him when he falls , to share his burden , stand by him in his sarrow and happiness .

He changed quickly tapped her shoulder to wake her up and ask her change as she is still in her wedding attire it must be uncomfortable to sleep he thought . But she didn't budge even a little , she is heavy sleeper he thought with a smile spread on his face . He wanted to kiss her soft face but controlled himself thinking that it would scare her and may be she would think him as a desparate fucker , he slept on his side gazing at her .

Shehnaaz was pretending to sleep the all time she knew when he came but she didn't want to face him more have any energy left to entertain him , when she felt him tapping her still she wantedly didn't paid any attention , ignored him . When she felt him sleeping on his side but she is aware of his burning gaze . After few minutes when he finally slept , she got up and changed quickly before sleeping .

Next morning , Shehnaaz prepared sweet dish as per tradition . She carefully served everyone on the table . Sidharth was sitting along with his uncle's family he was engrossed in his phone , didn't paid attention to his surroundings . But when he heard his aunt saying something he dropped his phone and fisted his hand .

" Ye kya jala diya " his aunt said keeping the bowl aside making disgusting faces .

" Eww " his cousin said making faces .

" Madam vo bas toda sa jal gaya , Bahu ne apna hat jala liya " the maid informed to which the chachi ( aunt ) made disappointed face and continued eating ignoring other words .

Sidharth frowned and immediately got up from his seat . Taking her hand in his , he asked concernly " kider lagi ? " .

" Nahi tik hai " shehnaaz said controlling herself not to shed a tear infront of emotion less people . In the morning she had talked with her family her mother adviced to give a chance and let the matter go as they gave the property to their daughter only .

Shehnaaz thought she would decide whether to give chance or not , after talking to him directly about the issue . And if he wants to stay in the marriage and work it then he had to let go the property , untill then she would fulfill her responsibility she thought .

" Batao " he asked again with concern filled eyes scaning her hand .

He looked at the burnt mark which was red " Dyaan se karna chahiye tha na , jab ata nahi hai tho mat karo " he said concernly yet it come out as if he mocked her for being careless and don't know any work , infornt of everyone his family was enjoying the free show .

It's her first day here , she felt out of place and greatly insulted by her a day old husband . The person who vowed to stand by her , protect her , support her , love her atleast care would work but she didn't feel any of the one is going to fulfilled by him .

Shehnaaz was looking at him with her teary and hurtful eyes and his eyes were fixed on her burnt hand she tried to take her hand back in the moment his hand brushed on her burnt place making both hiss . He immediately loose his hold on her hand saying " dyaan se " .

Shehnaaz moved back to their room , Sidharth took the first aid box along with ice cubes and asked the maid to send their breakfast in their room .

Shehnaaz was in the bathroom kept the hand under the running water was looking herself in the mirror and crying . She didn't expected her life to be like this after marriage . She just dreamt of a happy loving family but here no one cared if she was in her own house the whole family would have gone bonker to see a single scratch on her . And here her husband didn't even cared , moreover mocked insulted her infront of everyone .

She wiped her tears as she heard " Shehnaaz " her husband calling from outside then knocking the door to confirm if she was in .

She turn off the tap , wipping her wet face she came out with blank face . She was hurt physically and emotionally as well .

" Ider aao " he said softly , she looked at him he was sitting on the couch with the first aid box .

She slowly moved towards him , he took her hand in his softly applied the gell . She hissed feeling the cold ointment on her skin , she was sensitive he blew the air saying " relax , jalde tik hojayega " .

She nodded yet tears rolled down from her cheeks , when he looked at her saying " Roo mat please " .

" Mujhe ata hai sab kam " she said her face become red due to her crying .

" Huhh " he looked confused , why did she said that out of blue he thought .

" Tumhe kitchen me jane ki koi jarurat nahi hai " he said meanting that maids are their she don't have to stress herself , so their is no need of her to cook .

She cried harder jerking her hand away from him , he panicked seeing her he don't know how to console her . He called her few times then wrapped his arm around her shoulder she jerked his hand again looking into his eyes saying " You don't have to mock me . I'm not careless , I know how to cook " .

" What " he said not understanding when did he mocked her .

" Maine kab bola ise " he asked not believing her words , she didn't said anything .

" Dekho koi misunderstanding hue hai , maine ise nahi bola . Mera vo matlab nahi tha , I'm just concerned for you , you are my wife . My responsibility and jab ghar me cook hai phir tum kyun karoge koi bhi kam " he explained her , wipping her tears .

" You are crying because you misunderstood me for mocking you " he asked she nodded her head .

He removed the few strands which are covering her face saying " Aur mujhe laga tumhe chot lagi hai isleye roo rahi ho " . His words and little guesters making her flip her heart again .

" Jal raha hai " she said in complaining tone with the puffy eyes red face , she looked so cute to him . He wanted to kiss her and he did caressing her cheeks while pecking her temples pulling her in his arms making her rest her head on his chest near his heart saying " Meri Jaan " .

Shehnaaz was feeling all mixed emotions she didn't understand what he is ? His care , concern for her was it fake . The man who held her burnt hand caressed her cheeks kissing her forehead and temples , his words gave birth to different emotions in her .

He caressed her hairs pecking her head for nth time saying " Agar koi baat hai tho bat karo mujhse , ise dil me rak kar roote mat baitna " . The maid knocked the door making the couple to quickly separate from eachother .

She came out of the terance suddenly and thought how and why did she allowed the man who hurt her and himself healed her . In this short period of time how he became the cause and cure of her pain .

Sidharth moved to bathroom to wash his hand . The maid kept the tray inside and moved out closing the door . He put the parota which she prepared in one palte taking a morsel he showed near her mouth saying " Chalo breakfast karlo " .

Shehnaaz looked at him with her wide eyes , few minutes back she was crying that her husband didn't cared for her but know seeing his care her eyes filled up . Now he is feeding her like a baby she is .

" Yaar roo tho nahi , sach me maine hand wash Kiya hai abhi " he said with teasing smile playing on his lips .

She bursted out in laughter , smiling widely at him for the first time after the marriage . She looked more beautiful while laughing he thought .

He made her eat the breakfast in between their talks he said " we will be shifting from here to our new home soon don't worry " .

Listening word home she realised her family is homeless now how can she easily forgot the house matter only seeing his care for a moment . Her mood which was better suddenly fell , she wanted to ask him why did he do this to her family .

" Chalo main tumhe hamara new apartment dekha tha hu " he said excitedly .

She kept looking at him with no emotion , how can someone be happy taking others happiness and celebrating their own , how can he stay happy after snatching their house and building his own she thought .

She said blankly " Mujhe apartment me rahna pasand nahi " .

" Ohh " he said his face fell but with in a minute he smiled back at her saying " It's okay I will look for a house soon with your likings " .

" Tik hai mujhe urgent kam hai , I will be back till evening . Lunch kar lena time se aur kuch chahiye tho phone kar dena tik hai " he said caressing her cheeks , his phone rang .

" Nahi mujhe ghar chod de , mujhe ghar jana hai " she said with blank face again .

" Abhi ? " He asked to confirm knowing she must be feeling home sick , she nodded her head not looking at him .

" Okay " he said and both left to her house . He let her spend time with her family and she wanted to clear her mind which jumbled due to his attention towards her .

After dropping her , Sidharth greeted his mother-in-law . Who was surprised to see him . Promising for the dinner he directly went to registered office were his brother-in-law , Rajbir and father-in-law were waiting for him .

It was dinner time when Sidharth came to pick his wife , he settled his things in the apartment as he didn't wanted his wife to stay with the uncle's family anymore who would hurt her .

Shehbaaz called Shehnaaz saying " Yaar kya kar rahe hai , Jija ji aye hue hai niche chal " .

Shehnaaz remains quite , Shehbaaz dropped himself beside her on the bed and asked her corcernly " kya hua hai moto "

She said " Mujhe nahi jana " .

" Hum tho hamesha tere saat hai na phir Kyun ? " Baaz said consoling her thinking she don't want to leave them . No one knows other then Sidharth , his uncle , Shehnaaz parents and Rajbir .

" Mere vajese ye ghar hamara nahi raha phir bhi ... " Was cut off by rajbir who entered her room .

" Isa kuch bhi nahi hai , ye ghar aj bhi hamara hai aur hamesha rahega " rajibr said .

" Bhai unhone .. " her words left incomplete when she heard all the events how his family threaten them , how sorry he was and gave their papers back .

" I'm sorry uncle " saying Sidharth handed the house papers back to his father-in-law .

He got to know yesterday after reaching their home , their lawyer called asking on whose name he had to register the house . Sidharth was so disgusted and disturbed that how can his uncle threat them saying " If you don't give the property papers then we will not take their daughter , who is now their daughter-in-law of the house his wife , with them " .

He felt ashamed to face them , how could he face his wife after snatching her parents house though it is indirectly , going under his nose but he was responsible for it he thought .

" Nahi beta , ye papers kyun " Sidharth father in law asked in confusion he thought they had came here for the registration signatures .

" Uncle mujhe nahi pata tha , chacha ne ye sab kiya . Aur ye apka Ghar hai and apka he rahega " Sidharth said .

Shehnaaz father had tears in his eyes , his elder son Rajbir hold his father's shoulder who was emotional . It was their home they built with so much love , they are still paying it's loan .

" Uncle nahi papa bolo beta " saying he engulfed Sidharth in a fatherly hug .

Sidharth restless eyes were wandering to see the only person but she was no where . He was talking with his in-laws in the leaving room but his heart desired for her , only her . Did he fall for her already ? To which his heart replied with blush coating his words " The magic was done on the first sight " Love at first sight .

Shehnaaz hugged her brother for clearing her mind and misunderstanding , she thanked her lord for blessing her with such a gem whom she thought was cursed before and now she regretted it very badly .

The dinner with family went well , on the insist of his in-laws they had agreed to stay the night . They didn't had any chance to talk at the dinning table and now Shehnaaz was helping her mother to clean , Sidharth was in her room waiting for her .

Sidharth was admiring her room , her pictures were hanged around the room smelt like her . He was looking himself in the mirror setting his hairs admiring his work-out result the 6 biscuits which would be soon 8 if he continues the diet and workout .

After his parents death , he was very disturbed and didn't took care of himself and had fallen into the trap of alcohol and cigarette which caused him to gain more weight and damage his internal parts . Later he realised his mistake and left the bad habit concentrating on the goal which his parents had for him .

Taking a deep breathe Shehnaaz finally entered their room and saw him whose back was facing her but his reflection can be seen through the mirror . He was busy flexing his muscles , she cleared her throat making him stop and look into her eyes from the mirror .

She was feeling different tingles in her body seeing him , his gaze was not helping her and him being half naked and so comfortable around her make her feel something which she didn't felt before .

He turned around clearing his throat he said scratching his neck " Vo , I don't have my tshirt so I mean if you not comfortable I will change into something " .

" No no tik hai " saying Shehnaaz rushed to bathroom , after changing herself into nightwear she came out . He was laying on the bed comfortably lost in his thoughts , They didn't talked since their alliance was fixed it's going to be them , alone in the room for the first time , as both are awake . When he heard the door sound he looked up she was looking so preety in her Tom and Jerry night suit .

She was about to go to her bed but a knock disturbed their eye game . Rajbir was standing out with a set of night dress for Sidharth and asked if he needs anything or is he comfortable , Shehnaaz took the clothes saying she would take care of him and closed the door . She kept the clothes on the table , she prefers her husband shirtless from now .

Sidharth was looking at her , observing her every move . He himself wanted to deny the clothes as he is more then comfortable and it's was his habit to sleep shirtless but her actions make him smrik and proud of himself , boosted his male ego . He raised his eyebrows at her , layer of blush formed over her cheeks .

Shehnaaz sat on the corner side of the bed , when he pulled her to himself . She closed her eyes at his sudden action and landed on him her hands placed on his hard chest she can feel his heartbeat under her palm . He moved her hairs back which covered her face and complimented her " You look beautiful ".

Blush crept her whole face , he didn't control himself from nuzzling his nose on her soft cheeks making her heart beat raise .

Shehnaaz wanted to start a fresh with him , to do that she has to confess whatever she thought and felt from the last day . She tried to pull herself back but he didn't loose his hold on her . She looked into his eyes while giving him a silent plead to let her and he did as she wanted .

She sat straight and he let her , she said tucking her hair back " I wanted to confess something " with a serious tone . All the negative thoughts clouded his mind , confess what ? Did she have someone.. no he is not going to conclude anything on his own so he nodded at her to continue .

Shehnaaz shared everything from her side what she felt from the time she heard the threat and what she decided . He listened to her quitely , he was feeling ashamed to make her feel and go through on their very special day of life because of his so called family but when she said she regretted their marriage for even a second it hurted him . Seeing his changed expression she immediately cupped his face saying " I want to be with you " .

He wrapped his hands around her saying " I will never do that , my parents didn't teach me to snatch . I swear , you don't know how sorry I'm when I got to know about this " .

" Sidharth " she called him for the first time , so lovingly it melts his heart .

He looked at her the guilt , regret can be seen in his eyes . With lots of courage she kissed his eyes saying " I know and I'm sorry too for not talking to you before and letting the misunderstanding drag between us " .

After their sorry session both slept holding eachother hands . Not before sharing their first kiss , he took her breathe away while their lips danced in a sync . He cupped her cheeks while sucking her lips , She patted his cheeks to leave her lips as she was feeling breathless . Breaking their passionate kiss , Sidharth was not over with her he started again to peck her lips .

Shehnaaz was all hot , she held his shoulder making him go crazy over her single touch on his bare skin . She moved her hands on his neck and tangled in his hairs when he left her lips and kissed her jaw .

Shehnaaz hugged him tightly not able take his hot kisses , their heart beat can be heard against eachother .

He rubbed her back saying " Am I going too fast ? " . He didn't want to rush but he wanted her to be close wi
