She joined her hand in front of god praying for all the problems in her life to evaporate like water in summers. She closed her eyes remembering every single thing which happened in her life these days.

She was forced to say yes to the marriage when she didn't even know him properly than him being shot. She was trying to run away from him but it was like destiny was pulling them in front of each other again and again.

She loved to sing the morning Aarti in the temple since childhood and as time passed, the priest himself asked her to sing it because of her sweet voice.

"Please Ma, show me the right way. I never felt this tense in my whole life. This decision of marriage is though not taken from my heart but still I can't deny the fact that marriage is a pious bond and I am not going to make fun of it. Just take care of me. I know whatever problems that will come in my way would be because of my karma and I am not saying anything for that. Just give me patience and strength to stay strong. Please show me the correct path", she prayed with her whole heart.

She took a deep breath before opening her eyes looking at the aarti thali in her hand when she felt a weird warmth in her heart. It was like something was calling for her which made her turn.

She looked back to find him climbing the stairs of the temple. She couldn't move her eyes away from him as his eyes met her. She blinked a few times when the priest called her.

"Tara beta, give the aarti and Prasad(blessed food) to everyone", he spoke kindly as she nodded giving the aarti to everyone with a smile.

She moved ahead only to stop when her eyes fall on the person standing in front of her. She immediately cast her eyes downwards as he walked to her taking the aarti from her before offering his right hand to take the Prasad from her which she gave to him soon after.

She turned back giving the plate to the priest as the priest blessed her. She wanted to leave as soon as possible but stopped thinking would it be right running away. She stood at the entrance looking around at the happy people.

"He is not a child. He forced you to get married to him. You don't need to care for his feelings", her mind told her as she nodded before walking out only to feel her dupatta being pulled back. She frowned before turning only to find him holding her dupatta staring at her.

She looked down immediately trying to loosen up his grip around her dupatta.

"Is anything wrong, beta?", the priest asked Tara looking at Arjun.

She was about to speak when Arjun walked to her making her wear the dupatta properly which was touching the floor before.

She realized he was just helping her.

"Pandit Ji", he spoke before touching his feet.

"You both know each other", Priest asked looking at Tara.

"We are going to get married soon", Arjun said noticing the silence of Tara which made the priest happy.

"Oh great. That is good news. This is the right age for marriage. I don't know why today's youth think to get married later", Priest said shaking his head before walking inside.

Tara stared at him in shock.

This was not her age to get married and still he considered it fine. She is too young to get into a relationship with somebody. That's what she used to think.

She pouted before walking downstairs removing the dupatta from her head, putting it on her right shoulder. She wore her sandals pushing the hair strands behind her ears which came out of her long ponytail.

"Are you running away?", she heard him only to stop in her tracks.

He reached her before standing beside her.

"Can I walk you back to your place?", he asked politely as she bit her lower lip not having a reason to say no so choose to nod her head.

They walked silently with him enjoying her presence and her loss in her thoughts.

"You don't come here daily", she stated more like asked looking down.

"I don't think the ground is more interesting than me or is it", he asked suddenly making her look up before looking down again.

"I came to know from my sources that you come here daily so thought to kidnap you", he told her making her eyes widen.

"What are you talking about?", she asked taking a few steps away from him only for him to hold her wrist pulling her towards him.

"You are scared", he stated as she stared in his eyes for a second before looking at his shoulders in fear of losing her soul and consciousness in his orbs.

"It's not like you have given me a reason to not be scared of you", she spoke in a soft voice as he smiled.

"You know you are my wife which gives me complete right on you", he asked whispering in her ear as she took a deep breath.

"I am not your wife", she told him in a mere whisper making him raise his eyebrow.

"Don't you remember the moment we took four rounds in the gurudwara or I need to make you remember the same by taking seven rounds around the holy fire this time in the same temple, you were worshipping minutes ago", he told her this time angrily pulling her closer to him making her struggle in his grip.

"Mumma", she cried feeling his old around her wrist cutting the blood supply in her hands.

"Leave", she cried pulling her hand with her whole might but he was in no mood to listen to her.

"Not right now baby girl first accept the fact that you are my wife", He asked pulling her closer than ever making her close her eyes with tears wetting her cheek.

"I'll shout", she told him in a raspy voice because of the sobs in her throat.

"You think I am scared of your screaming. Shout as loud as you could. I won't let you go till the moment you would accept the truth", he told her as she cried.

"I wasn't aware of what you were doing. I would never accept it", she told him as he clenched his teeth before throwing her on his shoulder making her punch on his back.

"Papa", she cried punching on his back trying to move her legs to loosen up his hold around them. He asked the guards to get out of his way as he threw her on the passenger seat putting the seat belt around her immediately.

"Please, let me go", she cried as he banged the door close making her jump in fear. He got back on the driving seat and started driving. The car was moving fast on the almost deserted road.

"Let me go", she cried as he glared at her once.

She felt a shiver run down her spine looking at his angry face.

"I hate you", she shouted making him tighten his hold on the steering wheel, his hands were almost white with his hold.

He stopped the car in front of a big mansion, a little bigger than Khurana Mansion as he pulled her out of the car. She held his hand not wanting to go inside.

"Where are you taking me?", she cried as he picked her up in his arms getting inside the mansion which seemed like it was deserted for a long time but still clean.

She struggled only to stop to see his glare.

"Please", she pleaded as he opened a certain room throwing her on the bed making her frighten more than ever. She moved away from him only to stop staring at the walls with fear.

It consists of her pictures. Each and every corner of the wall had her picture which made her scared more than ever.

He fisted his hands taking deep breaths trying to calm his nerves. He threw his jacket away making his white t-shirt come in view. The bulging muscles of his arms made her gulp.

He pushed his hair back before turning to her as she pulled her knees to herself hiding her face in her knees shivering badly.

He frowned seeing her shiver. It wasn't the usual kind, It was worse than usual.

He reached her only for her to run away from him.

"Please don't", she cried running away only to come across her pictures making her gulp.

"Where did you bring me?", she asked turning to him shivering badly. He held her shoulder as she cried on his shoulder.

"I can't breath", she said clutching her chest as he frowned taking her to the balcony. She continued holding his shoulders as he caressed her back. Soon her body falls limp in his hands.

He checked her only to find her unconscious. He lost his control. He realized.

But he couldn't control himself the moment she denied the fact, she was his wife.

He picked her up in his arms. He wanted to keep her with himself but right now wasn't the time. He needed to work on his anger and more than anything, his fear of losing her.

He took her outside of the mansion getting her inside the car.

The moment he made her lie, he couldn't help but stare at her innocent face with pain clearly visible on his face. He wanted her to accept him but she would always choose to run away from him.

Was it this difficult for somebody to love him?

He got various proposals from many girls in his life but the girl he loves is not ready to love him back after his continuous trials.

He took a deep breath before walking to his side. It was already dark outside as the road was illuminated by the night lights as he continued stealing glances at her.

He so wanted her to live the life she wanted but it meant letting her go with the hatred she developed in her heart for him. He wasn't ready to lose another loved one. He would lose his mind this time.

He stopped the car in front of her place before picking her up in his arms.

He asked one of his guards to knock on the door to find it already open as her brother and father were calling somebody and her Bhabhi and mother were crying. He understood what happened.

Dinesh's eyes fall on him and then his sister running to them immediately.

"Tara", he called as the other people looked at the duo. Dinesh was about to take Tara from Arjun when Nagesh asked Arjun to take Tara to her room not wanting to make her daughter feel uncomfortable.

For him, Arjun was the best husband Tara could ever get which was true too at a point but the moment Arjun's devil kicked in he would ruin Tara every single time. He would break her into pieces which would be difficult for him to join.
