The time passed like this as Arjun left for Australia. Tara felt uncomfortable calling him and disturbing him at his work which act like a big gap between them.

She started busying herself in taking care of her beloved Bhabhi. She couldn't deny the fact that she missed him. There were numerous nights when she cried herself to sleep while caressing her engagement ring placing kisses on it showing her locked up emotion in the privacy of her room.

Soon it was time when the Singhud family welcomed their new generation.

It was a baby boy. Everybody was so happy with this new addition to the family but he was a little weak.

Nagesh Singhud wanted to celebrate his birth but Supriya asked him to stop as the baby was still weak to come in front of people's eyes. They waited for 3 months when the baby was completely healthy and chubby.

It was decided that they are going to throw a big party on a fine Sunday morning. His naming ceremony was already done and the priest asked them to keep the name from the letter 'S'.

It was Tara's responsibility to name the baby but she couldn't come up with a good name.

At the party, Tara announced that she is going to name the baby. Dinesh was trying his level best to make her share the name with him but she completely denied it.

On Sunday, the whole Singhud Haveli was decorated with fresh flowers. There were songs played around them as some girls were dancing downstairs while Trisha was getting ready so it was Tara's responsibility to take care of the baby.

Of course, if there is a party in Singhud Haveli, Nagesh would surely invite his best friend and soon-to-be relative, Aadhish Khurana.

"Tara, go and see what these kids are doing", her mother told her pointing at the garden where her cousins were playing. Tara nodded.

"Mumma, Chiku is with bhaiya", Tara informed her mother who nodded before proceeding out.

The moment she left outside, the Khurana family entered with many gifts in their hand. But what shocked Supriya more was the presence of Arjun. She thought he was still in Australia.

He came and touched her feet respectfully while she blessed him.

"Beta, I thought you are not in the country", Supriya asked.

"Aunty, the newborn baby is my nephew as well. How can I miss his first party?", he said melting Supriya's heart as she nodded.

"Of course, Chiku is in Tara's room. Only you have not seen him till now", she told him as he nodded.

"We'll tell him where her room is, aunty", Kinshuk said as somebody called Supriya. She nodded before caressing Arjun's cheek and leaving.

"Bhai, just go upstairs, the first room is of Dinesh Bhai and the second is her in the left", Kenit said and was about to accompany Arjun when he just shook his head at him which made him stop.

Arjun walked upstairs. He wanted to see her. It's been so long.

He walked to the left when he heard quarreling from the first room which he remembered was of Dinesh. He was about to ignore it till the time he heard her name. He frowned before moving closer.

"Trisha, I told you at the first glance only I wanted to marry Tara but you said she is too young right now. You will speak to Dinesh when it will be the right time", he heard somebody say making him fist his hand. He was trying his level best to not kill him already.

"Bhaiya, He was not ready for marriage till now also but Arjun is a different case. He is Papa's best friend's son", Trisha tried to make him understand.

"I don't care about this at all, Trisha. I have dreamt of marrying Tara the whole time. It's all because of you that isn't mine", he shouted at her and the last string of patience broke in Arjun as he opened the door before punching the man standing in front of him.

"Dare you take her name again", he told him calmly as Trisha gasped seeing the corners of her brother's lips bleeding.

"How dare you? First, you just send a proposal for the girl I like and then you dare to hit me", he asked before trying to punch him only for him to get another punch.

It wasn't easy to fight with Arjun who contributed his whole morning to his workout.

"I warned you. Don't speak about her", Arjun said before showering punches after punches on his face. Trisha called for help which was heard by Dinesh as he walked inside and tried to separate them but to no avail as Arjun unconsciously pushed him away.

Dinesh knew that it was out of his hand now and the only person who can stop Arjun was his sister. He walked downstairs immediately trying to find her as quickly as he can.

He finally found her in the garden playing with the kids having some sweets.

"Tara, come with me", he said holding her wrist pulling her with him.

"Bhai, what is wrong?", she asked while biting her jalebi.

"Bhai?", she called again taking the whole in her mouth before removing his grip from her.

"What is it?", she asked raising her eyebrow.

"Arjun... He is in my room. I don't know what happened but he is continuously hitting Trisha's brother", he said which made her eyes wide as she ran to their room.

She stood on the door seeing Arjun hitting the poor man who was trying to cover up now.

"Ji!", she called.

She got in between pulling Arjun away from him who was glaring daggers at the man whose lips were bruised while his body was hurting.

"You okay?", she asked checking his face for any injury. His eyes fall on her as her teary eyes saw a light cut on his neck making her tears fall down her eyes. She fearfully touched it seeing a few drops of blood on it. His eyes traced her face which showed more pain than he was feeling.

"I am sorry", she sobbed.

"You see that. There was no way she would've said yes to you", Trisha told her brother which made Tara turn to them with a frown.

"What are you talking about?", Tara asked before looking at the man who had bruises on his face and gasped.

"Tara, my brother had a liking for you. He thought that you would choose him over Arjun but the scene here clearly proved otherwise. Arjun is only having a mere cut while he is so badly wounded but still, the person who caught your attention first was Arjun", Trisha said as Tara looked at her with remorse.

"Bhabhi, I am sorry", Tara whispered as Trisha smiled at her.

"He is your fiancee. I can understand. Nobody can match the love you have for Arjun", Trisha said making Arjun stare at Tara with adoration. Tara cleared her throat as Dinesh shook his head.

"Tara take Arjun to your room. I don't want another fight here", Dinesh said with gritting making Tara nod as she held Arjun's hand before pulling her out.

"But Bhai Chiku?", she asked.

"He is with Papa", Dinesh said making her sigh.

She took Arjun to her room making him sit on her bed before quickly walking to her wardrobe and getting her first aid kit.

She came to him before treating the small cut carefully wincing at times.

"You didn't remove it", he asked talking about her anklet but she didn't answer him keeping the kit aside.

She closed her eyes before making her mind correctly.

She caressed her engagement ring before removing it and keeping it in his hand.

He blinked at her action. She took a deep breath before saying what her mind was telling her.

"You can give back the ring so we can call off this engagement", she told him silently. Arjun saw red at this moment before pulling her hair holding her jaw in a tight grip making her wince.

"Say that again", he dared her.

"Aah... Leave me", she winced.

"What the hell is wrong with you?", he said coldly making her close her eyes not able to look into his scary black eyes.

"I was thinking about this for a long time. I thought to call you but then thought it was only right to clear things personally", she said controlling her sobs because of the pain in her scalp.

"Tara, I am warning you to not say this thing again. I don't want to show you my dark side", he stated making her laugh humorlessly making him push on the bed hovering over her holding her jaw in a tight grip feeling it a sign of disrespect.

"You have just destroyed my peaceful life. When I started believing you, you just left and I am thankful you did otherwise I won't have ever seen that side of yours. First, I thought you are just not really expressive but you have a good heart but guess, I was really an idiot to think that. You are just not only rude, mean, scary but you are also a cheater", she said as a lone tear escaped the corner of her eyes.

"What?", He asked not able to understand what she meant.

"Here, I was waiting for you to return and all you did there was ignore the fact that you are engaged, roaming around with different models every day. I feel so disgusted being in this proximity with you", she said as more tears escaped her eyes.

"You felt angry with the fact that some other guy wanted to marry me then what should I do with the fact that you were practically in all the magazines with different women so close to you", she told him glaring at him.

"Tara baby, they met me in an event and the media wanted us to get pictured together. I didn't know you would feel this way", he asked as she denied to look in his eyes looking the other way.

"Tara?", he called again but she didn't move. Tears continued falling down her cheek.

"I Hate You", she whispered which made him clench his fist before punching on her either side making her close her eyes in fear.

"Don't say that. When I am saying, I didn't do anything wrong. Why do you have to behave like this?", he asked angrily.

"Because if I would've done something like this you would've killed me by now without asking the reason. Why there is so much difference in it? If you do it, you want me to forgive you, If I do it, you would just punish me before hearing me out. Why? Because you are a man and I am a woman who is weaker than you", she whispered with tears.

"Fine, I'll let you speak to them", he told her getting his phone when she just pushed his phone away.

"I don't want to speak to anyone. I just don't want to marry you. From the day, you came into my life, I am just feeling pain. My life was so much better without you. If it is this pain in the starting only, I don't see a better future with you after marriage", she told him making him grit.

His hand wrapped around her throat not in a tight grip but in a way to make her look directly in her eyes.

"Listen Tara and listen very carefully. I didn't want to be rude to you but you wanted it the hard way so let it be. The day my eyes fall on you, you were meant to be mine. And I would make sure you'll be mine. Either you agree happily or I force you to do it in a harder way. You think I left without a future plan in mind. Why do you think I wanted the engagement to happen as soon as possible?", he asked him in a sharp voice as she closed her eyes in fear.

"Everybody in the society knows we are going to get married. You have two choices either say yes or no, it doesn't matter. If you choose the first option and say yes, we'll get married like normal people. I would buy you a beautiful bridal lehenga in which you would look like an angel and I would come with proper tradition to take you with me. It will make both our families happy but if by chance you choose option number two and say no, I'll tell you what will happen. I would kidnap you from your home, take you to your beloved temple, get married to you forcefully or not you would get married to me and stay with me as my dear wife"

"With option one, no one in the society can raise a finger on our relationship but with option two every single person would be curious about our sudden marriage. They can say anything on your back", he told her as she shivered under him not known to his scary dark side till now.

"I want an answer, baby", he said caressing her cheek making her sob.

"Baby", he said in a more stern voice as she breathed heavily.

"Yes", she whispered in fear making him smile evilly. He got from the top of her as she stared at the wall on the other side with tears falling down her cheek.

"Forgot to inform you, baby, if you would've said no. I would've made sure you are pregnant sooner than usual", he told her before leaving her room silently.

She balled herself before crying loudly hiding her face in her knees. He was the heartless man in her eyes and he actually was heartless as he lost his heart to her.
