Madhu is getting ready in her designed dress, which RK brought from France especially for her. She looking stunning even before the beauty team work with her. They all astonished with her beauty and swear that they never saw a bride so beautiful like her. Everybody talking about how beauty she is. And how lucky she is to have such a handsome groom. Some are happy for her and many envy her to marry such a man and to have such a huge wedding celebration. The wedding hall was full of many strangers. Business men, doctors and some relatives and neighbors. Everyone living their own feeling except the bride. She is feeling nothing at all. She is not happy nor sad. She is there by her body but not with her mind or heart. She acts like robot. Smile when she told to for taking pictures. Or move when she told to. To do marriage ceremony. She is there watching the whole show as if she is not there. If this happen to another one. If she is out of her body and watching herself doing all that. She can see how happy her mother and her father are. And she can see the happiness dances in her groom eyes. He has hope to have good life with her. But what she is doing. She doesn't know. Everything happen fast. Now she is someone wife. Now she belongs to some stranger. Now she supposed to go and live in his house. To be his companion. To be his family. And suddenly it is all hits her when they starting to move to the new house and the new life she will have. She couldn't take it anymore. She felt she would cry. She needs to cry. She needs to scream. What did she do? How can she do this to herself and to this poor man? She excused herself from her husband and went to the makeup room to cry out her heart for the last time. She locked the door and started to cry in silent not letting anyone hear her.

"What did I do? How will I go with him? How will I live with him? I don't love him. I can't love him. I only love Sultan. And I can't love anyone else. I can't imagine myself in any other man arms. I can't be in one room with any other man. I hate you Sultan. Why did you leave me? Why can't you love me? If you just loved me, I would wait for you all my life. No, I don't hate you. I can't hate you. I hate myself for loving you. I hate my heart for making me fool all these years. But this poor man. What will you do with him Madhu. He doesn't deserve that from you. He loved you. That is all his fault that he loves you. How could you do this for him? How could you hurt him like that? No. I can't hurt him. I must do anything to not let my love affect him. She wiped her tears and unlock the door to go out and go to her new house with her husband. Then realized that her crying spoiled her makeup. So she got in the room again and went to the washroom to wash her face and fix her make up. When she was in the washroom, she heard voices in the room. It was her mother voice with another one crying.

"Come on Meera don't cry. I'm her mother and I don't cry as much as you do" Padmini

"I'm not crying for Madhu. I'm happy for her" Meera

"So why are you crying for?" Padmini

"I'm crying for my son Sultan" Meera

"And what is wrong with Sultan. Isn't he ok" Padmini worry about Sultan

"No he is not" Meera

"What do you mean?" Padmini

Meera started to tell Padmini what happened in the morning when she got call from abroad number

Flashback

"Hello who is this?" Meera

"Ma it is me Sultan" Sultan

"Sultan how are you son?" Meera

"I'm fine mom how are you and your health?" Sultan

"I'm fine dear. I'm happy you called today. I have great news for you" Meera

"No mom listen to me first I have greater news I'm sure you will be happy" Sultan

"Ok you say first what is your good news?" Meera happy hearing her son voice full of happiness

"I want you to talk with uncle Malik and aunt Padmini to fix my marriage with Madhu" Sultan

"What?" Meera

"Yes mom I know I never told you before but I love Madhu so much. I'm loving her since the first day we met. I never say anything to anyone because you know our financial problems. My salary was providing only our food and your medicine. So I couldn't talk about marriage before. And when I realized that Madhu is going to graduate and many men will propose her. I decided to come here to Dubai to search for a job. Actually, I lied when I told you there is a job opportunity here. There was none. I stayed here with my friends and went everyday seeking for a job. Even the owner of my friend's house knew that I live with them illegally and he kicked me out three weeks ago. I was living on the streets. I had nothing at all. But I said it is all ok. All this pain will go away the moment I will be with my Madhu in our home. And just yesterday I got a call from a friend telling me about a job. And today I went there and I signed the contract. It is a very good job with a good salary. So now I can afford to marry Madhu and give her the life she deserves. I love her so much mom. Please mom go right now and tell them that I want to marry her. I know they will accept me. They love me as their son. Mom? Why don't say anything? Mom is everything alright? Is Madhu alright?" Sultan

"Yes son Madhu is alright" Meera crying over the phone

"So why are you crying mom? Please tell me" Sultan

"Because today is Madhu wedding. That was the good news I wanted to tell you" Meera can't control herself from crying

"Madhu wedding! Bye mom I have to go now" Sultan

"Sultan" Meera

Flashback ended

"Then he hang up the phone. I don't know how is he. I tried to call him but the phone was switched off. My son is in pain. He never told me anything about his love. I'm bad mother" Meera

"You are not bad mother Padmini trying to console devastated" Meera

"I don't know what to do. I feel helpless. My son is in another country and he is in pain" Meera

"Calm down. Sultan is a strong man. Please relax. Or your health will get worse. If we know what was in his heart we would never accept this marriage. But what can we do now. Now Madhu is already married. She is someone wife. So please calm down and come to say goodbye to Madhu. Let us not make this day hard for her. She loves you so much and it will hurt her if she sees you like that. Come on for Madhu sake please stop crying" Padmini

They both heard knocking on the door and a girl walk in the room asking Padmini

"Aunty where is Madhu? The groom and his family are waiting to take her" the girl

"Ok dear I'll come and search for her" Padmini and she left the room with the girl and Meera searching for Madhu not realizing that she is in the washroom hearing all their conversation

When Madhu went out of the washroom in shock for what she just heard another girl came and called her out to go with her husband and her in-laws to her new house
