Madhu and Bhavya sit on the couch, and everyone settles down.

"First we'll see RK's bride." One lady says as she stood up and walked to Madhu. She gives Madhu a gift and lifts up her saree pallu which was covering her face.

And Rishabh's breath gets caught in his throat. Madhu was a true beauty. Her eyes, her smile, her skin... it was all perfection. God! He never realized how beautiful she was.

"Let's go?" Shivaay asks them, breaking Rishabh out of his stupor.

"Wait, I want to see Bhavya." Rudra tells them.

Few minutes later, the ritual was done. The brothers were about to leave when they hear their aunt ask loudly, "Madhu, why did RK marry you instead of Bhavya?"

"How dare she?" Rishabh whispers furiously.

"We should have thrown her out." Rudra furiously whispers seeing Madhu looking at her confused, and Bhavya looking outright uncomfortable.

Rishabh, Rudra and Shivaay quickly hurry to them.

"I am sorry... you are?" Madhu asks her confused.

"She is Mohan Uncle's aunt." Bhavya whispers to her seeing how humiliated that aunt was looking.

"Oh, okay... I am just meeting everyone for the first time..." Madhu tells her.

"We met yesterday."

"Possible... you know, how many people I met yesterday... after a point I was just so tired and just didn't concentrate much. And we might have met during that time. My brain might have assumed you were not important and didn't store the information." Madhu explains to her.

"God, she is vicious." Shivaay says in admiration seeing how Madhu was chopping their aunt.

"No." Rudra softly whispers to him. "She is being honest. It took me a while to realize it, she speaks her mind."

"Yeah... she does!" Rishabh says in shocked understanding.

"Well..." Madhu starts to explain. "Rudra and Bhavya love each other. I was not in love with Rudra and Rishabh was also not in love with Bhavya. So, we thought it best if they got married. And Rishabh and I..."

"Madhu!" Rishabh calls her name to stop her.

"Yeah?" Madhu looks at him confused.

"So, RK married you?" the aunt asks her.

"Yeah."

"Madhu!" Rishabh says as he held her hand and pulled her up.

"WHAT?!?!"

"C0me here."

"What was that?" Rishabh asks her as he took her to the other room.

"That is what I am asking you. what was that?" Madhu asks him back angrily.

"What?" Rishabh was suddenly confused.

"Pulling me like that?"

"Why were you telling them why we got married?"

"What is there to hide?"

"Madhu... they are going to think that you are a charity case."

"Charity case?" Madhu asks him, frowning. "You and your brothers came to my house in the middle of the night and asked me to marry you. how can I be a charity case?"

"They don't know that!"

"So? You want me to tell them that too?"

"No... it's our personal matter... why do you have to discuss it with them?"
