Two hours back,
Torture warning
Ruchi opened her eyes as she heard the door of the room open. She curled her toes in her torn sandals, closing her eyes with a tear rolling down her cheek. She knew what was coming next and she feared it.
She never thought that her hatred for Aadhira would lead her somewhere near her end. She always considered that girl too naive to be harmful to even an ant. But she was proved wrong.
Time and situations can transform anyone and Aadhira was a verified example of the following statement.
She sucked in a harsh breath, as she remembered every moment when she bullied Aadhira, causing her serious injuries, the memories she cherished provided her greatest enemy the highest sense of pain.
She remembered how sometimes Aadhira used to beg her to stop everything yet Ruchi's cruel self never stepped back from bullying her. Every tear from Aadhira's eyes was a solace to Ruchi's heart down with hatred.
All she wished at that moment was to make that immature 8-year-old Aadhira scream and cry in pain. The harmless one, The one who took every pain and scar on her body with just a scream, and her brothers too helpless to even look after their sister.
"Kya baat h miss Rajvanshi? Lgta h aapne mann hi mann yamraj se meeting fix krrr li h!"
Ruchi was startled at the hoarse voice from the dark before the person came into her view. Ruchi's eyes analyzed the person in front of her. He was too hot for any female eyes to not check him out. She could only stare at the god-gifted attractiveness in front of him.
Darsh Kapadia
"Miss Rajvanshi my girlfriend won't like your gaze on me so stop checking me out," Darsh said looking away with a smirk on his face, imagining Aadhira's reaction if she was here.
Ruchi out of instinct licked her lower lip before the words came out of her mouth, "Why do you want only Aadhira, Darsh-"
"Mr. Kapadia" Darsh corrected her before she could complete her sentence," Only my Aadhira has the right to call me by my first name"
His voice was cold and hence sent a shiver down Ruchi's spine as she clutched the handle of the wooden chair in anxiousness. "Mr. Kapadia, Aadhira se bhi Sundar ladkiyan h yahan par, aap unn par dhyaan kyu nhi dete?"
Was she on drugs?-He thought to himself.
Darsh snickered at the woman's thinking, he thought that the fact she'd be dying had gotten to her head. He just wanted to cut her head off for saying that someone was more beautiful than his Aadhira. She was his devotion to him.
"Listen Ms. Rajvanshi, My Sherni is a goddess whom I can worship every day, every minute, and every second of my life. Every beauty loses its charm in front of her. Get that sorted in your head."
Ruchi gulped at the hard tone that came out with the last sentence. His eyes held nothing but a sense of pure love and rage as he addressed those words.
She still gathered the courage to try saving herself for the last time," Mr.Kapadia let's do a deal". Darsh quirked his eyebrow gesturing her to continue. He was now sure that the woman had gone insane.
"Tum mujhe chhod do yahan se phir mai aur tum bhaag chlte h. You know we can even get married, leave Aadhira- Ahhh" Before she could complete a knife had already made a deep cut on her neck, painting her neck with her own blood. She helped when Darsh didn't remove the knife's tip, inserting it further.
He spoke through gritted teeth," Don't you dare complete that Bitch". Even Ruchi's hazy view could figure out the possessiveness and madness that his dark orbs held as he spoke the next sentence,
"Agar Aadhira khud bhi mujhe usse chhodne bolegi na toh bhi I wouldn't ever because Darsh Kapadia belongs to Aadhira Singh"
"I prefer dying than leaving her" He completed as Ruchi yelped in pain when he took out the knife harshly from her neck. Darsh shook his head and stood in the previous spot where he was.
"Mai tumhe apne haathon se marr doon aisa koi kaam mat kro Ms.Rajvanshi" Darsh growled at her with his emotionless face replacing his prior sarcastic attitude.
Ruchi was out of breath as she looked at her own breath still she managed to speak up, "Ka-Kapadia mere mamu ko pta chala na toh tujh-tujhe toh kya uss-usss Aadhira ko bhi nhi chhodenge"
Darsh gripped her head, banging her head to the back of the chair. Ruchi hissed as she felt her eyes closing when the door again opened, this time multiple footsteps were heard.
"Darsh Kapadia," Aditya said loudly while Darsh just smirked hearing him. Ruchi smiled at his voice, "Bhaiya mai yahan hoon. Bacha lijiye mujhe" She stifled a sob at the end of her sentence for more effect.
Aditya looked at Ruchi who was on the verge of unconsciousness and threw a glare at Darsh who just shrugged his shoulders, "Kapadia Tum humare aane se pehle hi isse marne wale the kya?"
Ruchi's eyes widened as the realization of his next words hit her hard, "Didn't we talk about the partnership in sending her to hell?". Darsh chuckled as he saw a smirk forming on each brother's face.
"Par bhaiya-" Ruchi tried keeping the pieces together when Samarth cut her off, "Stop acting Ruchi, you deserved it".
His words were curt yet blunt as Ruchi broke into stifled sobs. She felt betrayed by her family, yet somewhere her feelings resonated with the feelings of the 8-year-old Aadhira.
She felt like the previous naive and broken Aadhira today. Her sobs were royally ignored by the men in the room. They couldn't care less about the stranger in front of them.
"And I must say, I am proud of my Aadhira's choice for once," Aditya said in a monotonous tone, avoiding Darsh's widened eyes. A blush crept on Darsh's face, it was more like a dream come true for him, but before he could comment anything Eshanth and Kairav too entered.
Aditya looked at Darsh with a questioning gaze and he just nodded making Aditya realize what he just gestured. "Let's get started boys, we don't have much time aur na hi inn mauhtarma ke pass h"
"No...No you can't do this bhaiya" Ruchi tried shifting backward but she was still tied to the chair for doing anything. Darsh called in his female guards, who bowed to him knowing his orders well.
Samarth sat on his knees near Ruchi's chair as he chuckled darkly before taking out his knife, "Tumhe yaad h Ruchi ek baar tumhare inn hi nakhunon ne meri Iru ke muh ko kharocha tha." Ruchi gulped at his tone, he sounded like a maniac," This is for that scratch"
Ruchi tried taking her hand back or wished for the rope to break as she saw Samarth's knife near her nails. Samarth had a tight grip on Ruchi's squirming hand as he efficiently plucked each of her nails out. Ruchi's scream echoed each time he did it yet it suppressed by the end one.
She knew her cries were in vain as she saw the look in each one's eyes through her blurry vision. She knew her end was nearer than ever. The blood on her neck had also stopped flowing but it pained like hell as Laksh spread some salt on it.
Ruchi wailed at the top of her lungs, she wanted to die. "ki-kill me" She begged not wanting to take any torment further. "Not so soon Ms.Rajvanshi, 17 saal is badla baaki h meri Sherni ka. You can't away with this anytime soon"
Darsh smirked as he scratched her right cheek with the tip of the knife trailing with blood on it. "Give me the knife," Shaurya asked his older brother. Samarth raised a brow in question demanding an answer.
"Arrey, I'll pluck out her toenails. Chaku toh doh mujhe" Samarth nodded complying and getting up. Shaurya grinned at Ruchi before slowly yet hardly pulling out her toenails but he wasn't satisfied with the screams.
So he pulls out the last one harsher than the other, completely satisfied with the last wail leaving her mouth.
Ruchi lied lifelessly as her eyes were finally going to shut, just with another stroke. She could see death standing in front of her as she felt Aditya and Eshanth cutting off her fingers slowly. Her clothes were soaked in her own blood.
This was the first time she felt the urge to apologize to Aadhira but before she could think anything else Darsh pulled her by her hair, even pulling out some, "Sit straight bitch. This ain't over yet"
Ruchi screamed as someone jabbed a knife in her thigh, she looked up to find Harshil standing there with a sinister smirk adorning his face " Please Maa-maaf krdo mujhe. Ki-ll me no-now". He pulled out the knife and again jabbed it in the other one.
Kairav took the salt from Laksh and spread it on all her wounds as she felt difficulty in breathing while experiencing this horrifying pain. Her screams grew louder as she felt him spreading it everywhere. "Those hands pushed my sister"
She felt Eshanth drilling holes in her Tarsels, her eyes widened with the amount of torture she was receiving. All she felt was immense pain.
Her body heated with the amount of pain. Her face was soaked with both tears and blood as she finally closed her eyes feeling the world collapse in front of her.
She just wanted to die...as soon as she could.
"Weak Bitch. Can't even take this much" Kairav commented as he handed over the salt box to one of the guards. He was not satisfied with the torture at all but couldn't do anything as she had passed out.
Darsh ordered the female guards, "Isse andar le jao and wait for Parth. After that torture her as much as you can. Haanth kaat do, pair kaat do. Do whatever you want but after Parth's done with tormenting her. I don't need this fucking bitch alive tomorrow to see the sunshine. For now, give her the best doctors Understood?"
The guards nodded dragging Ruchi's almost lifeless body with them to another cell in the torture chamber.
Torture over
All the men walked out of the torture chambers, "This was fun!" Shaurya and Kairav screamed together and then glared at each other, huffing away.
"Bacchon ki tarah ladna band kro dono and Darsh Buaji se mulakat kab ho rhi h?" Harshil asked turning towards his future brother-in-law for a reply.
"Mai sure nhi hoon ki hum unse mil bhi payenge ya nhi because I guess Sherni will have her turn with her." Darsh said rubbing the back of his neck in an unsure voice, "Wo mujhe kha jyegi agar maine isss baar usse ye chance cheena toh"
Samarth chuckled hearing him, his sister really had a great name for terrorizing people. Even though he was sometimes scared of her himself but still, he knew no matter what he was her favourite out of all of them.
"Fine, let Aadhira take her revenge boys. Uska haq h ye aur koi isme interfere nhi krega" Aditya instructed all of them to which they nodded in response.
"Aur yahan kya hua wo bhi koi meri princess ko nhi btayega" He looked at Eshanth who nodded. This guy had a habit of ranting everything to her and Aditya was well aware of this.
"Waise saale sahab aap sach keh the when you said you were proud of me?" Darsh rubbed the back of his neck while blushing a little. It was a golden moment for him, getting appreciated by his eldest brother-in-law.
"No Kapadia, I said I am proud of my sister's choice, not you, "Aditya said in an indifferent tone, giving a single glance to Darsh.
Darsh shook his head as his Sherni once told him that her Dada never openly appreciates anyone except her. Darth couldn't control but feel awed at his eldest brother in law's behaviour.
"Awww, Sabse bade Saale Sahab aap kitne cute h," Darsh spoke while Aditya had to control himself from not smiling at his comment, which wasn't unnoticed by Darsh. He decided to tease him more.
"Mann toh Krrr rha aapko gale laga loon" Darsh spoke while opening his hands to hug Aditya who looked horrified at his gesture, "No- no Kapadia stay away from me"
But Darsh didn't obey him and Aditya ran away from him while Darsh too followed him. Everyone laughed seeing them, especially Aditya.
It had been years since they witnessed his childish demeanor behind that cold and emotionless face. He had totally changed after Aadhira left and today it felt like having their Dada back.
What shocked everyone was when Aditya stopped running and Darsh lunged at him hugging him. Aditya who was first startled and panting, patted Darsh's back after a few seconds. The guy had really impressed Aditya.
"Kaash Aadhira bhi ye sab dekh paati," Harshil whispered to Neel in a sadistic tone. The latter hummed in response to his elder brother's statement," Bhaiya bahut try krrr rhe h uske liye. Darsh ko accept krna unke liye aasan nhi tha yet he did. Ab toh usse maaf krrr hi dena chahiye unhe"
Darsh bid Kairav and Eshanth farewell too, who hugged him back.
"Thank you so much for calling us Darsh wrna kuch logon ne home btane ka socha hi nhi tha," Kairav said eyeing the Rathore brothers who ignored him royally except Neel, who couldn't control his tongue.
"Haaa toh tum log jaan ke bhi kya krte? meri behen h wo" He bluntly commented looking away from Kairav's glare. Eshanth and Darsh gave each other a look conveying the same sentiment.
"Meri bhi behen h wo" Kairav spat back but before Neel could reply, Darsh spoke gaining all the attention, "Aur meri hone wali biwi".
Everyone looked at him in disbelief while Neel looked ready to beat him up. His sister wasn't getting married anytime soon. Darsh towards his car sitting in and sliding the window, "Kuch bhi krlo Shaadi toh mai aapki behen se hi krunga!"
"Kapadia-" Darsh drove off before he could be hurled with beatings. Eshanth shook his head smiling at Darsh, "Ye ladka nhi sudhrega"

Present time
Aadhira was staring out of the window while Darsh was stealing glances at her. She was awfully quiet after their initial conversation.
Though she looked immensely beautiful to him even when she didn't speak a word still he always yearned to hear her voice. He wanted to say something but kept on dropping the idea to disturb her.
"Kuch bolna h?" Aadhira's voice startled Darsh out of his daze. He immediately nodded registering her question, "Toh mere validation ka wait krrr rhe the aap boyfriend sahab?"
Aadhira turned towards him with sarcasm in her tone, Darsh just smiled at his Sherni. No one could read him better than her. "Meri ek request maanegi Sherni?"
Darsh said with a little hesitation focusing on the road. He knows how his Sherni will react to his further words," Apne bhaiyon se mere liye mat lada krrr. Wo bade h wo jo chahe bol skte h mujhe but Tu unse-"
His sentences were cut off by his girlfriend's exclamation," Bade h Toh kya hua? Wo kuch bhi bakwaas krenge tere liye?"
Aadhira snapped at him, creating a little distance between them that was not unnoticed by Darsh and honestly, he didn't like it as well. He wanted to pull her near him but he was driving, "Mera woh mtlb nhi h Sherni. I know tera mood isliye kharab because pakka Parth ne mere baare me kuch kaha hoga and you guys fought. Dekh wo humse bade h unka haq h-"
He was again cut off, "Chup kar jaaa Darsh!". Her voice was too stern for Darsh's liking so he kept his mouth shut before his lioness could be enraged further.
"Tu khud ke liye bhi bakwaas krega na toh bhi nhi sunungi mai" She scolded him, "Kisi aur ko toh chhod, and that too the people who don't even exist for me anymore. Isliye better mujhe gussa mat dila"
She said turning away with a stern expression though Darsh sensed the anger seeping beneath it. He cursed himself for even bringing up this topic but he really wanted her to mend her relations with her brothers and if they kept on fighting this wouldn't be happening anytime soon.
His heart melted as she spoke the next lines without even glancing at him "My Darsh is too perfect to be considered imperfect."
That 'My Darsh' always warmed his heart whenever it left his Sherni's mouth. He looked at her angry face with a soft gaze thinking- I wish all my life I remain yours Sherni.
He focused on driving to the place his girlfriend had asked him to. If it was in his hands he wouldn't let her visit that place but right now he couldn't infuriate her anymore.
-×-
Aadhira opened the cell door with a thud. A smirk formed on her lips when she looked at the lady in front of her. The one whom she wanted to torture like hell for years, was right in front of her. All thanks to her boyfriend.
Menka looked up as Aadhira stood in front of her with a smirk while Darsh was leaning on the wall. He was going to let his Sherni take over the command.
"Mujhe baandh ke tujhe shaanti nhi mili kaleshni, Jo ab yahan bhi chali aayi tu" Menka spoke through gritted teeth looking at Aadhira who's smirk widened at her irritation.
"O budhiya zaban sambhal ke baat krrr meri Sherni se wrna teri umar ka bhi lihaaz nhi krunga mai" Darsh warned with bloodshot red eyes, his voice cold and stern as ever.
"Chhod na Darsh, chal len de iski zubaan. Kyunki pta nhi kal tak rhe bhi ya nhi?" Aadhira mocked looking at Menka's terrified face, "Kuch jawab puchne aayi hoon tumse"
"Mai tujhe kuch nhi btane wali. Chali jaa yahan se" Menka retorted wiggling on the chair. "Tu kya teri amma bhi btayegi kyunki ussi ke liye maine tujhe zinda rkha h budhiya"
"Isss aadmi se bacha krrr" She pointed towards Darsh, who just shook his head admiring his soon-to-be wife. She was really made just for him.
Menka looked back at Darsh and then back at Aadhira, "Ohh toh ye h wo ladka jo tere pyaar me andha h" She scoffed, "Itna ki Menka Rajvanshi ko pakad liya. Tune toh badi machli pkdi h Aadhira"
Aadhira's smirk fell as she heard Menka's next words directed to Darsh," Sunn le ladke manhoos h ye. Chhod De issue. Khud bhi maregi aur tujhe bhi marrwayegi. Bachpan se yahi toh kiya h isne, bas apne Apnon ko chot pahuchana"
Aadhira looked away as a tear glistened her eyes, she hated every memory of it. She hated that Menka still had a reason to hurt her. She hated every bit of the life she lived till now.
"Aadhira ab mai iski Jaan le lunga" Darsh spoke fuming with anger coming forward towards Menka who's shrinked in her chair looking at the devil himself. Aadhira held his bicep stopping him, "Ruk jaaa Darsh, maut toh isse milegi hi par abhi nhi"
Darsh looked at Aadhira but his eyes softened as he saw a fallen tear, he immediately wiped it away with the back of his hand and kissed it away. He caressed her face once before moving back to his previous spot calming himself.
He was there for his Sherni today not for killing Menka - He reminded himself.
"Bol menka kyu kiya tune aisa bacchi thi na mai, kya bigada tha maine tumhara?" Aadhira asked with an emotionless masquerade. Menka again scoffed at her question.
"Bacchi? Tu mera durbhagya thi ladki" Menka yelled at her, "Sab kuch, sab kuch bigada tha tune mera. Meri Ruchi ki khushiyan cheeni thi."
"Meri ruchi isss ghar ki ekloti ladki thi. Dev ne apni property ka ek bada hissa uske naam krne ka soch hi liya tha par phir tu beech me aa gyi. Arey, tujh jaisi manhus ko paida hone ki kya zarurat thi?"
Aadhira closed her eyes to avoid losing any tears at the words of the woman sitting here. She shuddered a little speaking," Tumhari beti ko Rajvanshi's ki saari property mil toh rhi thi? Tab bhi tumne aisa kyu kiya?"
"Mera pati Prateek, Ruchi ko apna waris nhi manta tha. Nafrat krta tha vo usse. Isliye jab maine Dev ko Ruchi ko importance dete dekha toh Mujhe ye idea aaya. Mai hi thi vo jiski wajah se Dev ne apni pyaari beti ko paida hote hi khud se door krrr diya. Sirf apni Ruchi ki khushiyon ke liye"
Aadhira banged her hand on the table in front of her making Menka flinch back in her seat."Sherni!" Darsh shouted looking at Aadhira's bloodied hand. He rushed to her holding her hand, "Kya krrr rhi h tu? Dekh kitna khoon beh rha h"
He immediately took out his handkerchief, tying her hand while looking at it with utmost concern.
Aadhira jerked her hand from his hold, "Ruk jaaa Darsh, aaj toh mai sach sunke hi jaungi". Darsh glared at her and held it in his hold, pressing it to stop the blood flow.
Aadhira ignored his glare and asked Menka to continue." Jab wo tujhe wapas leke aaya tab bhi mai hi thi wo jisne tujhe jhoothi cheezon me phasa krrr Dev ko tujhe door bhejne ke liye majboor krrr diya."
"Teri zindagi me kabhi khushiyan na aaye Aadhira, tujhe kabhi apne asli parivaar ka pyaar na mile yeh sab maine reassure kiya. Yaad krrr apni zindagi ka wo sabse bura dinn Aadhira."
Darsh felt Aadhira stiffen at the mention but before he could comfort her, she composed herself. Still, he side-hugged her with one hand while pressing her wound with the other, because he knew how calm his embrace could make her feel.
"Bas bahut ho gya Sherni, ab chal yahan se" Darsh tried taking Aadhira but she just remained rooted to her place. He looked at her which made his heart clench in pain, her face was drained of all the colours and emotions just liked it used to be years ago when he first saw her.
"Vo din laane wali bhi mai hi thi. Tu toh bas phasti rhi Aadhira aur mai apne plan me kamyab ho gyi."Menka smirked by the end of the sentence. She knew the mention of that day would definitely get her the expected reaction out of Aadhira but what made her smirk fall was Aadhira's reply.
"Jis beti ke liye tumne itna kuch kiya, usss beti ko toh kabka humane upar pahucha diya Menka" Aadhira smiled as she said it while menka was horrified by the news. "Nhi...aisa nhi ho skta- meri Ruchi! Tumlog aisa nhi krrr skte"
Aadhira leaned forward dangerously making a shiver ran down Menka's spine, "Krrr bhi skti hoon aur krrr bhi diya h mere Darsh ne". Menka cried at the news. "Par roo mat Menka. Tumko bhi wahan bahut jldi pahuchaungi. Wo bhi isss baar mai"
"Tum mujhe nhi marr skti Aadhira" Menka said in utter disbelief.
"Dekh mrna toh tujhe pdega hi, aaj nhi toh kal. Waise bhi tu overtime pe jee rhi h aur Dharti ko uske sabse bhaari bojh se mukt bhi toh krna h mujhe" Aadhira said smirking away.
"Waise bhi dekhne me prabhu se 2-4 dinn hi choti lgti h" Darsh added sarcastically making Menka's eyes widen at their laughing faces. "Jitni purani ye h usse Mujhe toh lgta h Harappa ki khudai me nikli thi."
"So Mrs.Rajvanshi have a good time here until I come back." Aadhira mocked her bidding her farewell.
Both Aadhira and Darsh moved towards the cell door when Menka called out to Aadhira, "Tujhe kya lgta h tera baap badal gya h Aadhira? Toh sunn le woh aaj bhi mere haath ki wahi katputli h. Tujhe wo papers yaad h? Jaa jake dekh aaj bhi uske office me pade h, tere jaane ke baad bhi usne nhi pheke usne."
Aadhira didn't turn back to her but tightened her hold on Darsh so Menka provoked her more by saying, " Tu chahe kuch bhi keh le Aadhira, Phir bhi jeet toh mai gyi hi. Tere parivaar ke liye tere dil me nafrat basa hi di maine. Tere or tere parivaar ke beech aisi diwaar khadi krrr di jisse tu kabhi sapne me bhi na langhna chahe."
"Band krrr do isse!" Aadhira's voice boomer making the whole cell shudder and the female guard immediately nodded, following her orders.
