Marriage Vows
Episode 1
It was late at night around 22:00.
Rudrani was late for home, her mother Ruchi was pacing around the hall with phone in her hand , tapping it on her palm from time to time and looking at the clock with worry.
Ruchi Shrivastav
*worriedly moving in the hall while noticing the clock from time to time*
Kaha reh gyi yeh ladki, iske wajah se kisidin meri tabiyat kharab hojaegi!!*angry voice*
(where is this girl left? Because of her I will get sick someday!)
Abhinav Shrivastav
*puts the book down with the sigh*
Fir Abhinav,it was the daily routine of his wife and daughter,he knows just where she is and so does his wife but his wife loves overthinking and taking stress for every trivial matters
Abhinav Shrivastav
Shant ho-
(calm-)
Ruchi Shrivastav
Aap toh kuch bolna he mat!!*snaps Angrily*
(you don't even say a word!)
Abhinav Shrivastav
*flinched slightly*
For Abhinav The sudden outburst wasn't expected from his wife
Ruchi Shrivastav
Maine kaha tha, medical line mei mat bhejiye usko, khatarnak hota hai, ladki safe nhi hai,bhul gye woh 2024 wala case?*voice trembled*
(i had told you don't send her to the medical for pharmacy,these are not safe,did you forget the 2024 case?)
Ruchi's heart trembled remembering the news, how everyone had got scared hearing about it. How horrifying that incident was for every woman,every mother for their daughter.
Abhinav Shrivastav
Ruchi!!*angry voice*
How many times I have told you never talk negative about our daughter!!!
Ruchi Shrivastav
*tears filled her eyes*
Abhinav as a father hates such thoughts about his daughter,any father would rather want to be dead than see such pain
Meanwhile Ruchi who is already worried became emotional
"Ding-Dong"* the bell rang gaining the attention and pausing the upcoming fight
Abhinav Shrivastav
*opens the tablet and checks the security camera*
The penthouse apartment was fully filled with security and update about every movement could be seen with the access which Abhinav solely held.
Ruchi Shrivastav
*already towards the door to open*
"Aj toh pair Tod dungi iss ladki ki!!"
(Today I will literally break the leg of this girl)
The mother institution knew at the gate is none other than her daughter
Ruchi Shrivastav
*opens the door*
Rudrani Shrivastav
*smiles cheekily*
Ruchi Shrivastav
Riya!! Itna late kaise ho jata hai?*angry voice*
(Riya!! How did you get so late)
Rudrani aka Riya , that's what her parents and her close ones call her
Just looked her angry bird mommy and put her arms around her mommy's neck in filmy bollywood style and said
Rudrani Shrivastav
Maa, apko mere aane se pehle kaise pata chal jata hai ki mai aayi hu~*went closer and acts like shah rukh khan*
(maa, how do you know that it's me before i enter?)
Ruchi Shrivastav the mother of the overdramatic Riya just twisted her ears making her wince
Ruchi Shrivastav
*twisted her ear*
Rudrani Shrivastav
Ouch ouch!!*entered inside*
Sorry sorry
Ruchi Shrivastav
Done with the drama?
Rudrani Shrivastav
Sorry mom ouch, leave it's hurting*tears filled her eyes*
Riya is extremely sensitive to pain and the catch behind the cries were she had done a piercing without getting permission from her parents!!
Ruchi Shrivastav
Why are you....*eyes widened and looks at her ear*
Rudrani Shrivastav
Yes*rubs her ear with a small pouty expression towards her mom*
Ruchi was shocked seeing this, because for parents their kids taking any step without their knowledge is just becoming a rebellion
Ruchi Shrivastav
Suniye ji!!*screams angrily*
Rudrani Shrivastav
(and it's started)
Abhinav Shrivastav
Ayga madam kya hua
(yes mam what happened?)
Abhinav very casually came because this was nothing new for him,he is used to this mother daughter argue
Ruchi Shrivastav
See what your daughter has done!!
Abhinav Shrivastav
*looks at riya*
Rudrani Shrivastav
*smiles and shows her new earpiece*
She knew her father is not gonna be mad at her
Abhinav Shrivastav
Wow, it's looking beautiful*smiles*
Ruchi Shrivastav
Beautiful? Apki beti ne kya kia dikha nahi?
(what your daughter did, didn't you see?)
Abhinav Shrivastav
Piercing is amazing!!
Rudrani Shrivastav
Thank pa-
Ruchi Shrivastav
JI!!
(REALLY?)
Abhinav Shrivastav
*flinched slightly*
Ruchi-
Ruchi Shrivastav
Aj apni marzi se ear piercing karwayi hai,kalko shaadi krlegi fir bhi support krte rehna aap
(today she has pierced without our permission and tomorrow she will marry someone without our permission)
Rudrani Shrivastav
Oh mother India shant hojao!!
(calm down)
Abhinav Shrivastav
Relax Ruchi, she just came back,let her rest for now*said gently*
Ruchi just looked at her husband in surprised and then she just shook her head in defeat
Ruchi Shrivastav
Who am I complaining about her anyway ,you will obviously support her no matter what
Abhinav Shrivastav
Ofcourse*smirks at ruchi and winks at riya*
Rudrani Shrivastav
*giggles*
Come on momma, don't lie to me,you really like this,i know*smirks*
Riya again flaunted her ear piercing to mom just to kind of rage bait her which she is good at
Ruchi Shrivastav
You are seriously out of line!!
Shaadi hone do, ekdum line par ajaogi*strict voice*
(after your marriage,you will be disciplined)
Rudrani Shrivastav
*smile fades lightly*
Riya tried to just not think back,not bring back memories of her childhood,those were buried behind
Abhinav Shrivastav
leave it na don't talk about marriage now and how long are we going to stand near the door and talk, let's get inside,riya must be hungry
Rudrani Shrivastav
Umm no, I ate in the cafe with my friends
Ruchi Shrivastav
What did you eat?
She knew another scolding was coming her way
Rudrani Shrivastav
Pizza*low voice*
Ruchi Shrivastav
Dekha!!
Ghar ka khana nahi khaya Jaa rha,pizza ,burger, fhalana sab chala jata hai andar!!
(see!!
Can't eat homemade cooked food,but pizza,burger etc straight away goes inside her stomach)
Abhinav Shrivastav
Okay let it slide for today Ruchi*held her hand*
Abhinav Shrivastav
And Riya, your mom was waiting for too long and tonight's dinner should be finished tomorrow, I don't want her hardwork wasted*stern voice*
Rudrani Shrivastav
Sure papa*nods*
Abhinav does love and slides Riya's mistake but also knows when to keep her grounded.
Rudrani Shrivastav
Sorry mumma after college i straight away went there and then got late,will not happen again
Ruchi Shrivastav
Better take care and next time share live location
Rudrani Shrivastav
Sure,bye good night*smiles and went*
She straight away went to her room and closed the door
Rudrani Shrivastav
*enters her room and went towards the washroom throwing her clothes in the bucket and phone on the bed*
After getting fresh she went back to the bed in her loose night suit to sleep and scroll insta and reels
Rudrani Shrivastav
*bite her lips*
Rudrani Shrivastav
Should I check?
with all the battles in her brain Riya decided to check his profile
The profile of a man who was once her best friend,her supporter,her protector and the one whom she tried to forget but couldn't....
Rudrani Shrivastav
*checks his profile,
Once an innocent boy is now a rockstar,a famous Rockstar
Rudrani Shrivastav
*smiles a bit while looking at his pics*
I am happy that you choose to do what you love*whispers looking at his pics*
Riya used to look follow his profile with unknown account because she fears that maybe if he won't like the idea of her following him on social media.
She won't agree but she stalks him most of the nights.
Listens to his songs that he plays
She has even kept some of her videos saved.
Rudrani Shrivastav
Agar hum milenge wapas....toh kya tum baat karoge Kedarth?*low voice*
(if we meet again,will you talk to me again kedarth?)
Rudrani Shrivastav
Will you.... forgive me?*low voice*
Rudrani Shrivastav
Or....are you still mad?*low voice*
She asks while looking at his pics
Rudrani Shrivastav
*sigh and kepts her phone aside*
Rudrani Shrivastav
I will go crazy if I keep talking to you like that*closed her eyes*
After a while she slept but even in her dreams she met the man who was her one and only guy bestfriend till now.
Even if not near her,he still has the spot of being her best friend
With these thoughts,she drifted off to sleep
REMEMBER YOUR ENCOURAGEMENT MATTERS
episode 2
Aryanshi was in the kitchen with her mom helping her in the breakfast and also cutting veggies for lunch so that it can get easier for her mom to cook.
Sonali Singh
abhi nayi office join ki hai Aru,mai karlungi sab tu Jaa!!
(you are a new joinee aru,I will handle this you go)
But Aryanshi as always ignored her mom's word because for hell she is not going to live her alone with all these bullies around them
Aryanshi Singh
Apki tabiyat abhi thik nahi hui hai maa,let me do
(you are still not Fully recovered,let me help)
Sonali Singh
*looks down silently and cooking*
Sonali as always blamed herself for this situation of her daughter and hers.
After her husband's demise they are staying with her mother and brother in law, as they are carrying whole expenses of theirs.
Aryanshi Singh
itna bada Ghar hai,lekin naukar isiliye nahi rakha kyuki hum maa beti hai uske liye*low voice while cooking*
(such a big house but not a single servant kept because we both are there for that)
Sonali Singh
Aru, unhone humko apne ghar jagah di , teri padhai,meri medicine... everything your Bade papa handles*said softly*
(,they gave us a place to stay in their home, your education,my medical expenses, everything they handled)
Aryanshi Singh
Hmm*looks down and cooking*
Aryanshi knew there was no point in talking to her, because according to her it's all okay,just listen and don't react
Sonali Singh
We are just helping them to not feel like burden and it's completely fine
Aryanshi Singh
Hmm*chopping veggies silently*
Aryanshi didn't want to share how her overweight was getting mocked by her so called family but then it's just a matter of few months then they both will get shifted and then there would be no disturbance to their privacy
Aryanshi Singh
Chalo, it's done I will take my leave will-
Himanshi Singh
Sonali, aryanshi everyone is waiting for breakfast
Himanshi, aryanshi's aunt came there to remind them as it's late for breakfast
Sonali Singh
Ji bhabhi,bass aarhe hai*smiles a bit*
(yes sister in law, just coming)
Aryanshi Singh
I am leaving for office maa,i-
Himanshi Singh
Aryanshi I hope you remember the rules, no going anywhere without breakfast at the table*reminds her*
Aryanshi Singh
*silently nods*
Aryanshi stays silent out of respect and obligations towards her elders and relatives because they don't directly insult these two mother and daughter but some venom words and side taunts , they do humiliate them
The Singh family was at the table with food on the table served by aryanshi and her mom who was covering her face with the saree drape as her elder brother in law also sits there with her grandmother
Sonali Singh
*serving with covering her face till nose*
Aryanshi Singh
*silently serving her uncle and grandmother*
Abheer Singh
Today first day at work?*asked aryanshi*
Aryanshi Singh
Yes bade papa*nods and took her seat*
As Abheer is the eldest and the man, a food and shelter provider,he demands respect and gets it in the family m
He doesn't enter the behind kitchen stuff of family but career wise, education and financial wise keeps everything in check of his family
Abheer Singh
Three months as an intern?
Aryanshi Singh
That's how they said their protocol is bade papa*said politely*
Komal Singh
*busy on her phone while eating*
Komal Singh daughter of abheer and himanshi was there stayed up and watching gossip news and checking her profile
Abheer Singh
Komal,keep the phone down , remember the rules*stern voice*
Komal Singh
Sorry papa, just-
Abheer Singh
Aryanshi when will you be back tonight?
Aryanshi Singh
Will be back soon bade papa,till seven*gently said*
Abheer Singh
Try to come early tonight,we have guest coming
Mahira Singh
beti ki shaadi ki Umar hogyi hai,kuch socha hai tu ne?*mocks sonali*
(your daughter is at the age of marriage,have you thought something?)
Sonali Singh
*silently looks down*
Maa ji, abhi toh nahi*low voice*
Mahira Singh
Aur aise overweight ladki se shaadi karega kon? Jab dekho bass khati rehti hai!*glares at aryanshi*
(and who will marry this overweight girl who keeps eating all the time)
aryanshi wasn't overweight from the start but then since last year since she got pcod her weight started to increase
Aryanshi Singh
*about to take a bite but then she put down*
This was utter humiliation for her and she couldn't speak up even if she wanted to
Abheer Singh
have your food,you shouldn't show your anger on food Aryanshi*looks at her*
Aryanshi Singh
*gulps her tears and took the bite*
These humiliation and utter insults from her grandmother she had to take it and just eat because she couldn't do anything,she was under their rules,she had to follow like she always did despite her hurt
Abheer Singh
Himanshi*looks at his wife*
Himanshi Singh
Ji?*looks at him*
Abheer Singh
These guest are extremely important for us,make sure everything is good and upto the mark okay?
Himanshi Singh
Sure*smiles*
Abheer Singh
*looks at komal*
Komal Singh
Who are these guest? You never seem so invested in hosting before?*frown a bit*
Abheer didn't say a word for a while just stared at komal.
Abheer Singh
Just . ... important,make sure to look your best as always*smiles a bit*
Komal Singh
Don't worry about it, I will
Aryanshi Singh
*silently eating*
Komal Singh
Aryanshi put some diet on even this plus size clothes are making you look fat
Aryanshi Singh
*tightened lightly around the spoon*
aryanshi got lightly triggered by her words but then she controlled her mouth and her eyes
Aryanshi Singh
haan, sahi baat hai
(yes,right thing)
Sonali Singh
*put her hand on her thigh*
Sonali tried to calm aryanshi and tried to console her too but Aryanshi was lost in this,her anger and hurt was blogging her senses
Komal Singh
Don't get me wrong,just an advice because it will get tough finding a man for you, because men want a good looking wi-
Aryanshi Singh
don't worry,I will snatch if yours if i don't get one*said coldly and in anger*
Himanshi Singh
Aryanshi!!*angrily said*
Mahira Singh
Such a mannerless child you are!!
Abheer Singh
Aryanshi even if she said something you are her elder sister, you shouldn't speak like that*cold voice*
Abheer Singh
Aryanshi apologise*cold voice*
Aryanshi Singh
Sorry*said to komal*
Komal Singh
I was just telling out of concern*shrugged off*
aryanshi knew very well ,how much it was out of concern and mock
Aryanshi Singh
*stood up*
I will take my leave, it's my first day at work
Abheer Singh
Take care*nods*
There was clear biasedness seen for their kid even if she is wrong but Aryanshi knew pointing would only bring new arguments which she didn't want so she let them go
Aryanshi Singh
*went from there*
Aryanshi Singh
(just few more days Aryanshi,if everything works well then you can shift somewhere else with your maa)
Aryanshi Singh
Till then tolerate*mumbled while leaving*
Episode 3
Rajveer Chauhan as always came back from the gym in a shorts and tshirt,a disciplined person who values his time more than anything
Rajveer Chauhan
*enters inside the mansion with assistant following behind*
Arpita (Assistant)
You have a meeting with your party today at 9 and then a political rally at 12 on the ground and media will be present to shoot and then a government school inspection also you need to visit as election is coming near
Rajeev Chauhan...A MLA of a small district of Maharashtra was now aiming to become the CM
And for that he would do anything needed to be one
A politician doesn't always play fair if he wants his seat and Rajveer never claimed to be one
Rajveer Chauhan
I will be there in two hours you can leave*cold voice*
The assistant bows lightly in respect and left from there
Rajveer was going towards his room when his little trouble maker came there
Swarnika Maheshwari
Bhai jiiiiiiiiii*screams and ran towards rajveer*
(brother)
Swarnika Maheshwari, rajveer's cousin sister came running towards him in dramatically towards him with a sketch in her hand.
Rajveer Chauhan
*look at the ceiling to control his frustration*
He has somewhere weakness only for a few people and swarnika is closest to him
Swarnika Maheshwari
Bhai ji, bhai ji save me from this monster*hides behind rajveer*
The monster whom swarnika was referring to is none other than her brother Kedarth
Who came there in just trousers,his curls shuffled up and a scowl on his face
Kedarth Maheshwari
*came there with a glare*
Kedarth Maheshwari
Swarnika!!
Swarnika Maheshwari
*flinching slightly and hugs Rajveer from behind*
Rajveer Chauhan
Done?*cold voice*
Kedarth Maheshwari
*looks at him coldly*
Kedarth Maheshwari,the younger brother of Rajveer just stared at him coldly because even if under same roofs, opinions clashed, egos hurt and differences were made.
brotherhood care was obviously there but ego was bigger than it.
Rajveer Chauhan
Talk properly with her*pulls swarnika out*
Swarnika Maheshwari
Bhai ji, bhaiya meri phone check kar rha tha isiliye maine unka sketch le liya!
(brother, kedarth was checking my phone so I took his sketches)
Kedarth Maheshwari
Because you were talking to a boy!*snaps angrily*
Why didn't you add that?
Swarnika Maheshwari
Haan toh? dost he toh hai*looks away*
(so? He is just a friend)
Kedarth Maheshwari
Liar!!*screams*
Swarnika Maheshwari
*hugs Rajveer in fear*
Swarnika knows whom to run to whenever she fucks things up or gets no solution for
Rajveer has been gentle only towards her in the whole mansion to keep her innocence in place and keep her protected in the cruel world all around
Rajveer Chauhan
*wraps his arms around her shoulder in a protective way*
Rajveer Chauhan
Swarnika, tell me is he lying or you?*gentle tone*
Kedarth Maheshwari
*looks at Rajveer*
Kedarth Maheshwari
(he still won't trust me,what was i expecting he will take my side?)
Her sister couldn't lie to him,she just knows he will find out no matter what
Rajveer already knew the answer but wanted to hear from her
Swarnika Maheshwari
C.. crush hai bass bhai ji*low voice*
(he is just a crush brother)
Kedarth Maheshwari
Dekha!! Apne bhai par toh apko kabhi bharosa tha....*stops and looks away clenching his jaw*
(saw!!
you never trusted your brother...)
Kedarth stopped because there was no use of quarreling with him
He knows Rajveer is stubborn,cruel and has no heart for anyone,all he cares now is power and reputation
Rajveer Chauhan
*took the sketch from her hand and gave back to Kedarth*
Here, have it*calm yet cold voice*
Kedarth Maheshwari
*took it silently with a glare*
Rajveer Chauhan
Swarnika it's neither your age nor are the boys trustable, i want no such things again,hmm?*gentle tone*
Swarnika Maheshwari
Bhai ji it's normal-
Rajveer Chauhan
Swarnika*stern voice*
Swarnika Maheshwari
*looks down and nods*
Rajveer Chauhan
Good,now go you have final semester and I want no distractions*caress her hair gently*
Swarnika knew this is not the time to quarrel or talk back to him and Rajveer is very gentle towards her but she doesn't dare to see the other side of him.
Meanwhile kedarth just never cares which side he is poking of Rajveer because he isn't scared of his sadistic nature which Rajveer keeps it hidden
Kedarth Maheshwari
the same thing i said and you didn't agree,now happy?*mocks angrily*
Swarnika Maheshwari
*left from there silently*
Rajveer Chauhan
Be nice to her Kedarth,she is a kid*cold voice*
Kedarth Maheshwari
*snorts*
At least i am who I am, I don't keep cleaning my image*coldly said and left*
Rajveer Chauhan
*looks at kedarth for a few seconds and then left inside*
Rajveer was used to Kedarth mocks and taunts and never said back to him because deep down both the brothers knew kedarth would always stay safe from his dark side.
His darkness would never hurt a few people who Matters to him
The breakfast time Rajveer was present and didn't bother to wait for anyone else and started his breakfast silently as he had a fully packed schedule fixed for today
But slowly everyone else came there on the table
Rajveer Chauhan
*silently having his food on the head of the table*
Swarnika Maheshwari
*sitting with her breakfast and clicking snaps of the food*
Kedarth Maheshwari
*busy checking his own schedule*
Maa I have to go to the studio today,will be late
Monali Maheshwari
Okay will prepare food accordingly and send you*nods*
Kedarth Maheshwari
Thanks*nods*
Suraj Maheshwari
Ever thinking to join business? Or am I the only one going to handle with brother?*cold voice*
Suraj and Monali, parents of kedarth and Swarnika were just not so happy with the passion he chose but didn't object much because of one person sitting on the head of the table who was currently silently having his breakfast
Swarnika Maheshwari
Don't worry papa agar Bhai ji aur bhaiya nahi karenge toh mai hu na!! Meri MBA khatam hone ke baad I will handle it*said proudly*
(if both the brothers don't want then I am there to handle it after my MBA)
Kedarth Maheshwari
Pehle instagram aur snapchat ki duniya se bahar nikal fir business handle Krna*eyes rolled*
(first come out of the world of insta and snaps then handle business)
Monali Maheshwari
Aur teri shaadi ho jayegi,Tere dahej mei khandani business business thodi denge*teasing her*
(and after you get married we won't be giving our whole family business in dowry)
Swarnika Maheshwari
Mai nahi krungi shaadi*mumbled with a pout*
Swarnika Maheshwari
(I won't marry)
Jyoti Maheshwari
Kaisi baat kar rhi ho? *strict tone*
(what nonsense are you speaking)
Rajveer Chauhan
*fingers slightly tightened around the spoon hearing her voice*
Rajveer's step mother entered there with grace and look of a elderly queen on her face as if she rules everywhere
And just her voice triggers Rajveer enough to squeeze the life out of her
Swarnika Maheshwari
badi mummy..woh-
(aunt that-)
Jyoti Maheshwari
Shaadi har ladki ki hoti hai, aur yeh rules hai, tumhe bhi follow Krna he hoga, aage se mujhe nhi sunna aisa kuch*strict voice*
(every girl needs to marry it's the rule and you will also follow this rule, i don't want to hear this again)
Swarnika Maheshwari
*looks down*
Kedarth Maheshwari
zarur kregi shaadi,lekin lekin unmarried Ladke se kisika ghar tod kar nhi*cold voice*
(of course she will marry,but with an unmarried person,she won't be a home breaker)
That just heated jyoti with an anger but Rajveer as always didn't say anything, infact on the rage bait of kedarth he wouldn't even support like once
Jyoti Maheshwari
*jaw clenched*
Suraj Maheshwari
Kedarth*stern voice*
Swarnika Maheshwari
*looks at kedarth*
Kedarth Maheshwari
meri behen ki shaadi ki fikar woh toh bilkul naa kare jisko rules and ethics ka matlab he nahi pata*cold voice*
(the person who doesn't know the basic difference between rules and ethics shouldn't be lecturing my sister)
Jyoti was utterly filled with anger hearing such words from kedarth that she just screamed at his mother
Monali Maheshwari
*flinched slightly*
Sorr-
Rajveer Chauhan
*puts his glass down with a little noise gaining the attention*
Rajveer was done with the rage bait and insults and all the drama for today.
Rajveer Chauhan
Basic rules starts with no arguments on the table, I hope I am clear*calm yet cold voice*
Kedarth Maheshwari
*just looks at his food and eats keeping his thoughts to himself*
The silence from kedarth was out of respect and anger towards his brother but he didn't want to argue anyways with him
Jyoti Maheshwari
Rajveer beta*said gently*
Rajveer Chauhan
*pinches the bridge of his nose to control*
Raghav Maheshwari
*Came there*
Rajveer I have to discuss something,in my cabin now*cold voice*
Raghav Maheshwari
it's regarding your election*cold voice*
Rajveer silently followed him inside
Because for him obviously election is important and so is something he has kept a secret for so long too.
