SCENE I

"𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥? 𝘜𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵? 𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘦, 𝘉𝘌𝘛𝘙𝘈𝘠𝘌𝘋 𝘔𝘠 𝘛𝘙𝘜𝘚𝘛?" he yelled angrily at her

Ruhi flinched

Veerendra tried to calm the situation. "𝘠𝘢𝘴𝘩 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘢, 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘮 𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘯. 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘢 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘣𝘦𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴."

Yash turned his gaze towards Veerendra. "𝘈 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘰𝘯? 𝘚𝘩𝘦'𝘴 𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘪𝘥, 𝘥𝘢𝘥! 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘺 𝘮𝘦?

Ruhi's heart clenched painfully as she listened to Yash's harsh words about her. "𝘈 𝘮𝘢𝘪𝘥....𝘠𝘢𝘴𝘩? 𝘐𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘦𝘦 𝘮𝘦 𝘢𝘴?" she thought and she took a step back, as though the words had physically pushed her away. The pain of unrequited love and the realization that he saw her as nothing more than a "𝘮𝘢𝘪𝘥"...kya aapne mujhe apna dost bhi nahi mana Yash....

SCENE II

"Yash, you're drunk," Ruhi said softly, her voice tinged with concern.

"Don't you dare tell me what I am!" Yash slurred, his words laced with anger and bitterness. He stomped towards her and grabbed her arms in a tight grip.

"Yash leave me....ahhhh...,ple...please, you're hurting me," Ruhi pleaded, her eyes filling with tears.

"Are you happy now? Marrying a wealthy man like me, you thought you'd hit the jackpot, didn't you? You've ruined my life," he accused bitterly.

"No, Yash, you're mistaken. I didn't marry you for your money," Ruhi replied, her voice pained.

Yash's anger boiled over, and he shoved her against the dressing table, shattering the mirror into pieces. Ruhi felt her head spin as blood trickled down from a deep cut.

Ignoring her pain, Yash grabbed her arm again, pushing her forcefully to the floor. "You can never occupy a place in my heart, and I will never love you!" "Remember this, you're not my wife. You never will be. You're just a replacement for Natasha. Now get out!" he spat, his words dripping with venom.

"The man I've loved for so many years...today he's saying I married him for money. Why, Yash, why don't you have even a little trust in me? You've known me since childhood, then why?" Her words echoed with anguish and betrayal.

"How can I explain why I married you? I know that even if I tell the truth, you won't believe me. I don't have any proof to show you..." Ruhi lamented, her voice heavy with frustration and helplessness.

I- I pro...promise jis din sab saach apke samne ayega usi din mei kudh apko chorke bohot dur chali jaungi....si-sirf sahi waqt aane dijiye...
