Somewhere in Delhi.. a girl was opening the window of her room and feeling the evening breeze with her eyes closed.. and humming a song at the same time...
[Ek Villain returns - Dil]
Phir Agar Mujhe Tu Kabhi Naa Mile...
Humsafar Mera Tu Bane Naa Bane...
Faaslon Se Mera.. Pyaar Hoga Naa Kam
Tu Naa Hoga Kabhi Ab Judaah
Maine Tera Naam Dil Rakh Diya
Maine Tera Naam Dil Rakh Diya
Dhadkega Tu Mujhme Sadaa..
Maine Tera Naam Dil Rakh Diya
Tere Waaste Kabhi Mera
Ye Pyaar Naa Hoga Kam
Maine Tera Naam Dil Rakh Diya
Maine Tera Naam Dil Rakh Diya
Dhadkega Tu Mujhme Sadaa
Maine Tera Naam Dil Rakh Diya
She come out her own daze when someone enter her room after knocking..
"My daughter is missing her mom" An old lady came to her room with a tray... The girl did not reply and took the tray from her and placed it on her own desk and said, "Why did you bother to come? You could have called me." This girl was none other than Dhvani..
"Then how would I get a chance to hear your melodious voice" the old lady.., her grandmother 'Ridhi Rajpurohit.. 68' said while smiling..
She imagining her aunt and said "Save this butter for breakfast... Chachi will be happy"
Her grandmother started laughing after hearing this.. she shook her head and said "Oh my child I am not buttering you up, really your melodious voice is like your mother's.." Dhvani again pay no heed to her grandmother's words...seeing this Ridhi gestured her to sit next to her on the bed.....
Dhvani sat down without any tantrums.. Ridhi put her hand on her's and told her "I understand your anger.. but it's been so many years now.. accept it now.."
"No you don't understand.. if you could then you wouldn't have said this" Dhvani was looking everywhere except her grandmother's eyes...
"Dhvani.. Your father and mother loved you a lot.. I understand, you have not yet come to terms with their death.. You must be angry with them that they left you and went far away.. But my child, the world doesn't end with someone's death. You still have a lot to do in your life and you also have to fulfill your father's dream..., right?" She began to explain to her..
" I also want to fulfill his dream... that's why I am working so hard... but he is not with me to see that" Dhvani's eyes stinging due to her continuing to hold back her tears..
"Who said they are not with you or are not watching you" A smile came on Dhvani's face and she said, "Please dadi.. Now don't say that after death they have become stars and keep watching me.., I am not immature anymore."
Hearing her words, Ridhi Rajpurohit started laughing.. No matter what happens, Dhvani manages to control herself in the end..Till date no one has seen her cry after the death of her parents. She has made herself so strong that she can handle every pain and trouble without taking anyone's help .
"Okay, finish your studies and come for dinner soon, otherwise your aunt will create havoc in the house." Ridhi said smilingly while going out of her room..
As soon as the room door was closed, dhvani sighed and went towards her table where her grandmother had brought tea and some snacks for her on a tray...
"This old lady still thinks I'm a little girl" She murmured and started studying, in between she was sipping tea and eating snacks too..
Don't think of her as a rude... she has endured so much at a young age that she doesn't feel attached to anyone anymore.. But even if she doesn't want to, deep inside she worries and takes care of everyone.. Especially those who love her without any greed...
Her parents died when she was only 16 years old.. 'Dhruv Rajpurohit and Vamika Rajpurohit'.. Being the sole heir of her parents, she made herself such that no one could defeat her...
Because as her age increased and time passed, she started recognizing people's real faces. She had understood that there would be many people to bring her down, but to lift her up there is only she herself...
Her parents had already made a will for her... and it is clearly mentioned in it that if she does not get married before her 23rd birthday, then all this property and money will be donated to charity..
And this fact is not hidden from anyone, everyone in the family knows this... her grandmother and her grandfather 'Ekaansh Rajput' have been trying to convince her for marriage since she was turned 20 years old. They tried a lot, but she has not agreed till now...
Her grandparents don't want to go against her happiness.. and impose any of their decisions on her.. But they cannot let go of the property earned by their son like this.. There's rightful owner has a right over it and she should get it...
If not today then tomorrow she will have to accept this and before the next year starts she will have to get married... And that is why they invited someone for dinner today: who can explain it to her properly...

It was night, the sun had set completely and the moon was shining brightly along with the stars in the sky..
Rajpurohit's family was sitting at the dining table for dinner.. Rajpurohit family did not look middle class in appearance.. but their thinking was such.. they would spend only where they thought it was important....
[A/N: You can also call them miser]
'Viraj Rajpurohit.. 45' who has his own hotels, restaurants, malls.. Dhvani grandfather had given equal shares to both his sons.., but still he gives more importance to Dhvani property's.. it is said that 'the more the person get, the more less for them' this line describes her uncle very well...
'Diya Rajpurohit... 40' her aunt who never hesitates in making her realise that she no longer has parents... It has become a routine for them to scold and taunt her everyday for small things... But especially her aunt, who tortures her more in everyone's absence, has even raised her hand on her several times...
Everyone was sitting to eat when they heard the sound of someone's footsteps. Everyone understood who it was but no one turned their face except Ridhi Rajpurohit....
"Oh Bachi you have come.. come let's dim it together" Ridhi said to her..
"No dadi, you continue... anyway many people will object to me sitting here" this girl was none other than Dhvani...
Hearing this, her aunt looked at her with sharp-eyes which Dhvani just scoffed at... "You don't need to throw daggers at me with your eyes: you can do it for real..."
"Look at her now... Her tongue is getting sharper day by day" her aunt hissed..
Dhvani was amazed by her aunt's reaction and said, "That was bound to happen.. When you can have your shooting eyes then why not my sharp tongue, hmm?"
"Dhvani.." her uncle scowl.. "If you don't want to eat then don't eat.. there is no need to create a scene here"
"To be honest, I had no such plan.. I just came to get water.." Saying this she went to the kitchen without paying attention to anyone...
Dhvani was filling water in the bottle.. then she felt that someone was behind her.. She turned her face and when she looked there, there was a boy standing who was grinning after seeing her from top to bottom..
Lust was obvious in his eyes, seeing which Dhvani clenched her fist.. And utter "I did not know that the guest of this house who is staying here for longer time, keeps loitering around in his host's house without of any ounce of shame.."
"Wow.., feisty huh? But I like this too.. and as far as the guest is concerned.. then I am not that.. but I am ready to become the son-in-law of this house.. What say?" He came close to her and said, whose smile grew even more..
"Tsk.. Tsk.. What a shameless and scrap head person you are.. you have no shame in casting dirty eyes on your own sister.. she is your bua's daughter.. bonehead.." she stated..
Smirking he saying to her…"Oh you are so innocent.. maybe you made a mistake in judging me. I had lustful eyes.., not on my sister but on her beloved elder father's daughter.. meaning you"
'Ved Gupta.. 25' Diya Rajpurohit only nephew.. who lives with the Rajpurohit family because he helps to viraj, handling his multiple works .. but there is another reason for him to be here.. And the reason Dhvani... From starting he has his lustful eyes on her..
"I have never seen a worse person than you in my life and I never want to see one" She could not hold back her arrogance for him and spoke..
"Watch your tongue..." A voice came from the other side of the kitchen.. which Dhvani knew very well but without looking at her she said.. "It is good that you came.. you were the only thing missing"
"I told you to watch your tongue... just because you are older than me doesn't mean you can say anything to me."
Her aunt's daughter 'Prisha Rajpurohit.. 20' A spoil spoiled girl who only knows how to spend money.. If there is anyone who can extract money from Viraj and Diya then it is her... She is not good at studies at all. She only knows how to hang out with her friends; who are older than her..
"Oh you just keep quiet.. you will make me understand the respect of elders and younger ones.. for that first you should have that much understanding.."
"So you are indirectly calling me a fool"
"No, but if that's how you think of yourself then take it as a compliment, babe.. " She said while shrugged off..
Before they could say anything, their grandmother's voice came from outside "Dhvani, come here.. someone has come to meet you"
Dhvani looked at them for the last time and went away... As soon as she came out, she looked at that person and said "Aap" (you)

It was night time and a cold breeze was blowing... A girl and a man were sitting there.. No one said anything, they were just looking at the nearby houses or the stars...
The girl sighed and finally asked "Why did you come here.. If you come to talk about the same thing as before then I will say sorry in advance.. I respect you a lot.. But the thing that you guys are demanding is beyond my reach"
That man kept the glass of water on the table and said smilingly, "Yes, I have come to spell out all this to you again. You should understand daughter, if not today then you will have to do this tomorrow... I cannot handle everything alone in entire life..."
"I know Uncle and I am not refusing to take care of all that.. but why so much hurry, I haven't even completed my college yet"
"You yourself know the answer.. We have to do all this before your birthday, Dhvani.. If we had some other option, I would not have put pressure on you.." That man is 'Mustafa Khan..49' who is her father's best friend and personal lawyer.. After the death of her parents he took care over all their business..
"And if you have problem with this decision then we can do one thing.. 'Contract marriage'.. Once your work is done or you learn to handle the business yourself, then you can be free from this marriage.. what do you say?" Dhvani looking at Mustafa with disbelief. She couldn't believe the idea her uncle was giving her...
"But Uncle, marriage is such a big thing.. We can't ruin anyone's life for this weird reason." She was unable to comprehend this..
"Where did the matter of spoiling life come in this, I am a lawyer and I know this thing very well, many people do this.. And if the other party also wants the same? ... then will you agree to this" He asked.
Dhvani got into thinking.. she had no intention of getting married and that too not so soon.. she thought 'but this option doesn't seem wrong.. and if the other party is also mutual then what is the harm in this matter'
She looked at Mustafa who was waiting for her answer...
"Ok, I am ready.. but this matter should remain between us only and what to add in that contract: I will tell you when you find that other party.." Mustafa gave her a sly smile seeing which Dhvani lifted her left brow..
"Nothing.. but you be ready.. I will find that boy in this one week"
"Oh you took this as a challenge" They both started laughing...
And after talking for a while Mustafa left from there.. But before leaving he gave this good news at home that Dhvani has agreed...and in a week she will also go on a date with a boy..
All the people were happy with this, some were genuine and some were pretentious. Those people knew that this thing is not as simple as it seems.. because it is not a common thing to dhvani suddenly agree with the marriage thing..
There was someone among them who was burning from inside.. as if his whole body was on fire.. he was looking at Dhvani's smiling face with raze.. 'You are seems so happy right..?, don't be afraid, I might turn your smile into tears' he thought. It was none other than Ved...
