Avdhesh was puzzled as to what to do now?

Simple knocked at the door and stepped in with a glass of milk for Arpita as she didn't had anything since morning. Avdhesh looked at her to interfere in their talks in hope of some kind of rescue but she left without a single word after placing the glass in front of Arpita on the dressing table.

Avdhesh got that they might have talked about this earlier. He took a deep breath and said, "ok, I will but first have it." And he tried to make her drink the milk.

"Not before you, first you have to take a sip." and she took the glass from his hand to make him drink it.

Avdhesh stopped her hard and put it on her lip to drink the rest of the milk, she had only a sip and backed off and made face, "eeewwww Simple forgot to add sugar or what?"

Avdhesh-"What don't lie haan Arpita it's sweet enough. I have already tasted it."

Arpita-"No I want more sugar In it, go and bring it for me"

Avdhesh-"ok"

Arpita-"oh please leave the glass here I will not spill it, don't worry" and she took the glass from his hand with a smile.

Avdhesh returned in a few minutes with some of sugar while she was sitting at her place, in front of the mirror, she handed him the glass and he added the sugar and mixed it well.

Avdhesh-"come on now have it in one go, and like good a girl come with me." He made her drink it in one go and she drank it without a single word while looking at him, "yes, that's like my Arpita, come on now time to go."

He got up to move but she held his hand.

Arpita-"Anything for you Avdhesh ji , but will you not fulfill my last wish." She looked up with tearful eyes in the mirror while Avdhesh too looked at her reflection in the mirror and stepped toward the vermilion case, he took a pinch of it and applied it at her forehead from behind looking at her in the mirror, her eyes were gazing at him and observing his expressions which were full of love and care, he gazed at her for few minutes with a silent tear floating in his eyes as he wants to save her reflection forever in his eyes.

He couldn't stop himself and held her shoulder across and placed a passionate kiss on her forehead. Both of them took a deep breath as transferring energy to face future events in others.

Avdhesh (his eyes were tightly closed and his lips were still touching her forehead)-"I am sorry Arpita, hope you will forgive me for my selfishness, but I can't die without seeing you happy."

Arpita didn't reply, just another deep breath and "huun"

They both stepped out hand in hand, Avdhesh was escorting her to the mandap, everyone was looking at them in surprise as they were looking as bride and groom.

Avdhesh's eyes were still filled with a bit of tear looking at RV and stepping toward him while Arpita was looking at him with tearful eyes and a sweet smile on her lips.

She stepped in the mandap, and Avdhesh left her hand... they were getting apart but they can't manage to break their eye lock, even Avdhesh was unable to do it after a lot of attempts, and Arpita was smiling at his failure to break the lock of her eyes as well as love.

Marriage rituals were taking place Avdhesh was unaware of it all lost in her eyes so was she.

When it was time to take circles around holy fire Avdhesh start to move with her as he doesn't want to lose the contact of her eyes, Arpita was moving behind RV but smiling at Avdhesh, while he was getting more and more restless with her each step as now he was realizing how far she was going from him.

Simple and RV were confused about what to do in that state, they were like puppets in Avdhesh's hand. Who was adamant to destroy his heaven.

When it came to vermeil Pandit ji said-"What is this, how can she marry when she already has sindoor at her forehead."

Arpita-"Pandit ji, I will marry like this, and if the groom has any objection which he can't I can't help it."

RV indicated pandit ji to not say anything to her, all the while she was looking in Avdhesh's eyes over RV's shoulder.

RV took a pinch of it and was about to put it on her forehead when suddenly she smiled at Avdhesh and closed her eyes.

Avdhesh became more restless. It froze his soul for a second and he gets that there is something really wrong, next second she was falling and he rushed to her and held her before she could hit the floor.

Avdhesh-"Arpita.. Arpita..(he patted at her cheek) Arpita wake up.... Arpita what happened?"

Arpita opened her eyes lightly and smiled at him in his lap-"Avdhes..ji.." she couldn't say it clearly as few drops of blood oozed out from the corner of her lips.

"Arpitaaa.." Avdhesh shouted in shock and shake her hardly "Arpita what is this, what has happened to you." He hugged her tightly and started crying.

Simple and RV were shocked, RV sat beside Avdhesh and tried to calm him down while Simple sat next to Arpita and when Avdhesh held her in his embrace a bottle rolled away on the floor from her hand, Simple noticed it, it was Poison.

Simple-"Avdhesh!" she showed it to Avdhesh which make him understand why she was smiling all the while, he shook her badly and made her smile again which mean she was listening to him.

"Arpita what is this how can you do this to me? You can't cheat me like this Arpita, you can't! are you listening to me, I will not let you do this to me." Avdhesh rebukes her in anger and take her in arms to run to the hospital.

Arpita-"I hope now you will forgive me for my this selfishness Avdhesh ji. I had just one dream to die in your arms and am achieving it, Sorry"

And she lost her consciousness by touching his cheek with her lips.

When they reached the hospital Arpita was almost dead.
