I don't hate her. I just don't like her. Both are different ╰┈➤ Ekansh Raghuwanshi.

His client gave a partnership to Ajay's company. They were ready to give the partnership to but suddenly they changed their decision. It was weird because just like this partnership many more deals went to Ajay's company. But he thought that maybe Ajay was just buying them to irritate him.
Harshvardhan's company was his brother's startup and after his death it passed on to Ekansh but Ekansh was too young to handle anything so he started taking care of the company until Ekansh reached a mature age. Ekansh refused the company when he was 24 and become COO.
Harshwardhan has a 20 percent share while Ekansh and Twinkle have 34 and 34 percent shares. While 12 percent of the shares are of the person who helped Ekansh's father to start the business.
Ekansh too works with Harshwardhan. He has been learning from him about his business. They own a software company named, Digicom. It's a software company which develops softwares. Ekansh and Twinkle respect him so much because even if this business was started by their father. But Harshwardhan was the one who took his company from scratch to the top.
Harshwardhan pressed his eyes in frustration because he remembered someone again. The one whom he loved for his whole life.
Harshvardhan was married to a girl named Roshni forcefully by his mother but he got to know that someone had bought her from a brothel and married her to him for just 2 lacs.
When Harshvardhan went inside the room on his wedding night to finally talk about how he was forced into marriage by his mother and tell her about his ex-girlfriend, he got to know about Roshni's story.
And the big problem was that Roshni was a minor. She was only 16 when she was married. In a rage, Harsh started pouring his anger on his mother.
"Do you even know what did you do? You married a minor and it's a crime." He shouted at her.
She rolled her eyes, "So what? I too married your father when I was 15. It's not a big thing"
He slammed his fist on the wall in anger, "Where are they who sold her here?"
She sighed, "Harsh, please I don't want you to wait for that indecent woman for your life. She too married that man. She will live her life peacefully but you? I want your happiness too my dear child."
Harshvardhan glared at her, "Your emotional blackmail won't work now. You already forced me to marry Roshni but now when I know that you don't even have a brain to distinguish between right or wrong then I won't take your orders from now on."
Suddenly she placed her hand on her chest and screamed painfully. He panicked and caught her when she was falling. He realized that maybe she was having a heart attack again.
This was the only reason he stopped saying anything disrespectful to her. Whenever he started blabbering ill about her she started using her weak heart as an excuse to emotionally blackmail him.
He didn't say anything to his mother but confronted Roshni that he was going to send her to a hostel to study and made her believe that she was not married.
He gave her some papers and told her that it was divorce papers though it wasn't. They were just normal papers as they can't divorce just after marriage.
She went to the hostel though Jyoti, Harsh's mother did some drama saying that she couldn't let her go anywhere as Roshni was now her daughter-in-law but Harsh handled her.
Roshni was in contact with him as he was the only one she could trust as a friend. After she turned 21 she told Harshvardhan about her boyfriend.
That day Harshwardhan told her about the truth that they were still married and if she wanted to marry her boyfriend then she had to divorce him first. They told this to her boyfriend too and he accepted the truth.
After some days they married and Harsh told them to break contact with him as it wouldn't be good to tell the world that she was his ex-wife. It would be dangerous for them too.
They willingly broke the contact with him and went away to their own path with a new beginning.
He still remembers the day when her girlfriend broke his trust, the one he really truly loved.
Harsh POV
I wasn't really happy with my life. When my father died my life had become so dark that I started keeping myself away from everyone but now after meeting Anu, my heart started beating again.
My bhaiya and bhabhi tried to make me feel better so they forced me to go to college and make friends with others. My 10-year-old nephew also tried his best to make me feel better by giving me his candies. My mother also suggested I go and live my life like a normal person and there I met her, my Anu.
I was not interested in her but then she started stalking me. Maybe she thinks that I don't know but I know everything from the beginning so one day I cornered her and asked her what was going on with her. Why was she stalking me like that and then she told me that she likes me?
I kept blushing over her confession and eventually, I accepted her proposal.
We dated for 2 years. But for two days I wasn't able to contact her. Maybe she was busy but it never happened in these two years. In these two years, many things happened. When my bhaiya Bhabhi died in an accident, she was there for me. I too used to help her in every way. When her father was diagnosed with a disease she was scared about the money. But I just wanted her to smile so I helped her too. I love her.
But then my heart almost stopped when I heard that she was going to marry and that too with Ajay Bedi.
He is so popular in this college. He is basically a bully, a Playboy, and a disgusting man. He always tries to misbehave with many girls.
Anu baby, what the hell are you doing?
I was in the wedding hall when I saw her standing beside Ajay. I so badly wish to strangle that man with my hands.
That man looked at me and smirked. I wish I could just kill him but I need to talk with her. I stood behind the curtain when she stepped down from the pavilion. She went inside while I saw Ajay looking at me with a smirk. I clutched the curtains in anger but ignored him. I can't let my doll marry this beast. No never.
I went behind her with my friend and knocked on the door, "Anu" I called her but she didn't reply. Anxiety caught up in my heart as she wasn't replying.
"Anu please open the door. Tell me what is going on here. Why are you doing this with me? What did I do wrong with you? Did I ever do something that you didn't like then why are you doing this? Please Anu, please answer me." I said as I was desperate to know what was going on.
"Harsh, go back. Don't ruin my wedding" she said breaking my heart into millions of pieces.
"Anu, what are you saying?" I asked as she wasn't opening the door. She doesn't mean it right?
I kept banging the door and pleaded, "Anu I know you don't want this marriage. Let's run away from here. I promise I will never leave your hand in any situation. I love you Anu, please." I said as tears flowed from my eyes.
"Go away Harsh, I don't love you anymore. I love Ajay." Her reply didn't reach to my heart. I refuse to believe that she love him.
"You don't and I won't even believe it." I said still holding the hope that she love me.
"What could you even give me Harsh? You don't have anything you could give me. You are struggling with your company but I don't want to join you. I hate you" she said which broke my heart. She is lying. I am sure she is forced to marry him. She is saying this so I could hate her, I know.
"I won't believe it." I pleaded helplessly, "Flower, Why? Why are you doing this with me?" I didn't hear anything else.
I felt my friend keeping his hand on my shoulder and saying something. I don't know what he said but I just wanted to hear her words.
I squeezed my eyes. My friend shook me saying, "Harsh someone is coming let's go" I looked at the door and said to myself, "Leave it"
I went with him but while going outside I saw Anu's father coming towards me.
He smiled and asked, "Beta I didn't recognize you."
I averted my eyes and told him, "I am Anamika's classmate."
He nodded and said, "Khana kha ke jana" (Go after you eat.)
I closed my eyes as I didn't want to shout here. I don't want to do anything which will ruin Anu's image.
I nodded lightly and asked, "Will Anu come to the college after marriage to complete her studies?"
He gave a smile which looked like a fake one, "I can't decide that now. My daughter is getting married so it will be decided by her husband and in-laws. But I will try to persuade them to let her go to the college."
I don't know what to do now. Should I tell him about us?
"Uncle" he looked at me, "I am Harshvardhan Raghuwanshi"
His smile fell and he averted his eyes in tension. So it looks like Anu told him about me.
He cornered me, "Please get out of here right now"
I just looked at him helplessly, "I love her uncle."
He glared at me, "Stay away from Anu. She doesn't need you. She is happy with this marriage so please get out of here. Please don't ruin our image."
"Please uncle think about it again Ajay is not a goo-" he stopped me by showing his palm, "Shut your mouth. I don't need your approval on my daughter's life. I know what is good for my daughter."
I looked at him in disbelief he didn't even want to listen to me anymore, "I believe that you are forcing your daughter into this marriage but I can't believe that she agreed to you leaving me. She made fun of my love for her. I am warning you, she is going to suffer in this marriage just because of you"
He glared at me saying, "I already said that I don't want your approval for my daughter's marriage. I know very well about guys like you. You lure our daughters and -"
I started going away unable to hear anything because I wouldn't be able to control myself and would yell at him but then I turned around and said to him, "Your daughter would suffer in this marriage more than I am suffering without her. Mark my words. You too will regret it and bet it the day you'll need me the most, I'll make fun of you all."
He averted his eyes in anger and said, "Get out of here"
For the last time, I looked back at Anu. She was sitting on the mandap whilst Ajay made her wear the nuptial chain. And like that, I buried my love for her in my heart.
Our love story ended here leaving this ache in my heart. Even if I said those awful words about her but I want her to be loved. Want her to be happy. I hope she will be happy with - A-Ajay.
Harshvardhan woke up from that small nap and went back to his house.

Tara went to Bedi's mansion and saw her Mama, Ajay Bedi talking on the phone seriously. When he saw her, he gave a smile to her which she didn't return.
He came toward her and said, "Tara, please talk with your mami. She looks like she is sad" She glared at him, "You hit her again didn't you?"
He shook his head, "No, atleast not this time "
Tara shook her head and went upstairs. Her gaze fell on her Mami, Mrs. Anamika Bedi. She was lying on the bed like a dead person but when she felt a presence in her house she looked toward Tara.
"Tara" she whispered gently but painful voice.
Tara immediately took her in her embrace. Tara started crying but Anamika didn't even shed a tear like her all tears dried up.
"Mami, what happened? You don't look okay" she asked finally wiping her eyes.
She gave her a painful smile and caressed her cheek, "How are you, my child?"
"I am okay but what happened Mami did he Hit you again?"
She shook her head and said, "No"
"Then why?" She asked in confusion.
Anamika took a deep breath and diverted her question, "You tell me. How is your relationship with your husband? Did he accept you?"
Tara shook her head in disappointment, "No, he behaves like I am some kind of disease that he didn't want to even look at me. I am the only one who is trying in this marriage though I, myself married him forcefully but he should have started feeling something for me didn't he? He had never shown his interest but you know I am going to win his heart. I had already lived my whole life feeling ignored. Everyone hated me. I never even asked them to stay with me. You know I never had anyone with me. Mumma left me. Dadda left me. I don't even have friends because they ended up hating me and I even left my career.
That day I saw Ekansh my only love once again. I told about him to our biggest enemy, Mama. I still wonder why he helped me but I was relieved that he helped me. He had even given my mother's money that she left after her death to Jyoti dadi as a dowry. When I married him I felt that he wasn't happy but I was somewhat happy that I married him. I decided that I would earn his heart by any means but his family didn't like me. Dadi like me a little bit but I get irritated with her fucking taunts and shouts. Twinkle also didn't like me and I don't mind. I deserve her hate but She calls me stupid and the idiot who didn't even have self-respect. And Chacha ji, he never talked to me even if I try to conversate with him and Advay, that fucking piece of trash didn't even come out from his smelly room"
"She is right " Anamika said with black eyes.
"Huh?"
"She is right Chikoo. You shouldn't shatter your self-respect for love." she said painfully as tears pricked her eyes with her straight face.
Tara caressed her cheeks in concern, "Mami, something had happened didn't it?"
Tara asked suspiciously. She shook her head with a broken smile, "No, Chikoo."
Ajay Bedi came inside. Anamika flinched and lowered her head looking at him. He looked at Tara and said coldly, "I want to talk to you."
Tara nodded and stood up. Hugging her again tightly, she said goodbye to her. Anamika's smile fell and now she started crying. Her life had already become hell by marrying Ajay. She regrets marrying him.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh," she cried hard remembering 2 nights before night. She clutched the bedsheet and ripped it, "HARSH" she cried again remembering her ex-boyfriend.
Meanwhile, Ajay was talking with Tara.
"Do you understand what I said?" Tara glared at him, "No I won't betray my family."
Ajay squinted his eyes and smirked, "You have to"
She snapped at him, "I am not like your wife who'd do anything you say"
He grabbed her arm tightly, "You will or should I tell Ekansh about what happened with you that year. Being a man myself I know how would he react when he found know about that incident. And -" he paused and smirked, "He didn't even love you then how would he even support you? He would despise you when he would know that you licked another man's-"
Tara gulped in fear when she remembered that day. Tara nodded meekly, "Fine"
✧
Ekansh was with his friend, Shekhar in a cafe, "Shekhar, I swear I really want to divorce her but she is not signing it. Tell me something I could do taki wo bas mujhe divorce de hi de" Ekansh said in irritation. (So that she just gives me a divorce)
Shekhar smirked, "I have a plan bro but I wonder if you would do that"
Ekansh arched his brow and said when he felt that Shekhar was trying to challenge him, "You know me Shekhar. You fucking know me how much I love challenges don't you?"
Shekhar smirked, "It'll hurt her to that level that she would ask you to divorce her."
Ekansh gave her a confusing smile. Shekhar looked here and there and leaned in,
"Rape her"
Ekansh's eyes widened in anger and he gritted his teeth in anger, "Bastard do you even know what you are saying?"
Shekhar nodded with a sly smile, "Yeah bro and don't worry if she case on you. It'll be declined in court as marital rape is nothing"
Ekansh grabbed his collar and warned him, "Agar fir kabhi aise ideas diye to jaan le lunga samjha" (If you ever give me such ideas again, I will kill you, understood?) his angry and red eyes scared him and he chuckled in fear, "No bro I was just kidding, you don't have to do anything like that. Just pretend that you want to rape her. She would get scared by herself."
"Believe me you would be safe while she would ask for divorce by herself."
This time he grabbed his throat, "Don't ever come infront of me ever again or I might kill you."
He left him with a jerk and went to his home while Shekhar gritted his teeth, "Tujhe to mai kahi ka nhi chodunga." (I won't leave you.)

In-home,
It was dinner time, Ekansh who was in his room walked towards the stairs but saw Twinkle biting her nails in irritation.
"What?" He asked in confusion.
She looked at him and pouted in frustration, "Wo pagal budhiya dining table pe baith ke mujhe galiya de rahi hai wo bhi Veer aur uski family ke samne." (That crazy old lady is sitting at the dining table and abusing me, that too in front of Veer and his family)
He chuckled and said, "Then let's ignore her"
Twinkle but her lower lip to control her laugh, "Are you sure?"
Ekansh casually said, "Leave the consequences to me"
They both went to the dining hall controlling their smiles. In the dining hall, Jyoti was bitching about Twinkle to Viraj and his family. She was saying, "Bhale hi meri poti ko koi kaam nhi aate par uska dil bohot saaf hai. Wo kuch bhi bana leti hai. Ye jo bhi khana rakha hai sab isi me banaya hai." (Even though my granddaughter is not good at anything, she has a very pure heart. She can cook anything. All the food that is kept here is cooked in her only.) Their gaze fell on them.
Jyoti gasped and started cursing her again, "Besharm, sharam nahi aati aise kapde pahan ke niche aa gayi." (Shameless, don't you feel ashamed of coming down wearing such clothes)
Twinkle scoffed, "maine simple kurti aur jeans pehna hai koi bikini nhi." ( I am wearing a simple kurti and jeans, not any bikini.)
Jyoti gritted her teeth in anger and silently ate her dinner trying not to embarrass herself again.
In the meantime, Harshwardhan also came and greeted Viraj and his family. Viraj touched his feet, "Namaste chacha ji"
Harshvardhan smiled at him, "Namaste beta. Are you fine?"
He nodded enthusiastically, "Yes"
Harshvardhan nodded happily, "That's good." Jyoti thought about giving them an invitation, "In one week we are going to celebrate my son's marriage anniversary so you all have to come please."
Viraj's father curiously asked knowing very well about Ekansh and Tara's relationship as Twinkle had told them, "You are going to celebrate their anniversary?"
Tara who was listening from inside the kitchen smiled shyly waiting for their reply. She had always despised the fact that Harshvardhan always talked with Viraj with sweet words but never even talked with her. She is not interested in talking to him either but she feels that barrier from their family where she feels that they are hiding something from her.
"Yeah, we are. We hadn't decided on this but then I thought that it would be a great idea to know some renown businessmen at this party." Harsh told him with a tired face.
Tara heard his words. It was not a happy party, especially for Ekansh and Her but it was just a business for them. She averted her eyes and her gaze fell on a maid who heard the conversation too.
She pitifully looked at Tara and was about to say something that could console her but Tara stopped her and went back to doing her work thinking, "Lagta hai puri duniya hi mujhse nafrat karne lagi hai" (It seems the whole world hates me)
Then she shrugged casually saying, "Par mujhe ghanta farak nahi padta. Bhad me jaye sab bas mujhe mera Ekansh mil jaye. Uske baad to Puri duniya ko hi aag laga dungi. Waise bhi bewakoofo ki population bohot badh gayi hai"
(But it doesn't matter to me. Let everything go to hell, I just want my Ekansh. After that the whole world will be set on fire. Anyway the population of fools has increased a lot)
