Almost one month passed after Amyra's father, and the mystery deepened day after day. It was probably a murder, he was stabbed before jumping off the building. Amyra was in trauma for many weeks, Varun, Amit and her other friends used to visit her every day initially but lessened their visit after her uncle and his family came to take care of her. Meanwhile, the share prices of Sehgal's fell into the ground and it faced a crash in share market. This was those shares in which her father invested a lot of money, even taking a loan of about 200 Cr. but it turned valueless after the fall in share price. In this situation debtors started to ask for their money and the post-financial advisor of his father asked her to declare bankruptcy and to shake off all responsibilities of the loans her father took but the stubborn, stupid girl denied to cheat and decided to give away every properties and asset keeping the shares which already turned useless, to pay the loan and decided to be really bankrupted. But there came another problem as her father left all his properties for his future son in law stated in the property will, as he knew Amyra's negative attitude towards business and properties. She wanted to deal with those things herself but no debtors wanted to oversee these legal issues and it was sure that to do anything with those properties she has to get a husband, even if it would be just for a single day, debtors were also getting restless even many threatened her to the court case. She was not out of her grief and this new tension took her peace of mind away.

One evening Amyra was looking at a court petition send by a debtor to pay back his money as early as possible, sitting in the sofa when Amit accompanied with Varun came to her, She greeted them with an imitated smile which was no doubt a forced one. They both smiled back formally, as they were called here by Amyra with an emergency message.
-"have a seat.," she said and turned towards the housekeeper.
-"please call my uncle and aunt.." She said to the housekeeper who immediately walked away to do the same.
-"What is the matter? I left an important meeting in between. Is everything ok here?" Varun asked tensed.
-"I have to ask you both about something I decided. Let my uncle and aunt come.." She said and meanwhile, her uncle and aunt walked inside the room with her sister Tiya following them.
After they all sat surrounding her curiously, she spoke.
-" You all know about the situation I am going through but I already promised to clear all debts of my father and as per the condition stated in his will I have decided to get married." Her statement turned the expression of Every person present in the room. Some were confused and some were curious.
-"But.. to whom??" Spoke Tiya.
-"That's why I called you all, You know that we have to choose someone whom we can trust blindly as the matter is complicated. I have my two friends whom I have full faith in. So I called you both to ask if any of you will help me in this matter?" She said turning towards the twin sofa where Amit and Varun were sitting.
Amyra hardly finished her speech when both of them stood up from their place.
-"I am ready.." They both said at once and then stared at each other.
Amyra thought Varun will say 'no' as it is against his rules to attach any string to anyone even if the marriage will be a fake one and it was a 'yes' expected from Amit as he always stood there for her whenever she needed since they became friends. She looked at both of them with a confused gaze.
-"I am obviously better than him.. I can take care of her in this difficult situation but he is the one with a pathetic behaviour. It's even hard to understand when he will be soft and rude in the next moment. please understand.." Amit said walking closer to Amyra and held her right hand, who was looking at Varun standing still and his face lacking any expression.
-"Ok it's up to you but if you select me then we both can help each other because just like you I too have some legal issues as I can't take full authority of my own company without getting married. So will you be mine and help me back for that?" He said and walked forward to holding her another hand.
Amit laughed out loud as he spoke.
-"Are you making a story??? Don't believe him Ammu. He is very good at this, he even faked his own death.." He said mimicking.
-"How dare you talk like this... It was for national purpose.. you..." Varun got angry hearing Amit's comment about his service and was about to say something more but Amyra stopped him shaking off her both hands from them.
-"What happened to both of you, are you crazy??? I am not going to be with any of you for real... It's just a contractual fake marriage for a few days.." She said loudly making both of them quiet.
His uncle along with his family was enjoying the live drama now finally spoke.
-"Ok boy if you can provide some proof about what you said then I hope you both can help each other." He said to Varun, while Amit walked out of the room angrily and Amyra followed him giving a quick glance at Varun who was staring at her unblinking with a weird expression.
