Chapter 53 - Arjun weds Aaradhana

Aaradhana in rooftop

Sanjay calls Aaradhana

Sanjay - Did you speak to Arjun?

Aaradhana - No anna. I will ask him about money now.

Arjun ( in mind ) - I didnt know you are such cheater. You not only fooled me, you also fooled your brother. Though he was a gambler , he turned to a good man. I didnt knew there was a women who was crazy for money behind the simple and innocent face. Karmegam said you he arranged you money but still you are going to ask money to me right? Aaradhana if our family know this,they'll get hurt. I'll not leave you.

Arjun leaves from the place .He recalls his time spent with Aaradhana

Aaradhana ( in mind ) - I should tell truth about Karmegam to Arjun.

It's been an hour . Arjun didn't come. Aaradhana sees drunk Riyaz carried by Arjun

Aaradhana - I guess, he gave bachelor party.

Aaradhana leaves from there.

Arjun room

Arjun makes Riyaz sleep

Arjun (in mind ) - Aaru, I'll wait for you till 3 am. If I found that you were not waiting for Karmegam, I 'll trust you...

Aaradhana guest room

Sandya was carrying drunk madhu to her room. They all sleep,

At 1.30 am

Madhu who was drunk, vomitted at Aaradhana night dress while sleeping

Aaradhana wakes her up and cleans madhu and makes her sleep.

Aaradhana takes the cloth she was wearing yesterday and goes to bathroom to freshen up.

Arjun comes near her room window by 2am to check if she's getting ready to elope with shaktivel.

Shockingly Aaradhana comes out from bathroom after freshening up by 2.30.

Arjun gets shocked.

Aaradhana dries her hair . Aaradhana starts packing things from guest room as she needs to shift to Arjun room today

It became 3.40 Aaradhana who didn't get sleep started switching on the light to read book

Sandhya- Aara ,please switch of lights, it's disturbing my sleep.

Aaradhana goes out with her book and shocked to see Arjun.

Aaradhana - Arjun what were you doing here?

Arjun-You asked to meet me yesterday right. I didn't come because I slept.So I came to meet you?

Aaradhana- Why are you lieing Arjun? I saw coming out from bachelor's party

Arjun- Are you going somewhere Aaradhana? you were dressed well.

Aaradhana (in mind) - I cannot tell him ,madhu vomitted at me.

Aaradhana(stammers) - I couldn't sleep , so I took bath

Arjun(in mind) -Why are you lieing me? Whenever you lie,you stammer. so you were waiting for Shaktivel right?

Arjun- Aaradhana ,I am not happy with this marriage.I love you but only as a friend. I still love Rupali. And you don't love me too because you love another person for more than 14yrs. We both agreed for the marriage only because of our mother. We'll have contracted marriage

Aaradhana - What?

Arjun -Yes, We'll have contracted marriage for 1 year. I'll give you 25 lakhs as compensation.

Arjun(in mind)- Aaru, please tell me you dont want this contract marriage . I promise that I'll never doubt you.

Aaradhana slaps Arjun

Aaradhana - You think marriage is a joke. I can't do that at any case.

Arjun hugs Aaradhana

Arjun- Sorry Aaru.

Suddenly Arjun starts hearing Aaradhana phone ringing

Arjun shocked because all these were his dream

Aaradhana attends the call

Aaradhana ( in devasted voice)-I'll let you know in 20 mins.

Arjun - Who's call was that?

Aaradhana - Call from makeup artist.

Arjun - Aaradhana, you didnt ansewer me still

Arjun ( in mind )- Please prove me wrong

Aaradhana ( in mind )- Arjun, you think marriage is a game. Why are you doing like this? Its true that I am in need of money, but I dont want my marriage to be a contracted one. Arjun I 'll stay 5 minutes silent.Please re take your words within that.Please dont make me hate you because of this.

Arjun - Aaradhana, answer yes or no.

Aaradhana ( controlling tears ) - yes. ok

Arjun shatters

Aaradhana cries and leaves from there.

Arjun(in mind) -You even cry because you are going to marry me instead of shaktivel.How dare you tell him to divorce Anitha for your selfishness?I'll make you regret for this.

Arjun leaves

The house was filled with music of nadaswaram,melam sounds

(Nadaswaram, melam - Instruments which are used to play in South Indian marriages)

Aaradhana was doing her makeup.

Arjun message Aaradhana. "Meet me at rooftop now"

Aaradhana messages "How can I come there now. Athamma is there with me"

Arjun message "I'll make the arrangements"

Madhu gets Riyaz call

Riyaz - Madhu,listen bring Aaradhana to rooftop.

Madhu - Are you mad? We should take her to marriage hall in 15 mins. How can I take her there

Riyaz - Listen, Arjun wants to propose Aaradhana before marriage

Madhu- What? He didnt propose her still?

Riyaz- I'll tell you everything later. Bring her to rooftop somehow.

Madhu fools everyone and brings Aaradhana to rooftop.

Arjun was waiting for her there.

Arjun was mesmerised on seeing her in wedding saree. She was wearing shining olive green wedding saree with orange border having matching orange designer blouse

Aaradhana was mesmerised on seeing in white dhoti.

Aaradhana - Arjun?

Arjun - Aaradhana, i dont want to waste any time. sign this

Aaradhana (in mind )- I thought you were playing. But you are doing this for real right? I hate yoy Arjun

Aaradhana signs the paper and Arjun gives her check of 25 lakhs

Arjun (in mind) - I thought you'll not sign Aaradhana. I hate you

Aaradhana gets Madhu call and she leaves

After 20 mins Arjun was sitting in marriage hall.

pandit ( one who does mantra or recites vows for marriage ) tells "Bring the bride"

Arjun sees Aaradhana without specs entering the hall with the photo he gave.

Pandit - Make the bride sit next to groom

They both recites mantras which Pandit asks them to

Pandit -Kanyadhan(Kanyadhan- Brides parents giving her hand in Groom hand, telling indicating that I give my daughter to you. She is your responsibility now) can be done now. Bride's parents step forward

Sanjay steps forward and takes Aaradhana hand and keeps it in Arjun hand

Arjun and Aaradhana see eachother with hateredness .

The pandit gives thali ( thali - nuptial thread , if groom ties that thread with three nots to bride,it indicates their marriage is complete) to Arjun and tells "Kettimelam Kettimelam" ( Speed the music )

Aaradhana sees Arjun with teary eyes.

Arjun ( in mind ) -I always dreamt of seeing your happy eyes and blushing face when I tie this thali in your neck.But now I see teary in this eyes and disappointed face. You are disappointed because you wanted that shaktivel to tie this right.

Arjun ties thali to her with three knots

Pandit asks Arjun to fill Kumkum in bride's forehead (kunkumam in tamil- A red coloured powder. If groom applies Kungumam in bride's forehead, he indicates the world that this lady is now married )

Arjun fills Kumkum in Aaradhana forehead

Pandit ask them to stand up and be ready for wedding vows ( In North India, the bride and groom used to walk 7 rounds around the wedding fire making promise on each round. In South India the bride and groom used to walk 3 rounds around the wedding fire making promise on each round)

Arjun and Aaradhana take vows

1 vow

Arjun ( in mind ) - I'll make you regret for killing all my dreams

2nd vow

Arjun (in mind )- I'll make you regret for betraying my sister.

3 rd vow

Arjun ( in mind )- I promise that I'll never forget the first two vows.

Pandit - Your wedding is complete

Karmegam who gets consious now sees this and fumes. Arjun holds Aaradhana hands and smirks at him

Pandit asks Arjun to make Aaradhana wear metti ( ring which bride wear in her legs , indicating the world that she's married )

Arjun(in mind) - Welcome to hell Aaradhana. You will see my greetings now

Arjun inserts the metti in index finger of left leg hardly. Aaradhana grunts in pain.

Arjun smiles at her

Pandit gives him another metti.

Arjun shows it to her.Aaradhana fears

Arjun inserts the metti in index finger of her right leg even harder. Aaradhana does sszzzzz

Arjun - Sorry Aaradhana, this metti is small in size.Now its alright

Aaradhana ( in mind ) - Arjun I know you are doing wantedly. Why are you doing like this? Why did you ask me to do contract marriage?

Arjun ( in mind ) - People you used to feel happy if they marry their loved one. I married you to protect my sister's marriage. People used to say love is a pleasent feeling . But you made me realize that love is a torture.

At 11 am

Poorva - Sanjay, take bride and groom to vadapalani temple and then to your home. Let them be there was sometime and bring them back here after 7pm after completing her farewell.

Sanjay, Aaradhana in the car parking

Aaradhana gives him money

Sanjay - Did you tell him everything?

Aaradhana - I didnt get chance to tell, When I asked him money he gave it without questioning back.
