"Our wedding night is still left... what a strange movie this is!"

Start

Pihu and Seema ji had just stepped out of the house. Pihu was about to start her Activa scooter when Sujata ji came running and called out, "Pihu beta, did you see the news?"

Both Seema ji and Pihu looked at her in surprise. Pihu asked nervously, "What happened, aunty? Why are you running like this?"

Sujata ji replied, "That means you haven't seen the news yet? Come on, let's go inside and watch it on TV."

Seema ji said, "Pihu, let's go inside." Both Pihu and Seema ji went back inside, followed closely by Sujata ji.

Pihu turned on the TV and switched to the news channel. The live headlines were flashing: "Special Wedding of Yug Bajaj."

Seema ji reacted irritably, "If it's his wedding, what do we have to do with it? We were going to the police station, and now we've been unnecessarily delayed."

Just as Seema ji was speaking, Pihu interrupted, "Mom, that's Mannat Di!"

Pihu couldn't believe her eyes. Mannat Di's wedding… and with Yug Bajaj? How was that even possible? Seema ji was equally shocked.

Sujata ji said, "When I saw this on TV, I couldn't believe it either. Is this really our Mannat? And where is your father?"

Seema ji and Pihu were speechless. Seema ji said, "He's been missing since morning. We haven't heard anything from him. That's why we were going to file a police complaint."

Pihu said, "Something's not right. Papa missing since morning and Di getting married? Something's seriously wrong, Mom."

Seema ji said, "I don't understand anything. What exactly is this girl doing?"

Sujata ji said, "Only Mannat can answer all this. We should go to her and talk."

Pihu said, "We need to go right now and talk to Di. Something is definitely wrong."

Meanwhile, Yug's mom and grandmother were both stunned after seeing the news. What was their son doing? And how could he take such a big decision without telling anyone?

The boy who always ran away from the idea of marriage had not only agreed but got married within a few hours—without informing anyone.

The same boy who never wanted to marry because of his father's trauma had now secretly tied the knot.

Yug's grandmother picked up her stick and said, "Let that useless boy come home, I'll deal with him. If he had to get married, he could've told us. Would we have stopped him? We'd have arranged a grand wedding! He's our only grandson after all."

Both Yug's mother and grandmother were furious at him.

Elsewhere, at Yug Villa – the media had left. In the living area stood Mannat, Yug, Shera, and a few bodyguards.

Mannat pulled her hand away from Yug's and said, "I fulfilled my promise. Now you fulfill yours. Where is my father? I want to meet him."

Yug pulled her hand back toward him, smirked, and said, "What's the rush? Our wedding night is still left. Don't worry, your dear father is safe."

Hearing this, Mannat snapped, "Stop your nonsense! Just tell me clearly where you've hidden my father."

She pushed Yug with all her strength. Yug stumbled back a couple of steps and glared at her in anger.

Pointing her finger at him, Mannat shouted, "That's enough! Tell me where my father is. Or else..."

Yug stepped closer and smirked, "Or else what? What will you do, huh?"

Mannat, backing away, warned him, "Don't mess with me. It won't end well for you."

Yug gave a crooked smile and said, "I want to see what you can do to me."

As Mannat stepped back, she hit a wall. Yug pinned her in with one hand and said, "Now where will you run?"

Frightened, Mannat just stared at him. Yug grabbed her hand and ordered, "Come to the room."

Mannat screamed, "Let go of me! What are you doing? Have you gone mad?"

But Yug didn't listen. He dragged her to a room that had a foul smell. After letting go of her hand, he began circling her with a wicked grin.

In a commanding voice, Yug said, "What did you think? That I'd marry you, give you my name, spend a romantic night with you? That's what you were expecting?"

Mannat looked at him but turned her gaze away, unwilling to argue.

Yug grabbed her hand tightly and growled, "This hand, right? The one you slapped me with? Look carefully, you slapped this face—a face millions adore!"

Mannat started to panic. She tried to remain calm and said, "Punish me however you want, but let me see my father. I beg you."

Yug twisted her arm behind her back and whispered near her face, "The night you slapped me, I kept thinking how to take revenge—maybe I should have you kidnapped... maybe throw acid... but then I'd be no different from criminals. So I chose a better way... to break you slowly, every day."

He lifted her chin and said coldly, "From today, you're just a spot in this house. Nothing more."

Hearing such cruel words, Mannat looked into his eyes. They were filled with hate. She kept crying, but Yug remained unmoved.

Before leaving, Yug turned and said, "Girls like you throw themselves at me. Actors and models line up to warm my bed. Don't think you're special. If you try to use this marriage to your advantage, I'll ruin you in ways you've never imagined."

Yug left. Mannat collapsed to the floor, sobbing uncontrollably. Her life had turned into a nightmare in just one day.

After ten minutes of crying, she wiped her tears and told herself, "No, Mannat. You can't be weak. You have to fight."

She started searching for her phone. She realized she had left her purse in the room where she got ready. She rushed back, found her purse, and took out her phone—it was switched off.

Now what? Whom should she call? Should she run away? But what if they harmed her father? She needed answers from Yug.

She stepped out of the room and began looking for him—but where was he? Which room? She couldn't find him, so she returned to her room.

Meanwhile, Yug went to his room, called Shera, and instructed, "Return her father safely home."

Shera nodded and left.

At the same time—

Pihu, Seema ji, and Sujata ji were about to leave when Naina arrived. Pihu rushed to her and said, "Naina di, do you know what happened to Mannat di? I just saw the news—is it true?"

Naina understood from Pihu's reaction that everyone had seen the news. There was no use hiding it anymore. She placed a hand on Pihu's shoulder and said, "Yes, I know everything."

Seema ji angrily asked, "You knew, and you didn't tell us?!"

Naina replied, "Aunty, I just found out too. I was at the venue to cover the news. I didn't know Mannat was marrying Yug Bajaj."

Sujata ji said, "Alright. Then take us to Mannat. We'll talk to her. How could she do this without telling us?"

Naina said sadly, "Aunty, I don't think it's the right time to go there. I believe Mannat herself will explain everything—why she got married and what really happened."

While they were talking, a black car pulled up. Two men got out and carefully helped out Keshav ji, who was unconscious.

One man asked, "Is this Keshav Aggarwal's house?"

Seema ji, her voice trembling, said, "Yes… but what happened to him? What did you do to him?"

The other man replied, "Nothing serious. His health was a little off. We gave him medicine. He'll be fine in some time."
