THE MAFIA KING'S BRIDE EP-3

Ranbir Malhotra/fl's grandfather

(Softly, almost pleading) Vijay… I’m sorry for what happened that day. Do whatever you want…

Myra malhotra/fl's grandmother

(Sweetly, but slyly) You know we don’t have enough money to get Soham married properly…

Vijay’s eyes softened. He had always been protective of his brother, and now guilt tugged at him.

Vijay Malhotra/fl's father

(Calmly) Don’t worry. I’ll handle it.

They began listing all the extravagant things they wanted for the wedding—decorations, a massive venue, designer outfits, and more. Slowly, almost without realizing it, Vijay started agreeing, signing checks, approving payments…

Priya Malhotra/fl's mother

Vijay! Stop! Don’t spend so much! We need to save this money… for Aahana!

Vijay Malhotra/fl's father

It’s okay. Soham is my own brother.

Priya Malhotra/fl's mother

(Voice rising, desperate) Have you lost your mind? They’re clearly manipulating you! Don’t give in to them!

Vijay Malhotra/fl's father

(Angrily) Don’t question me, Priya!

Before Priya could react further, Vijay slapped her across the face. The room fell silent. Aahana’s soft gasp echoed from the stairs..

Vijay Malhotra/fl's father

(Furious, voice shaking) I am trying to do what’s right for my family! And if you can’t see that… then maybe you shouldn’t interfere!

Priya’s eyes filled with tears—not just from the slap, but from the pain of seeing her husband so easily manipulated.

Aahana

Papa… don’t be angry… don’t hit Mamma…

Vijay looked down at his daughter, his anger and guilt crashing down on him. For the first time, he realized the damage his blind trust in his family was causing.

Vijay Malhotra/fl's father

I… I didn’t mean…

But Priya turned away, her voice trembling with hurt.

Priya Malhotra/fl's mother

Vijay… how could you?

Days passed, and the house was filled with activity. Vijay spent his time helping everyone around him—his parents, even distant relatives who popped in for favors. Weddings, loans, gifts… nothing was too big or too small for him to spend on. Priya watched helplessly from the sidelines, her frustration mounting.

Priya Malhotra/fl's mother

(Pleading) Vijay… please, save some money for Aahana! She’ll need it for her wedding, for her future… don’t spend everything on everyone else!

Vijay Malhotra/fl's father

(Smiling, brushing off her concerns) Priya… don’t worry. I have a lot of money. I can always earn more for our daughter. She will have everything she needs, and more.

Priya Malhotra/fl's mother

(Shaking her head, exasperated) It’s not about how much money you can earn! It’s about thinking carefully and making sure we don’t waste it!

Vijay Malhotra/fl's father

(Firmly, almost stubbornly) Priya, listen to me. Aahana’s future isn’t just about saving money—it’s about giving her the best of everything. And I won’t let anyone tell me what’s enough or not enough for my daughter.

Priya’s heart sank, realizing that Vijay’s determination had turned into stubbornness. Aahana, meanwhile, played quietly, blissfully unaware of the tension around her, though sometimes she peeked at her parents with curious eyes.

Priya Malhotra/fl's mother

You’re not thinking about her… you’re just trying to please everyone else.
