His Innocent Wife

7. Strangers.

Abhimanyu left the as room as his mother instructed him Sanaya was standing there glued at her place keeping her eyes stick to the floor

'This room has nice floor atleast nicer than my so-called-very-sweet-husband face.' She thought

'Basically, you got married to a dominating jerk who yelled at you, invade your private space and most importantly he is affecting you as hell
Why? Why me? Mahadev, please lessen his affect on me a bit!'  Sanaya whined

Sanaya was soo engrossed that she failed to notice that Sneha was standing in front of her giving her a small smile.

Sanaya looked up at Sneha and she felt annoyance welling up in her system as she hated that look of sympathy.

"Sanaya, you must be uncomfortable in these clothes and jewellery. First let me help you." Sneha stated looking at Sanaya's tired face and Sanaya casted her eyes down

"If you want I can?" She added

"It's fine, I will help myself." She replied smiling, hesitating to agree

'Duh, I can't trust someone this soon!' Her conscience stated

"You sure?" Sneha asked and Sanaya kept her mouth shut, deciding not to reply.

"It's ok, I got my answer come I'll help you." Sneha said understanding that she might be hesitating or might be scared.

Sanaya nodded and Sneha lead them to the closet, and made her sit on the stool in front of dressing table

"Sanaya, you don't have to be scared of me darling, you know, I seriously wish to know the reason for you marrying my son." Sneha started helping her removing the necklace, Sanaya kept quiet

"Look, I can see that you are not happy with all this shit that is happening or happened, and I wish to build a bond with you just like I have with Sreesha but you got be honest." Sneha stated gently removing her veil covering her head

"You won't trust me." Sanaya whispered which was loud enough for Sneha to hear

"I will trust you, believe me." Sneha said removing her left earing looking at her through the mirror

"Why wil you?" Sanaya asked holding Sneha's hand stopping her from removing the right earing

"Umm...." Sneha pretend of thinking of an answer Sanaya but her lower lip at which Sneha smiled

"Because you are my new family member." Sneha said smiling
"Unwanted one." Sanaya added looking down

"Nah, an unexpected one." Sneha retorted and Sanaya slightly smiled
"That's the same." She muttered
"That's not, though it is going to be tough but trust me, all family members will accept it this way only." Sneha assured and Sanaya nodded smiling

'Who wish to seek acceptance? Not me. I Am Leaving After Six Months.' She thought with a lip tight smile

"And you will change your mind about divorce, maybe." Sneha added and Sanaya's eyes shot up
"Wha... How?" She questioned trying to figure how her mother-in-law figured out her thoughts

"I am a mother, I read faces, especially of my children and you are no exception." Sneha stated winking and Sanaya took in a sharp breath removing her nose ring

Sanaya felt that, her eyes started welling up as Sneha was making it hard for her to resist the urge of crying.

"Cry, no one can judge you." Sneha whispered placing a soft feather peck on her temple

Sanaya turned and hugged Sneha by waist tightly and started weeping like a child.
"Sanaya, let it out." Sneha muttered caressing her hair

"I swear, I didn't do it willingly. Why will I? I don't even know this family! Trust me, if I was given a choice then I would have saved all us from everything we are suffering because of me." Sanaya broke down completely and Sneha just caressed her hair
