My Accidental Marriage

Chapter 15| Legally Married

Khushi:"Stop bringing my parents in between. You know nothing about them"(She raised her voice slightly tired of her parents being brought in every now and then)

Lady:"Oh look now what manner you have. Such Shameless girl you are. A curse to your parents. and..(That point hit the trigger for Khushi. She froze as all her memories of her Chachi Chacha along with her parents death came in front of her. Cursed. That one word rang in her mind as all the other rant of the lady was long forgotten)

Khushi didn't hear a single word  after that as all her mind was was going on was how she was a curse on her parents. Maybe she was as everyone around her always told her she was. She herself didn't realize when a hand grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the lady's grip. The hand on her shoulder made her come out of her thoughts as a tear escaped her eyes while she looked around trying to take in the surrounding.

She looked to her left to see Manish standing next to her, his arms around her shoulder as he glared at the lady. She looked around to see a crowd had formed around them.

Lady:"Who are you now huh? Her lover?"

Manish:"Her husband! And who the hell are you to question her upbringing? What about your manner's Aunty? Do you know even a single detail about her to question her manner and her lifestyle or the fact why she is here? Who are you to question her? "

Lady:"Who am I. I am an elder and I am.."

Manish:"And you are wrong! Just because your kid did something doesn't give you the right to nag everyone else"(That lady gasped at Manish )"Listen here aunty. You might have met many people like your son who has the guts to take such a big decision in their life like marriage, but not take the responsibility of defending his wife's right and respect. But let me make one thing very clear, I will no appreciate it even a bit if you stand here and blame my wife and point a finger at her character for something she has not done. First go teach yourselves some basic respect then come after others"

Manish:(turning to Khushi)"Lets go"(He grabbed her hand as he pulled her away from the waiting room to go near the main office)

Khushi kept looking at him then at his hand which gripped her hand tightly as he walked ahead looking extremely angry. No body other then her Dadi and Pihu had ever stood up for her. She was used to listening to taunts and being misunderstood. To be very honest she wouldn't have even cared what that lady was saying if she had not accidentally reminded Khushi about her being a curse but today when Manish defended her, it made her heart feel emotional. He declared her his wife even though he might not mean it from his heart, he stood up for her and fought for her which meant the world to her for some reason.

Manish:(standing outside the marriage officers cabin as he tried to calm his anger)"God these stereotypical aunties and their nonsense.(turning to Khushi)"And why were you just standing there listening to her nonsense? You should have cut her off and told her. There is no point in being nice to these kinds of people. You will always be hated for whatever you do so just stand up for yourself and don't take their bullshit"

Khushi:"I did try..(She said rather quietly)" But she...leave it"

Manish:(looked at her for a min as if trying to understand her expression before he took a deep breath to clam himself)"Okay forget this, Lets go in"(They headed in to the office)

Man:(Who sat behind a desk studying the documents handed to him by one of his assistant)" ahh.. Manish Malhotra right?"

Manish:"Yes sir.. "

Man:"Oh drop such formalities beta. Your Dadaji had called few hours back. I was waiting for you both."(Turning to Khushi)"You must be khushi?"

Khushi:"yes"
