Married To A Stranger (Completed)

Chapter 5

 Sreesha POV:

Tej, the only family who loves and cares for me. The only person in the world who have seen my best and the worst, still stayed with me.

My brother.

I wonder what were the reasons that lead him to marry me off, to a stranger no less, when he was so against of my father's selection.

He fought my every battle like it is his. He protect me like he was the elder one among us. He grew up too fast protecting me from my parents wrath and the evils who plays as angels outside the house.

I missed him so much. I want nothing but to hug him but he betrayed me in the worst way possible. He promised me, to never let anything happen against my will yet he decided to break it himself.

Sure, god blessed me with Karthik, who behaves like a gentleman. What if it is someone who is just like my father or worse?

"Di! " my heart melted when he called me 'di'. I was pulled in to a bone crushed hug. He clutched to me in Octopus grip making it hard to breath.

Octopus grip, seriously?

Do you want me to degrade his huge body by comparing his hug with a leech?

Eww!

"T-Tej.... c-can't breath" I gasped out. His gripped loosened almost immediately making me stumble back.

"Sorry di, it's just I missed you so much" he confessed, scratching his neck.

I missed you too, Tej.

"Sure you did" I said sarcastically, narrowing my eyes at him.

"W-what? Of course I missed you" he said desperately. I rolled my eyes at him and asked him to leave.

"Did he hurt you, di?" He asked gritting his teeth, his soft brown eyes darkened with fury.

"Answer me, di. Did he say or do something you don't like? " the tone he used was dark. Never had I witnessed this side of him. Sure he was protective of me all the time but now, he looks ready to kill.

"Of course not. He is nice to me" I mumbled, confused by his sudden change of aura. He relaxed immediately and gave me an innocent smile.

"Good. Or I would have killed him" he said, giving a charming smile. I rolled my eyes at him, again.

"Why are you sad then? Tell me what happened, is it father again? Or mother tried to lecture you again? " he started his guessing game.

"It's you. I don't want to talk to you. Get out of here" I ordered, gesturing to the door, making sure my voice is harsh.

"What? What did I do?" I almost laughed at his confused stature. I forgave him already, okay? I'm bored and who doesn't want a bit of entertainment and treated like a princess right?

"You broke your promise remember? You said, you wouldn't try anything against my will yet you agreed to this marriage and didn't help me out" I scowled.

"I- you... di. K-karthik " he started talking in gibberish.

"Get out now" I showed him the way out, giving a defeated sigh he left. I smirked at his back.

Now Sreesha, ready to be pampered by your little brother with lots of love and chocolates (yum).

Tej tried everything to get me out of my room but I turned down all his attempts.

He asked me to have lunch with him.

I don't want lunch, dude.

He begged me to watch my favorite movie with him.
