Janvi POV
My sister walked me to the garden, can see a couple maybe Adith's parents. She came to me and asked how I am I nodded my head in yes and she asked me why I wear simple saree,
"I am sorry aunty" maybe I should have taken something grand but I like it simple.
"It's an ok beta, you look beautiful in this, but the bridal dress should be my choice," she said giggling.
"Sure aunty," I said not smiling.
Her smile vanished. Did I do something wrong? She is such a good woman but I don't have any intention to hurt her.
She takes me to Adith and introduced us. I gazed into his eyes, he is starting me more like absorbing me. Those grey eyes are still the same which is warm and bold. He had changed but not much, his dark black hair looks so soft, his chest looks wide and much stronger, how much does he work out, his beard is trimmed slightly making him more beautiful. How can he be more handsome?
I wish things were different 6 years ago. I want to live happily with him. I want to hug him, I want to be in his arms seeing his beautiful grey orbs. But those are for me. I can't be for him. He won't be for me, he will never see me the way I see him.
I moved to his father,
"I am Adith's dad," he said with a smile.
"Hi uncle", I said.
" So how is your life in London?" He asked.
"It's good uncle"
"I had already seen you in London at your graduation"
I am amazed by his words.
"We are proud to have you as our daughter"
I gave him a small smile. It's the first time to hear someone who says that he is proud of me, not even my parents. It's the first time I am smiling, with someone other than Adam.
Ohh, Adam, I forgot to call him, I will after this engagement.
His mom asked us to sit in the chair for exchanging our bands. I keep on looking at my lap, afraid to look at him. I am obvious that I will cry if I look that again today. But I can feel his continuous stare on me. I have to control my emotions. My mom took my hand and gave it to him.
As soon as my hand made its contact with his, I feel something in me get back it's life. It's the first time he is touching me. I want to read his eyes to know his state. But I didn't. The ring is stunning yet simple the way I like.
Then he extended his hands to me, I put the ring in his. After a few seconds, he got up from the chair and walked away. I can sense his outrage. He won't ever be able to love me. I know it. He is not willing to marry me. I turned to my mom to see her as if nothing happens. No concern.
I felt a hand on my shoulder to see my MIL seeing me with an apologetic and pitiful look.
"It's ok aunty, can I go to my room?" I asked, understanding my situation she shook her head as affirmative.
On my way to my room,
"Again become an unwanted person in another person's life? How pitiful Sister" she said in a mocking way.
Yes, I am despised again!!!
I went to my room and get changed into my loose Kurti and pants, after talking with A for 15 minutes, I take my sleeping pills and get into mattress.
I have been tossing in the best for more than an hour, but I am not getting sleep. His anger looks making me lose my sleep. If he doesn't want to marry me then why he accept this? Is he forced to marry me?
With all these thinkings I can't sleep the whole night.
The next day Adith mom called to tell me that she is taking me shopping for the wedding. I changed into my simple royal blue and rose salwar.
I get down to see a car just arrived there, I can see aunty get out of the car, I called her inside to get some coffee, she rejected as it's getting late. I agreed and was about to get in the backseat with her,
"Sit in the front" she more likely ordered.
I gave her a confused look and get inside to see Adith in the driver seat.
'What's he doing here?'
He sat there not turning his eyes from the front, it's like he's been avoiding me. Who cares. His jaw is clenched as he is gritting his teeth with anger.
He started the engine and take the car quickly making me yelp due to its sudden movement, I haven't even put on my seat belt. He and his anger issues!!
Aunty is in call with someone for the past 10 minutes, we both are looking at the road, he is clutching the steering hard. Later we reached the boutique which looks much costly. Is it the place we are going to shop? They both went inside, I followed them behind slowly.
Adith is sitting on the sofa, with his mobile. Aunty is seeing the lehenga, she keeps on searching for the best. I being bored started to roam there to take a look at the boutique. I reached the salwar section, the always here are very beautiful, the designs here are unique.
I felt someone grabbed my hand and dragged me, I know it's Adith. His grip is not much tight, but enough to not lose my grip. I tried to wiggle out but he pulled me to the dressing room at the corner. He locked the door and turned to see me with fire in his eyes. Can I say stunning eyes?
"What's your plan this time?"
"What plan?" I asked him not interested.
"Why did you agreed to marry me? Do you have any plans?"
I let out a small sigh, " are you done? I want to leave"
He took a deep breath turning away like he is controlling his anger and turning back to me. He came close to me, but I don't show fear, but gave a blank look. He is towering me with his big frame, making me look too small in front of him. His cologne is making me crazy as he is standing too close to me is directly staring in my blank orbs, and whispered,
"Did Your boyfriend left you? Or have your father didn't give you enough money to spend it lavishly on your night outs?"
"Or you are not satisfied with them?"
After 6 years I am hearing these words. Is he calling me a whore? I feel like crying. I want to slap his face hard. But I don't want to show him that I am affected by his statements.
I pushed him by his shoulders and opened the lock before I could make way out, a hand grabbed me and pushed me to the mirror inside it.
"I will make your life hell, mark my words Ms. Hayer you will regret saying yes to this marriage" he walked out after letting out those hurtful words. A tear rolled down my cheeks. I wiped my tears to make sure I don't look like I cried.
I walked back to aunty to see her seeing confused with the dresses she chooses. I stood by her side, sensing my presence she handed 3 lehengas a red one, a pink one, and a lavender color. I tried all 3 dresses but aunty chooses the lavender color lehenga.
Adith didn't even come to our direction. Later we went to the men's section and mom and Adith chooses his wedding clothes, I don't want to disturb them so I said downstairs itself. They came an hour later and we drove towards our home. I bid bye to aunty and went to my room.
Sunday is my marriage. I feel scared instead of excited and happy. He is a man of words to complete his oath. I am sure my marriage life will definitely be a difficult one.
