Bani’s POV:
“Don’t ever try to get close to me. Remember, I don’t love you and I will never accept you as my wife. You are just a freaking burden for me to bear. You don’t even matter for me. I feel disgusted whenever you be with me. Just stay away from me from now on. I hate to repeat myself.”
I woke up with a jerk remembering his words. I looked around the room to see whether he is in the room or not but he was not there. I sighed closing my eyes in a relief. It’s been two days since I got married. Even on our first night he didn’t showed up in the room. I was relieved as I didn’t even want to see his face.
All the people in the family are taking care of me. Mahek always hangs out around me and tells about her college life. Tapish always shares his opinions about the things with me. He respects me a lot.
Shaking out f my thoughts, I immediately checked my phone lying on the bed. It was 11 pm then. I immediately got down from the couch and walked towards the balcony.
I froze as I saw the most beautiful view of the Mumbai city from the balcony. It was indeed a feast for my eyes. All the lights of the vehicles that were passing by the highway were illuminating radiantly.
Looking at the way people are rushing I could sense how busy they are in their life. Some people might be going to their houses after a heavy work day while some people might start their night shift work while some people must be wandering around and having fun. Here I am, thinking about other’s life while my own life is head over heels.
A soundless chuckle left my mouth over my pathetic life. Why am I so unwanted to people? First it was Jai and now it’s him, what do they both think of each other that they can decide how I should live my life?
Less did they know that I am Bani Sharma and Bani Sharma never fails to keep up her attitude. I don’t need anyone’s support to grow in my life. I don’t give a f**k to the people who treat me like some trash.
I was jerked from my thoughts when my mobile beamed with a sound. I opened the notification and found that there was a missed call from Papa and I immediately redialed him.
“Papa, Are you fine? Did you call me?” I asked as soon as he picked the call.
“Yes Bani, we are fine. I just called you to know whether you fine or not.” He said and I froze as Veer’s words crawled into my mind. But I decided not to say anything to my parents about it as I don’t want them to get worried.
“I-I am fine, Papa.” I made sure I sounded confident.
“Bani, I know about you dear. I know that you are trying to act cool so that we will not worry about you but remember that I am your father.” He said making me gasp.
“Papa, I am totally fine. Maa(Veer’s mom) takes a good care of me and Papa always treats me like his daughter. Mahek is just so amazing and cute. Tapish always adores me. They all love so much, Papa.” I said with a huge smile as my words are indeed true. They are such a cute family together.
“And Veer..?” He said and I chocked.
“Veer…” I whispered slowly to which my father heaved a sigh.
“Papa, I-I mean V-Veer….He…also takes good care of me.” I gritted while closing my eyes like I always do when I lie something.
“Are you closing your eyes right now?”He said making my gasp. “I know Bani, it is not easy for you to forget Jai and move on. But remember one thing, life never stops just because you lost someone’s company. May be you both were never destined together. May be h-he never loved you…. He stuttered the last words which made my heart sunk.
“Papa please, whatever he might have done for me but I truly loved him with all that in me. Even if he is not with me right now but I still love him because love for me is not something to forget. The moments I had with him can never be replaceable. I still love him papa because I don’t know how to make him unloved within my heart.” I said with grief stricken voice as the memories of him flooded in my mind.
“Papa, I…..I stiffened when I heard the door getting opened. I quickly turned back to look the entering figure in the room. It was Veer. It was the first time I saw him after that the wedding day. Maa(Veer’s mom) told that he went for some urgent work but I know why he left so suddenly, because he doesn’t want this marriage.
He was still wearing the same dress from the wedding. He was glaring at me and all I saw in his eyes was anger and hatred. He hates me to the core!
“Papa, I will talk with you later.” I said and immediately cut the call. In order to escape from his piercing gaze I started strolling down my phone.
“Were you complaining about me to your father?” I heard him say and my fingers stopped on the phone’s screen. I lifted my gaze to see his eyes which were fuming with anger.
“I asked you something. Just answer me, you damn it.” He strode towards me within few seconds and grabbed me by my arm. I hissed when he held my hand harshly. I tried to get out from his grip but I failed because of his immense power.
“L-leave…Arghh…it’s paining….pleaseee.” I whispered while trying to get out from his grip.
“Just answer my question then.” He said huskily making me gulp hard as he was leaning closely towards my face.
“I-I was…not t-talking about you.” I said more loudly and looked into his eyes. I at last pushed him with all my strength and this time I succeeded in it as retreated back.
“I-I hate you.” Saying this I fell on the couch holding my head close to my lifted knees on the couch. I didn’t cry but I had no courage to look at the monster in front of me. He is just disgusting.
“I don’t care.” He said coldly and went into the bathroom.
I rubbed my hands on my shoulders to inspect whether I got hurt because of him. I immediately laid myself on the couch and tried to fell asleep but I couldn’t as his actions were running in my mind. How cruel this man is!
I shut my eyes close when I heard the bathroom door open. I turned my back towards him so that he doesn’t notice that I am still awake.
As soon as the lights went off, tears started flowing out from my eyes. I know I should be strong but what will I do if I always get to handle with such morons. They hurt me and I should bare them? No, I will have to stay strong and for that I should stay away from them.
I will try my best to avoid him so that he doesn’t have to hurt me again for staying close with him.
I don’t know when but I fell asleep.
“Shut that blo*dy alarm, you idiotttt!” I woke up with a jerk when I heard someone shouting.
“Wh-What happened?” I tried to calm myself down.
“Your blo*dy alarm is just waking my precious sleep. Shut itt!” He shouted while pulling a pillow on his head to cover himself from the alarm sound.
I chuckled internally that his sleep was disturbed by my alarm. God! What a happy morning that I irritated that idiot.
Wait..! Alarm..!
Why my phone does have an alarm? I never kept one as I am not a morning person. I think this must be my mother india’s plan to wake me up early in the morning so that my in-law’s will think that I am a responsible person.
Oh God! Now I should get ready and go downstairs to help my Maa(Veer’s mother) in cooking.
Look at that idiot who is sleeping like he owns it on the king size bed. Arghh! My back is aching because of him that I had to sleep on the couch whole night.
With heavy steps I reached the washroom.
Woahh! Is this a washroom? I could say that it is more spacious than my balcony which has many plants along with my swing. The interiors of the washroom are very classy.
More than 1o people can spaciously stay in this. It is not big than the bedroom but surely very decorative.
Oh God! Why am I drooling on a bathroom? I should complete my business and go back.
After 25 minutes I came out wearing a bathrobe. I went near the dressing table which was beautifully decorated and dried my hair with the drier.
Throwing my hair to the left side of my shoulder I dried the ends of my hair with the drier.
I turned towards my left when I heard few noises and froze looking at him, sleeping on the bed.
I am in a blo*dy bathrobe which covers my body until my knees and standing beside this idiot!
I quickly took my clothes back and went into the washroom. After getting dressed myself in a saree and came out. I checked around the room to find him but he was not there. I sighed before going towards the mirror and did my light makeup with no artificial cosmetics. I hate to keep makeup on as it just irritates me. I always prefer some light touch ups only.
I went downstairs and found my Maa working in the kitchen. She always cooks food for the family despite having many keepers. She is very down to earth.
I went near her and hugged her. She flinched back before hugging me back. I didn’t know why but I released few tears.
“Hey, why are you crying beta?” She said while wiping my tears.
“Don’t know Maa, I just couldn’t control myself.” I said while hugging her again.
She rubbed her hand on my back and tried to console me.
“It happens dear, you are new here so you might feel lonely.” She said in a calming voice.
“Maa-Bhabhi romance ha?” I frowned when I heard Mehak say this.
“Mahek, you are early today.” Maa said while pulling me into a side hug.
“Yes Maa, today I have an extra class early in the morning. So, I must go early.” She said while hugging Maa and them me.
“How was last night, Bhabhi?” She whispered near my ear and I gasped.
“Is your body sour?” She asked and I groaned.
“Idiot! Shut up or else….
“Or else what, Bhabhi? Will you tell this to Maa?” She winked at me.
“How is Rahul?” I said loudly and she flinched. I knew it because whenever she used to share her college stories, she used to blush while his name comes. I used this at the right time.
“Rr-Rahul?” She stuttered while trying to cover her worry into a smile.
“Rahul? Who Rahul?” Maa asked and I could see how tensed Mahek turned.
“Rahul is
“Maa, I am hungry. Can we eat the breakfast now.” Mahek said trying to divert Maa.
“But actually Rahul… I stopped when she pulled me with her. I couldn’t stop but chuckle loudly. I stopped my laugh when I found that idiot sitting on the wall chair outside the kitchen. He was busy in his phone.
“Bhaiya, see how Bhabhi is teasing me.” She said while leaving my hand and going beside him and giving me a glare. I smirked.
“How?” He asked looking at me and I froze under his intense glare.
“Ah!!” Mahek said, being confused.
“How is she teasing you?” He said coldly and I smirked while looking at Mahek who froze at his question.
“Come and have breakfast children.” We heard Maa say and Mahek ran towards the dining table immediately. I chuckled at her action.
I froze when I felt someone pulling me by my waist. I lifted my head and saw him draping his hand around my bare waist. His tender fingers touching my waist gave some tingling sensations in me.
God! His cologne is very intoxicating.
“Le-Leave me.” I said trying to act firm but somewhere I failed. I tried to pull his hands away but his grip became stronger.
“Aww! Look at them. How romantic?” I heard Tapish say while heading towards the table. All the eyes turned towards us and more specifically towards my waist looking at his hand draping around making me uncomfortable.
His hold around me loosened and I immediately rushed towards the table.
“Come, I will serve you the breakfast.” Maa said while rushing towards the dishes.
“Maa, please let me do it today. You come and sit.” I said while making her sit on the chair. She smiled at me.
I started serving the food.
“So today’s special is paratha’s.” Mahek said while checking the dishes.
“Yes, I made it because Veeranshu likes it a lot.” Maa said with a huge grin.
I looked around in confusion.
“Who is Veeranshu, Maa?” I said and everyone froze.
