chapter 15

Aarushi's pov

What was happened with me in a blink I can't understand. When I told everything in front of everyone I thought that that man my husband tried to defend him or said that its  normal or anything creepy as I assume from Tushar bhai and Priya bhabhi words. But it's totally opposite he told us that he already fishy about bhai condition that's why he put condition to marry me the very next day. That all fake a lie a white lie. About Tushar bhai condition i knew that it was his and bhabhi plan. They are like this always greedy. But what is my fault in all this.

My life change three sixty degree here I'm married and my husband dare me to go away from him he  will kill my rest family and also I kind of like his family.

But on the top of all these what is the shocking for me is that he my husband talk to me lovingly. I saw his demeanor when he talk to jiju and then suddenly when I said his demeanor change and he talk to me politely. Like seriously he has double personality disorder.

Right now we are in guest room Abhishek bhaiya he also kind of surprised like everyone has. I saw at Maa she looked surprised and hurt. The way papa and dadu looked at me saying that I'm there daughter and I didn't go anywhere this is not an order they try to convince me give a chance to this. However happened all this the facts are bitter and I have to bear it.

"Its final you gave divorce to him" Manisha di said as we entered in room and jiju lock the door.

I'm not surprised I know it's her common reaction. Neeraj jiju looks very calm and deep in his thoughts.

I didn't say anything I can't told them that words he told me that night. Di made me sit on bed and sit besides me held my hands and told me lovingly

"Aaru it might going to tough for you he is not capable for you. You told them that you didn't wanted to live with him and divorced him. His family understands everything. It's a forced marriage"

It is a forceful marriage even I don't want anyone in my life my dark past enough to haunted me and I didn't want that someone share my darkness with me. I can't put their happy life in dark because of me. But this marriage now everything change I don't want to share my past he didn't let me go, he had a loving family which I also want share and most important I'm married I never hate this marriage I hate the hidden reality which is now I know not true. That's all a mere trick to get money or profit by me. I don't know what to do. His family desperately want me to stay here they care for me but what about Avinash.

What is my place in his life just a namesake wife whom he married for just his family or a person whom only he accept because he wanted to teach a lesson to Tushar bhai. Who I am?

"Aarushi what did Tushar told you when Rathore's came home for you?" Neeraj jiju asked me.

I remembered their words. " They said that they are Papa's some old business friends."

Jiju and di share a look. Now I understood its all start from there. They got a jackpot which was self walk to them so they plan all this.

"Aarushi I will say to stay here but last decisionis yours" Jiju said and make me and di shocked.

Some minutes back he is eager to return from this and now he said that stay here. These men all are mad makes my life hell.

"Are you mad Neeraj?" Di lashes out and he calmly said her

"Listen firstly divorce didn't happened before six months of marriage and if we file divorce, court might be told them to stay together to give a chance. So she stays here for six months and after that if she wanted to get divorced no one stop her not even his family."

Aargh I'm tired no one listen to me giving me mere explanation and told me to do everything can't I have an opinion too its my life I have  to tolerate that man.

"Di I'm satying here moreover his family is nice so I live here." I told them trying hard to control my tears. Why everything happened to me?

I'm staying here his family is caring. I love to live with them and what if I decide to go with di my dear husband can't live me and them peacefully. At least from staying here I get a family and about to give him divorce I thought about it later.

Di looked at me shocked shaking her head "unbelievable Aarushi. Why are you want to live here?"

"He had a great family di. I want this" I said them and gave them a assuring node.

"But Aarushi you have to promise us that you call us even you have minor issue and after six months if you wanted  to divorce him we are with you. Ok just some months" Neeraj jiju told me I nodded and turn to di. I hug her tight and mumbled

"Di I'm fine here they care for me please" i tried to convince di.

She nodded and we came back in living room. There all waiting for us. Mr Rathore my husband stand as he saw us all gathered near us. And jiju told them my decision. Papa patted my head and told that they all with me. Just for them I decide to stay here. I don't know what my future hold but hope I never regret this decision.

But to my surprise jiju threatened him.

"Take care of her  otherwise next time I will took her back and no one stop me"

no no please jiju he had gun he did anything he told me that he can harm anyone if I try to go away from here please for God sake jiju stop.

And here di looked at him like she will kill him.

God kaha phas gyi me...

"She's my wife I hurt myself but never hurt her." He answered and I looked at him with surprised.

Neeraj jiju and Manisha di turned to me and di said

"Now we have to go take care and call us"

"How's kittu? Where is he?" I asked her in all this I didn't asked about my baby.

"He is fine and he miss you alot. He is with his nanny" di told me and they both turned to everyone and joint there hands bid them.

Di and jiju hugged me I tried to control my tears but some tears flow without my knowledge. I walk them till door but as I took step to went outside someone held me hand I turned to saw who it was? It was him my husband Avinash Singh Rathore with a expressionless face.

I bid them bye and came back in living room. I'm ready to answer there all questions. He still held my hands it gives different emotions. His touch is different.

Maa came and engulf me in a hug I saw her eyes moist all the time. Some minutes later she break hug and wipe my tears.

I feel guilty to not trust them in first place I feel that all was genuine care towards me but still there is something which is stop me to trust them completely. And all this brought me up here if I told them all this earlier hope all this misunderstanding didn't happen.

"I am sorry because of me all this happen......but how I told you all this it's....." I said feeling guilty but words are not formed how I told them those creepy words stop me how.

"Aarushi no its not your fault it's that nonsense person who think that cheap. And we are not angry on you" dadu said.

I looked at them they gave me that warm caring smile from first day. I think it's the feeling I yearning all the time first time someone trust on me. I never break their trust.

I gave them a smile. Hope they are with me always.

"Aarushi now go take some rest. I send something to eat for you. Ok" Maa told me and I nodded in yes.

I turn my side and there he stand all the time I feel his eyes on me. Does not he look at something else. He had a Mansion looks on painting on floor not to me.

I make a step forward to go but he held my hand and go with me to upstairs. He didn't look at me nor free my hand I kind of trying but he had those big hands and muscles how I free myself from him.

We stop in front of his room and he put code ok this room is have digital lock system. Before that whenever I came out from room and went to room he is with me and open door so I didn't paid attention. He even told me the code.

Seriously dude what if I ran from here. I know its impossible but suppose.

We went into room and he free my hand. We stood front of each other. I looked everywhere except him and his eyes is only on me.

"Why didn't you told me before all this?"

He asked and take a step forward to me.

I take a step back didn't gave him answer. Why he is asking me all this?

If he really care for  me that he have to asked me all this last night when he even  shout on me which reason you don't know. Suddenly he show his sympathy for me I don't want his sympathy.

"You should have to meet me before or told me all this then situation must be different." He said and take an another step to me.

Like seriously Tushar bhai and Priya bhabhi let me meet you they didn't even told me your name. Aargh God what I do.

Avinash's pov

I control my smile when I saw tension lines on her face she looks cute and adorable. Her brother in law threatened me doesn't he know he I am or what my family is.

Her family doesn't know that Aarushi is a Mafia king's wife and Mafia's daughter in law. She have more power then any other person near there. But we all quiet because at that time our sole goal to convince her to stay here. And she agreed on this. In future I clearly show her what power she hold on me.

We were in our room till before I told her passcode of this room. All rooms have there passcode and only Mom knew my rooms passcode. I didn't allow anyone in my room and my study.

I asked her that why she did tell me before or at least meet me once. I knew her asshole brother did many things wrong to her and I want to hear all this so I gave her thousands times more pain that he gave to my wife.

"How I told you before he is my brother I believe him....." She said more like whisper if I didn't stand near her I can't hear all this.

"Hmm but for  now change and rest properly and don't take any stress" I said her looking at her. She look at me in my eyes looking for something. I saw that she confuse about my behavior I behave like a jerk last night.

I apologize for everything but not like that. I wanted to give her something which she deserves. Her doe eyes echoes I want to hear all her silence want to take all her worries sorrow and gave her a happy life.

She divert her gaze and starting fidgeting with her fingers she is nervous. She still wears that saree and jewelry that mom gave her in morning.

But what I love in this moment was our height differences if I hovered over her I will be cover her whole, her petite figure is looking very delicious in this saree.

Fuck my horny hormones. I took step back to make more distance between us. She hurriedly turned and stood near bed side table and took chudda which I took off before.

"You don't have to wear it until your injury recovered" I said her. And her hands stop immediately. I waited for whole minute if she told me something or ask me about that. I wanted to hear her even if she curse me but I can't bear her silence.

I huffed in my situation and went out of room and went to study. There Krish was waiting for me. All the time he gave me death glare he told me before that she is innocent and naive and I agree with him. But how situation changed in last minute change all my perspective.

He is the first who called her bhabhi he have a sisterly feelings for her. And after hearing all this what facade his brother make he happily took a brother position in her life and I know he will be a good brother.

I enter my study and saw him sit on chair fuming. I sat front of his chair.

"Don't you told me that you will talk her?" He questioned me. He try to control his anger.

"Tushar  told me just before our wedding that she try to ran away with her boyfriend with that given property and somehow they catch her." I told him everything what Tushar told me.

He is angry shocked just like me. He is the one who knows about this things even he met Tushar when he came to my office to meet me.

"So what you think now?" He asked me and I gave him a devilish smirk

I sat comfortably on my chair and said

"I start my plan to destroy him and his wife. Both are in Mumbai"

I sent my man in this morning at her old house and we get to know that they both ran away just after the wedding. Must eager to destroy by me.

I talk with Krish for sometime about my plan and business and then I went to my room to look what my little cute wife do.

I went in our room and saw her sleeping peacefully on bed she must be exhausted and tired by all this. She need rest and proper care and I'm here for that. She changed into a simple saree. Did it comfortable for her? I mean she looks amazing in saree but I think its not comfortable for her. I thought to talk about it later but not before she is little bit more comfortable with me.

After hearing her brother and his wife what told her about this marriage no girl can be ready on this. She is innocent pure for that harsh words. But I know there's is the more with she hesitate to talk about this. I hope one day she trust me and told me everything. Then I gave them the real punishment which only my inner beast gave.

Author's pov

Its been past nine at night when Aarushi stirred in her sleep. She's is tired and those medicine gave her a much needed sleep. She rub her eyes and sat on bed. Avinash sat on couch working on his laptop. Couch area are  apart from bed area by a glass wall. Avinash saw her sitting on bed and went there.

She ran her hands In her hairs to make it untangled.

"You up?" Avinash asked her standing near bed.

Aarushi looked at him. He stand near bed with a distance wearing white t-shirt and trousers crossing his arms near his chest. He have a worried expression on his face. She saw care and worry for her.

She nodded and said

"I'm good now. Thank you"

Avinash didn't like how she reply him with all the formalities but he knows about last night behavior of him with her he clearly deserved it.

He hummed and stand there.

"You change I bring dinner for us" Avinash said and turned to go. Aarushi looked around her and look at wall clock it past dinner time. She is afraid that other family members might be angry on her because first she is sleep til late and secondly she is daughter in law of this house so it's her duty to cook for them. What are they thinking of her?

Thinking about all this she decided to take a quick shower and change and after that she went downstairs to say them sorry.

She went to bathroom take a quick shower and remove her bandage. She took a simple saree from her suitcase she is afraid to touch anything here. She thought Avinash got angry when he know she touch anything in his room. She come outside after changing and stood front of vanity. She apply moisture lip gloss and fill her hairline with vermillion.

She takes steps towards door when it open and Avinash came in with two plates in his hands. He saw her and gave a smile. She stand there fumbling in her steps ,  what she do now?

"Come eat your dinner" She came back from her thoughts hearing  Avinash voice. And went there.

He sat on couch he put on TV and took his food plate. Aarushi came with small steps still afraid from him and his nature. Avinash look at her she stand near couch fidgeting with her saree pallu.

"Aarushi sit and eat your dinner before its cold" he told her on little stern tone. Aarushi instantly sat on couch on other corner in fear and took plate and begin to eat. Avinash chuckled internally on her behavior.

They both were silent pretend to total focus on their food but time to time both took glances of each time to time.

"Didn't he eat his dinner? But what about others I have to ask him. But what  if he get angry but he always angry on me. His family is so nice it's bad if I don't ask about them" she thought and gather courage to ask him. She looks at Avinash who knows that she wanted to ask something but didn't.

"Ummm....did all take their dinner"? She asked him with difficulty.

"Hmm they did. They wanted to wait for you but I told them not to because you are sleeping" he told her but Aarushi's overthinking mind take this all opposite.

"Oo God they all must be angry with me. They waited for me to cook but here I'm sleep like I didn't from years. Why you gave me this much sleep. And most important what is the need to tell them there is no need to wait for me. this so called husband of mine is a big fool. Does Maa and he fight because I didn't wake up at time" She overthink whole scenario in her mind and stop eating.

"Hyee, Aarushi.....Aarushi where are you lost"? He patted her shoulder to take her back in real world.

"Sorry" She said and thought to said sorry to everyone for her mistake. She began to eat.

Avinash looked at her in adoration when she laugh watching Tom and Jerry in TV. Avinash put it thought it make to forget her her worries and he successfull.

"She's so adorable" he thought with a smile on his face. Her face shines like a star in his dark world. She is the light of his world.

After dinner Avinash took plates back to kitchen Aarushi try to pick her plate to went but Avinash took it from her and because of his fear she didn't apposed.

He came back Aarushi still watching Tom and Jerry and laughed more. Avinash is mesmerized in her beauty.

He gave her medicine with a glass of water. She gulped it with out any tantrums. Then he took ointment and sat near her. She stiffened in her face yet there are distance between them but it enough to feel afraid from him. He looked at her stiffened body and sighed internally.

"Hmmm doctor told to dress up your wound so..." he said hope she gave her hand to him.

"No I will do it  thanks" She said looking at her lap.

"Please it might be difficult for you. I can help" he told her most like pleading. Seriously a Mafia who didn't show any mercy on anyone who brutally killed his enemies pleading in front of his wife.

Aarushi looked at him. He make  a pleading face she huffed and snatched ointment from his hands and start to apply on her wound.

She hissed in pain and blow air she feel some other blowing air on her wound. Avinash.

She looked at her it's like he feel her pain he feel helpless to saw her in pain. The wound not on her wrist it's on his wrist.

She averted her gaze and try to bandage it but she had problem to tie knot Avinash help her silently and she let him.

"Drink your milk before sleep" he told her when she walked towards bed. He took his laptop and engrossed in his work.

Aarushi saw glass of milk near side table she hurriedly laid on bed cover herself till head.

She dozed off quickly because of the effect of medicine. After sometime when  Avinash came to look at her he saw glass of milk it untouched. He thought that she still angry on her so she ignored him.

He took pillow and went near couch to sleep. All night he didn't get proper sleep because he didn't fit on couch.

Aarushi's pov

My sleep broke by sun light. I quickly get up and looked around other side of bed neatly prepared ok he didn't came here. It's good even I'm not comfortable to sharing it with him.

I went to walk in closet and took a red saree from my suitcase. Priya bhabhi only pack four five saree and two three suits. How I manage now?

I took a shower and apply some moisture lip tint and vermillion. And loosely  braided my hairs. I pull out a small pouch from my handbag and took out some jewelry. One chain one ring and a bracelet this all I brought from my savings. I wear chain with my nuptial chain and wear braclet in left hand as my husband didn't let me wear my chudda in left hand. I looked at last time in mirror and went downstairs.

(Her outfit)

I still frowning as I didn't saw him where is he? I am not worried but what I say if everyone ask me about him.

Take God name I went downstairs. As I reach living room. Two bodies engulfed me in a tight hug. I went to fall but they both held me. My mind still processing that someone hug me and they both start to blabbering.

"Bhabhi how are you? Are you fine?"

"We miss you so much. We wanted to come to see you but your devil husband didn't let us"

"Bhabhi please say something"

"Duffers if you let bhabhi talk then she will. You both hang in her neck"

Now I recognize who they are. Abeer and Harshita hug me and Abhishek bhaiya stand there gave them a impossible look.

"O sorry sorry bhabhi" finally they broke hug and I took breath. I looked at them they both gave me an apologized look. They are so cute. I saw kittu in them. I gave them a bright smile and said

"I'm fine. And good morning"

"Good morning bhabhi" Abhishek bhaiya said and stood beside me.

"Please bhabhi don't tell bhai that I say him devil. I mean he is but....please" Harshita said gave me puppy look. I chuckled on her innocence and nodded in yes

"OK I don't say him anything"

"Bhabhi you are the best. But what happened to your wrist" Abeer asked me confused.

I thought didn't let them both know what happen with me they are innocent I don't want that there innocence kill after hearing the harsh reality. They don't deserve this.

"Its a little cut. It's heal in two three days." I said him and looked beside. I gave an assuring smile to Abhishek bhaiya and he nodded.

Harshita held my arm and said happily

"Come on bhabhi we will give you a tour of this Mansion"

"But I went to meet maa" I told them but Abeer held my other arm and said

"Mom herself sent us. So let's start the tour before my bade bhaiya came here"

"Yes, bhabhi took this" Abhishek bhaiya said holding me a glass of juice. And I saw some popcorn in his other hand.

"Mom told us to didn't let you walk without drinking or eating anything" he further told and I took glass from him.

I'm overwhelmed by their gesture I thought correct about them they are so generous. They care for me not to show but in real. I'm happy to took decision to stay here.

Whole Mansion is so beautiful simple elegant classy yet royal. Some corners gave me a royal feelings. They told me that Maa design this whole interior with preference of everyone. Whole time I drink  juice and eat some dry fruits. We all feeding each other.

Today I know that there are two swimming pools, one basketball ground, one theater, a beautiful garden which more like a field. We can built a Mansion on this.

And harshita is Papa's assistant daughter Mishra uncle I think they are the one who came to pick me from home, her mother died so sometime she live here and for Rathore's she is their daughter. I think I love this family.

Krish bhaiya the other boy whom I saw before and even yesterday was best friend of my husband. He also sometime live here. His parents live in London and he live here for business.

At last we all stand after a wooden door. They three gulping in fear looking at it.

"Why we are standing here"?

I asked them in shaking voice I don't know but It gave me a different vibes.
