My son is whipped

Author's POV

Sitaara was looking at his back with tears remembering Viraj. Aarya came to her and held her hand.

"You okay babe?" She asked. Sitaara nodded.

"Come let's go to my room I've something to show" said Aarya with fake excitement and dragged sitaara to her room.

"He behaved exactly like him" said Sitaara looking at Aarya as tears were rolling down her eyes.

"You are crying about that?" Asked Aarya. Sitaara nodded wiping her tears and sat on bed.

Flashback

"Please Raj!! Let me go, my family is missing me and even am missing them too" said Sitaara.

''No, you aren't going anywhere" said Viraj sternly.

"Raj" she whined.

"No, Taara. How can I stay here in mumbai without seeing for a week? You are not going" he said hugging her tightly.

"Even I can't stay without seeing you, Raj but I need to go. Because we both miss each other, can't stay away from each other, I didn't meet my family for 6 months" she said hugging back.

"Still, I don't want to send you" he said stubbornly.

"Let her go, Viru. Even she has a family and wants to meet them" said Vindhya, Viraj's mother.

"Bas karo, ma. Main mere hone wali biwi ko nahi bejoonga" shouted Viraj and pulled Sitaara to him leaving no space. Forgetting the fight, she blushed hearing 'biwi'(wife).

( Stop it mom. I won't send my soon to be wife).

"Bro you are whipped'' said Arjun chuckling. Viraj kicked him on his butt playfully and turned to sitaara.

"Am not sending you baby" he said nuzzling his face in her neck.

"Raj...please-"

"No. Don't make me mad Sitaara" he screamed pinning her to wall.

"You can't boss around her, Viru bhaiyya" said Vikram softly.

"Don't tell me what to do with my girlfriend. I have fucking rights on her. Just everyone stay out of it" shouted Viraj harshly. Vikram thinned his lips and nodded looking down.

"Please, Raj. I'll call you daily, I'll video call too. Let me go" said Sitaara cupping his face.

"Taara, my pumpkin, please understand baby. How can I stay without you alone here? Mile's away from you? Please" he said Viraj.

"You will be going to Delhi AIIMS, you have to be far away from me. How can you hold your feelings tight then?" She asked pouting. He eyed at her pout and smirked. Shaking his thoughts, he looked away.

"If that's the case, I'll give up on the seat. All I want is you, Taara. I'll do my masters in Mumbai itself" he said. She slapped him and pulled him to her by collar. Everyone gasped and tried to hold their laugh seeing Viraj's expressions.

"You are your only hope to your family. They are expecting you to become top cardiologist not a love sick puppy who runs behind me giving up on his dreams. If you really want to be with me giving up the dreams, it's better I go away from you-"

"You won't" he screamed pressing himself on her.

"I will. If you do such things. You are going to Delhi next month and am going to Hyderabad now" she matched his tone.

"I'll go. Fine? Now you just get the topic of going away from me to Hyderabad, off your head" he shouted holding her arms tightly.

"Viraj" warned Vindhya.

"Don't ma. Don't interfere please" he said dangerously.

"This all insane, Viraj. Let me go" shouted Sitaara pushing him. He raged to her and pinned her to wall and held her jaw between his fingers making her lips pout.

"Why can't you fucking understand Sitaara? You are not going. That's it" he screamed. Tears jumped out of her eyes. His eyes softened and filled with guilt immediately.

"Shit!! Baby...am sorry. Please don't cry. Hmmm...yeah... go to parents home hmm? You won't go right, even if I allow you?" He said trying to stop her. She chuckled at his words amidst of her tears.

"I will go. Dad is throwing a party. Sid anna is getting married'' said Sitaara. He placed his forehead on her shoulder.

"Hmm..go. I don't know how am gonna survive this whole damn week" he mumbled.

"I will try to come soon" she said hugging him.

"You should orelse I will drag from there abducting you" he said hugging back and nuzzled his face in crook of her neck making her shiver and blush.

"Ahem.. bhaiyya hum bhi hain yehaan" said Ishaan clearing his throat.

(Ahem..brother even we are here)

"Toh? Aankhein bandh karo. Aur yeh(Sitaara) tumhari hone wali bhabhi hain...am allowed to do anything with her" said Viraj pulling Sitaara closer. She blushed hiding her face in his chest.

(So? Close your eyes. She is your soon to be sil)

"Raj'' she called. He hummed.

"You should control your anger and this fierce attitude of yours" she said.

''I will try to control my anger, okay? But I can't promise you change in my attitude" he said.

"Atleast try" she said lifting her face.

"I can't promise about something which isn't gonna happen. You fell for this attitude of mine, then bear it. I don't like to change myself because of you and this relationship" he said. She sighed.

"Jiddee gadha" she mumbled making him laugh.

(Stubborn donkey).

"Anyways go safe, pumpkin. Your tears always betray me and tame my stubbornness" he said with sulking face.

"You are so cute" she said giggling. He pecked her forehead.

Flashback ends.

"How much I may try to stand strong. Your brother's anger always make me weak, I don't know why. After Viraj's anger, it's your brother's anger which always scares me. He behaves exactly like Viraj in every way" said Sitaara. Aarya chuckled.

"Why are you laughing bitch?" Asked Sitaara glaring.

"Because I find it it's ironic. I can't believe my brother is exactly like Viru bhaiyya even when they both don't know eachother. Even I observed his behaviour towards you, he behaves exactly like Viru bhaiyya" said Aarya.

"No can be like my Raj" she mumbled. Aarya smirked. Suddenly, Sakshi, Anjali and Damini came inside and looked at Sitaara.

"Am sorry on behalf of my son, Situ" said Sakshi sitting beside her. Sitaara shook her head.

"No! You don't need to be sorry. Parents are not reason for their kids behaviour all the time. It's sometimes their circumstances make them behave like that" Sitaara said smiling. Sakshi caressed her hair and kissed her forehead. Sitaara put her head in Sakshi's lap.

"But...I don't care if you agree or not, your son is a jerk and arrogant donkey" said Sitaara gritting his teeth. Sakshi chuckled caressing her hair.

"Don't worry, I agree with you. He is truly a jerk and arrogant donkey" said Sakshi making Sitaara grin.

"Athamma(mil) I will do something to him tomorrow which will make him send me away to my parents home for straight 2 months" said Sitaara with a evil grin.

"Is it, Taara?" Asked Abhi leaning on door frame with hands crossed over his chest.

"When did you come? Argh...I fucking don't care..go, go away you asshole" she barked at him and cupped her mouth realising the words she used.

Damn you Sitaara!!

How can you use bad words at their son infront of them?

You should keep a check on your words.

If at all you speak bad word from now, Riddhanth and Vikranth will shave their heads.

Yeah!! Deal!!

"Am sorry" she mumbled. Ladies chuckled.

"Good job, Situ. You need to be like this orelse they will dance on our heads" said Anjali chuckling.

"Wah! Pinni... instigating your dil against your son? Great!!" said Abhi sarcastically walking to Sitaara.

(Pinni:- father's younger brother's wife/chachi/ aunt.)

"Then? The way you behaved with her literally wanted me to hit you and you truly deserve her cusses" said Anjali. He gave a apologetic look and knelt before Sitaara. He held her arms and caressed the area which turned red and purple due to his hold.

"Am sorry" he said. ''You have such a sensitive skin, Taara. I don't say my hold wasn't tight, but it's been only 15 minutes and it turned out like this, am sorry again'' he applied cream on both her arms carefully like she is a glass doll. Keeping the tube aside, he held Sitaara's hands and kissed her palms making her flinch.

"Taara, am extremely sorry for behaving like a jerk and beast to you. Now, think practically sweetheart, how can I stay without you? Though it's for two days? You made me very lazy looking after my need and I need you in everything" he said and chuckled before continuing.

"As you told, one day, I will became even lazy to select my underpants" he said. She gasped at him and hit his chest making him laugh.

"Don't laugh. Am angry at you" she said. He laughed more making her smile.

"You are making me smile. Don't do that. I have to be mad at you" she said. He laughed again seeing her childishness.

"Don't go" he said. She pouted.

"Only two days, Mani. I will keep everything ready for you for your upcoming two days" she said. He sighed and sat beside her.

He warped both his hands around her and pulled her to him and dipped his face in her neck. Sitaara looked at the ladies and looked at her lap. She curled her toes due to uncomfortableness. Her palms were sweating. He nuzzled his nose in her neck. She slapped his thigh slightly asking him to move indirectly. He pulled her more and pressed his lips on her neck making Sitaara fist her short top due to uneasiness.

Aarya observed her friends uneasiness but didn't say anything as she needs to overcome Viraj and intimacy is best thing according to her.

Abhi fished out his phone moving away but his hand was still on shoulder while other holding the phone. He ringed Sid.

"Hello Sid" said Abhi.

"Hello bava(bil). How are you?" Asked Sid.

"Am fine, Sid. Hmm...you don't need to come to pick your sister" said Abhi looking at Sitaara. She pouted with tears like a kid who was kept in play school.

"Why, Abhi? Aren't you sending her?" Asked Sid in dejected tone.

"No!! I'll drop her. You don't need to stress yourself. It's my responsibility to drop her" he said. Sitaara looked up grinning.

"Okay? Bye, Sid. Take care of my wife" he said.

"Sure sure. We will take care of your wife" said Sid chuckling and they hung the call.

"Happy now?" He asked turning to her.

"More than happy. But you are still an arrogant jerk" she said giggling. He smiled kissing her forehead.

"But only 2 days. I saw Aastha coming here on pretext of 2 days and she stays for 2 weeks. If you do that I'll drag you from there" he said. She gave him a boring look.

"That's why you always accompany right? So that I won't stay there?" She asked. He nodded smiling sheepishly.

"You are really an idiot!" She said.

"Now go pack your bags" he said. She nodded and ran outside making him chuckle.

"What's the need to get excited like this? Her parents home is just 25-30 minutes away, she talks to them daily for hours through phone, they all have face time everyday, her day won't start without fighting with Ved still she misses them. Hmph!!" Said Abhi shaking his head in annoyance.

"You won't understand. Put yourself in her shoes, Abhi. She didn't know she was getting married suddenly. She never expected to marry you. She must have planned her days with her family before getting married but because of Sisira everything backfired. She still needs time to adjust to her sudden change in plans" said Damini. He nodded.

"Why did you behave like that earlier?" Asked Sakshi.

"Am sorry...I was mad when she told she will go, I acted impulsively as she will be away from me for two days" said Abhi.

"Akka(sis)...are you hearing him? Two months ago he wasn't even ready to marry and used to make a ruckus every time when we ask him to marry, now he wrapped himself around his wife's little finger" said Anjali.

"I didn't know it would affect me like this if she will be away from me only for two days. In two months I became so much habituated to presence around me that I can't believe the thought her absence for two days around itself really making me restless. I never thought I would marry but I did. I never thought I would depend on my wife so much that I even become lazy to wear my blazer, keep my wallet with me. I never thought I can be close to a woman after Samhith's life. I never thought I will fight with my wife to prohibit her from sending to her mother's palce just because I miss her" he said smiling.

"My son is whipped" said Sakshi pinching his cheeks.

"Ouch...mummy no!!" He said rubbing his cheeks. Sakshi chuckled.

"Am happy you accepted her as your wife" said Sakshi.

"I not only accepted her as my wife but my everything" he said looking at his palms in his lap. Sakshi chuckled.

"Shall we go Mani?" asked Sitaara coming inside with her trolley bag. He looked at her bag.

"Are you sure you are staying only for 2 days? Even there you have tonnes of clothes. Though don't need to pack bag, you did and woman, just look at it, it's like you are going on a trip" he taunted. She rolled her eyes.

"Actually my brothers are short off suits so I dumped all your suits in bag to give them as however you look worst in them" she said and smirked.

"My bils(Sitaara's brothers) don't need to wear my used clothes or which are bought for me. One word from them, I'll get whole mall to them" said Abhi smirking.

"If you really can do it, then just select one for you which can make you look handsome unlike ugly pig" she said.

"Ugly pig? Yesterday someone called me as King of hotness, sexy, handsome hmm? said Abhi raising his eyebrow.

"Yeah that was yesterday. To make you feel better I said those but actually I don't mean them at all" she said adjusting her hair not looking at him.

"I believe if you say so Sweetheart. Now, go and change into saree" he said sweetly.

"What's wrong in my outfit?" She asked looking at herself.

"You will go in jeans and short top? You are newly wedded and your neighbours expect you to come as a new bride" said Abhi.

"Am not going to their home. Am going to my parents home. I don't care what they think" she said.

"But I care. Now, go and change. We are getting late. I have an important meeting" he said and looked at his watch. She stomped her foot and went away gesturing Aarya to follow her.

He chuckled looking at her back. "My sweetheart'' he whispered smiling.

"Why did you ask her to change, Abhi? She was looking beautiful in that" said Anjali. He just smiled. Sitaara came back cladded in a green saree and twirled infront of him.

"I didn't like it. Change into another one" he said.

"What's wrong now in this?" She asked gritting her teeth.

"It looks like they are my grandmother's clothes. Too old!! Not trendy too atleast!!" he said.

"Mani-"

"If you don't want to go, am super fine-"

"I'll go and will change into something" she said cutting off him and ran to their room.

"What are you doing, Abhi? She was looking stunning in that saree, why did you ask her to change again?" Asked Damini.

"A small and sweet punishment for leaving me for two days" he said chuckling remembering Sitaara's angry red face.

"God!! This boy is so whipped" muttered ladies making him chuckle.

Abhi's room,

"What does your brother think of himself? Such a jerk he is. Arrogant giraffe. He is irritating me alot. I just want to bang his head on wall. I will teach him a lesson for messing up with Sitaara Dev Shetty" she said angrily as Aarya was draping saree around her.

"Stay still and you are Sitaara Abhimanyu Chowdary now, forget that you are a shetty" warned Aarya. Sitaara scoffed and took her phone. She ringed to Aastha.

"Hello Situ Vadhina (sil)" shrieked Aastha through phone. Sitaara chuckled.

"How are you and my niece?" Asked Sitaara.

"Am fine and your niece is super fine torturing me and Ani" said Aastha and they laughed.

"Anyways, I ringed you tell something, your brother Abhimanyu Jerk Chowdary, told that you come home on pretext of two days and stays for 2 weeks. He is really jerk, Vadina (sil). How can he say like that? He don't want his sister to be with him, he is such a-"

"Asshole" completed Aastha angrily. Sitaara smirked.

"Sitaara Vadhina (sil), your husband is gone today" saying this Aastha hung the call. Sitaara laughed imagining Abhi.

"You are still that old Sitaara, a evil witch. Traits won't change, will they?" said Aarya pinning Sitaara's pleats.

"Then, how can he do that to me? He should understand that dealing with Sitaara is equal to dealing with a fire" said Sitaara.

"Beautiful!!" Said Aarya looking at Sitaara.

"I know. Come let's go and watch the show" said Sitaara excitedly and ran out of the room.

She is changing!! For good!!

She is behaving just like when Viru bhaiyya was alive.

Though she is sad still, her eyes which had voidness is filling with happiness slowly and slowly.

Thought Aarya smiling following her. Sitaara gestured her to shoot the video of Abhi and Aarya nodded. They both stood at door step and saw Abhi talking to Aastha through phone.

"No, princess. Why will I say that? No no no, I Love it when you come here. No my baby sister, this is also your house. Aastha princess, please don't cry. Please. No stop crying aastha. Okay fine!! Am sorry. Aastha please my dear baby sister. Okay, I'll compensate my mistake taking you shopping, don't cry now. Woah girl!! Just a words 'shopping' made you stop crying. What? No I don't want to see you crying BTW who told you those words? Your sil? She is a fool. You don't mind her. Yeah..bye" he spoke to Aastha with many expressions changing from second to second.

Sakshi and Anjali looked at Sitaara and she smirked and winked in return making them chuckle.

"So it was your plan? Huh?" Asked Abhi standing up.

"Yes" she said and started running as he was taking threatening steps towards her. Aarya was shooting them as they were running down the stairs. Sitaara ran to Kitchen, porch, hallway, jumping on couch and Abhi followed her laughing. They both were behaving as kids- carefree and jovial. Tears sprang in Sakshi's eyes seeing Abhi laughing whole heartedly after damn 7 years.

"We have chose a right person for him, akka" said Anjali. Sakshi shook her head in no.

''God chose a right person for my son" said Sakshi with a smile adorning her lips as she was looking at her son and dil.

Abhi held Sitaara by waist from behind while both are laughing which is echoing in whole mansion at every corner and panting.

"Mani leave me" she said still laughing.

"Say sorry and free yourself" he whispered in her ears.

"Nope" she cooed shaking her head in 'no' and laughed.

"Apologize, Taara" he whispered which came out huskily and she shivered as his hot breath fell on her earlobe.

"Okay, I will. Leave me first" she said. He left her and turned her to him.

"Say sorry" he said. She nodded and smiled at him sweetly. She pulled him to her level by his collar and smirked. She flicked her nose with his's giggling.

"In your dreams, Mr. Abhimanyu Chowdary" she said winking at him and pushed him. He was still in daze looking at her figure which is ascending the stairs laughing at his face. She came back with her trolley bag while he was still grinning like a fool.

"Mister, shall we move?" she asked. He nodded. Maids kept the bag in car. Sitaara bade audie to everyone and sat in car. The car ride was silent and soon they reached Shetty's Mansion. Sitaara greeted the security guards as they opened the gates for them.

Abhi got down after parking the car and opened door for her while one of the maid took Sitaara's bag inside. Sitaara got down and was walking away after giving a small smile at him. He suddenly yanked her to him holding her wrist and pinned her to car flipping their positions.

"You are free for 2 days, sleep as much as you want, call me if you need anything, don't forget to close the curtains while sleeping orelse you will be disturbed early in the morning, don't run all around here atleast, have some rest woman! don't skip your meals, don't stay awake late at night, don't do any mischief, take care of yourself, don't rip Ved's hair off his scalp, I'll send your chocolates by evening but have them in limited as I don't want to see cavities in your teeth'' he said chuckling. She hit his chest and placed her palm on his chest to make some distance. Their eyes locked which made her feel his eyes as familiar, very familiar. He smirked placing his hands on either side of her and started leaning to her looking at her lips.

"What are you d- "

She stopped as he kissed corner of her lips making both their heart beats fast. Lingering his lips at corner of hers for more than time required, he pulled back leaving her flushed.

"It's punishment for not apologising me, sweetheart and it happens everytime you disobey me" he said with a smirk stepping back and sat in the car while she stood their flushed. She turned to him composing herself.

"Come inside. It won't look good to send son in law without inviting him in" she said peeking through window.

"Apologize your family on my behalf. I can't come inside as am having an important meeting in half an hour and it will surely take 25-30 minutes to reach my office" he said. She nodded understanding.

"Okay! Bye. I'll miss you" he said and rode away.

"Bye" she mumbled and started walking to entrance rubbing the spot where he kissed her.

She went inside tiptoeing and saw her grandparents. She went behind her grandfather and hugged his neck.

"I missed you" she cooed.

"Situ" Krishna, her grandfather breathed out and kissed her palms. She came infront and knelt before him.

"How did you come? Sid brought you here? He told he was busy" said Annapurna, her grandmother.

"First, I missed you so much" Sitaara said hugging her stomach. Annapurna chuckled caressing her hair. She pulled back and smiled.

"You look beautiful in Saree, Situ" said her grandmother and kissed her forehead. She smiled brightly.

"Mani..I mean Abhimanyu dropped me here-"

"Where is he? Didn't he come inside? Did you make him stand at door step like other time? How can you be irresponsible, Sitaara?" Scolded her Grandfather.

"I came just now and you started scolding me? He had an important meeting to attend which gonna start in half an hour. So he apologized for not making his appearance and went away though I asked him to come inside" she said pouting.

"Still-"

"I know you love your grand son in law very much but he couldn't make it. Now, acknowledge the presence of your grand daughter instead of crying for his absence" she said sweetly yet angrily. Couple chuckled.

"Sitaara" called Navya and Kyathi from behind. She grinned.

"Vadhina (sil)" she shrieked running to them and hugged them tightly.

"How are you both? And my champ? How is he doing?" She asked placing her hand on Kyathi's three months old pregnant belly.

"Your champ is doing well troubling me alot" said Kyathi.

"Hello champ, you have to trouble your father not your mother. Your father is an idiot. He always irritates me, even after going to my inlaws house he is irritating me. so I want you to side me and help me in troubling him. Till then stay healthy and don't trouble mommy baby" she said in her baby voice bending to Kyathi's stomach level. They chuckled.

"Mommy and daddy?" She asked looking around.

"They went to meet someone, will be back soon" said Navya. Sitaara nodded. They sat on couch with Sitaara in between them.

"So, we saw you both kissing" said Kyathi eating fruits.

"We both?" Asked Sitaara furrowing her eyebrows.

"You and I!! Idiot, It's you and Abhi we were talking about. Seriously, Situ we didn't expect him to be this romantic atleast not in open space at his inlaws home as he always stays silent and talks very little. Other than staring at you, he don't do anything and today he kissed you infront of us" said Navya while Sitaara is still confused. Kyathi shook her head sighing.

"He pinned you to car, placed his hands in either side of you, diverted you with his talks, came closer, leaned to you, both your bodies touched, fire ignited and boom, he placed his lips on yours suddenly" said Kyathi dramatically moving her hands in air for affects. Sitaara rolled her eyes remembering Abhi kissing her on corner of her lips.

"We had a pic of you both too" said Navya showing her phone. Sitaara's eyes widened seeing the pic. It's like they both are kissing eachother as photo was captured from 1st foor.

"Isn't it good?" Asked Kyathi smiling teasingly. Sitaara rolled her eyes.

"So, when is the good news?" Asked Navya.

"You both have gone crazy. Am done. Call me when dad and mom are back" saying this she ran to her room.

She banged herself on bed snuggling her face to pillow. She stood up with a jerk and ran to closet. Opening the locker she saw Viraj's picture. In no time her eyes started tearing up.

"I am missing you Raj. I need you. I want you. Everyday it's becoming hard to cope up. Still 4 months are left over Raj, I'll come to you soon and we both will live happily together. I love you" she cried hugging Viraj's picture

***************

What are you man, Abhi? Sometimes you will be angry? Sometimes you will be in teasing mode? Sometimes you will be romantic? What are you exactly?

Seriously guys am not understanding this man! You too feel that?

His sweet punishment? He is such a bully!

Sitaara's revenge? She is really a evil woman in sweet way, isn't she?

Viraj's possessiveness in past! Do you guys feel his possessiveness exactly like Abhi? His way of melting to Sitaara's tears like Abhi? Can two persons who don't know eachother personally be alike in everyway?

Sitaara and Abhi are getting close? But she isn't comfortable still and loves Viraj!

Is Abhi's heart gonna break again? Seems like he is very much into her!

Sitaara visited her maternal house! Is this distance between the couple though only for two days gonna strength their relationship or bring rifts inbetween them?
