ch1 fate

"fate has a wicked way of turning the wheels of your life ,put you into a situation you never thought was possible"

arnav got out of the motor car as they reached the place where he will lose his freedom . his dreams . this day will be the beginning of his doom , he will be stuck here like all the man he knew are. his grandfather clearly knew that right now he wanted concentrate on his studies , he wanted be a engineer , wanted to create things but no his grandfather is hell bent on making him plough fields or look after the labourer's on the farm , give him a f**king heir.

arnav ran a frustrated hand through his hairs to ease of the thoughts running in his mind but nothing is working , anger inside him is building up. if not for the women of his family he would have ran away , he should have ran away just like he planned earlier but he thought maybe his grandfather would listen to him , he wont force him but how wrong he has been.

fine then! its time to change the plans. his grandfather is making him marry just because his brother and his wife aren't able to give an heir even after five years of their marriage good then ! he wants an heir he will give him a bloody heir .

bed the girl , get her pregnant , put the boy in his grandfather's hand and get your freedom . his responsibilities will be over towards his family and he will be free to do as he wants .

after having meal , all the rituals started from their side . he sat on the horse , while all his male relatives danced like there is no tomorrow . arnav could just roll his eyes on them .

they entered the hall where the mandap was set .arnav hated wearing this heavy embroidered sherwani with that the sword he needed to carry as per the tradition .

arnav sat down in the mandap following instruction of pandit for few rituals he needed to done alone while a man recited the list of dowry items that bride side is giving the groom. the list was endless , kilos gold and silver jewelery , clothes, luxury items, 10 acres of land , 10 buffaloes and many more .

shyam sat next to him , teasing him for his newly married life. arnav was clearly not in the mood to enjoy it. his grandfather was missing somewhere , where is he . he haven't seen he from the moment they have come here.

feeling the sudden change in environment , he turned his eyes towards the door where sound of bridal songs were coming .so the bride is here finally , let this get over with.

everyone looked as the bride entered wearing red lehanga and veil that covered her face fully . she was walking in slow steps . arnav went numb in shock as he saw the girl coming towards where he sat . it cant be! no ! his grandfather would never or would he?

"great! my grandfather is getting married me to a dwarf." arnav could not stop himself from letting his anger come out like this . he knew he was quite loud and people are now taking about his reaction but he didn't care . how could his grandfather do that do him .its a matter of his whole life.

"its not a dwarf you idiot! its small girl . she will grow with time" his grandfather's word made him look at him with confusion .

"you said the girl was just one year younger than me and quite educated if i remember. how can she be this small in height then" arnav whispered these words cautiously. he knew better to aggregative his grandfather who was looking quite disturbed already .

"bring you left hand forward" he said

"what?" arnav looked confused , his grandfather pushed his hand forward towards the pandit who put the bride's hand in his, making him realize that now the girl is siting beside him and rituals started . arnav kept on looking back at his grandfather for him to stop this wedding but he never did. his stern expression told arnav something is wrong but what his biggest worry was to make me agree to this marriage so whats worrying him now.

bride and the groom completed all the pheras as directed by the pandit . he tied the mangalsutra and filled her mang by putting his hands inside the veil . he sure heard a giggle when he accidentally put some on her nose. arnav tried to pull away the uneasy feeling inside him but it kept on growing every second .

what's wrong?

----------------------

finally they reached the raiazda haveli thankfully the distance between the two village was not so long otherwise it would have taken them days to reach back . before getting out of the car he looked in the rear view mirror to see his bride head bent back on seat probably sleeping while her cousin brother who sat beside her tried to wake her up .

uneasiness is just growing from the moment he felt something had gone wrong and his grandfather's angry expression proff of that .what shocked arnav was the behavior of his bride who seemed oblivion to the happenings of the day . she did not shed one tear while her mother cried hugging her , it looked as if she did not understand what is happening. he remembered how her sister anjali had cried at time of her wedding as if she will never come back to this house again. but his bride did not seem to care .

bride hit the rice filled kalash and entered the house that when he noticed her feet , small feet . they sat down to find the ring from the tray of milk , he saw her getting excited at the prospect of a game. arnav started to observe the tiniest detail about her ,she giggled like young girl excited to play , her hands seem small very small in front of his .she...

oh! the ring fell from his hand as the realization stuck him. he should have know this , these things happened , it has happened in his house too.arnav stood up shocked and went to find his grandfather angrily .how could his grandfather betray him like this? how? he knew? he...

arnav entered his grandfather's room to see him in a serious discussion with his father. he did not waited for their talks to get finished , he needed answers and he needed them now.

"why did you do this? you betrayed me. you told me she is just one year younger. how could you ? you know how difficult ...? why? why?" arnav took deep breath to calm his anger down , but he cant stop himself from showing the frustration and anger he is feeling now.

"i did not betray you arnav . they did" his grandfather replied making him go confused.

looking at his confused state , arvind raizada explained him everything .

*FLASHBACK*

shashi requested to talk to him privatively to which he had obliged happily . he knew shashi will be asking about the arrangements and if the dowry is sufficient or if he needed something else . but to his surprise shashi showed him the bride who was looking quite shorter to the last time he had seen payal in his village who had in for her relatives wedding .

arvind looked at him confused

"its my late sister's daughter khushi. i would be very grateful if you accept her as your daughter in law" shashi said making arvind look at him sharply

"where is payal?" he came staright to the point .

"she has eloped" shashi said his head bend down in shame , his hands curved together in plead

"what! your girl has dared to disgrace our family's owner. she " before arvind can complete shashi did for him

"i will kill her with my own hands babaji , such vile girls do not have right to live."

after a small pause he continued.

"to save your family owner it will good if khushi married arnav"

"how old is she?" arvind asked controlling his composure , if ithas been someone else in shashi's place he would have already shunned the whole family for daring to betray his family's honor like this

"13" garima replied in meek voice holding little khushi closed to her heart ,she did not wanted to marry khushi so early ,as she herself had felt the burnt of it but she do not have a choice now. her daughter's shameful act has made her succumb to her husband's decision .its the only way otherwise as influential man like arvind raizda would finish them from the face of earth , her's father in law saving his life would succumb to nothing in his eyes .

"has she bleed ?" arvind next question made garima gulp in fear , not getting a reply , he understood what it meant

"you broke your promise shashi . we wanted the bride who gave us an heir not a bud"arvind said clenching his teeth in anger .he needed an heir since his elder grandson has not been able to fulfill this wish as yet he had it all riding on arnav . he knew how other landlords are making fun , how they are ready to takeover his power the moment he fall week . his son has been nothing but useless always busy with womens , he don't care how many and who he f**ks what matters is he concentrate on the protecting his family linage and name .

"she will bleed soon and will be capable enough to bear a child" garima worriedly seeing arvind move out of room angrily . "just few months more" she added

"i would not have gone back on my words if it was not necessary" shashi explained , he pleaded him to understand him that how both their families reputation will be saved from this decision .

arvind had himself married at 16 with his 12 year old bride , she gave birth to his son at 13 . young girls can be much better breeder certainly otherwise how their ancestors who married so young would have given birth to so many healthy children .maybe he had been wrong to marry shyam to a 15 year old girl she might have not been so fertile .

"ok.this marriage will happen at any cost"

arvind moved out declaring his decision.

*flashback ends*

"she is a kid . how anyone can expect me to marry a child. i am not marrying anyone"

arnav corrected himself

"i do not agree to this marriage."

"arnav its not a choice you have here. you are married to her and she is your wife" his father yelled at him making arnav feel disgust at his father.

"she is a f**king kid" arnav screamed

"so ? i married your grandmother when she was 12 and we had your father the next year" his grandfather said firmly as if explaining him that his decision is final.

arnav hated this , hated this situation , this marriage .

"just for your honor you sacrificed me and my dreams" arnav looked at his grandfather with dejection

" the sooner you get her pregnant the sooner you have your dreams , i promise" his grandfather's word left her shocked do he know what he is saying .

"go son! give us a child and have what you want" his father words hit him like a arrow . wasn't it what arnav was planning to do earlier so why is he feeling so disgusted at the thought of it now because now it not a women but a small girl who should be playing with her friends not used as toy to some man's sexual satisfaction.

not able to stand in the same room as them arnav went away to get some fresh air , he is feeling suffocated .

---------------------------------------------------

khushi sat on the bed , which was decorated with so many colorful flowers.she has been trying to distract her from the thought of sleeping by playing with the flowers but now she is bored and tired . she just wants to sleep , her eyes started closing .while she slowly felt her body sink in the mattress.

"khushi do not sleep until your husband tells you too"

khushi eyes opened in jerk as her mother's warning word's came back to her.

she opened her eyes again ,started reciting the poem she has learned from her mother to keep her eyes open.

"khushi your husband will be your everything . make all the good food , follow whatever your in laws say blindly. never argue ok!"

again her mother's words came to her . her mother always things that she argues and does not do what other tells her to do but why do not they understand she will do what feels right to her only na.

"i do not like him . he looks angry. "khushi has said to her mother as she looked at a scowling arnav sit beside the pandit . khushi always has been true to her name , she loved laughing , she loved to make other's laugh and she clearly hated people who always remained angry .

"always follow what you husband tell you to do. do not question , do not stop him even if it pains like hell "

pains like hell but does her mother meant by that , will he pull my ponies like rohit does when he loses in game to me or will he slap me like mother do when i do a mischief .

"if he hit me , i will kick him back too" she had said this back to her mother who had looked at her with scandalous expression .

"you cant do that khushi. a wife cant hit her husband" garima had explained

"why cant she ? papa hit you na , when he gets angry so why cant you?" khushi's innocent question had made garima's eyes wet with hurt but she explained what her mother explained to her at time of her marriage.

"husband is god for his wife . she needed to take care of his needs , his family needs to the best. its her duty" garima said stroking hairs of little khushi

khushi had looked through the window at that time to observe arnav fully only come to one conclusion .

"he has only two hands and he is not even blue like krishna neither he has snake around his neck like shivji ,so how can he be god. aren't god lives in the sky so how come he is here on earth" khushi has asked it so genuinely that even garima was tongue tied at her question .

not having more strength to answer khushi's questions anymore , garima glared at her , ending their discussion and taking her out to complete the marriage .

khushi was on the verge of losing battle to sleep when a loud sound of banging of door make her jump in her place scared.

she saw her groom's leg from below the big veil still adoring her face .he was coming near her .why is she feeling so uneasy . khushi gulped as she saw his hand come near his waist .

was he going to...pinch her khushi thought or maybe tickle her . she is very ticklish at her waist and she hates when someone tickle her there.

he felt him sit in front of her and his hand going to her right ,khushi cluched her eyes close and she don't remember what happen next when she heard a yelp sound come from him. was he in pain?

"what the!" arnav screamed clenching his stomach in pain , his right hand holding the cushion, he was aiming to get from her side.

realization dawned on khushi as what have happened .

she has just kicked her husband on stomach on her first night.not her mistake he should have told her that he was just taking the cushion and not going to tickle her .

she has very reactive body no her mistake clearly . but what would she do now? his body looks tensed , she can feel his anger brewing up .

will he hit her ?
