'So now that u r my wife, I demand my marital rights' and he fastened his ear to the door and soon heard the low erotic moans and his face contorted in his demented fury and he stood there for a long time listening and listening, until Anjali called him from below asking him to come down quickly. (Note: I know it is creepy but I really wouldn't put it past the pervert!)
Arnav woke up as the first rays of the sun broke in and felt something warm cuddled in his arms and he opened his eyes. He stared transfixed to the beautiful sight of a Khushi with tousled hair sleeping like an angel and felt his hand moving as if it had a life on its own and brushed across her face clearing the tendrils of hair bothering her when the memories of yesterday rushed in and he snatched away his hand all gentleness forgotten.
He quickly got up and picked a change of clothes and walked in to the bathroom to have a shower and after a while came back in to the room to see Khushi waking up.
A completely befuddled Khushi woke up not realizing the nightmare she was in and looked around at the semi darkness around her (as it was still early dawn) in confusion at the strange surrounding and then she realized she was entangled in silk sheets. She looked down and as soon as she realized she was completely naked beneath the sheets she shot up clutching them with her hands, her eyes round with horror when the events from the night before flooded in to her memory.
And she looked up to see Arnav walking past the bed and going to the closet to take out a tie and mutely stared after him as he walked towards the dressing table and started picking his cufflinks. She stared at him wishing him to speak and he kept on ignoring her and continued getting ready.
He looked at her through the mirror and what she had said long ago came back to him,
"ki humare zindagi mein agar koi aisa hota ki humare saath rishta toh banana chahta par uss rishte ko koi naam nehin dena chahata to usse bada humare liye aur koi beizzati nehin hogi" (if any circumstances arise in my life where someone is prepared to have a relationship wih me but is not willing to give a name to that relationship, there would never be a bigger humiliation than that for me)
Finally he turned around and walked up to her and in one swift motion wrung the sheet clutched in her hands and threw it away stripping her of every defense, and whispered in an insolent tone,
"You should remember this when you feel like allowing that bas***d to touch u!" and leaned over her and traced a line down her face to her bosom and continued, "In front of the world You ARE MY WIFE now! People will expect u to behave like one! So u better, otherwise consequences would not be good for ur jiji"
Saying this he left her petrified on the bed and for a long while she didn't move to cover herself starring at the place where he just vacated. And finally as the horror of everything that happened until then overpowered her, she succumbed to broken sobs and dragged the bed sheet up to her chest clutching it hard. She slowly slid down the bed and crouched in a fetal position and cried for a long time until utter exhaustion claimed her and she fell in to a dreamless sleep.
A continuous knock on the door penetrated through Khushi's deep slumber induced mind and she buried her head deeper in to the pillow now wet from the hours of crying. And Payal poked a tentative head in to the room and stared as she saw Khushi sleeping between the sheets. She quickly stepped in and closed the door behind her and walked towards Khushi.
"Khushi'Khushi"
"Wake up"
"Thodi dhair aur sone dena jiji" muttered a disoriented Khushi, and a soft smile appeared on her face as she felt that she was finally waking up from that horrible nightmare! Why her jiji was waking up like always in the morning! And with that thought she got up like an arrow and pulled in a bewildered Payal in to a bear hug and laughed while tears streaming down her face as she kissed her sister like a child while telling, "Jiji I'm so glad you woke me up! I saw such a horrible nightmare..and I was'" her voice trailed away as her eyes finally opened and she took in her surroundings. Her breath hitched. It wasn't a nightmare, it was true. She was actually living it and with that the momentary euphoria that lifted her soul vanished leaving her more broken than ever.
She stared at her sister as Payal broke away from her to take a good look at her. And Payal's eyes widened as she realized Khushi's nakedness under the sheet as it had slipped down a notch as she was hugging her, and the bite marks trailing down her neck and vanishing under the cover.
She had been worried about Khushi, it wasn't like her little sister to do such a thing, and had wondered whether there might be another reason behind what happened. Khushi was childish, but she was stronger in moral values than anyone she knew. But when looking at her right now Payal felt that what Arnav said last night seems to be true as looking at Khushi it was clear that they spent the night as a married couple. And it made sense in an odd way that they might have been in love. And she was relieved somewhat that khsuhi seemed to be where she wanted to be. As for the tear tracks Payal thought that she was still worried about their mother's and buaji's reactions as well as the other Raizada's.
She caressed Khushi's cheek and affectionately said,
"Pagli now u r at ur sasural, u can't expect me to wake u up every day! U'll have to learn to wake up by urself"
Payal didn't want to talk about the previous day's happenings as Khushi seemed upset enough about them and said,
"I brought u a change of clothes. Go and change, I'll wait for u downstairs" saying this she got up from the bed and left the room giving a backward glance at Khushi.
Khushi slowly took hold of the Salwar Kameez jiji left for her and slowly got up from the bed gathering the sheet around her and winced as she felt a slight pain around her lower body and though it didn't hurt much she limped a little as she walked to the bathroom and closed the door.
She saw her reflection in the mirror and saw the faint trace of sindur left in her mang and the mangalsutra around her neck.
And her own words rang hollowly in her ears mocking her,
"Shadika idea hamare banaya hua nahi Mr. Arnav Singh Raizada. Hum ne nahi banaya ye rasam yeh bhagawanke diya hua ashirwad hai, iss duniyake sabse pavitra rishta hai. Jab koi kisike saath apni puri zindagi bithaneki wada kartha hai, jab koi kisike marneke bad bhi use alag nahi hona chahtha hai, jab koi dua kare uski saathike har pareshani use miljaye, har dard use mijaye, aur zarurat pade toh uske jaan ke badle who apni jaan de de.is wadeke saath hi zindagi puri hothi he'" (these are not made by me Mr. Arnav Singh Raizada. I didn't make these customs, these r the blessings given by god, the most sacred and pure relationship in this world. When someone promises to share her entire life with someone, when someone doesn't want to part from her partner even after death, when someone wishes her life partner's ever worry to be given to her, his every pain to be given to her instead and also if needed in return for his life, give up her own life. The life becomes complete with these promises'''') and she felt warm tears cascading her cheeks while the same lines reverberated again n again in her head while she stared transfixed at the very symbols that laughed at her face today. They mocked her cruelly reminding her again and again that her ideals had been nothing but that, ideals. They didn't mean anything more. They weren't true. After all he must be correct that he was the one who wrote his own destiny and the destiny of the one's around him cz he certainly was the one writing her own destiny.
And she walked towards the shower and stood under it and let go of the sheet she clutched around her and saw it fall and get soaked. And after a few minutes she sat down as she felt weak and saw the smudged remains of a few blood stains in it.
And she slowly scrubbed them away with her bare hands along with her innocence under the cascading water washing everything away in its stride.
