Chapter#15
He felt gloomy, for a reason he didn't even know himself. He felt as if this was wrong but then again somewhere he felt right, like this was meant to be and Lavanya, she didn't even feel sad for a second when Arnav told her about this whole fiasco, marriage. What if what Nk has been saying had been right all along since years? And Khushi had told him the same thing; this was so confusing, he didn't want to do this.
Khushi on the other hand looked around her room one last time. The little diary she had was kept on her side table. She quickly got up and put it inside her suitcase which had to be sent to the Raizada mansion. Khushi was about to cry but Payal's voice startled her.
"Khushi, we're going to be taken outside. I am so happy, you have no idea. I'll finally be with Akash, forever." -Payal said dreamily.
"Ahan, I'm happy for you too Jeeji." -Khushi said with a sigh. Khushi needed to be alone, she wanted to cry her life out but there was no chance of being alone. She knew her life would turn into a living hell from today. But she was happy for Payal. Khushi looked over at her; Payal was standing in-front of the mirror, looking at her self with a bright smile on her face. She was happy, really happy and it could be since on her face. Khushi smiled dreamily and soon after that Garima came in to take both of them downstairs.
Before going downstairs, Payal looked at Khushi with a confused look.
"Khushi, what's wrong? You haven't eaten or said a word since morning. All you do is nod or just answer my question." -Payal said keeping her hand on her shoulder.
"It's nothing actually I'm going to miss my room you know. I'll miss everything." -Khushi said smiling brightly.
"You're crazy." -Payal whispered and went ahead.
Khushi and Payal both started walking down the stairs. They looked beautiful. Payal and Akash were looking at each-other like little love-birds, where as Nk looked at Arnav and he was busy with his phone. Nk felt sorry for Khushi, she already looked lifeless, pale. Nk knew he had to do something for them. He wanted his best-friends to be happy; after all they were perfectly opposite to each-other yet looked beautiful together. Nk had marked up in his mind that he'd leave no stone unturned to get them together, he knew convincing Arnav was the difficult part but he had to. But first of all getting rid of Lavanya was on top of the list. He had to prove it to Arnav. It was now or never.
Nk quickly made his way to Arnav and whispered - "Your bride is here"
Arnav instantly looked up and saw her coming up at the Mandap and was stunned by how beautiful she looked. Khushi had no guts to look up and see everybody. She just wanted this to be over as soon as possible. As the rituals had started, they kept going on and on.
When Arnav was told to put the mangalsutar, Khushi couldn't control it anymore as Arnav clipped it from the behind a tear slipped her eye which didn't go unnoticed by Arnav. He felt miserable after that, and when he feels sad or miserable he becomes angry.
After biding good-bye to the brides and the Raizada's they were finally going home. It was the beginning of a happy life ahead for Payal and Akash. And a living hell for Khushi and Arnav. Arnav who didn't know his exact feelings for Lavanya or Khushi but Lavanya was no where near his mind after seeing that tear drop down on the floor from Khushi's eye. He was angry at himself and now all his angry would be take out on Khushi and somewhere deep down Khushi was already ready for the fight she knew they'd have in 'their' room. Because the night had just began.

Khushi's POV
Time and again, I had to remind myself that I was in the Raizada mansion and I had to smile every now and then. It was so damn difficult. I remember how my mother used to tell me those fairytales when the princess had to suffer a lot but in the end the prince would save her and they'd live happily ever after. Well, I don't see this sort of situation here also my prince is in love with some one else. That some one who doesn't even love him back; I don't even think he is in love with her but he can't face the fact that she is cheating on him.
But the good part is that Nk is here. Nk? I never even got to ask him what's with the nickname. Anyway, now I know at least I have someone's shoulder to cry on.
I suddenly thought about the next six months. I knew they'd be worse then hell. What if he hits me? Or slaps me? Shit, I didn't think of that. I was counting on my fingers to know when the exact date of these awful six months would end when I felt his gaze and also knew that silly me was lost in my own world, oblivious to my surroundings and now they'd be thinking I am weird. Anjali tapped on my shoulder and I was startled by that, truth to be told.
"Huh?" - I looked around here and there to see everybody staring at me. I mentally slapped myself.
"What happened Khushi jee? You seemed lost somewhere." -I heard concern in Anjali jee's voice.
"Oh no, I was ... um... just tired I guess. This is a heavy dress and the jewelry too." -I said trying to cover up. I really hoped they wouldn't tease me. I wasn't in the mood.
Although in movies and dramas, I loved such moments where the bride and the groom would be teased and they'd just stand there blushing. I wish... I could have a moment like that but no, this guy here doesn't even know how to smile. I bet he doesn't even know such muscles exist!
"Let us go, I'll take you to your room and you could change into something comfortable" -Anjali jee brought me out of my thoughts once again.
"Um... yes please." -I said as I got up.

When I was in my room, ugh... who the hell am I kidding, the Laad governor's room, I noticed his room was very depressing; black, grey, white, that's all I could see! This made me want to cry more too. But there were some rose petals on the recliner and on the bed. There were scented candles too. Oh! They had a pool side to this room as well. I never got a chance to notice his room before, not that I hadn't been here.
*
The doors opened with a creak and again thrice in this night I was brought out of my thoughts. What the hell was wrong with everyone? Or was I being too absentminded?
It was him, with a look of anger on his face of-course. He looked around the room with disgust. I knew what was coming now. 3...2...1...
"What the?" -he said gritting his teeth. I looked at him and was about to say something but he didn't let me.
"What the hell are you looking at? Get off my bed, NOW!" -He was almost shouting but I don't think it would've gone out of the room. Well it doesn't matter how loud he was, the thing that snapped me was 'my bed'.
"What, your bed? Your bed? It's my bed too. If you think it's yours then your mistaken Mister. You should have thought about what's yours before marrying me. You freak!" -I said gritting my teeth and pushed him off.
He was obviously not expecting that. Also I kicked my self mentally.
"You shouldn't have done that. How dare you!? It's my bed and I'm going to sleep on it! You know where your place is? You get to sleep on the poolside. I don't know what I was thinking before marrying you."- He barked as the pressure of his strong hands on my poor arms increased. But I won't cry in-front of him. Never!
"Fine, I don't want to sleep with you either. That bed? I hope... I hope it breaks. And it will! I can't even breathe in the same room as you. It's disgusting. I just... I hate you!" -I finally took it out. Really Khushi? I hope the bed breaks?
Though, I didn't want to say that. The look on his face for a millisecond killed me inside. But for a second only.
"Well, I hate you too and you deserve all this pain." - he said and the next thing I know was he grabbed hold of my wrist and pulled me to the poolside and slid the door shut on my face. I was a second away from falling into the pool but I didn't thank god!
No! No 'thank god'. God has always put thorns in my path. I'll say I managed it my self, I recovered my balance. See Devimaiya I can do this my self!
He drew the grey silk curtains and I could see his dark shadow approach the wash-room. If that's what it was.

It had been an hour, I guess now. I was freezing to death. It was cold and only Payal and Nk knew that I was that sensitive to catch a cold. This cruel person didn't even give me a blanket or something. Also the bruises on my arms were really hurting me, they were kind of turning blue now. I rubbed them to soothe the pain but it only made it worse.
I needed my diary and some thing sweet to eat. My diary? My diary was in my bag. Inside the room. Shit. I slowly got up and looked here and there. I slide the door carefully only to see him sleeping peacefully. It was 2.a.m. He even looked good while sleeping. How much more complicated my life could get?
But I had made my decision, this was the last time he had heard my voice, I won't argue with him anymore or talk in-front of him. I'd be happy in-front of others and try not to show my face to him. I'd talk to him when necessary, come into the room when he'd be sleeping or not around. I won't be sad at all. He can go to Lavanya, the bitch! If I keep following these rules I'd be able to succeed the exam of six months. I smiled as I was satisfied, but it did hurt my heart though.
I stopped, rooted to my spot as I saw him move. Pease don't wake up! Please don't wake up! I wished and bit my lip. I sighed as he shifted a bit more and then settled down.
I quickly ran but stopped in my tracks again. My anklets! I bit the tip of my tongue. I took them off carefully and kept them on the dressing table. I hadn't even changed. I took hold of my lehenga and walked to my luggage which was kept on the left side of his wardrobe. I unzipped it and took my diary out which was thankfully on the top. I got up ran to the front door and left for the kitchen because it was Jalebi time!
