Your Mom: Alisha.. Are you fine?
Alisha: Yeah.. Mom.. I'm fine. [Sighs]
Your Mom: Darling.. It's your wedding today and you don't look happy.
Alisha: I'm happy Mom. [Wearing bangles]
Your Mom: You can't hide it from me Alisha. Your eyes are telling me that you're upset. Now tell me why?
Alisha: Mom.. Don't you think, I'm too young for this?
Your Mom: What too young? You're 23. [Fixing your makeup]
Alisha: I mean.. How will I manage? I can't take care of myself, how will I take care of them?
Your Mom: I know you'll manage, babe. It's not a big deal. Ajey is a really nice guy. You'll be happy.
Alisha: What happy? I don't even know him well, yet. Just because of you and Dad, I said Yes for our wedding. [Making a weird face]
Your Mom: C'mon baby.. You'll get to know him well, when you'll start living with him. Now stop making weird faces, you look crazy.
Alisha: I'll miss you Mom.. [Holds her]
Your Mom: Me too. Now get ready fast.. Everyone's waiting for you. [Kisses on cheek]
You smiled at your Mom's word but deep inside, you were still tensed about the future. Somehow you managed to console yourself.
[Your Parents and Ajey's Parents are family friends. Once, In a family function, Ajey's Mom kept her proposal for Ajey and your wedding. Because of being close and known with each other's family, everyone agreed.]
Your Mom left. After sometime you too went downstairs for your wedding.
The wedding was all done and now you were in Ajey's room, looking at pictures on the wall.
The door opened all of a sudden, you got panicked a little and turned around. It was Ajey. He came inside with a furious expression on his face, looked like he just shouted on somebody.
He came in and went towards the side table. You moved aside and sat on couch. You were just staring at his weird activities. He wasn't talking to you. In fact, he wasn't even looking at you.
There was an awkward silence inside the room. None of you were uttering a word. Finally Ajey broke the silence.
Ajey: Alisha right? [Looking at his phone]
Alisha: Ye..Yes.. [Nervously]
Ajey: I'm wondering, my parents selected you just on your looks. I mean you're beautiful but still, Isn't it funny? [Chuckles]
You remained silent.
Ajey: I don't even know you and they got me married to you. [Chuckles]
Alisha: I don't know you as well. [Politely]
Ajey: No need.
He got up and took few steps towards you.
Ajey: Look Alisha.. I wanna make something clear, firstly.
You nodded your head lightly.
Ajey: I know we're married because of our parents. But don't try to be my wife. I love someone else. I just married you because of my Mom's word. Clear?
Alisha: Yes.. [Politely]
Ajey: And one thing.. Don't ever interfere in my life. We'll stay together for some months and then I'll give you divorce. You'll be free to go. Okay?
Alisha: Okay.. [Looks down]
[Your POV: Wow.. We're already getting divorve. Great!]
Ajey: Don't worry.. If you, too, love someone else then you can tell me. I mean.. Boyfriend?
Alisha: No.. No boyfriend. [Awkwardly]
Ajey: Ahem... [laughs]
You got up and went to washroom to change your clothes. Ajey stretched on bed and started scrolling his phone.
You came out of the washroom.
Ajey: You may sleep on the couch, I don't share my bed. [Looking at his phone]
[Your POV: What the hell? Why is he even sharing his room then? God... Why I agreed to get married? I'll go crazy with this man.]
It was middle of the night. Ajey was asleep but you were awake. Your eyes were wide open. Ajey's words were killing you inside. But the thought of divorce, gave you relief. You consoled yourself by the thought that you only have to manage this drama for few months. Thinking of this you felt asleep.
