Mannat's Saree

Mannat's jewellery

Mannat's P.O.V

Just 2 hours ago I was a unmarried  girl but now I am sitting on a big king size bed waiting for my husband like a wife should. But the problem is I was not going to marry him. He was there to marry my step sister Riya who is 1 year older than me but at last moment our madam victoria decided to elope with god knows who.I am wearing a simple red saree and jewellery not the one that I dreamt was because today was not my marriage but it happened and now I am Mrs.Abhimanyu Singh Pratap.A devil's wife I have never seen him in person but I have heard about him from Riya when she use to brag about his looks and money.

I am nervous and scared will he accept me as his wife or will he avenge me for what Riya did. Plus this room is not helping me there is no one on this floor because no one is allowed ,this whole floor belongs to my husband not even his family members.His family consist of his Chacha-Chachi , 2 brothers one is 26 years old and another one is 17 years old.He does not have parents that I feel very bad about because I also don't have my mother died when I was 8 years old in accident and after that my dad also got distant and after marrying my step mother I am not sure he remember me. We were happy little family me , my mother and my father I was daddy's princess but after that accident everything changed he become cold and in 5 months he married to my step mother Anamika and she brought her daughter from her first husband with her after that my life become hell . She and Riya is good in front of my father but at his back I am even wrose than a servent in that house . I even have some scars of beating on body . My father does not talk that much but he always believe what Anamika or Riya says . 

Riya is a total golddigger , money hungry girl .She  was with Mr.pratap because of his power and money but suddenly what happened with her that she ran away.I was busy in my thoughts when the sound of door locking came indicating that mr.pratap is here. 

With his every step towards me my heart beat is increasing .He is wearing black Kurta payjama with black waist coat why is everything black.

He is walking greek god Mahadev ji a view for sore eyes . His aura is screaming power that made my fear rose 10 folds.

''Why didn't you change ''

His deep and husky voice made shivers run down my spine . I tried to answer but due to the mixture of fear and nervousness nothing came out of my mouth .

'' Mannat '' He called me and sigh . Then he sat infront of me and lift my veil which was practically transparent  ''You are looking very beautiful but  Why are you still in these clothes with this jewellary Mannat,you should have changed them .I am sure they are mking you uncomfortable''

What? I mean why is he not behaving like I expected him to like my step mother said to me he will.

He held my chin with his index finger and thumb firmly yet so softly like I am made up of glass , he forced my head upward and forced me to look into his devlish deep black eyes which make me shudder because His eyes are holding warmth in them which I not seen in anybodies eyes since my mother's death.

'' Mai janta hu ki tumhe bhot se sawal honge and I will answer each and every question of yours but first change your clothes hmm...take shower and change these clothes okk Mannat'' I am not able to process things suddenly he stand on his feet and make me stand also he tugged my hand and took me through one of many doors and it came out as a wardrobe . '' Here left side have your clothe ok ?'' I nodded my head in involuntery because of how warmly he said me .

[I know you have a lot of questions]

He went away giving me a pat on my head I changed my clothes into my kitty night wear as I have only one night suit.What will he think about me? will he think of me as a gold digger or will he divorce me like my step mother told me .A tear slipped out of my eyes when I remember all the word my stepmother told me and about Mr.Pratap's behaviour .By now I crying badly Imagining all the secenarios that my stepmother told me will happen .

''Mannat...Mannat are you done? '' He asked me entering the closet ansas soon as he saw me crying he shook his head lightly and came towards me and involentry I took a step backward and he froze on his spot for a while but nonthless came towards me with a smile.
