Marriage

Chapter 9

Riya

I LOVE KHUSH. Yes. I still love him but I have to stay away from him..... but  Still he married me. I can't leave Rehan and Rohan alone in that mess.

Sharma family helped me when I was out there lonely. I was happy when I got to know that khush is going to guide them. They need it.

I don't doubt Rehan's abilities but he was away for many years. He has degree in business but still he is quite inexperienced. Also little part of me want to marry Khush. May be not little....

I didn't spoke much after coming home. I can say that mumma papa are disappointed in me. I feel sad. Very sad. I want to be in arm of mumma papa but I can't. In haste I made many mistakes.

I am happy for two things as I am staring outside right now. I am in Khush's room mean our room staring at pool outside after dinner. Two things. All the youngsters accepted me and Siya ma as well.

I should talk to mumma papa. Abhay is right. I was just scared and coward back than. Also khush.

I don't know what I should think of this marriage? I was in my thoughts when khush entered room.

Suit jacket in hand, loosened tie and rolled up sleeves. He looks tired. He looked at me and spoke ''Why haven't you changed Riya? Go and get changed. There must be your old night dress in closet because I asked someone to shift your clothes.''

I nodded and left. I smiled looking at all of my old clothes. Yah I have grown up but not that much. I can wear all of them. I took my my night suit. It is my old Micky mouse night suit. I smiled and changed into that.

I washed my face and came out to see khush half naked. I quickly turned away and he wore his tshirt fast.

He spoke '' sorry I didn't know that you will come out this fast.'' I nodded and he went and set on couch.

I don't know what I should do but he started to speak ''I know it is difficult. I am hell angry on you and much more but now I am also satisfied that you are at home. Do whatever you want being upset or talking or anything but just don't run away. Mumma papa are upset with you but please try to talk with them and try to mend your ways. I.... I don't know what to say but I was your friend first much before I was your fiance but you just left and didn't spoke anything with anyone not even me... I was..... Sorry it is already so much for you. You should sleep. Good night.''

Cat caught my tongue. Just that happened. He was sleeping on sofa? Really? Like he is gonna fit there.

I can clearly see how uncomfortable is he. I said hesitantly ''You should sleep on bed.'' He got up and chuckled ''Riya. You will be uncomfortable. Go and sleep and let me sleep. I am tired. Too much''

God. This boy. No now he is fine man. Handsome one. Stop Riya. I scolded him ''I am fine. Come sleep on bed. I may be uncomfortable talking about what happened back than or what happened today but I am comfortable around you and you know that.''

He just shook his head and sleep on right side of bed. I also went and slept on left side. Finally I am home. Not as Riya Khurana but as Riya Kapoor. I don't have courage to face my parents. I know everyone will behave normally or atleast they will try except my parents.

Many things are there. I should trust my family. No I have never lost my trust in them. I have just lost it in my self. It will take time for me to open up. With that thought I slept.

I woke up with hand circling around my waist. I am caged in my husband's arms. Husband. From childhood sweethearts to husband. I have never imagined my marriage like this but it happened.

Back than we were kids and we have known our limits. Now. This damm hormones. I am feeling so many emotions also tangling feeling in my stomach.

I removed myself with difficulty and left the bed. It is already 8 in morning. I am hour late than my usual wake up time.

I am late. I quickly took shower and went to closet. I quickly wore simple blue dress with my old watch with sindur. I have never removed my engagement ring or manglsutra so they were as it is.

I checked on khush and he was still sleeping. Now I am not sure what should I do? Husband or not he is source of my strength. I still don't know how to face everyone alone still I left room and went towards living room.

Everyone were present there. Siya ma smiled and said ''Good Morning.'' I wished her back. God. Now what should I do?

Ruhi understood my thoughts. She got up and drag me to made me sit with her and Nisha. Than dad asked me ''Where is khush?''

''He.. ummm. He is sleeping.'' I replied and heard siya ma's loud voice ''That's magical. The person who wakes up at 5 is still sleeping.'' What? He wakes up at five. Is that kind of joke? He... he loves to sleep. I didn't understand siya ma's remark but I kept quiet.

Suddenly intercom phone rang and dad picked up. He just granted permission to let someone inside. Who is coming this early? Must be wedding planner for Kave di and Abhay's wedding but they aren't here so who is coming?

Than I heard a scream. ''RIYAAAAAAA.''
