"I don't want you to marry Arjun!" he exclaimed.
"But--" I was interrupted by him.
"No! You are just 20 years old. You don't even know the first thing about marriage. And I would appreciate if you reject this marriage. For now!" He shouted.
How can...
His friends and cousins joined us. Thank god Anand was not in them.
Everyone is literally glaring at me. I don't know what I ever did to them to deserve their glares. I just smiled at them. They didn't speak to me at all. And am grateful for that. If they said anything harsh to me at that I don't know what I would've done. I was stuck standing with them because Arjun is not leaving me!
I was desperately searching for Aadhira because he can only save me from these glares. They are all kinda scared of my brother as he is elder than everyone even Arjun. He is twenty-eight, they were all like twenty-five and twenty-six. They were all friends even now. I finally found him, he is speaking to someone and looking at me.
My brother always looking out for me.
I signaled him to come with my eyes.
Within a minute he came towards us. That's why I love my brother so much. He was never lazy when it comes to me. He would be leaving everything behind. In the same way that he wants to make sure I'm happy, I want him to be happy in his life, and I'm willing to go to any length to make it happen.
Only a few can have a brother like me. And I'm lucky!
After he joined us I moved towards him leaving Arjun. I side hugged my brother as he was talking with his friends after a long time. As he was talking and talking I pinched his arm a little so that he can stop.
Somehow Aadhira pulled me out of the group-glaring contest.
We both went to where our friends were sitting.
"C'mon we have pictures to take!" I said pulling them with me outside of the ballroom after calling the photographer.
"First I want Nishi and Aadhira to take a picture!" I said.
They both looked gorgeous together! We took lots of pictures. After that, the three left saying they will meet me later.
It's 10 PM when all the guests left. I know it's early for a party to end but we made sure not to prolong it any further, and the guests are not someone with lots of time. Most of them left after greeting us.
When I was following my parents out, I felt someone holding my hand and dragging me the other way. I looked up to find my idiot husband.
I looked at my parents whose back was to me. Aadhira stopped walking and looked at me, he smiled telling me everything will be okay!
He didn't lead us towards the main house, but he started moving towards the other side of the main house.
I didn't protest him, I just let him drag me along with him. I don't have the energy to talk to him. The path which he is leading is a bit muddy, we left the grassy path a couple of minutes ago.
Soon, I saw cabins lined up with some distance to each one. Their size is decent enough for a Rudramaneni to live in. They were all different.
Arjun passed the first two cabins. I know the third one is his because of the exteriors. The modern look it has. It is a very small bungalow. And my guess is correct as he walks towards the steps of the third one. He unlocks the door with a passcode which I couldn't see.
Only after we walk inside he leaves my hand. I look around the place and I'm quite impressed. Even though the interiors have ornate decorations, but it has a modern touch to them. The living room has two small couches, a 75' inch TV, coffee table and that's it. And there is nothing. There is one room on this floor, maybe it is a study. There are steps at the center.
I looked at Arjun, he is smiling at me. I don't what happened to him now and why he is smiling.
"Why are you smiling?" I asked with a frown on my face.
"Nothing." He said as expected. I nodded.
"C'mon," He said already walking towards the steps.
"There is no kitchen here if you want anything either you call the staff or you can go to the Main house. And the room downstairs is my home office. At this level there are two rooms, one is our bedroom and the other one is for you. You can do whatever you want with it." He said opening the doors of the bedroom.
The bedroom is amazing.

The bedroom doesn't have any gothic design in it, it's completely modern. The wave artwork across the bed, which looks fairly stunning against the dark gold bedding. There is an amazing balcony off the bedroom with a relaxing chair. There are floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides, I think they will give an amazing view of greens in the morning.
"You can change," He said, with the same smile.
I don't know what is cooking in his mind.
"Okay," I said and opened the door which I saw when I first came in. I saw a walk-in wardrobe which is bigger than mine as it should be because now we two have to use this. The room is L-shaped so our closets are separated. I opened the first cupboard and saw Arjun's clothes, I closed it immediately. Then I went to the other side and the cupboards, I saw my clothes. Everything was arranged according to the color palette and the type of clothes. I didn't see my pajamas suits in the cupboard, it only had palazzos and tank tops. So I took the softest palazzo and tank top and had a nice hot shower in his ultra-luxurious ensuite.
After the shower, I lay on the bed waiting for my husband as he is showering now.
I know today is our supposed "first night". In the past week, I had thought about this day, and all those things vanished the second I entered his home. If he had not ignored me, I would've given myself to him. But now I don't think I can handle his bipolar behavior.
He came after a few minutes, switched off the lights, and left the bedroom without saying anything.
I slept without much of a thought, as I don't have the energy to do deal theories that my mind will suggest and I'm sleep deprived.
