Adrika

"Let me sleep!" I snapped at the person who was disturbing me for so long.

"OK,"  I heard. 

My mom would never give up when it comes to waking me up. But why is she saying an OK now? 

I quickly removed the quilt from my face and saw the ceiling, which is totally different than mine. I froze. Please god! I said and looked to my right I saw Arjun standing very near, looking angrily at me. I relaxed after seeing him. 

"What time is it now?" I asked him, still lying flat on the bed.

"7 AM," He snapped.

"It's just 7! Why are you waking me up this early? I slept at 1 AM at night! And I didn't even sleep for the past few days, because of the ridiculous rituals, and the day I get to sleep you woke me up at 7." I snapped at him this time.

"Don't you know that you have to wake up early here?" Arjun asked calmly controlling his anger.

"NO! None informed about this rule." I said rolling to the other side of the bed. I don't think Arjun can control his anger if I am near him.

"No one will say these things. Don't act like a brat. GO and get ready we have breakfast in twenty minutes." He said clenching his. The angry look suits him. He is looking more manly in this look.

Snap out of it, Adrika!

"Fucking rules!" I said looking at him. 

In the next two seconds, he was by my side and pulled me out of the bed by holding my left elbow, and backed me up to the nearest wall. The hold is so strong and painful I know it will definitely leave the mark. 

"Listen to me and listen good. This will be the first and last time I'm going to tolerate your behavior. DO whatever I say and I'll say not anything unreasonable. Don't behave like a petulant child in front of my family." He said with so much hatred.

I felt my heart sink when he said, My family. 

"Who do you think you are to order me? Huh? Do think you are my husband because you tied this thread around my neck? Do you think a husband will behave like you? Have you seen your parents? How will you feel if your sister's husband behaved like you as you are with me?" I asked, trying not to sound weak and trying to push him with my right hand as he didn't leave my left hand.

"Don't compare my sister with you!" He shouted loudly.

"Yeah, how can I compare myself with a thing like that." I snapped. I saw him closing his eyes, when he opened his eyes, they are red. And look he had, I'm really terrified right now.

His hold on my elbow tightened.

Parameshwara! Please save me!

I know I shouldn't have said anything about his sister. 

"If you want to survive here, don't ever talk or don't do bad to my sister. Do you understand?" He said. 

I can't focus on anything except the pain of my hand.

"DO YOU UNDERSTAND?" His boomed in my ears.

I nodded meekly.

"IN WORDS!" he said

"Yes!" 

"Good! Now go and get ready in 15 minutes." He said and jerked my hand from his hold.

Stand on your ground!

Look around! This is Arjun's room!

"Didn't you hear me?" Someone shouted.

My hands and legs started shaking.
