Together For-Ever

Chapter Thirteen

Adrika

Every life is dramatic in its own way. There is no life as simple, I believe. And my life to is dramatic in its own way.

It's been two weeks since we got married. I never saw Arjun at night when I fall asleep, but he used to be up and ready by the time I wake up. Neither he nor I had talked since that day privately. Arjun starts acting in front of his family members like a husband should be with his new bride, all touchy and sweet talks. But I never reciprocated them. I just smile.

Aishwarya never let go of a chance to torment me and Anand never stopped poking in my business.

And the relationship with my in-laws is non-existent. My three MIL visit me daily and I go to the main house for the meals. My MIL's always talk about how I should behave and all. They never asked how I was feeling here and how is Arjun treating me. Arjun's mother kept on suggesting to me that I should help them in cooking. But I never went to the main house before lunch hours. It's like I'm living in a hostel.

How can I have a relationship with Arjun's family when I and Arjun never talked properly with each other? How can I be comfortable with his family when I'm not comfortable with him? A man should know that his wife's only family after marriage is him, not her parents or his parents only him. 

I just want to leave this place for a few hours, if not for days. Thank God from tomorrow onwards I can escape this hell for at least a few hours. Because from tomorrow my college reopens.

This is the first time I am feeling happy about going to college. And I'm happy for one more reason. That is, finally ill be able to visit the NGO. It's been too long since I visited that place. And I plan on visiting it tomorrow. 

"ADRIKA!" I was startled by the sudden voice.

I turned around to look at my dear husband, raising my brow. This is how I communicated mostly. 

"I'm leaving for Delhi. It will take a few days for me to return. So you can go to your home." He said sitting on the bed while I was on the love seat.

My face in light-up hearing this. 

One more reason to be happy!

"Oh! When can I leave?" I asked looking at him. His brows furrowed. I don't think he liked my question.

Did I offend him?

"You have to ask my mother that question. Not me." He said.

What the fuck, dude?

Did I hear that right?

"You are my husband. Not your mother. If I have to ask anyone about anything in this family it would be you. It should be you. Not your mother. If you want you can ask her for me. But I'm not going to ask the person who hasn't even asked me how I am settling here." I said looking at him.

"Then you can stay here happily." He said smirking. My heart dropped hearing him say that.

"Do you think Ill be happy if you were not under my roof even when I'm not in the country. If I have chance I would chain you to my bed and never let you out. That's how strong my trust for you is. So better not test me. And try earn the respect first. You can earn the title of my wife later. I just gave you a choice. But you are not willing to choose. So I'll choose for you." He said.

"Why everyone in this family are behaving like psychos? If your mother didn't like me that much, she shouldn't have rushed the wedding by saying silly reasons. We all know that this wedding could be delayed if you behaved correctly. Instead you are using me. And I'll never ask your mother anything." I said.

He laughed out loud. But it's not out of humor but anger.

"How can she ask the well-being of you when you are not behaving like the daughter in law. Do you think sitting here all day and going there for eating will make them like you? In the last two weeks did you ever go to the main house and talk to my family. At least my mothers are coming here daily and you are behaving like a guest in this house, not like a daughter-in-law." He said, I can practically imagine steam coming out of his ears by how he clenching his fists.

I couldn't control it anymore.

"Yes, I am behaving like a guest because I don't feel like I am welcomed here by anybody. Let's not talk about you. You should've been the one to come and talk to me not your mother." I said raising my voice.

"So you want me to come and talk to you? To talk to you, first I have to trust you. To trust you, it will take a lot of effort. The effort which I am not looking forward to wasting on you." He said, leaving the bedroom without giving me another glance.

Wow! 

What am I? 

I am his wife. He is speaking like I am his girlfriend. How can spending some time with me will be an effort. It's his responsibility to take care. And he is not even willing to do that.

I don't blame him for not giving me time because I am ignoring him as much as I can. I am not ready to talk to him. It might take sometime for me to start talking to him and his family. But I can never be my old self with anybody. Not even with Arjun. That part of me died that day four years ago. And I never intend to be like that anymore.

I don't want to fight with him. But every time we talked we had a fight.

I really want to go to my home now. But I will not take anyone's permission.

Tomorrow, after the college I will directly go to my home.
