The Repulsive Bride

Chapter 1

Mahima's POV

Oh god!! I was already very late. He was coming today and I was very excited. I brought his favourite cake from his favourite bakery, hoping he still liked it.

I wanted to reach home before time as he was coming after a long time. He had gone to do his MBA after completing his Engineering.

My heart was pounding, when I entered the home.

Home??

Yes, it has been my home since my parents died and since then, I have been living in this huge Mansion with his family. I didn't even realise when this house became my home.

I went in and saw the man I have been dying to see. He looked even more handsome now. His features were sharp enough to cut any fruit in half. His eyes were very dark brown just like molten chocolate.

I had developed some feelings for him since I heard uncle mentioning to aunty that he intended to get their elder son married to me.  Even aunty liked me, so she nodded.

" Dad, my decision is final... I am in love with her and have already committed that I would marry her." He was saying. I heard him say that and my whole world crashed.

" But I want you to get married to..." Uncle was saying.

" I know what you want, but it's my life, I want to get married to Maysha. She is smart, sexy, elegant, stylish, modern and much more. I can't live my whole life with someone whom I don't even like. " He said. Tears were flowing from my eyes, I didn't want to hear all this but my feet were rooted to the floor.

" All that will not be enough to be a good life partner, son. "  Uncle tried to make him understand.

" I know, what I want in my life partner. I want her to be compatible with me. Maysha has everything, I want in my would-be wife. We know each other for the last six months and I will not marry anyone else. "

" But what about my promise? "  Uncle asked.

" Sorry dad, I can't sacrifice my life for your promise, you didn't ask me before giving that promise. So don't expect anything from me. I can't even tolerate her for more than five minutes. "

" What is wrong with her?? " Uncle asked him. I wanted to know that too.

" Wrong question, dad!! Everything is wrong with her. I can make a long list of the things which are wrong with her. You tell me five good qualities in her. "

" She is a sweet-natured girl. Everyone loves her. "  Uncle said.

" Tell one of those everyone to even date her for a month, I am sure every one of them will refuse. Have you ever seen her?? Do you think, she is good enough for me?  "

" Yes! I think she is best for you. "

" Sorry, dad!! I don't share the same views. I would not even go on a single date with her. "

" Tell me what is wrong with her. "

" Ok... I want to get married to Maysha, she is such a beautiful girl... While the girl of your choice doesn't even look like a girl. She is not even presentable. "

" Dhruv !! Enough! That was rude. "

" What happened, dad? You wanted to know, what is wrong with her... I have barely started and you have had enough? She would be the last girl in this universe, whom I can ever think of even dating. " He said.

" Outer beauty is not everything, it will fade one day and only the beauty of the soul matters the most. "

" Dad, I don't believe in all this... I want my partner to be very beautiful.  Someone I look forward to meet after a day's work... Someone I desire and who would be able to take care of my every need. " He said.
