Rahul's parents came back two days later and were shocked when they saw Maya in their house.
They were even more shocked when Rahul told them about their marriage.
"Lekin aise achanak kyu? Maya abhi kitni chhoti hai. Uski padhai bhi complete nhi hui."
(But why suddenly? Maya is young right now. Herr studies are also not complete.)
"I know mumma. Reason mat puchho. I know its sudden but it is what it is."
(Don't ask the reason.)
Rahul said not knowing what to tell them.
"Beta kuch baat hai kya?"
(Has something happened?)
His mother asked indicating if something happened.
"Nhi mumma aisa kuch nhi hai. Please forget this and just agree to what is happening."
(No it is not like that.)
Rahul said understanding what his mother meant.
His parents agreed knowing that they actually have no option and in fact they liked Maya since always. The little girl was like their own daughter to them.
Seeing them all loving with Maya increased Rahul's anger.
Varun was still not talking to him. He had tried apologizing but he seemed too hurt.
Rahul sighed. He couldn't even tell him the truth. That would break his heart.
Since two days Maya was not going to college but today she can't miss because she had an important assignment to submit.
Rahul was getting ready to go to his office when she entered their room.
She was fidgeting with her fingers nervously.
"Kya kaam hai?"
(What is it?)
He asked in a cold tone.
"Umm-mujhe college jaana tha. Aap chhod denge?"
(I have to go to college. Will you drop me?)
She asked nervously fearing that he would shout at her again.
"Chalo."
(Come.)
She heard his cold voice again. She looked up at him to see him taking his car keys.
He went out and she followed behind with her bag.
They settled in the car and he drove towards her college. They sat in silence with Maya fidgeting her fingers.
She was not wearing sindur and had hidden her mangalsutra inside her high neck top. He particularly denied to let anyone else know about this right now.
They reached her college and she quickly went out mumbling a small thank you.
Coming back from college Maya had no other work to do so she sat down sketching.
Almost a month passed by since Rahul and Maya's forced marriage.
Rahul has been ignoring her. Never once did he sleep in their room. He used to sleep in his study in the pretext of his work.
Every night after he slept Maya crept into his study and sat beside him admiring him. Her guilt was eating her from inside but she could not talk to anyone about this.
Every night she used to just admire him for hours and then leave after kissing his head and mumbling a small 'I love you'.
Rahul had heard her once or twice and truth be told he felt his heart flutter every time she kissed him and said this.
