"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...
"Arjun?" Adrika called me, leaning on my shoulder and clutching my bicep.
I looked at her and said, "Yes".
"Did you miss me?" She asked.
Did I?
No.
"Did you?" I asked her instead of answering.
Suddenly, I wanted to know if she missed me or not. I don't know why but I want her to miss me. Even though I did not.
"Yeah!" She said, while tightening her hold on my bicep and slipping into sleep.
Her answer made my male ego satisfied.
Soon we reached our estate premises and to my cabin, our cabin. I carried her to our bedroom and made her sleep on the bed. I looked at her once more. I know the clothes she is on are not comfortable. But I can't do anything about it now, can I? Though she loves me, I don't think she will be fine with me changing her clothes. So I went to take a shower.
After coming from shower, I directly went to my home office, as I left my work in the middle for Adrika.

Adrika
I tried opening my eyes, but I feel their is huge weight on my head and the pain is really unberable. I moved my hands to my face, rubbing my eyes and pressing my temples, trying to reduce the pain, simultaneously sitting on the bed.
After sometime I opened my eyes and voila, I'm in Arjun's room. I instantly got down from the bed and looked around for Arjun, not finding him in the room, I relaxed a bit. But then I remembered last night events, I relaxed completely. I don't feel any shame as he is my husband and I love him. In future he may see the worst.
So I'm not at all worried that he saw me drunk. But I'm worried about being here, in Rudramaneni's estate, where there are three mothers-in-law waiting for me tot each all about their family rules and all. Come on guys, do you think a 20 year old girl who did not even graduated has the maturity to understand all their rules. At present, I don't want to follow any rules. I want to experience love and focus on my relationship not to cook food and look after the household.
Shrugging my thoughts, I looked for my clutch, which I remember I gave it to Ishika.
Fuck!
I don't even have my phone on me.
And then I remember, I have to go to college, and I will be late, if I don't shower like right now.
I quickly had my shower and wore a lavender coloured cotton salwar suit with mandarin neck, which hides my mangalsutra. With my hair in a bun as I don't have time to make braid of my waist long hair and no makeup.

I hurriedly took my bag and sprinted out of closet and out of the room and the steps and stopped when I saw Arjun sitting on the single sofa while looking at me from top to bottom.
"Ready?" He asked.
I nodded.
"Ok. Come on. We are already late." He said, standing up and adjusting his suit.
I looked at him confused. Is he going to drop me? The thought itself made my heart do somersault.
"Come. We are late for breakfast." He said. My mood instantly dropped.
I shook my head and said, "I'll be late for college." and started walking past him.
But he stopped me by holding my elbow.
I looked at him, pouting internally, "Please, I'll be late for my class." I said, but like always he did not listen and started moving towards the door.
"Jerk!" I muttered and instantly regretted as I saw his face, means he heard.
"What?" He asked.
Like he don't know.
Time to act dumb!
"Nothing!" I said, shrugging my shoulders.
"Don't say something which you can't repeat!" He said.
Ok Ads! He is provoking you. Be quiet.
I followed my mind and stayed quiet. After looking at me for a few seconds, he turned away and started walking dragging me along with him.
Does he think I'm a child. Always dragging me here n there.
"Arjun, please stop dragging me, I can walk." I said, trying to get out of his hold.
But he did not listen.
From the corner of my eyes I saw Aishwarya coming out of her cabin.
"Arjun, stop!" I yelled. With a frown on his face, he turned towards me and saw his sister. And frown turned into a beautiful smile.
He left me instantly, escaping them, I moved towards a bench situated near the starting of the cabins and sat down waiting for him. Even If I want to keep my distance from him, but I don't want to face his family alone.
After few minutes, I saw Aishwarya going towards Gym and Arjun coming in my direction. I waited till he reached near me, and started walking parallelly.
When we were few meters away from the main house, I stopped. I'm regretting my decision. If I did not get drunk yesterday, maybe the chances of me being here would've been less. I feel like crying.
Arjun stopped walking, when he realized I'm not walking.
Bloody hell!
"What?" He asked.
I shook my head and walked towards him as I have to face them evening. Why delay?
Why god!? Why?

Sorry guys! Yesterday while writing this chapter I had few network issues which I don't and continued writing without saving. What I published yesterday was half chapter, which I thought was full when I published yesterday. But when I opened today I was disappointed as I did not save more than 500 words. So here I am, publishing agai, though this was not as authentic as I missed the flow, but I tried to maintain the continuity.
