An Inconvenient Flame

Chapter 12

Maybe he left or maybe not.

I don't know where he is, after getting ready he went out, without a word.

Arrogant much to reply.

"Okay," I take a deep breath, detangling myself from all the messed up thoughts clutching me.

I don't know what to do, as I am on leave for a few days, like it should be. It takes time to get adjusted to your new life, your in-laws.

However it seems like, I'll have to learn to live with my own company from now on.

Mr. Husband seems to be a loner. Otherwise, how can someone be not fine with their parents staying over with them for a few days?

Instead of spending time with new people, I'll have to kill my precious seconds in this empty mansion.

Not that I hate it.

I was getting cold feet because of all the overthinking I did about the new people I'll have to live with.

I like my space. No interactions. Just me and my books.

And that's what I got.

Guess what Manifestations work, atleast in this area of interest.

Apart from that the owner of this house is going to give me a tough time. I guess it's pretty clear from his not-so-important ego or whatever you call it.

His attitude is going to make it much more difficult for me to get on any kind of terms with him.

You know, a loner is hard to please.

Anyways, I think it time to kick start the very first day of my married life.

Married life.

I take a deep breath, shutting my eyes in realisation. I am married. A wonderful first of my 20s.

Keeping my hand on my chest I realise how fast my heart is beating. Happy or not, marriage feels unknowingly good.

I SMILE. I feel positive. A good bath cleared my mind. Water is my thing. Whenever sad, a good bath or a glass of water. Works like magic.

Things will take a good turn, I know that in my heart, my brain tends to ignore it sometimes, but that's fine.

With the same thoughts, I fill my
hair partition with sindoor. My eyes take in my appearance, I look beautiful.

A pista green organza saree with a white elbow-length sleeved v-cut neck blouse adorning my frame.

My open hair, mangalsutra, and pearl earrings looking gracious.

Is it marriage glow or is it because I am wearing a saree for the first time?

Definitely both. I smile with my teeth. Who cares about a husband when you are sufficient for yourself?

I furrow my brows, I'll have to wear heels with the saree. The way it looks right now makes me feel like I'm drowning.

My face scrunch in horror imagining me looking like a kid in front of him. Immediately shaking away the thoughts I search for my heels.

I can't stand him calling me a kid again.

Magnificent. His villa.

I have seen such places only on Pinterest, never knew I'll see one with my own eyes.

It's much more captivating.

This place looks endless. Covered by the forest. In the middle of nowhere.

Illustrious glass walls surrounding the living area. Giving an eye-catching view of the impressively tall wild trees.
