HIS REGRET

Chapter 6:

"Push the kalash slowly beta" Ahaan's mom Krithika aunty said to me .I gently pushed the kalash and stepped on the plate that contains red water and started walking on the white cloth that was placed .Ahaan followed by my side .

When Zoya was about to enter the house Vishnu dadu said "Bacha ek minute " Zoya starred at me with fear in her eyes .I know where that is coming from and I want kill everyone who is responsible for putting that fear in her, the fear of rejection ,fear of not being accepted. I gave her a reassuring smile. 

I guess dadu saw that fear her eyes, so he clarified "Today not one but we brought two daughter's home right .Bade Lakshmi ka Swagat hogaya abh chote Lakshmi ka bhi acha Swagat karna hena " he said with a soft smile that I have never seen on him before .

Dadi soon came and did arthi like she did for Ahaan and me .She asked her to do the same like I did .Zoya nodded her head and slowly kicked kalash .Ahaan suddenly left my side and went to Zoya side and helped her with her lehenga ,which got him a side eye from my daughter .I haven't spoke to her about this whole marriage thing .I know its useless now to ask her opinion on this but I want to know what she is thinking and from the way she is glaring at Ahaan I don't think its any different from what I think.

Riya took Anvi and Zoya to my room .I went to Vansh's room to change my dress because I know they want some privacy and more than that I'm not ready to face Anvi yet. You can call me coward but only I know about her wrath. Vansh came inside without even knocking. "What are you doing here? " he asked." Two ladies are occupying my room I thought I should give them some privacy You know being gentlemen and all?" I said .To be honest I wouldn't believe the nonsense that I just sprouted, from the look on Vansh's face even he didn't believe that shit.

"Oh my god!! Ahaan Kapoor is scared of his wife " he said dramatically .

"You know you have to go to your room So please leave I'm extremely tired and mom was asking for you, so meet her on your way to your room and please close the door on your way out Mr.Kapoor" saying that he went inside the bathroom. I guess I have no other option.

I made my way to my parents room. I knocked on the door ,when I heard my dad's come in I opened the door and found both my parents who had a worried expression on their face ."Mom you asked for me?" I asked her .

"Yeah Ahaan, actually I wanted to speak to you about Anvi " mom said "and Zoya " dad completed. I just nodded and sat on the chair that is facing the bed .I gave a look to mom that said she can tell me anything .

"You..you know Ahaan...today.." my mom was stuttering looking at my dad probably for some help who got up from bet like it was on fire " Actually I have a very important call to make " saying that he went away leaving the said phone on the bed side. I sighed. I don't really know what they now want from me.

Mom smiled sympathetically "Ahaan,I don't really know how to tell you this ,I know the situation you got married is unusual but I want you to treat Anvi with the respect she deserves not only as your wife or the elder daughter in law of Kapoor but as human being. I wouldn't tolerate any non-respectful words towards my daughter. I promised her parents that I would keep her happy and you know I won't break my promises" my mom took a deep breath and continued "Anvi wasn't prepared for any of it ,so I hope you give her some time to get used to it, I hope you behave like the gentleman that I know I brought you up .Anvi is not responsible any of Prerana's fault. I really don't want you to regret something you do out of anger. You are understanding what I'm saying right?" my mom asked me.

She is basically telling me to not force myself on my wife. I know I have anger issues and all but I would never do that to any girl let alone the love of my life, my Anvi. I just nodded ,honestly I don't know what to say to that .Should I appreciate her that she is looking out for Anvi or should I get angry that she thinks so low of her own son. Have I really let down everyone around me? "And Zoya " mom continued but I cut her. I can't take this anymore "Mom I know my responsibilities when I said I would get married to Anvi. I don't know I can be a good father but I will definitely try to be one for my daughter. And as for Anvi I don't know how but trust me I would bring the moon down to earth even if its just to see a small smile on her face " mom nodded as if she is satisfied with my answer ."Can I ask you something?" my mom asked .I nodded positively." What did you do to Zoya? I mean she hates you, literally" now I'm totally embarrassed. Oh god what was I thinking when I did that."I stole her Gummy bears" I replies with my head down with shame. My mom looked at me like she couldn't believe what she heard when she realised that she heard it right ,she started laughing maniacally ."Why would you do that?" she asked me her voice lased with terror. "I wanted Druv's attention and to my defence I didn't know she was Anvi's daughter" I just shrugged what more can I do .I regret many things when it comes to the Kashaps.

"I'm going to sleep Mom, and mom can you empty the guest room next to room for Zoya and I'm going to ask our interior designer to design that room for Zoya until then she is going to sleep in our room. Most importantly I don't want anyone to say something that would make Zoya or Anvi uncomfortable mom. Can you do that mom? I want them to feel that they are in their home and not feel like a guest" mom nodded "I'm proud of you" she said like she meant it.

Till date I have done many things but my mom never said me that ,I know she was proud of me but she never vocalised it. Hearing it, made me feel like I can actually make some changes. I nodded and left to my room. On my way ,I called my PA without noticing that it was already past midnight. "Hello " a sleepy voice spoke. "I'm sorry Aditya I didn't realise it was late" I said "Its ok sir " he said ,his voice now had less sleep. "I want our interior designer to come home tomorrow " I said "Ok sir,anything else?" he asked now fully awake."Nothing ,Good night " I ended the call.

I knocked on my -our -room's door and entered when a small come in was heard. Zoya was already sleeping and she was so damn cute. I wish I could squeeze those chubby cheeks. I can one day, I just need to give her some time. Anvi entered from the closet , as soon as she saw me she glared ." Zoya can't sleep alone in new places, so she is going to sleep with me until she gets comfortable "she said 

"Of course" I nodded ,I knew that much. 

"Until then you have you sleep on the couch later we can switch" she said ,without waiting for a reply she slid under the comforter .I guess that's it. I took extra pair of pillow and comforter from the closet and placed them on the sofa.I switched on the night lamps and switched off the lights and slept on the sofa. 

I muttered a "Good night wifey" and didn't get a response and I know I wouldn't get one. I let the sleep take me for a while tomorrow I can try again. right?
