King's Queen

14.

He looked at me through the mirror and raised his eyebrow.

"I told them we got married and invited them to our house ,tomorrow . "

"W-what did they say.. what did you tell them the reason for the marriage, " I said. Tears filled my eyes. They must hate me now.

But you didn't do anything Avanti.

Yeah they'll not say anything to me.

Maybe they'll ask  me to  divorce him.

" Hey " he rushed towards me when he saw me crying.

"Why are you crying butterfly ? " he asked and pulled my hands away from my face as I tried to hide it.

" How will I face them now," I said and sobbed,

" Look Avantika, all this was not your fault. You have nothing to be afraid of. I'll take care of all the things. Please give me a chance. I'll never let you down." He said sincerely.

Give him a chance? Is he for real?

" Give you a chance?" I asked almost confused? Is he joking?

" Please Avantika. I know, I know you were a victim in all this but I want you to try for once. " He said.

The look he gave me. I wanted to stay with him. I hate him. I hate his family for doing this. But I liked to look at him right now. At this moment.

No!

I pushed him away and sadness flicked in his eyes. " I.. need some time..." I said not to break his heart and his eyes twinkle.

He moved towards me and and hugged me. I was shocked at his sudden action. What happened to him all of a sudden.

After a few minutes I cleared my throat and he pulled back.

" Sorry I was just-" we heard a knock cutting him off.

"BHAI-SA, BHABHI-SA  , MA SA IS CALLING YOU GUYS FOR DINNER!" We heard Pritee shout.

"OK" he said looking into my eyes.

"Shall we" he said gesturing towards the door.

I just nodded.

After dinner.

He went inside the room and after a small talk with the ladies I also went upstairs.

The girls are not bad and I like Ma sa. I never didn't see Dada and dadi at the table.

Aadarsh said that they went back to their village.

I entered the room and took a pillow and was about to walk to the couch when I heard him say" You don't have to sleep there"

I turned around , looked at him and frowned.

"You can trust me" he said looking awkward and I controlled my laughter.

I just silent went towards the bed and laid down.

What will happen tomorrow?

He was working on his laptop. Soon sleep engulfed me.

At morning.

I woke up at 7 when I heard some sound.
"Sorry" Aadarsh said. He picked the comb.

I just nodded and laid down after a few min I got up and asked him" when will they come"

He looked up and said " Around 10am"

I just nodded and went to fresh up.

After having a bath, I was confused what to wear.
