Second wife -2 ( standalone)

chapter 3

Pakhi was crying while sitting on the bed, it’s her marriage day. She tried to stop the marriage, but her father was not ready to listen to anything.

Her mother entered the room, she cried seeing her daughter's condition, Pakhi said looking at her,”Maa, mujhe bahut darr lag raha hai. Mujhe ye shadi nahi karni. Aap pitaji se baat kijiye.” 

“Mujhe maaf kar de meri bachi. Mere haath mein kuch nahi hai, lekin mujhe pura yakeen hai tu apne bholepaan se apne pati ka dil jeet legi. Mujhe vishwas hai ek din wo tujhe pyaar karega bas tu uski har baat manana hai aur usse hamesha khush rakhna.” Pakhi turned her face, there was no  use to beg in front of her. Her mother has no power in the house, it was only her father and brother. 

Her mother informed her, it’s time for her marriage. Groom is waiting for her in the temple, giving up, she stood up from the bed and walked with her mother. She sat in the car, and it drove toward the temple. 

In the temple,

Abhinav was sitting on the mandap, waiting for his second wife. He said with irritation.” Kaha hai tumhari beti, Rao Sahab.”

“Bas … ye dekhiye aa gyi.” Abhinav saw, his bride was coming whose face is covered with the dupatta. Her mother helped her sit beside him, and the priest started the ritual. He tied the nuptial chain and filled her vermillion, and finally the priest declared them as husband and wife. 

Abhinav looked at the watch, he saw her crying ,hugging her mother. He got irritated, he angrily held her hand and said,”Itna time nahi hai mere pass. Ab chal jaldi.” He dragged her toward the car and asked her to sit in the car.

She was crying in the car, he said angrily,”Muh band kar apna.” Pakhi shivered in fear hearing his dangerous and angry voice. 

The car stopped in front of the haveli, she stepped out of the car and followed him slowly, as it’s difficult for her to walk because of  her covered face. She saw him standing at the entrance, and calling his mother. She stood beside him , she was continuously murmuring prayer.

“Maa, aap ki bahu aa gayi hai. Aarti ki thali laiye.” She heard him

“Humein iss ladki se koi lena dena nahi hai. Tujhe iske saath jo karna hai kar lekin humse koi umeed nahi rakhna.” His mother said angrily.

“Hum iss ladki ko apne ghar ki bahu manane se mana karte hai.” His father announced angrily

Tears were continuously flowing through Pakhi’s eyes. She heard her husband’s voice,”Humein iss baat se fark nahi parta ki aap kya sochte hai. Mitali, pooja ki thali lekar aa aur hamari biwi ki aarti uttar.”

Mitali was standing there like a statue, he shouted at her,”Suna nahi tune.” She hurriedly brought thali and did as Abhinav instructed. 

Tears were continuously flowing through Mitali's eyes, it was painful for her to do all this. She hates this girl, her brother is responsible for all her miseries. If her brother didn’t enter her life, she would be happy with Abhinav, but he spoiled her life for revenge. 

After performing all the rituals, Abhinav smirked, and asked holding Pakhi’s hand,”Have you decorated my room for the first night and shifted your things?”

Mitali nodded, she cried remembering the moment she decorated his room for wedding night. She knows Abhinav was doing this to take revenge from her. 

“Tu Mitali ko uske khud ke room se kaise nikal sakta hai. Pagal ho gaya hai?” His mother said angrily

Abhinav ignored her and said looking at Mitali,”Isse mere kamre mein le jaa.” Mitali didn’t argue and walked toward his room followed by Pakhi. 

When they entered the room, Mitali said angrily,” Wo mera pati hai. Usne tujse shadi sirf badla lene ke liye ki hai, aur thode samay ke baad wo tujhe dhake maar ke iss ghar se aur apni zindagi se nikal dega. Isliye uspe jyada haq jatane ki jarurat nahi hai.”

Saying this, she angrily walked out of the room. Pakhi started crying, sat on the bed. She was shivering due to fear, everyone hated her. What will they do to torture her? She didn’t do anything wrong, it’s her brother and husband. Why was she bearing everything?”

Abhinav was walking toward his room, when Mitali stopped him and said joining her hand,”Aap mere saath aisa mat kariye. Main janti hu, maine galat kiya hai. Main apki gunehgar hu, aap koi bhi saza dijiye lekin ye nahi. Main aapko kisi aur ke saath nahi dekh sakhti.”

Abhinav smirked and said,” Yahi teri saza. Jaise tune mera haq kissi aur ko de diya tha, ab main bhi tera haq kisi aur duga tab tujhe pata chalega. Chal ab hatt, meri dulhan mera intezaar kar rahi hogi.” Saying this, he walked to his room while Mitali ran to her new room.
