Arranged marriages can be as sweet as sugar or it can be as zesty as salt. One is Rom-Com but another is a heartbreaking love story. Both pairs are entangled together in a bond, the bond of a forbidden marriage, you either hate it or love it.
MOHIN...
As we entered his office, I spent my time observing the place, it was grand and beautiful the walls were wooden with yellow tiles and brown leather.
We sat on the couch and he took out the food. He smiled at me awkwardly, and I just stared at him, why is he so nervous?
He pressed a bell and a girl came inside.
"Two plates, two glasses and a bottle of water." He ordered. She nodded and left.
He started unpacking everything,"Dal.." he said as he took out the lentils,"Machh er kalia." As he took out the fish curry, "Mutton kosha," as he took out the mutton. "Panch rokhumer bhaja..." He took out five fries of different veggies. "Chutney... Wow... You cooked everything?" He asked.
"No... I just cooked the mutton and fish." I replied.
"Wow! You are amazing!" He said with a bright smile. The girl came inside and place the plates and bottles on the table and left.
I served the food to both of us and started eating followed by him, I quietly eat the food as he tried his best to start a conversation.
"Am I annoying you?" He asked out of nowhere.
"No." I said without looking at him. "Why don't you-" before he can continue the door opened and Riya his personal assistant walked in,"Sir this is to remind you, your next meeting is starting within five minutes."
He looked alarmed and said," Riya can you come again within 2 minutes"
Riya nodded and left.
He looked at me with seriousness and asked,"Would you like to go out on a date with me?"
"What?" I scowled at him
"Would you like to go out on a date with me?" He said in the same serious tone.
"You are asking your wife for a date?" I scoffed.
He sighed,"I want to fix this. I want a fresh start." He kept the plate on the table and hold my left hand with his,"Please... Please give me a chance, Minakshi." He stared right through my eyes.
"When?" I asked while taking my hand away from him and continuing with my meal.
"Now. After lunch." He said.
"Now? How is that possible? You have a meeting within 5 minutes."
"Don't worry about it, I will cancel it. Just say yes, please." He emphasised on his plead.
"Okay..."
As promised Riya came inside and Trishul dictated her to postpone the meeting.
"But sir... How can I do it? It's very important! The people are funding so much to our Kingdom..." Riya said to a grave tone.
"I know, but it's emergency.'' he said.
"I don't know... They are respected people of the country... I don't know if they are willing to listen." Riya added.
"Well I have the freedom to choose. They can't enslave me, if it's emergency. They have to adjust. It's your job to convince them, Riya. You are an efficient employee, you can fix it" he said and motioned her to leave, she did as she was told, she nodded and left.
"Going on a date is an emergency?" I asked.
He chuckled sweetly, and I once again melted on that most beautiful hearty chuckle, but I swept off that emotion and focused on my food.
He took his plate and started eating,"Going on a date with your wife who you treated horribly and done injustice is indeed an emergency."
I sighed and said nothing.
"No matter how many times I say sorry to you it will not describe how I actually feel towards you. The way guilt is eating me is very strong.... I.... I just try to forget everything by being delusional... I-... I am.." I heard heavy breathing coming from his side, I raised my eyes to look at him and met with a crying mess.
His eyes blurry and red shot, tears rolling down his cheeks as he weep, he fight down his tears but failed miserably.
"I am sorry for everything. You don't deserve any of this." He said and caughed hard, food got stuck probably, he searched for the water bottle. I quickly kept the plate on the table and fed him some water while pressing his back.
"I-I am alright. You don't have to-" I hugged him. I can't stand people crying and moreover when it's from the person who I love so dearly, I just can't.
It's true I couldn't trust him, it's true that I am confused by everything but it's also true that no matter what, my feelings for him haven't changed. My love towards him is immortal, maybe I can forget myself one day but I can never forget the man whom I gave my heart to since my childhood.
"Don't hug me." He said and I broke the hug.
"I don't deserve your embrace. I don't deserve your love and affection but if only if you could start forgiving me then I can atone all my sins."
"Shut up Trishul, I never considered your doings as a sin. Whatever you have done was wrong but you were also not in a good state of mind." I replied.
"You are still taking my side?" He asked in disbelief.
"I am just saying the truth." I stated.
"You are so divine, My maa gauri, pure and full of light." He complimented.
I stared at him suspiciously by narrowing my eyes at him.
"What?" He asked while giving an awkward smile and blushing.
"Don't expect me to say, You are my shiv." I mocked.
"No. Never. I am more like Mahisasur but I can try to be Mahadev for you. I will try my best... If you give me a chance." He whispered by looking down.
"You are not Mahisasur, you are my Trishul. Who is my saviour, who is my everything, who is a gift of Mahadev to me." I replied.
"Me? A gift?" He scoffed. "Let's try to be the gift of Mahadev. Let's prove myself wrong."
"That's the spirit." I added and laughed.
