|| I HATE YOU || Armaan × Riva

chapter-12(juhi Singhania)

Riva was confused and shocked , how can Armaan know about her preferences and why did he bought her a gift? She was staring at gift in disbelief . She was wondering if she was dreaming? Armaan came inside and watching his wife lost in her own thoughts said," Hey."

Riva who was immersed in her thoughts was startled by this sudden interruption . She glared at Armaan and took a deep breath.

Armaan saw the gift box opened so he asked ," Do you like it?".
She looked stunned , and just nodded her head in yes . She doesn't know what to say , she was speechless.After this short conversation Armaan went inside the bathroom to get changed .

After two days , at singhania mansion.
A lady came . She was dressed in a salwar suit and had put on some makeup to make her look young . She entered the house and shouted ," Bhaiya, where are you?"

Hearing her voice everyone came downstairs in the living room. Riva and Armaan also reached there . Seeing her Armaan held Riva's hands tightly . Riva was surprised to witness this . She tried to free her hands but his grip was very tight .

Rudraksh came . The lady hugged him . For the first time in these days Riva saw Rudraksh smiling . He happily hugged her .Then he asked servants to prepare her favourite snacks . After a while she looked at Riva and said," so you are Mr. Kapoors daughter?"

"Yes," Riva answered.

" Didn't your parents teach you to touch the feet of elders when you meet them or you like to follow foreign traditions," She said .

Riva didn't like the way she talked about her parents but doesn't want to create more issues so she bent down and touched her feet freeing her hands from Armaan's grip . Armaan too touched her feet .

Then lady said, " ohk ohk.. I am Armaan's bua Juhi Singhania . So basically I am also your bua."
Riva nodded .

Then after a little chit- chat , everyone went into their rooms. Juhi was not leaving a single chance to taunt Riva and Riva was enduring everything.
In the room Armaan said, " Make sure you stay away from bua ."

Riva didn't understand much but she nodded her head in yes . She was rejoining her company today so she got ready and came downstairs to have breakfast. Everyone was sitting on the breakfast table. When Riva was about to sit Juhi said in loud and firm voice," what are you doing?"
This made Riva startled , she looked at her confusingly. Juhi continued, " You are daughter in law of our house . Don't you think it should be your duty to serve elders first . You didn't cook breakfast , I let it go after all you came from Kapoors house but here it is Singhania's house so learn some manners ."

Now that's it , Riva was enduring so much since she came but this made her crazy . She said ," Servants are already serving , I don't think they need an extra hand .Also buaji , I respect you but if you have any problem with me or if I do any mistake , please blame me , do not bring my parents in between. " Riva tried to sound polite .

" Now I cannot even utter a word here bhaiya , see what kind of daughter in law you bought who likes to talk back, " Juhi complained.

"Sister , She is Kapoor's daughter what else do you expect. Armaan teach your wife some manners , " Rudraksh said looking at Armaan .

Riva looked at Armaan , he just nod his head in yes and said nothing . Riva had enough , she left that toxic place leaving everyone surprised . Armaan ran after her . Riva was opening the door of her car , she called someone to deliver her car yesterday . Armaan came and held her hand to stop her . He said, " listen."

Riva freed herself from his grip and said ," You know what , I had enough. When my father agreed to our marriage , I agreed only because I know my father must not have any other choice otherwise he will never let me marry you . After marriage , I thought we can live together not like a couple but like roommates , also I was ready to fulfill all the duties of daughter in law for your family since your mother was really nice to me but today , I had enough ... None of you spoke anything against your bua's nonsense . And you.. you even agreed with them . Get lost Armaan , I don't want to be with a weak man who cannot even take a stand for his wife ."

Armaan grabbed her hand and pulled her near him . Riva was looking at Armaan he said ," I have my reasons because of which I cannot raise my voice but I assure you , I will never let this happen again . I already booked an apartment , we will move out today . You don't have to meet buaji ."
