Married life begins..

    Author's pov

   Aisha looked at him with confusion and puzzled expression, she hasn't seen this expression on Aryan's face ever... He looked distressed. Well she even felt a change in his aura when they entered in the mansion.

    " Aisha now that you are an important part of my life I want to share this with you..." Aryan said looking into her eyes and Aisha nodded slight.

    " I have maa , papa , Chachu , Chachi , brother , sister and Dadu in this house... A complete family it seems but I am not part of their world for them , their happy family. They never treated me like one..."

     " Few years back I found from my chachu that somehow I was the cause of my grandma's death . She was gone even before I was born , I don't know what my fault was but they just hate me for it... " Aryan said looking down , after hearing such thing Aisha felt pained and squeezed Aryan's hand gently.

     Aisha never thought that he has such a secret hidden behind that kind self and calm eyes... He seemed unbothered from outside but who knew he was suffering all along , all alone.

     Aryan looked up at her and gave her a small smile.

    " But Dadu never blamed me... He even said it wasn't my fault at all , he loves me the most... Even maa loves me but she doesn't like to show it. " He continued after a sigh and Aisha caressed his cheeks gently.

    " Don't feel bad for me because I am used to it. I...I just want you to understand my family situation , you are my wife now so maybe they will treat you similarly and I apologise -"

    " Sshhh... You don't have to say anything , you have already done more then enough for me for which I will always be grateful to you and.... I  understand you."

    Aryan smiled slightly after hearing her word , by saying that he has done more then enough for her and she is grateful to him , she made him feel like an outsider. She said she understands him but doesn't understand his immense love for her...

    Aryan shook all the thoughts out and decided to focus on Aisha and their married life ahead.

    With time everything will be fine he thought .

     " Let's sleep.." he said and they went back to the room.

    Aryan sat on the bed ready to lie down but Aisha was hesitant.

    Aryan held her hand and pulled her to the bed .

    " I promise I won't ever touch you without your permission... Trust me." Aryan said .

    " I do.." Aisha said almost instantly which made him smile.

    " Now sleep.."

    They lied beside each other still maintaining some distance between them.

     Next day Aisha woke up early in the morning and felt something heavy around her waist , she blinked her eyes to shoo away the sleep and looked down only to find Aryan's arm wrapped around her waist firmly.... She felt her cheeks heated up and bite her lips.

      Even his face was much closer to her then it has ever been... She found herself lost in his serene face , he looks so peaceful.

     Aryan stirred in his sleep , snapping Aisha out of her trance and taking the apportunity she shifted away from him... His arm was not around her anymore and she was thankful for that because she doesn't wanna a start an awkward morning.

     Aisha again drifted into deep thoughts , she was thinking about her life and then her mother which moisten her eyes but she blinked her tears back and decided to not cry anymore because she doesn't want to make her maa sad and Aryan worried.

      Aryan slowly opened his eyes and the first think his gaze settled on was his newly wedded beautiful wife lost in deep thoughts...

     He saw the corner of her eyes a little red and got worried , he knew she was thinking about Neelam maa.

    " Aisha..." He called out softly and Aisha looked at his worried face , she blinked her eyes and gave him a small smile.

     " I am fine..." This words assured him that she was trying .

     Before they could have any further conversation there was a knock on their bedroom door.

    " I will see..." Aryan said and got up.

    He opened the door and found Jhanvi standing there with a paper bag in her hand.

     " Give this to Aisha and tell her to get ready , after that both of you come to the Pooja room." saying that Jhanvi handed  the bag to Aryan and left.

     " Who was at the door..!?" Aisha asked as Aryan walked back to their bed after closing the door.

    " It was maa , she gave this and told you to get ready ." Aryan said and handed her the bag.

    Aisha removed the content from the bag and found a beautiful saree and few jeweller items that matched her outfit.

     " Go and freshen up now... There's a door in the bath which is also attached to the walk in closet." Aryan said with a smile , well it's not going to be tough for his wife to leave in his house after all his mother was already showing the signs of exceptence to his wife ...he guessed.

    Aisha nodded her head and went to take bath.

     As Aisha was always fond of sarees , she draped it without any problem and not to mention elegantly.

    When she came out of the walk in  closet Aryan wasn't in the room , she walked to the vanity table and saw Aryan in the balcony talking on his phone.
She placed the thinks her mother-in-law gave her on the vanity table and was ready in no time.

     Aryan ended the call with Kabir , he was worried for Aisha and wanted to know how she was doing...

    Aryan came back to his room and was awestruck by his beautiful wife , she was looking like a goddess.

    " Aryan..." Aisha called softly as he was just looking at her without uttering a word.

   " Ah..ha... yeah... what happened..!?" He fidgeted with words due to embarrassment of getting caught .

   " Woh...umm.. there's no vermillion powder." She said with a little troubled expression.

   " It's alright , we will go for shopping today and buy the things you need... You sit , i will take bath and come back."
