I kept staring outside the glass wall of my home office trying to fix the mess inside my head.
After his yesterday's words, I'm beyond shocked and shaken. I was taken aback for a moment and after that I didn't speak a single word. I just knew Arnav Rai Mehrotra as Obsidian Exotics's owner. But him being a gangster too was something hard to digest. I never paid attention to underground business news but now I'm marrying a gangster.
Even though I kept myself composed, I was scared. I was scared because he's someone who can kill anyone anytime and I'm not an exception. I won't regret my death but along with me, some other lives would be affected and some might end too.
After we arrived in India, I straight came to my parents' house and he went to his.
After I had freshened up, I talked to Rooh and there she dropped another bomb.
She told me that Arnav is 34 years old and here I am, 25. He's fucking nine years older than me.
It's obvious for him to be that much old because Dhruv is two years older than me and he has another elder brother before Arnav; Rohan, who's 29.
Everything feels so heavier than I expected it to be. I knew I was welcoming another mess but never expected to call myself a 'ganster's wife'. He owns a law firm which is something that's related to legal justice and on the other hand, he runs an illegal business without any fear.
I sighed. I intended to stand here more and keep being lost in my thoughts but someone knocked on the door.
Turning around, I fixed my red kurta and the dupatta over it before voicing out, "Yes come in". The door opened revealing my mami clad in a golden stone embedded saree with a cream coloured quarter sleeve blouse. Her hair is tied up into a low bun and white mogra flowers have been put around it. She stepped inside with a warm smile. Behind her is Maya dii clad in a set of orange anarkali suit set that she had brought from Sabyasachi few days ago. Her hair isn't tied up.
Mami stood in front of me and held onto my right arm softly, "Ani beta, it's getting late. Go and get ready fast. After the Roka it's the engagement party so you don't have much to get ready. Be fast okay?", her voice is so sweet and soft. I nodded with a smile.
Once she left, dii pulled me to the deep blue L-shaped sofa placed at a distance from the main door.
Once we were settled down properly, she spoke, "Are you really sure Ani? He didn't force you right? I didn't get to talk to you about this face-to-face", her voice came out concerned. No matter how much we fight and don't talk, she's my both mother and father.
I sighed looking down at my lap.
"Dii, I want to ask you a question?", I spoke rising up my head to face her. I tried diverting her attention from that question. If I try to feed her with my made-up answer, she might find me suspicious.
