The Misunderstood Bride

Chapter 18. The demon himself🖤

Veer's pov:

After greeting Mr and Mrs Rathore, we entered the venue hall with our hands intertwined with each other. Her delicate and soft hand felt so much satisfying in my cold hand. It was such a serene feeling. God what is happening to me!?

Next, we went to congratulate the groom and his bride with my family. We talked for a bit. The groom was my family friend but we weren't so close. His bride was smiling while watching me but i ignored her. She was pretty but she was nothing in front of my wife. My wife had a different level of beauty. She looked ethereal without makeup also when she wakes up. That face is something which is created by god with huge efforts.

I took her hand and took her to a secluded spot being tired of the fake laughter with the groom and his bride. My parents left to meet the other relatives while Shreya and Vinay went to meet their friends. Vinay is close to the groom and his friends. They are of the same age. I looked at my wife who was busy fidgeting with her pallu looking nervous.

"What happened Akriti?"
"Ummm..nothing much..its just that meeting so many people in just an hour made me feel a lil bit nervous. I have never talked to so many people in my whole life."
"Oh..do you wanna head home? I will tell mom and dad that you arnt feeling well."
"No..no i wanna stay here and enjoy the party. I wanna see what this looks like till the end. Idk when will i ever be able to attend a big function like this."

Now this should be your daily routine coz she is my bride now and that means she will have to attend parties like these regularly. Afterall she is the wife of Veer Malhotra. I thought to myself. If she likes attending functions like these, i will definitely plan more outings for her........what am i thinking? She doesnt love you but she loves Tarun!!!!

This thought irritated me and i excused myself from there going towards the bar and getting my head off those thoughts so that i dont do something that i will regret later like last night. I made Akriti go to Shreya so that i can spend some time alone. I found an old acquaintance at the bar and we started discussing our business. I was glad to talk about something which made my mind off her thoughts. It was all i needed at that moment and my drink ofc.......

Akriti's pov:

All my life i used to wonder what those big functions look like. I was curious to know but never thought about attending one. And here i am attending such an extraordinary event with huge crowd and such a lavish arrangement. The drinks are being served for free here which are from the top international brands. The food here is so extraordinary that i dont even know what it is actually. I am so good at cooking myself but even i couldnt understand what the dish is actually that i read. I didnt have anything yet fearing that the dish can be a non vegetarian one when i am a vegetarian. And am too shy to ask someone for the same. I cant let them think that the wife of Veer Malhotra cant even comprehend that the dish is a vegetarian one or a non vegetarian one.

Here i am standing with my so handsome husband who looks so dashing today. Earlier when he took and hand and intertwined his with mine, i felt butterflies in my stomach. Idk what's happening to me but i am getting attached to him. After we meet a thousand guests already, he finally takes me to a secluded spot and i relax for a bit. I am still nervous. Veer asks me about my nervousness and i reply honestly. He seems to be thinking something but i dont ask him about it. Suddenly there is a shift in his mood. I can sense it and his eyes literally darken all of a sudden. I choose to let him be and not ask something fearing that he will scold me. He asks me to go to Shreya standing nearby the main entrance as he has to go meet someone. I politely agree and watch his retreating figure towards the bar. I sigh and wonder what happens to him at times. Why is he like this. Sometimes sweet and sometimes sour. Kabhi khushi kabhi gham? I push my thoughts aside and go towards Shreya who is standing towards the other end from the bar.

While am approaching her, a hand suddenly pulls me aside near a room and someone pulls me inside. It was so sudden that i dont realise whats happening until i find myself inside a room with someone's hand covering my mouth. He closes the door and panic grips me. I try to free myself from his hold but he is too strong for me.
Finally he releases me and i turn around to see his face. I gasp loudly when i see him. Its the demon himself. The one who is responsible for all of this. Mr Tarun!!!! He is looking at me with seductive eyes and he is checking me out from top to bottom. I shudder under his gaze and put my hands around my waist.

"What are you doing? Why am i here?"
"Oh my dear Akriti...ik you missed me right? Look what happened to us baby...that bastard Veer took you away from me on our wedding day and now you have to be his wife. But dont worry i will save you from him very soon. I will come and get you soon my future bride."

His words made me shudder...no i dont wanna go to him ever. I can live with Veer but i cant tolerate him. I can never be with him. God no save me. I open my mouth to give a befitting reply but stop upon noticing my situation. I am locked inside with him and the music is so loud outside that no one will be able to hear my scream. I cant anger him and i will have to act nicely according to him so that he lets me go and thinks i am with him.

"Ahh yes Mr Tarun... i dont wanna be his wife...it happened so suddenly...i will try to leave him somehow and make him divorce me."
"You dont need to worry about anything baby girl...i will free you myself from him and take you back to me and then we will marry and live our happily ever after."

Never in my life will i ever marry him. I will always be with Veer. Ik he doesnt trust me yet but i will win his trust and win him completely. I just need to agree to this demon here so that he lets me go. I will tell Veer about this myself once we reach home.

"Yes Mr Tarun but i need to leave now or else someone will notice me missing and come here and see me with you which will spoil our plan."
"Oh yes you are so smart my future wife... but first come and give me a hug."

I become uncomfortable upon hearing this but soon i realise its all a part of my plan and act. I have to do this. I go towards him and he hugs me. I dont hug him back. It feels so bad to be around him..uhh he is so stinky....

He finally leaves and gets out from the window. I sigh with relief and i smile wondering that my plan worked. Now i need to tell Veer regarding this so that i can take his help to avoid this Tarun forever. I go towards the door and open the lock. I pull the door open and the sight that i see makes my breath rise and my pulse rises. My husband is standing there at the door looking like he will kill anyone. His eyes are sooo darkened and his face screams anger. It seems as if he heard our conversation. Hey Mahadev please save me now.......
