Under His Control [ON HOLD]

2. Tears of gold

Mama always told me that I was too naive

Gave away my trust for pennies

I said don't you worry

Didn't think that I'll be

Broken down and crying help me

'Mom , I feel so scared ' I said to my mom as the trembling in my hands wouldn't stop . I was scared of what my supposed husband had in store for me. Today was the wedding day and my anxiety was reaching its peak.

She didn't say anything , she was standing beside the window looking outside with a blank face . Her eyes filled with unshed tears . She was like this from the moment she got to know about my arrangement with Ranvijay. Her silence was telling me a different story which was filled with darkness and pain.

The whole ceremony went away in a haze . I neither smiled nor cried , I put on a neutral face . As the priest announced us Husband and wife , Ranvijay's hand gripped mine in a bruising hold .

It was time for the final farewell, no matter how much I tried to control myself to stay indifferent, tears made their way from my eyes as I looked at my mom's crying face . She hugged me tightly as if I would disappear.

'You're my strong girl. Don't let anyone crush your spirit down , Aleyna ' she whispered breaking the hug while pressing a kiss on my forehead.

Dad came towards me enveloping me in his embrace whispering reassuring words while my brother just watched me with tear filled eyes .

'I'm sorry Aleyna . I never wanted this to happen' He said softly as he hugged me and I cried loudly in his arms.

'It's time.' Priya , Ranvijay's sister , said putting her hand on my shoulder.

I turned around as she guided me towards the black Maybach . She opened the door to the passenger seat helping me with the heavy lehenga . I sat inside the car and instantly the driver's door opened with a jerk causing me to flinch.

It was him. My husband.

He didn't spare me a glance as he drove out of the venue . Tears streamed down my face and the sounds of my sobs were evident in the silence inside the car .

Ranvijay looked at me sideways and said in a deep voice ' Give me your Phone , Aleyna.'

'I don't like to repeat myself, sweetheart.' He added while lifting my face with his fingers on my chin .

I took my phone from the clutch and handed it over to him .He kept my phone in the pocket of his pants not giving me a slight hint on why he took my phone.

We arrived at the Rathore estate in two hours .He came towards me as I stepped outside the car . He held my hand in his , intertwining our fingers , walking towards the entrance of the mansion .

We performed the rituals which held great significance in the Rathore family , his mother came beside me , holding my hand gently.

'I know the circumstances in which your marriage happened were not good but try to give this marriage a chance , Aleyna. You are now one of our own .' She said with a soft tone while smiling profoundly.

' I'll try , Mrs Rathore' I replied while placing a forced smile on my face.

' Call me Maa from now onwards.' She smiled through her words to which I nodded reluctantly.
