Something immensely bright hit my face as I groaned. Turning away my head, I squeezed my eyes holding my head.

Sliding away the duvet from my body, I sat up straight on my bed.

I was still holding my head with my eyes shut tightly. The throbbing feeling inside my head was eating me out. My whole body is aching. I couldn't even feel the cold air of the AC because a burning feeling was there in each and every fibre of my body.

Massaging my temples, I sighed before opening my eyes.

Picking up the telephone from the bedside stand, I said as soon as the call connected, "Bring me my tea."

Throwing it there, I got off the bed. My morning was itself starting with frustration so I don't know how I'll manage the day.

I had even forgotten that today I had my haldi ceremony until maa yelled from the other side of the closed door of my room, "Arnav, get ready quickly. The Haldi ceremony is going to start soon. We need to leave. And yeah, cover those marks."

I remained silent listening to her words before voicing out a 'yeah'. But what I didn't get were her last words.

Which marks?

I scrunched my brows prior to shrugging my shoulders and walked inside the bathroom.

Picking up the brush, I put some toothpaste on it before wetting it under the tap.

As I rose my head to look at my reflection, my gaze fell on my neck.

Marks after marks are there. There were almost four to five marks if I'm not wrong. And they're not some normal marks but fucking ass hickeys.

When did I sleep with someone? I don't even remember a thing-

Anika.

I fisted my hands on the sink's edge as I remembered the previous night's activities. I didn't remember much but just hearing one of my bestfriends giving some dare to Anika and the rest of the events were just blurry memories inside my head.

My head was throbbing but all the pain had been replaced by anger and disgust. That woman can really stoop too low to get what she wanted.

She really took advantage of my drunk state.

She even dared to fucking mark me. It disgusted me.

But it hurt me too. It hurt me that I had an intimate night with the one whom my brother loved so much who in return left him shattered. Who in return is now the subject of my revenge, yet, I stepped on my words.

Shutting my eyes before opening them and glaring at the marks, I gritted my teeth.

"Be fast okay bhai?", said Aisha, fixing my floral half jacket over the white kurta.
