The Misunderstood Bride

Chapter 27. New beginnings✨

Veer's pov:

Next morning, i wake up with a soft, warm body sleeping beside me. My wife. She looks so pretty sleeping beside me. She is definitely a sight to behold. Her bare face, the morning freshness, she is just so perfect. And she looks so much more beautiful in my arms....

Images of last night come to my mind. Her pain, my caress, my cuddle, my hug, our kiss....it feels like a dream. But ik it wasnt. It was real. I kissed her and she kissed me back. It was the most precious moment of my life. It was something that i always want to cage in my heart as a forever memory. I want us to become a normal couple. Can we live like a loving couple? Will she ever love me? She kissed me...does it mean she also has feelings for me? So many questions, so many thoughts come to my mind. Its all her feelings...she is the one to decide but yes i will ensure that she is comfortable here from now onwards...the last 2 weeks i treated her like shit...like my maid....i wanted to stop her and to treat her right but the anger and my ego didnt let me. I have somehow accepted the fact that she may not love me and maybe she still loves Tarun. It wasnt her fault. I married her against her will. Maybe she doesnt know the reality of Tarun and genuinely loved him?

I sigh and push my thoughts away for a while. I glance towards the clock and its just 6:30 am. I go to the gym and spend an hour there. When i return after my daily workout session, i find Akriti awake and trying to get up from the bed.

"Hey...wait what are you doing? Why are u getting up?"

"Ummm...its 7:30am i need to freshen up and complete the household work."

"Noo..you..you wont do that today..or from now onwards...i will call the maid and make sure she joins from today. You just take rest."

"But you dont need to do that..i can manage...i hv been managing it since 2 weeks and its fine i can do it.."

"No..u dont need to...just take rest.."

"But i have to make breakfast for us."

"I will call the nearby restaurant and order breakfast for us for today and a chef will be joining us soon today to prepare lunch and dinner. He will come by 7  every morning from tomorrow and prepare each meal and store it in the fridge. You just need to reheat the food in the microwave and serve. The other household work will be done by seperate maids. It all will be taken care of . You just take rest for today atleast."

"But Veer..."

"No need to argue Akriti...its my order"

"Okay..alright but i still need to get up and freshen up for the day."

"No..we slept late...you were in so much pain yesterday...u will sleep for another few hours today.."

"Okay but shall i atleast use the restroom?"

"Yes ofcourse.."

I notice her taking the sanitary napkins from the drawer and moving towards the washroom. She takes her time and is back after 15 mins. She doesnt go towards the bed but stands at the enterance of the washroom staring me with some sort of confused expressions.

"What do you wanna ask akriti?"

"Ummm nothing as such...i was just curious...why are you behaving like this suddenly? I was not well yesterday but today i am fine.. so why are u acting like this today?"

"I am not acting Akriti...i realised my mistake..i want this marriage to work too...i shouldn't have treated you like my servant but i should have given you the rights of a wife...i was very angry upon you after that night but that anger was somehow subsided by 2-3 days yet my ego didnt let me rectify my mistake. Yesterday i got the chance and i just did what i wanted to since last so many days. I have been very cruel to you...ik i married you forcefully so i cant expect you to accept me as your husband suddenly...it will take time i understand...i want us to be friends from now on...will try to behave like a normal couple and for that we need to be friends. I treated you wrong in the past. I did very wrong and i feel guilty for that. I am really sorry. Sorry Akriti❤️."

I tell her everything that was going on in my mind except the truth that i have feelings for her. That may be too much for her to handle. She doesnt react anything but stands there shocked, maybe unable to find her words. Suddenly she starts moving and in a second she has rushed towards me and is now hugging me. She hugged me. She is holding me tight and hugging me as if i am her only chance of survival in a deadly situation. I hug her back and i hug her very tightly. We hug each other for a while and when she finally breaks free, she has tears in her eyes but this time i can tell that those are happy tears.

"Thankyou...thankyou so much Veer...I...I really want us both to be friends and i will do my best to make this marriage work. I will ensure that you can trust me. And please know that i dont love Tarun. I never did. I will tell you everything when you will be willing to listen and when u will trust me. I will make sure that it happens. Until then thankyou for giving me a hope again. Thankyou so much...❤️"

"Its fine Akriti...I also want to know you and be friends with you...i will try to put my trust in you..you are my wife...i will always protect you....now go and sleep beautiful..."

"Yes...what will you do?"

"I am going to bath and then will resume my office work. I have some urgent things to complete. You take rest. Will have breakfast together when you wake up. Just go now."

"Okay...all the best.."

"Sleep tight beautiful..."

She smiles at me and lays over the bed. After a few minutes she is finally asleep. I feel so lighthearted after sharing myself with her. I smile too and walk to the washroom to freshen up and start my day.....
