Meant to be yours

A night to remember

Third person's POV:

" You're not going to live for long, Payal. Enjoy your married life until then"  RD said while watching the news on TV.
" Any news about Ishika? " He asked his goons.
" Sir, bhabhi didn't go to college for a week. She came to Payal's wedding but she was never alone. We can try only when she goes back to college. " One of the goons informed him.
" Ok. Keep your eyes on her closely. Who knows we might get our chance soon. " RD says as he walks out of the gym.
" Sir, your client is here to see you. " His manager informed him.
" Mr. Dhawan, It's always a pleasure doing business with you. This time, I need more ammunition than usual. " The guy said as RD looks at him.
" When did I ever disappoint you. Consider it done. You will get the details of the package soon. " He shaked hands with him and send him off.
" Rishi, did you see the news? My favorite actress got married. Looks like she's not straight as I thought. " A woman came in excitingly sharing the news.
" Latika, walk slowly. You're pregnant. You need to be careful. " He said gently while holding her hands and help her settle down in the couch.
" Wah, looks like you are more worried about the baby than your sister. "She pouted at him.
The goons who were watching this scene, can't believe their own eyes. The ruthless, merciless man was all soft and mushy for his sister.

Payal's POV:

" Riya, I know you are angry with me and you married me to punish me for my deeds .  You do whatever you want. I won't stop you. But, I do have one request. Please promise me that you won't bring Ishu into any of the things that happen between us and will never separate us. Just stay in Anu's house, please. I need to be with her now more than ever.  " I said to Riya who is busy checking her Instagram feed.
" Why? What made you think I'll hurt Ishu? Anu will kill me if I try to do so. " She asked me. Her eyes still on her mobile.
" I don't know. Maybe you lied to her and she's not gonna take it easy. She will be angry with you. " I replied as I tried calling Ishu again and again. Ishu didn't answer my call and has been ignoring me since the marriage took place .
" She's like an innocent kid and I know how to convince her. " Riya then turned away the other side.
The car halted in front of Modi Mansion.  I can spot Anu and her parents but no signs of Ishu. I can feel it like I am home finally.
" Are you coming or planning on staying here all day? " Riya asked rudely causing me to look at her.
She opened the door and was holding it for me to get down. What a gentlewoman!
" Maa and papa are looking at us, stupid. We need to convince them about our marriage being a love marriage. So, put on your act and make sure they'll believe us. " She told me while holding my hand and smiling at their way.
" I am not stupid and don't you dare call me that. Or else" I stopped as she pinched my waist .
" Else what? " She raised her eyebrows as my mouth was ajar.
" Payal, we know that she's your wife and you have every right to drool over her. But we are waiting here. " Aunty's voice broke my trance. Riya smirked at me as my cheeks turn red due to embarrassment.
" Namrata, do the aarti. " Chirag uncle said as we stood at the entrance. Anamika stood there avoid looking at me. But Ishu is nowhere to be seen.
" Aunty, where is Ishu? " I asked after we all got inside the house and rituals got completed.
" She's looking after the arrangements of Riya's room for the night. " Anu answered as she walked away towards her room.
Aunty showed us a guest room to change our dress. My salwar was already kept inside. Probably Ishu doing. While I locked the door, Riya took her t shirt and trackpant from the cover.
Heyy! What are you doing? " I screamed at her as she start to remove her clothes in the middle of the room.
She didn't mind me at all and soon she's only in her sports bra and boxer shorts. I could see her abs and stunning structure.  I was shamelessly checking her out while she came closer to me.
" Like what you see. You can see it but sadly you're not going to get any of it. Oh who am I kidding? You can't even come near me cause I stink. Didn't you? Too bad, this disgusting lesbian is now your wife and only I can touch you. But I won't as you're straight." She hurt me by quoting something I said to her in the past. I was disgusted with myself for inflicting such a pain in her. I am the reason she's like this now. Gone is the girl who adored me. Standing before me is the strong woman who's self esteem was destroyed by me but still didn't give up.
" Are you going to stand there like a statue all night? " She asked as she sat on the bed. I took my dress to the washroom  and changed into it.
To be honest, I don't know what to worry about. My life? Or for Ishu? Or my so called wife Riya who risked everything for her revenge.

" Thank god, you came out. I am starving. Come, let's eat. " Riya dragged me by my left hand as soon as I got out.

" Maa, I have done everything you asked me. Shall we all have dinner now ? " Ishu came down and spoke with aunty completely ignoring me. Anu sat next to Ishu. Me and Riya sat on the opposite side of the table. Ishu never looked at me.
After dinner, everyone came to the living room.
" Papa, I am tired and have a lot of work tomorrow. Ishu is already yawning. So, we are leaving for our room. " Anu said as she gently held Ishu by her waist.
" No, I am not. " Ishu angrily pouted. She then turned towards aunty and said " Maa, can you stay tonight with us? I miss you. " Ishu hugged aunty.
" Ishi, They're leaving for a vacation tomorrow. Let them go. You can stay with them after they come back. "
" Yes Ishu. Sorry, beta but it's all planned before. This lunatic suddenly got married. " Uncle caught hold of Riya's ear and twisted it lightly . " Chirag, leave her. You kids Go and take some rest. It's going to get dark soon. We all will take leave. " Aunty told us.
Before Ishu tries to stop them again, Anu scooped her in her arms and carried her away.
" Riya, Take good care of Payal. Don't hurt her for you will never hear the end of it from me. " Aunty said to Riya as we walked them off.
" I will, Mom. Don't worry about us. " Riya replied as she closed the car door after aunty sat properly.
Once we got inside, I walked towards Anu's room and knocked on the door. Riya went to her room which is on the other side of the same floor.
" What? " Anu mumbled as she opened the door. The lights were dim.
" I want to see Ishu. " I said as I looked behind her. She moved a little allowing me in. Ishu was sleeping peacefully like a kid.
" She's angry with me. I don't know when her anger subsidies. " I said as I kissed her forehead.
" If it makes any better, she is equally pissed at me and Riya too. She didn't even let me near her. She was crying until she saw you come out of the car here with Riya. She will come around." Anu said as she stand next to me.

" Anu, what made you to ask me marry Riya? " I asked her.
" I know about Riya. She is no less than Anshul. I don't want history to repeat with you. " Anu said. A part of me was happy despite the predicament I am in. This is my friend Anu talking to me after a while.
" Anu, shall we talk over a drink? " I suggested to which she nodded. She led the way to the mini bar in the second floor.
" Did you really forgive me? " I asked her as she took a sip.
" I guess I will eventually. You did what I asked you to. So, I will try. "Anu answered.
" Aren't you going to Riya's room which is also your room? " Anu asked as we came down after a couple of hours. We lost count of the drinks we drank.
" Oh yeah, Riya. Wife. I forgot, yaar. " I said as we walked towards the room.
" How can you, Payal? That's my sister. Go to her. " She pushed me inside the room and locked the door outside.
" Enjoy. Don't be loud. " She shouted from behind the door.
" Just leave. " I giggled at her words while I banged at the door.
When I looked up, I saw a furious sexy woman standing up close to me. But before I could push her away, I puked all over her and fell on her .
" I am sorry. " I mumbled before falling asleep on that hard bed.
