His Reluctant Bride

Chapter-10

Third person's POV

The marriage procession was taking place in a beautifully decorated pavilion

Prisha was roaming around the hall in her beautiful lehanga and she was looking enchanting

"Wowww bandariya.... Your dress is good" Aditya said to her and Prisha was shocked as Aditya was complimenting her

She went near Aditya and put her hand on his forehead

"He is not having fever I guess he is way too tired due to wedding preparations that is why he is speaking good things by mistake" Prisha said in a low voice while Aditya narrowed his eyes after listening to her

"Oh bandariya, I was not complementing you or your dress but I was just stating that your dress is good as it can be pretty helpful" Aditya said while Prisha looked at him with confusion

" Areee....you dumb bandariya, if you will twirl once in the whole hall after the ceremony is over then the whole hall will be clean and the staff's burden will be reduced" Aditya said while laughing loudly and Prisha rolled her eyes at him

"Stupid, you are the first clown who is laughing on his own stupid antiques" Prisha said while weirdly looking at him
                           *******

There were not many people present in the procession

The Panditji was chanting the mantras and asked the bride and groom to stand for saat pheres around the holy fire
(Seven rounds)

Abhay immediately stood up while Aakriti was still sitting there as if she was in a daze. Everyone was looking at them so Abhay harshly grabbed Aakriti's hand and took all the rounds while holding her hand tightly and Aakriti bit her lip to bear the pain and stomped her feet on his deliberately

The people looking at them might consider it as a loving gesture which it seemed to be but the couple know better than that

And just like that all the rituals were completed

"You both are now husband and wife" Panditji said while looking at the couple

It was Aakriti's vidaai and she shared an emotional moment with her family and Prisha was crying bitterly and continuously asking her to not go away. The poor girl was trying to convince her father to ask Abhay to stay with them but her parents made her understand that her sister has to go and were internally making themselves understand the same too

The family shared a group hug and it was very difficult for Aakriti to leave her family behind

After sime time
In Raichands Mansion

I was sitting on the bed in his room which was fully decorated with petals and candles adorning every corner of the room

And as the time was passing my anxiety was reaching on the top

It is 2 a.m. and still my so called husband has not graced me with his stupid presence

I was standing on the balcony when I heard a sound and saw him entering

He was coming towards me with slow and calculated steps and there was something about him which was making me nervous but I didn't show it

He reached near me and and pulled at my hand harshly

"Leave me, you jerk..." I screamed at him but it seem as if my words were falling in deaf ears

He looked at me with blood red eyes and leaned down and whispered, "Not so easily, sweetheart"

And then I realised he was drunk as he was reeking of alcohol

I pushed him and saw his eyes became red due to anger and I started stepping back while he pulled me from my waist and I hit his chest with all my might but it seemed to trigger him more as the next moment he pulled my hair

"Today is our wedding night, darling.... Did you forget?" He said in my ear hoarsely while my face lost all its colour after listening to his words

"No... I won't let you do anything .... I have already done what you wanted... You can't force me, understood? "I screamed

"Oh, I can do anything and everything I want" he said while chuckling devilishly

" Why are you doing this? Why are you ruining my life? What pleasure you are going to get out of it?! " I asked him in a calm voice so as to not trigger him further as he is not in his senses

" You are the one who has started it all! You have ruined everything since day one" he said in a booming voice while I was confused as I couldn't decipher the meaning behind his words

"I had my life perfectly planned out. But everything is ruined now. I was going to marry Tanya and live peacefully. But thanks to you, I can't have my peace but I won't let you live peacefully too. I will completely ruin you, Aakriti" he finished and I was fuming

" You are sick! How is it any of my fault, You psychotic man?! " I said with acrimony lacing my voice while he chuckled loudly and his eyes darkened

" Oh, this is nothing... You will get to know about the extent of eccentricity with time, sweetheart. Don't worry your pretty little head now" he said in a dangerously low voice

I started moving towards the bed because I needed to sleep after such hectic day and I couldn't deal with this man right now. But he pulled me back

" Where do you think you are going? " He asked me

" To sleep" I replied shortly

"And who said that you would sleep on bed?"

"It is my bed too, I am your wife"

" You are not my wife.. Understood?! "

" You were the only one who forced me to marry you, I was not dying to marry you, Understood?! "

" For me, you are nothing more than a toy" he said nonchalantly

" Sleep on floor"

" As if I care about what you want.. "

" But I think you would like to care about your family"

" This is wrong. You can't force me into doing whatever you want by blackmailing me by dragging my family every time"

" I don't care about right and wrong. Now are you going or not? "

" You are the worst, you know that?! "I spatted in a venomous voice and slept on the floor while turning my body away from him
