Taste of Treachery (A saga of betrayal and hateful love)

17.

PALAK'S POV:

I went towards the closet. Not gonna lie, Singhania's are really so much royal, off course bruh they are royals and this mahal is more than just luxurious. I don't know any word more reliable that luxurious, in fact there is nothing that can describe this mahal's beauty. His cloths were hung there as it is a walk-in closet.

Cloths, casual cloth (which cost more than my yearly fees), shoes, sneakers, sliders every type of foot wear were there. Next section was filled with luxurious, branded, limited edition's watches. Then another section was filled with various luxurious perfumes and even this whole closet smells like him.

I shrugged that off as I noticed my bags there, I opened the bag and took out my cloths because I need a solid shower now. I went inside the bathroom and this is what I ever EXPECTED.

THE LUXURIOUS BATHROOM.

A bathroom that is 5x bigger than my orphanage room. It is so beautiful that I can spent my whole day here. I removed the veil and undo the hairs letting then breath after this long day and every single ornaments from my body then I removed my heavy skirt and then blouse.

I had shorts underneath the skirt. I placed ornaments and the lehenga on the table and looked at myself as the makeup is still on my face. I was about to go out from bathroom on just bra and panties which are matching but then I remembered my encounter with him where he almost saw me half naked.

I took the bathrobe and wore and went in closet to took my cleanser and shampoo only. Then I took a long relaxing bath and genuinely it is the first ever relaxing bath I ever take. After completing my morning routine, I went in the room and noticed that he is still not there which is kind of odd but good for me.

I threw myself on the bed and the soft mattress instantly melt me into it. It's so soft and comfortable. But then I realize it's not my bed and yuvraaj not going to let me sleep in his bed. Off course why would he?

I made a pout and rolled on bed. I stood up and removed the towel from my head and wipe my head till it dries a little so that I won't catch headache. I placed towel in bathroom and went to couch.

This couch is also comfortable enough to have good sleep but its small that I will fall as I have habit of cuddling and rolling even sleeping like a zombie which is not good but what can I do, I love my sleep so much.

I love to sleep on just my shorts and the cotton lose tank top without bra but I cant here. And that's why I wore cotton kurta and even bra huff. I lay on the couch and without my knowing I dozed off to my dreamland.

It's my "mudikhai" today and I have to wake early so here I am getting ready. Maa and chachi were helping me in wearing a deep red color saree. The saree is so beautiful and it is handmade and made up of gold threads and pure silk. It's so elegant.

Maa and chachi finishes wearing me saree. I smiled at myself as I looked into the mirror as this saree is defining my curves so beautifully.

"thank you so much maa and chachi and I think I should take classes of wearing saree from you both"

we three laugh at my sentence when maa rolled her palm over my head.

" no need to thank you beta, you are our daughter now and you can always ask whatever you want. Do not hesitate when asking something okay"

" we are your own family now beta"

I nodded and hugged them and they hugged me back.

" get ready soon, upasna or I will call you okay"

I nodded and they both left the room. I again looked at myself in mirror and start doing my makeup. I did a simple but fresh makeup and I am very thankful to god that I have a good skin. I applied lipstick and take a look at myself again.

My sight felt on my makeup products which were on dressing table. Its not messy but arranged in box. So I kept that box on side of the table and wore my read and golden bangles. I took the vermillion and applied into my hair partition.

Just then I had a thought of him. I didn't see him since last night. I don't even know he came last night or not. I again shrugged the thought and then I heard a door opening sound. Maa and chachi came with red dupatta with them.

" uff... the goddess !!!"

Chachi said making me chuckle and shy at her sentence.

" you are looking so beautiful beta !!"

She took some kajal and applied behind my ear and I thanked her. They both are really so sweet. But then the things I am hearing from past fifteen years rang in my mind making my smile go week.

I don't know what should I do. They are totally opposite of what she has said to me. I cant melt~

My thoughts got cut off when maa said.

" everyone is desperately waiting to see the new bride. I know it's just our closest and very less member but still, I wish I could make an big announcement of my daughter-in-law but you know for now we can not..."

She said and made a sad face. I smiled and said.

" its okay maa, no worries. Even I am not ready for that as I still didn't complete my studies and don't want so much attention"

They laugh and then chachi helped me to cover my face with that veil and I can't even see through that veil. only my feet were visible. Chachi held my hand and start walking downstairs. Chachi made me sit on the big velvet chair while my face was still covered.

" maa, can we start now, I want to see Bhabhi and click her pictures plz plz. You didn't let us see her now at least start this soon!!"

" yupp we will start now"

Vihaan said along with tiasha and then my nervousness consumes me. My palm clutched to the veil side and I bite my inside lips while my breaths become hard and heartbeat so fast. Because of the fear being judge.

I am not that beautiful. I have little brown skin and even my cheeks are also chubby. I never want to be a center of attention. I made myself prepare for this day but my all confidence lost somewhere that I can't even hear something~

My thoughts got cut when someone lift the veil. My eyes darted towards the person and froze at his hazel green eyes. It's so intimating. Our eyes hold each other's. His breathings were hitting on my face our faces were this much close. I stared at him, he started at me.

Without blinking.

Its like my everything got lost. His face neutral, without any expression. My heartbeat stops for some seconds while my eyes nervously stare at his.

He then put back the veil and i was dumbfounded by what just happened. I closed my eyes as my heartbeat went even fast now. I don't know why I am scared of his. 

His presence makes me shivers and nervous but I can't do this, I have to stay strong and on my track.

After then one by one came and then gave gifts to me. Maa gives me a diamond necklace which looks so costly. After such a long time, the ritual finally ends. 

I went inside the room after successfully adding my hand print on the sensor.
