I was sitting in the car with him beside me. He was talking with someone on the phone about something related to work. I don't even know what he does for a living. I don't even know these people. I don't even know who made the wedding arrangements. I was just told to perform it. We never had an engagement ceremony or any other rituals. I know he is unhappy with this marriage but I am also stubborn. I will make this marriage work and that would start by giving him time to process everything. I want to tell him everything about me. I want to know everything about him not just because he is a handsome man. But because his eyes tell me that he has some pain inside him which he doesn't show to anyone. I can tell that he has some painful memory from which he wants to move on but can't do it.


His voice is so sexy!!! 


Stop Ruhi, you have to stop thinking like a hoe. You have to check your emails and message your employees.

Then I retrieved my phone from my handbag and saw numerous emails and messages. I saw one from Ritu, my PA. She is a very nice and sweet girl. I opened her message and saw that there had been a big blunder. Someone tried to steal our designs and they were successful in that. I cannot make a phone call in front of him but when I am alone then I have to talk to Ritu. I texted her that I would call her in an hour. After I kept my phone in my bag, I saw him looking at me but I ignored his questioning gaze and looked towards the window and closed my eyes.


After a few minutes, we arrived at a grand palace and I was shocked to see it. I mean who did I marry? This place is huge. I stared at the palace in aww and I can bet that I was looking comical with my eyes wide and mouth open. I never knew they were this rich. I mean I never tried to look into his background. This place looks like a royal palace.


"Is he a king or something?" I mumbled slowly in surprise. I spoke it so softly that I was not even able to hear it but I saw him snapping his head at me and gazing at me. He was looking at me as if he wanted to figure out whether I was telling the truth or not. I looked at him innocently. I don't know how to react. Are these people royal? They never told me a thing. He was still looking at me trying to figure out something. But I moved my gaze in front and saw various lights. It looked so beautiful and I smiled widely looking at the lights.


"Kitni pyaari lighting hai. Waoh kitna sundar lag rha h." I said softly to myself. And again, the species beside was looking at me. The car stopped suddenly as we reached the entrance. He immediately exited the car and closed the door with a thud. Driver opened the car door for me and I made my way out of the car very slowly. This lehenga is very heavy!


Then I saw my new family at the gate of the door waiting for us. I made my way toward them and stopped in front of Maa. And from my side eyes, I saw him standing beside me. Maa started doing the arti and then asked me to kick the kalash lightly with my right leg. I did it.


"Ruhi bacha, aapka aapke ghar me swaagat h." Maa said and gestured for me to come inside. As I lifted my leg to move inside somebody stopped me.(Ruhi, you are welcome to your house.)


"Stop Bhabhi.. Wait. Bhai first gives me my shagun. If you will not then I will not let to come inside." Meera said looking at him. He rolled his eyes and gave her money. She squealed in delight and ran away.


I moved forward and entered the house. I was walking very slowly because of the lehnga. Maa was walking with me but he ran away after entering in the house. Why is he so much angry? As if only he is in it not me.


"Ruhi, come let me show you your room. You might be tired. We will do other rituals tomorrow." Maa said with a smile to me and I smiled in return. Thank you bholenaath. I just want to sleep peacefully right now. All these rituals made me feel like a doll who had to roam from here to there non-stop.


We went outside a room and Maa opened it. I can smell his cologne in this room. It's his room. Oh god, I forgot that now I had to share a room with him. What if he tried to do something today? I am not ready. Maa told me to sleep early. Then she left and I made my way to the bed and sat on it.


I admired the place and suddenly I realized that I had to talk to Ritu. I instantly dialed her number and she picked it up.


"Good evening mam, Congratulations on your wedding," Ritu said as so as she picked up the call.


"Good evening and thank you. Ritu, tell me the situation." I said to her calmly because I know what has been done is done, there is no use for me to get angry and shout at others. I have to stay calm and composed for my employees.


"Mam, actually our rivals you know Risha Fashion stole our latest winter collection which we were proceeding to launch in few days. But all our designers are so disheartened that they refuse to start it from scratch. I think they would want some motivation." Ritu started explaining about the situation and I listened to it. I had to do something quickly otherwise my company would be in deep trouble. Only a week is left for us to launch the winter collection.


"Listen to me, Ritu. Call the designers tomorrow and tell them to be present in the office. I will come tomorrow and will figure out how to proceed. We will launch the winter collection at its time." I said with determination and Ritu replied positively. I disconnected the call when I heard the noise of footsteps outside the room.


I had to do something to prevent the loss and I also had to motivate my team to work. I do not want them to lose their motivation. I will work day and night with them to prepare new designs and execute them. We have to do everything as a team. It's like God is taking our test and we have to prove to him our worth. I can do it and I will!


Suddenly, the door of the room opened and I saw him moving inside. Anger is visible on his face. What will happen now God? What will I do? Is he going to hit me? Will he scream at me? Help me to tackle this situation bholenath.



What will happen next? What do you guys think Ruhan will do? Will he scream at her or will talk to her nicely? 

Stay tuned to find out.
