Why did you marry me? he asked and she doesn't know what to answer this. Does he not know anything or does he just want her to remember that she had been sold to his family

My.........I married you for the money, which we need.... but before she could say any further she heard a bang, he walked out of the room while shutting the door loudly. What was that, is this his way of humiliating her. She sat on the couch holding her head, her head already is throbbing, she was going to ask him for some medicine but he had some other plans. Happy married life Shrija, she mumbled before picking her clothes to change. 


She woke up with knocking sound, a strong smell of alcohol greeted her as soon as she opened the door and all sleepiness instantly vanished from her eyes. There, her newly branded husband is standing no hanging with the help of his PA. 

Ma'am, she looked at his PA. 

Oh, she forgot that she is standing in their way. She moved aside and he made Aayansh lie on the bed before leaving the room. Is his family not aware of him coming in this drunken state, advantage of a big house, I guess. Huhh, when did he change his clothes, she murmured in confusion after closing the door. He went out of this room in his Sherwani but returned in the Shirt and Pant. 

He was lying on the bed with his shoes on, ruining this neat and beautiful bedsheet, while trying to take off his belt, which must be causing discomfort to him. She took off his shoes, belt, wallet and watch and kept them on the side table. She looked at his phone which was showing 5:07 am, she looked at the empty jug on side table and went to kitchen to get some water. 



She saw him sweating and breathing heavily when she came back with the jug of water, she took a little extra time to reach their kitchen as it is the new place for her. What's wrong with him, side effects of drinking this much. Where is this stupid remote, she picked up the remote from side table and turned the temperature down a little before moving to his side. He wasn't moving even a bit just breathing heavily, she opened few upper buttons of his Shirt. She kept rubbing his chest lightly till his breathing became normal and the frown on his eyebrows disappeared. She also lied beside him as it is still early. 


Good morning, Kaki, Shrija entered the kitchen, where their househelp is working. 

Good morning Bitiya, Shabana replied while pouring the tea in 4 cups. 

Where is everyone? Shrija asked looking around at the kitchen.

Sahab and Memsahab are in the garden with Sudha Madam and Kashi Madam and others are sleeping, Shabana replied with a smile. Do you need anything, she asked.

Don't worry, you go, I'll help myself, Shrija replied.

I'll just come, Shabana said and picked up the tray before leaving the kitchen.
