HIS SHATTERED SOULMATE || 18+

CHAPTER-5: he kissed me!

RUHI POV

I was lying on my bed but sleep seems to be the last thing that will occupy my mind and eyes. I couldn't shake the look and the words spoken to me by Aarman. Aarman is a man of his words and its fact as I have known him for a pretty long time.

When he said those venomous things to me to the one he said while kneeling down infront of me, I don't know which one to believe.

Should I trust me?

I don't want to go through that pain again, I don't want to go back to those dark days that I've lived alone and damaged. I'd appreciate starting my life with a complete stranger than serving my life on a platter to someone who had already took it for granted.

Tomorrow, my would-be husband along with his family will be visiting to finalize our marriage. My baba sa has never asked anything from me ever before, he never stopped me from going reckless with my life even when I said that I want to move to city to complete my masters. He didn't even questioned me when I came back home 10 months ago, leaving all my efforts and studies inbetween.

I couldn't wait to leave all the headache and sorrows behind and move on with my life, even if it means getti ng away from my own family.

I brushed off everything from my mind and closed my eyes to get some sleep as I don't want to remain disoriented and irritated tomorrow.

Next morning

I looked at myself in the mirror and couldn't even recognise the girl that was staring back at me. I mean, I looked completely different from what I had been. I never liked wearing my traditional poshak that much or taking a veil and following all of those rituals but now I couldn't help but fall in love with what I've become and even fall deeper in love with my culture.

" Ruhi, bache maa sa aapko neeche bula rahin hai. Woh log aa gaye hai"
( Ruhi, maa sa is calling you downstairs. Our guest have arrived)

" Ji, aaye bhabhi sa" I yelled back and covered my face with my odni. I was wearing a blush pink poshak with minimal jewellery. My hands were adorned with glass bangles and my anklets made a melodious sound.
( Coming bhabhi sa)

I walked out and saw bhabhisa was waiting for me at my door. She held my hand and lead me towards the backyard. I could hear mind talking and laughing sound, I could feel someone's eyes on me making me feel fuzzy. I could easily look around through my veil.

I chocked on my spit when I saw HIM sitting beside ADITYA SINGH CHAUHAN, my soon to-be husband.

Aditya ji and I met in my school when he came to drop his younger sister. We didn't talked much but he asked about his sister's approach towards the subject. After that day we met few more times but as a teacher and a guardian. After few weeks, baba sa approached me with a proposal and told me about the boy and his family.

As soon as I saw his photo and his details, I couldn't shake the feeling of discomfort. He never gave signs of a creep but it was too sudden for me, later his sister said that she asked her bhaisa for this alliance.

Aditya ji is a decent man with good physical appearance. He is well mannered and he is a gentleman, he is well educated and has inherited his father's company. But I couldn't help comparing him with Aarman Suryavanshi

For past few months, Aditya ji was in Boston due to some business emergency and returned two days ago. Now his family is persistent to get us married as soon as possible.

I moved closer to everyone along with bhabhi sa but I could still feel HIS heated gaze on me. It made me feel like he was drowning me in the pool of his tears. I sneaked a glance at him one last time and sucked a breath, he never looked this broken or vulnerable as he was right now.

" Aao beta Ruhi, hum sab kabse tumhara hi intzaar kar rahe the." Aditya ji maa sa said as I approached her to touch her feet.
( Come Ruhi my child, we were waiting for you for so long)

" Dhok dete hai aunty ji"

" Dhok dete hai uncle ji"
( Greetings)( Touching their feet)

I wished both his parents and stepped back. I was standing a little away from everyone beside my bhabhi sa.

" Ab hume Ruhi aur Aditya ki shaadi mein deri nhi karni chahiye Sisodiya ji. Jitni jaldi ho jaye, utni jaldi hum apni bahu ko apne saath le jayenge" his mother said while shifting her gaze from Aditya ji to me.
( We shouldn't delay Ruhi and Aditya's wedding now Sisodiya ji. We just want to take our daughter-in-law along with us as soon as possible)

I kept on stealing glancing at Aarman- how his hands were fisted, how his jaw gets clenched and how his eyes were blank.........I just wanted him to feel the pain of separation.

I wanted to enjoy his sufferings but I didn't even liked the ounce of pain he was going through

I came out of my thoughts when I felt bhabhi sa shaking my arms-" Ruhi! Ruhi! Kaha kho gayin tum, maa sa kabse tumhe bula rahin hai"
( Ruhi! Ruhi! Where are you lost, maa sa has been calling you for so long)

" J......ji...ji maa sa"

" Mai ye keh rahi thi ki jaa kar chai le aana sabke liye" my maa sa said. I know by now it must be ready along with snacks
( I was saying that go and bring tea for everyone)

I looked around and saw that Bhai sa and Aditya ji were missing but what made me frown was HIS absence.

I was heading towards kitchen when I felt a hand around my waist as someone pulled me towards the store room. A rough hand was on my mouth to prevent me from screaming.

I was terrified but as my eyes settled on the midnight Black eyes, I released a breath I was holding for so long. Looking at my relaxed state HE removed his palm from my mouth

" What the hell MAAN!!! Are you out of your mind? What if someone saw us like this" I said as I looked around the store room as it was close to the kitchen.

When I didn't get any reaction from him, I again looked at his face through my veil. But then stopped when I saw a lone tear escaped out of his left eye and a pleasant smile playing on his lips.

" Wha....what?" I said trying to act unbothered

" After so long you've called me YOUR MAAN"

F*ck! What have I done

I composed myself and again tried to looked nonchalant-" so what, it came out as a reflex. Don't run horses. Now move my in-laws are waiting for me and Bhai sa must be back with Aditya ji" I tried to push him out of my way

" Correction meri jaan, they are your would-be in-laws and he is not your husband yet but who knows if they'll even end up being your family or not" he said as he wrapped his muscular arms around my waist.

Let me tell you, that I am 5'2 and this man standing infront of me is solid 6'1 with strong muscles. I am nothing infront of his physical strength.

" What if I said that you'll end up as my wife and mother of my baby......what do you think Rooh" on this statement I felt rage running in my veins. I raised my hand to slap him square on his handsome face but he held my hand and next second I felt his lips crashing on mine

HE WASN'T KISSING ME BUT SMOOCHING ME
