RUHI POV

" Ruhi sun beta, aaj Aditya ji aayenge tujhe lene. Shaadi ka saman lene ke liye unke saath chale jana" my maa sa informed me when I entered the kitchen to check on breakfast. Bhabhi sa was giving me teasing smiles but I don't why it wasn't making me feel calm about this alliance.
( Ruhi my child, today Aditya ji would be coming to pick you. You have to go with him for some shopping)

It is true that I don't love Aditya ji, lekin shaadi karne ke liye pyaar ki zarurat toh nhi hoti

I smiled at my thoughts and started carrying out the task in hand. We heard some commotion coming from the lounge area and I guess that Aditya ji is here.

Later, everyone settled down at the dining table for breakfast and what bothered me was witnessing Aditya ji sitting in place of Aarman.

It shouldn't have bothered me, right?

" Dhanraj, Hukum kaha hai. Aaye nhi?" Bhai sa was asked as everyone was present except Aarman.
( Dhanraj, where is Hukum. He hasn't arrived yet)

" Baba sa hum subha gaye the unke kamre mein unse kuch zarurat baat karne ke liye lekin woh apne kamre mein nhi hai. Unhe kal raat bahar jaate hue dekha tha lekin woh abhi tak wapas aaye nhi"
( Baba sa I went to his room this morning to discuss something very important but he wasn't in his room)

WHAT THE HELL!!!

Later, everyone settled in the lounge area when Aarman walked in looking tired and emotionless. His eyes were swollen, but what caught my eyes was a red lipstick mark on his shirt collar.

My blood boiled thinking about all the possibilities of last night events

He wished baba sa and maa sa and greeted Aditya ji along with my Bhai sa. Thankfully no one was that mark as he rushed towards his room without wasting another second.

I sneaked out behind him, not wanting to catch anyone's attention. As soon as I stepped inside his room discretely making sure that no one noticed my deed, I saw him standing with his bare back facing me and him unbottoning his black trousers.

Oh dear God! He must be hitting the gym too much lately

" What do you want Ruhi? You shouldn't have been here, what if someone saw you entering inside my room like that and don't forget that your would-be husband is downstairs right now" he said looking at me over his shoulder. I couldn't control my anger as I matched towards him ignoring the angry chimming of my anklets. I turned him around and made him face me, he didn't look at my face but his gaze was fixed in the ground.

" Kiske saath the kal raat Maan? Boliye" I was fuming and didn't even cared what came out of my mouth. His head snapped towards me and his eyes was looking into my eyes with some unknown emotion.
( With whom were you last night maan? Tell me)

" Ab bologe bhi ya aise hi bhoot ban kar khade rahoge?" I added but I couldn't miss the frown maring on his forehead. His eyebrows creased
( Are you just going to stare at me like that?)

Why is he giving me such looks?

" Kya matlab hai aapka, Hukum? Aur aapko Aisa kyun laga ki kal raat mein kisi ladki ke sath tha. Manta hun ki aapse pehle I had few flings but what I felt with you was different and more intense........an....and when you left my office, I knew at that very moment that I've lost my soul" he said with his voice cracking by the end
( What do you mean, Hukum? And why do you think that I was with someone last night. I agree that before you I've had some flings)

" If you didn't had s*x last night with one of your flings( note the sarcasm) then from where did that red lipstick mark landed on your shirt collar.....tell me?" His eyes grew wider as his brain registered the weight of my words. He quickly picked up his discarded shirt from the bed and started inspecting it for that very lipstick mark.

As soon as he saw that mark something striked him. He rubbed his palm on his tired face as he settled down on the bed with a bang. He pulled back and looked back at me but something didn't feel right at that moment. It wasn't that difficult to see through my veil.

" Look Ruhi, I....I will tell yo......" He started but was interrupted by my someone's approaching steps. I hurriedly hid behind the door and Aarman stood up still with a shirt.

" Hukum, ah.....aapse milne koi aaya hai bahar" I heard my Bhai sa's voice. Aarman looked at me discretely and nodded at my brother. He stepped towards his wardrobe and pulled a tshirt and rushed out of his room, I followed his suits.
( Hukum, someone has come to see you)







I saw all of my family members along with Aditya ji were standing infront of lounge area and looking at someone standing at the door. First I looked at bhabhi sa and then moved forward. The person standing infront was the last one in my mind.

Shock would be an understatement at this moment. I was angry...no, scratch that I am furious right now.

I looked at Aarman and then at the person standing staring at him.

What the f*ck!!!!

" Tum!! Tum yaha kya kar rahi ho?" Aarman's loud voice echoed in the walls of huge hawali.
( You!!! What are you doing here?)

" Wo...woh hu.. Hukum, aap...aap ye kal humare kam...kamre mein cho....chor aaye the. Hum...Hume laga ki bahat ki...kimati hai to...toh hum Dene chale aaye" SHE said.
( Hukum, you left this in my room last night. I assumed that it might be something precious, so I came here to return it back to you)

What room and did he spend his last night with her? I felt a sudden urge to puke as disgust washed all over my body.  Aarman looked at me for a second and I could clearly see distress in his eyes.

" Tum kon ho?" My baba sa voiced out the question going through everyone's mind.
( Who are you?)

" Hum...humara naam Manisha hai. Hum motimahal se aaye hai" the girl seem timid and took young. But as soon as she said the place from where she belonged my doubt in her appearances was clear. She was wearing a very bright colour lehenga choli and make over was bit bold but her eyes screamed innocence.
( My name is Manisha and I've come from moti Mahal)

She took Aarman's hand and kept whatever he left behind last night in his hand and rushed out of the hawali gates but not before hiding her face properly with a scarf.

I couldn't brush off the burning in my chest so I held Aditya ji's hand and pulled him out along with me. I can't think straight right now, the feeling of betrayal and hatred was too intense.





But why does that painful look in his eyes say the otherwise
