Twisted Destiny

Chapter 6

(Bahut demand ke baad finally chapter is here!)

Now the groom was called, she came and sat beside me...Wait...why is my inner soul saying something is wrong...nahi it might be due to stress and tension.

Now the rituals started...

Why? Why is my heart racing with anxiety? What is wrong here.. everything seems perfect..

(After all rituals, the final rituals)

Priest: abhi var vadhu ki maang bhare..

As now one of the bridesmaids came and lifted her chunri..my eyes widened, my heart stopped...what am I even seeing.!?

I am being married to someone else. I looked at my parents..they signed me to stay quiet. What the fuck is even happening, and why don't I know it earlier.!?

As I looked at her, even she seemed depressed her corner of eyes red hinting that she had cried..

What's even going on, then my mother signed me to apply vermilion to her.
But...

I applied the vermilion on her.

Then make her wear the mangalsutra and sometimes later the marriage is done .

I still can't process it, first I was marrying someone who isn't my choice, and now I was married to a random girl!?

Is this what I wanted!? Not at all.

(At the makeup room after all guests went, both sides of parents and important members)

Me:(sighs) NOW CAN U ALL TELL ME WHAT EVEN HAPPENED TODAY!?

A/d: Beta tu shaant hoja, hame tujhe batana tha par-

Me: par kya!? Kya par!? Mujhe bine bataye meri shaadi ek aise ladki se ki jisko mein aaj pehli baar dekh raha hu?!

A/m: beta pehle hame samjhane ka mauka toh de.

N/f: haa beta shaant hoja

Me:(to N/f) AAP TOH SHAANT HI RAHO, kidhar hai aapki ladki, badi baaten boli thi aapne toh, mushkil se ek ladki pasand aayi thi woh bhi bhag gayi

G/m: Abhyudaya atleast baat toh suno, phir joh bhi bolna hai bol Dena.

I glanced at my so-called 'Bride'. She was holding her forehead. She seemed stressed too

Me: bolo

(After they explained the whole thing to Abhyudaya)

Me: woh sab toh chhodo, par tum(to gautami), tum kyun maani shaadi ko?

Gautami: chara chhoda kya in logo me?!

Me: huh? Kya matlab?

Gautami: (chuckling bitterly) Matlab?! Aree saare ke saare insaan rupi rakshas hai, narak mein bhi jagah nahi milengi inhe!

Me: tum kehna kya chahti ho!?

Gautami: jaane dijiye.

Me: aree bat-

G/f: aree abhi jaane do, aadhi baate jhoot hongi iski.

She glared at G/f.

(Scene change: At Abhyudaya's house, in front of the entrance)

I was stopped at the entrance, as A/m brought a Kalash filled with rice.

She still is treating me as Laxmi!? When my own family treated me like trash after I came back!?

A/m: Chalo ab bahu, tum isse maarke tum andar aao.

I nodded and did as instructed.

Then I was asked to step in the bowl of vermilion water(Alta), and then walk on the white cloth, I did.

Then some more rituals and I was sent to the bedroom.

I am already scared. How will his nature be, how will he treat me? What if he turns out to be like Aadarsh? What if he is a drug addict?

Oh gosh my mind is overthinking too much.

As I was sitting and overthinking the hell out of my mind, the doorknob turned and opened revealing Him. The worst point is that I don't even know his name!?

My heart beat is rising seeing him. A layer of fear is getting on me.

He closed the door, then came near me.

Abhyudaya: well....mein tumhe kaise bulau?

Me: Gautami, Myself Gautami, and tum...

Abhyudaya: Abhyudaya. Abhyudaya Mohan.

I felt like I had heard this name before, but where?

Abhyudaya: jaake change karlo pehle, cause I am sure tum Raj gharane ki nahi ho joh ismein so sakogi

I nodded and went to the closet.

I came wearing a simple White tshirt and black pants, as to see him changed too.

Abhyudaya: abhi tumhare paas teen options hai

Me: huh?

Abhyudaya: pehla ki tum bed pe so mein couch pe sounga. Dusra tum couch pe so mein bed pe sounga. Teesra dono bed share kare.

Me: Dekho bed big enough hai do logon ke liye, so mujhe koi problem nahi hai share karne ke liye, and if you want, boundary ke liye sheets ya pillow use karlo tum.

Abhyudaya: Ah...theek hai.

As we tried to make a boundary with a pillow, it didn't work as we didn't have enough pillows, sheets were just a waste, now we have to make a curtain boundary.

After many tries, we finally made it, now we have a perfect boundary of curtain,

As I lay on my side, so did Abhyudaya.

I think he is actually not that bad, but who knows, it's not even a day.
