Getting married was on her list of things to happen, but not as fast as it did. She was marrying a complete stranger.
To him it was obvious she didn't want to be married as soon as she was. He didn't even have a choice in the matter.
Join the jou...
Today was the day of the birthday party. I went to my room to find it, finally unlocked. I got my clothes and went to get ready for the day, after doing my morning routine.
I saw her eating alone, with her back to me.
"We have a party to go. We will act like husband and wife there," I said and left grabbing some fruit for breakfast.
---Kanika's POV---
A party? Why didn't I know about this? I went to work, and took my outfit out before going.
Act like husband and wife. Trust me, I'm sure one of us has been acting the whole time and it's not me.
Work was done earlier than usual, and I left to home. He was already ready to go and I quickly got ready.
"Remember what I said and don't be clingy. You can have your space and I'll have mine," he said as we parked the car.
I loved how the place looked.
"Oh, I forgot. It's a western party," he said looking at my outfit.

I automatically felt out of place. I didn't have many western options to choose from, because I was told after marriage mostly attend traditional parties.
"Hey-hey. You made it," a guy said to him.
He turned to me.
"You must be his wife. Please come in," he said and we followed.
People gave me weird looks and I just wanted to disappear.
He introduced me to his wife and we started talking.
"Are you okay?" She asked.
"I'm just uncomfortable with the looks I've been getting," I said. "My husband forgot to mention it wasn't a traditional party."
"That's okay," she said
Both of us clicked and started talking to each other. Time flew by and I wanted to see, if Asif was ready to go to his house.
---Asif's POV---
God, I have the most embarrassing wife. She didn't even ask my friends wife for a dress or anything. People were asking me why is she dressed like that.
I left for a bit and came back in.
"Asif," I heard someone say.
I turned to see my ex-girlfriend. We had broken up several years ago.
"Hey, how are you? I heard your married now. Congratulations," she said.
Why does she sound drunk? Oh, because she is.
"I don't see her though. She uglier than me?" She asked.
Shut her off! She's going in non-stop.
Next thing, I knew she was hugging me.
"Okay. You are drunk and I'm going to need you to let go of me," I said.
"Hug me back!" She yelled at me.
"No!" I said.
"Do it or I won't let go," she said.
I hugged her and saw Kanika coming our way. I noticed her look at us and pretended to be enjoying the hug.
"Kiss me," she said.
"Are you out of your mind? I'm married!" I said.
"Just kiss me," she said and before I could stop her we were kissing.
I looked and saw Kanika turn and run away. Well, at least she saw that.
"You are so stupid!" I yelled at her and left.
---Kanika's POV--
My husband hugging and kissing another girl is exactly what I needed to see. I hate my life!
I got an Uber and went to a friend's house. I told her everything that happen.
"Dressed like that, he was bound to cheat on you. Wear something sexy," she said.
"I will not!" I replied. "It shouldn't matter how I dress. He cheated on me!"
"Well, I mean have you ever kissed him?" She asked.
I shook my head.
"We haven't even held hands yet," I said and she burst out laughing.
"Your married! Show him that your his wife. Grow up and you take his hand. Don't wait for him to take charge. You kiss him, if he doesn't. Remind him that you are the one that he's legally married to," she said.
Kiss him! Hell no! I'm not doing that!
---Asif's POV---
"Have you seen my wife?" I asked the 20th person.
"Ya, she left in an Uber," she said.
Okay, she probably went home. I thanked the person and drove home.
I went to our room and she wasn't there. I looked everywhere and she wasn't there.
Where did she take an Uber to then?
I got mad looking at the time and she still didn't show up. I called her.
"Hello," she said.
"Did I bother you?" I asked.
"No. I was just sleeping," she said.
"With?" I asked.
I was literally so mad right now that I didn't even filter what I said.
"Excuse me! I'm not like you. I didn't cheat on you!" She yelled.
I was going to tell her to not yell at me.
"That's probably just a family problem you all have. You can't trust me& your mother can't trust me. I'm sure your dad doesn't want anything to do with her either and that's why he spends it away from his wife!" She yelled in frustration.
No! Hell no! You are not brining my family into this.
"Maybe your mother is jealous that we had a relationship like one that she's never going to experience," she went on.
"You think I'm cheating. I think your b*tch of a mother cheated on your dad!" She yelled again in anger.
"ENOUGH!" I yelled at her.
"Why? Why is that enough? I'm your wife and you think you can talk to me like that. Your mom is also someone's wife," she said.
"Kanika, shut up right now!" I yelled at her.
"You should get your DNA tested. Who knows who your mother, also someone's wife, is sleeping with!" She yelled and cut the phone.
I was beyond angry right now! I would have killed her if she was in front of me.
I sat on the bed and slowed down my heart rate.
"Asif," Mom said walking in. "Are you okay?"
I simply nodded. I took a deep breath.
"I said something to my wife that I should have not said," I told her.
"It's okay. Go to sleep. She will be here tomorrow and you can talk it out," she said.
I nodded and went to bed.
---Kanika's POV---
I cried so much after we hung up. How can he say that to me?
I'm not going tomorrow. He doesn't care about me. Tell him to live with his mom, because I'm going house hunting.
