Being Mrs. Singhania

Aftermath Part B

Dipping his neck behind while seated at cricket academy waiting for others to join, Arjun let his thoughts wander to his a week old wife! Last few days had been tiresome with the wedding and having Arohi around.

He had never really imagined that a day would come when he will be someone's husband. His life/world has always been cricket. For him there is nothing beyond cricket. He was happily living his dreams but his Dad decided to throw a bouncer at him and forced him to marry her!

That girl has shown more grit than he had expected. He tried everything in his ability to make her say no to this alliance but she stood adamant on her decision. All for fame and money, the title of being his wife brought with it. She is behaving all innocent and unwilling but he is sure soon she will be flaunting and using his name. She has got him trapped in this situation.

He is used to living alone. He doesn't even like having servants around that's why he only has Dolly for all work. But she has to barge in his life despite all his warnings.

His phone rang bringing him out of his thoughts. It was her driver calling him. He hoped everything was fine and she hadn't created some problem.

"Hello"

"Arjun Sir. I need leave urgently. My son has slipped from stairs and I have to go hospital." The driver informed him in a frantic voice.

"Suraj calm down! Go home to your family"

"Arohi Mam's number is coming unreachable. I.."

"Don't worry about her. I will pick her from college"

"Thank you Sir" saying that he disconnected the call.

As he slipped mobile back in his pocket everyone else came wearing their gears.

"I thought we won't be seeing you for at least a month after wedding" Jai commented walking inside.

Arjun glared "it's been a week. Get over my wedding" he spoke as he wore his gloves.

"It's just been a week! By the way when are you inviting us over. We want to get to know our dear Bhabhi personally"

"Never" Arjun spoke throwing ball at him.

Jai laughed as he they both headed out in ground "Salil and Purvi are hosting dinner for you and Bhabhi. Purvi won't listen anything. You will have to come. Don't worry we won't do anything that will make Arohi Bhabhi divorce you" he joked whereas Arjun just sighed.

After a tiring session Arjun came outside the academy. Looking at weather he wondered if it was going to rain. He shrugged his shoulders and kept his duffle bag at back seat. By the team he reached his penthouse it had started raining heavily. Dropping his bag at kitchen counter he poured himself orange juice. Dolly was on leave but she had cooked dinner for them. He felt he was forgetting something but he couldn't recollect anything. Finishing juice he went to his room and changed his clothes. He laid on bed holding his mobile. It had been a week but everyone on his insta and Twitter was still talking about his wedding, making foolish assumptions on his honeymoon and swooning over his pics. Feeling bored after scrolling for few minutes he felt bored. He liked few pics of his friends and kept phone away. Just as he closed his eyes he remembered that he was supposed to pick Arohi today.

Damn! He cursed as he looked at time. Her college got over an hour ago. He picked his mobile to call her but he never ever bothered to save his number. He looked at weather outside which was terrible. Running fingers through his hair he picked the car keys and dashed outside.

He told watchman to inform him if she returns back. On his way he kept looking here and there to see her but no use. The main gate was closed when he reached her college. He looked around in hope to see her but all in vain. He was thinking of calling his mom to take her number just then watchman called him to inform that she was back.
