Only Thing I want is LOVE

CHAPTER 5

RIYA PROV

After insulting me again, he went to bathroom to change. Tears were flowing from my eyes. I just hope this day gets over soon. I was going to take my bag, when the nob of the bathroom door turned and he came out in just towel. I panicked and turned my back towards him. I asked while stammering.

Me: Whhhaat aare yoou dooinng???? At least weeearrr a shshshsh....... (He interrupted me)

Kabir: Don't teach me what should I do and do not. I am old enough for that. Next time don't do that. (I nodded my head and he was about to go when I asked him again, but in low voice)

Me: Can I sleep on your bed for a while????? I know you have said to stay away from you but Bhabhi told that she will come to wake me up and get ready for evening. I can sleep on floor from night, but just for now. If bhabhi sees me on floor then??? (I lifted my head and saw him. He looked little unsure but confused or a face which say "I don't understand" like. I just hope he thinks little about my idea, otherwise everyone will come to know about us.)

KABIR PROV

I was shocked by her lines. She was asking my permission to sleep on my bed. I thought I will break her legs if she uses my bed without my permission, but this is strange, she is being nice to me. She is a good actress, but she is also right, if bhabhi come enters and she saw her sleeping on floor then my family will not leave. I kept all my thoughts aside.

Me: Ok, but only for now. At night you will sleep on floor. (She nodded her head like small kid and went inside washroom to change.)

I changed to my white shirt and track pants and laid down on my bed. In these hours, I was thinking about my decision and my father's thoughts. I didn't bother to notice that time but I am thinking about it now. I could remember her shocked face but that face also said "please believe me". But why would Piya run away from her marriage when she was so excited for the wedding. I remember how she took me for shopping and she matched our dresses according to the rituals. She was on high sprit. My thought broke when I heard the door knob turning and I saw Riya coming out of washroom. She was wearing a simple blue cotton chudidar and had tied her hair into a braid. She is very much opposite than Piya. Piya is very stylish, but Riya is very simple. I remembered when I saw her few hours ago in Piya's room she was wearing a simple red saree. It looked very old. I could not pin point but something was amiss. Riya's voice broke my thoughts.

Riya: This dress. (She handed me the Bridal lehenga which she was wearing. I took from her hand and again I was shocked. I know I had asked her to give me back but she didn't show any tantrum, any reasons to not giving back or any drama. I don't know, I am so confused I don't understand. I just want some rest. I need some sleep. I took the dress and kept it on my table for now. I will tell the servant to keep it later in my closet.)

RIYA PROV

I went inside his bathroom and saw it was as big as his room. It was beautiful. There was also that tub which Piya always used to take bath. There was a mirror where you can see yourself from tip to toe. I took my bag and removed my clothes and wore them. I was searching a place for my bag when I eyes fell on a set of cupboards kept. It was 6 or 7 cupboards. Even Piya doesn't wear so many clothes. I saw my bag and his cupboards again and again. A thought came in my head. "There is so much difference in us. I don't know how this marriage will work??? But I have to be strong. One day I will make him believe that I didn't tell Piya to run away." I wiped my tears, took that pink lehenga and went out. I opened the door and went near his bed and gave him that dress. I felt peace somewhere. Now I can take rest. I asked him permission from my eyes and he also said yes from his eyes.
