Guilted into Marriage [Completed]

Chapter 5 : Decision Not Thought Through

"Marry me"
"Okay"

I didn't think much I just yes immediately. If that's what she wants then that's what I'm going to give her. I didn't think of the consequences. I didn't worry what the future would look like. I did want to back out of the wedding at times but my gut told me that if I kept my word for her it would get better. All I wanted was to lessen the guilt that was weighing me down from inside. I felt bit relieved that she spoke to me. She talked about what she wanted. That was more than enough for me.

We got married in the courthouse. We didn't inform our families or friends. When we informed about our marriage at work, most people doubted whether it was for green card. Some of my friends even adviced me that Green card wedding was too risky. I tried explaining them it wasn't that, but it wasn't very convincing. Most people didn't even know that we knew each other. She was not doing a convincing job acting as my loving wife. I don't blame her. Even I was uncomfortable around her.

I informed my family that I got married. They couldn't believe that would do something responsible like this. And they also got mad at me for not inviting them. If it were a normal wedding, it would have been a huge celebration for days. I have a lot of relatives. Probably she was missing a grand wedding too. I heard that Indian wedding ceremony lasts several days. My plan was to act like a good husband and earn her forgiveness. I don't care about the future. This marriage may or may not work out but all I wanted was to pay for the sin I committed.

She moved into my house. I had a spare room. She didn't talk to me much. All she uttered were one word answers that too like a robot. I guess even robots are better in expressions. It would take a while to reach normalcy but I was not going to lose my patience.

One day I made her breakfast bacon and eggs.
"I don't eat meat"
"What?"
"I'm a vegetarian"
"Really?"
"I told you that already the last time we went for dinner. Do you always shut your ears when you are with me?"
"I'm sorry. Must have slipped my mind. I really like bacon so I made for you as well. Do you eat eggs?"
"No"
"Why not? Eggs are innocent"
"Exactly. I don't eat any living things"

First she thinks I'm a sick pervert. Now she thinks that I'm a monster feeding on living things.

"Plants are also living things" I said coyly
She starred at me with anger

"You don't have to do anything for me. I'm good by myself."

OMG! What kind of sick plan is this? Why won't she talk to me? Why did she want to marry me? When will my sadness end? Dear God! If you exist please save me from her.
