A lone tear escape from ridhima's eyes as she touches the mangalsutra in her shaking hands. She can't believe she's married now. She slowly look up at her husband who was watching her keenly. She gulped and wetted her red painted lips. His eyes slowly moved to her lips, before she could react he composed himself and look front where their families are standing.
Did I just see the desire in his eyes.... Ridhima's eyes widened.
No ridhima, you must have dreamed it. He looks like a model walk out of a magazine. And you... Forget it... She murmured under her breath.
" Now you can take the blessings of elders " the pandit said and blessed the New couple.
Arjun and ridhima stood up from the Mandap and Walk towards Arjun's siblings. He hugged his brothers and they congratulated him.
Congrats... bhabhi...
Ridhima's shocked hearing her bhabhi wishing her. Ridhima smiled politely and murmured thanks.
Arjun booked at his mother once before turning his face. His siblings exchanged knowing look while ridhima looks at him confusingly,
" Shall we" ridhima melted like an ice hearing his husky voice. Unable to find her voice she nodded before walking to her mom and sister.
Ridhima look at them but didn't try to take their blessings,
" Where is your manners" Samantha hissed but surprisingly ridhima didn't shed tears like before instead she look straight at her mom's eyes,
" This is what you taught me. " For the first time ridhi and Samantha stood shocked hearing her reply. Arjun watched the scene but didn't take a step to interfer it.
For the first time ridhima Loved the word marriage. The man stood near her giving her strength. It doesn't matter she's forced in this relationship, it doesn't matter even if he don't give her Rights on him. For the first time a man other than her dad didn't down her. Didn't feel disgusted. With a pride smile she walk with him. Her mother and sister fumed seeing ridhima insult them.
Ridhima once again look around to get a glimpse of her brother. She sighs when she couldn't find him , she knew her brother doesn't love her just like her Mom and sister but she did not expect him to skip her marriage.may be he didn't like the fact that samatha forced his wife and her family for her marriage.
A guard in black dress Walk to them and informed them to take the backdoor as media people are waiting for them in the entrance. Ridhima including her family and Arjun family frowned hearing media waiting for them. Since he wasn't close to his family no one knows what he is doing and ridhima's family never bothered asking him what he's doing for living.
Arjun nodded and Walk to the backdoor with ridhima and a few guards followed Them.
Ridhima's breath struck seeing black Benz in the back yard of her house. She doesn't have an idea about the model of the car but she's sure it cost fortune. Now she's sure her husband is not a middle class Guy as her family imagined. She wanted to ask what he's doing but she's not sure how he will take it.
With a sigh ridhima tried to open the door of the car before she opens the door a hand opened door for her. She looked up seeing her husband standing near her. She mumbled a thanks before getting into the car.
She wanted to ask about her things, before she asks one of guard said
" All your bags are in the car ma'am.'
" She gulped and nodded. For the first time she got so much respect and all because of the Man beside her.
Ridhima noticed two cars following them,
" They are 'our' guards " Arjun said. She nodded and observed the way they are travelling, she went to her bhabhi's house for their marriage and she knew for sure he's driving opposite to her bhabhi's house. She wait for a few minutes for him to say where they are going, when he didn't say anything.
" This.. this is not the way to your house"
" Hmmm..." He hummed and continue driving. She sighs and make her comfortable.
After an hour she wakes up and found them still in the car, driving.
' five minutes more' he said, she nodded and mentally kicked herself for sleeping.
Her breath hitched seeing the bungalow , as soon as her husband stopped the car. One of the guard run to them to open the door of the car.
" Come" he said walking to her inside the bungalow.
"You don't stay with them?" She asked what's nagging her.
" This is my penthouse, I stay here when I come to the city" he answered.
" Wow" ridhima muttered seeing the breathtaking view of the bungalow.
" Why don't you get changed, your bags are in your room. Second room from left. I have a few things to do, I'll be in study room. If you want anything please call me " saying he walk to study room.
Ridhima walks to her room or maybe their room as she saw his shirts hanging in the closet. She opened the door of balcony and a smile curved on her lips seeing the pleasant view.
After a few minutes and changed into a simple white suit.
A man in fifties came with her food she thanked him and had dinner.
Even though Arjun is still busy in the study room he took care of ridhima. With a smile she went to sleep. She's sure her husband will take care of her and she's going to be happy in this relationship.
