I ajar the door after a slight knock. The lips of my corners jump up, " Dad! " I scream in joy and hug him.
He chuckles and hugs me back, " Kidda? Mera put? " He asks. ( How are you, kiddo? )
" You surprise me, dad? " I giggle and look up at him. My dad is handsome and tall five-eleven. There is some grey in his hair and beard.
" I didn't come alone. " He moves aside.
" Mama Ji! " I exclaim. ( Uncle)
He embraces me and smiles broadly. He's five feet six inches tall, he's a fit man in his mid-forty. He's clean shaved.
I can't believe it. These two men haven't travelled out of Punjab before. For the sake of me, they board a plane, " Thank you for coming." I step back, happily
" Why wouldn't I come? "
" All are waiting. " Ruu says, interrupt

CHAPTER ONE I walked behind him in tow four times, holding the dupatta in my hands that binds us together, taking laavan. It signifies we've accepted each other as one soul in two bodies. I sign the marriage paper and forward my hand with the pen. His gaze holds mine before returning to the paper. He holds it with a smile and signs it. I'm his wife and he's my husband. I sigh inwardly and gulp hard. I never imagined this day in my life. Here I'm wearing a bridal dress, gazing at my husband. All come at the same time to congratulate us. Mostly, I don't know them. So, I plaster my best smile and mutter thank you. When he's busy talking to his brother. I use this opportunity to check him out. He is draped in a cream and golden threadwork sherwani teamed with the ivory shawl and golden safa with kalgi adornment
I breathe in relief when they've left us alone. I don't remember any of them, his mother introduced me to the new family's members. I did one thing that plastered a huge smile on my face. His girlfriend didn't come to bless him. But I wanted that to be. Alas! We didn't talk about it later. His room is on the second floor. I glance back. When there's no one to see us. I bend and take off my heels. I bend down to pick them up. " You look tired. " He says. Picking them up, I glance at him, " You're looking as you can go through it again. " I mock. " Listen! Harleen was my girlfriend. " He stops and whirls to look at me. I yawn and cover my mouth with my second hand, " I don't care. I'll not mind. You can date her. Right now, husband! I'm dead tired. I want warm water… a lot. I'm using the washroom first. " I say and pace
There are a lot more ceremonies. I'm still feeling that sleeping wasn't enough for me. I can sleep more. Navu knocked on the door in the morning. She was playing the role of messenger. She passed me the message of my mother-in-law, that she wants us in the hall for the rest of the marriage ceremonies. Arnav has bathed already. Draping my wet body in the white towel, I step out of the bathroom. My eyes widen when I hear his voice. I swivel and see his back at me. He's shirtless, his v-shaped body is tempting. I push the thoughts away. Without giving another thought, I take a step at the bathroom again. He shifts on his feet. I wander my gaze around. My eyes rest on the opened cupboard and his shirt and coat laying on one side of the mattress. In a hurry, I grab his shirt from the mattress. I rush at it and close the door. Hurriedly, I put on his shirt. My body goes numb and still whe
My mind is far away, although my feet are sure of a familiar route, the Grewal house. In less time, I've been familiar with this house. I was a guest here. I'm still walking in like a guest. Unbelievably, I got married in this house. I see my dad, standing with the troop of the men of this house. My dad smiles looking in my direction. I quicken my steps wearing a full smile. My dad embraces me, " How's my princess?" Dad asks with a smile. I couldn't ignore his worried look. "Perfect!" I gleefully say to him as I hug him back. "How was the cooking ceremony? What did you cook? " Ruu asks me with a smile. " Kheer. I found the recipe on Google. '' I laugh, pushing the tension away. " Does it taste bad? " Ruu asks as he takes me in a hug, plucking from dad's arms. " It
It has been three months. I didn't dare to step out of this property. It's London. I've built dreams to be in this country with someone else. My mother in law is a kind-hearted lady. She loves me, that makes life easy and happy. My father in law, his eyes remind me of my husband. We played carrom every night after the meal. In the beginning, I lost a lot of games. Now I'm getting a master of it. Last night, I won the game but my father in law was still smiling. He said with a smile that finally, I learnt to play it. I miss my husband. Sometimes, I cry at night when feelings become unbearable. Karan, he never let me miss my brother, Ruu. My friends stopped calling when I stopped to answer them. They didn't visit nor did I. But they sent me messages daily. I'm still upset with them. I'm still upset with my husband. I avoided carrying my phone with me. I can't show in front of mom and dad that I'm upset with their son and we don't talk. W
I'm feeling stuck in the dark. I dart my eyes around, in the hope to see a ray of light, " Arnav, " I try to speak his name. Then I see a figure walking toward me " Arnav, " My voice is so weak to my ears. I smile as he keeps striding toward me. My body begins to tremble in fear when I see his face. I stagger back at the realization. He's not Arnav, " Suhana, " He says in his lustful, crude voice. I wake up with a squeal. Two strong hands hold me by my shoulders. I scream again and push him away. " Sister in law, it's me, Karan." " Don't touch me! Don't touch me! " I shriek, pushing him away. Hot tears wheel down my cheeks. " Look at me, it's Karna. " He says again. I'm barely breathing. My arms are already in pain. I couldn't figh
The silence seems to echo through the room. I'm staring at my phone. Indeed, I'm stopping myself from going near it. I'm fearing, I'll end up calling my friends or my husband. That's not a good idea. These guilt feelings are going to torment me. I'm already ruining that I raised my hand on Sun. She wouldn't have thought that the second boy would say that to me. Geez! She didn't even know that. But that's not a concern. I'm praying for one thing. That I don't want him to find out about me. Dread boils up in my stomach, I don't wanna put myself in this kind of situation ever. These walls mark me safe. It affects my in-law that I'm a prisoner in my own room. I'm used to it, Thanks to my mother. I don't want God to give such a horrible mother to anyone on this earth. Strange! She has kept this horrible side of her only for me. I don't wanna imply anything about. I just don't wanna see her face ever. I inhale deeply for
I wake up when someone coos my name. I peel off my eyes, " Mom, " I draw myself up. Startled! " Good morning, we have a ceremony to attend. Get ready, Suhana. " She put a red plain lehenga with heavy golden embroidery on its hem and sheer dupatta also with heavy embroidery on the mattress. It's a beautiful dress. Don't forget I'm still newlywed. Though my husband is on the ship. I smile. " What ceremony, mom? " I ask in my sleepy tone. " Harleen is getting engaged." She caresses my cheek and leaves the room, " I'm waiting on the dining table. " She says while leaving. I don't know. Is her wedding real Or not? Or she's doing all this to make him jealous. I don't care. I'm certain, my husband is not going anywhere until he knows the dark truth of my life. " Okay, mom. '' I push myself on my
