Chapter 4

"we have reached sir." Said the driver. He gets down the car and held his hand out for me. I looked at him confused but something in his eyes assured me. I don't know what happened to me but something in me told me to trust him so I took his hand and smiled at him. I got down the car and looked at the mansion in front of me.

It was huge and beautiful. I have came here before but today it was looking different. It was decorated with flowers and lights. We walked towards the entrance and his mother performed the aarti and welcomed us inside. "Welcome Bhabhi to your new home." Dipti ( Raunak's sister) said smiling. They took me towards the hall and we performed rest of the rituals their. During the rituals our eyes met sometimes but he didn't say anything or even smile. 

I am in his room now sitting on the bed. This room is very huge, decorated with flowers and scented candles. Suddenly the door open and he came in. I am feeling very nervous. I was never been alone in a room with any man other than my brother or father but from now onwards I have to share not just this room but also my life with him. 

He came closer to me and sit beside me leaving some gap between us. "Thanks Divya for what you did today." He said. "Divya I want to be honest with you.... I can give you anything that you want, I can be your friend, I can be the person you can rely on but I can't give you my heart. I can't love you... I still love Myra.... I know all this is happening because of her and I will not be able to forgive her ever but I can't deny the fact that I love her. I am telling you all this because you are a very nice girl and I don't want to hurt you. I don't want you to expect anything from me that I can't fullfil. I am sorry Divya..... I am really sorry" He said and I looked at him. His head was hanging low. He got up and went towards the couch and lie down closing his eyes. I don't know what to say I was feeling weird. It was the same feeling I felt whenever I saw him and Di close to each other. It was a mixture of anger, sadness and hurt.

Raunak's POV

I woke because of the hustle and bustle going around the house. I sat up straight. Last night's scenarios were planning in my head. How could I say those things to her I know she is hurt, I can see that on her face but this is for her own good. But why am I feeling this way? Why am I hurt seeing her cry?... Why? I don't know the answers to this. The sound of unlocking the door broke my chain of thoughts and I look towards the bathroom from where that sound came. Divya came out from there with a towel in her hand drying her hair. She was looking very pretty. This is the first time I see her in saree. With wet hair she was looking beautiful. I got mesmerized by her beauty. She is looking like a queen.... "Good morning." She said with a smile. "Huh... Uh.. Good morning." I said gaining my consciousness again.

She went in front of the dressing table and wear her jewelleries and lastly she wear her magalsutra and put a pinch of vermilion in the partition of her hair I was looking at her all this time when realization hit me. 

We are married now. I have to move on from my past, from Myra. I am married to Divya. She is my wife, my responsibility. I have to take care of her, I have to support her. She is my priority. I remember what my dad told me before this wedding and why I married her. I know I married her just to save our family's reputation in the society but I promise my parents, her family and my self that I will make her happy and I will fullfil my promise.
