CHAPTER 3
The next morning, Shaurya's head pounded, he opened his eyes and said rubbing his head,"Ahh………my head was going to burst. I think I should eat painkiller.”
He stopped seeing Prisha, who was lying next to him. Seeing her vermillion, he got confused. He closed his eyes and tried to remember what happened last night.
He opened his eyes and said with shock,”OMG, I got married to Prisha.”
He immediately came out of the bed, and walked inside the washroom. He was standing under a shower, he was trying to calm himself.
He cursed himself for drinking too much alcohol, ”How can I get married to her? She was a gold digger’s sister. Stupid Shaurya, how can you do this?”
He shrugged his thoughts and said,”No, this is not marriage. It was just a drunken mistake. I was drunk. There was no priest, it was fake. Everything was a lie.” He turned off the shower and wore a bathrobe.
Returning to the room,Shaurya saw Prisha who was crying hugging her knees. He angrily marched toward her, and shouted," This marriage was nothing. Don’t try to take advantage of this situation. Don’t think, like your sister, you will also become the daughter-in-law of Rawat
family.”
Seeing her silent, he lost his temper. He snatched a thread from her neck and threw it in the dustbin, then he held her hand and took her inside the washroom. He turned on the shower, and started wiping her vermillion. He was blabbering,”This marriage was fake. There was no priest. This marriage was fake.”
Despite his efforts to wash away the vermillion, Shaurya couldn't erase it. Frustration boiled within him ,"What’s this? Remove this yourself, I don’t want to see this thing in your hairline.”Saying this,he stormed out of the bathroom, leaving Prisha to sob uncontrollably.
As Prisha composed herself, she resolved not to let Shaurya's actions break her. Wiping away her tears, she removed the vermillion, affirming to herself, "He's right, this marriage means nothing. It was just a mistake, a big mistake."
As he left, she collapsed onto the floor. She started crying loudly, she couldn't comprehend how her life had taken such a drastic turn overnight. What had she done to deserve this? Why all this happenedto her?
After sometime, composing herself, she wiped her tears away.She can't be weak. Shestood up and removed the vermillion from her forehead. Gazing at her reflection in the mirror, she whispered, "He is right. It was just a mistake—a big one."
Room,
Shaurya was furiously using his mobile, still unable to believe that he had gotten married to Prisha in a drunken state. "I should be careful. These sisters are cunning. This girl trapped me, took advantage of my drunken state," he muttered angrily.
As the door creaked open, he glanced up to see Prisha emerging from the washroom.Suddenly, he felt a pang of guilt as he noticed her pale face and red, puffy eyes. However, the memory of Tina's betrayal quickly soured his mood. He closed his eyes, reminding himself, "Both sisters are the same. Don’t fall for their facade." With anger pulsing through him, he stormed out of the room.
On the other side, Tina came out of the washroom while rubbingher hair. She looked at her husband who was sleeping peacefully after their long tiring make-out. She slowly walks toward him with a playful smile on her face. She leaned toward him, took a strand of her wet hair and spring water on his face, due to which he opened his eyes with a jerk.
He looked at her with anger and pushed her, she landed on the floor because of his push. She was getting up while he looked at her in anger and said, "Are you mad, is this way to wake up someone. Don't you have brains ?"
She got surprised listening to his tone because it wasfirst time he was shouting at her since they met.
She composed herself, and walked near him and wrapped her arm around his neck, and said in a sexy voice: "I am sorry darling, I was just trying to wake you romantically."
She was going to capture his lips when he pushed her again and said angrily,"Stay away from me."
She got shocked listening to him, he continued,"You don't need to act like a lovey-dovey wife. Don't act as you love me so much. I know your real face,you are with me only for money. Just stay here silently and enjoy the luxury I am providing and don't use your pea size brain."
She gasped at his words, she asked while crying: "What happened Rakesh? Are you angry with me ? Did I do something wrong? Why are you behaving like this? We love each other." She asked with a hope,she was praying it was all joje and he was just playing prank.
He started laughing loudly and said: "Love? Have you seen your face, who can love a gold digger like you? I don't understand, what Shaurya had seen in you that he fell in love with you. Just because of his bad choice, I am stuck with you."
Tina was confused hearing him, she asked,"What are you talking? I don't understand anything ."
"You know, Shaurya and I are stepbrothers, and we hate each other. Since childhood, my only aim in life has been to destroy his happiness and his life. When he introduced you to dad with the intention of marriage, I saw how happy he was with you. That day, I decided to snatch his happiness - you - away from him. So, I started showing you fake love and charm, expecting you to fall into my trap. And you did. You left him and landed in my arms. It's been wonderful seeing him devastated and heartbroken, all thanks to you. So, it's simple: stay here for six months, let me enjoy watching Shaurya suffer, and then I'll divorce you. Don't worry, I'll give you lots of money after our divorce."
Listening to him, she fell to the ground in shock. He looked at her for a moment and then said, "Okay, stop your acting. Shaurya might fall for this emotional blackmail, but I'm not as foolish as him. You're heartbroken because you lost the opportunity to become Rawat's daughter-in-law, but you can enjoy the luxury and title for at least six months. However, after seeing your true colors, I don't trust you. I'll call my lawyer to prepare a contract so everything is clear between us. I'll inform you once the papers are ready." With that, he looked at her one last time before heading to the washroom, taking the towel with him.
