Roshni

I never cooked without my mother and bhabhi beside me. I was always confused of how much salt and spice I need to add in the food and most of everything ma never really asked me to learn how to cook. She always asked me to concentrate on my studies. After mumma left me in the kitchen to cook I called bhabhi immediately.

"How are you Roshni", I heard her voice from other side.

"Bhabhi I need to cook food and I don't know what to cook? I would mess up badly I am telling you", I told her.

"Calm down. You cook delicious food Roshni just believe in yourself", She said.

"I am confused in the amount of ingredients I should take", I told her as she asked me the number of members than started telling me the amount of every ingredient I need. I started preparing food listening to what she was saying. After an hour of hard work I was done.

"Bhabhi I don't think it is good", I told her.

"Send me the picture", she asked as I send her the pictures of the food prepared by me.

"It looks delicious Roshni Stop getting nervous", She told me.

"What if I ended up dropping this dal makhani on Anav ji's head", I asked in nervousness but than realize isi layak h vo(He deserves this only)

"Stop thinking too much bye. Saachi is going to wake up any moment any now", She said as she cut the call.

I looked at the food prepared by me. I want to eat kheer but first need to serve to everyone. 

I served everyone food waiting patiently for their reaction. 

"It's delicious bhabhi", Aadya said smiling brightly at me. I gave her a small smile trying to assure myself I did make something edible. 

"Roshni", Mumma called me as I stood beside her. She gave me a diamond bracelet. I looked at Anav Ji he was too busy having his food. Should I take it or not?

"What are you thinking? Take it", She said as she made me wear it. I didn't even got enough time to say no. Now this stupid man will again call me a gold digger. Let him go to hell. I can't disrespect mumma for him. She is so sweet. I took papa and hers blessings. Dada-Dadi gave me  a necklace. Beautiful as well. I touched their feet to take their blessings. Some people are their in this house who don't hate me. After everyone I had food with bhabhi.

It was really nice. I did a good job preparing it myself.

After it I went to my room to ask Mr. Rude when will we go home. But he was no where to be found. I thought for a second before knocking his office door. After hearing a small come in I went inside and kept the necklace and bracelet on his table. He raised his eyebrows at me.

"I am not habitual of keeping so valuable things. I can't take the risk. So you can keep these things wherever you want. I am not that much responsible to take care of these things", I told him.

"Keep it in the locker", He said.

"Keep it yourself. I will ask for it when I need though I don't like to wear much jewelry. And when are we leaving for pagphera", I asked him.

"Won't you ask for your gift from me", He asked. I gave him a blank look before leaving the room. If yesterday's incident won't have happened I would have but now I won't ever ask anything from him. I started checking my friend's WhatsApp status with her boyfriend. They were hugging each other. And here I am married having one hand distance from my husband. 

But my fate is this only. What can I do? Why you did this with me kanha. I wasn't a bad girl ever than why you punished with such an idiot husband. I thought he looks cute and handsome at the same time so may be he would be good at heart as well. But he is a complete donkey. I hate him though I love him as well. But he is not at all good with me.

I came out of my thoughts when I felt something on the bed. I looked at it to find five chocolates on it. I smiled at it picking them up but than found Anav Ji observing me.

"Chocolates are excepted. But I have not forgiven you", I told him.

"I never ask for forgiveness. I never say sorry to anyone", He said combing his hair with his fingers stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At last pagphera ritual was completed with me spending five hours with my family but than Anav Ji had some work to complete so I have to return early. Can't he do his work some other. I glared at him as he was driving.

"I am yours only Roshni. Staring is rude. People will think you can't control yourself because of your handsome husband", He said as I gritted my teeth clenching my fist. But I didn't forgot to bring my night suit this time. This man is really dangerous can attack me any time. I looked at him and huffed looking other way. Idiot for a husband.

"What the hell is this?", I shouted to find more revealing night dresses in my bag. Where are the clothes I packed. Oh god I remember packed them where the hell they are.

"Searching for something wifey", I heard Anav Ji as I turned towards him. He was leaning on the closets door smirking evilly. Why is smirking? I don't know and I don't even want to know. What I will wear now. The one I wore yesterday was better than these. At least was covering my whole body. I think I really forgot them at home. But I remember I kept them. I am forgetting things at such a young age what will happen in old age. I shook my head picking up a dark blue dress and changed into it after taking a bath.

I seriously need to buy nice clothes. I tied the knot of the dress tightly. It is so irritating.

"My my somebody is looking hot", He commented he said as I came out of the bathroom while combing my hair having my furry slippers.

"Don't talk to me. It is so uncomfortable", I told him trying to pull the dress a little down.

"You look hot and innocent at the same time", He said pulling me towards him by my waist.

"I am very tired Anav Ji and think it to be a punishment for what you did yesterday", I said trying to come out of his grip.

"By the way are you going to join your college again", He asked as I settled on the bed after checking all WhatsApp messages which were mostly from my cousins. 

"Of course shouldn't I", I asked him giving him my all attention covering my body with the comforter.

"Of course you should. By the way I needed to inform you that I have to go to Singapore for a business meeting", He told me as I looked at him with fear.

"So I have to live here alone", I asked him as he nodded.

"Anav ji can I go to my parent's house", I asked him as he shook his head.

"It won't look good. We just got married and you going to your parent's house this early won't be right", He said. I couldn't say anything anymore so I just nodded.

He left the very next day. I was unable to tell him I can't sleep alone. I feel scared of sleeping in darkness.

I somehow was able to get sleep for 4 days but than Bhabhi asked me to accompany her to watch The Nun. Damn It. I used to sleep holding Krishna locket around my neck every night but today it was not working as well. I started chanting hanuman chalisa feeling tears forming in my eyes.

"Ma Please come it's really difficult to handle myself anymore", I whispered holding the locket. I felt myself shivering. I switched on the lights so it could be better. But it wasn't working as well I hugged myself trying to control the sobs when suddenly it was all dark. I guess light went out. Oh god please help me. I started sobbing loudly holding my knees near my chest as I sat down on the bed.

I heard the door opening and I started sobbing more loudly. 

"Ma!!", I cried. I felt arms wrapping around me as I cried struggling in the grip.

"Shhh!! It's me. Calm down", I heard Anav Ji's voice as I cried harder hugging him tightly.

"Were you scared? Did you saw any horror dream", He said as I shook my head sobbing on his chest. He made me lie down on the bed taking me in his arms caressing my hair kissing my forehead trying to calm me down and it was working a bit.

He stood up but I hold his wrist not wanting him to leave.

"I am just going to change and than come back in a second", He said patting my head. After a minute or so he was back pulling me in his arms again. I was still crying and shivering because of fear. 

"Anav ji don't leave again please. I was scared", I stuttered. My voice was harsh for my own ear because of so much crying.

"Sleep. We will talk in the morning", He said caressing my back. I turned looking at the other side as that was how I was familiar of sleeping. He wrapped his arms around my tummy and pulled me towards him. Kissing my neck which right now was the most relieving thing. I sighed as he wiped my tears. I fall asleep with his warmth surrounding me. I felt at peace knowing he was beside me.

The next day I woke up to find him no where near to me. I sat back leaning on the bed rest thinking about yesterday's incident. I heard a click like sound and he came out of his office. He looked at me before checking the temperature of my forehead. He sighed before going out and came out with a hot cup of milk.

I looked at him with raised eyebrows.

"It will help in calming your nerves", He said. I shook my head at it.

"I don't have anything before taking a bath", I told him.

"You are only having milk. Now don't make me angry and have it silently", He said as I nodded before having it still thinking about yesterday's incident. He stood up with the cup when I hold his wrist.

"Thank you Anav Ji. I don't know what would have happened if you wouldn't have come on time", I told him.

"From next time if I have to leave for something important. Ask Aadya to sleep with you", He said as I nodded.

He asked me to get ready for college because it was enough holidays for our wedding. I nodded changing in a suit this time. I can't go in a saree to college.

He dropped me and Aadya to college and we went inside. We had different classes so part our ways. As I walking to my class I saw one of my biggest enemy in college. One of the few people I hate in this world. Anusha Mishra, daughter of a big industralist.

"Guys we have Roshni here who finally showed her real colors", I looked at her with confusion.

"What did you do to seduce him that he rejected my wedding proposal and marry you", She said holding my wrist in a tight grip. I looked at her hand which were holding mine. I raised my eyebrows at her. Can I have more better morning than this. I smirked before pulling my hands out of her hold at a fast speed before holding her wrist behind her back in a tight grip making her wince.

"Don't you dare touch me", I whispered dangerously in her ear pushing her away from me.

"You bitch", She shouted turning to me about to attack me but I was more than prepared before she could reach me I was pulled in strong arms.

"If you care about your father's company and yourself a little bit than stay away from my wife", I heard his voice. I can fight for myself. He don't have to do this. Over Protective husband.
