VIII. Pledges and Curses


Seshi's POV:

"What?"

She doesn't like me?

Keep aside the precious Love which I obviously have for her...! She at least doesn't even like me?

This is the worst joke I ever heard in my life.

She flinched slightly with fear hearing my angry tone. She shivered at my tone and a drop of tear came from her eyes. A few more drops followed it and my heart clenched with pain seeing her crying.

Oh god! Why is she crying now?

Am I the reason for her tears?

How can she not like me....when I am dying here with my undeniable, neverending, long-lasting, explosive love for her.!!

No, no...Seshi..! Control yourself.

"It's okay... we have our whole life to make you fall for me. I'm not pressed for time. I will make you like me." I told her wiping her tears with confidence and commitment as if I am promising to myself that I WILL make her fall in love with me.

Her eyes are trying to say so many things to me but nothing came out of her mouth. I waited and waited hoping she would say something but she didn't.

Kissing her forehead and pulling a duvet on her, "Sleep, You need rest. I know you are tired from all the travelling and rituals" I said to her....She closed her eyes trying to sleep still caught my hand tightly as if I will go away from her If she leaves it.

"Don't worry Mytri, I will never leave you?" I told her in my low tone and she nodded her head sleepily.

I stared at the beautiful angel who closed her eyes tight trying to sleep. After few minutes, her breath got even and then I went to the fridge and took a beer bottle from it. I again came near to her and hold her hand gently with one hand just like I promised her to never leave her, while started gulping beer from the bottle...

Hope she doesn't have a problem with the beer because I really need it tonight with my broken heart.

I, in my lifetime, rejected n number of girls with different proposals...Naughty, decent, indecent, tempting, rich mergers, true love whatever the proposal or the love confession may be, I simply rejected it with arrogance...Because I don't love them...My heart is always with her...WITH MY MYTRI.

Many girls after my rejection, cursed me that I would understand their pain only if I was rejected by my lady love. I was so positive and arrogantly replied that day would never come.!

Now that the day came...I must admit Rejected by the one you love is so painful.

It was like my heart is broken into millions of pieces...and I have nothing with me, not even my broken heart because it's actually with her, still.

Oh God!! What the hell is happening to me?

Why is it so painful?

I though she loves me the way I LOVE HER so so much....She is my everything.

I love her. I love each and everything about her from years or ages.

I like the cutest thing I ever saw in my life.

From the day she came to this world, I never left Mytri alone, we play, we laugh, we cried, we ate and slept together.

I was her prince charming in Grandma stories. I like her smile, I like the litres of Rasna (a fruit flavoured drink) she brought for me to our hideouts...I like to buy Ice creams for her with my pocket money.

When we became a bit older, I started liking her bickering, her taunts and tantrums too. We always were together until my family moved to New York, when Dad started Grace inc., with his friends as partners. I wanted her to come with us. She packed her luggage too but mom and aunts told us she will come later, First I should go and check whether everything is fine for her here or not.

I felt so alone here, I made new friends here but nothing can be compared to us, me and Mytri. I checked everything here. The house, swimming pool, playground, school and the summer and fall here. Everything is good even if not good I will make it good for her. I went to mom and asked when we can bring her back here...She just sighed and said maybe after 10 or 15 years.

I felt so sad and thought of going back on my own. I collected my own pocket money and Sujith helped me too and When I have sufficient funds, I booked 3 tickets on my own. One for me to go and two for us to return back here.

I reached Pune on my own and went to aunt and uncle's house. Only Mytri was happy with my return, She laughed and cried out of happiness that's when I realised I LOVE HER. Everyone else scolded me but I still was happy to be able to see her again.

After realising my love for her, I thought she was too young to confess my feelings.

when I was 17, I came to India with my parents to wish her birthday but when Amit Uncle introduced me to his friends that I am like his son, I hated it that people may think me and Mytri as siblings. I was so upset and suddenly felt possessive about my love towards her and I kissed her on the first chance we were alone. She didn't complain but after awhile guilt overtook me. I then decided that I will confess my love to her only when she became old enough. It was a promise that I made to myself.

I studied so hard to fulfil my dream and I learned to hack too in the meanwhile. Finally, after Medicine and Internship, I decided it's time to woo her and make her love me...I know my uncle will not be happy with love marriage so I planned to complete last 6 months of my specialisation internship in India, in Pune to be with her...I thought of spending time with her , court her properly, express my feeling to her and to make her love me.

I am sure that mom and aunt would be happy for us. If Amit Uncle or dad had a problem with our love , I don't care....! If she says yes I am ready to elope and marry her and love her eternally.

Of course, before my plans came into action that traitor Shyam, reported my wallet to my mom and the rest is history. After reaching India, I found out from uncle that Mytri's life is still at risk because of Vikram. I panicked for the first time in my life. I don't want to lose her. So, instead of wooing and proposing to my Mytri, I kept my days busy with tracking that Vikram.

I thought of doing the job on my own but Sujith wants to help me...It was so difficult because we don't know who are Vikram's allies and helping him. He was in Jail for more than 14 years. We went to jail to check the people he is in regular contact and then I find out Aradhya, in fact, she found us.

Aradhya is Vikram's niece but their family cut all their ties with him after he murdered Mytri's aunt Ridhima, who was his wife then.

Aradhya came to India a month ago on her boyfriend Harsh's Great grandmom's 97th Birthday. Mytri met her in the mall and they had some fun together. But only when their friends tagged the photos in FB, then Aradhya realised Vikram's presence in one of her and Mytri's picture. She too got suspicious on Vikram's motives when she found out that he was released from jail but never came back to their home.

She wants to confront him and she joined me and Sujith in our investigation. With her and Harsh in the toe, things became easier. Harsh's father is defence minister and she influenced some higher officials to directly involve in the case. Every night she and Harsh came to the back garden of our guest house in their car and I and Sujith would follow them to one of Harsh's rock band clubs and planned things there. We don't want to involve Mytri, pyaar or shyam considering the danger involved in the mission.

I thanked both of them but they brushed it off saying Mytri is family saying Mytri helped a lot in their love story. I felt so proud of my girl.

Aradhya told me many funny things Mytri has done in high school and college. I then came to know my little angel is LOVE GURU in her college and she is college beauty and most eligible bachelorette, who never gave a DAMN ! to whoever proposed to her. I love her more now that she was waiting for me, the same way I waited for her.

Finally, we came to know about Vikram's where about a day prior to my marriage. Aradhya was not feeling well but she insisted upon coming as she said, if Vikram is at guilt she would be the one going to shoot him. She was expert in shooting so we didn't doubt her ability. It is one of Vikram's old apartment, we went there. I and Sujith hid as Aradhya wants to be alone when she confronts him and Harsh followed her. Suddenly, we felt someone on our back, It was none other than Mytri's dad and Prem Uncle. They didn't follow us but they came here on their own investigation.

"You are the only reason, why I hate love! You killed your wife brutally, we face the ire of the society. why are you back now?" Aradhya questioned him.

"I know I messed up everything, my business was at losses, I want money at any cost and I asked Ridhima to bring it from her brother or father. She refused so I started drinking and beating her but she still didn't change her decision. I don't know what to do then. Even your dad refused to give me money because he doesn't trust me and my business. I was blinded by angry. Sorry... sorry for whatever I did in my life" He cried and cried explaining his deeds.

I saw Amit Uncle crying too, remembering her sister.

"Then why? Why are you following Mytri, Amit Uncle's daughter that day in the mall?"

"No, I didn't"

"Don't lie to me! I will not think twice before killing you?" We heard she threatening him.

"No, I didn't. I don't even know how Amit's daughter looks like. I....I...followed you....I just want to see you after many years...When I heard you came back to India, I want to see you, my only niece, whom I raised like my daughter, when you were a kid, I know our family will never welcome me, so I followed you to the mall when you went to meet your friends. I didn't even know who among your friends that day Amit's daughter is" He confessed.

Hearing his confession Prem Uncle put his handgun in his pocket and Sujith, he remained blank after seeing the turn of the events.

We came back to our car, waiting for Aradhya and Harsh. She told us everything and cried in arms of Harsh and confessed he may be changed but he still a murderer of my aunt and she will not object if we still want to kill him.

"Enough is enough! Let him die out of his own guilt after killing my sister." Amit uncle said leaving us there.

"I will not stop keeping an eye on his every move, if he changes his decision, I will kill him on the same day!" Prem Uncle roared and followed Amit Uncle....We were back to ease until Aradhya fainted.

We took her to Harsh's house which is nearby. The Greatest gynaecologist Sujith, confirmed that Aradhya is pregnant. Things turned out so fast, Harsh was so happy and their family called Aradhya's mom too.

"I am so happy, I never thought that I would have the privilege of becoming Great - Great Grand Mother, You made my 97th Birthday so memorable for me" Harsh's Great Grand Mother praised sujith, who is just an informer.

"You Idiot, brute, Rascal!! If I am pregnant, you should tell it to me....not Harsh's Great Grandma, What I have to do now? You scoundrel, you were the worst doctor I ever met" Aradhya shouted on Sujith

Once everyone asked her to marry Harsh when they found out she is pregnant....Sujith always gives hearing ear to people, but only that day I came to know how patient is with his patients, who are mostly pregnant women. He didn't even reply but just heard whatever she said.

It was so funny hearing Aradhya scolding Sujith for every five to ten minutes...Imagine we were there for 2 hours in their house!

"You will find a good girl as a wife and suffer all the consequences of her goodness" She cursed Sujith.

"Darling, I think it's Illogical. What's suffering if he finds a good wife?" Harsh tried to reason her.

"Oh Harsh! You don't know handling a good girl is difficult. Bad girl is easy to handle where as good girl is difficult to take care off. She would be innocent, loving and cry easily and always right....and he will easily fall head over heels before he even know what he is doing.

Mark my words! Sujith Rana, I myself will search a good girl for you, you really deserve one!" She cursed Sujith. again

She even throw Sujith's phone into garbage and the iPhone 7 plus lost it's screen touch. Still, he sat quite and requested her that she should take rest for a while.

When she did not agree for sudden marriage and Harsh said that he would never force her...

Then Harsh Mom got the heart attack, which was a drama. I was amazed by her acting skills but forced to play my role as a doctor there.

I tried to convince them by saying that I am not a cardiologist...but they said they want a doctor for only acting and I fit their criteria....It was so late when we reached home, I even didn't have the luck to meet my bride before the wedding.

After everything....

Now, I hate myself that I didn't have a chance to woo my Mytri. I was so careless and took her for granted. She might have married me for the family. Is that why she is throwing tantrums on me for a day or two?

Oh, my poor devilish angel...I love you a lot and she suffered a lot because of me...My sweetheart, I will make up for her from now on. I swear I will use my every chance to make her fall in love with me.

If the sudden marriage is the reason of her Ire, like Aradhya, I will bare it. I will play along whatever game she plays and I promise, I would be a loyal playboy for her.

I will do every sweet thing in the world for her and let her rule my heart with her devilish smirks and pouty lips. I will slowly seduce her to love me and bind her to this marriage forever and ever. It won't be easy for me doing so...but I will do it!!

I will take my own time..and take things slowly and perfectly starting from tomorrow evening our wedding reception and our honeymoon.

Oh god! I think I have so much work to do....but I think I would love to do work on her...!

oops work for her.!

*******

Mytri's POV:


Hmmm... Why is this alarm ringing so loud...?

What time is it?

Oh... I need to prepare sweet as my kitchen ritual.

It's still midnight 6AM... who wakes up at this time?

Oh god! I think I wake up early at midnight because my body didn't start adjusting to Indian American time difference!

I opened my eyes completely and scanned the empty room. Where is my hubby?

And what is this beer bottle doing here?

Is he drinking and celebrating that I rejected him?

Of course, he doesn't love me...why would he be disappointed if I rejected him...

I slowly got up from my comfy bed and went to the bathroom for a shower. I had a good long hot shower and wore salwar kameez dress.

Since I cannot be a good wife for my husband for now... I'm trying hard to be a good daughter in law... so I went into the kitchen myself and prepared bottle gourd halwa as sweet, fruit salad with different healthy fruits, mashed potatoes pancakes and other foods with lots of veggies.

After spending an hour on cooking, I went to our room to change clothes.

Then I went to goddess Durga temple inside the mansion and put everything I made in front of the idol and said

"Hey! Goddess Durga!! Please bless me and my family with success in everything we do and for my husband, please ensure his safety. He had a bike accident last year and don't ever let it repeat again.

Bless him with so much knowledge, so I can eat his brain out with my nonsense questions!

Bless him with so much patience, so he can bear with me!!

Bless him with so much money, so I can make him bankrupt more fascinatingly."

I nearly prayed for fifteen minutes for Seshi.

Soon after, I called everyone for breakfast and ordered MIL to prepare coffee for everyone. Well... how can she defy the head of the family's order which is me.!!

Everyone slowly came to the dining hall. Prem and Arvind uncle's houses are as same as our mansions located in the same compound just ten foot away from each other.

Wow! It would be so fun living with them!!

A big joint family!!

Just then Seshi came to the dining room in all his glory with a secret and determined smile on his face.

What is wrong with him?

All of them took their seats and I went to the kitchen to bring their breakfast. I placed their respective breakfast before everyone except Seshi's.

Everyone looked at me with a questioning gaze. I smiled shyly at them...

Me: I... made this sweet for him especially... only for him.

I turned around giving Seshi a shy smile. Everyone laughed at my shyness and are telling how lucky Seshi is. I brought Seshi's bowl of dessert and placed in front of him. I took a seat next to him and waiting for something to happen.

Eat it Seshi... you will loveeeee it.

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHA

Everything happened in a slow motion... Seshi taking a spoonful of halwa, slowly keeping in his mouth, slightly cringing at the taste and finally throwing up in the plate.

I, Mytri Seshank Gupta, made bitter gourd halwa for my husband which he detests so much. Bitter gourd is the only vegetable he hates and I made a halwa out of it only for him.

Do not think bad of me... I am a wife and I need to take care of my husband's health no matter how much of a doctor he is and bitter gourd is good diabetes, belly fat, immune system, best vitamin for skin etc.

So, I, Mytri Seshank Gupta pledge myself to cook bitter gourd for him every day.

Hehehehe...

I looked up from my plate worried and gave him a glass of water which he snatched from my hand and glared at me. What can I do, so I just smirked at him. I took a spoonful of halwa from his bowl and took it to his lips...

Suddenly, everyone who ate the other foods started praising me....They said that everything is so delicious and perfect just like me, my cooking is best too!

"This is for you both from me and your mom" Seshi's dad gave us New iPhone 7 PLUS, One for me and one for Seshi with couple pouches.

"Thank you, Uncle," I said taking it without complaining I have iPhone 7 plus already.

They say you should never say a no to elders.

"This is for you Sujith, I heard one of your patients broke your phone!" Uncle said smiling to Sujith and gave a new phone to him too

"Thanks, Uncle" He replied and took it....

One more hand came in front of him which is my new younger brother....

"Where is mine?" He asked accusingly and pleadingly at the same time...! So cute!!

"No new one for you after what you have done to me, intruding my room. By the way, Don't you know...you are adopted?" My heartless husband questioned Shyam...

"Mummy, why he always say so? Am I really adopted?" Shyam started fake crying and questioning Pam aunt who is busy on phone.

"Don't worry Shyam they adopted you from the same orphanage where Raghu uncle adopted Seshi." I took my bro side in front of my husband.

Everyone laughed...HAHAHAHA.

"Right darling!!! come on now have a bite. Is my cooking not to your taste?"

I asked pouting and almost in tears.

Tears? Yes, I made my acting a bit more natural.

Seshi: Oh... no, sweetheart, I ate this tasty food for the first time in my life... so just got a bit shocked that you can cook this good.

Seshi ate the spoonful of halwa and smirked and continued...

Seshi: umm... Mytri baby... how about we go on a honeymoon?

Me: W...What?

What is he planning? This sneaky little... ummmm no sneaky big monster. I looked at him to glare but has the all famous smug look on his handsome face. I know he is planning something. He is never the silent one. He is the arrogant Seshi Gupta.

Raghu Uncle: Right... son, we already booked everything for you both. You will leave this weekend which is four days from now. You'll have enough time for packing. And Mytri... you both will have a small reception party this evening to introduce you to our business mates and few relatives.

I cursed under my breathe for the turn of events.

Oh, Mytri... you know Seshi is not the one who you can play with carelessly... Now I need to do something to cancel this honeymoon and also from now on I need to plan carefully.
