Her heart thudding in her chest brutally wanted to come out of it cage. The way inky eyes peering at her it seems they are studying her soul , like they can see beyond her facade. She felt naked at that moment ,
wanted to hide from his very sight and not to come out again.

He was studying her face caliously without missing anything , how her skin go paled at his mere taking a step closer , her fingers continuously fidgeting showing her nervousness , gaze never meeting his once and her full red painted lips she was assaulting  them without notice with her teeths. He noticed everything.

She is scared !

Veer felt an overpowering emotion of possiveness in him , reminded him that trembling beauty belongs to him his wife.

" Are you planning of staying here all night  " he asked irritatedly his voice came out rough deep.

She looked at him startle at his sudden outburst and shook her head , Veer sigh and signalised her to car.
She was about to reach to car when his angry voice make her halt " What the hell are you wearing " she turned in his direction ag his loud voice ,eyes questioning , she looked down to see her dress but found nothing wrong.

" What- what's wrong " she asked not knowing the reason of his anger ,

Veer took a long stride toward her instinctively she took  one back and collided with his car , he placed a hand beside her head on the car caging her in and bent down to her level eyes staring at her , face close " I don't know you have a liking of flaunting your skin woman " his voice calm and cold.

She baffled at his absurd remark , heart racing in fear. His grandmother choose this dress she don't have a say in this. He tucked a loose strend of her hairs she shrink back more in the car " You want to gather all males attention to youself giving them a very good show of your naked back"

Now it downed upon her , she also complained a k of little about this matter to Vaani but she shrugged it.

" You are misunderstanding i didn't select ---" before she completed he cut her in middle.

" Don't make lame excuses now just stuck it in your mind next time my eyes don't saw you in those filmcy dresses. I like my woman all covered up. If by chance you ignore my words" his finger trailed at the side of her face , and hold her chin firmly making her glance in his eyes " I will make you roam naked inside our bedroom "

It seems earth slipped beneath her foots , the man stood too close to her caging her be none other than is husband. How could he talk to her this cheaply , how could he insult her like this? A bile of disgust rose in the pit of her stomach , She don't want to stay near to this vile man.

" Stay away " she pushed him desperately wanted to create a distance between them.

" Dur rehne ke liye shaadi thodi na ki thi " ( I didn't marry you for staying away ) He mused in her ear , eyes showing mockery at her futile attempts.

Her eyes became teary , at her helpness .

After seeing her face he took a step back calming himself , " Open your hairs now " he ordered his face now less of any emotion ,He don't want any man to have a look of anything that solely belong to him.

She stood there looking down , recovering from his words.

When he saw her not moving his frowned deepened and in just one tug  opened her bun , she shriek at his move , her hairs came untangled at her shoulders , She was looking at him in horror.

"  Now come on , we have a party to attend . You can stare at me all you want in the party." he said opening the car door for her and made her inside and himself too grab the wheel.

She was sitting close to window , gazing outside . " How i am going to live with this man  in just 15 min. he make me cry and feel cheap. He don't know how to talk to a woman.

She was lost in her thoughts ,

At party --

They entered in the party a bit late. Party was kept at a Seven star hotel , Drinks and expensive beverages are all served in the hall. Supper also served at the adjacent open area giving the beautiful view of the night. Cold breeze also giving the environment a bit chilly maze. Hall was filled with numerous man and woman's of all ages all drinking and flirting. Ms. Vasundra Rathod Veer's grandmother welcome them with a smile , Misha met there with all of his sister's. She has met them before. Nitya and Sana . Nitya is an older daughter of Mr. Sumair Rathod and Sheetal Rathod where as Sana was the youngest school going girl. She also met Dev Vaani's husband and he was a complete gentleman taking care of his wife all the time.

Veer was busy in attending his business colleagues , a drink glass in his hand talking effortlessly about new upcoming projects. His fave showing he is enjoying his time.

She was feeling all alone in the big party , she never liked crowded places . But what she could do when her in-laws are all big Richie. She glance at the woman's who showing their skin intentionally  to gather the attention of man and than pass a flirty smile.

She cringe !

" Already bored Mrs. Rathod " a voice brought her back. Misha smiled at woman stood in front Veer's aunt Mrs. Sheetal.

" I don't like all this aunty , fake smile everything is a facade here. " Misha said with a tired smile.

" But now you should be prepared for all this , child after all You have to accompany Veer for the business parties and dinner where you are going to face all kinds of person " Sheetal said to her.

Misha nodded in understanding , after all she is right here. She can't be always kept standing in the corner sulking.

Misha studied at her aunt face and asked " Are you alright aunty , where were you lost "

She shook her head in assurance , " No bache it's nothing. few years back I had also standing at you place all confused and scared not knowing how to behave with high elites. You just made me remembered myself"

A far away look  in her eyes , but now she had trained how to talk , behave even smile.

Irony !

" I was searching you there and you are standing here in the corner seriously woman " Veer came and said to her his voice little harsh.

" I was taking to aunt--"

" Just come with me , i have to introduce you to some important clients. Don't you dare to make a mistake there" he said and dragged her  without acknowledging the presence of her aunt.

He stopped at near two men.

She observed one was aged in his late fifties and one was young. Their face opposite go to them.

Veer stood near them and cleared his throat , They face them with smile.

But Misha's face drained all its colour seeing the faces of people stood in front.

" Arey Misha what are you doing here child ?" older man asked her all astonishing ,

where as other young man stood ogling at her ,

" Do you know her Mr. Sinha " Veer asked confusingly.

" Yes ! ,young man she is the friend of my son they both are classmates " He clarified.

Veer glance between his wife and the man , both were busy in staring  , his jaw clenched.

" What are you doing here at this party " Sahil  asked firmly. He was shocked to core seeing her here also with Veer Rathod a businessman. And not to care all dolled up. He saw Veer's hand at her waist. And a bitter taste left in his mouth ,

Veer  was observing Mr. Sinha's son and his gaze on her wife , and he didn't like it a bit. He is a  man , and have the knowledge of how man's system works.

Misha was dreading this confrontation , she is feeling guilty for not telling her friends about her marriage. She is praying inwardly for Veer not to reveal anything like this.

Veer placed his hand on her waist , her flinch didn't go unnoticed by him making him angry. He put a tight lipped smile and said " Mr. Sinha meet my fiance Ms. Misha Gupta soon to be Mrs. Veer Rathod "

Misha shut her eyes in shame , Sahil face held betrayal. She couldn't able to look in his questioning eyes , her face hung low.

Veer's hold tighten on her waist , she composed herself and gave pass a small smile.

" I wasn't aware of Misha's engagement Mr. Veer , well congratulations to both of you" Sahil  said with pained.

After five minutes of painful conversation Misha excused herself. She couldn't bare the accusing eyes of her best buddy.

She took long strides and went into the washroom , and took some breathe to calm down herself.

Few tears escaped through her eyes , she don't wanted to hide all this. But she was afraid of being judged or called as gold digger.

she was busy in her thoughts when door opened with a harsh bang ,

" Meri na mojudgi mai nya aashiq bna liya h tumne " ( You have found another man in my absence ) Veer asked furiously , grabbing her by shoulders. His eyes blazing lava , It was always like this for Rathod man's they couldn't bare a single glance on their woman's. And the way his wife and that asshole looking all longingly toward each other make his blood boil to no end.

How dare she !
