Vikrant's POV(past)

28th March it is. The day when I am finally getting married to Arushi. Never in my dreams would have I thought marriage would give me such happy and nervous jitters.

The whole house is a mess right now. I am not even allowed in my own room because Naina and few other cousin's of mine are busy decorating it for my wedding night.

All that I am waiting for is to make Arushi mine....Officially Mrs.Arushi Vikrant Shergill. But this Natasha keeps nagging my brain all the while. I want to get rid of that crazy woman. Sometimes I wonder why did I even make her my girlfriend in the first place.

"Bhai please get ready soon now...and dare you spoil the decorations of the room. It took me more than an hour to make that mess of yours look pretty." Naina yelled at me from the far corner of the hall.

But did she just call my room a mess? I don't even stay here it's suppose to be the cleanest room....I know I am staying here since past 3 days but apart from a few cloths here and there it wasn't really a mess I guess.

Anyways let me just get ready else mom will again start panicking and creating a fuss about me not being ready yet.

'Pretty romantic' is all that came to my mind looking at my room which looked no less than a honeymoon suite with all the flowers and scented candles which weren't lit yet obviously they would blow off if they were lit now.

'Good Job little sister'

I went in for a quick shower. I don't know if I should be called shameless because under the shower I am already imagining my future with my love including all the naughty stuff.

Just the thought of making her blush and have her all for myself brings this huge grin on my face and maybe a little tint of blush as well.

I walked out with this huge grin but you know some things don't last forever.

This witch of a woman Natasha stood in my room god know doing what in those flowers that were kept on the side table.

'Why do you have to be so cruel with me god....can't you bear my happiness for a few minutes atleast' I complained like a 5 year old baby. Something is really wrong with me.

"So hot." Natasha's voice brought me out of my thoughts. Her fingers over my naked chest.

I held her hand away from me to keep her off her dirty thoughts that might be running in her mind.

"What are you doing here? That too in my room?" my irritation might have been evident in the tone but I need to control it This girl needs to be pushed....no kicked out of my life with the taste of her own medicine.

"Did you just forget that my mother is your father's cousin Or did you just forget that You accepted me to be your girlfriend last night?" she spoke in that toxic voice of hers.

'When did I tell her that she was my girlfriend?'

'You did' my mind mocked at me.

'Aarrrrggghhhhhhh' she is getting on my nerves now.

"Oh yes....but I guess you need to stay a little away from me for a few days...I dont want to create an issue at home now....You know my grandfather would.....I hope you understand" I kept my voice as sweet as I could...a tough job with this psycho woman.

"Yes sure....but don't worry I'll have my eyes and ears on you all the time" she smirked at me. Now what's this with keeping her eyes on me? Is she spying on me?

"Don't be so confused you will know it soon....get ready for this fake marriage of yours....And I hope you keep that name sake wife of yours at bay else I don't know which family member of yours would be my first target....Maybe your sister or your grandfather or maybe your mother." she said and walked out with venom dripping from ever word of her's.

I really cannot afford anyone from my family to be hurt because of me. Everytime this happens my loved ones are hurt because of me. I can't let it happen all over again. I need to do something before it's too late.

I can't even talk to Natasha's mom about her daughter. Aunty is such a sweetheart plus she has a weak heart after her husband passed away. She would feel so ashamed to hear all this about her daughter.

All the negative thoughts were pondering in my mind. I couldn't understand what should I do now.

"Dude why was that Natasha walking out of your room?" Rahul questioned as he walked in.

"Vikrant Aunty is already calling you down and you are still in your towel....Why aren't you ready yet. Move you ass and get ready fast." he started screaming at me even before I could respond to his earlier question.

"She wants me back and is threatening to hurt my family if I dont." I said to Rahul because he was the only one whom I could trust.

"What?" confusion was evident on his face.

I told him everything that has happened in the past 3 days because I know he is the only person who would help me get rid of her now.

"I don't understand what she meant by 'have my eyes and ears on you'. Whatever it was I will tell everything about her to Arushi tonight then we'll figure out what to do with her."

"Ya I'll hire some people to keep a watch on that psychopath woman. But you better get ready soon now. Aunty is waiting down and Bhabhi is waiting as well." he winked at me while stating the last part.

Though he wanted to tease me I am happy he did something to lighten up this dense atmosphere.

"The room looks so romantic Vikrant....Your sister has surely made all arrangements for you to have a sleepless night I guess." he said walking around the room.

"You better shut up and help me out here or mom would kill me. And don't spoil anything Naina has already warned me about it."

"Ya Ya...fine." All his happy teasing mood was gone now. Crazy man I believe.

All the beautiful decorations at the venue seemed nothing when Arushi came in my sight. She looked like an angel from heaven as she walked towards me in her bridal dress. Her face glinted like never before.

She gave me a nervous smile as she sat beside me for the rituals to begin. I understand she is nervous even I am but I am more worried about the evil woman who has barged into my life.

As we walked around the holy fire with the priest reading out the vows to us. I promised myself to keep Arushi safe and happy until my last breath.

It was finally time for her to bid a bye to her family. Her eyes were pooling up with tears. I for sure hate this tradition of a girl leaving her family but that is how it is. That is how the new phase of life begins.

Even when we sat in the car her tears were flowing down her now red cheeks.

"Stop crying Arushi they are just a call away from us." I said handing her some tissues. Its so heart wrecking to see her so vulnerable but somewhere I even feel happy that she would be with me 24/7.

Once we reached home mom was ready with another line of rituals. Weren't these people tired with all the hustle bustle to already sleep that they are ready with another set of rituals?

But the best of all was the ring in the bowl because I won it. Unlike the typical bollywood hero's who would hand the ring over to the bride below the milk I chose to win it. Why be a spoil sport u see.

I was finally heading towards my room unaware of another storm. But a storm is a storm it has to come right?

Naina and a few cousins stood ahead of the room door like a barrier. I am already tired with all these rituals now why are these girls here to irritate me more.

"What?" I questioned looking at Naina who simply forwarded her hand towards me.

"Wanna see your bride then first you need to please us with something."

"Yes bhaiya....first give us something then only you are allowed to go in." Anya one of my cousin spoke.

"Vikrant" I heard Rahul scream from downstairs. Now what's up with him....why is he running like a maniac.

"Thank god you din't go in yet....I need to tell you something really important." he was panting until he reached me.

"Rahul bhai its his wedding night today please leave him today atleast your best friend won't run away." Naina mocked at Rahul.

"Yes please....now you girls also leave." I said and tried entering in but much to my dismay neither Rahul nor the girls let me in.

"Fine....You'll get whatever you want in the morning now please leave." I watched the girls move away after being satisfied.

Once they had gone Rahul started dragging me away.

"Now what's wrong with you.... For heaven sake I just got married a few hours ago....Can't you guys let me spend some time with my wife." I yelled at him as we reached the hallway away from my room.

"Go on and spend your time under camera's and microphones" his voice sounded really pissed off and I couldn't understand what he is trying to tell.

"You said that Natasha told she'll have her eyes and ears on you....earlier in the evening when I was in your room teasing you about the decorations I found some cameras and microphone in between those flower decorations. It's her. She did it to maybe make sure you were serious about what you said to her yesterday night. That's why she was in your room."

What the fuckin hell on earth....
cameras and microphones. Seriously?? I really need to put this psychopath woman in some mental asylum.

"Stop pulling your hair....there's more to it."

"After so much there's more to it? Like I seriously will call the cops and make her rot in jail now....Its beyond my patience now."

"She tried attacking bhabhi again at the wedding hall but since bhabhi was with everyone around her all the time she couldn't do anything."

I breathed out a sigh of relief now. But for how long will I keep them all safe....I need to call the cops and file a case against her now.

"What are you doing now....Don't call the cops." Rahul said

"After all this you want me not to call the cops?"

"Fine call but what case would you file against her? Attempt to murder? What proof do you have against her? She'll be out in 1 or 2 hrs and then maybe she has more determination to hurt you or bhabhi or even others in your family. You want that?"

He has a point I need to act with patience. But what about Arushi? I need to tell her everything but how? Surely not under those camera's and microphones.

I was lost in my thoughts when there was a message on my phone. Who else other than the devil.

'You need to introduce me as your girlfriend soon So make sure Arushi hates you else you would hate yourself in near future.'

I can't believe this girl is blackmailing me to this extent.

"Rahul do anything hire as many people as you want I want this woman out of my life out of this city.....contact all the modeling contractors pay them as much as they want get all her modeling assignments cancelled..... I have had enough of her blackmailing now....Let the game play from both the sides."

I was all frustrated by now. I feel disgusted to even know that I thought I loved this witch till a few years ago. I had enough of her blackmailing now I'll show who she is messing up with now.
