“MEERA'S POV”

I was all ready as a bride. My puffy cried eyes were covered by makeup and I was draped in that attire which was suffocating me. Suffocating me because it was not for me. Because this marrige is a mere compromise with myself.

Abeer came and what more could've I expected from him. I can't even say anything. He thinks me as if I'm behind  his money and all.

Why couldn't I speak in front of him shouting that I did it for uncle and aunty who have given me a new life!!

I'm bounded by so many promises that I'm being pestered between them and there I did seven more promises. I'm sure this marriage can never ever work but I'll always be loyal to you Abeer no matter what.

I'll never cheat on you with anyone else.

 I wish I could get the same but I know expecting anything from this marriage is useless.

Two people who are no where even near to liking or I must say no where even near knowing each other have to behave as a  couple in so much love, in front of world.

Atleast he doesn't know a shit about me.

What an irony right!!

Till tomorrow everyone will get to know about this marriage. My parents too! But uncle and aunty will handle this thing I know.

When Abeer filled my partition with vermilion more tears came out of my eyes.

 My life is over.

Normally the girls start their happy journey from here and I'm ending my happy journey here.

Aunty and uncle are now my mom and dad. They were more than that but now I'll call them mom and dad.

We have to share room. Worst thing!

 The hell I want to share anything with him.

I was going upstairs to the room when aunty.. I mean mom stopped me and I looked at her.

"Yes aun..I mean mom " I asked

"Never forget that you'll always be the same Meera for me. My Sweety" She said and I hugged her tightly

"And you'll never be a mother in law. You'll always be my Mom " I replied and she smiled

"Meera, Abeer is very stubborn and short tempered I know. But please don't give up on him. I don't say push yourself into this relation but at least you can try " She asked and I nodded.

"I'll try mom" I whispered.

I know this can't work but still I'll try for you mom. But this marriage is a car of two wheels.  If the second wheel doesn't work car will eventually meet accident smashing it completely!!

"I'll tell home staff to shift your luggage to your new room" she said and I nodded.

I went upstairs to my room first. Good bye to this room forever.

"Mam, your luggage have to be shifted" told one of the Home staff

"Yeah. Please pull out those suitcases" I said and soon I packed all my luggage and it was sent to Abeer's room.

I too went to his room.  I want to change from this lehenga. I can't even walk properly in this.

Hence I went inside the walk in closet where my suitcases were kept.

I pulled out my night suit and kept it there and turned around but as soon as I turned I saw a site which I shouldn't.

"Shit. I'm sorry " I muttered and turned back

"What. " he  asked

"Please wear your clothes" I said and I think finally he realized what position he was in.

Only A towel around waist!!!

"Why. You can't see me like this and You can't control yourself" He said and I'm sure he must be smirking.

"I don't want to see you in any way. Now if you're done bluffing please go and wear something" I shouted and he turned me around grabbing my wrist tightly.

"Ouch Abeer. Leave me" I said trying to free my wrist

"Don't ever try shouting on me Meera. Keep your mouth shut and that will be best, otherwise I'll not mind making you regret it" he spat coldly and my tears came back again because of the pain.

"Lea.. leave My hand Abeer. It's hurting" I managed to say and he slightly pushed me away.

"You're the worst person I've ever seen" I yelled trying to stand up.

"You've still not seen my worst side." He stated and with that went to the bed.

"Where will I sleep" I asked wiping my tears when I saw him covering the whole double sized bed! 

"The hell I know. Take that couch" he said

"I'll prefer going to my room" I muttered and was about to go when he grabbed the same wrist and I flinched due to the pain.

"Leave my hand. It's paining" I sneered and at once he left it.

"Don't create an issue in front of mom. Just sleep here on the bed. It's just for two days then in NY you'll have your separate room.  At least I wouldn't have to see your face" He said

"That's more good for me" I replied and went to the walk in closet.

I looked into the mirror at my own self and tears came out.

No Meera.  You're not weak.  You're strong girl. You have many battles to fight in life.  This is just a small part of it.

I wiped my tears and removed all the jewellery and makeup. I took a warm water bath and changed into my night suit and then went to bed.

Look at him how peacefully he's sleeping ruining my sleep!!

I arranged all the pillows that were in the room on the center and after I was satisfied with that boundary I slept on my side of bed. Don't know when sleep overpowered me.

I woke up when sunlight fell on my face. I blinked my eyes and opened it.
That man was sleeping beside me peacefully. I sighed thinking my fate and stood up.

Going to the bathroom I took a shower & got ready into casual clothes when there was a knock on the door.

I opened the door and mom was there.

"Good morning Doll" she wished smiling and I smiled a bit.

"Morning aunt...Mom . I was just coming downstairs only" I said

"In this" She asked pointing to my clothes.

"You can wear whatever you want Sweety but right now you've to do a morning ritual today and then have to cook your first meal. So wear something traditional . And that's why I have this for you" She said handing me a box and opened it

It had a red saree.

"As if I know how to wear it" I pouted and she chuckled

"Damn!!  You're ruining my sleep" came his voice

"No one will disturb you. Well, you've to do pooja so come down fast okay " said mom to Abeer

"And you just come with me" she mumbled and took me to her room.

"See, I really don't want you to wear sarees all the time but sometimes it's no harm right" She said and I chuckled nodding.

"That's a ready to use saree. No issues will happen while wearing it okay " she added and I smiled.

"Now go.Get ready and come soon" she said and I nodded going back to the room.

That man was still sleeping so I went into the walk in closet and changed into the saree.

Honestly it was so easy and it was so beautiful.

I was wearing earrings when there was a knock.

"Open the door. I'm getting late" He said from outside.

I don't want to ruin my day fighting and arguing so I just opened the door and got back to dressing table.

I wore my earrings and looked into the mirror when I saw him staring me.

I turned back and looked at him.

"What" I snapped

"Whaat" He snapped back

"Why were you staring at me" I asked and he smirked

"Aww wifey!  Don't I have all the rights to stare you" he said smirking and I glared at him.

"Why. You don't like me staring at you" He asked again giving his devil smirk

"Abeer. Go and do your work" I said calmly and taking my phone I went out of the closet but that man blocked my way.

"Remember Meera. You'll badly regret marrying me" He coldly spoke and I looked at him.

"I need to go. Mom is waiting for me. Leave my way" I told

"Take my clothes out" He Said

"Excuse me" I asked looking shocked at him

"Are you deaf or what" He said and I frowned

"I'm not your slave " I snapped and he smirked

"You're not less than that too" He mocked

And Now That Hurts.

"Get away" I told my voice cracking but I'll now not cry in front of him. 

I moved inside the closet again and took out his clothes.

"These are not good. Change them" he said and I glared.

I took another one out and he did the same.

"Mom is waiting for me." I told and he smirked

"Pull out that one with red and black" he told and I did that.

Why the hell am I doing as he's saying!!!!

I went out and headed towards the temple area.

"What took you so long Meera" asked mom

"I..actually.. was taking out Abeer's clothes" I said and she smiled

"Not bad Meera" chirped mom smiling

How much I want to tell you that this is torture for me which he's doing on me !!!

I didn't say anything and stepped into temple and did Aarti.

"Abeer, do Aarti with her" instructed mom when I denied

"I'm getting late mom. I've to make breakfast too na" I told making excuse

"Meera. You've to do this" Dad said and I sighed.

He came forward and as soon as he touched my hand my body stiffened.

Why the hell it gives me goosebumps!!!

I don't even like being near him !!!!

I then went to the kitchen and thought what to make. I'm no interested to perform any of these rituals but mom's happiness can make me do anything.

"Mom,what should I make" I asked

"Cook will make all other breakfast you just make something sweet" said mom and I nodded

I started making Carrot Halwa and honestly I was satisfied with it's aroma.
I took it out of dining table and called mom and dad.

"Where's Abeer " asked dad to me.

The hell I know !!

"I don't know dad" I replied

"I'm here dad" he said coming towards table.

"Where are you going Abeer" asked mom

"Of course office mom" He said

"You're not going anywhere today. You've just married yesterday and today it's your reception" told mom

"Who cares mom. My work is more important then all this shit" he replied

"Abeer mind your words and you'll not go anywhere today" dad ordered and he sighed sitting on his chair.

"Eat breakfast Abeer. See it's your favorite" mom told and smiled at me.

Oh shit!! What the hell. How can I even forget that carrot Halwa is his favorite.

Why god. Why I had to make this only.

Mom always said that it's his favorite whenever she made carrot halwa.

Arrgghhh!!!!

"Oh wow. Thanks mom." He thanked smiling and filled his mouth with it.

Can I get some chillies to put into his sweet!!!

"Hmm..Mom it's amazing. Thankyou for making it. At least anything good took place" he said

"Thanks to your wife. Meera made it"mom told and  he stopped chewing the Halwa.

"I'm full." He said standing up from his chair and went up without saying anything.

It really hurts ! What have I done that I'm facing this !

"Meera. It's Okay. Leave him. You eat yours and doll this is as yummy as it's always" complimented dad handing me a gift.

"Why this dad" I asked and mom chuckled

"It's a sign of good omen. Take it" said mom and I nodded.

I opened it and it was a beautiful solitaire bracelet.

"It's beautiful dad but it wasn't needed. It's so costly." I told and he chuckled

"You always say like this only" dad said

My appetite really died and I didn't want to eat anything.

"Mom,I've some important work. You both complete  your breakfast okay" I told smiling and they nodded.

I straight went up towards my room and opened it when I realised it's my old room now.

I sat on my bed and tears came out of my eyes.

Suddenly my phone rang.

Divya!! What I'll even say her.

"Hello" I said controlling my tears

"What's all this Meera." She asked concerned and I burst out crying.

"My life has shattered in one night Divi" I cried.

I know she must have seen news.

"Hey Meera stop crying and tell me how all this happened" She asked and I narrated whole story to her.

"How can you do this Meera! Are you mad. For anyone's reputation you sacrificed your whole life" She shouted

"They're not anyone Divya. They're my everyone" I retorted

"I know Meera but that is your life. And that Abeer Malhotra how the hell he behave like this" she shouted

"He thinks I...I did it purposefully. Believe me Divya I didn't. I was not even ready for any type of commitments to anyone. I had to do it for the happiness of those people who're the reason behind my happiness" I sobbed

"Hey.. Shh..don't cry. Everything will be fine soon. " she said

"Will everything be fine?" I asked

"You trust God right . He'll do everything that's good for you" she consoled

"I hope so. Today is reception and tomorrow we'll go NY. I'll not be able to continue my studies. I'll have to leave each one of you and I don't want to do this. I want to live here only. I don't want to go with that moron anywhere" I sobbed

"Calm down Meera. I know it's tough but remember Meera never looses hope. I know you both have entered a relationship which was very unexpected but just hope for the best " She said

"Hmm" I replied wiping my tears.

"And remember if that Malhotra tries even a bit to harm you in any way just call me I'll smash his face" She said and I chuckled

"I love you Divi. Come in the evening. May be that's the last time I'll be meeting you" I said and my voice cracking

"Shut up Meera. You're not going to hell before me okay" she said and tears came out of my eyes.

Welcome to the hell .

His words came in my mind!

I've already entered hell !

"See you in the evening. I'll message you the invite " I told and she nodded hanging up.

I wiped my tears and came out of the room when mom called me.

"Yes mom" I asked

"Meera I was telling you that I've invited our guests personally. Do you want to invite other people " she asked

"I don't have much people in my life mom and Don't worry I've invited Divya" I said and she smiled sadly at me.

"When we're here why you want much people" She asked and I smiled

"Yes. I know. They won't be coming today too na" I asked and her face fell.

"No issues mom. I can understand" I said and she looked at me

"How are you able to hide all this pain behind this smile Meera" she asked and I chuckled

"There's nothing like this. I'm just sad because of one thing. I've to leave my family tomorrow" I said pouting and she chuckled

"We're here only. Come back whenever you miss us...and yes your family, I mean Abeer is with you only " She told and I frowned

He's not my family huh !!!!

"I love you mom" I said hugging her.

"I love you too my sweety. Okay now see designer is waiting outside with some evening dresses. Decide best one for you today " she told and I nodded

When I went there the hulk was already there.

I just went and sat on sofa.
The designer started showing the dresses.

Who's interested in all this!!

"Mr. Chaterjee pick out anything which you like" I said

"Mam this one will look perfect on you" he told showing a strapless Gown with a slit from right thigh !

"Put that back" came Abeer's voice

"What. Why" I asked

"Mr.Chaterjee put that back. She's going to her reception not to any fashion show" he snapped gritting his teeth.

"But.." I was going to say when he glared me gesturing me to keep my mouth shut.

I don't want to make a scene here so I kept quiet.

"Pull out that one" Abeer said pointing to a gown.

The designer smiled and pulled that out.

Honestly it was so so much beautiful.

"Finalize this" he said

When I don't have any say in this then what am I doing here.

I stood up and was going when he stopped me.

"Now what" I asked

"My outfit is still remaining wife " He huskily whispered in my ear which gave me goosebumps.

"St..stay away" I muttered and he smirked

"Then choose for me" he smirked again and I glared him.

"Pull that grey one out" I said and designer nodded

"Perfect. Not bad. Your choice is so great.  See me" he stated and I glared him.

"Don't you dare" I whispered

"You've still not seen my daring" he glared me and I turned around and went to kitchen.

Day passed soon and we went to the hotel in which reception was going to take place.

Makeup and styling artist came and got me ready for reception.

"Hey beautiful" came a voice that made me smile

"Divya" I said and hugged her tightly

"Damn! How much I needed that" I whined and she chuckled

"I know I know. By the way you're looking hell gorgeous. Someone's Eyes will not be off from you." She winked and I frowned.

"Meera. Relax. Everything will be fine" she assured and I nodded.

"I hate this public showoff" I said and she chuckled

"You're not habituated of it right. After all you've never seen name and fame" came his voice and I turned back.

No doubt he's looking great but the I hell care. If it was in my hands I would've punched that face.!!

"Who you are" He asked Divya

"Divya Sharma. Meera's best friend" Said Divi

"Ohh my wife's best friend" He replied smirking at me.

"Mr. Abeer Malhotra don't try faking this to me. I know everything. I know, I don't have Right to say anything bad to you, that's why I'll say you just one thing. Your fate is really good that you got Meera. Don't ever do anything stupid that you might regret later because , if you'll loose her for once ,you'll realize her importance but then it might be too late" warned Divya and I looked at her shocked

Abeer too was looking shocked at her.

"That's my life Ms. Sharma. Don't teach me what to do and what to not" He snapped

"That's why I didn't say anything much Abeer Malhotra otherwise I have much to say" she shot back glaring him.

"Divi please stop" I said and she glared me.

"Please" I whispered again and she glaring for the one last time at me went out.

"I see you taught your friend so good" he said gritting his teeth.

"That's your cheap thinking " I told and turned to go away when he held my wrist.

"Mom told that you'll enter with me " He said and I nodded sighing.

I'm fed up of this all right now but my bad I've to tolerate this show off for my whole life in front of this damn world!

God if you didn't want to give me happiness then why did you even send me on this earth!!!!!
