My Second Love ◆2◆

8. You too brutus?

Khushi Pov

I blinked my eyes to push away my hallucination. How come dadi can be fit and fine in a microsecond? Am I dreaming? Is it all happening in my dream? I raised my fingers and touched my neck. Mangalsutra was there, that means everything was real. My fingers run on my partition and found a reddish hue on my fingers, screaming the vermillion and it's significance.

"Are you sure you aren't in any drama troop?" I asked in daze.

She beamed to the moon and back instead of answering me. What the hell happened now? I received a call stating that she fell down in temple.

Wait, she didn't fell down and I thought she fell down from the stairs. Stupid! If she fell down, she must be in downstairs not in the temple which was upstairs. A gasp escaped out of realisation.

And my dilated pupils captured the perfectly arranged hawan kund. Did that means everything was preplanned?

Why did she done something like this? What's the hurry to marry us today itself when he ended our brewing relationship? Does she come to know about the decision we took? Is this marriage an outcome of it?

"You're acting." It's not a question but statement.

I turned at my left hearing a soft voice. Arnavji face looks pale like a white sheet. I doubt whether the voice I heard just a moment ago was actually his voice.

Dadi took few steps ahead to reach us "Chotte... Hear me out. I..."

"STOP IT. Just stop. I don't want to hear any damn excuses. Do you think marriage is a child play? For god sake, open your eyes from your dreamland. See what had you done. I BROKE UP with her, I ENDED everything between us. Not even few hours passed after that, you did this drama. Who the hell you think, you're to take decisions for me? Can't I have a simple right to choose my life according to my wishes?"

He roared not caring about the old women whose eyes are now pouring tears out. But he isn't wrong from his perspective. How can dadi trick us like this? Doesn't she knows, only two hands makes a clap? It needs two of us to took forward the relationship.

"I..."

"DON'T.. Don't open your mouth. You lost it completely. I never thought you would backstab me like this. You too.. like others..."

He punched the nearby wall. We both jumped on our place. I never thought he'll get angry like this. Heck, even a lava is burning on my nerves. But he looks like he'll hit any person on the way. Glad dadi is elder to us.

"Arnavji..." I called out suppressing my anxiety. He's continuously punching the wall scaring us to the core. His maniac punches tells, how much he felt betrayed.

He whipped around to face me. The fury in his eyes scared me to the nuts. If a lava is burning inside my nerves, he's bursting it out through his eyes. At once, my breath stuck in throat as he pulled me harshly by my arms. I shivered on his arms seeing him clenching his teeth. Bones of his jaw would flakes into pieces, if he continue to grit his jaws.

"I thought you're not like other girls. But you proved me wrong. You're also one of those immoral girl. You planned this with dadi, aren't you? That's why you asked me to buy a mangalsutra. Like a stupid emotional man, feeling bad for crushing your dreams, I agreed to buy it. But you... A cheap trick. Aren't you ashamed?"

He pushed me with a force that I stumbled back and fell down. It didn't hurt me but his words did. Physical pain is nothing compared to the thorn in the form of his words.

He thinks so cheap of me. He thinks, I manipulated him. How sick his thoughts are?

"Khushi beta..."
