Love Is Not A Fairytale

Chapter Nineteen

Arnav's POV:

"Now call the bride.. " the priest said and Sanjana was bought.

I looked at her from top to bottom... She was dressed in a beautiful red and gold lehenga with her inherited jewelry... She was made to sit beside me..

"Tie the mangalsutra around her neck. " the priest held it out and I took it making her wear it..

After the marriage was over, we sat in the car... she was crying a lot while vidai (leaving ceremony). She even hugged Vishal. I don't understand whether Vishal is a friend or enemy. When we sat in the car, I placed my hand on hers but, she jerked it away...

She went into our room first, after a while I went in only to find her opening her jewelry...

"Isn't this our first night? " I asked.

"So? Don't expect me to sit on the bed waiting for you... you can't use me like a w***e. " she said.

My patience was now at it's extreme.. I picked her up and pinned her to the wall... I kissed her roughly, I took her dupatta off and untangled her blouse knot. I pinched her belly, making her moan loudly...

I left her when she was becoming dizzy and in need of air...

"This is what a w***e feels like... " I said and left from the room.

I sat down on the stairs.. Next morning, I woke up to find myself curled up against the railing.. there was a blanket placed over me.. Maa must have placed it.. But, what is she thinking of me and Sanjana now?

I went into my room and saw everything in place. My clothes ironed, my coffee kept and the towel ready on the bed. Even though she has forgotten everything, her nature is still the same. I smiled at myself and changed quickly..

I went down to find Sanjana in the kitchen in a red gorgett saree.. I went and hugged her from behind. She jumped in her place. I turned her around and she tried to get out of my grip..

"Arnav leave me, what are you doing!? " she said pushing me.

"Shh... has anyone told you, you speak to much? " she blushed at my words.. So, I still have effect on her.

I pecked her lips and left, even before she could understand... leave alone react.

Sanjana's POV:

I stood there dumbfounded.. I touched my lips... what's wrong with him? Why is he behaving this way!?

I prepared breakfast and everyone had it... I went to Dadi's room with lurk warm oil and sat down near her legs..

"Beta, what are you doing leave.. " she said.

"Dadi, when you were young didn't you do this? " I asked her and she smiled. I had got my answer.. "Now you rest.. " I said.

I started massaging her foot.. After half an hour or so I got up and went to my room. Vishal called me.. I picked it..

"Hello sunshine.. " he said.

"Hey.. " I replied.

"Is Arnav irritating you? " he asked..

"Nope.. but, he.. he is behaving differently... " I mumbled..

"Aacha listen, come with your guitar in the park.. we'll start our practice.. the competition is on Saturday.. " he said..

"Okay, I'll come.. " I said and hung the phone..

Oh! The guitar is still in my house.. I opened my cupboard to get my saree and found my guitar and song books in there... Woah! This is strange. I don't remember bringing this with me..

I quickly wore a better saree, took my guitar and went to the park.. After an hour of practice or so a hand caught my wrist... I looked up. It was Arnav. What is he doing here?

"Why did you come here? " he asked through gritted teeth.

"What? " I asked

"What are you doing here? " he asked again.

"Playing the guitar... " I said casually..

"Come with me.. " he said..

"But— " he cut me off by pulling me..

He drove the car in silence. He dragged me into the room and pushed me, causing my guitar to fall and break. I looked at the broken guitar in shock...

"What the hell was that!? " I asked.

"What the hell were you doing there, without my permission!? " he yelled.

"Your permission? " I asked in confusion..

"Yes! I'm your husband... " he yelled.

"Husband? Okay, so you are my husband. Oh I didn't know you see... But one thing, if you are my husband does that mean you have bought me.. No, right? Then? You know, this is the problem with you boys.. You, you want us to be perfect and independent yet, you will dominate us... why? Why is it so!? Tell me Arnav!! Tell me!! You think you can take away my freedom? Vishal is just a friend and he will always be... At least till we are together... Till we don't part.. I have values and principles.. I'm not any slut to move around with boys.. You know what? Forget it! Why am I even telling you this?? " I yelled and left the room with my broken guitar...

I sat down on the stairs and examined my broken guitar.. It's true. A person can never change..
