Replaced groom

Chapter 4: Not made for each other

Riya's POV~

"Stupid, i***t Arrogant...these are the only words, I am repeating whenever I see that Vicky", I said to myself while puffing in anger.

"How dare he to insult me like this?I will never forgive him in my life..", I said to myself while tears are continuously flowing from my eyes.

I was on the terrace after the fight with him. I just can't understand how did he change overnight. He used to be so sweet to me..He used respect me..What happened to him? What is the reason that he is behaving like this to me? He is a nice person but what the hell am I thinking? He is a nice person...note the sarcasm...

The person who yells at me, insults me and still I am thinking he is a good person...Ahh!! I can't able to control emotions now!!

"Ah!! What the hell is happening with my life?", I said with frustration.

Well, I agree that I made the living room dirty ? deliberately as I got to know that he likes cleanliness.

I just want to annoy him as much as I can. I can't just take his insult.I will not bear any disrespect so I deliberately added salt in his tea. I saw his expression after drinking tea, It was worth it!! but I did clean the mess I created...I helped the maids and clean the kitchen and living room??

I need to think more ways to annoy him. May be in anger, he may reveal something regarding the reason why is he insulting like this?

Oh s**t!! I forgot to inform him about Padphera...I have to tell him about that...

So I wiped my tears, I adjusted myself. I went to his room....no our room..I opened the door to see he is shirtless. Thank God!! He is wearing his pant.

He flinched looked the sound of door opening.

"Hey...Knock the door", he yelled.

"Hmm...Sorry", I said while closing the door and waited for him outside.

After few minutes, I knocked the door. I heard his deep voice, "Come in", he said.

"Actually I forgot to tell you that...Tomorrow is Padphera ritual..You need to take me to my house", I said while looking at him.

"Well...Can't you go by yourself", he asked looking at me.

"I wish I could..but you are needed", I said with a sarcastic smile.

He was annoyed but controlled his temper.

"Okay", he said by giving me a sarcastic smile.

"Whatever", I rolled my eyes on him.

I went downstairs to the kitchen and prepared my food. I didn't prepare his food because he is not going to eat and will be wasted.

I made my favourite curry and paratha. I placed them on the dining table and went to get a cool drink.

When I went to dining table, I ate my dinner but when I saw 2 parathas are missing form the hot box.

"Did I make 8 or 6 parathas?", I said to myself.

"Oh..Whatever..I didn't count while making...Anyway I am full", I smiled to myself. I went to our room and slept on the couch.

Thank God!! I didn't see that Mr.Arrogant...or else I will strangle him to death.

I slept while thinking about my life..What I have to do next?

*********************************************

I woke up with the alarm sound.

"Turn off the bloddy alarm", I was irritated by the sound.

"Mind your language ", I heard a deep yet cold voice.

"Whatever!", I said while getting up from the couch.

"Look I don't have entire day for you..I have to go to university.. You better freshen up fast", he said while wearing his suit.

"Ji, Patidev", I said meekily.

"Don't call me that", he glared at me.

I rolled my eyes at him.

"Now will you get out now..So that I can freshen up", I asked him with attitude.

"Whatever!", he said while slamming the door with force.

Soon I got ready, I wore a saree for the ritual. I applied light makeup and went down. I braided my hair neatly.

I saw my Arrogant husband is scrolling his phone. I went and stood infront of him. I snapped his fingers infront of him. He looked at me and stood in front of me.

I looked into his deep eyes and we don't know we stared at each other for so long. I cleared my throat and looked away first.

He looked away later. "You...you take so much time to get ready...I ..I don't have whole day for you...Let's go", he said rudely and went off.

"Let's go then", I whispered.

Then we both enter the car and started to go to my house. Soon our car stopped in front of my house. He got down first and opened the backside of the car. I saw some gifts and sweets in his hands.

What the hell? He knows to bring some thing while going to others house. I'm impressed. He behaves polite with others but not with me..

"I didn't know you prepared this...You didn't tell me.", I said while looking at him.

"I don't need to tell you everything", he said.

"Such a impolite brat", I murmured.

"What did you say?", he asked.

"I didn't say anything", I said while taking the end of the saree and placing it on my head.

"What are you doing?", he asked.

"Well...I don't need to tell you everything!", I said while rolling my eyes on him.

"Hmph", he looked away.

We both went inside and saw my mom is coming with the Aarti plate. She did Aarti for both of us. Aarti will be done to a couple to remove the evil eyes on us.

"Mom..you don't need to do this..especially to both of us", I said with a sarcastic smile and done face.

"Riya..Stop....", my mom was cut off in middle.

"Mom..you don't have to worry...She is immature..I will handle her...", my Arrogant husband said and I was looking at him disbelief that how he can act like this.

"What are you...", I was cut off in middle when he glared at me. I knew I should stop now or else he is going to scold, insult me.

I just stood still. My mom and dad smiled and I looked at them in disbelief.

What the hell? Their daughter is being controlled by this prick and they are happy about it! I can't believe this

I just roll my eyes at them.

"Mom..Where is Rahul bhai?", I asked looking at them.

"He is in his room...He is going to America tomorrow ", my mom said.

"What the hell mom? You are telling me this now..", I said while leaving them alone in the living room and I just went up stairs to my brother.

I don't know how am I going to appease him.

I entered his room to see he is getting ready.

"Bhai...", I said while looking at him. He looked at me and immediately looked away.

"Bhai..Are you not going to talk to me?", I said while placing my hand on his shoulder. I back hugged him and tears started falling from eyes.

He turned around and saw me..

"Doll...Don't cry...I can't see you cry", he said while wiping my tears and I saw his eyes are filled with tears as well.

"Doll..If you are not happy, then I will take you away", he said while lookinga t em seriously.

"Bhai..Don't say like this..", I said while making him sit like on his bed.

"Doll, this marriage is done against your will...By the attitude of Vicky...towards you...I don't think he likes you", he said with a concern.

"Bhai...You don't need to worry at all..I will handle this", I said while assuring him.

"Doll...You are not understanding a thing...It's marriage...You have to be with each other forever. He can't understand you at all..Moreover, he helped his brother to run away from his own wedding", he said while running his hands in his hair.

"Bhai...Vicky is a nice guy..He respects women...He is matured..I think we both can handle this with maturity and understanding", I said while looking at him.

"Are you sure you can?", he said.

"Yes..Bhai...Don't worry", I said while smiling at him.

"You know, right? You can come to me anytime...I will always be there for you", he said while caressing my head with love.

"Yes..Bhai...I know..I will inform you if there is anything wrong", I said while hugging him.

"Anytime dear", he said.

"Let's go and have breakfast", I said.

"Okay", he said.

"Bhai...When will you come back?", I asked him.

"Around after 3-5 months..", he said.

"Why?", he asked.

"Just generally", I said.

"Come on tell me", he said while I sat on his bed and he sat with me.

"Nothing...I think you like Rasi", I said teasingly.

"There is nothing like that", he said while looking away.

"Oh come on, bhai..Don't lie to me", I said with a done expression.

"I'm not lying", he said still looking away.

"If that's the case..I will not stop her for the blind dates which her granddad gets everytime",I said.

"What?", he exclaimed.

"No...Why? Why her grandfather wants her to marry as soon as possible?", he asked.

"It's just that she lives with her grandparents..They want her settle in her life..", I said.

"Her parents passed away", I said.

"Oh!", he said in a low voice.

"Bhai..Are you really serious with her? She is a good girl..She works hard..she take care of her grandparents and studies well", I said.

"Yes Doll.. I thought of dating her after returning from the States", he said.

"Don't worry bhai..I will give you her phone number...Just talk with her..make her comfortable..", I said.

"Really?", he said

"Yeah!", I said.

"Give me", he said.

"That's not easy, bhai..You have to catch me first", I said while running outside of his room.

"Doll...Listen to me", he said.

"No..Catch me first ", I said while running..It sucks.. As I was running in the saree. Our loud voices and laughs echoes in the whole house. When I was going down the stairs, the saree got stuck in my feet and I was about to fell down. I closed my eyes and was ready to feel the pain but I didn't feel any. I slowly opened my eyes to see Vicky. I gasped looking at him.

Vicky hold me tightly. He arms are wrapped around my waist and my hands are on his chest.

"What the hell?", he said which can be heard by me.

"What did you say?", I heard a bhai's voice..I think he heard that too..I sighed.

"Leave her", Bhai said in a rude tone.

He slowly leave me and Bhai supported me to stand properly.

"Thank you", I said to Vicky..

"Whatever", he said while rolling his eyes.

"What the hell-", Bhai said irritatedly.

"Bhai..Stop", I said.

"Let's go downstairs, doll", he said.

Vicky, Bhai and I started going downstairs to the dining room.

"Vicky..Please sit,beta", my mom said while smiling.

"Thanks mom", he said.

What an actor

"And you both? Are you two kids?Why are you still running here and there?", my mom scolded us and Vicky laughed hearing us scolding.

We both glared at him. He just pretended not to see us.

"Let's sit here, bhai", I said while choosing a farther seat from Vicky.

"Bhai..Eat this..", I said while serving him.

"Riya..Come here...Sit beside Vicky", my mom said.

"Mom", I whined. She passed me 'not mess with me now' look.

I stood and sat beside Vicky.

"Serve him", my mom said while glaring.

I started serving him. I deliberately spilled some curry on his pant.

"Can't you serve properly?", he asked.

"Oh sorry! Patidev", I said with a sarcastic smile.

"Oh beta...don't mind her..Wipe that with this tissue..I'm sorry from her side", my mom said apologetically.

"Mom...Why are you saying sorry for me? That to... for him?", I raised my voice while looking at her.

Before my mom and he can say anything, I felt a slap on my left cheek.

"Ah!", I yelped in pain and cheek burned.

"Dad?!", I whispered in low voice.

"Dad...It's not fair", bhai raised his voice.

"You stop talking..It's not your business", my dad said while tears started rolling from my eyes.

"Doll...Let's go from here", Bhai said while taking my hand.

Because of him, my dad raised his hand on me...I'll not let him live in peace.

"Let's eat, bhai", I said while wiping my tears off my eyes.

All of them were shocked listening to me. They are staring at me with wide eyes.

All were sitting in the respective places and I ate the breakfast and Vicky said that he will be picking me up in evening. I just said okay and went to my room.

After going to my room, I went to my bed and started crying my heart out.

What the hell is happening in my life? What did I do wrong? I have to find Ricky now? What the hell is wrong with Vicky?

I cried, cried and slept.

*****************Evening*****************

I suddenly opened my eyes and flinched when I felt someone is caressing my hair.

"Dad", I said while getting up.

"Are you angry with dad?", he asked.

"No papa..I'm not", I said while looking at him.

"Riya..You know..you are a married woman now..", he said.

"Yes..dad..I know..I will remember this in my mind..not to cross limits..", I said emotionless.

"Riya..Please try to understand..beta", he said.

"I understand everything,dad. I will try to behave properly from now on..I will not make you embarrass again", I said while looking at him with determination. He looked at me shocked.

"That's my girl...I am proud of you", he said while huggingbad caressing my hair lovingly.

"Thank you, dad", I said.

"I'm sorry, beta", he said.

"No..dad...I deserved that", I said.

"Don't worry dad...I will be fine in few days", I said while assuring him to not worry. He just had his operation and I can't make him worry about this trivial things in my life. I have to sort it on my own.

"Okay...The patch up is done", my mom said.

"Yes..I am my dad's princess ", I said.

Mom and dad laughed with me.

"Doll...", Bhai came into the room.

"It's my time..to go to airport ", he said.

I stood up from the bed.

"Oh.. It's already evening!", I said in a low voice..

I hugged Rahul bhai.

"Bhai...Take care...I love you", I said while hugging him.

"You should take care of yourself...I love you too", he said while hugging caressing my hair.

"Bhai your present...I already texted her number to you...Don't scare her", I said while mumbling to his ears.

"Thanks Doll...Thanks", he said. He was genuinely happy.

"I'll first tell her about you...Just get to know each other like pen friends", I said.

"Okay..", he said.

"Bhai..Come fast", I said.

"Yes Doll.. I will complete the things fastly", he said.

"Bye bhai..", I said.

"What? Are you not coming with me to airport?", he asked while breaking the hug.

"It's depends on him..", I whispered slowly.

"Of course...She will come with you to airport", we heard a deep voice from behind.

"Riya..Let's go to airport ?", Vicky said. I was shocked to hear that..

What happened to him? ? Why is he behaving sweetly?

"Let's go to doll", Bhai said.

"Rahul..you can come in our car", Vicky said.

"Sure...Sure..He will go in your car", mom said.

Bhai and I looking at each other...What the hell?

"Princess...You sit back..", Bhai said while sitting beside him and I smiled looking at us care.

My parents didn't argued about it as he is going States..They just ignore it.

Soon we reached airport.

"Okay...Take care son..", mom and dad hugged him. They came in different car.

"Take care bhai...Love you❤️...All the best", I winked teasingly.

"Thanks doll", he said while hugging me.

"Take care, Rahul", Vicky said and I stood far from him.

"Yes..", bhai's eyes diverted to me.

"Thank you", he said when my parents looking at him...no glaring at him to give a nice response...

"Doll..Really if you need my help..I am just one call away...You know that right?", he said while caressing my cheeks.

"Yes bhai...I know", I said while tears filling my eyes.

"Don't cry..You will look like cartoon", he said making me laugh.

"Take care, doll", he said.

"Take care..mom and dad", he said.

"Take care, Vicky", he said and went off.

"Okay mom and dad...We will leave now", Vicky said coming out from the airport.

"No beta.. Have dinner at our place and you can go", my mom said.

"No..It's okay..I have some work..So..", he trailed and looked at me.

"What do you want me to say?", I asked with a raised brow.

"Okay beta..Your wish", my dad said and we both sat in our car.

As soon as we sit our car. He gripped my hand tightly.

"Can't you behave properly? Can't you just say that 'we will go home?' ", he asked.

"How would I know what you are thinking?", I asked.

"Leave my hand right this instant...You are hurting me", I said and yelped in pain.

"Can't you just read the room?", he asked.

"I'm sorry...But I am not that much talented like you Mr.Singh", I said while looking at him.

"Now..Leave my hand", I said and left my hand sighing angrily?.

We went to his house soon. I just wanna go to our room.

"Stop!", he said.

"What do you want now?", I asked him.

"Why can't you behave properly in front of your parents?", he asked.

"Do you want to know the real reason? Come with me", I said while dragging him upstairs to our room.

I dragged him inside and close the door.

"What?", he asked

"I am answering your question..Because..Mr.Singh...I just don't want my parents to think that we have..0.00001% probability to have a successful marriage", I said and he looked at me.

"Don't you want this after six months? I don't want to break them apart suddenly after 6 months...They should know we are not meant for each other from the beginning ", I said.

"Do you have any other questions?", I asked him. He stood silently.

"I take that you don't have any questions...I am going to freshen up so..Leave the room ", I said while going to closet and pick my clothes.

He just stood still.

"Leave the room for few minutes", I asked again while snapping my fingers.

"Oh..Okay", he said while going out.

What is wrong with him again? Such a weird person..I can't understand him at all.
