CHAPTER FOURTEEN
I wake up with the chime of my phone. I glance around cracking my eyes open. I'm exclusively alone in the room. I stare at the screen and it stops ringing. I await it to ring again. It did.
Answering the video call, I keep it straight on the nightstand taking the support from the vase, so I haven't to hold it. I blinked looking at them. Saavi and Sas smile at me from the same frame, Sim on second. They are already dolled up. They are looking pretty like always.
" Why are you still in your bed? You'll get late for medicine. " Sim stares at me.
I answer her with the blink of my eyes. I'm not in the mood to say anything. He's not in the room, if I'm too late he's not in the house.
" You look sad. " Sas s

The place looks crowded when Arya parks his car along the roadside. I softly bite my lips and withdraw it immediately when I imagine his thumb over my chin. I smile. Kadam opens the door for me. I hate it when people do things for me. Feeling a little embarrassed, I follow Arya. To my relief, no one is brushing or hitting me. They are making way for us when they behold Arya. We reach a gargantuan hall, it's loaded with dresses, clothes, embroidery material, sewing machines etc. It doesn't look like a factory. The roof must be twenty feet above, the bricks are painted white. The most astounding thing is the girls who are working here, their clothes look expensive, they are looking beautiful with slim figures, as a model. I was so busy staring at my surroundings that I almost let out a small

I'm used to the look of respect and fear that my presence evokes in others. It's not merely my position that causes fear. A man is known by his deeds. I'm ruthless, brutal and more than just this. I've seen my wife looking with love in my eyes, she ain't aware of fierce brutality behind my green eyes. Only she owns that power which suppresses the cruelty from my eyes when I sight her. She knows the fighting skills, she ain't expert after all. People are vicious in this world. The mere art of punches and kicks can keep her safe for a few days, not eternal. I don't want my wife to be helpless. She's docile. After the reception, everyone will be aware of a deer in my life, most beautiful, naive and innocent. My enemies will try to paw her. I'll not mind rising as the cruellest capo, Ind

The last day was amazing but the nagging feeling is still pushing me on the edge to make a call to Yuvaan. I couldn't negate nagging feelings. I want to call him, send him a text. He has said that he'd not divorce me. I don't know where is he right now? That gives me negative vibes about marriage. He should inform me. He didn't. Arya refused to tell me anything. I asked Saavi, "Is she dating someone? She winced and denied after a couple of breaths. Now I can guarantee, she's dating Arya. I barely watch my steps as I'm rushing in merriment. I stumble. My eyes dilate as I'm going to fall face down on the floor. " Careful, " Yuvaan says, gripping my upper arm. My skin tingles. I tug my arm away. He draw

If her happiness wouldn't attach to it, I would have never agreed to attend these functions. Gagandeep is an unethical and corrupt bastard. I'll crush his throat if he dares to gaze at her. My wife is creative, especially in messing around. She needs to comprehend it's the world of the made men. She can't fight them. She'll get hurt back. Which I can't endure. She can't understand all this jargon. My phone pings in the pocket. Kadam has reached the Dhillon manor. I need details. Achraj did what he promised me. The lash of his father's action is still fresh in my mind. I clench my hands at my side. I exhale with a sound and head to our room. I push open the door and stop on my heels. She's looking breathtaking in a long red dress. Her hair is straight.

They roll the windows down, " You both have put on some fat. " Saavi says, rolling the window down. We sat in the back seat of the car. We adjust somehow. Sas and Sim stare at her. I giggle, " She said.. some fat." I say. " Are you still forty-seven? " Sim asks about my weight. I nod my head, " Lucky! I put on four kg this week. " Sas says " How did you do it?" Sim asks. " Walk! " I say. Kala gets in the driver seat, " Hello, Kala how are you? " I ask. Sim tenderly pinches me on my elbow. I shrug my shoulders looking at her. " I'm fine, ma'am. " He shuts his mouth when Achraj climbs

I glance around the table. There's no sign of my husband. My family won't come early after my insisting. The function starts at seven. They'll come one hour before. It's morning. He should be here. " Did you sleep well? Of course, you did. I was waiting for you at the dinner table. You must be hungry." Achraj's mother says. She caresses my cheek. " Sorry, I nodded off. " I shake my head. I can't tell that I swallowed a sleeping pill. " We ate at midnight, " Sas smiles looking up at her. " Hm, " Harjeet nods at her, " Take a seat, dear. " She says to me and walks over to the kitchen. Sim slides the plate of bread and settles down on the chair. Soon, Achraj, Hardwin and Aasif join us for breakfast. The

I whirl on my high heels wearing a turquoise colour lehenga with heavy embroidery and heavy handwork on it. It's truly a piece of desire, the blouse is backless with thick stripes on the shoulders. My eye makeup is reminding me of a peacock as I'm wearing dark blue lenses. My lips are strawberry pink, the ends of my hair are curly. This piece of necklace and earring look heirloom. It's a classic necklace with Zambian emeralds, rose-cut and fine cut South African diamonds, all set in platinum. My dupatta is sheer. It has heavy embroidery on the hems of it. Nervously, I bite on my lip. Yuvaan should be down stairs. But I haven't received any messages and call from him. " You're looking beautiful. " I say to Sim. She's wearing a maroon red lehenga with twenty-two k golden jewellery. She pressed her dark r

I stay away from Sim for the rest of the function. I gaze at my husband. He's standing with some people, I don't know. I feel his eyes on me, " Why is he interested in only attending meetings? " Sas asks. " He's not among his favourite people. I guess. " Saavi says. " Are you sure? " Sas asks. " We haven't talked since we've come here. He's out for a meeting and out to see the sites." I sigh. " You're lucky. You don't have a husband, Saavi. " Sas says. " As Sim is not here. Who leaks the personal details. I need to tell you both something essential. " Saavi says. She keeps her voice low as our mothers are enclosing us. " We're hearing something essential. " Sas smiles. I can guess she knows it and is w
