POV: Arha Deewan
I jerk open my eyes, sweat glands on my forehead. I steady my breathing as i try make sense of where I am
I get up from the king size bed i was sleeping on and go to the window in the corner of the room. It is the only source of light in the room, everything is black or grey in colour, including doors and window frames.
I see a forest area outside of the window. Weird Ideas pop up in my mind like opening the window and jumping out of it instead of going through the door and facing whatever is waiting for me. Yk i mean like facing that height like Eiffel Tower guy.
I am more than grateful for him to save me and keep me safe here. I am still wearing my wedding attire which means he didn't take advantage of me while i was unconscious.
While i am busy thinking about all this, the door opens, it's sound barely audible, my heart skips a beat. I didn't turn but i know it's him. You ask, how do I know? I don't know it's just like I can feel it in the air and how it shifts when he enter.
"your up?" He says, his voice deep and husky, deeper than last night. "Ur blind or what, iam standing which means iam awake, can't you see that" my subconscious mind mocks him.
I slowly turn and look into eyes which are dark brown in colour, sharp jawline, thin pink lips, and height like Eiffel Tower.
I say "y-yess" now looking everywhere but his eyes or face. He starts walking towards me. It barely takes him 4 to 6 steps to reach me.
"Sit on the bed" he says while taking a seat on the couch beside window. I sit on the bed and "thanks for saving me, I am more than grateful for you" I say, looking into his eyes which is a hard task.
"Your welcome" he says flatly. There is an awkward silence between us before he speaks.
"Why did you run away from your wedding" he says, catching me off guard. Should I tell him? "Huhh i got to know that he is already married twice and he is marrying me to ruin an another girl's life. I tried to tell my family but they didn't believe me" I explained like it's the most natural thing in the world.
Ofcourse, why would they believe their own daughter. My relatives accused to me of having another man and trying to put some fake allegations on that bastard.
He simply nodded without pressing farther. "So, what are you gonna do now like do you want to go back to that house who didn't believe u" he asks, leaning forward and i just stare at the floor, even I don't know what iam going to do next.
After a long pause, i say "can you get me a phone, i left my phone in that car." He nodded and stood up, going towards the door-i did the same, following behind him. He paused at the door and said "i will send the phone and pair of clothes for u to change with maid." With that he left before I could thank him.
::::::
After a while, the maid comes and gives me the clothes and phone, i asked for. I change my clothes, sit on the couch and dial my younger brother number. First ring.... Second ring.... "Hello" he says, "aarav it's me." "Didi, where are you, first of all are you safe?, did that bastard's guards harm u?" He whisper-yells, all in one breath. "Aarav listen, iam safe and about the guards, they were about to harm me but someone saved me in time." "Ohh, glad to hear that ur safe didi that's all that matters" he says, feeling relieved.
"Aarav, what is the situation at home." I ask, knowing very well that they are regretting my birth. Signing he says "worst didi, everyone is more worried about reputation than you, they are not even trying to see from your perspective, ma and papa are furious and chachi is adding fuel to the fire."
"What should I do now aarav?" I ask, feeling lost. "For now, stay somewhere didi-i will tell you when they calm down and forget about all this then you can come and explain but where will you stay?" He says, even i don't know where iam going to stay but i assure him that iam going to stay at one of my friend's house and cut the call.
He didn't sound convinced but didn't ask more knowing that i won't tell anything.
Hours pass by like that, me banging my head on the wall and regretting my life decisions. Someone knocks on the door and I say "come in" the same maid who gave me clothes and phone steps in with her head lowered. She says "mam, sir is calling you for lunch" then leaves without waiting for a reply.
I get up and after fixing my dress and hair i step outside. The outside's interior and furniture is also same in colour, black or grey but I like it-it's giving royal and mafia house vibes.
Then I see him, seated at the dining area and someone showing him something on a laptop but he is not giving much attention to it.
I go down the stairs, his eyes fall on me and i give him a slight smile. The guy beside him excuses himself and leaves. "Sit" he says, gesturing to the chair beside him and I did. The maids serves us and leaves. Now we are alone, eating in silence.
I decided to break the awkward silence. "i called my brother, he said it's better for me stay somewhere else for now and then when they calm down, I can go to them and explain everything. So, tomorrow iam going to leave. Once again thankyou so much for everything you did." I tell and he gives me a small smile which didn't reach his eyes.
I don't know why but iam feeling this strange emotion which i express in words. Then suddenly he says, "well here's a thing, do you want to marry me and come to Rajasthan?" I just stare at him like he has grown two heads, my brows frown. Seeing my confusion, he explains "look, iam not forcing u to marry me and come to a whole different state. It's totally up to you if you want you can or you can stay here in my house, no one ever finds or knows about you, as this house is in the outskirts of Hyderabad"
By the time he completes, iam totally shocked. Is this for real? Is he serious?
He even left me with a option which my own family never did. "But you have to decide by night, tomorrow evening iam going back to Rajasthan. If you want to marry me, today night let's get married, trust me I will never make you regret this decision" he tells, leaving me in Total shock and confusion. Now the question is "can i trust him!!?"
