"Di, taste it," Avni said forwarding a spoon of kheer to Preet which she prepare for everyone.
"hmm..." Preet taste and made a face analysing the taste of Kheer. Avni look at her like a kid with her impatient puppy eyes.
"You are scaring me, Di," Avni whine when Preet make a serious face.
Preet laughs a little before showing her thumb-ups.
"Perfect and very tasty," Avni grinned hearing praise from her after all she is a professional chef and her opinion matters to her.
"Let's set the dinner table. Everyone must be coming downstairs for breakfast," Saying they started arranging the breakfast on the dining table.
Soon everyone comes into the dining room and take their seats at the dining table.
Preet serve breakfast to everyone while Avni serve the dessert she prepared.
"Where is Veer, Preet beta?" Rajveer asked before he began his breakfast.
"He has some work so he leaves for the office early today," Rajveer sighed and shake his head.
"This boy. He never listened to me. He is having scolding deficiency again" he said making everyone chuckle as he always scold Veer for being a workaholic still Veer always defy him and the cycle goes on.
After a delicious breakfast, everyone praise Avni for her Kheer and gave her gifts as it was her first time cooking something as a daughter-in-law of Rajvansh.
Then everyone get back to their work. Preet also went to her restaurant.
In the evening
Preet is arranging her closet when she heard a knock on her door.
"Come in," she softly said. The door open revealing a house help.
"Ji?"
"Ma'am, Veer Sahab is asking for his luggage as he has to leave for London in an hour," Preet look at him surprised and hurt.
"Where is he?" her voice comes out a little hoarse due to heaviness in her throat.
"Sahab called from office," He informed her. She nodded trying her best to not show she is hurt.
"Umm, I will pack his bag then call you," the servant nodded and went away after bowing at her in respect.
She quickly pack his clothes and other necessary things before calling someone to take his bag.
Looking at the car leaving the Rajvansh Villa from her room window, she sigh sadly then go inside the room.
As she was about to lay down, her phone started ringing beside her. She looked at caller ID and frown seeing Veer's name on the screen.
She quickly received the call and wait for him to say something,
"Preet..." her body shivers hearing his deep yet soft voice. Her name always sound so good from his mouth. She loves it when he say her name.
"Ji..."
"Thank you for packing my bag," he said. He is always a gentleman. Always acknowledge others help and effort. That's one of the reasons she respect him a lots as a person.
"I..it's okay," she whispers tucking her hair behind her ear while smiling slightly.
"I will stay there for two or three days. It's a sudden meeting even though I don't any idea about this..." Preet smile as he is trying to explain himself and the situation.
"I can understand, Veer. No worry. Just take care for yourself," she told him softly assuring him.
"You too. Ok then," He said.
"Bye," she bid bye then cut the call. She hugged her phone to her chest.
"You won't let me love you and I can even hate you for that, Veer," she whispered looking at his huge portrait on the front wall.
Falling on the bed on her back, she stares at the ceiling thinking about him and their life.
(Past)
Preet is staring at her Mangal sutra while sitting in front of the dressing table. It's been 15 minutes since she is looking at that jewelry piece in a daze.
Veer's words are roaming inside her head. She can't believe she is now an unwanted person in his life. How her life turn upside in a day. How will she live in a loveless marriage for her whole life?
Veer walks inside the room after his morning workout. He looked at Preet who is sitting still like a lifeless person in front of th mirror.
He observe her for a minute and find it weird as she didn't notice his presence in the room nor move a bit from her place.
But decided not to disturb her, he directly walked inside the washroom to take shower.
Coming out of the washroom in his casuals, he look ahead but halt on his way seeing Preet in the same position he left a few minutes ago.
He got worried seeing her eyes red and filled with tears as she is looking at something in her hand.
"Preet," he calls her softly but she remains unfazed.
"Preet, are you ok?" now he is scared looking at her condition. She isn't reacting to his call.
He walked toward her but his eyes fell on the Mangalsutra in her hand which she was caressing softly with her thumb.
"Preet!" this time voice comes a little loud. He also place his hand on her shoulder making her jump on her place as she blink her eyes before looking at him, coming out of her thoughts.
"You okay?" he asked not showing he is worried for her.
"Okay?" she murmur looking at him as tears again filled in her eyes.
"No...I am not okay," she said in her broken voice.
He frown as she look at him with a hurt and angry look in her eyes while her tears are flowing down her cheeks.
She stand up and stood in front of him.
"Why did you do this, Mr. Rajvansh?" she asked as a sob escaped from her lips.
He stay silent while looking at her crying. He can feel the pain in her eyes and tears. But why?
"If you don't want to marry then why do you destroy my life, huh? Say something, Veer Singh Rajvansh!" her voice raises along with her cry.
Veer stare at her red face with his emotionless face but inside he felt his heart clenched seeing her tears.
She wipe her tears harshly and was about to walk away from there but a hand hold her wrist.
"Preet," he said in his deep voice.
"I am sorry but always remember that you are my wife and I accept that fact when I give my consent to this marriage. You have my words, Preet, there will be no other women except you in my life. I promise to always stay loyal to you and respect you. You have every right on me and my things as my wife," She smiles sadly with tears. Now she can't even get angry at him. She should be happy, right? But she is not because she is forced into his life. It is a bitter truth of their life.
"Will you give everything a wife want from her husband?" she said looking at him who stare into her tears.
"You have my words," he said with determination assuring her.
"Will you love me with your whole heart and accept me heartily,"
"I already accept you, Preet. With my heart, mind and soul," she felt peace in her heart hearing his words. His left her delicate hand from his firm hold.
"But don't expect any love in this relationship. I can't do that," he said firmly looking directly into her eyes.
"Why?" she whispered desperately with tears stunning in her eyes.
He didn't reply and turn to go away. She sob silently looking at her back as he was taking his clothes out from the closet. He walk toward the door to go out of the room with his clothes.
"Veer, will you ever able love me?" A soft and sad voice stopped Veer in his way. He sigh and said,
"Please, Preet. Don't make it harder for yourself then it is,"
Then he left the room without looking at his wife for once.
A beautiful woman with a broken look in her hazel brown eyes fell on her knees with pearl-like tears flowing down her face.
"I just want a little love from you...can't you just give that to me,"
She whispered while looking at Mangalsutra, which is lying on the floor.
She wipes her tears before taking her mangalsutra in her palm and placing a soft kiss on the V letter pendant of her mangal sutra.
"If this is what you want, Veer,"
