She is in her own world

A young 20 years old girl, sitting in her room busy completing her assignments trying to take off her mind from the things she got to know freshly.

'You are getting married'said her parents without her consent,

well...it had always been like this.

Her parents never loved her,never cared for her and her opinion never mattered to them.

It was a promise of her grandfather to get her married to the eldest son of Rajputs.

Aradhya's family has always viewed her with a sense of superstition and misfortune. Born on a day marked by tragedy, her arrival coincided with the death of her grandparents, a devastating blow to the family. To make matters worse, her mother was unable to conceive again, which only deepened the family's belief that Aradhya was a bad omen.

The family's business also suffered significant losses around the time of her birth, further cementing their perception of her as a harbinger of bad luck. This belief has cast a long shadow over Aradhya's life, affecting how she is treated and perceived by her relatives. They often blame her for the misfortunes that have befallen them, creating an environment of resentment and alienation.

This negative perception has undoubtedly taken a toll on Aradhya's self-esteem and mental health. Feeling unloved and blamed for circumstances beyond her control, she struggles with a deep sense of guilt and worthlessness.

Closing her books,she slipped into the soft covers and hugging her plushie tightly,she cried..there was nothing else she could do.

Her life has always been this way.

Never ever once,she got the love of her mother and father.

"Reyansh"Mrs rajput said softly gaining the attention of Reyansh.

"What?"reyansh asked coldly continuing to eat his breakfast

" Do you remember Your grandfather had promised his friend to get his granddaughter married to you"

Reyansh stopped eating and looked at her.The emotionless eyes pierced through her soul and she gulped in fear.

He silently stood up and went out.

The only person he loved so so much and obeyed was his grandfather.

He could die for him and even kill for him.

But his family's one mistake led to his grandfather's death,which made him distant to them.

But now for his grandfather's sake he will have to marry a girl  who he doesn't know at all.

What about his girlfriend?how will she react to that?

Sighing he settle down in his car, going to his office.

"Baby I missed you"Neha entered his cabin,her perfume spreading all over the office.

"I missed you too baby"reyansh replied her, sensing something off neha went near him, sitting on his lap she cupped his cheeks and asked"what happened Rey?"

He sighed and taking her hands in his,he kissed her palms.

"Baby I want to tell you something"reyansh murmured.

"What is it?"

"Actually My grandfather promised  his friend that i will get married to his granddaughter"reyansh stopped at his words to look for her reaction but her face was neutral.

"So you are going to break up with me?"Neha asked almost crying.

"Ofc not baby,I will marry her and then divorce her after 6 months,then i will marry you"He blurted out in panic seeing her crying.

"Really?"she sniffed.

"Yes"He replied kissing her forehead.

Aradhya stood in front of the huge mansion in her bridal lengha alone,Reyansh left her alone there.

As she thought she couldn't expect love even  from marriage.

Completing all the formalities and rituals she entered inside his room which was led by Aryan,younger brother of Reyansh.

She looked around the room,it was grey and black in colour.

Being tired,she moved towards the  bed to sit down.

"Don't you dare,My Neha  slept on this bed,you will make it dirty"Reyansh roared at her.

She flinched at his loud voice,and swiftly moved away from the bed feeling humiliated.

"You have a girlfriend?"she couldn't help but ask him this.

"Yes I have and only she will be my queen,i married you just because of my grandfather's promise"He spatted.

Tears brimmed in her eyes but she didn't let them fall.

"Don't expect anything from me in this marriage,you are my wife for just namesake, remember this.i hate you with all my heart,you bitch"he said rudely and went to another room attached to the room.

'bitch??did he just c-call me that!he hates me but w-why? because of me he couldn't marry her girlfriend'

Tears flowed down her eyes.

Changing into the comfortable clothes,she made herself comfortable on the floor and taking duvet she lay down on the floor.

But sleep was no near her,all the events of these days came in her mind.

How quickly everything changes!

Getting up,she checked the time it was just 3 am right now.she sighed..when will she get the cure of her insomnia?

She looked at the bed which was empty.

'so he slept in that room!'she thought.

Mrs rajput told her about these two attached rooms.

He mostly stays in the other room which is completely black unlike this one which is grey,black with few white designs.

As she had time,she decided to arrange her clothes in the closet.

After arranging the clothes,she chose a saree for her first day and went into bathroom to get ready for the day.

(Outfit)

She looked at the nuptial chain around her neck and caressed it.

'a loveless marriage'she thought.

This wasn't what she fancied.

She thought she would marry a man who will take her away from her miserable life,away from her parents.

She wished for a man who would love and cherish her not someone who hates her without her fault.

Opening another bag, she placed it on the table and takes out her books and organize them on table.

Reaching downstairs,she asks a maid to show her the way of kitchen.

She thanked the maid and entered inside the kitchen.

"Arey!bacha you are awake this early"Amravati,her mother in law exclaimed.

"You should have slept more,why did you wake this much early?"She said softly.

"It's ok maa,I have habit of getting up early"

Mrs rajput smiled at her words.

"You look so beautiful my bacha"Mrs rajput kissed her forehead.

Aradhya smiled at her but her vision blurred due to the forming tears.

Noone cared for her this much.

"Shh why are you crying beta?"

"You are so sweet maa"she replied making Amravati smile.

"It's your pehli rasoi so make something sweet for everyone,other things I have made already"Amravati told her,she nodded at her words.

"Woah,I smell something delicious"Aryan said smiling excitedly.

"What are you making bhabhi maa?"he asked aradhya.

"I am making kheer Aryan"she replied him.

He smiled and nodded.

"Make extra because this smells so tasty that I think I alone will eat this whole"

Aradhya chuckled at his words.
