Under his gaze (his forced bride) by Olivia Jessie (the giving tree read aloud txt) 📕

In the room she was still crying. I locked the doors and sat beside her. 

" What were you talking about? " I asked instantly. " I mean about your mother. Didn't she die? I mean killed or in an accident? " I tried to sound sympathetic but the secrets were making me restless. 

" Yes bhabhi she died. In an accident. It was papa who was shot by a thief. " She sounded alarmed, trying to hide what she accidentally told me.. . 

" Okay. And what about Arun? What did he say ? " I wanted to know about his opinion ,just to know what he grasped from the situation. 

" Arun bhai told me over call that there is lot of tension between you two. And bhai is not being good with you and you will leave if he continues with his behavior. " She sobbed slowly. 

I thought for a while about his changed behavior, how happy he was. And to be honest she was his sister and I didn't want to risk the small trust he had on me from past few days. 

" No. He is being so stupid here. I mean we are newly wed and sometimes it happens when two people take lots of time to understand each other. And we are one of those people. " I smiled at her. She wiped off her tears and hugged me. 

" You know I have always loved my brother more than anything after my parents but now I love you too. Just like him. You fit so good in the family. " We both looked at each other. And smiled. " But bhabhi, bhai is not hurting you. Right? " She asked becoming too serious in a moment. 

" No. He isn't. " She seemed relaxed. I gulped down the pains and tortures because again she was his sister and I couldn't really believe her for keeping my views a secret. And I didn't want to lose the trust. This was a mantra going in my mind. 

" Shall we take rest now? " She instantly fell on the soft mattress and I joined her too after keeping my saree aside.. 

" That looks dreadful. How do you manage a saree all day? " She asked me her eyes tired from all that travelling.. 

" Yes. It's really tough. And I have no habit too but it just never came to my mind. You have other issues to deal with after marriage and a saree is not that worrisome. " She smiled and her expression changed like an idea popped in her mind. But she didn't say anything about it. 

" Bhabhi is there any salon nearby? I have to get a hair cut. After all we are supposed to attend Arun bhai 's wedding. " The most fearsome thing for me. A wedding to attend with him! 

" Sorry no idea. I haven't been to any till now. "  I shrugged my shoulders. 

" Then we both will go tomorrow. Early in the morning. At 9: 00 because after that we have to buy dresses too. " Then she stopped. " Or have you bought it already? " She asked. 

"No but I have my sarees. More than fifteen I haven't touched yet. " She nodded. 

" Good night bhabi. " She was half slept and I too fell asleep as soon as we both stopped talking. 

The next morning I was shaken up by someone while sleeping. A blurry image if my husband was standing beside the bed. Didn't I lock the door last night? Nidhi was sleeping peacefully. 

He asked me stand up without saying anything and we both walked out of the room . He swiftly closed the door behind. 

" Why did you lock the door? " He sounded annoyed.. 

" Nidhi was uncomfortable with sleeping with an unlocked door. " I narrowed his eyes at me but didn't say anything. 

" I have my exam today. Prepare breakfast. I will leave in an hour. " I looked at the clock. It was 7:00 am. I hurried myself in the kitchen. And prepared cheese sandwich. With juice.  I took shower in just five minutes too. 

He had his breakfast in a hurry and was at the door to leave when he called me. I ran to him with a bowl of curd and sugar in it. 

" What's this? " He asked confused. 

" Auspicious for exams etc. " I filled the spoon with it and took it to his mouth. He watched me for a second and I regretted my idea but he finally ate it. 

" All the best. " I wished him smiling. He grabbed my mouth and kissed me. His lips sucking mine. My breath stopped. His hands caressed my lower back with him eating my mouth. 

" Last night was worst. I missed you in bed. Don't do that again. And never lock doors on me. I have keys. " He smirked licking his lips. My mouth tasted of yogurt. 

I nodded. He turned to leave but stopped. " I am leaving the door unlocked. Don't try to do anything stupid. My sister is here. " I again nodded. 

He finally left. I closed the door and went back again to wash my mouth. Just then Nidhi came stumbling in the kitchen. 

" Good morning bhabhi. " She sat on a chair. 

" Morning. " I placed two cups of tea and two sandwiches on the table. She smiled. 

" Thank God. I freshened up and brushed my teeth or else I would have missed it. " She said picking up one of the sandwich. 

" Oh here I am bathed and no brush. " I laughed. She watched me with blank eyes but then laughed. 

" Why?? " She asked laughing

" Because your brother has an exam today and he woke me you at the exact time. I used the washroom and took a shower but no time for brushing. " 

"Yes bhai had an exam today. " She sipped her tea. " Bhabhi hurry up we have to go to saloon. And then shopping. " She was excited. 

" But your brother is not home and I can't leave the house like that. " She frowned listening to me. " I mean I don't have keys to lock the front door " She nodded her head. 

" Not a big deal bhabi. I know where they are. Let's get ready. " 

" Yes take a shower. And I will wash the dishes till then. I am ready. " I told her. She was shocked and gave me a " Are you serious"  look . 

" Please bhabhi no saree. Please. " She requested. 

" But I don't have anything else Nidhi. And don't I look good in them? " I asked her pretending to be hurt. 

" No you look gorgeous but I want you to try one of my dresses. " I shook my head in no..
