Six Months Ago
"What are you talking about?" I whispered embarassed as I excused
myself and hurried down the street in the city trying not to bump into
all the buisness men at this hour. Did they have to look so grumpy and
terryfying?
"I swear it was him ri , just check it out," whispered aayesha clutching my
arm. I scoffed where did she even hear that from. anuraag (anu) and I had been
together for nearly four years now and now she tells me she thinks he's
been cheating on me the whole time. The whole four years without me
knowing?
Defintiely not.
That was just absurd I tell you!
"Look aayesha , You have the wrong person. Why would anu cheat on
me? We've been together for four years in a week's time. If he wanted to
then he would have dumped me ages ago!" I snapped.
aayesha sighed grabbing my arm and moving me out of the way as a
busload of more people got off. It was cold and wet as we raced to the
tram and boarded it. It was a half hour journey to our homes that were
thankfully a fair bit away from the city to avoid all the noise and
pollution.
"Cause you're beautiful, rich, and whoever marries you gets not only all
your money but also fame and popularity!" she snapped. I sighted sitting
on the seat. I just didn't believe her, I didn't want to either.
If this was anyone else I would have slapped them as soon as I heard
such a thing. But this was aayesha , someone I grew up with and shared my
best and worst with. She was the same when I told her about her crush
not being the best, she hated me for it but when she found out about it
and that it was true, she realised how love could make you.
I mean we've been together, this feeling was love right?
"Fine," I muttered. Taking out my phone I sent anu a quick text.
Where are you?
xxri
aayesha smiled and tapped her leg impatiently like she does when she gets
nervous. My phone vibrated and I smiled reading the message. See I
knew anu would never do such a thing.
At work
see you tonight love
aayesha grabbed my phone from me and swore under her breathe and I
raised my eyebrow.
"See, I t-" she grabbed my arm pulling me up.
"What are you doing?" I asked as she pressed the buzzer and the tram
stopped dragging me off. I looked around, it was only a street or two
away from where we lived. Actually this was near anu 's place.
"What are you doing aayesa !' I snapped as she dragged me across the
footpath her grip too hard.
"Going to knock some sense into you," she said. I looked around the
massive mansions my palms sweaty as I realised she was taking me to
anu 's house. It wasn't as big as the other but a small cozy house that
he inherited from his grandparents.
"That's spying!" I snapped.
aayesha shrugged pulling me fasted, "He say's he's at work and you're his
girlfriend anways, it wont be spying," she snapped.
I nodded but somehow I felt uneasy down under. The closer we got the
more nervous I felt. Why? anu would never do such a thing. Why
would he? And he would have never married me for my money or
fortune, he just wasn't like that. Instead of taking me towards the front
door she lead me to the side windows that saw right into the lounge and
kitchen area.
"aayesha I reall-"
"Shut up ri , You have to stop being so trusting innocent and naive.
You're twenty now. You need to stop trusting people so easily and
thinking everyone is good!"
I bit my lip frowning, "But I am not naive," I whispered back.
"Says the girl that nearly gave a hundred dollars to the charity on the
street that claimed pigs were endangered animals," snapped aayesha. I
shrugged, you never know they could be.
She pulled me over to the window with a grim face and pointed towards
it. I sighed, what was the worse that could happen. Nothing I would find
myself peering in to see a nice emoty house and, and a guy and a girl!
I blinked hardly and looked back in and sure enough there was anu
sitting with someone by the fire.
"I told you ri," said aayesa softly her arm on my shoulder. I shook my
head, no it can't be. This is anu !
"That's just his, friend." I said. I could feel my body numbing and my
eyes watering. It was just his friend I told myself but I saw him move in
and their lips touch and that was when my heart broke. I had finally
found out what true pain felt like.
Present Time
The door flew open and I sat up quickly only realising it was aayesa and laid back
against the couch.
"I thought it was the stupid French lady," I muttered. aayesa 'tsk'ed me and sat
down elegantly in the opposite chair. Without her I would have never survived
the past six months with stupid tea parties every day and a party nearly every
week.
Was this was rich people's lives were like? Boring and filled with a routine you
couldn't break?
"Are you excited?" she asked smiling and picking up a cushion she was
knitting on. I wrinkled my nose in distaste, she was acting like she came out of
the olden ages but knitting and sewing had always been her hobby and who
was I to judge?
"For what?" I asked sighing. My body ached and all I wanted to do was go to
sleep in a hot pool. aayesa glared at me and I frowned, was I forgetting
something?
"arjun is coming home!" she snapped loudly. I sat up.
"Your husband woman!"
"Oh yea," I said sighing. The guy I met only 30 min till our narriage happened
and then spent 5 minutes in the car with before he left to the airport to finish
his course. I couldn't even remember the way he looked!
aayesa sighed putting down her stuff and crossing her legs and smoothing the
material over her knees.
"Look ri , I know you don't like this but we both know the reason you had to
marry him. It can't be that bad. He's a nice man, rich, powerful and not to
mention god damn good looking or have you not been reading the paper lately?" she asked.
I nodded quietly, no I haven't read any papers lately but I wasn't going to tell her
that and sign my death note myself. I had reasons to why I said yes, but why on
earth did he accept to marry me as well.
Was the promise in his generations before as strong as mine. I had no choice
but to marry him, that was my ultimatum marry him or say goodbye to everything
and everyone and thrust into a dark life
But if these past months were anything of what was coming up, I really didn't
want this. I would have chosen the darker life over this boring routine one.
There were times when I went to the beach, the movies, the carnival with friends
now all I went to was the backyard or some rich and famous's house.
Not only had I lost all happiness in life I had also lost my health becoming weak
and frail, I never knew that a lack of happiness could change a person entirely
and somehow I wasn't as convinced as aayesa that all I needed was a husband
to cheer me up.
A husband that left for six months and probably found some other person to hook up with and was going to ask me for a divorce the second he
came in.
"Well get ready, he's going to arrive any time soon," she said standing up. I
sighed standing up and tying my hair into a tight bun. I suddenly felt like a
granny or an old woman not a twenty-one year old. Even my birthday was
celebrated between people I had no clue who they were.
We walked to the front door where the maid and butler were waiting just as a
limousine pulled up through the big white gates. My heart was thudding in my
chest and U felt nervous.
How were you meant to greet a man you have barely met. How were you meant
to great a man that was your husband for six months and you only knew him for
an hour at the tops. How were you meant to great a man that you would spend
the rest of your life with.
The answer I did not have,
The door opened and one shiny boot followed the other as he stepped out and
aayesha squealed next to me pinching my hand as my breathe stopped.
That was him?
next-ariya face to face after 6 month.
so how 's it.hit like and comment.for pm buddy me.
love all
aarti😊
