Under his gaze (his forced bride) by Olivia Jessie (bearly read books .txt) 📗

Before he could say something to me, Arun tapped on my shoulder. With lots of doubts I turned away and walked towards the counter. I found my husband's reaction upon seeing me quite frightening. I could sense the air of doubt. The question who I was looking at rang in the environment. Only he and me could understand it, others seem unaffected. 

Finally he turned his stare towards the cashier and took the bag and receipt. He stopped letting me come in front of me and then resumed walking. Him behind me caused a surge in panic attack throughout my veins. Although Arun tried to ease out the environment in the car because by now he too started to feel a bit worried. 

"That's it bhai. I will take a cab from here. I had already booked one. " I felt my heartbeat  thundering in my chest. 

" Okay. Take care " He replied without any emotions. I dare not to look at him neither Did Arun. 

" And please be early in the wedding. I will be waiting for you or else I won't attend my own wedding. " He laughed on his own. I smiled for a second . 

" Yes. I will. " Arun sat in the cab and turned to a different direction. I could hear my gulping of saliva. He drove the car without saying anything although I could see the glow of madness in his eyes. How badly I wanted to jump out of this car and run away. Even away from my own self. 

Finally the cursed house came into view. I tightened my grip on my saree. He within a second went out and opened my side of the door. I without further fuming his anger went out. He closed the door loudly. And grabbed my arm. 

" Listen! I didn't do anything this time. I promise " I cried and my legs shook. 

" Oh really? Didn't we both see the waiter, I mean the manager at the store? Weren't you both looking at each other? Didn't you try to talk to him? Am I a fool or an asshole? " He screamed at my face. 

" I am sorry. I reallyyyyy... " He grabbed my head and held it against the wall and gave two swift punches on my right abdomen. I was sure I will pee blood next morning after the damage to my kidney. 

The pain was so sharp but he slapped my left cheek and gave another pain. I cried, my eyes burnt. 

I felt the pain easing out of my body. The lies! Yes the lies, your family told mine, the vows you took during the wedding . The facade you wear to the outer world. The lies. 

Some ringtone caught my attention. My vision was blurry but I wiped off my tears. I glanced at the screen. 

It was a number. A known number. My sister's number. She was calling me. 

I put all the efforts to stand up but the kidney shot a pain throughout my whole body. I stretched my hand to grab it . And it was now my in my hands. I slid the accept button. 

" Hello." Her sweet voice echoed with my mother's whispers in the background.
