The Unplanned Marriage

Sharing

"Tum left side pe raklo " Rehan said after he is done with keeping his clothes.
"Ha " I said and started opening my bag .
"Mai help kar du ?" Rehan asked.
"Mai kar lungi " I said getting the first saree.
"Jaldi ho jayega . Mai kapde deta hu bag se tum rak do " He said sitting down.
"Okay" I said .
"Lo" he said giving me saree .
"Waise etni saree kyu tumhe toh pasand nhi hai . I remember jab school farewell pe pheni thi tumne kitne irritate ho gaye thi tum" he said .
"Tab option tha ab nhi hai " I replied immediately.
"Kyu tum kurti , jeans, dress bhi toh phen sakti ho ?". He asked again.
"Ishaan ki family mai allowed nhi hai " I replied.
" I mean tha " I corrected .
Shit why did I said his name . I looked at him and he seemed bit hurt or angry I don't know. We were almost done with the clothes.
"Rehan ?" I called him as he stopped giving me the clothes.
"Maine phele hi ishaan ka favourite colour puch liya tha . Let me know if he likes it 😉Wedding gift .  Congratulations Ira ."Rehan replied.
"Kya?" I looked at him confused. He was holding a wrapped gift in his hand .
Ria obviously kuch na kuch toh Kiya hi hoga ussne .
"Agar mai kholu toh koi problem hai ? Since now it's our wedding gift" Rehan asked looking at me .
"Nhi " I replied
He opened the wrapping and it was a dress . I think a red colour dress .
"Why the fuck did she give you this ?" He asked angry.
"Ek dress toh hai esmai gussa hone ki kya baat hai ?" I asked him a bit confused.
"Yeh dress hai ?" He asked while giving it to me .
And I am regretting instantly. It's not a dress . It's a lingerie . And a quit fancy one . I'm embarrassed.
"Umm... Vo .. Riya " I tried to make up a reason.
"You don't need this. Tum yeh kabhi nhi phenogi " he said and left the room.
Wtf he means by that I thought angry right now. He doesn't get to decide what I wear .
Ek second . He said I don't need this . Does that mean ? Is he telling me that there won't be anything between us ? Did he mean that ? He never really tried anything I was the one who hugged him that day . Does he mean that this relationship is nothing to him . Doesn't he think of me as a wife . Does he not want me as a wife ? Am I that bad ? Ofcourse I knew I'm not his type . But I thought he asked me to marry so he is okay with me now . What if he is just adjusting with me ? What if he doesn't want me as a wife? Suddenly my doubts reappeared. The one that I used to have whenever I was with Ishaan. He always told  me to lose weight . What if Rehan doesn't like me because of the same reason?
My overthinking didn't stop the whole day .
No matter how much I tried to distract but I couldn't think of anything else. In afternoon I got a call from Vansh.
"Hello."
"Hello. Kaise hai ? Sab theek?
"Ha Bhai ."
"Vaise ma puch rahi thi ki tum pagphera ke liye kab ayogee ?"
(Pagphera - a ritual where bride goes to her parents house for few days )
"Pata nhi . Mai puch leti hu phele ."
"Ha chalega phir bata dena mujhe "  He said and hanged the call .
I went in hall as everyone was seating there .
"Vo Bhai pagphera ka puch raha tha ." I said looking at his mother.
She looked at his father as if asking him .
"Tumhe shift kab hona hai ?"He asked Rehan.
"Kaha" he asked looking at him.
"Bhai job lagee thi tumhari . Pune jane ka erada hai ya nhi ?" His father asked again .
Job? He never talked about it to me . Aur vo bhi Pune?
"Ha voh next week Monday se joining hai . But jaldi jana padega atleast 2 din phle "He replied to him .
Next Monday aj toh Friday hai .
"Accha. Toh Sunday ko reception rakh lete.
Monday ko satyanarayan phir chali jana tum pagphera ke liye ." He said looking at me.
"Ji" I replied to him .
Agar mai Monday ko chali Gaye toh yeh Friday ke phele vapis to lene aa jayenge na ?
Agar mujhe chod ke chala gaye toh I thought.
"Toh apne papa ka number dedo mai unko call karke bol deta hu " he said .
"Vo .. Papa nhi hai mere" I replied to him and left the hall after giving him Vansh Bhai number.
After some time di came and said that we need to do the shopping today . And then we all went shopping.After almost 4 hours we came back .
I went to terrace. I really like this place. I love the sunset from here.
I put my headphones and played some music.
Agar papa hote toh kya yeh sab hota ? Toh mujhe sayad ishaan ko haa bolne ka pressure nhi hota. Agar hote toh shyaad ishaan ki bhi himmat nhi hoti mujhse ese baat karne ki . Agar papa hote toh shayad Rehan ko bhi mujhse majburi mai shaadi nhi karni padti.
Unknowingly I started crying. It's not like my father was a nice person. But as a daughter I always wish he was a nice person. I always hope that he would stop drinking and I would have the normal childhood as everyone else. But it's never gets easier. I have always craved for a man love. I desperately wanted a man who would look out for me just like every girls has a father to do so. Maybe that's why Rehan doesn't like me ? Because I'm too clingy . Maybe I'm too desperate have too much expectations from him .
"I'm sorry" Rehan said as he sat beside me.
I wiped my tears and looked at him.
"Kyu ?" I asked him controlling my sobs
"Jabse maine tumse shaadi ki hai bs rula raha hu tumhe " he said looking at me.
"Tum toh bs meri help kar rahe the . Maine hi tumhe phasa diya " I said looking down trying to hold my tears .
No matter how much I try I'll never be enough for any man .
"Esa kuch nhi hai . Maine tumse shaadi apni marzi se ki hai Ira" he said holding my hand.
"Pata nhi mujhe esa kyu nhi lagta " I replied still not looking at him.
"Job mujhe shaadi se pehle mili thi . Mai batana bhool gaya . Aur abhi turant mai tumhe leke nhi jaa sakte. Actually maine jo  flat dhekha hai vo 3 boys ke saath share kr raha hu mai . Aur abhi budget nhi hai etna ki tumhe lee jaa saku " He said looking at my hand.
"Koi baat nhi. Mai yahi rahungi " I replied to him .
This was the one thing I liked about him he never asked his father for anything. It's not like they are middle class like me . His father is a government officer. They are rich . It's just that Rehan prefer managing his own expenses. He never asked to his dad for anything like others.
"Chalo niche chalte hai . It's almost dinner time . He said and we went down . After some time we had dinner . His mother is still not letting me do any work . I don't like it when she does the work and I'm just standing there doing nothing.
I went in room after everything was done and got changed.
"Saree etni comfortable nhi hoti haina " di asked me as she was getting ready for bed.
"Ha . Bhot pin up karna padta hai" I said sitting on bed .
"Kal I think sab family vagra aa jayege toh kal thodi heavy wali phenna . Mummy ne bole that tumhe batane " she said .
"Kaunsi wali phenu aap help kardein meri choose karne mai " I said to her giving my best puppy eyes.
"Kar deti hu . Chalo" She said getting up and opening the cupboard . And stood beside her while she looking at my clothes.
At the same time Rehan knock and came inside.
"Kya kar rahe ho tum dono cupboard mai" he asked looking at us .
"Are kal sab ane wale hai na toh saree decide kar rahe hai " she replied to him .
"Sab? Bua bhi anne wali hai kya ?" He asked her .
"Are ha actually mummy mujhe bola tha ki unke samne Rehan ka naam mat lena matlab I know ki tum school friends ho and all but family ke samne atleast mat lena " she said looking at me .
"Toh kya bulau?" I asked her again
"Aap karke bolna . Actually bua thodi gusse mai thi toh choti choti baat be bada issue kar sakti hai esliye phele hi thoda soch ke  bolna ."she replied and pick a saree .
"Yeh blue kaise rahegi ? She asked looking at me .
"Green acchi hai vaise" Rehan said looking at me .
"Green toh Pooja ke time lagegi na Rehu " she told him .
"Mai bs bol raha tha " he said looking here and there .
"Ha pata hai . Pata hai ." She said and went to bed . I can't move since he is blocking my way .
Suddenly his hand touched my stomach.
"Rehan . Kya kar rahe ho "I asked him looking down.
"Naam nhi lena hai mera abhi toh di ne bola" he replied smirking.
"Aap kya kar rahe hai" I repeated the sentence blushing like hell.
"Aabhi tak toh kuch kiya nhi kiya hai . Mai sirf apni track pants le raha tha" he whispered in my ears as he came close.
"Rehan" I said as he came too close and I looked down not able to look in his eyes.
"Ji". He again whispered in my ears and I closed my eyes to calm my heart.
"Mai room mai hu agar tum dono bhool gaye honge toh " di said . Looking at us.
Well she can't see me as I am between him and cupboard I think she can only see his back . Thank God she can't see me .
"Ha ha pata hai " Rehan said as he made a safe distance between us.
"Niklo yaha se mujhe sone do . Kya kya dhekna pad raha hai mujhe ." She said mostly teasing us.
"Tum shirt bhool gaye " I said to him as he was leaving.
"Mai raat ko bina shirt ke sota hu " he said winking at me and left .
I stood there too shocked to move.
I didn't need that images in my head right now .
"Please don't tell me me tum mere samne imagine kar rahi ho " di said teasing me again.
"Nhi toh" I said to loudly and slept quickly.
