Am your real husband

Author's POV

Abhi closed the door entering Sitaara's room. Sitaara is still sleeping soundly. Her long butt length hair crawled over bed and pillow. Her face was covered with her hair. He walked to her and sat beside her. His fingers slowly removed her hair strands and tucked them behind her ear. As soon as her face came into view, his lips stretched into charming smile.

"Taara wake up" he called slowly. She turned her face away frowning.

"Taara sweetheart come on wake up its 11'O clock" he lied.

"Mani...let me sleep please" she mumbled without opening her eyes.

"It's 11 in the morning, taara. Everyone went back to their work places and here you are sleeping. Come on wake up sweetheart" he said. She smiled with closed eyes.

"Come let's sleep. I can't bear all their scoldings alone. You too sleep with me and we both will enjoy their scoldings" she said. He shook his head at her craziness for sleep and pulled her blanket off her

"It's 11'O clock, in a hour it going to be noon. Wake up" he shouted. She pouted and sat up rubbing her eyes. Tying her hair into bun she glanced at clock and then to her lap.
Did I see that it's 8:45?
But Mani told it's 11:00.

She darted her eyes to clock and confirmed it's 8:45. She looked back at Abhi with raging eyes.

"You! You Jackass! You tricked me. I told you not to wake me up lying about time" she screamed getting down the bed. She saw badminton bat lying at a corner, picking it up she turned to him and they began running all around the room laughing.

Suddenly door bursts out open revealing Ved and his eyes went wide witnessing the scence. His palm latched to his mouth to stop himself from laughing seeing his bil chased by his sister with a badminton bat in her hand.

"Ved..Ved save me from your mad sister. She has gone crazy..wait she is crazy already but due to yesterday's alcoholic affect she is manhandling her husband. Save me" shouted Abhi dramatically hiding behind Ved.

"What? Am I crazy? How dare you say that? You chimpanzee" shouted Sitaara waving bat at them. With a wide eyes they dodged it immediately and ran down stairs chased by her.

"Wait right there you jerk Abhimanyu Chowdary. How dare you lie to me" she shouted running behind him. Everyone were shocked to see the couple running all around the mansion.

"About what did you lie to her bava(bil)?" Asked Vikranth as Abhi hid behind him.

"He told me that it's 11:00. He lied to me about time" shouted Sitaara.

"She wasn't waking up and I needed to lie" shouted Abhi. Sitaara pushed Vikranth and held Abhi's ear.

"Taara, my sweetheart please leave this poor husband of yours. I won't lie to you ever again and as a punishment I'll get you basket full of chocolates" he said. She smiled and twisted his ear.

"Ahh... God sweetheart please no, don't do that. I'll get two baskets of chocolates" he said wincing in pain.

"50. Get me 50 baskets of chocolates. Deal?" She said and twisted his ear more.

"Yeah..yeah deal. Now leave me" he said and took a deep breath caressing his ear when she left him.

"You look cute while pleading me" she said holding his jaw between her fingers moving his face left and right.

"You look like a demon" he snapped swatting her hand. She giggled.

He heard whistle sound which is only used by Rishi, Anish and him as a code between his friends. He looked up and saw Rishi shooting the whole thing in his phone from upstairs.

"The great business tycoon, one of the youngest billionaires of the country, The ruthless, cold and Arrogant Abhimanyu Chowdary is scared of his wife" said Rishi smirking. Abhi glared at him. Everyone laughed.

"Delete it, Rishi" said Abhi. Rishi smirked more showing the recorded video.

"Nah! Nah! Nah! Let me post it in social media. It is so much fun seeing the lion behaving as a cat infront of his wife" said Rishi.

" I dare you to do that bastard" shouted Abhi. Everyone's eyes went wide. He immediately clicked his tongue and gave an apologetic look to everyone.

"Rishi delete it. Now'' ordered Abhi.

"Rishi bava(bil) delete it after forwarding it to me" said Sitaara. Abhi pulled her to him from behind making her go stiff and she shivered unknowingly.

"Why do you want it? What are you gonna do with that video?" He whispered in her ears huskily.

"Leave me" she whispered back.

"First tell me why do need it?" He asked tightening his hold around her waist.

"I'll tell you if you leave me" she said getting uncomfortable at the proximity. Sensing it he too let her go. She turned to him smirking.

"Woman empowerment! Feminism! Teaching them how to make deal with husbands" she said giggling. He rolled his eyes.

"Rishi, come on post it in social media. I'll post that video of yours in which a girl slapped you misunderstanding you as someone who harrassed her through phone calls. I don't think you forgot the words she used on you and don't forget that you had braces on your teeth which made your inner cheeks bleed when that girl slapped you" said Abhi smirking.

"Sitaara am sorry. Am deleting it, Abhi. You too delete that video" said Rishi. Abhi smirked more when Rishi showed his phone after deleting it.

"We deleted it long back, Rishi" said Abhi and chuckled.

"You asshole! Fucking bastard! Bloody fucker you tricked me again" shouted Rishi forgetting everyone. Abhi laughed.

"Don't worry if not that video, I had yours and Anish's video where you both were dancing only on your underpants in our hostel room during our bachelors" said Abhi. Everyone burst out laughing.

"You were and still you are an asshole, Abhi" whined Rishi.

"Ahem..."Dev cleared his throat to gain their attention. Rishi and Abhi turn towards him.

"Perks of getting son in laws who are best friends since childhood" he said chuckling.

"I didn't knew Rishi could speak these many cuss words" he added.

"Your other son in law is no less mamayya(fil). His every sentence has atleast two cuss words. Only God knows how much he is controlling to speak like a gentleman" said Rishi looking down at Abhi. Abhi glared at him.

"You both can use it, son in laws but look at your mother in laws they seem like they would faint anytime soon" said Dev chuckling. Abhi and Rishi apologized everyone immediately.

"So, Sitaara Abhimanyu-"

"Thatha(grand father) am late. I'll go and freshen up" saying this sitaara ran upstairs before her grandfather could start his lecture. Everyone laughed.

"Situ" called Damini, Abhi's grandmother as sitaara was giving her tablets. Sitaara looked up.

"I want you and Abhi to do some pooja. Abhi don't believe in god. You have to convince him to attend the pooja which gonna be held on this Saturday" said Grand ma. Sitaara nodded.

"What pooja, grand ma? I mean for what I and Mani have to do it?" She asked furrowing her eyebrows.

"For Abhi well being Sitaara" said Sakshi coming inside. Sitaara nodded at her.

Sakshi and her mil looked at eachother with teary eyes. Today morning they met the priest and were told that Abhi's life is gonna fall in danger and may even die in next few months. He suggested a pooja to get rid of evilness in his horoscope.

Situ went back to her room and laid on bed thinking about Viraj. She remembered even he doesn't believe in god. She used to trick him in many ways to take him to temple. A smiled formed on her lips remembering his whinings.

"Vadhina (sil)"called Dhruv coming inside. She sat up smiling at him.

"You know I missed you alot" he said pouting and put his head in her lap. She smiled.

"Today I broke up with my girlfriend" he said. She laughed.

"Why?" She asked.

"Even we were asking the same thing, Situ. But this idiot isn't telling the reason. He wants to share it with only to you it seems'' said Aarya coming inside along with Naman and Disha.

"Is it? Tell me Dhruv?" She asked. He sat up and smiled uncomfortably.

"She asked me to sleep with her but I denied her. She tried to kiss me that's when I slapped her and broke up with her" he said. Situ went silent.

"I know it's wrong that I hit a woman but I couldn't stop myself from hitting her to save my virginity" he said feeling dejected. Everyone burstout into laughter.

"Oh my god! Dhruv a girl tried to take advantage of you? That's.. that's really funny as you never understood her intentions" said Naman. Dhruv pouted.

"Tell me Vadhina, did I do anything wrong hitting a woman?" Asked Dhruv.

"No, you didn't. She need a lesson and she should know she shouldn't cross her limits. If it was mutual consent it's okay! But she tried to force herself on you which is absolutely wrong. Either it's a girl or a boy we shouldn't force ourselves on our partners. Reprimanding someone from doing wrong isn't bad and you didn't hit that girl starting itself. You tried to explain her but she was the one who didn't listen to you and you didn't find any choice other than slapping her" said Situ.

"Situ Vadhina (sil) how can you believe in him? He might be the one who forced her and she broke up with him? You just can't hear one side story and take his side" said Disha. Situ looked at Dhruv and smiled.

"In this one month I saw Dhruv flirting with women in parties we attended but I never saw him close to any woman. Even when they come closer, he will move away. I can trust Dhruv. Am not taking his side nor that girl's, am just telling him that he did right thing if that really happened with him" said Sitaara. Dhruv side hugged her smiling.

"I love you Vadhina (sil)" he said.

"She is my wife, Dhruv. I don't think your life is dear to you. Huh? Pull yourself away from her" said Abhi dangerously coming inside and removed his coat putting it on couch.

"Not there, put the coat in laundry basket. And shoes? You are ruining the rug, Mani" shouted Sitaara.

"She is like Monica in friends series. OCD batch" said Aarya. They giggled while Sitaara fixed a glare at her.

"Why do you always stick around my wife, Dhruv? Anyways, take those three words back" said Abhi ignoring sitaara.

"I love you, Vadhina (sil)" said Dhruv again smirking. Sitaara giggled.

"I love y-" before she complete Abhi ran to her and palmed her mouth. Due to the force he applied she fell back on bed with him on top of her.

"Dare you say those words to anyone even to piss me off or to tease me you will see worst side of me and trust me sweetheart you don't ever wish to see that side of me, it will be so dangerous that you may regret for pissing me off" he said in dangerous tone making her flinch under him.

"You get that?" He asked coldly. She nodded her head taking heavy breaths. He smiled and caressed her cheeks which are red like tomatoes now due to embarrassment.

"Get off me" she whispered as soon his hand was removed off her mouth. He nodded and kissed her forehead before getting off her. She sat up adjusting her kurti.

"BTW, Dhruv are you a virgin?" She asked accidentally to clear the awkwardness.

"Shit! Situ is that a question to ask? How can you behave so dumb? That's really gross asking someone about their virginity" she mentally slapped herself

"Just now you told that you saw me away from girls though I flirt with them and now, you are asking me if am a virgin" said Dhruv in disbelief. She giggled awkwardly.

"I didn't know what you've been doing behind my back right?" She teased wrapping her arm on his shoulder.

"Whatever. I never even kissed a woman. I am waiting for my soulmate. I don't touch even woman's little finger. So, yes, am still a 22 years old virgin" he said.

"I loved your respect and loyalty for your woman, Dhruv. It's rare to find man like you. I lov.. "she looked Abhi who raised his eyebrow daring her to complete the sentence"...like you. I like you, Dhruv" she said.

"You don't need to suppress your love for me Vadhina (sil). Your husband has some obsessive disorder. You don't need to take his permission to love me. Am your knight in shining armour to rescue from this possessive man" said Dhruv teasingly pointing his finger at Abhi.

"Get out" shouted Abhi.

"You should've named as Mr Possessive freak instead of Abhimanyu" said Dhruv rolling his eyes and went away followed by others.

"What was that, Mani? Why are behaving like my real husband? Why did you hover me? Didn't I tell you am not comfortable with any male touches?" She shouted as soon as he closed the door. He turn back to her with raging eyes.

"First, yes, am your real husband. We are married both ritually and lawfully. Second, I came on top of you because I lost balance. It was purely unintentional one. Third, you don't object Naman or Dhruv touching you or hugging you but you move away from me with just a mere touch. You will feel uncomfortable around me. Why?" He shouted.

"Because it's Naman and Dhruv and you are Abhimanyu" she said. He gave a boring look and chuckled dryly.

"Sitaara, this is really stupid reasoning ever and I don't want to drag this topic as I never felt to get intimated with you nor I will never feel that, so it's waste of arguing about you letting me touch you. I was just wondering about your weird behaviour around me and asked you about it. Do what ever you want. I don't care" he said and went inside the bathroom.

She sat on bed and closed her eyes. Viraj's smiling face flashed infront of her. She smiled. Her phone rang, she looked at it, it's an unknown number but she didn't lift the calls as she assumed it to be Samaira or Ishaan as they were trying her since many days through different numbers.

"Am sorry, Samaira and Ishaan" she whispered palming her face.

"This Saturday we both need to perform some pooja it seems" said Sitaara making Abhi wear his coat.

"I don't believe in all this, Taara. Just because of our wedding I performed those rituals back then but I never believed in all this shit'' he said.

"But we need to, Mani. Your mom and grandma sounded very desperate. Let's perform it for them. For their satisfaction" she said. He sighed rubbing his temples and looked at her.

"Is it really necessary, sweetheart? I seriously hate this illogical beliefs" he said.

"Yes, it's necessary. I don't want atleast you to suffer, Mani. One of us should be happy at the end" she said.

"What do you mean?" He asked dangerously narrowing his eyes. She gulped and smiled nervously.

"I mean if one of us is happy, the other would be happy eventually" she said and cupped his cheek with teary eyes"... I don't want you to suffer any pain. You are a very good man though have a cold and arrogant look from outside. You help many people and man like you should never be sad"

He chuckled at her emotional side and kissed her forehead.

"Nothing will happen to me Sitaara" he said. She smiled.

"So shall I ask them to look after the arrangements for pooja?" She asked. He nodded nonchalantly.

"Okay then, go. You are getting late for office" she said. He nodded. Kissing her forehead once again he went away. She told her mil about the pooja.

Soon the day arrived, Sitaara wore a orange saree with simple chain. She braided her long butt length hair making her look elegant

(Sitaara's hairstyle👆)

Abhi wore simple Yellow kurta looking handsome with his perfect beard.

"Fuck with this pooja, Sitaara. I've an important meeting today" said Abhi fixing his hair. She slapped his back.

"Don't use bad words when you talk about God" she said. He rolled his eyes.

"You look handsome in Indian wear, Mani" she said smiling. He smiled back.

"Thank god! You've got yours back orelse I would have wasted my money on your medical expenses to make sure your eyes are fine" he said smirking. She stomped her foot and went away. He chuckled.

They both went to temple along with both the families. When Sakshi told about the pooja to Mridula, she literally freaked out about her daughter and son in law's life and informed everyone. Except Sitaara and Abhimanyu everyone knew the main cause of pooja and are hoping that everything turns out best.

Sitaara and Abhimanyu started the rituals and doing them perfectly as priest is guiding them. Suddenly, Abhi's phone went off. Before he could take the phone call Naman took phone from him.

"It's Vinay, anna. I'll talk to him" said Naman. Abhi nodded and continued the pooja. After sometime he saw Naman all tensed talking to his father who had tears in his eyes.

"1 minute" said Abhi and was about to stand up priest stopped him.

"You shouldn't stand stopping it in between, Abhimanyu" said the priest.

"I need to talk to my father" said Abhi like a kid.

"This is the auspicious time, Abhimanyu. If not now, you couldn't do this pooja for next few months" said Priest. Just then Abhi saw Aman falling down with his hand on his chest.

"Daddy" shouted Abhi and ran to him without caring anything.

"He is having an heart attack. Let's take him to hospital" shouted Sisira. They immediately took Aman to car. Sisira was performing basic things to Aman while Abhi was driving the car. Everyone reached one of the hospital in which they hold major shares.

Aman was taken to ICU while everyone were crying outside.

"What happened? What the fuck you told daddy that he had a stroke, Naman?" growled Abhi making everyone flinch.

"One of our factories had a fire accident. Around 100 workers were injured
