Under his gaze (his forced bride) by Olivia Jessie (best ebook reader for laptop txt) 📖

" Nidhi you called last night? And did you talk Mihika? " He asked gripping the steering wheel till his knuckles went white. 

" What happened to your fingers bhabhi? " Nidhi asked cutting him off. He pressed his lips closer. Because he had no answer to that. 

" Bhabhi? What??" Arun turned at us and asked looking confused. 

" Yes. She has been hiding the fingers under her saree but I just saw them now. Are they broken? " She inquired. I hesitated. Oh god, I just needed to leave the place and be safe. 

" What? Broken? " Arun was shocked. " Bhai stop the car. " He instantly ordered. 

" It's nothing serious. She accidentally walked into a door and got her hand stuck in it. " He tried to get away with an excuse. 

" No. Bhai. It's serious. Wait. " Arun touched his arm. And he stopped the car. Arun came out and opened my door. 

" Show me, bhabhi. " Arun asked for my hand. I looked up at him and then at my husband. He was clenching his jaw. He finally released the steering wheel and shook his head. 

" It's really okay. Arun. I am fine. " I replied in his favour. I needed to be on his side till we reach the venue. 

" They are broken. You need proper bandage and medication. " Arun replied finally grabbing my hand and looking at my exposed fingers. 

" No. I already did the cleaning. It's fine. " He said frowning and starting the engine. Arun sat beside him. Now we all were quiet. Each one of us had our own things going in the mind. To ease out the situation in midway, Nidhi gave me one of her earplugs. And we watched a web series. 

" Bhai let's have a break here. " Arun said when he noticed a highway dine in place. Nidhi too suggested and  I kept quiet. 

" Fine. But don't waste time. Mihika and me will stay here. Her hand is injured. " Both of them nodded. And went out to get something to eat

" What did you talk to her? Huh? " He asked watching me through the mirror. " This was your plan. Wasn't it? " He laughed. A spine chilling laugh. " Smart. " He lifted his brows in amusement. 

" No. We didn't talk about anything. " He gave me a weird look. And turned to look at me. All of sudden, he pressed his hand on my broken fingers. I cried in pain. Finally he let them go. 

" I am feeling the same. Being hurt intentionally. When you know my weak points. " He gave me a disgusted look and grabbed my arm. " Listen very carefully. If you try anything stupid, then I will have to do something very bad with you or your family. " He was further threatening me but Arun knocked on the window holding two ice creams. 

" Bhai this one is for you and this is for you bhabhi. " He handed me mine very carefully. I hated the look he gave me, sympathetic one. 

I was not a victim. Or was I? 

After we finished with our stop rest and snacks, he again drove on the highway. This time finally making it to the destination. The first thing which I noticed in the village was, the bus stop. It was far away from the house. I would have to run to come here on time. I thought. The second was lack of any public facility especially police. 

It was really backward. Finally we stopped in front of a big house. It was decorated but not much. Women were doing their chores and kids playing in the Hall. A perfect marriage scene. 

 " They are here. Bhai and bhabhi." A teenaged girl screamed looking at the car. Few women smiled at me. Although they were greeting only Nidhi, Arun and my husband. 

He held my arm and we began walking. When a voice stopped us. 

" Dr. Leave your wife's hand here. It's awkward. " A woman laughed. I looked up at her. She walked closer. " I am your buaji. Arun's mom. " I touched her feet. " No. Please. That makes me feel old. " She smiled and hugged me. He too touched her feet. And she touched his forehead. 

They began talking about why we didn't come early. And she was missing him so badly. At that moment, I caught a glimpse of someone known. And I ran towards the person. Not believing my own eyes. He ran after me. Maybe his instincts but I didn't care. 

I touched the person's shoulder and was met with exciting eyes. 

" Mihika di. " 

" Diya!! " We both hugged each other and I watched my husband's pale face sweating looking in a different direction. I too followed his gaze and there were my papa and uncle too. 

Our eyes met and we both knew what was going in our heads at that time..
