Raj POV:-
My wife and I are sitting in our bed in each other arms.
I am so happy when I saw Tanish's smile again.
In these years, he never smiles after Teja had her first miscarriage.
He started one-night stands again with random girls except for one girl, Srishti.
I know she becomes CEO of his dad's pharmaceutical company.
She made her parents proud as her company become the no.1 company in India, London, and France after she took over the company.
I know you guys wondering why I choose Teja when I can choose Srishti as she matched our status and perfect in everything and the perfect wife for Tanish.
Even, I started to hate her then, why?
Let me tell you.
Flashback:-
I took Rajshree with me and laid her on the bed.
She is suffering more after Teja rejected our proposal.
I hate seeing my wife so worried and in pain.
" Rajshree, why are you thinking about her? We can choose Srishti for our son. Then why are you desperate to choose Teja as our daughter-in-law? Why? " I asked.
she took my hands in hers and said, " Raj, did you saw our son smile after her miscarriage? " She asked, l and I think for a while and shook my head as no.
" That's why I didn't choose Srishti. First of all, she can't make our son lively. Second, she is a s**t. She had a physical relationship with our son. Yes, Teja lost her virginity with Tabish but, she was forced to. " Rajshree explained, and She is right.
" You are right, Rajshree. But the problem is Teja already rejected our son. " I said, and she sighed.
" Do you forgot about Kaya? I am sure she will let her agree to this marriage. We both know very well that Teja is lost her pride in this society and no one will accept her. Tanish loves her. This only reason makes Kaya agree. " Rajshree explained and, I nodded.
" You are right, Rajshree. I want my son happy, even if I have to beg Teja for this marriage then, I will. I know, we are becoming selfish but, every parent becomes selfish for their child's happiness. " I said, and she smiled.
Flashback ends.
" Did you see Raj, after so many years, our son smiled in happiness? " Rajshree said, and I kissed her neck.
" Yes, dear. You are right. Teja is perfect for our son. I am sure, he will change after marriage. Teja's name made him giggle. He is in deep love and I am sure, Teja changed her. This marriage surely changes everyone's life. After all, we are going to talk about our only son's marriage and Kaya's last daughter who is about to get married. " I said, and she smiled.
I kissed her templed and said, " I think, we should sleep now. After all, we have a lot of work for our son's marriage. " I said, and she giggled.
" You are right, good night love. " My dear wife said, and I smiled.
" Good night, my love. " I replied and we slept in each other's arms.
Next day:-
Teja POV:-
I woke up with a terrible pain in my head.
I had a nightmare.
Well, they came every day, after my miscarriage.
I saw when I was kidnapped, also my car accident and my school insults.
They didn't let me sleep.
I don't know, how I will manage everything after my contract marriage with Tanish.
He will ravish me as I saw the lust in his eyes always.
After, what happened 6 years ago made me lose physical contact with males.
I am scared of males except for Akaash.
Only Akaash touches are comfortable for me as he never touched me inappropriately.
He hugged me, kissed me but on the forehead, and cheeks.
He kissed me on the lips once because of alcohol and I had a panic attack.
He managed it very well and after then, he never kissed me.
He apologizes to me a lot even I said to him that I forgive him. But, still.
I am missing Akaash.
We have different departments.
But, strange he didn't even message or called me since we come back.
Maybe, he got busy with his family and job.
I understand.
I don't want to talk to him even because this will led me weak and maybe I exposed my contract marriage with him.
I don't want that.
I entered my room and did my business.
I wore a bathrobe and come out of the bathroom.
I took out my suitcase and wore a red suit with red leggings and a red dupatta.
I don't know why, but I think he will come today.
After all, he wants our marriage as soon as possible.
I left my room and come to my home temple.
I worshiped and wore the tika.
I come to the hall and saw mom, Bubbly, stepdad, and grandma.
I don't know, but I don't want to call him dad anymore.
After what he did to me.
" Mom, I will make breakfast for everyone. " I said and mom nodded.
I made Tikki (cutlet), bread pakode, and milk tea for everyone.
I took everything outside on the dinner table and saw everyone sit on their seats.
" Why did you made this, when you know very well that your mother is severely ill. " Stepdad said, and I huffed.
" because I want her to eat this today. So, when her treatment starts, she will not able to eat these things. She has to eat light food, like porridge, sou, etc. So, let her enjoy the food today, Mr. Baghel. " I explained, and I saw him angry.
I ignored him and served everyone their breakfast.
Everyone eats breakfast in a tense environment.
When we finished, I took everyone's plates and come to the kitchen.
I washed the dishes and cleaned the house.
When I finished the chores, I saw the time which shows 10 in the morning.
I washed my face and hands and come outside and saw Mom is talking with someone at the door.
" Mom, who is it? " I asked and mom got side and revealed Tanish.
I got shocked as he is looking at me with lust, love, and obsession.
He wore a black suit with a red shirt beneath.
He is looking handsome as always.
But, only I know his true face.
He entered and uncle and aunt entered afterward.
" Uncle, Aunt! " I said and hugged them.
" How are you, aunt? " I asked worriedly.
" I am better, dear. I am suffering from a migraine. " Aunt said, and I sighed in relief.
" At least, she is not suffering from any terrible disease. " I thought.
" Please, come in everyone, and have seat. " I said and run towards the kitchen.
I filled glasses with water and come outside and give everyone water.
When I come in front of Tanish, he gave me his evil smirk.
I got scared inside but, didn't show on my face.
" So, what will you guys drink? Coffee, tea, lassi, or lemonade? " I asked.
" Oh, dear. Whatever you will like for us. " Aunt said, and I nodded.
I entered the kitchen and made those dishes, I made for breakfast.
I finished my task and about to take the plates in my hand, which were filled with a cup of tea and fast food.
When, someone wrapped their hands on my waist, and I jumped.
" Stay in your place. " A male said in my ear and, I recognized the voice.
It's Tanish.
I felt uncomfortable and I felt my panic attack is coming but, I control on my emotions.
" Tanish Ji, please release me. I have to serve your family. " I said.
" Tanish Ji, not bad. So, you started your practice immediately. I am impressed. " He said in my ear and released me.
I sighed in relief and took the plates and left.
I served everyone and they praise me for my cooking skills.
" Teja, sit dear. " Mom said, and I sit beside Tanish.
He entered the hall after me.
" Teja, we are here for the marriage proposal dear. So, you know Tanish very well. What do you think about this proposal? " Uncle asked, and I gulped.
