Chapter 66 — Something is wrong

A week before Sakshi and Kevin’s Wedding…

Aradhya’s POV

“When will you put down your phone?” I roared at him, I’m scolding him fourth time right now. I’m continuously working since morning, and my silly hubby is still attending Video conferences one by one.

If this time, he won’t put down his phone, I swear, I will throw out his iPhone. He glanced at my angry face with a usual grin on his face.

“What? I’m talking to you,” I rolled my eyes.

A knock on the door, I opened it, shaking my head, the servant is on the door. I showed her luggage and he moved with our bags. I also exited with him and guide him to put the bags in the car. We are leaving today, as the destination wedding was the Raigarh Palace, which is booked by Alvin. But due to some issues, the palace wasn’t available on that date. He has chosen a resort for a wedding, Nicky is lucky, also Dii is lucky.

I checked out other preparations as we are out of the house for a week. Once, I checked all the mansion and important instructions to the servants with Dadi. I’m not so good to do so but Dadi is always beside me.

“Where is Samarth?” Sakshi Di asked me, I shook my head, “Di, don’t ask about him, he is continuously on his phone, I think he didn’t marry me but married to his phone.”

Dadi and Dii laughed at my comment, Dii pouted, “My brother is not so bad as you are complaining about him.”

“Really? Dii, today I will definitely throw his phone and laptop, both, “ I chuckled.

“Aradhya, we are getting late, Kevin’s grandma has called me three-time since morning, and asked we leave from here or not. Go and pull his ear and order him to come,” Dadi said with a smile.

“Ji, Dadi,” I stepped up.

Huh, still on the phone. I snatched his phone and found Ravi on the call.

“Hello, Ravi Ji, good morning. Your boss is on leave from today, dare you call him for a week,” I hung up the call and handed to my workaholic hubby, whose mouth opened because of my sudden act.

“Let’s go, Dadi is calling for you, if you are not coming right now… then I…” I tried to blackmail and he cut me off.

“Then what?”

“Then nothing, I will choose a different room for me in the palace, making sure the room is far away from yours,” I roared at him and jogged to outside.

I know, he will try to catch me so I ran to the stairs, he follows me, but he caught me, soon I’m in his embrace.

“Let’s go, we are getting late,” I said smilingly, nuzzling his neck with my breathing.

“So much excitement for the honeymoon,” I felt his warm nuzzling around my cheek.

“Kind for your information Mr. Samarth Goenka, we are not going for the honeymoon. Now Leave me, and let’s go,” I pushed him back and we stepped down together.

I don’t know where it is located, approximately, we traveled for two hours and we reached the destination place. During this traveling, we enjoyed ourselves a lot, he didn’t touch his phone for once. When we are together, he never drives the car and skipped to hire a driver.

When I stepped out of the car, we are welcomed by Alvin’s family and also Nicky’s family. Nicky hugged me with happiness and gave a short smile to Samarth. And my jerk husband hardly smiled back at her. The servants guide us to our respective rooms.

We settled in our room, we are all tired, so after lunch, we took a rest for some time. In the evening, I and Samarth started wandering around the venue. All the decorations are amazing and eye-catching. We clicked a lot of pictures, it is the time of summer season, still, the weather is so cold and makes us feel like a hill station.

Till dinner time, we wandered and strolled everywhere hanging our hands twirling with each other.

The time passed one, the next day, there will be held the Mehndi ceremony tomorrow. We enjoyed a lot the place and all rituals. I don’t know why, but I was feeling that something is not okay, everywhere happiness is covered but my heart is feeling something strange or I can say awkwardly.

I was playing with my fingers thinking about my strange feelings and he hovers on the top of me, I pouted, “Samarth.”

“What?” He chuckled and started kissing me.

After our long passionate kiss, I excused, “I’m tired.”

“No, the matter is something else. What happened? Did someone tell you something?” He inquired off sliding down beside me and enveloped his hand around my waist.

“No. Not like that, but I don’t know what happened to me, I felt awkward, something is not good. I don’t know, what is that?” I pressed my upper lips on lower as I’m giving him a silly excuse, which is not considerable.

“It’s okay, don’t take tension. You are doing overloading work, everything is in charge of you, so it must have happened. Let’s sleep, take some rest. You will feel better tomorrow,” He placed a tender kissed on my temple.

I want to say something more but he shut me off, finally, I drifted off in his arms, in the luxurious room of the resort.

Next-Day….

It was a bright morning, I wake up with the first rays of the sun. My hubby was already awake and doing his daily exercises. I jumped out of bed and I laid on his back resting my chest, loading my weight on his body, when he is doing push-ups.

“Good morning,” He greeted.

“Good morning,” I greeted back, closing my eyes, huggu=ing his sweating muscular body.

“Let’s have a bath,” He asked and I agreed. And after my morning chore, we are in the bathtub.

After the bath, I wore a peach cloured saree, he was admiring me.

“Enjoying the view?,” I gave him a teasing smile. I was only in my skirt and blouse, was wrapping the saree around my lower body.

‘Yes, of course. If I won’t enjoy the view of what is mine, then who will?” He glanced at me seductively.

“Stop drooling over me, Mr. Goenka,” I gave him a fake glare.

“If I dare, then?” He got up and came close to me.

“Not again,” I showed my palm to stop him. We make love in the bathroom, but now his seductive smile si making me fearful. He always lost his control whenever I wear saree.

“Okay,” He surrendered with an ear to ear smile.

He turned on his phone and scrolling up and down on the screen. I shook my head.

“Samarth, peoples says that if the mehndi color of the bride becomes dark, her husband loves her the most, in short, if the color doesn’t peek the darkness…”

“Then your mehndi color will be the darkest one,” He cut me off with a grinning smile. I smiled back. I completed my ook with a light touch up of make up and stepped outside. He joined me.

The function is going on good, he whispered into my ears, “Look, everything is perfectly going on, you are silly. Enjoy the day.”

“Hmmm,” I joined the other ladies. Also applied mehndi in my hands. Happiness is at the peak.

In the afternoon, almost function is over, still, some peoples are applying Mehndi on their hands. My hands are filled. I’m hungry, why the hell is this happened with me? My tummy can’t wait till my mehndi dried.

I was looking for my mom, but she is not anywhere. I huffed and sat on the sofa.

“feeling hungry?” Samarth came with a plate, which is filled with food.

He fed me with his hand, he is not ashamed of feeding me, in the presence of so many peoples. We ate together lunch, on one plate.

Kevin Ji fed Dii, he is a shy man but doesn’t hesitate to feed her.

“What are gazing?” Samarth asked me.

“Dii and Kevin Ji, what girl need more, if she gets a loving and caring husband,” I said with a bright smile.

“Yes, I’m happy for her,” Samarth responded gazing upon them.

The whole day passed in the mehndi function. Before the dinner time, I removed my mehndi which is already dried, I also helped Dii to remove her dires mehndi.

Mom and Dadi came to us and ordered me to call Samarth for dinner. I nodded and jogged to our room. I glanced on the ground floor, all the guests are jogging towards the dining hall.

“I wish, he is not taking a bath yet,” I muttered and increased my speed.

Suddenly I collided with a large frame.

“Ohh, sorry, sister in law,” He apologized.

“I’m sorry, Alvin, I didn’t recognize you are coming, it was all my fault,” I apologized.

“It’s okay. Where to?” He asked me.

“Going to call Samarth, and you?” I replied and asked back.

“Going to call Nicky,” He smiled.

“That’s good,” I smiled and we walked together to our respective destination.

“My destination is here,” I turned left and opened the door.

“Yes, you may go,” He stopped for a second and replied.

But the scene in front of us freeze us. Alvin glued beside me and I glued at my place.

Tears rolled over my cheeks, how could he do this?

Nicky is on the bed, and Samarth hovers on her. Their lips are locked. I know he was in the bathroom when I left the room, he is still in his towel only, which is wrapped on his lower body, it is his habit to tease me, he rarely used bathrobe, especially when I present with him, he never uses the bathrobe.

I gulped. Samarth quickly got up from the top of her, as they heard the sound of the door opening.

“Aradhya, listen to me, it was not like that, you are imagining,” Samarth tried to explain, we walked to close them. Nicky is adjusting her gown, looking down. She is trembling with fear. She can’t face the eyes of anyone.

Samarth hurridley put on his shirt placed on the bed, and came close to me. My mind scoffed on me, “So this is the thing, I was feeling awkward since yesterday. I felt something is wrong, and that it is.”

“Alvin, listen to me, he tried to force on me,” Nicky complained about the incident with teary eyes, she almost cried, She added, “He is rich, it doesn’t mean everyone lady should be his mistress.” She is blaming Samarth, I covered my mouth as I’m not able to stop my sobbing.

Eyes are drizzling like heavy rainfall, I can never bear that he kisses someone else except me.

I made up my mind and made myself stronger. I growled with anger and raised my hand to slap…

But before I could proceed, a loud sound of the slap echoed in our room…
