Married To A Stranger

Sreesha Pov:

”Don’t you dare laugh at me you Idiot” I yelled at him hitting his chest. How dare he laugh at me?

He is the one who lied to me!

‘Not even a single woman struck that kind of interest in me’ those words literally broke my heart but here he is, laughing at me like a weirdo.

How could he lie to me about his feelings? I whined mentally.

I don’t know why I just want to search for this girl and kill her at this moment.

From when I become this violent?

From the moment this guy started making his way into your heart. My subconscious offered to me.

”Sree” I just hummed ” Do you want to know her name?”

And kill her? Yes, I would love to!

”No” I mumbled burying myself into his chest. I don’t know how we ended up in this position. I was literally sitting on his lap. It kind of felt comfy if I might add.

Too comfy don’t you think.

Shut up!

”You need to know” he said softly.

Oh no, I don’t!

”Why?” I mumbled not moving from his lap.

It is too comfy here. I just want to stay like this forever. Maybe I need to postpone her death for a while.

”Because, it’s YOU Sree. You’re the girl who struck my interest and you’re my first crush. It’s always you Sree. ITS ALWAYS YOU” he said hugging me more making me unable to breathe.

Did I hear him right?

Did he just say what I think he said?

This must be a dream!

Just blink your eyes. If he’s not here after you did that then it’s all a dream.

An amazing dream? Nope, what is it again?

Yeah, beautiful?

Nah…

I Blame it on my English teacher who didn’t teach me enough adjectives. Hump! Wait I need to blink right?

Once!

He’s here.

Twice!

He’s still in front of me. One more time Sree, it decides your happiness.

God, please don’t make this a dream. I beg you.

Thrice!

And he’s still here. That means all he said was true! I was his crush and his wife? That is why he married me without thinking about our status differences. I grinned at him like a freaking idiot.

Who cares? I might look like a raccoon with all this crying.

Who said you’re not one?

Thanks a lot for making me feel better. (Sarcasm)

Anytime!

” M-Me? You’re not lying right?” I stuttered, he nodded smiling at me.

Are you going to blame me for stuttering too?

Sure!

”OMG it’s me. It’s me yayy” I started doing a happy dance in his lap making him laugh at my childish behavior.

Then my brain started working again. If he didn’t have a girl in his life, then who is his first everything? Just the thought made me squirm.

What? I married this guy! And I’ve every freaking right to be jealous.

”Wait for a second, then who’s your first kiss?” I mumbled looking into his eyes.

His eyes widened and a light hint of pink color graced on his cheeks and ears.

Oh my god! He’s blushing!

He’s freaking blushing!

”You” he muttered burying his face in the crook of my neck.

I stared at the wall in front of me wide-eyed and this time it’s me who’s laughing at him.

I thought he might have a lot of ex’s who want to strangle me and feed me to their dogs. I chuckled remembering my insecurities regarding our relationship.

I thought he married me because of his mother’s pressure, and he’ll leave me when he had enough of my immature behavior.

All the insecurities I felt, flew away the moment he said it’s always me who he ever wanted.

I yelped when he bit my neck and smirked which made me shiver in delight with the mere contact of his lips on my soft spot. He started placing feathery kisses on my neck which left me breathless.

“I owe yew” I heard him mumbled kissing my neck.

“What?” I asked confused.

He looked at me wide-eyed and said “I said I love doing this. What did you hear?” He asked scratching his neck.

”I heard something like gibberish and thought to find a dictionary of this language” I said teasing him a bit. He smiled at me leaning his forehead to mine.

“I really, really like you a lot Sree,” he said kissing it tenderly.

”I like you too, Karthik” I mumbled placing my head on his heartbeat listening to it makes me feel home.

“Wait a minute! Does Tej knew all about this?” He squirmed under my gaze.

Think my guess was right. I crossed my arms across my chest and waited for him to say something.

Anything.

“He knew everything from the beginning. He was the one who recognized me asking no more like demanding whether I was the one who followed you when you’re in college. When I said yes, he just hugged and warned me at the same time” he smiled.

”He can be scary sometimes” he added.

”So that’s the reason he never wanted to help me cancel the wedding. He just used to say I quote ‘it is for your own good di, just trust me’ ” Imitating Tej.

”Do you regret marrying me, Sree?” He asked out of nowhere frowning.

”No Karthik. I never regretted marrying you. You gave me no reason to complain let alone regret. You’ve been the best husband anyone could get. When I find you with Anvika, I felt betrayed for a second but just one look at your eyes anyone can tell you’re not doing that wontedly. I was just upset about the fact that you didn’t tell me about your social status for a few minutes but later it’s kind of fun testing your patience. The moment you said you liked me was the best day of my life. I thought you were forced to marry me. When I find out your social status I kind of freaked out thinking I’m not the right match for you. But the way mom dealt with Mrs. Sharma and the way you introduced me to your friends like I’m some precious thing in your eyes made me realize my stupidity. Now when you kissed me, I felt like I was born again. I felt it like a new life. A new life with you” I said looking into his eyes. I don’t know how I got the courage to tell him all these things, but I knew it is the beginning of everything.

He grinned at me and crashed his lips on mine. Again.

That was the moment I realize I was falling for husband really hard.
