One Day Bride

Chapter 5

Shrugging all her thoughts, she walked to the bed and removed the blood stain bed  sheet. She took the match stick, threw the paper in the dustbin and put fire in the paper, and threw the bed  sheet in the fire. She is looking at the fire with red eyes. After seeing the bedsheet burn completely, she flush the ashes, then she spread the new bed sheet and make the room as nothing happened last night.

She started removing the items from the floor when her gaze fall on the nuptial chain lying on the floor. She remembered his words 

' This chain does not belong to you '

'You don't worthy to be called my wife '

'This chain belongs to Alya'

She closed her eyes painfully, remembering his words. Then she remembered Dhruv's words. She chuckled inwardly and think in her mind:" You are so stupid Anaya, how could you think these Richie rich boys fall for you, he was using you and the same with his brother . They all are selfish, I hate you Dhruv, I hate you Ahaan ".  She pick up the nuptial chain and put it on the table.

She took the pen and writing pad, she started writing on the paper. After finishing the writing she fold the paper and put it on the table along with the nuptial chain. After that she walked out of this house or hell, she left the house in the darkness determined not to come into this hell again. 

She looked at the house, tears are dropping down her cheeks. She hardly wiped them with the back of her hand and start walking toward the road. It was a windy day and was raining heavily, she was walking slowly. She did not where to go, she has no place to call her mine, she did not to be anywhere around him or this city. She wanted to be as far as she could be of this Ahaan Malhotra. 

She was in a daze when she heard car horns, she turned around and saw the car is approaching her, it was going to hit her. She was too numb or understand anything and the car was going to hit but stopped by just a few inches apart from her body, but due to this sudden event. She get shocked and fainted. 

She opened her eyes, her head is throbbing due to pain. She hold her head and hisses in pain when she heard someone's concerned voice:" Anaya, are you okay ?".  She blinked her eyes to clear her blurry vision and look at the person, she got shocked to see ' Sia', her best friend. 

Sia and Anaya are best friends in the school, they were neighbors too. Sia was the only person in the world with which she can share everything. But it was also short-lived as Sia's father divorced her mother so, she had to shift to another city with her mother and they were no long would be in touch with each other, they talk on the phone in the starting which also stopped due to busy life. 

She immediately hugged her and started crying loudly, she is so happy seeing her, she need someone to share her pain, to tell her everything will be alright and she find Sia. Sia hugged her back, but she get scared seeing her like this, she started rubbing her back to console her. After some time when she did not hear her crying voice, she break the hug. 

Sia cupped her face and asked softly:" Anaya, what happened? Why are you like it? Is everything all right? Did you cruel Aunt or her daughter do something ? Tell me, you are not alone anymore I will help you ". 

"I got married a few hours ago ": Anaya started telling her about the pain she suffered a few hours ago while Sia looked at her with shock thinking if she was married what she was doing herein this condition? Where is her husband? , her chains of thought break listening to her voice.

Anaya continued telling her about the dreadful night:" I got married, my husband ..he r***d me ". She closed her eyes and started crying again, as all the memories she wanted to forget again come in front of her . Sia gasped listening to her, she was shocked to hear then she remembered about Dhruv. She have not seen Dhruv but she knew about Dhruv as they talk sometimes in the starting.

' Where is Dhruv? What happened to him ?: She asked. hesitantly, as she was not sure is the correct time to ask this question. 

Anaya look at her with teary eyes and said controlling her tears:"  Sia, it was all illusion. Dhruv never loved me, he was using me for his studies. He thinks I am boring and old fashion, and I don't deserve to be his wife or daughter-in-law of the Malhotra family. It was all my daydreaming and stupidity to think that a rich boy like him would love me, a girl like me who does not have a  good look or fashion sense". She put a hand on her face and start crying .

Sia looks at her innocent friend, life is so cruel to her. Since childhood, she was craving love but she does not get it. She prayed silently for her friend's future and asked her:"  Then with whom you got married, Anaya ".

" Aha... Ahaan Malhotra. Dhruv's elder brother ": Anaya said stuttering, Sia gets shocked listening to her. Before she could ask about the whole story, Anaya herself tell her everything from starting. How happy she was when Dhruv's mother send his proposal, how she get to know about Dhruv's view. Then how Alya eloped and she had to marry Ahaan and finally how Ahaan vent his anger by r****g her. She breakdown completely after finishing the story. Sia takes her in the hug and starts rubbing her back to console her. 

After some time, Sia said looking at Anaya:" Let's file the case against him ".
