RIYA P.O.V
After shopping I was completely exhausted, so, I ran into my room and drop on the bed, as instantly I went on the bed I dropped asleep
I wake up at evening, after my buzzer sounded, I off the alarm and moved inside the restroom and done my business. After a shower and wore a lehenga which was selected by Raj it was uneasy for me to wear it is because the deep neck and it is backless, it hardly covered my body but at the shop, I tried to convince Raj that it is a very exposing dress. Then scolded that I don’t have dressing sense I will dress like a poor illiterate. He also added that if his friends see, they will insult him. And it feels embarrassed for him. So I agreed to this dress only for him. I added some jewellery and done a few makeups I don’t like heavy makeup and jewellery.
As today is my engagement ceremony, but it is a very small ceremony. There are only Raj family members and my family members are alone present, I feel somewhat nervous because I was entering the new life; I don’t how I can adjust. And about my job, I need to do the job after the marriage, but for that, I have to convince Raj. He will not agree to it, I felt sad for myself. Suddenly I got an idea of what if I spoke to Kabir's uncle (Raj’s father). He always supports me. And I have to ask Kabir uncle he might help me. While I was in my thought, my mommy came. She sees me from top to bottom; I saw her, and she is crying.
I went near her “maa why are you crying, is anything happen, mom”. I asked in a worried tone. “she came near to me and hugged me. Her sudden behaviour shocked me, but I hug her back. “you are looking beautiful beta, and she told they are happy tears”. She said in a happy tone. “I may look beautiful maa, but not more than you, you are the world's best and beautiful mom,” I said while wiping my mom tears.
“I hope your father will be there today, he will be the happiest man in the world, she told sadly. Every time my mom talks about the father he will become sad because my mom loves my father a lot. She recalls my father, and the sweet moments they spend together. I asked mom why she is she not married anyone after our father's death. Then she always told me that. My mom and father loved each other from their childhood, she doesn’t like to give my fathers place to anyone, she also stated that after my father's death she wants to kill herself but she stopped because of me and my brother, she told my father left my leaving two precious gems to me.
As soon as we entered Raj’s house my jaw drooped because it is a big mansion and very well decorated with jasmine flowers. I came so many times to this mansion. But whenever I came, I only feel bullying because Raj insults me for my status and Kamala aunt always treats me like a slave.
Whenever I came to this mansion. Kamala aunt will sit and chat with their high-class friends, as soon as I entered inside the house, they see me as if I came from the other planet. They ask Kamala aunt about me, and she told them that I'm Raj’s w***e. hearing these I felt bad but I did not respond as I'm habituation of this. They feared me what happens to me when I'm going to leave permanently here.
As I was completely in my thought, I did not notice that Kabir uncle is calling me. “Riya beta what are you thinking beta”. He asked. “Nothing uncle, the decoration is exquisite uncle”. I sated honestly. “really beta you like this, Raj especially the advice to do this, he told me you like jasmine flowers”. Uncle said by not focusing on me. I can tell when the uncle is telling a lie. When uncle tells the lie, he will not look me into the eye. I can say that uncle told a lie to me Raj did not do this to me, uncle only arranged all these for me. He knows what is my favourite food, colour, etc. he knows everything about me. So I know that uncle arranged this ceremony.
As soon ceremony started Raj came with his mother and her sister, they completely ignored me. I felt terrible if they only rejected me then I don’t care but they rejected mom, brother, and even my friend Ram. But I neglected them.
Raj was looking handsome he wore a red kanjeevaram sherwani with delicate golden thread work by Sabyasachi. He paired it with a red and gold SAFA around his head, mala of red beads and a Kundan neckpiece. I loved his sherwani.
As our engagement ceremony went well we exchange our rings, Raj eyes are always glaring me they are eating me, we are enjoying, everyone is busy in their works.
Suddenly I'm caged between the wall and the person, I closed my eyes out of fear, and I opened my eyes to see Raj is coming closer to me and trying to kiss me. I tried to push him but he is stronger than me, his full body is falling on me as I can sense the curves of his body.
He leaned closer to me, started sucking my ear and biting my ear lobe. “wife doesn’t deny my touches, you look hot in this dress, I want to tear this dress and f**k until you can't walk”. He told a sedative tone. I feel embarrassed, how can he say these things to me. As I hear my mom calling me, he freed my hand and went to see my mom. Thankgod this time, my mom saved me.
I was back home before I was back, I asked uncle
about my job, he agreed he told me that he is proud of me because, he thought I will not work and depend on Raj's money, but as I told my wish, my uncle agreed and he also told me he will convince Raj about this.
As we reached my home, I went into my room; I'm exhausted, so I went into the washroom. After doing my business, I came out and hopped into the bed. Suddenly I want to see my mobile.
And I saw that there are 50 missed calls from an unknown number. I called them. Some lady lifted the call “hello Gud evening mam, is this Riya Kapoor”. The girl asked.
“ yes, I'm Riya Kapoor, what you want”. I asked. “we select you for a Williams enterprise, as Mr William's assistant”. She told in a very professional tone.
Hearing this, I jumped from my bed and dancing like a madwoman. I controlled my joy, and I asked. “when I must come to the office mam”. “tomorrow morning sharp 9:00 am, don’t be late, Mr.Williams don’t like latecomers”. She added, and I nodded.
THIRD PERSON P.O.V
As soon as she cut the call, she ran to her mother's room and banged the door. As soon as her mother opened the door she started doing with her mother, her mother thought her daughter finally gone mad. “Riya why are you dancing like a madwoman, she asked, mom I got a job you don’t have to work any more I will mom, I said.
Hearing that Riya's mom became happy, and she hugged her, you are the best daughter in the world; she stated happily. Both start dancing.
Little they know that she is entering the real hell. She doesn’t know that destiny has the other plan for her.
