Hooked! Chapter 10
"Fill her partition with vermillion." He took a pinch of vermillion and filled it in my partition. I closed my eyes, suddenly absorbing a new energy within me. We stood for Pheras (rounds) and did the seven of them, around the holy blue flame. The priest chanted the vows and we just followed it. Do we mean it?I surely did.And i was positive that no matter what, he will definately respect me and protect me , even if he won't accept me.The flower petals falling and the low sounds of my anklets, creating a feeling of heaven. I looked at the photo- frame of my dad which was kept beside the priest. He was smiling in the photo, and probably in the heavens too. With mom."Take the blessings of your elders' now."I turned to Dadi to take her blessings but a warm touch on my wrist stopped me. Fire-crackers burst as the touch turned into a grip and i looked at Abhishek. He was looking at my dad's frame. Just like i did moments ago. "We should take dadi's blessings first." I muttered under

"Shall we go?" Abhishek whispered again, but the deadly atmosphere made it loud enough. The winds flew making me shiver and rub my hands. I nodded, seeing his disheveled face that looked as if to ignore the dead-smell but was failing to do so.Ofcourse my dad's body smelt as it was over 24 hours and his flesh started to decade. I wrapped my chunar and walked to the car with Abhishek. Once the car started to move, i gently leaned to the glass pane and closed my eyes. My tiredness taking over. ?𝗔𝗯𝗵𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗸?'𝘀 𝗽𝗼𝘃.I continued to scroll my f******k account but my side eyes fixed at the specific woman, i married an hour ago. Never in my dreams did i thought to marry someone so sudden. Someone who knew nothing about me and me about her. Her face had an unexplained calm, or the blank look, as her eyes were closed. The way she had leaned her head in the glass pane of the window, indicated that she was busy taking a nap. But she was not. Her right foot continued to tap up and down

Abhishek's pov."Now leave your prints here." Mom instructed Lavanya and She pressed her haldi-painted hands in the wall. It had all the imprints from my Great Grand Dadi's time. But why was i here? Almost all the rituals were for Lavanya and i was just following her like a lost puppy. It was merely five in the morning ( and i slept at three). I could not go back to my or Vansh's room either, because of those big scary eyes!! We finally sat on the two stools, placed opposite to each other, and a huge pot filled with milk was kept in the middle. Rose petals swam in the surface. Mom took a ring and dipped her right hand in the liquid. She rotated and rotated, before taking her hand out, empty. "The ring is in the pot! Now you both will try to find it, and whoever wins in the best three- will dominate the relationship." Mom told. What a joke! How can a mere game decide who will dominate who? "No matter whoever wins, a Wife will always dominate her husband." Sadev Chacha jested and

"Lavi, from me. Even though i have had not tasted this emarti, it looks delicious enough." I looked at Vansh who swinged a blue card. His eyes ever shined with mischief. "You are giving your ATM Card?" Sonali aunty asked wide opened. We all knew how possessive Vansh was for his finances. Vansh nodded proudly.That card was not his!! I know it. The way he was swinging the card and the smirk in his face told it all. "Whose card is it?" I asked him, serving emartis to all. Vansh pouted at my question and whined that its his. "Don't lie, or i will tell Kritika that you are organising an expensive lunch in a very expensive restaurant." His pout turned in a grumpy expression as he kept the card in the table. "Its your husband's." His tone was poker. Everyone shared a laugh at his childishness.Your husband...the shivers!!"Call the three musketeers, now. They have slept good enough." Dadi commanded Sia, the house-helper. Sia left with a nod.Revti aunty and Girish uncle gifted me a pair

"The van of the orphanage must be in its way. Lets see if there is something left in kitchen as well." I spoke."Will you give it all? I mean the ones kept in kitchen. " He asked."Ofcourse No. Its used. I can't give it now. I'm thinking to..bring it with us." I suggested and immediately added, "if you don't have any problem." He shook his head and moved to kitchen. We packed the things that we had to give in orphanage and the one which we had to take with ourselves. It was a tedious task. Even Abhishek took deep breadths in between, as he pulled the containers from the higher cabinet. The kitchen clearly had four times of the ration than in storeroom. Dad surely kept the ration of a whole year. In kitchen. "Do you have so much of appetite?" He huffed as he put the large container in the platform. I opened it, slightly mad at his comment. It was of rice."Dad loved to keep ration as he would often call his friends and cook for them. " i replied. "He knew how to cook?" He asked. Was

"What happened, La-van-yaaa???" Vansh sang. Was it their plan? To scare me? If yes, then they surely succeeded. Those horror movies are less scary than this. "You forgot that today is your first night? " Harini blinked her eyes like a chinese doll. Innocence dripping her voice.So this is the reason why i was asked to change in this red saree and put make-up, after the dinner. Such a waste!!"You all are still here? Leave all of you now." The three ran as Dadi spoke in her stern voice. Revti aunty behind her. "Lavanya, take this milk and give to your husband when he comes. Okay?" She hands over me a glass of turmeric milk. I take it and smile back at her.I enter the room with a deep breadth and sigh looking at the decorated room. Scented candles lighted the room and made it feel like a heaven. The pink petals covered the bed and fairy lights decorated the walls. Moon light illuminating from the window made it all pretty.It looked ...lovely.I keep the glass of milk in the side tabl

We head back to downstairs, with me holding Yash in one arm and helping Trisha with another. I felt like a mother taking care of her two kids. My bags were already carried to his car. Yatharth came to us halfway and helped Trisha while the toddler slept in my arms. He really could sleep at any moment, anywhere. His candy still gripped by his hands and i was careful to not let it touch my hairs. I washed it today, and i cannot wash it again! Its a big task.Once down, Trisha made me stand beside abhishek and an expression of 'awe' loaded everyone's face. "Aren't they looking like a perfect couple.""Indeed. I am waiting to play with my niece. She will be so sweet.""Hey Vansh, it can be 'He' as well. I really want a nephew.""So...Bhai and Lavi can do twins. Moreover One's poop will be cleaned by Lavi and another's by Bhai..""yess..there would be no fights too.." Sonali aunty too?"But having twins, will be too hectic. Lavi will face a hard time as well."

He looked furious and extremely pissed off, the expression of horror changed into an annoyed one. He looked through the window and hopped down after unlocking his seatbelt as he realized that we reached his place. I followed him, knowing i did not know a thing about this foreign world. I took long steps to match with his pace and he finally stopped as he unlocked the brown polished doors.I took my time to have a look of his Villa. Completely opposite to his Kanpur's house, this place screamed modesty and richness. A large pool in the right side and a beautiful garden on the other. Well, Gill's were born rich. Their ancestors were highly wealthy and it just passed down to one generation to another. Dadi and her late husband did not loved these luxurious places so that's the reason why they built an average house for themselves. As i heard the door open, i entered behind Abhishek and to say i was spell bound would be an understatement. It was magnificent. Similar like the ones i saw i

Hooked! Epilogue 3
It was just a random night after the doctors declared lavanya as physically fit, when lavanya was seeing the moon from Vihaan's baby room. She remembered how Vihaan told her that moon has his sister was sitting in the balcony, in the lap of their maternal grandparents, looking at them with a wide smile. Abhishek still tried to appear normal, thinking that lavanya cannot smell the smoke from his coat and know why he started coming late. He would excuse it for the hike in work but she knew it better. The dark patches around their eyes were nothing but a deep pain that was covering their hearts. They still slept in each other arms but they no longer shared themselves, except the random conversations about Vihaan. It seemed like they went back to the phase where they had started being awkward in the absence of any topic to talk about. Tomorrow was the day when Vihaan will be going to attend his school for the first time. The child was really excited and didn't stopped talking about his

.Her. Its a girl. A smile formed in her lips, but it was gone in the next moment. Her baby was not the prime focus to be saved, she was. How easily she chose trisha over her unborn back then. Even trisha told her that she was not upset by her decision to save her. But now when she was in the same spot, why she found her mother's decision valid? Why she wanted to give her life if it can give life to her girl?But then the moments she spent with Abhishek and Vihaan, flashed her mind. She knew her babygirl won't go through what she did in her life. She didn't had anyone other than her dad, and thus craved for a family. But her baby will have. She knew her babygirl won't be as fearful as she was. Because she will have a grandma like Revti who pulled her mumma from fears. Nobody wanted her (lavanya) and blamed her for her mother's death. But her girl won't be blamed and will be most loved, because her family won't be pathetic as them.But Abhishek and Vihaan?"Doctor!" She called out

"Now spread it like this." Lavanya slided the plastic knife over the bread and her 16 month son tried to take the knife from his mom. "Ok, now its your turn." She helped him spread the home-made jam over the bread.Once done, vihaan took the bread and ate it with his little teeth. The strawberry taste of the gem made him spin around and wave his hands in air. His way of saying wonderful. Lavanya laughed with him and quickly ate a bite of the bread before copying him. The baby giggled and spread his arms for her to pick him up and hug him. She did and kissed his chubby cheeks."Lavii, is breakfast ready?" Abhishek asked, descending the chairs while adjusting his watch. "Daddaaa.." Vihaan screamed in joy and pulled lavanya's hairs in excitement. Lavanya hissed keeping him down and the kid ran to his father."Careful, vihu!" Lavanya shouted but who she was kidding? Vihaan knew every inch of the house, even the corners she didn't knew before.She shook her head before taking the breakfa

"Shh...stop crying baby, look mumma has so many toys. Wanna play?" I tried to console my two month old baby boy, Vihaan, who was crying continuously from an hour. No matter how hard i try, he didn't stopped crying."Hungry? Is my boy hungry? Come, mumma will feed you." I opened the buttons of blowse and took Vihaan near my breasts but he didn't latched like other times and now tears pooled in my eyes. "What happened baby? Are you angry from mumma? Please stop crying."I hooked back my blowse and took him in a hug, patting his back. "My baby, my sweetheart. Stop crying." I cooed but he was not in the mood to shut his crying. "Are you hurt somewhere? Let mumma see." His tears were like a dagger for me.I laid him down on the mattress and took off his clothes slowly until he was in his birthsuit. I checked for any discomfort but there was none. "You want massage? Lets massage you!" I took the baby oil from the side table and started massaging him while making some funny faces.For a seco

The next day, abhishek took lavanya to kanpur and left her there with a heavy heart. He drove back, not wanting to see her never-ending tears. Their family tried to stop him but he just shook his head.Due to driving so much, his body was sore and he laid on his bed (after informing that he reached) to take a nap. But an hour passed and he was still wide awake. He missed his wife in his arms and the bump he will always draw patterns in. While in Kanpur, lavanya sat in her new bed as she munched in her sweet-corns, and ignored everyone who tried to talk to her."I agree she is angry from bhai, but why is she not talking to us?" Vansh was irritated. Ruchika nodded her head as everytime she went to feel the baby, lavanya asked her to leave her alone. "Its her hormones, beta. She is just upset that Abhishek left her here. In no time, her mood will automatically change." Revti answered."Lets cook her favorite dish, she will be fine." Sonali suggested and all agreed. .. Lavanya looked

Pregnancy comes with many hardships. And with lavanya, it was already worsening day by day. She kept vomitting everything she ate and the morning nausea did not let her sleep properly. Abhishek tried his best to convince her to eat even if she vomits it. But lavanya had strictly told him that she will only live by water, but she won't vomit. It took all her energy. "Baby, if you won't eat anything, how will you take care of our baby?" He said rubbing her back as she laid over him, like a lazy dog. "I already feel exhausted in two months. Vomitting just makes it worst." She mumbled, trying to sleep. "Because you are not eating anything. You want to have your milk shake? Ice-cream or anything?" He asked, not caring if it was healthy or not. He only wanted her to eat anything or it might be a problem. "No. I just want to sleep." He sighed at her answer and rubbed her back, patting it slightly. "If you don't eat four meals atleast in a day, i'm going to tell your students that you w

The two days went in a blink as the day of their reception arrived. It was also the completion of six months of their marriage and thus Lavanya performed the rituals of removing the chuda with the ladies. She was excited. One day back, she resigned from her job and decided to open her own psychology classes after they return from their honeymoon. Vansh proposed Kritika near the India gate and the latter cried in happiness. Their parents were happy and they decided to marry them in the next year. Lavanya got ready in her gown that she saved before, when arms snaked through her waist. "You look stunning." Abhishek muttered, hugging her and she leaned back. "And you look beautiful." She said, muffling her laughter, knowing he only loved 'handsome, hot and sexy' as compliment. He twirled her in his arms and pulled her close. "Beautiful, huh?" He slammed his lips on hers and she kissed him back, messing his hairs. "Now what's your take?" He asked as she panted for air. "You are

"Abhishek, it's difficult. It's too difficult to cope up with the new atmosphere especially when you are a child who could not speak properly. There were only few who would try to understand me patiently, without making fun of me. Most of them would only make me feel differentiated, as if I was not a human who can be hurt too. Just because I chose to not fight back, so my dad won't get to know about all of it, they thought I was their.. Experiment bag. They would lock me in empty rooms, tear my notebooks, hide my bag, throw water on me and most importantly, they would hurt me by their sharp language. Or pata hai, ek baar jab aap ye soch lete ho ki shayad aap me hi koi kami hogi, toh har buri cheez hone me aap apne aap ko hi blame krte ho. Koi aapka message seen krke chor de, abruptly call end krde, aapki taraf dekh ke Hass de, ya apni nazre pher le. Aisa lagta ki you are just worthless. Confidence ki toh band baj jati hai.

Hooked! Chapter 72
As lavanya opened the doors of their room, she looked at the black suit jacket of Abhishek, hanging on the railings. She ignored it, going down when she noticed that the dining table was all set with the breakfast and Abhishek was just sitting on his chair. Just sitting. When he felt her presence, he turned to look at her and for a second their eyes met, before she averted her eyes. Once again, she felt uncomfortable from his gaze. It was as if she had gone to square one. All the progress, all the steps she made towards him, were going vain. She took her handbag from the table, ignoring the shivers his eyes sent her. And before she could take step away, he stopped her by wrist and she hissed. His hold loosened and he made her sit on a the chair next to his and took the first-aid box that he made sure to bring here. He put the ointment in her wrist, on the cuts. She hissed in the sensation and he fought back the tear that was about to escape, knowing it was because of him and his an
