Arjun

Loud drums pounced the air, accompanied by cheering and singing all the way to the wedding venue. If I had gotten at least 4 hours of sleep last night, all of this going on wouldn't have seemed like a commotion. But right now, I had a major headache, and I was feeling weak. Dean had woken me up so early this morning, passing me Dad's call. We then met up with Dad and shopped for everything we needed and made the arrangements that we did not know we needed to make until this morning. Everything felt so rushed and stressful. I felt like someone out of my own body, just being dragged everywhere and being told what to do and where to stand.

As I rode the white horse to the wedding hall, the others followed, walking beside me. It was scorching hot, and I felt like a fish hung to dry up here. When we arrived, I got off the horse and dad and my other uncles prompted me to walk in front of the group. I was to lead when I had no clue what was going on. It was like attending someone else's exotic wedding. Everyone was more excited than me. My uncles, aunts and cousins whom I last saw about 10 years ago where all there, happy. Let me not forget the little strangers, my apparent nieces and nephews. I just didn’t understand how my one cousin who was apparently 28 already had 4 kids!

When we entered the hall, some random guy ran to me and began trying to pull my shoe off.

“What the—” I struggled with him.

“No, Arjun. Let him.” My uncles and aunts started telling me.

“It's part of the ceremony.” Dad informed me.

I stopped struggling and watched in confusion as the guy took off my shoe and ran away.

I had so many questions, but I didn't have the energy, so I let it be.

Someone nudged me suddenly. I turned to look. It was one of my aunts smiling back at me. “Smile.” She gestured.

I raised my eyebrows in exasperation, but I didn't say anything.

“Arjun.” Dad leaned close and whispered. “Remember your promise.”

He was right, we made a deal, and if I wanted him to keep his side of it - which I really did - then I had to look like I called for this wedding.

As the bride's family approached us, I gave my biggest smile. Acting. When I do business meetings I act. I laugh at client's jokes when they're not even funny, I show them warmth and priority, this was not any different. Her family and ours exchanged greetings and a few gifts.

“This is Preetah's father.” Dad gestured after he greeted the man in a wheelchair. “Mr Arora.”

Dad had said that I would have to touch Preetah's father's feet, but he had none. I bantered about whether or not it was appropriate to touch his stumps. I looked over at dad, hoping for some guidance. Should I touch his stumps or the floor, where his legs would have been?

Dad prompted me forward to greet him.

“Namaste, father.” I got on my knees, bowed my head and then placed my hands on his stumps.

I held my breath, was I doing the correct thing, or was this taboo?

To my surprise, Mr Arora touched my shoulder, permitting me to get up.

They led me to where I was supposed to stand and wait for my bride. A few minutes later, she came through the doors, her veil over her face. She wore a red dress with gold decor. She walked really slowly towards me, her family members behind her. This looked better than a white wedding dress. She stood out, surpassing the other women by far, the chandeliers and the hall's decorations had nothing on her. She was the centre of attention.

I turned to her when she reached me, looking at her veil, wondering how she looked like under it. Would she be as beautiful as the photo or was it just camera quality?

As the prayers went on, all I thought about was the woman next to me. Did she know that it was me? If she knew, why was she agreeing to it? All I did was avoid and ignore her in school, why would she want to marry me? Perhaps she was in it for the money, I don't know.

It was time to do the Milni ceremony. We faced each other to exchange the garlands. Although her head stayed bowed, I could see that she was shorter than me.

I took the garland and put it around her neck. I did it slowly so that I had more time facing her. Trying to figure her out.

It was her turn to put the garland around my neck. I looked down at her, but not bowing my head to make it easier for her to put it around my neck. Although her dress was covering her feet, I could see that she went on her tip toes. Still, she couldn't get it around my neck.

“Psss!” Someone hissed at me. I looked up and saw a very familiar face. Preetah's friend from high school. I couldn't remember her name.

Who would have thought that they would stay friends after all these years?

She mouthed and gestured for me to lower my head so that Preetah could manage.

I bent for Preetah and she finally put the garland over my head. When I looked over and caught dad's eyes, he was shaking his head at me.

We now had to walk around the fire. I walked in front, and she followed closely and silently behind me. For the first time since this wedding started, I didn't feel like a stranger attending someone else's wedding. I don't know whether it was the fire or having her follow so closely behind me, but I felt some energy take over me, some sense of calmness and control. Although she was behind me, she felt closer to me than she had felt while we were standing almost shoulder to shoulder.

After the 7th round around the fire, it was time to unveil my bride. We turned to face each other, and I went for her veil with an actual smile. I genuinely felt good.

I unveiled her slowly - I knew her face, but at the same time, I didn't know what to expect.

After I pulled the veil over her head, I looked down at her, but she looked away when our eyes met. She kept her eyes to the ground and looked nervous. Her face was made up and she looked beautiful. Her eyebrows were as thick as I remember them, and her lips... If I could, I would touch them.

They brought me the vermilion to apply to her head. I smiled as I applied it. Everyone cheered. As if she sensed my smile, she too smiled and I watched her dimples indent her cheeks.

When I saw her in her uniform, smiling at me, my smile began to fade. I heard the sound of the harsh whips. I darted at where I had seen dad standing. He was smiling at me.

I turned away from her and faced forward suddenly, trying to block out the memories before the others had a chance to cloud my thoughts.

Preetah

After the wedding, it was time to say goodbye to our families.

I was not one for tears. I had cried so much in the past that I had run out of tears. I thought I wouldn't cry, until I approached Roshni. I felt emotional and hurt that I was going to leave her behind. Roshni was more than a best friend; she became the sister I never had. My personal diary.

“You're going to smudge your makeup.” She smiled sadly as she dried my tears. She too was crying. “I am happy for you, my friend. Go live the best years of your life. Finally.”

I hugged her tightly. “I'm going to miss you, Roshni.”

“I know. I'll miss you too.” She told me, breaking the hug too soon than I was ready to. “There's phones, I'll buy data and video call you.”

“Don't worry, once Preetah gets settled, she'll send you an invite and you can come visit her.” Mr Korana told her.

My cousins and aunt came to hug me and bid goodbye to me.

I felt someone take my hand. It was Arjun.

“Our flight to China leaves at 10am tomorrow morning.” He told me. He had neatly shaven hair and beard. He looked manly, handsome, and bold, compared to the Arjun from school who looked shy, quiet and cute.

This beautiful man was now my husband!

It's amazing how feelings I thought I left behind 10 years ago could just be rekindled all over again like it never left. This burning love I felt for Arjun was more than the crush I had on him as a teenager. I understand these feelings now and I am sure of what I want out of these feelings – to be with Arjun.

“China?” I asked, avoiding his eyes as he looked straight into mine.

“I booked us a two-night stay at a really good hotel there.”

“Honeymoon.” The white man on his side of the family told me. “I'm Dean by the way. Your husband's best friend. I'm the brains behind his business.”

“Oh please.” Arjun answered. “Don't listen to him. He is a clown.”

I smiled at them. Dean must be to Arjun what Roshni is to me.

“If he gives you trouble, call me. At any time of day and I’ll come put him back in line.” He proceeded. “You hear me?”

I nodded.

“Oh please.” Arjun gave him a little shove.

***

Everything still felt like a dream, and I dreaded that I would wake up and realise that none of it was real. Arjun was such a gentleman; he opened the car door for me and helped me in, and when we arrived, he got out first and came to the other side to open the door and help me out. He held my hand our whole ride to his hotel room, causing butterflies in my stomach. None of us said anything to each other. I just often caught him looking at me. Whenever I did, I quickly looked away.

When we got there, he took my bag of clothes out of the trunk of Mr Korana's car and carried it up for me.

“Is this supposed to be a suitcase?” He asked me.

I nodded shortly.

He grimaced and didn't respond. He unlocked the room and allowed me to enter first. I looked around with my eyes at how beautiful, clean, and spacious the room was. The air inside the room was much cooler than the air outside, which was hot and humid.

“It's past 8 right now.” He said casually, placing my bag on the ground next to the grand bed.

I didn't respond. My heart started beating fast. This would be my first night with Arjun, so obviously we would have to consummate the wedding! I had never slept with anyone before.

“I'm gonna go take a shower.” He said, giving me his back while he locked the room door.

When he stepped into the bathroom, I quickly dug in my bag for my cell phone and sat down next to the bag when I found it. My fingers were trembling and clumsy as I started typing Roshni a message.

“Are you sitting on the floor?” Arjun stepped out suddenly. I almost shrieked. He was half-naked, just a towel covering his lower body.

My anxiety spiked. I stared at the ground, to avoid meeting his eyes.

“What are you doing?” He asked me.

I couldn't answer. Not just because I didn't know what to say but because I was too nervous.

I almost had a heart attack when he started walking up to me. He squatted down to my level.

“Look at me.” He said.

I blinked fast, holding my breath.

He touched my chin and raised my head. My head was raised but I couldn't look him in the eye for two seconds without looking away.

He then let go of my chin and stood up. “Get up.”

I placed the phone in my bag and got up.

When he stepped closer to me, I shook my head, asking for mercy.

“Why are you so nervous?”

When I didn't answer, he continued. “Are you a virgin?”

I knew it was valuable for a woman to not have sex outside of marriage but still, I couldn't answer him. Get it together Preetah! You're a teacher.

He smirked and then nodded in approval. “Interesting.”

“I know you've never been with a man before, but I need you to talk. You're too mute. I don't like boring people.” He told me. “You hear?”

I gulped and then spoke. “Yes.”

“Good. We're gonna take a shower together.” He said. “So, get undressed and come.”

My eyes almost popped out of its sockets.

“Do you want me to help you with your dress?” He offered.

I shook my head. “It's fine.”

“Cool.” He turned and walked away. He was well toned and muscular. Very attractive. “I'm waiting. Don't take forever.”

I did take forever. He had to call my name from the bathroom.

“I'm coming.” I answered.

I struggled getting out of my wedding dress, and then after that I struggled with deciding on how much I had to wear to join him. I was too shy to walk in with just my bra and panty so I grabbed a towel on the bed and wrapped it around me.

When I got in, he looked into my soul with his eyes. He did not take his eyes off of me. He took off my towel, undid my bra and pulled my panty down my legs and off.

Roshni and I had often spoken about sex, she said that it was no big deal and that I was not missing out on anything, but yeah, without Arjun even touching me, the mere fact of us being so close to each other while we were both naked, sent electrical currents through every inch of my body.

He touched my lips with his thumb.

“I like your lips.”

I did not expect that at all. Those were things we thought, not said to people.

“Relax...” He said. “Okay?”

I nodded. How was I to relax in a situation as this?

He then leaned in and began kissing me. As my eyes closed, my knees felt weak. Arjun's mouth tasted sweet, and his hands sliding from my waist and up my back made me float...

    Arjun I woke up by the sting of a mosquito. I hissed in pain, watching it fly away. How the hell is there mosquitos in a hotel room? And this is supposed to be a five-star hotel? Unbelievable. I had to squint because of the bright light. I was going to cover my eyes with my hand, but my hand stopped halfway to my face when I realized that I was laying on Preetah's chest. I frowned, did she watch me fall asleep or did she sleep before me? I lifted my body up a little and then looked down at her. She was fast asleep, her hair forming a silky layer over her pillow. Clearly, she was used to mosquitos. I looked from her hair to her inviting lips. I couldn't resist the temptation to kiss them. She stayed asleep after the kiss, just turned her head to the other side, as if disturbed. I stayed looking at the side of her face, but only for a few seconds because she turned her whole body away. I stared at her bare back, which looked smooth and had the colour of caramel. She had a mole on the

She looked like she was ready for an argument and was just waiting for me to finish my statement.She looked angry but cute. She was wearing very short blue shorts and a black and white vest, exposing her cleavage. Hmm...“Finish your sentence.” Her menacing voice brought me back.“You should apologise to her, not the other way around.” I told her, but

  • Trophy Wife   14– Beginning of the end

    Arjun Preetah looked like she was on the verge of tears. I didn't understand why she would think we would fly her father over – was it because of the court wedding? Court weddings weren't even that serious. And here she was, about to cry as if somebody had just died. “Babuji,” She turned to face dad. “You told me that father would be coming with us.” She then turned to me and that's when tears fell down her cheeks. I turned my heard away. I didn't have the patience for this."Are you really crying?" I asked, ignoring the stares of the other people in the room. Gosh, this was so embarrassing. "Why are you crying?"“Arjun, you said that father would be coming after us, remember? I asked you about it at the hotel and you said that he will be coming with—” “I was talking about my father.” I answered, my voice clear that I wasn't liking this one bit. “Why would your father come here? This is just a court wedding, exchange vows and sign some papers, done.” “Babuji told me that he would b

    Dean I felt so weak, exhausted. For the past 3 days, I felt like I've been running on reserve energy. I'm glad Arjun gave me the day off. I was grateful. Especially that I would have never gotten it had it been me asking of my own accord. Arjun was a good friend when it came to other stuff but in business — he didn't know family or friends. Even on my sick days he demanded a sick note from the doctor. Imagine. “Can't believe you really left me here for three days.” Bianca told me, cozing up to me. “You could've taken me with you, you know?” She placed a soft hand on my neck and the other interlocking with my fingers. The thing with Bianca is, she was very physical. Her love language was touch. The only time she wasn't clinging onto me was when Artha was around. I loved it though. I loved her softness and femininity. “I told you; it wasn't my place to invite you.” I answered, leaning towards her instinctively, I don’t know. Everything about her just draws me in, made me feel some k

    PreetahAfter lunch, which was pizza and cold drinks, both Artha and Babaji went back to their rooms and left me alone in the living room. It was boring without a phone or anyone to talk to. I didn't know how to turn the large flat screen on, it didn't seem to have a remote.After sitting on the couch for too long, I took a walk in the garden, just to have something to do. The house was already spotless, there was nothing to clean. I spent some time outside and then came back to the couch after I had looked at all the different kind of flowers Arjun had in his front yard.I actually missed my class. I am sure they were missing me too. If I was still back there, I would have been giving them back their maths assignments that I had marked and then do revision. It was always beautiful seeing their eyes light up after I explained something.“The kids seem to really like you, not that I care but, the maths pass rates this term for all the classes you teach sky rocketed compared to the term

    Preetah I don't know whether it was him standing so close to me, his voice so soft and provocative or his hand lifting my chin to look at him – but I was dying! “Say you want it.” I was so nervous but I build up a little courage. “I want it.” “And what exactly do you want?” He moved his hand back to my neck, which made my womanhood tingle with excitement. “Hmm?” “You...” I responded. His lips curled upward, as if satisfied with my answer. He then began kissing me again. He placed my hands around his neck and reached for my bum. He pinned me against the door as his kisses became more passionate and his breathing got heavier. He then lifted me off the floor and took me to the bed. He sat at the edge of the and I stood in front of him, he pulled down my pants and kissed my thighs in the process. I just had my top now. He stood up and kissed my neck as he pulled down his pants.

Dean smiled nervously as the elevator doors began opening. “Well, we're all gonna need a seat for this one—” “Oh, there he is!” A man in a grey suit exalted, upon seeing us. I immediately recognized him. “Trevor Noah!” I reflected his excitement. “Bosses don't need to come early, right?” He chuckled as we shook hands. I shook my head, laughing too. “I don't believe in that. I just had a little emergency at home this morning.” I gestured to my office. “Please and welcome.” “Emergency or your wife kept you busy this morning?” He said and then laughed. I shared in the laugh although I found it a bit creepy that he managed to guess it. “I can see your face saying, 'wait, how did he know, but let me laugh so he doesn't think it’s true'.” He laughed as I closed the door behind him. “Am I right?” “Well...” I kept my grin as I went around my table. “Please have a seat.” “I am a presenter, I c

    Preetah Did I get used to spending my days completely alone in a two-story house? No. Every day was the same and really boring. Eating takeaway food and not doing anything except make our bed. I even gained some weight. My joys came when Arjun would come home, be it at 4.30pm, which was rare, 5pm or 6pm. But even when he came home, the only time he showed interest in me was if he wanted sex. When I would ask him about his day, he would give one-word answers or not answer at all. Maybe he was just not talkative, and I couldn't force him to be. About my father? Babuji always gave me vague answers about how far Arjun was with the process of getting him here. I was afraid to ask Arjun directly because of how he had responded the other day.Ding-dong! That must be the guy that will fix the aircon that Arjun told me would be coming.

  • Trophy Wife   24– Hi or bye

    Preetah Arjun said bye this morning. He told me that we were invited to a show called Trevor's Ark and I had to be ready by 6pm. He said that he would come home, shower and then we would leave. He also told me that I have homework: to stream as many episodes of it as I could to know how it worked and how people behaved there. For that, he showed me how the TV in the room worked. He then left after I gave him his coffee and then I stayed in bed the whole morning, with no motivation to start my day. I only had one thing on my mind. Later I left the room and went back to the laundry basket. I took the white shirt and examined it for more red lipstick marks but there were just the ones on the collar. After looking at it for so long, as if it would answer my questions, I smelt it. It smelt purely of one of Arjun's many expensive colognes. Am I going crazy? Was I over-analyzing this situation? I hated this feeling of fighting myself internally, one part of me saying it could be anyt

    Arjun I got off the bed and pulled on my shorts. Preetah was still in the bathroom and had left the door ajar. When I opened the door, she was standing in the bathroom, holding one of my shirts. She looked so sexy standing there barefoot in my t-shirt, with her hair falling over her shoulders. At least she was beautiful. I lifted the toilet seat and began urinating. “What are you doing?” I asked, without really looking back at her. “Nothing.” She responded and then left the bathroom. When I came back from the bathroom, I switched off the lights and snuck under the covers, wishing I could pull her body towards mine, but I didn't want her to think I was needy for affection, so I didn't. After treating her like I didn't like her all week, well I thought I didn't like her, I found myself almost telling her what happened to my mom. I had never even thought about speaking about it before, but I almost did with her. Not that Dean or dad was right, but I couldn't deny the fact th

Madam Preetah said that she would leave a plate of food for me in the microwave.” He said nervously, avoiding both our eyes. “Oh.” Both Artha and I said simultaneously and surprisingly almost bumped into each other, trying to go for the microwave.“You can go...” I told her, moving away to let her pass.She took the plate out of the microwave and passed it to Steve. He thanked us awkwardly and then left quickly.Artha and I exchanged looks. I shook my head.“I think this is a sign.” She told me.“What sign?” I frowned. “Don't be sentimental. There is no sign. We are not telling Arjun anything.”She began filling the takeaway with more food from the pot. “It's only a matter of time before Preetah tells Arjun.”

    Preetah Arjun came home around 2pm with Dean, I was writing when I heard him and Dean's voice coming from the living room. They were loud and speaking over each other. I frowned, abandoning my book and running out of the room, my heart racing. I stopped at the top of the stairs and looked down, only to see them laughing and then Arjun playfully shoving Dean. Was this really Arjun? Smiling, talking, and having fun like this? I saw Artha come out from her room, tuck her hair behind her ears and approach them both. “Afternoon guys.” She greeted them as they took a seat. She sat on the one end of the same couch as Dean. “Afternoon.” They responded. “So you decided to come visit today?” Artha asked Dean. “This is my house.” Dean answered jovially. “I gave Arjun a one-week break because he had just gotten married. Didn't want to take all the attention from Preetah.” “This guy...” Arjun said and then laughed. “I'm gonna go make me some coffee, this guy doesn't even have coffee in

She got up and placed her hands around my neck. “My name is Kaylene.” She then kissed me. “Okay, that's it.” I said, breaking the kiss. “I need my bed. If I don't leave now, I'll pass out here. And that's not a good image for me.” “Sure, let's go then.” We walked out of the club, and she helped me not fall over all the way to my car. “Thank you for a lit night, Angelique.” I said as I fumbled for my car keys. “You're not gonna drive, are you?” She asked. “Call an Uber, I don't wanna die. I am only 35.” “No, no, honey. You're not gonna die, I am not taking you with—” “Why not?” Her face fell. I unlocked my car and was about to enter but she stopped me with a hand on my shoulder. “Don't be boring, let's go finish off our night, baby.” She pulled me towards her by my shirt and kissed my neck. “Don't you... want... me?” She asked between kisses. “Come on, baby.” “Tempting but...” I pushed her away
