It was 2am, the couple was sleeping on the bed. Suddenly, Akshu woke up and looked around. She was not in her senses.

Sitting on the bed, her eyes rolled as she tried to figure out the surroundings. She noticed the figure sleeping beside her.

Her expressions changed, hands firmly attached to the bed, she put her full force and kicked the sleeping figure.

The kick landed on Veer's bum, and he rolled down to the floor.

[Sorry Veerji😭🤣🤣]

Veer gave an abrupt jerk. When he blinked his eyes, he saw that he was kissing the floor.

[What the hell Veer! Shaadi ke dusre din patni ke jagah floor ko kiss kr rhe ho]

"Mai kaise yaha aaya." he said, rubbing his palm in confusion. When he turned to face his wife, he noticed her standing there approaching him.Akshu stood up and made her way over to Veer. While Veer, puzzled by his wife's actions.

As Akshu stepped on top of Veer, Veer pressed his knees closer. It was an abrupt response to what Akshu had done.

Veer's let out a faint "Ouchhh".

However, Veer was unaffected by anything much due to his strong physique. He got to his feet and followed his wife around. Akshu was only roaming about the room.

This time, Veer took her into the room. He sat her on the side of the bed and gave her a shake.

Akshu was startled awake and witnessed Veer's disheveled condition as she looked about. She realized what occurred.

Akshu started sobbing and said, "Sorry, Veer. I already mentioned I have problem like this."

"Shhh...sweetheart. It's okay. Mujhe dard nhi hua tumhara husband strong hai. Chalo sojao ab.", veer comforted her.

"Aapko lagi kya?" akshu searched in a worried tone. He gave a defiant shake of his head.

"Aap nahi soyenge??", akshu asked. "Actually, tum sojao aaram se. Mai yahi sojaunga don't worry.", Veer said after he paused for a moment.

They said good night to each other once more and went back to sleep.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Beautiful person in sleep, illuminated with morning light. Akshu's alarm went off and she woke up. Veer was sleeping restlessly on the couch, as she observed.

"Oh Kanhaji!, Because of you he had to sleep like this. See he is so uncomfortable. ", akshu simultaneously felt guilty and angry.

She proceeded to the restroom and took her saree from the closet. She took her sweet time to get ready.

She came out wearing a white saree having golden lining on it. She paired a multicolored v-neck blouse with it. She looked very gorgeous. Her appearance adorned with chooda. The rosy cheeks that naturally appeared after taking a shower.

Akshu's look🤌🏻❤️

Akshu applied her vermillion. When she turned to face the couch, she saw that it was empty.

She headed downstairs after thinking, "Maybe he is in the gym." to observe the mansion being ready as though for a special occasion.

Speaking to Akshu, Pakhi stated, "Bhabhimaa, aagayi aap aaiye."

Then Akshu whispered to Pakhi, "Kya ho raha hai, baccha?"

"Betaji, aaj aapki muh dikhayi hai isliye ye sab decoration ho rhi hai.", Veer's dad said and again continued instructing hriday to drop the boxes in the corner.

"Mai mandir jake aayi maa", said Akshu as she made her way to the temple to perform aarti.

Everyone got prasad from her. Veer was also present in the drawing room, checking some mails and meeting schedules.

They heard someone yelling out of nowhere. Akshu noticed her best buddy approaching her calling her name. Following her, Abhiyansh came in.

"Angel...I missed you so much. You're looking so gorgeous.", Shyra complimented twirling her bestie.

[Meri bestie bhi aisa krde😌]

Shyra said, "Dekho mai tumhare liye kya leke aayi" and pulled a gift from the bag.

Shyra handed Akshu the present and said, "Open it." Akshu did so.

She was startled, and her eyes were welling with happy tears.

Shyra nodded as Akshu said, "Bubbly, you remembered this."

It was a Ghungroo. Akshu's previous one was shattered. She wished for one, but she had no money as because of her toxic relatives and Shyra wanted to gift this to Akshu because it's the only thing she loves, and she is willing to fulfill what she wants.

Meera asked her daughter-in-law, "Akshu, you love to dance?" Meekly, Akshu nodded. She's still not sure if her family will let her have what she wants.

Shyra complimented Akshu, saying, "Aunty, she is such a good classical dancer."

"Baccha, don't think that your wishes won't be fulfilled once you're married. You are free to do anything you choose." Meera pecked Akshu's forehead and remarked, "Hmm."

[Bhai, auntyji is Sasumaa goals🤌🏻😭]

"Shyra!!", Ansh yelled out of nowhere and hugged his best friend.

"Anshu!!! yaar kaisa h tu??", Shyra asked giggling.

"Abhi, tu kab aaya beta??", Veer's chachi asked.

"Chachi mai bas....", he was cut off by Shyra.

"Actually, hum dono raste me mil gye. And meri basanti puncture hogyi thi toh hum saath me aaye inki car mein.", shyra said still recovering from that embarrassing moment.

"Chalo accha hai, tum log aagye. Nashta saath me karlete hai.", Meera said and everybody proceeded towards the dining table.

Shyra was going to sit, but Abhi pulled her aside and sat down beside Ansh.

"This man is weird.", Shyra mummbled and sat beside Abhi.

"Shyra, tune nisha se kuch baat ki kya??", ansh asked about nisha.

[Nishu ko kon bhul sakta. Meko bhi yaad aati h lekin wo mujhe yaad nhi karti😭 @Malikaauthor8 when we will meet?? ]

"Nahi yaar , wo busy hogi. Isliye nahi call ki.", shyra said pouting a little.

"Shaamko Akshu ki Muh dikhayi hai. Sab ready hojaiyega.", dadiji said and everybody nodded and continued finishing breakfast.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was evening time and everybody got ready for the function. The whole mansion was shining with beautiful lights.

Big elite families had been invited to the function. Rich women are waiting for the newest daughter in law of the Singhaniya's.

On the other side, Akshu was sitting restless in her room. She was being nervous of what others will think about her.

AKSHU's POV:

I am so nervous right now; his family has connections with elite and royal families. I can't even stand against them. What if they ask about my family? Where is Shyra?

I was thinking about what to do and how to greet them, when I heard the clicking sound of the door. I looked towards the source of the sound and saw Veer approaching him.

He looks so handsome in this Blue Tuxedo. It fits so perfect, as if tailored on him. He looks like a fairytale prince; his smile is so cute.

"Aee....Stop ogling him like a creep Akshu", my subconscious mocked me. "But he is my husband", I said still admiring him. "Ohh....So you accept he is your husband...huhh😏", this inner Akshu is very naughty. Always tries to embarrass me.

"Sweetheart!!", his deep voice pulled me out of my lalala land. "Huh...", I got up from the dressing table chair. But veer again made me sit again. He sat in front of me on the floor. What is he trying to do now?? Will he tie a shackle of chains on my leg??? But I didn't run this time.

In that moment, he pulled out something from his pocket, that grabbed my all attention. It was a emerald and gold stones jhanjhar (Payal), beautifully engraved with our Initials.

It has a smaller number of ghungroos, just how I like it. I was admiring it when he said, "Tumhari muh dikhayi ki gift. Pehna du??" Should I give him a chance? Akshu don't think too much. I am married to him, he gave me a family, maybe he can change.

I nodded and forwarded my feet. He placed it on his thighs and tied the jhanjhar. The next thing he did, shocked me, "Beautiful", he whispered and kissed my feet. An electrifying sensation roamed in my body, when his cold lips made contact with my feet.

"Thank you.", I said, and he looked in my eyes a teasing smile on his face, "Mera gift...Hmm."

"Aapko kya de sakti hu mai", I asked in confusion. What I have that I can gift him. I am not rich like him. "Tum boht kuch de sakti ho baby.", veer mumbled something, but I couldn't decipher it.

"Give me my kiss.", veer asked showing his cheeks. He is such a shameless man. My cheeks would have turned red now, Ohh Kanhaji, he can only make me this blushy-mushy. I stood up and on my toes. I turned his face to the side, keeping my hands firm on his shoulders and gave him a cheek kiss.

"Haaye, akshu I love you", Veer said being aashiq deewana. "Thankyou", I said.

[Moye Moye hogya Veer ka😌🤣]

"Chaliye", I said and we both headed to downstairs.

On the way, Maa met us. She took my Balaye (evil eye), her gestures always make me crave for more of her motherly warmth.

"Haaye!! Mera baccha kinni soni lag rahi hai tu. Akshu beta ye chunni se face cover karlo aao.", maa complimented, I was feeling so shy and then I covered my face.

I was unable to see anything, because of this long chunni. This saree looks simple, but it's very heavy. When I was busy handling my chunni and saree, I felt a cold touch on my bare waist. I looked through the Chunni and saw him standing beside me.

"Chalo Akshu.", he said and helped me to get down.

The mansion was looking so beautiful, Dadiji came towards me and made me to sit on the chair in the middle of the stage. I was looking around for my bestfriends, here I am so nervous and where is she.

Suddenly, the lights went off. Papaji yelled, "Ramu Kaka, what happened to the lights."

"Aree rukiye, picture toh abhi baaki hai mere dost", we heard Ansh's voice and we saw the dance disclosing in front of us.

Shyra and Ansh were dancing on Dil Chori song. They were looking so cute, and shyra is always cute and hot. I looked around to wonder, where he is. Then I noticed him talking to some other businessman. I again brought my attention back to the dance.

Every member was happily participating in the dance. The smile adoring their face. Chacha and Chachi looking at each other. One second, Why Abhi bhai is looking Shyra, and this girl is so busy in her dance, that she is not even noticing it.

Dadi came and I broke my suspicious thoughts about abhi bhai and shyra. "Baccha, lets start the muh dikhayi rasam.", she said and lifted my veil. My hands were sweaty, I was clutching my saree.

"Sadke Jau, meri veer ki votti kinni soni hai.", dadiji complimented, here words boosted my confidence. She rounded the Money over my head, and gave it to the staff, for donating to beggers.

"Bhabhi... Chand ka tukda layi ho.", one of the aunty said. I smiled and touched her feet.

"Veeranshu toh humara bada khushnaseeb hai.", another aunty said and I blushed.

"Laxmi aayi hai.", maybe I can fit in this people, I am suitable for their family.

Everybody was praising me and gave me so many gifts, when one of the aunty said which brought me back to reality.

"Behan...maine toh suna hai ye ladki anarth hai.....sadak chaap bahu lane ki kya zarurat thi....Meri sweety aati toh chaar chand lag jate"

She is right, maybe I am not good for them. I don't have a family. I don't deserve him, Veer deserves someone better, who is equal in status with him, smart and beautiful.

My breathing got shallowed; my voice was crooked. Silent tears flowing from my eyes. I fisted my hand so tightly, that it started to bleed.

In that moment, I knew he will leave me, and his family will not take the insult and throw me out of the house.

I was about to go in my room, when I heard his soul shattering voice and I stood frozen in my place and ...................................
