Chapter 12

Next morning

Isha woke up, her head paining from last night crying . She found herself still in wedding dress sitting on the floor. She got up straight went inside the washroom.

She looked herself in mirror, eyes red and swollen from crying cheeks have stain of tears.

She remembered everything what happened but this time she didn't cry , she just sighed and splash water on her face wiping it with towel.

She looked side of the washbasin there is a new toothbrush and toothpaste, it does surprised her a bit.

She shrugged it off and brush her teeth , took cold showers relaxing herself . She don't wanted to think about past , just want to focus on future.

She wore a simple t-shirt with pajama. She was drying her hairs when she heard a knock on the door.

She opened it and......

.....

Meanwhile vikram

He woke up early and freshen up. Everything was clear in his mind.

He come out of the room and one of his the guard handed him an envelope. He opened it - 𝙈𝙖𝙧𝙧𝙞𝙖𝙜𝙚 𝙘𝙚𝙧𝙩𝙞𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙚 and another paper attached- 𝙈𝙖𝙧𝙧𝙞𝙖𝙜𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙩

He looked at them reading it Carefully ,once he checked everything is fine, he went toward isha's room and knock on her door.

He was feeling nervous for the first time in his life that too with a girl. He took a deep breath.

....

Isha opened the door and found vikram, she looked at him coldly.

Vikram looked at her eyes swollen, hairs light wet. Still managed to look beautiful. Making his heart beat fast.

" What do you want early in the morning ?" She asked in cold voice

" I wanted to talk to you. " He replied in normal voice.

"About what? " She asked coldly.

"Can we sit and then talk? " He asked her.

She looked at him for some seconds and then nodded , moving aside giving him space to enter.

He entered and sat on couch she also sat in front of him.

"Now say" She said

"Let's get married. "

He said calmly.

She looked at him with wide eyes in shock. Then shock turned into anger.

" Are you out of your mind? Do you even know what you are saying?" She asked him in anger , practically shouting but not in that loud voice.

" I know what I am saying. Please listen to me first. " He replied looking at her

"She look beautiful in anger to-WHAT AM I EVEN THINKING "

He thought in his mind and shook his head a little.

" What you wanted to say do you even know the meaning of marriage. You guys have made joke of marriage. " She said coldly trying to suppress her anger.

"Look I know that we have make a huge mistake by kidnapping you and I am really sorry about that. I know that my sorry wouldn't fix anything ...... But I wanted to fix it. Please trust me for once give me one chance. " He said all this looking down until the last he looked at her eyes full of determination.

For a moment she felt her self lost in his hazel eyes but soon she lowered her eyes and sighed

"You are not understanding vikram , it will make people's suspicion true that i really ran way from my wedding. I have already lost my reputation I don't want you and family to face humiliation because of me." she said calmly lowering her eyes.

She knows that people are talking rubbish about her but she don't want them to talk anything about him or his family.

vikram listen to her carefully.

"you don't have to worry about that because no one will ever dear to do Or say anything to us specially to you . And i wanted to make one thing clear i am not marring you out of guilty ,I genuinely wanted to marry you . And its my promise that i will protect you for my life time." he said voice full to determination, looking straight into her eyes.

She too looked straight into his eyes as if finding a lie but all she can see is truth. Its made her question - why?

"Why? Why you suddenly wanted to marry me?" she asked still looking at him-in his eyes.

"Because i really find you my type. My mom has been urging me to get married but i have no interest in any girl. Tomorrow she again called and asked me about marriage so i lied to her that i already married to you. And......." he said all the things.but stopped at last as he looked at her with nervously.

"And?" she asked raising her one eyebrow , she knew that he is telling the truth.

He gulped looking at her .

"And i don't wanted to hide anything from you . if you want we can have a one year contract marriage and if in the end we didn't feel for each other or if you wanted to leave me then you can ." he said completing the sentence

"But i will make you fall for me, i will no let you go. "

He thought in his mind controlling the smirk on his face.

After a moment of silence

"okay done. give me the papers i will sign them." she replied to him

She don't know him but she have heard about him , his company is one of the top company of whole Asia.

She knows that all the things he have done is for his friends happiness it's not like she don't want her sisters happiness. It's just the path was wrong.

"You are the one who married me. Let's see for how long it will go. " She thought in her mind.

He looked at her surprised and happy . He gave her the papers she read it carefully before signing it and after her he signed it.

Now they are officially a married couple.

(Finally , i am so happy . okay lets continue.)

" Umm.... Get ready because i told mom that i will bring you home today."he said nervously

"Okay" she replied calmly.

Just then there is a knock on the door. Vikram opened the door and there is a guard standing with a shopping bag.

He took that from him and shut the door after the guard is gone.He give that bag to isha ,she looked at him confusingly.

"Wear this." he said calmly

She took that bag from him and opened it there is box , inside it there is a beautiful red saree . she is stunned for a moment how did he managed it just in this short time.

She didn't said anything and just nodded .vikram too left her room. She went to change.

She looked at herself in the mirror red saree is looking good on her . she didn't wear makeup just lipstick and kajal . she went downstairs with her suitcase.

Vikram who was waiting for her looked at stairs when he heard footsteps . He is stunned to even speak .

He looked at her - no makeup, just that dark kajal making her brown eyes even more beautiful , and a touch of red lipstick on her lips. That was it. And still… she looked breathtaking.

The red saree hugged her perfectly, making her glow even more against her fair skin. He couldn’t take his eyes off her. She didn’t even try - and somehow, that made her even more beautiful. Effortless. Real. Just… her.

He did't even realised when she come in front of him. She called him once, twice and so on but he was still daze.

She snapped her finger in front of him. He come out the daze and looked down feeling embarrassed .

"Where are you lost . Let's go we are getting late." she said normally

"Sorry . lets go." he said and both left outside the house.

The guards and maids were stunned why because their boss has never said sorry to anyone.

.........

Inside the car vikram told her to apply Vermilion and wear mangalsutra, she did it.

After 30 minutes they reach at chuhan's mansion .

They went toward the door where whole chuhan family is waiting for them, they have prepared everything -door is decorated with flowers, maids were hiding arti thal.

Isha is feeling nervous right now. She don't know what will be their reaction and how will vikram handal this but one thing she knows that she trust him at least a little.

Both come to the entrance of the house.

Whole family got shock. They knew who she is - the ran away bride. But what she is doing here.
