Aadya:

"I will never do that," I said, stammering.

"Aadya, you have enough freedom to do anything you want. No one restricts you in anything. But, the only thing is everyone fears for me and if you raise your voice against me infront of those who fears for me will kill that fear in them. I don't want that. Hope you understand this," Neel said calming down his tone.

"I am scared of you," I said.

"Don't worry. You will leave your fear for me. I am sure very soon you will start fighting with me and controlling me," Neel said.

"You are such a confusing person," I said and he laughed at me.

"You are so cute while complaining," Neel said, pinching my cheeks slightly. I pouted blushing at his act.

I got a call from my friend and I disconnected the call. My friends didn't know about ny sudden marriage that too with Neel. My friend called me again and this time Neel who was working looked at me.

"Who is that?" Neel said.

"My friend," I said.

"Secret friend?" Neel said this time with a kind of rudeness in his voice.

"No," I said.

"Then why are you not picking the call? Do you need privacy to pick that special call? Do you want me to leave?" Neel said and I felt hurt with his words. I understood his intention.

"Neel, I am not that type," I said.

"Then why are you not picking the call?" Neel raised his voice this time. That's the first time Neel yelled at me. I looked at him stunningly.

"That's my hostel friend. None of my friends know about my sudden marriage. I don't know how to explain all this to them, so I didn't pick the call," I said.

"There's a point. Anyways tell me this. Do you have any boys in your friends?" Neel said and I nodded.

"How many friends do you have in boys?"

"Four," I said.

"Do they know about our marriage?"

"No," I said.

"Call them right now and tell them about you marrying me," Neel said in a commanding tone making me stumble at his order.

"Bu....t..why...?"

"No questions, Aadya. Just do what I say and that too infront of me right now," Neel said and I immediately called to them one by one and told them about marrying Neel.

"I don't have any objection if you continue your friendship with them but make sure that they know that your husband is Neel and any mistake would cost their life," Neel said.

Neel went back to his seat and continued the work. I took the water bottle and emptied the bottle in one go. This Neel is really dangerous. He could make me shiver just by raising his voice. I should be very careful with him. Hope I would never awake the devil in him.

I slept calmly without any conversation with Neel that night. In the morning, I woke up and found me covered with a blanket. I smiled understanding that Neel covered me with the blanket. He was sleeping turning towards me and I stared at his face. For some reason, I felt he is going through a lot which none knows. I hope I could make a place in his heart and be his true wife forever.

I got ready by the time he wakes up and ordered the cook what to prepare for the breakfast. I kept everything ready for him to get ready. Neel woke and looked at me while organizing the wardrobe neatly.

"Good morning, Aadya," Neel said.

"Good morning," I said.

"You go and get fresh up. I will bring the coffee for you," I said and he nodded.

"Maintaining the house neatly is your responsibility but it doesn't mean you should clean everything. You can ask the maid to set the things according to your order."

"Okay," I said.

"I thought you wouldn't like others entering into our bedroom," I said.

Neel thought for a moment.

"Maybe that's right. It's better not to allow others to enter into our privacy," Neel said, winking at me.

"However, don't sweep and wipe the room by yourself. I don't like my wife doing those things."

I nodded. I don't feel anything right with Neel. If it's not me, any girl would have felt happy for the way Neel is treating me. But I couldn't believe him and his sweetness. Is he really good or is he trying to get rid of me by planning something else? God, save me from all this disturbing intuition and help me to get close to my husband. I just need a happy and peaceful life with Neel.

"Aadya, tonight we are going to a party. I will send the beautician and she will make you ready for the party," Neel said.

"Neel, I don't like make up, perfume and parties etc."

"I didn't ask you whether you like it or not. If I tell you to do something, you should do it, Aadya. This is the third time you are disobeying me. Don't force me to teach you how to behave as my wife in my way. I am being so cool and nice to you because I felt that you will learn everything by yourself. The beautician will come and gets you ready for the party. That's it," Neel said.

I couldn't argue or go against Neel's order because to be true, I am scared of him. From his words, I understood that he was cool to me because he wanted to give chances to me and he kept them counting. The beautician made me ready as per Neel's instructions. He was on the video call throughout the entire session. I felt tired as he rejected the hair style, jewelry and even the saree many times. Finally, he approved my make over.

I went with him for the party and Neel told me that I shouldn't talk much, be polite, and behave as Neel's wife. Throughout the party, Neel didn't leave me and that made me feel comfortable as I don't know anyone there. All of a sudden, someone greeted me.
