The CONTRACT MARRIAGE (COMPLETED)

Chapter 3: CONFRONTATION

"I tried .." akshay choked, his insides burnt couldn't endure painful memories sliding back and refreshing unhealed bruises, hidden, deep in his soul. 

"Well, you didn't try enough !" his voice loud and hurtful. 

"I did, majboor tha .." argued, shutting him up. 

"You know mom and her dominating personality, she always wanted best for us hence didn't ever permitted what we chose especially me, being an eldest son, I had no choice but to give into her demands or else I would have been a lonely person without a family" uncovers actual reason behind submission. 

"I was scared to lose my family, I knew mom would've broken all the ties with me after all I dared to love middle class girl, she couldn't meet her standards" 

"I fought as much as possible, I gave up when she ask me to choose between her and someone I claimed to love, mom ke saamne mein kaise usko choose karta khud soch, she couldn't tolerate her presence, I was forced to break up thankfully saniya chose to move on rather than waiting for me" 

"That's your fault bhai, you shouldn't have given up !" groans in frustration. 

"I had to anyways stop blaming me for your problems" roaring back at him. 

"You made it impossible for me to stand against her kuch bhi karne jao mom starts comparing us kyunke you have never dared to oppose her decisions" 

"Tu joh karna chahta tha na, hamare family values ke against tha especially mom ke liye insulting tha .. us baat ko kaafi saal hogaye hain .. please don't start again to ignore your current problem" akshay cleared. 

"What's the current problem ?" he asked, unable to comprehend. 

"Your wedding, my little brother !" sarcastically, reminded. 

"Fuck man, I made it clear there is no marriage happening !" angrily, told. 

"Bakwaas mat kar shaadi ke cards kab ke baant diye hain, tere dulhan ghar mein baith kar mom ke saath jewellery select kar rahe hai, kabhi socha hai, hum sab ko kya jawab dainge, us bichare ladke ki kitne badnaami hoge, do you realise we r having partnership with sharma's" 

"Our friendship and business will be at stake you know how humiliating it is for someone to be dumped before marriage, mom will be shattered, why do you wanna sabotage our family name and values ?" 

"Fuck with everything !" losing every ounce of control, harshly threw glass containing scotch "I won't marry a cheater .. a whore .. a fucking bitch who sleeps with my best friend for pleasure" pulling rug beneath his feet, never thought neha would cheat on his brother 💔

"Kya baat kar raha hai ?" once again, asks regarding abhay's involvement.  

"I wouldn't have trusted any body, I loved them so much .. aap jaante hain kitna close tha main dono se .. I never thought .. she would betray me yaar maine khud dekha un dono ko make out karte huwe" dark orbs, welled up. 

"What the fuck, you won't believe, she's such a bitch itna sab hone ke baad hamare mom ke samne anjaan bann kar baithe hai" akshay, realised. 

"Now you know, why I am dumping her ?" sarcastically, raising up eyebrow. 

"You should, I won't spare them .. mumbai chal sabko batate hain !" 

"Abhay ko toh office se dhaake maar kar nikalte hain" akshay, decided his blood boiled, how dare they betray sidharth, his little brother 😤

"Nahi bhai, aap kisi ko kuch nahi bataoge !" surprising him. 

"Kyun, tera deemag kharab hai, chup baithne se blame tujh par ayega kyun mahaan bann na chahta hai ?" raising his tone, getting annoyed.
