It's All Started With A Lie

Chapter- 42 Dinner at Singhania's Mansion

Naina's pov

"Is it ok?" I asked as we reached his parents' mansion.
I am going with him to a family dinner and I am really tensed now.

"It's ok, butterfly. I am here", he assured me as he held my sweaty palm.

He got out of the car and opened the door for me. I got off hesitantly.

"Don't be tense", he said as he put his hand on my lower back, guiding me into the mansion.

It was huge, like an assembly. I have never seen an enormous mansion like this in my whole life... their lawn is bigger than our entire house. There are different types of plants on the sides and a big fountain which is looking like a waterfall to me.

We entered the mansion and the living room was as huge as a big movie theater and the costly chandeliers, the expensive paintings, and nice furniture... every edge of the mansion screamed money. The lightning in the mansion is brighter than my whole life. The floor is whiter than that one white shirt which shows in detergent ads, and looking at all of these, I felt dizzy.

"Are you ok?" Arnav asked, and I nodded.

He literally lived in this mansion his whole life and I made him walk on the dirty roads and made him travel on the buses... he really loves me so much, if not how can a rich man like him go on knees for a nobody like me.

"Come, I will show you my room", he said and took me upstairs. There are many maids in his house, but nobody is looking at us when we are walking upstairs... They are only doing their work like robots in the Robot movie.

We walked upstairs and there is another living room... we walked through it and finally reached his room... just walking to his room is tiring in this house.

As you guessed, his room is bigger than my apartment and his bed size is equal to my room size. It can easily fit 10 people.
Does he sleep alone in this bed? That's why he used to get nightmares. Sleeping alone in this big bed, in this big room is really scary.

His room theme is gray and white, just like his penthouse, but everything is different here.

I saw a picture on the side table which is his childhood photo with his mom and brother.

He smiled sadly when I looked at him.

I sat on the bed silently while looking around.

"What happened, butterfly? Why are you silent?" he asked as he sat beside me wrapping his hand around my shoulder.

"Nothing", I mumbled and leaned my head on his chest.

I thought, ok he is rich but god, he is richer than the richie rich. How can I fit in his family? Does his family accept me as their daughter-in-law?

"I have never seen you being silent this much time... please tell me if anything bothers you, butterfly", he asked again and kissed the top of my head.

"Nothing, I was just looking around," I replied, making eye contact and he smiled.

As we were looking at each other silently, a knock on the door disturbed our silence.

"Sir, dinner is ready", a maid informed us and went out.

"Shall we go", he asked and stretched his hand for me.

"Yes", I replied and took his hand.

We walked to the dining room and, as expected, the table was so big and it was filled with different food items. Is this a restaurant or what? Did his father plan dinner for the whole street?

His father sat on the head chair and to his left sat Arnav's mom and to his right aunt Nalini. His brother is beside aunt Nalini looking at his phone and I can't see his face.
