Married To A Stranger

Karthik Pov:

Damn!

‘She’s such a tease!’

‘Oh, c’mon she didn’t even tease you.’

‘She doesn’t have to try, just a look is enough to make my heart flutter ‘

‘Now, you sound like a girl’

‘I’m not a girl. I’m as straight as a scale!’

‘Yeah yeah, whatever!’

“Karthik” mom voice pulled me out of bickering to myself.

I knew it, Sree is such a bad influence on me.

‘But you love her’

‘That I do’

“Earth to Karthik, I knew you would behave like a lost puppy when your wife is not beside you, but this is too much. You have a mother to take care of. All you think about is Sreesha, have you ever thought of me? Even a single second after your marriage?” My mom started her drama.

Let’s just get out of here!

I wish I could do that, but trust me, she’ll play evil mother if we ever ignore her. All we have to do is play along…

“Woah! Mom, you know I love you so much” I said lovingly.

“No, you don’t! You always say that to shut my mouth, but now I want to know who you love the most!”

“Mom, I love you both,” I said pinching the area between my eyebrows.

Why did you give me such a drama queen like my mother? Why god? Why?

“No, its either Sree or me, tell me now” why is she behaving like that? I took a quick glance around to look if something was odd. It is indeed odd because I caught a glimpse of Sree’s saree behind the wall.

Now I understand why she’s doing all this. They’re playing with me.

I need to make sure that these two evil persons stay away from each other.

She’s turning my Sree into drama queen too.

“Mom, how could you compare with her? You’re the world’s best mother” I said feigning excitement “wait, let us ask dad how he feels about you” I said smirking internally.

“First answer my question” she demanded.

“Wait, let me call dad first,” I said waving my phone.

I called my dad asking him to come downstairs saying, ‘we need to discuss something important’.

As if this is the most important thing!

What do you think that I’ll face these two drama queens myself? I need some support duh!

“What is it Karthik? I’ve some important work, make it fast” dad said heading towards us.

“Nothing dad, mom want to know who you love you the most? Your mom or wife?” I asked him with a small smirk.

“What? You asked me to come down here to ask me this silly question?” My dad half yelled.

Maybe he was busy when I called him. “I’ve more important things to do,” he said, as he was about to leave a hand stopped him.

My mom.

Mission distracting mom accomplished!

Poor dad!

“Where do you think you’re going? Answer me, who do you love the most” this is my time to escape. I slowly make my way towards the wall where my lovely wife hiding, listening to our every word. There she stood, trying hard to control her laugh listening to the drama.

“Eavesdropping is a very bad habit wifey,” I said huskily near her ear making her jump. Her eyes widened when she saw me behind her, I grinned at her wiggling my eyebrows.

“You just gave me a heart attack,” she said placing a hand on her heart.

“Eavesdropping is really bad, you know” I repeated my words.

“Wh-what? Eavesdropping? Me? Pfft,” she said gulping looking everywhere but me.

“Then what are you doing here hiding, not to mention pressing your ear to the wall?” I said raising an eyebrow.

“I was not eavesdropping okay. I was just-” she was looking around to think about something.

Damn, she’s so cute now.

“The what Sree?” I said huskily grabbing her slender waist dragging her near to me, leaving no space between us. I felt her shivering at my touch, I smirked knowing the effect I had on her.

As if she doesn’t have an effect on you…

I’m just glad it is mutual.

“Th-the… the… stop distracting me” she mumbled when I nuzzled my head in the crook of her neck taking in her addictive scent.

“What did I do? I was just holding my wife, is that a crime?” I mumbled biting her earlobe.

“Y-your pa-parents are j-just a few feet a-away” she stammered.

“You should be punished for the stunt you pulled earlier,” I said biting her neck, she whimpered at the contact of my teeth on her skin.

“I-I didn’t k-know you were there a-and I f-forgot t-to take m-my clothes with m-me” she stuttered moving her head other side giving me better access on her neck.

“And?”

“I-I…”

“God, guys get a room!” A familiar voice hollered making us jump apart.

Anju.

I groaned when I saw the smirk on her face. If I didn’t see her as my sister, I would’ve thrown her out of my house.

“Bro, you want to throw me out of the house,” she asked feigning a sad voice.

“Please Anju, I can’t deal with another drama queen now” I mumbled.

“But bro, where is the fun in that? Just a small request thou, keep your romance out of the kitchen please, people cook here” she said making a face.

“As if you can cook! You can’t even cook to save your life, now go wait in the living while I get your ‘boost’ ” Sree said in a strict voice.

“My mom is way better than her” she mumbled under her breath.

“What?” Sree asked raising an eyebrow challenging her to repeat her sentence.

“Yes mom,” Anju said sarcastically leaving us alone.

“Don’t you dare touch me, this is so embarrassing” Sree said holding her head.

“I’m not a drama queen” mom’s voice boomed.

Are they still fighting?

“This is all your fault, poor dad” Sree said glaring, rushing towards mom.

“And is it fair to target the little old me,” I said in a baby voice following her. Her glare turned into a small smile and a hint of pink appeared on her cheeks.

She’s 10 times cuter than before!

“Go and solve this problem, you created this” she sent an accused glare to me when she finds mom feigning tears. I know her enough to identify the difference between her fake and genuine tears.

“She’s just faking the tears Sree, look at the smirk on her face” I whispered standing beside her.

“How could you say that? She’s crying” she hissed.

“Just have a closure look on her face Sree” I whispered.

As if mom heard my voice, she turned and winked at us making Sree gasp. I gave her a look ‘told-you-so’.

“She’s really faking it,” she said wide-eyed, I grinned winking at her. Dad turned to me and send an accusing glare while I just shrugged.

“Okay, tell me what should I do to prove my love?” dad said in a defeated tone.

“Ah nothing you can’t do, I saw this too adorable Diamond studs when I went to shopping yesterday, So I want you to buy them for me,” mom said with a victory grin.

“You could have asked me without all these arguments,” dad said sighing.

“Now, where is the fun in that? You yourself fall in this situation, you’re not my target you know? It was my son, he has to turn the tables making you the victim” she explained fanning herself. Dad glared at me, if the looks could kill, I would be under 6 feet by now.

“We’re going to our home after these two weddings done, she’ll turn you just like her if we stay here permanently” I whispered to sree, she giggled.

“Wow, this is quite a show mom,” a new voice said followed by a few ‘yeses. Tej.

Oh, the gang is here…

Time to announce ‘Veni’s marriage’.

After they settled down in the living room, they asked Sree about the purpose of their invitation because Niya’s marriage functions will start from tomorrow.

After a few minutes, Veni came downstairs with Aadhya in her hands. I couldn’t he

lp but look at Sree, the image of her holding our kid crossed my mind. I grinned like a fool.

“For the nth time, will someone tell us why we’re here?” Tej demanded, nudging Ved who is ogling at his bride.

“Yeah, please do tell. It’s not like I’m complaining though” he added looking at Niya, who rolled her eyes at him.

“Stop making googly eyes at her and support me,” Tej said smacking Ved’s head making him groan.

“Just because your love interest isn’t here doesn’t mean I couldn’t look at my to-be-wife” he mumbled under his breath.

“I don’t have a love interest, so shut up” Tej snapped at him.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

“Sure,” Ved said sarcastically.

No one is interested in this topic as we all know who his love interest is.

Anvika.

I cleared my throat to gain their attention but Veni beat me saying “I’m getting married to Aadhya’s father”.

And just like that, the hell broke loose.
