Married To A Stranger

“Sreesha! Where the hell are you?” his voice bellowed bursting into the house alerting Sreesha and the other ladies around her.

Sreesha, Mrs. Malini Shekhar, Veni, Anju, Niya, and Anvika were eagerly waiting for their husband/boyfriend’s reaction to the recent prank they played.

Everyone was grinning ear to ear throwing a meaningful look at Sreesha, who was nervously fidgeting with her Saree end.

“Mom, he’ll kill me” she whispered to her MIL who was peeping through the slightly opened door of Sreesha’s room.

“Sreesha! I swear if you are not here in next 10 seconds… I’m going to… going to…” he stopped not knowing what to threaten his wife.

‘To what’ his conscience mocked him.

‘I can control a whole bunch of businessmen with just one look, but I don’t know how to tame this little minx’ he thought gritting teeth.

“To what?” The ladies in the room whispered excitedly.

“I’m going to… divorce you” he completed his statement half-heartedly thinking his threat might hurt his beautiful wife. He regretted saying those words the next second when Sreesha’s sad face flashed in his head.

Sreesha, who was nervous just a moment ago suddenly dashed out of the room running towards Karthik.

“This actually worked?” he thought blinking his eyes.

“What did you just said?” she asked standing in front of him, looking into his eyes with a hint of… amusement?

“That I -I am going to divorce y-you… -gulping nervously – if you are not h-here in 10 seconds?” he tried to be confident, but just one look at those innocent wide eyes all his sensible side just flew out of the window.

“You actually said that?” he was about to deny that he was not being serious but her next words made him still in his place “OMG!! I’m so happy.. yayy!!! You took a lot of time to blurt those words. You know I’ve been trying hard to make u say those words?” she was blabbering but he just stood there like a statue.

“You want a divorce?” he couldn’t help but sound like a wounded puppy.

The now very excited Sreesha who was all smiles now started calling out his mom “Mom, you said your son wouldn’t say those words right? he just said ‘I’m going to divorce you Sreesha’… I’m so damn happy” she says dancing with her MIL who was as excited as her.

“You did it finally! I’m so proud of you dear” his mom said, kissing Sreesha’s cheek.

“Mom, I said those words to warn her. why are you so hell bent on separating us?” he asked glaring at his mom.

“I won the bet” Sreesha yelled still dancing around the house.

His mom was about to say something but cutoff by a very angry Mr. Vinay shekhar.

“Malini Shekhar!” her son gave her what-the-hell-did-you-do-this-time look “Do you know what have you done this time? How in the world do you get these ideas?”

“Hello my darling husband, why are you shouting so much? Didn’t doctor advised you to attend Yoga classes to control your anger issues. Now you’re shouting at me… its not good for your health” she said in a honey filled sweet voice.

If someone who doesn’t know about this wicked old lady might think she was being harassed by her husband while it was the other way around.

“Don’t sass me! you- you- you crazy woman! How do you get all these crazy ideas to torture me every single day of my life. Are you insane?” he said rubbing his forehead with helplessness.

“Wish I can take all the credit dear husband, but this particular innovative idea is not mine” she said with a sad sigh like she lost every last penny in her bank account.

“What? No, I don’t believe you. This has idea to be yours. There is no way anyone can be as conniving as you” he said with an exasperated sigh.

“Don’t tell me you ruined my innocent daughter’s mind to give you this advice. If she is the one, I’ll send both of them away from us, so at least my son will live happily with a sane wife” he added without thinking much.

“Don’t you dare Mr. Shekhar, I love my son and daughter. How can you even think this is my daughter’s idea?”

“Then there is only one option left, you” he said pointing at her accusingly.

“See, I told you he can’t hold his tongue. He said I was ‘evil, crazy, conniving, insane ‘ what not?” she said smirking at Sreesha, who was now staring at her wide-eyed.

“I won the bet too” she said jumping like a kid.

“What do you mean-” he was cutoff by another raging voice.

“Anjali freaking Desai! where the heck are you? I’m going to kill you right this moment. How dare you to play with my popularity?” he was looking like a raging bull.

“What is it, Loser?” Anju said, standing on the last step of the stairs.

“You- you freaking ruined everything today, Desai! You ruined my chances with the most beautiful girl in the world” he said exaggerating a little.

“Oh shut up loser, as if you stand a chance ” she mumbled. “What? of course, didn’t you see her being all over me when she came over to my friend’s birthday party, where you are my date… unfortunately” he said gritting his teeth. she just tampered his balloon of an ego with a small safety pin.

“You’re talking about that monkey that was clinging to your arm at that time? ” she started laughing like a lunatic gripping her stomach hard

“Yo-you think she was the most beautiful girl in the world” she is now rolling on the floor laughing “Do you think all that makeup was her true self? You should see her without makeup… dude, what are you thinking going after that mad woman? Just one date with her, you made yourself signed a death wish a. k. a marriage proposal from her dad” still breathing heavily, controlling her laugh.

“If she is a monkey… that guy you are drooling over is nothing less than a chimpanzee with all the beard and mustache” he said glaring at her.

“Admit it, you’re just jealous because he is dead drop gorgeous” she said with a dreamy sigh.

“Yeah… as I told u, a very freaking gorgeous chimpanzee”

“You said yourself… he is indeed gorgeous.”

“Just stop using him and gorgeous in the same sentence it makes me want to puke ” he said with a disgusted look on his face.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

“If I didn’t like you as much as I did, I would have killed you this very moment” he said aloud confessing his feeling this time in front of everyone.

The moment he said those words… she started smirking giving a thumbs up to the women who gathered around them including Veni, Anvika and Niya.

“Niya Arora!” Ved yelled from the front door making her wince.

“Hi hubby, what are you doing here this early? Didn’t I tell you that I was staying here for today ?” Niya asked sweetly.

“I would have left you alone, if you didn’t pull that stunt! How dare you?” he said advancing his steps towards her.

“Raise your voice again and you’re going to say hi to your all too comfy couch and your dearest pillow to cuddle for a month” she said smirking. Knowing his wife meant every word she said sat down grumbling about being unfair.

“Where are Tej and Arjun?” Niya asked her husband raising an eyebrow.

“They will be here in a bit” he grumbled. If looks could kill Niya would be under 6 feet by now. When everyone was throwing questions at the ladies, Arjun and Tej entered the house with a neutral look on their faces.

“Hello everyone” Tej and Arjun said taking a seat next to Ved, who was still complaining about Niya’s threat.

“Why are you all standing?” Arjun asked glancing at others.

“Please tell me you don’t know what these women did” Karthik said throwing a ‘we-need-to-talk’ look at Sreesha.

“We know” they both replied simultaneously.

“Then how can you be so calm?” Ved cried out.

“As if you’re any better” Vinay Shekhar mumbled under his breath.

“Uncle!” Ved exclaimed. Karthik and his dad threw Ved a ‘shut-up-now’ look.

“Veni” Arjun called out for his wife. Veni, who was wearing a bewildered expression on her face for the lack of response stood in front of him.

“Why did you do that?” He asked calmly, patting the place next to him. Veni, like an obedient wife sat next to him.

“I-its not m-my idea, Arjun” she stuttered.

“I know” he said taking her soft hand in his, caressing it softly. “I asked you why” he added.

“They were all arguing about whose husband stopped paying attention to them and all of a sudden Anju came up with this plan to get their husband’s attention respectively. I was against it at first, but they said it will make you angry… again. Where you’re sitting next to me as cool as a Buddha” she mumbled the last part to herself.

“I was angry at first, but I also know you will not do these reckless things… alone -throwing at look at Anju who was trying to look cute, so she could escape easily – but then again, I like it when you act carefree” he said smiling at her.

‘Awwww’ all the ladies sighed at a time.

“Tej, why are you so calm?” Karthik, who was now holding Sreesha closely asked. “Mine is not as bad as yours” he shrugged, showing them what they posted in olx.
