Revelation of past

The groom enters the room, and the females from earlier lock the door behind him. He looks around the room, and his eyes fall on her bride, sitting on the decorated bed, wearing a red bridal Saree, with her face covered with it.

He comes near her and slightly sits beside Anita.

Groom - “You don’t have to cover your face like that. Because we are not in the olden days, so you do not need to do that.”

Anita - “But I want to.”

Groom – “What? Why?”

Anita – “Because I want you to lift this veil off of me.”

Groom chuckles lightly and then replies, “As you command, my lady.”

He comes closer to her, Anita’s heart beating in excitement, to see her husband for the first time. He lightly lifts the veil off of her face, and his eyes fall on her face.

Groom - “Oh wow, what a beauty, “ in a lower voice.

Anita blushes after hearing this, and when he realizes what he has done, he gets all shy.

Groom- “I have seen how beautiful you are, but even you need to see whether I am up to your standards or not. Please, look at me.”

Anita nods and slowly opens her eyes. But just as her eyes fall on him, something inside her makes her terrified.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhh.” No words, but only a scream comes out of her mouth. In fear, she jumps off the bed and sits in a corner holding herself, her body trembling, tears running from her eyes. “No, don’t come any closer, please leave me alone.”

“Did I scare you? Don’t I look good enough? Is there anything in my face scaring you?”

Then, suddenly, Anita remembered something.

SIX YEARS AGO

Anita – “I was 20 when I went to Mumbai for my higher studies. I got a residence for my living at a very low price. It was a royal-looking, palace-type big bungalow, but very old, which gave the vibe of a haunted house. But I don’t believe in these things. And along with this house, its well-furnished furniture was free, so any mad person would only leave such a good opportunity.

I just broke up with my ex, so I was totally depressed and wanted a person, basically a new boyfriend, who would listen to everything I say, care for me, and even make me happy. But sad me had none, so basically I had to clean this huge house all on my own.

While I was cleaning the house, I found a photo of a guy. The guy in the photo was a tall, handsome, fair boy with a tall height, black hair, a well-maintained body, and broad, muscular shoulders. He was wearing a white loose shirt with black, baggy jeans.

I thought cleaning would lift my mood, but it didn’t, so I went and bought two big bottles of beer to drown in my sorrow all alone. I emptied both my bottles and got drunk. And when I am drunk, even I don’t know what I’m doing.
