The next morning, everyone was having breakfast when Karan entered, looking cheerful and refreshed.
"Good morning, family," he greeted cheerfully, flashing a bright smile.
Everyone turned to his direction, surprised by his sudden cheerfulness.
"Hmm, someone looks cheerful today," Sia teased, raising an eyebrow.
"Are you just coming? Didn't you sleep home last night?" Jash asked, looking serious.
Karan's smile faltered for a moment before he recovered. "No, Dad, the meeting took long, and it was too late to come home."
"Does that explain why your two phones were switched off?" Grandma Viti asked.
"I'm sorry, Granny, I turned it off because I was tired and needed no disturbance." He walked over to Grandma Viti and kissed her cheek, his eyes filled with affection. "Please, don't be mad at me."
Grandma Viti's look softened, but she still looked concerned. "I'm not the one you should be sorry to, but your wife. She stayed up all night waiting for you."
Karan's face twisted in annoyance, and he rolled his eyes. "I'll just go in and freshen up." He turned to leave, then called out to Arya without turning to her. "Arya, follow me."
Arya's face looked hesitant, but she stood up and followed him behind. "Excuse me, everyone."
They entered the room, and Karan moved to his closet, pulling out all his clothes and dumping them on the floor. He turned to Arya, his expression harsh.
"I want you to wash and iron these clothes."
Arya's eyes widened in surprise. "But they're not dirty, I washed most of them yesterday."
"I don't care, they look dirty to me. Wash them with your hands and iron them."
His voice was harsh and commanding, he turned and walked away, Arya sigh tiredly and pack the clothes, her eyes filled with sadness and frustration.
Some hours later, Arya was in the laundry room, ironing the clothes one after another. Her face was flushed with heat, and she was sweating profusely. She turned off the iron and left to get water from the kitchen.
After a few moments, she returned to the laundry room, only to be shocked by the sight before her. The ironed clothes were scattered on the floor, and the other one she had left was burnt due to the iron being left on. Her eyes widened in surprise, and she wondered how it had happened.
"Oh no," she panicked, quickly picking up the clothes on the floor and starting to iron them again.
After several minutes, she returned to the room with the clothes, the burnt one hanging on her shoulder. She saw Karan relaxing on the bed, smiling at his phone. As soon as their eyes met, his expression turned cold.
"It took you so long to get simple things done," he said, his voice laced with disdain.
"Um, I'm sorry," she said, trying to apologize.
Karan's eyes narrowed as he spotted the burnt cloth hanging on her shoulder.
"Why is that one hanging on your shoulder?" he asked, his voice rising "Are you dumb?" he yelled, standing up from the bed. He took the clothes and saw the burnt shirt.
"What did you do to my shirt?" he demanded, his eyes blazing with fury.
"Um, it-- it was a mistake and...," Karan interrupted her, his face red with rage. He slapped her hard across the face, and Arya screamed in pain. The rest of the clothes fell from her hands.
"How dare you!" Karan yelled. "This is one of my favorite shirts, and you ruined it."
Arya pushed away from him, trying to escape another blow. "I'm sorry, it was a mistake," she said, tears streaming down her face.
"You...." He growled, his fists clenched. "Gosh I hate you! I wish I could strangle you to death." He threw the burnt shirt at her. "Fix this shirt up, or you will have me to deal with," he threatened, his eyes blazing with fury.
With that, he stormed out of the room, leaving Arya sobbing quietly on the floor. She slowly got up, arranging the clothes and placing them neatly in the closet.
Then, she took her phone and sent a message to Arjun, her eyes still brimming with tears.
Some minutes later, Arya rushed down from the room after Arjun called to inform her he was waiting outside. She tied a scarf around her face, covering it to avoid raising suspicion from everyone.
"Arya, where are you going?" Roshni asked firmly, her eyes narrowing slightly.
Arya hesitated for a moment before responding. "Um, my brother is outside waiting for me."
She quickly walked away, leaving Roshni and the others staring confusedly at her.
"Why is she covering her face like that?" Gain's wife asked curiously, her brow furrowed.
Arya rushed outside, opening the gate and hugging her brother quickly. Arjun hugged her back, concern etched on his face.
"How are you doing?" he asked, caressing her back as they pulled away from each other.
"I'm fine."She forced a smile.
"Why are you covering your face?"
"Um, nothing, I'm just trying to escape sunburn."She lied, trying to sound casual.
Arjun handed her a shopping bag. "Okay, I got what you asked for."
Arya's eyes lit up as she opened the bag, revealing an exact replica of the burnt shirt.
"Thank you," she said, her voice filled with gratitude. "You don't know what this means to me."
Arjun smiled warmly. "It's okay, you're my sister, and I'll do anything to make you happy." As he caressed her face, Arya flinched in pain, trying to hide her face. "What's wrong?" He asked, his eyes filled with concern.
"Nothing."She said , trying to brush it off. "I will head back inside now".She turn to leave.
But Arjun wasn't convinced. He grabbed her hand, pulling her back as the scarf fell off, revealing her red and swollen cheek.
Arjun's expression turned from concern to shock. "Arya, what happened to your face?" he asked, his voice low and menacing.
She hesitated, trying to come up with an excuse. "Um, nothing, I fell."
"You fell? You know you can't lie to me. Tell me what happened to your face." Arya's eyes dropped, and she remained silent. "Did he do this?" he asked, his face twisted in anger.
Her silence was all the confirmation Arjun needed. His eyes turned cold, and he barged inside, Arya following behind, trying to stop him.
Arjun rushed inside, boiling in rage. "Where is he?" he yelled, his face red with anger.
Everyone turned to him, looking surprised. Arya tried to calm him down, but Arjun's eyes were scanning the room, searching for Karan.
Just then, Karan appeared at the staircase, engrossed in his phone. He frowned, sensing something was wrong, but before he could react, Arjun rushed to him and punched him hard on the cheek.
Karan fell to the ground, and everyone gasped in shock. Arjun pulled him up, holding tight to his collar.
"How dare you raise your filthy hands on my sister? What right do you have?" Arjun yelled angrily, his eyes blazing with fury.
Jash and Ved rushed to intervene, trying to calm Arjun down.
"Arjun, let him go," Jash said, as they finally managed to free Karan from Arjun's grip.
Arya moved to Arjun, trying to calm him down. "That's enough, Arjun," she said, her voice soft and soothing.
"What's going on?"Grandma Viti asked confusedly.
"You all don't know, or you're all just pretending that this moron here has been abusing my sister."He said angrily.
Roshni's eyes widened in shock. "What are you talking about?" she asked.
"This!".Arjun pulled away from Ved and Sia, who were trying to hold him back. He moved to Arya, taking off the scarf that covered her face. Everyone gasped as they saw the bruise on Arya's cheek. "He did this to her," He said, his voice harsh with accusation.
Grandma Viti rushed to Arya, her face filled with concern. "Oh my god," she said. "When did this happen?"
Arya sniffled, trying to hold back tears. "It was an accident, grandma."
Roshni's eyes turned to Karan, who was standing silently, "Karan, did you do this to her?" she asked.
Karan ignored them, his eyes fixed on the floor.
Jash's face turned red with anger. "How could you hit your wife?" he yelled.
Karan's face turned cold. "She's not my wife. The earlier she leaves, the better for everyone." He turned and walked away, leaving the room in stunned silence.
Arjun tried to follow him, but Arya stopped him. "Please, don't. Let him be."
"You know what? I'm taking my sister with me. She doesn't deserve to be here. This marriage between her and that moron is over."
The room fell silent, with everyone staring at Arjun in shock.
