WEDDING VOWS
TRAILER
They married without love.
But fate had other plans.
Rehan
When we go down to our families, I want you to say no to this marriage proposal. You're the twenty-third girl my parents have brought me so, I am in no position to reject you.
These were the first things he said to me when we met for an arranged marriage.
I could have heard his words and rejected him but god, I was in no position to reject him as well because he was the seventeenth person my father had introduced me to.
Akshita
Can't marry your girlfriend?
Rehan
I don't do love. I fuck. And so, I don't want to lose my freedom and tie myself down to a single woman for my entire life.
Akshita
What if I was willing to give you that freedom? I am proposing an open marriage here. You can fuck whoever you want but stay married to me on papers.
His expressions darkened.
Rehan
Open marriage? I won't give you as my wife the freedom to screw other men
And the deal was made. A marriage of contract. He gave me a monthly allowance, a promise that he would never bring any of his sex swings home and pretend like a loving husband in front of my friends and family and in return I just had to allow him to have multiple one-night stands out of our marriage.
I thought I could live like that. After Mihir left, I thought the love inside me died, but I forgot that time heals every wound. And for me, the painkiller entered three days before my wedding.
Siddhant
I don't understand. It's okay for you to kiss me out of a bet with your friends, but when I kissed you because of my friends' bet I get slapped? That's not exactly equality?
Akshita
So you want to slap me? Fine. Do it. *closed her eyes shut, flinching a little, waiting for him to slap her**
Siddhant
*chuckles internally, but still slaps her**
Akshita
*shocked as she wasn't expecting that slap** You sla-
Siddhant
*grabs her head from behind and kisses her again** I also bet my friends that this time, I won't get slapped.
He let go of me and I knew that was the beginning of destruction. I knew he was the wreck of my contract with Rehan.
Still, Siddhant left, I became Mrs Kishore, the wife of Dr. Rehan Kishore. I asked him to allow me to join college again but not as his wife, but an unmarried woman
Rehan fought, but agreed, and I walked into the grounds of the college campus, dressed like a twenty-year-old, single woman who lives with her brother (Rehan) in the city
My plan was to study sincerely and make something of myself so that I could finally divorce Rehan and move on to make a strong career but like men, women fail too, kudos to a boy.
After getting married, I met him again. He was the football captain of the college I was admitted in.

Akshita
Rehan
So, uhh... Since we're about to get married I think we should discuss certain things before we agree to do so. I've had a lot of girlfriends in my life. Actually the fact is that I don't really like the idea of hanging onto a single girl for my whole life
Akshita's parents had found a family where they could get her married off to. The family was really nice. Rehan's dad was a pharmaceutical shop owner, his mom was a housewife. He came from a very simple middle class family background.
But Rehan was a neurological surgeon. He was 27 and was a single child of his house. He and His mom had come to visit Akshita's house to discuss this marriage only.
After the whole family gathering of thirty to sixty minutes both the prospective bride and groom were sent in private to talk. Yes, it was going to be an arranged marriage.
Rehan
May I ask you a question? If you don't mind?
She replied in an extremely low voice
She answered calmly. She didn't really mind that question, she thought it was important for the person who is going to marry her to know this thing about his wife.
She asked looking him in the eye. This was the first time she saw him properly. He looked at her seemingly surprised.
Rehan
I don't think that it really matters.
Akshita
Oh. I'm just curious.
Rehan
No! I'm not. I told you just now that I've been dating a lot of girls in my life. Didn't it explain it already?
Akshita
(This guy seems really, really arrogant!)
Akshita
So, um... You don't want to marry me, is it?
She was getting sick of how proud he was acting as if she wanted him very badly or something. It's not like she was in love with him or something. Why was he being a moron here?
Rehan
Ah... I don't know. That depends on the situation here.
He said crossing his legs
Rehan
Have you ever had any boyfriend in your life?
Rehan's Condition
After like 30 second of silence she asked.
Akshita
Uh... Don't you have anything else to ask?
Rehan
Nope! I got myself clear about you.
What kind of guy he was? Arrogant, rude, weird, dumbass, and what the fuck was he taking her for? He was supposed to spend rest of his life with her and he's only got these irritating questions to ask? Like really?
Rehan
Do you want to say something?
He asked looking up at Akshita from his glass who was cursing him under her breath and was almost glaring at him. She sighed and came back to her senses.
Akshita
Hey, tell me one thing... Do you want to marry me?
Akshita
Well you clearly asked me only those questions which would irritate any girl, and you didn't ask me anything else than that so... I guess... You intend to scare me off?
She said and he looked at her amazed.
Rehan
You're right. I did this on purpose. I do want to scare you off.
She said it extended the "okay" word too long.
Rehan
See... The thing is that I don't want to ruin your life.
He said and kept the glass down on the coffee table.
Akshita
Ahem... And... How... Would you ruin my life exactly?
Rehan
You seem to be a really nice girl to me. I am not really a good guy to marry you. You see, I don't want to waste your life so, I'm telling you the truth 'I'm a playboy and I WILL NEVER CHANGE. Do you still want to marry me?
Akshita
Honestly... I don't believe your bullshit!
He looked at her shocked at her response
Akshita
Because... What I think is that you have someone you love, and your parents want to force you to marry someone like me who could suit your family background... Isn't it?
On hearing this he started laughing hard.
Rehan
Do you really think that I, Rehan Jaiprakash can fall in love with someone? Oh, please! This love business is not my business. I just don't want to cheat on a girl.
Rehan
After I marry someone I need to be faithful to her and that, I can't really cope with. It's just that, looking at you and your family I just believe that you're not the kind of girl who would like to be cheated on. In fact, I don't think that anyone would..."
He was cut down mid-sentence by Akshita as she said urgently
Akshita
I really don't mind you cheating on me.
Rehan looked at her in complete shock. He was speechless for some ten seconds staring at her, and she looked confidently in his eyes. He wet his lips before saying,
Rehan
So, you're saying that after I marry you I can fool around with other girls, and you would not mind or bother me?
Rehan
You know what, I am not joking around with you. I am really serious about this.
Akshita
And I'm willing to give you that.
