Slap

Author's Pov

Arjun slapped Kamiya as everyone is looking at them with shock. At the same time, Ramya, Dharani, Kamiya's parents entered the hall and got startled by the slap as they don't know what is happening there.

"Arjun why are you slapping my child? What is happening here?" Manogar yelled as they can't able to digest the fact that Arjun slapped Kamiya.

When Sumathi tried to start her interrogation, but Kamiya stopped her mom by showing her hand.

"Amma, Daddy please don't interfere in this matter as this is between husband and wife. And also I don't need anyone's help. I can able to stand for myself," She uttered, and everyone stared at her like what she is going to do.

All this while Arjun is appalled at his own action as he himself is not anticipated to behave like this. But he can't able to control his anger when she insulted his grandma as she is the person whom he admires the most in his life.

Arjun knew that the word 'gold digger' is wrong. Nonetheless, he can't able to accept her insult as he thought that she could have explained her side without hurting Amirtha. Yet he regretted his action because he is also wrong on his side.

Arjun came out of his thoughts when she asked him calmly," So, Mr. Arjun Can I know, why did you slap me?"

At that point only, Arjun came out of his own thoughts and heard her question.

When he tried to answer her, she cuts him off by saying," Oh, you thought that as you have tied this knot so you have a right to slap me. That's right.

You would have shown it by stopping Patti from cursing my family as a gold digger, but you didn't.

I can accept your slap as you can't able to control your anger when I offended her. But you didn't stand for me when she insulted me. What a Justice right. I am impressed.

Since you have taken your husband rights seriously, I can also take my wife rights correct,"

As she finished her talk with the attitude, she slapped him as he did to her and glared at him.

Everyone is offended by her slap except Arjun who is astounded by her slap. Because he liked her audacious character who stood for herself, unlike other girls who will cry at this situation. Even he slipped out of his anger on her and got amused by her.

After her slap only Kamiya grasped her action, she too repented that she would have handled it calmly still she can't able to control her anger when it comes to her parents.

Since she can't change the past, she thought to use this opportunity to make a move on her side. All this while someone is enjoying the drama.

Again Kamiya started to speak, "On account of the fact that the slap can't answer all your questions. I would like to clear myself most importantly, I am not the person who would like to be a slave to her husband, I am the person who would like to be a life partner to her husband.

Before that, I feel like the husband thing is the most responsible one, but I can't see such a thing in you. If you were responsible then you don't have to face everybody today as a loser like Vidhya mentioned.

If you want to show your husband right to me, Obviously you can. Before that, I want my husband to show everybody, especially Vidhya that my husband is not a loser. You have to prove me yourself. Can you?" she challenged him at the end.

Amirtha regretted her deed hearing all this as she understood Kamiya's motive. She wants to say sorry to Kamiya yet she doesn't know how to do that. She is very happy now as she knows Kamiya will be the best option for Arjun and her family. She loves her so much and wants to make a strong relationship with her.

Prakash, Ramya, Manogar, Sumathi, and Karthick too understood her cause. So, they all got excited to know Arjun's answer. Dharani, Anitha, and Swetha are trying to understand what is happening here as everything is unexpected.

Though Arjun felt hurt as he assumed that Kamiya too thought of him as a loser, he didn't lose his hope. He thinks that he will prove to her about himself first after that he will make her fall in love with him.

"Challenge is the something which I love in my life most as I love to win always. Yes, let make a challenge then," He smirked at her.

"Done. You have to prove yourself as a good businessman at the end of our 6th month wedding anniversary. Because I can't wait for my whole life to show yourself right," She told him in a challenging tone.

"Done, Mrs. Kamiya Arjun. Make your mind to lose in this. The win is the only word which is in my dictionary," He smirked at her. And they had eye contact there. They want to know the feeling of each other, but they can't able to as they have a purpose to achieve before digging into each other.

"Ok. Let's stop talking. Arjun, Go and load our bags in the car as we have to catch the flight," Prakash instructed Arjun

.

"Dad, I too want our Manogar mama(uncle) and Sumathi atthai(aunty) to stay with us permanently," Arjun told and Kamiya smiled inwardly at this.

"That I will take care of. You can go now," Prakash told Arjun. Then Arjun and his friends went to load the bags in the car.

"Amma, I know Kamiya hurt you with her words, but her anger took a role on her. She is a small child. I will ask sorry on behalf of her, Amma.

Moreover, we have to consider her request. If you want, we can make them a paying guest as she said. Please Amma," Prakash tried to convince Amirtha.

"No Prakash, We don't want to," Amirtha halted Manogar by showing her hand as well as called Kamiya by her eyes and Kamiya went to stand in front of her.

Before she starts to speak something," Sorry, Patti. I knew that I can't raise my voice against elders, but I can't able to control my anger when it comes to my family. I am really sorry, Patti," Kamiya told this to her.

Amirtha smiled at her and started to speak," Nobody is wrong here except me. I have to ask sorry Kamiya. Not you. I am very much happy to have you as my granddaughter in law.

I can understand your motive behind the challenge. My Arjun is very much lucky to have you in our family. I am very sorry, Kamiya. Can you forgive this old lady?"

"Don't say like that, Patti. This is just a misunderstanding, there is nothing to sorry about," Kamiya told her.

"This is why I am saying that we are fortunate to have you in our family," Amirtha said and kissed her forehead.

"I am really sorry Manogar and Sumathi. I have hurt you guys many times and I am really regretting my words and actions," Amirtha uttered.

"Amma, don't say like this. You have a right to say anything about us," Manogar and Sumathi said at the same time.

"You guys proved to me today that who is elder by heart," Amirtha told them.

When they try to reply her, She cuts them off by saying," But I won't accept you guys as my paying guest........ Because I have already accepted you guys as my family. So, We all can stay as one family,"

Everybody was shocked at the first statement, but smiled at the next point. Kamiya hugged Amirtha and thanked her.

"Amma, We are really sorry for Kamiya's disrespectful behavior and also happy for your invite. But It will not good to stay in the son in law's house and we will be comfortable in Chennai itself," Manogar told this to Amirtha.

"I know why you are saying this, Manogar. If you are thinking about this society's words, then don't care about them, because they will always say something about us behind our back. In these days of my life, I want to live with all you guys as one family. Can you all please do this as my wish?".Amirtha cried at the end.

"Amma, Please don't cry. I want to stay, but..."Prakash cuts off the Manogar.

"No Ifs and buts. You are going to come. That's all," Prakash ordered him.

Manogar can't able to say no to them after this. So, he accepted.

Everybody started to refresh themselves as they have to leave shortly.

Kamiya's Pov

After all this, I am in a room to change my dress as saree is not comfortable in flight. So, I refreshed myself and changed to legging and top.

I am thinking about my mom's and dad's words after that incident. They scold me as disrespecting elders is not the right way to handle the situation and I replied to them that I will try to control my anger.

And also I am very happy as my parents are going to stay with me.

I heard the knock in my room and opened the door, Swetha is standing there. I called her in and told her to sit on the bed.

"Hi Swetha," I said with a slight smile.

"Hi Kamiya, I just came here to give a company to you till we all leave," She uttered.

Subsequently, we started speaking about random things.

"I know, you are forced into this," She stated to me suddenly.

"No, it's not like that," She cuts me off me and said," I knew, who would be happy to marry that loser?"

I aghast inside by that, but didn't show it in my face as I want to know her true face. For safety purposes, I turned on the recorder in my phone without her knowing.

"I knew, you want to get rid of him. That is why you challenged him right. If he loses in this challenge means you can easily get divorced from him right," She told me.

I got disgusted by her words, but I nodded to know more about her.

"I will make sure of that. After all, I am the one who didn't let him win in past, then how will I let him in the future," She smirked.

And I too smirked at her because I got to know who is behind all his losses. Now, I can make a perfect plan to make him win.

" You are the friend of him right. Then how can I trust you? Why are you doing this to him?" I asked her.

"I love one person from my college days. Since he is the enemy of Arjun, he didn't accept my love in earlier days. Afterward, he accepted my love with the condition that Arjun has to suffer in his life, then only he will marry me. I love him so much to the extend that I started to hate Arjun. So, We started to make him suffer all his life.

That is why I told Vidhya about his losses yesterday and stopped this marriage, but he got married to you. You don't worry, we will help you to get rid of him," She told me with a sinister smile.

So she is also the pawn in this game. Someone is using her innocence and love against my Arjun. I have to find him means I have to continue this act. And also I have to save Swetha from that beast. She is doing all this because of her blind love for that beast.

"Who is your lover? What happened between Arjun and that person?" I asked her.

"I too don't know what happened between them, but he told me that Arjun is a bad person and will tell me when the right time comes.

He wants to speak with you as you are also on our team. Wait, I will call him now then you will come to know who is he," She told me this and called that beast.

Yes, I have to know that beast to make my plan. She said something to him that I didn't hear properly because of my thinking after that she gave me her phone.

I kept the phone in my ear eagerly to know our villain.

"Hi beautiful, Welcome to my team," I got shocked by his voice.

"Akhil," I muttered my thought.

-----------------------------------------------

At last, Swetha is our black sheep and Akhil is our villain.

Bye, I Will see you in the next chapter...
