CHAPTER 1
Advith

"Welcome to Chennai, temperature is 25 degree Celsius. Have a nice day"

The pilots voice echoed, Making me come out of my relaxing sleep. Seems like today there is good climate in chennai. I won't be burned with heat before I get adjusted to the climate. I opened my eyes and said my thanks to my air hostess that gave me a great company throughout the twenty hours journey. She winked at me and gave me a card. I flashed her my usual smirk. And thanked my pilot.

I came out of the airport in ten minutes to see my mother waiting with smile in her face, which I loved. She hugged me and I took in her vanilla perfume smell, that makes me feel as kid

"I see you still haven't changed a bit from being a dog?" My mom asked me with happiness. " nope and never as long as you change your favourite vanilla perfume. Come let's head to home, it's been four weeks, I last step in chennai. Need to got up with many things and especially need a shower now!" She laughed.

She teased me as I am crazy and I shrugged saying inherited from her. We went to our mansion. I shouted " I am home" as my mom let me in after doing a aarti.  My dad and my grandparents laughing at me.  After I got refreshed, went down to have a feast with my mothers food. I was enjoying my food with my family.

"Remember about the lunch we are going to have tomorrow?" My mom asked with sharp tongue. That said don't find an excuse this time. My dad and my grandparents shared look and laughed a little. I just want to kill them. I nodded at mom. She gave a evil happy smile. Through out the lunch I was silent and left the house.

I pulled up to the place that brought back all the memories I couldn't forgot in my life. Happy and bitter memories flashing in my eyes, I opened my eyes at a horn to see some Lorry coming with no control towards my car. I saw, my car is in wrong lane. I took a sharp and speed turn from my death by lorry, to get hit by a big tree. And airbag blown up, making me unconscious.

I open my eyes to see people were surrounding me and before I can speak pain radiated throughout my body, especially at my left hand. I hissed and everyone turned towards me and gave a relieved smile.

"You okay?" Is the first think my mom asked me. I nodded giving her a warm smile. I tried to open my mouth, but it pained like hell.

"Here have some water" my best friend Kritick said giving me support as he raised my head and I took a sip.

"What happened?" I asked hoarseness was evident from dryness of the throat. My mom cried as she hugged my dad and he started consoling my mother. That was same with grandparents. But, grandma eyes had tears but she controlled herself and pacified mom, while grandpa did the same to my father who is trying to maintain a tough composure. I looked at my friends for help to enlighten me and cheer up the air.

" what happened? Let's say your plan to escape the blind date we fixed you up got you back stabbed with broken left arm, that needed a emergency surgery as it had your artery damaged. And few stitches here and there for the glass pieces that got struck with you in love. And blessed you to escape from the blind date for a while as you are advised to take rest." Dev, my close buddy said sarcastically and everyone glared at me, long forgotten to cry.

" I asked to cheer up and not accuse me. Thank you so much." I said sarcasm dropping at each word. He laughed.

" sorry to blast your bubble. He just pointed out the facts till now. Here comes the accusing part." Kritick said and evil smile started to dance on his face. I raised my brow at him. "and we were graced with a new information that we have a new family member yesterday night. As we tracked you after repeated unanswered calls or missing for a day. That you met with an accident and you were admitted here by YOUR WIFE." He finished with a glare and smirk.

"WIFE?" I asked as my eyes pop out my socket. He nodded and I looked at everyone and they too nodded. What? Is this some sick joke.

"If you have said me that you like someone, we would have happily got you two married. Why to go behind our back? Anyway when are you planning to introduce her to us?" My mom accused me with a scowl and sadness. Just great.

" wait! I think we have some misunderstanding here. I never married anyone on your back guys and believe me I don't wish to get married anytime soon in my life. So, call this lady that is claiming me as her husband.? And also the lawyer to sue her!" Everyone glared me as I said, I am not planning to get married.

"Spoilsport" grandma hissed and I shrugged. " the great mystery wife of yours, Brought you In time, admitted you and took care of your papers to have a surgery for you and even informed us. Was with you till a moment ago we came hospital taking care of you as per the doctors words. But, when we started to search her to thank her the least we couldn't even find her and she was like nowhere in the image and just a dream." My father said like he can't believe that I am saying truth.

" oh! Have you checked the papers that she filled for any information about her. Maybe I should thank her for saving me." I said not able to find why I am in eager to see her. Maybe because who wouldn't want to see their saver. My dad nodded.

Then everyone started questioning me at my health and I learned I was out for two days in row. Doctor came and examined me, said I would be free to go home in three days and need to have a month rest.

A month passed in happy and peaceful blur with a times pain in my wounds.

"Ready for the date?" Mr. Jannarthanan Acciva, my grandfather's best friend asked me with lopsided grin as he took the sip of his coffee that my mom gave him watching me glare him. I love and respect this man. But, I hate him when he makes fun of me with my parents and grandparents. He basically stays here and it's became his home now.

" As always Sir, Just waiting for your blessing." I said as sarcasm dripped along the lines making him laugh, my grandparents and my friends joined him. But, My mother had different plans to send me draggers.

"All the best" my dad, Mr.Gowtham Vidal said in common. As he knows, I hate the blind dates my mom sets me up with and he knows my mom is all set to get a daughter in law to get her wish of having a daughter to be filled. So, I don't know to whom he wished whether to his son for me to escape the date or for his wife, my mother to succeed in her wish.

" get ready soon darling. I am so excited to have great grand children's  soon." My grandma said evilly. I love her a lot next to my mom, but I am scared for her evilness. And she is my mother great supporter as she want a great grandchildren to play in her hands. My mother Mrs.Gowri Gowtham Vidal is a evil one, but with partership of my grandma Mrs.Sudha Baljit Vidal, a evil goddess, I know I have no way out as they both have their husbands at their little finger.

I looked at my friends who acted like they are busy in having a sip of their coffees. Absolutely they were of no use as they too are afraid of those women's.  As they are capable of making the people to cry just by their sweet glare. With no way out, I sighed and got up the chair.

"Ask your guys to serve the foods quickly, Oldman" I said to Mr.jannarthanan Acciva as my mom planned my blind date in his hotel. He looked at me in amusement. " if you need to enjoy my foods, you are going to serve them extra late" didn't I said my mom is evil. Here is a example threatening the Oldman here. Old man, to whom whole world fears to even greet.

"Sorry, young man I love your mothers food. She is an excellent cook." Oldman said making everyone laugh and my mom to give me a happy smile. Letting me suffer in my fate and the excruciating pain as I slapped the table forgetting about I am the living creature and my left arm is still healing.

"Maybe you introduce us to your lover or WIFE. So, we could stop you having blind dates." Dev teased me, everyone laughed.

"seriously, I don't know what goodness I did to have you all in my life?" I sarcastically said and left to my room to get ready for the idiotic date.

It's been three weeks, I got out of the  hospital. Got no clue about the clue, whom claimed to be my wife. There is no information about her in the form just her sign which had S in it. She has manipulated the hospital staffs saying, she is worried about her husband, that is me and will fill the details as I wake up. And  paid them the advance amount with the cash she had.

I was even more stunned when we looked into the CCTV of the hospital, that she wore a scarf around her face, brilliant women. And then again something really skipped my heart, as I can't believe that the women about five feet five inches in black chudithar contrasting her fair toned skin with her perfect model structure with no worry in her actions, she removed her gold chain and earrings in the hospital pawn shop for selling it. And paid advance for my treatment.

No one saw her face as she was hiding it with scarf. The only information we could secured about her is, her name may have S from the signature she used in the form. And things we have of hers is the jewels she sold in the pawn shop. The jewels are so ordinary that was not any unique and would be seen in any girls neck. I took it in the hope she would least come for her jewels. She never came for that nor to say she is my saver and have her thanks or to explain about the stunt she created.

Thank god no one actually got the information of my mystery wife stunt. Since the hospital was well known by us and we donate them. And the M.D and chief of the hospital, Mr. Rao is friend of my grandfather, Mr.Baljit Vidal and Oldman, Mr. Jannarthanan reddy. We made sure the stunt to be secret and not leak to press.

I wish one day, I would meet that crazy brilliant women to say her thanks and why the hell she need to say I am her husband even though it is just to make them treat me and they wanted a family member sign.

" Advith Vidal, get your *ss down this instant." My mother's voice boomed in our mansion home. I looked at the watch. I have only ten minutes to reach the hotel. I grabbed my wallet and went down to see my angry mom.

"Sorry, was searching my wallet. It seems like it was in the bag from hospital. I will be there in five. Don't worry or more like don't get angry." I said my mom in monotone. And left as my great evil friends shove me out with car keys.

Why do my family and friends
are so eager to sell me out? A great mystery to me.
