Marriage in 2 days?

I took Saharika home.

Even if she was reluctant, under my strong grasp she didn't dare break free.

"Okay, we are here."

-I gently placed her feet on the ground.

"Wow, such a big and spacious house."

"Perhaps, Are you some hidden- big shot?"

-She asked in amusement.

"Yeah, your future husband is very awesome."

-I replied with a smug face.

At the mention of future husband, her face once again reddened.

"Okay, let's enter inside."

As I walked inside, after some hesitation, she too followed in.

Saharika really deserved to be a hidden gem.

Just after entering the house, she on her own, started doing various tasks like watering the outdoor plants, cleaning here and there.

By nightfall, the house was much cleaner.

'She really knows her job', I appreciated her.

.....

The next morning as I was relaxing on a chair, she called me.

"Sir, I need some money?"

I had question marks on my face,

"How much do you want?"

-but I still decided to play along!

"Just one gold coin! With it I should be able to buy enough vegetables to cook meals", she answered sillily.

I looked at her from head to toe as I reevaluated her.

"Didn't I say that maids from the village lord mansion will provide us with tiffins?"

"No, how can we completely rely on it."

"I suggest we should discontinue the tiffins they are providing us", she spoke decisively.

"Oh, Why do you think so?"

-even though I knew the reason, I wanted to hear it from her mouth.

"By sending us meals, they are trying to make us rely on them. It's a sort of dependence. Think about it, you must be strong in the village. Everyone in this world wants to rely on someone strong… so they send various favours. The village lord is also doing the same. He is unconditionally providing free food so that he can ask you for a favour in the near-future and you will feel that you owe him and will be forced to help. Moreover, that person does not have a good reputation."

Hearing her detailed analysis, I clapped.

I already knew that this village lord was a little shrewd guy. My guess was that after a month or so he will ask me to help expand the village area or do some shady things. Saharika's words further affirmed my thoughts.

"Okay, we will do as you say."

"When the maid from the village lord's mansion comes, you can send her off."

Being understood, a smile bloomed on Saharika's face as she quickly nodded.

'As expected, the girl chosen by me isn't bad…just need some polishing and she can definitely shine.'

"Okay, now let's go."

I stood up and without giving her any second to react, took her arm as I dragged her out.

"Where are we going?"

"Didn't you say you need to buy vegetables?"

"That's why we are going to the main market. Also, I need to buy you some clothes."

"It's okay, I can wash and wear the same dress again."

-Saharika was reluctant to make me spend money.

With my right hand I slapped her buttocks.

"Awwwww", she looked at me aggrievedly.

"Be obedient!"

"If I say I will buy you new clothes then there's no bargaining in it."

"A wife should happily accept what her husband buys for her."

-Hearing my words, she gave a sigh and let me drag her out.

Even though she was half-protesting, there was a shallow smile on her slender lips.

'Wow, will I really marry him? He is too domineering.'

'He seems to have a strong ability to judge people and won't let easily someone get close to him… but if someone gets closer he will definitely take best care of her', impressed by Shenshah's attitude, Saharika had already started overthinking various things.

Saharika could only watch as the bustling shopping street arrived before her eyes….

Soon she realized what Shenshah had planned for her~

"No I don't want to buy it, this dress is so costly!"

"No, I don't want to buy this makeup kit."

"No, we don't need to buy such costly meat."

...Even though Saharika kept denying, with my insistence, she could only keep holding the shopping bags in her hand.

Clothes, Ornaments, food, decorations, we almost visited every prominent store on the street.

"If we keep buying like this, we will run out of money", Saharika spoke with a worried face.

"It's okay, money, we can earn again!"

"But Saharika's youth…can it come back?"

-With my provoking words, Saharika was dumbfounded.

She kept her head down as I kept pulling her buying all sorts of things.

Since I had the money, what's the point of it if we are still living like those poor villagers?

Unknown to Shenshah, butterflies were fluttering in Saharika's chest.

Since childhood, she had seen countless beautiful girls being pursued by those rich boys. She too was a normal girl, feeling envious was a normal thing.

Every girl dreams to live the life of a Cindrella.

Feeling the warmth from Shenshah's strong hands which were pulling her so decisively, her cheeks were filled with a cloud of redness.

I, who could perceive the little changes in her face did not dare speak anything.

I knew I was in full control.

The act of - Saving the beauty in need was already successfully done and by giving her a place to live in, she was already feeling secure with the warmness being provided by me.

I was pretty sure that if tonight, I forced her in the same bed…even though she will try to refuse….in the end, she will accept it, that was how confident of my strategy.

Just like as Shenshah predicted, Saharika was thinking the same thing~

'What a good guy he is!'

'First, he saved me then he gave me a nice place to live in.'

'Now he is buying me so many things.'

'I know he said that he wants to marry me, but with such a treatment and gentleness he is showing, I am already feeling so happy!'

'If….tonight.'

'If tonight…he asks me to sleep together.'

'Should I agree?'

'Damn, Saharika…shame on yourself for thinking bad things'

-Seeing her stomping her feet out of the blue, I couldn't help but laugh out aloud.

"What happened? Why are you keeping your head down and smiling foolishly... also, stomping your feet?

Feeling like a cat caught stealing, her face flushed.

"I..I"

"I was thinking about what I should cook today."

"Yeah! That's right! That was what I thinking", with a stuttering tone, Saharika finally completed her sentence.

"Haha", seeing her crying face I decided not to tease her anymore.

She has already agreed to live with me.

Can she escape now?

...…..

Just like that it was near 11'o clock by the time we came back.

Both of our faces were exhausted, our hands literally full with bags of all sorts~

Even though I had a good physique compared to normal people, I had to admit -women who are shopping are completely different.

It was only in the beginning that Saharika felt embarrassed.

When she realized I won't listen and will buy her everything, she too got in the mood and dexterously, with careful eyes checked everything with the slightest of details.

At one point, I even wondered if she was the same girl who was crying in the beginning.

After eating the dinner prepared by her, it was time to go to bed~

"Okay, now go to sleep to your room."

-Seeing me about to go to my room, there was some confusion on Saharika's face.

She thought that tonight I will ask her to sleep together, she was already mentally prepared but he asked her to sleep alone?

I turned back and saw her wrinkled face.

I knew what the situation was~

"Come on, you want to sleep without getting married?"

"In two days, I will marry you! At that time, we will sleep together, okay? Now go to your room!"

-Seeing that I was aware of her thoughts, Saharika's face was so red that she felt like she would die out of shame.

"Who wants to sleep with youuu!"

-Screaming loudly, covering her face with her slender fingers, Saharika ran to her room and tightly shut the door.

Seeing her disappear, my lips slowly parted,

"Oh dear, it's not like I am not tempted."

"It's just that your body needs some nourishment."

"In two- three days, after eating some good meat and fruits, and with enough nutrition, your body should ripe properly."

-I was not a saint.

My biggest principle was not being a hypocrite. I had already read countless shit where the protagonist is full of lust and keeps saying he will do this and that but when he transmigrates, he is the same. The same beta, dense, who shies away just from a single smile from the girl. I was so annoyed by such characters that don't even hold hands after hundreds of chapters for the sake of so-called plot/ character development. My dream was already clear in my mind- I will marry lots of girls and live happily with a big family.

How can I complete such a dream if I act like those guys I read in novels?

"Only then will it be worth to sleep with you, my dear Saharika, hahaha!"
