Author's note: I had added Arranged Marriage Ch 01 a long while back. Suggest you to read the same before continuing with this.
The flight ride to US was boring to say the least for Karthik. Anitha had not allowed him to get any of his novels, and so, he had to sit through the boredom while Anitha happily immersed herself in a novel. In addition, the reality of being a slave to Anitha was heavily weighing down on Karthik and he could never get it out of his mind. He did not have a choice. Anitha had photos and videos of him naked and licking her feet, licking her shoes and he could not bear to think of his mother if those photos ever got out. He knew that, until he went to the US, he had no hope of turning things around. The thought of what would Anitha do to him until he could do something about it filled him with dread. His boredom was exacerbated by another couple sitting in front of him and Anitha. Just like him and Anitha, they were clearly newlywed. Unlike them, however, they were obviously in love. They were playing with each other, getting some private kisses in when they thought no one was looking, feeding each other and the lovey-doveyness grated on everyone and made Karthik further miserable. Anitha saw the way Karthik looked at them and smiled contemptuously.
"Just for that, you are not eating lunch."
Karthik was horrified. He had never skipped a single meal before. But, Anitha's stone face made him quail. When the air hostesses came for the lunch orders, Anitha ordered a decent lunch for herself. Not only she made Karthik watch her eat while he himself was squirming in hunger, she also made him sometimes smell the food and feed her. By the time the flight reached Dubai for a layover, Karthik was in severe hunger. At the airport, Anitha finally allowed him to go have some lunch and Karthik raced off before she could change her mind. Anitha, knowing she had got the sweet deal she wanted sat on a chair and continued contentedly with her book.
A 6 foot decently built man walked over to Anitha. Anitha had to admit that he was kind of cute and remembered seeing him a couple rows behind hers on the flight.
"Hello, gorgeous."
Normally, Anitha never encouraged such forwardness. However, she had not had sex for three weeks in India and it had put some serious dent in her inhibitions. Plus, anything to punish Karthk further and she started chatting with him too.
When Karthik came back, he was startled to see Josh and Anitha talking animatedly. Was this already happening? He walked over and started to eat. Anitha introduced Karthik as her husband to Josh expecting that would surprise him. However, Josh was hardly surprised, just gave a nod to Karthik and continued talking to Anitha. The talks were getting bolder and more flirtatious as Karthik just watched in fear. Suddenly, josh turned to Karthik.
"Fetch me a sandwich and cola."
Karthik was inflamed and opened his mouth to tell Josh to go to hell when he looked at Anitha. She was smiling but her cold eyes told him to do what he was told. Karthik brought back the sandwich.
"I want to talk to her alone. Leave us for some time." Karthik left, hating himself for being such a wimp.
When Karthik was out of earshot, Anitha asked Josh.
"How did you know?"
"I am a professional bull for cuckold couples. I have kind of a radar and I saw how you treated him in the flight."
"Professional? Don't expect a penny from me."
"Don't worry, dear. This is just pleasure, no business."
"Tell me more about your professional services" Anitha replied with air quotes. She liked where this was heading.
Karthik eventually came back when it was time for boarding. Josh had his arm around Anitha. Anitha pointed to the luggage and Karthik went to get the trolleys. Josh, however, eventually came to the other reason why he had chatted up Anitha.
"Anitha, dear" he started, smiling when he saw Karthik jump. "There was a morbidly obese woman next to me on the flight from India. She is going to US too and it is possible she might be next to me on this flight as well. Can you ask Karthik to switch seats with me?"
"Karthik, you heard the man. You will be taking his seat on the flight."
Karthik looked at them both with sadness and some rage. But, he did not dare refuse. Josh chimed in further.
"Don't worry about your wife, boy. Me and my big penis will take care of her both at the flight and later."
Even Anitha stared at him. Josh seemed to think that Karthik was small. He was in for a surprise.
