Illusion

 " The desire to be loved is just an illusion , give it up and you will be free " 

​​​It was nearly dusk . The sun was in its horizon  . It was almost in its verge to get disappeared from the sky . It was radiating its yellow beams inside my hospital room . Few minutes left it will be night . The swallow birds appeared so contented going back to their nest . I was oblivious . Do I am also going back to the home whom I don't recognized  .  Why I don't feel this contention  , this happiness of going home . A person without its memories is so incomplete . 

I was laying stiff on the patient's bed . My eyes not leaving the sight of the person claiming himself as my husband . Two days back , I was horrified when a stranger barged into my room and declared that he is my husband  but here he was in fore to me .

Now when I am taking a proper look on him The sunshine strike on his face making it glistered . This man is an impeccable specimen . He is really handsome . No ! he is not just handsome but he is truly an Adonis . I wonder how I  get to marry him . He was sitting straight on the chair before me . His legs were kept relaxed on the lap of his other leg . His jaguar like Grey orbs were boring holes in me . I really feel uncomfortable under his stares . I was flustered . Is he my husband? . Really ? . 

I chewed my lips before asking timidly ;" Are you my husband " I said . His face was cold like ice . It emanates no emotions . I wonder when he has last smiled . His pinkish  lips smirked before saying ;" yes !" . His voice is so husky  and raucous . He was giving me goosebumps but I needed to confront him for my safety . I asked curiously ;" what's your name ?" .

He adjusted his black coat and answered ;" Magnus de Lorenzo " firmly . His voice laid authority and dominance . He can shake any body's confident just by staring . I bowed my head as chills spread my body . This was something I never felt before . He got that strong aura around him .  I heard him saying ;" and .... you are my wife .... PETAL DE LORENZO " which made me raise my head  in.astonishment . My brows inadvertently knitted . I felt bewildered  . Petal !  .  The name felt so foreign . 

Alas ! I couldn't even remember my own name . 

How would I remember that he is my husband . 

The person standing beside him handed me a document . I looked at the marriage certificate . I  checked the papers vigorously .  My eyes bugged . It says me and he are married . We got married for a month before my accident . My lips quivered and shut down . I don't know what to say . He really is my husband? . But why don't I see those longingness and love in his Grey orbs that a husband should behold for his wife . In what condition we got married ? .

I checked him out while he stands up from his sit " come home " he demanded me before  stylishly striding out of the room . I held my head . Why don't I remember anything . My head still ache due to all the efforts I was causing to regain my memories  . The doctors adviced to not to make it overstressed.  

                           ******

I remained seated in the black BMW car . With my husband ? . No ! He was riding in different car . We seems very distant to each other . He didnot  even hugged me or touched me . A husband should be perturbed hearing his wife's accident but there wasn't even a frown on his face Or may be his way of showing love or worry  is distinct ? .

After an hour we reached somewhere in sicily . I glance throught the window the creaking open of the huge gate and can we entered the car inside ,  the huge mansion appeared to my sight . 

The territory was enormous . This is not just a house but a citadel . It was  almost appearing like a castle . What does he do to own such magnificent property . It was like he is some kind of ruler .  It appeared my husband is quite rich  .

Our car stopped before the entry of mansion 's door . I slowly climbed down the car incorporating the views  vividly  in my brain but noting feels familiar . It's all new . I slowly entered the mansion bashfully after him . The entrance let us to the main hall . My eyes bugged as I saw everything so luxurious . The hall  was big that it can be converted into a cottage house . In the middle  of the hall there was  a huge chandelier hanging above the sitting . As I crooked my neck I saw the Leopard's skull mounted on the wall . I felt little unpleasant  . 

The maid rushed to their master as he sat on the sitting . The middle aged woman  whom I saw at the hospital also  arrived . He moved his index finger , " take Madam to her room " he ordered . His fingers find its way toward his curls stroking it  .  Hot ! Wait ! Her room ! . Do we not live in the same room . We are husband wife . Aren't we supposed to live under the roof of same room . I felt uneasy  and  doubtful . 

The maid lead me to the room ," Ma'am ... I am Clara.. sir has informed me to take care of your health " she mouthed . I hummed in agreement . The corridor towards my room was huge but it was weird that it has only two rooms out of which one was mine . I wonder another room is of whose . I knitted my brows ;" whose room is that Clara? " I pointed at the closed room . I looked at Clara.

Her expression changed in a flip of the moment . She felt so nervous . Her hands were sweating ," .  Ma ...Ma'am.. no one is allowed in that room except Master ...I hope you will not jeopardize him " she pleaded . She hide her trembling hands  . I nodded to her pleaded . 

I entered my room . It was elegant . The room's wall were painted in lilac color and all other fixtures were white in color providing a perfect muse  .  There was a small tea table near the window with some lily flowers kept in the vase . It was like a room some Disney princess but there was no pictures of mine or us  . I checked the wardrobe  . It was filled with definite woman clothing .

I took one dress out and smiled  on it . It was washed . The fragnant of soup invade my nostril but still it doesn't help me to recall anything . I frowned as I roamed all my room but nothing familiar  . Why can't I recall anything ? . I heard Clara," Ma'am I think you should take a rest ....I will wake you up on dinner timing " she asked . I nodded to her ;" thank you " I said . 

                      *********

It was dark when I woke up after taking a nap  . I relaxed my arms as I felt stiff and my mouth opened to  yawn  . I slowly slided the quilt off my body . The blood moon was vivid through the window . I looked at the clock it was eight of night . My stomach growled as it needed something to fill . My naked feet find it way through the corridor  . I suddenly halt before the locked room . My brows knitted . 

what is the mystery of this room  ? .

Why no one is allowed to enter ? . ​​​

My curious mind over took it . It  was thinking that the mystery needed to be solved . No ! Magnus doesn't want anyone to enter this door but who will know that i entered it if i won't tell anyone . I smirked as I slowly opened the door creating its creaking voice . I timidly made my way inside .
