*Satvi Pov* “Ouch!” I said when I felt a small kick in my leg. I glanced up from the plate to stare at the culprit who has a frown on his face completely lost in his thoughts. So, I calmly but with more force kicked his leg back, and he hissed before looking at me with narrowed eyes. I suddenly thought he would scream or something, but what he did is just another kick to my leg. “Why are you kicking me?” I asked him frowning. “You are the one who did it.” He replied shaking his head. “I did it because you did it before that.” I explained and stood up losing my appetite with the bickering. “Oh! I am so…” I cut him off shouting “Stop!” covering my ears and closed my eyes. “Why?” he asked when I uncovered my ears with surprise tone. “Say anything but don’t say sorry. It sounds so alien to hear it from you.” I replied, not looking back and started walking towards the stairs to sleep. He apologized yesterday morning, but the words are still ringing in my ears. If I heard him again
*Satvi Pov* After a few seconds he slowly stepped back and turned towards me even more slowly with a hand covering his mouth casually. I didn’t look away because I know something is definitely wrong with the look he has in his eyes. He moved his hand away, gesturing at the cloth he tied around my face and shook his head a little. And then slowly placed his finger on his lips. When I nodded, understanding his words, he calmly sighed and turned towards the door saying, “Mother!” Mother? He has a mother? That is so stupid of me. Of course, he will have a mother, but why is he so cold towards her too. Maybe this is his personality with everyone! I thought, frowning but brushed my thoughts away when a short woman walked inside with the head held high. “Where have you been, Rohan? It’s like you have disappeared from the world.” She asked him shaking her head. “I am busy with work!” he simply replied, and I leaned on the table with my hand under my chin, and even a little yawn left my
*Satvi Pov* “What are you doing?” I heard a question coming from behind me. “Playing cricket!” I replied without turning around and continued to play. “Really?” he asked in a sarcastic tone and then sat in the chair which is directly in front of me and a table is dividing us. “Yes! Want to play?” I asked him showing my mini bat and ball I made with flour in the evening. “Have you lost your mind?” he asked, shaking his head. “That is your profession and sorry to say, but I feel that profession very boring, so I never showed any interest.” I replied smiling sweetly and placed the wickets properly. “Will you play or not?” I added playing with the ball in my hand. “No! I don’t have time to waste on these kind of things.” He said and started getting up. “Why? Are you scared?” I asked him smirking hearing which he sat down. “Scared? I am best in cricket. Are you?” He asked arrogantly. “No! But I at least have dare to play and also have dare to lose. Do you have that… Dare?” I ask
*Satvi Pov* “So, who was she? I mean, who was the stalker?” those are the words which came out when he entered our room. After he left, I started thinking about the paper. And in the end when I got a sniff of scent around the paper, I can feel that the stalker is a woman. “No one!” he mumbled, walking towards the wardrobe and his answer confirmed my thoughts. “Ok! The stalking is on you right?” I asked him with hope hearing, which he turned around to look at me. “Yes!” He replied, but I ignored his words because something else caught my sight. “Of course! You went to meet this stalker of yours.” I said with narrowed eyes. “What?” he asked back, but I am already planning a murder in my mind staring at the lipstick marks on his shirt. “You are having an affair.” I replied and pointed to the marks. He glanced at them and then understood my words. He sighed before asking, “Will there be any difference, whether I am cheating or not?” “You are a married man.” I said, hoping that m
*Satvi Pov* “Did we get any parcel today?” He asked, walking inside the kitchen. “Nothing!” I replied, not turning around. “What happened to you?” he asked, standing beside me. “Nothing!” I replied, turning away and it is feeling more than déjà vu because the same thing is repeating for the past two days. Now like every day he will leave the kitchen giving a shrug, and I would continue my ignoring task in which I am getting failed pretty badly. By this ignoring task, I realized that he never talks to me about any normal things. What he always talks is about his wife, mainly and then some situations in which he can compare both of us. And then about the new thing which is happening from the past one week. The stupid parcels which are getting increased, but for now they have been reduced. Of course, he talks about his work a very little through which I can’t know anything about it properly. Yesterday I took lots of calmness inside so that I will not burst out at him and asked pe
*Satvi Pov* “You can’t sleep like that.” I heard his order and even felt him shaking me. “I can sleep and you are no one to stop me.” I mumbled swatting his hands away so that he will not disturb me again. “I am the one who is fulfilling your wish.” He said swatting my hands back. “So? Should I give up my sleep for you?” I asked him opening my eyes. “I am not getting any sleep. And the reason for that is you so you should give me company.” He replied glaring at me. “Who doesn’t get sleep on a plane? Shall I sing you a lullaby?” I asked him with sarcasm, but he frowned like thinking about it and nodded. “Uhmm... ok! Let’s try that and I hope you have a good voice.” He replied, closing his eyes and leaned back. “Look, there are just two more hours before we land in the city, and it is still early in the morning. I don’t want to sleep even a wink when we go there so let me sleep for now.” I said hoping that he will understand. “What will you do if I sleep in the hotel?” he asked
*Satvi Pov* “Satvi!” I heard his voice calling me, and I glanced away from the wall to see him standing near me. “Huh?” I asked him, frowning coming out of my thoughts. “Dinner?” he asked back, and I nodded understanding it. We both walked towards the dining table and started having our dinner in which I have no interest at all, but if I try to skip it-like last week, then he will keep on pestering me, which involves him being near me which I don’t want at present. What happened to me? What am I even thinking? I thought, shaking my head to keep any thoughts out of my way. I took a slight peek at him and saw that he is behaving the same like he was before the trip we took last week. Why will he behave differently? What difference does anything make to him? I took a deep breath and finished the food before him and walked inside our room to sleep before him like every day or at least act like I am sleeping. After some time, he entered the room and lay on the bed but stayed at his
*Satvi Pov* “I hate you so much that no one in this world must have hated anyone like me.” Hate? I thought, chuckling with no humor in it. I may have hated him in the beginning when he blackmailed me and even married me planning his so-called revenge, but I don’t remember that feeling at all. I am such a liar! I thought, leaning on the cupboards. After getting out, I directly walked inside the kitchen and just sat on the floor with no plan of seeing him at all. He left immediately after a few minutes, but I didn’t move. I don’t even want to move even though it is already evening. My legs are completely numb at present for sitting here in the same position without moving. Why is it paining so much to think about what is I to him? I thought regardless of the fact that I already know the answer. I love him! That is only the reason, but how can I fall for him? I shouldn’t fall for him. He is not at all the type of person with whom I normally fall for. This is his entire fault! I th
*Satvi Pov* “Have you finished?” I heard the words which have too much excitement making me chuckle. “Nope!” I replied, looking up to see my Sister immediately frowning hearing my answer. “What? How much time will you take? If you forgot this is the start of the weekend.” She said, sitting down in front of me. “You should complain to your husband little Sister because I am doing his work, and my work is already finished.” I said smiling at her. “He just escaped from doing his work, but acted like he is doing us a favor taking care of the kids.” She said rolling her eyes. “Actually, he made it sound like a big favor when he got to know that Rohan will accompany him.” I pointed out, and she nodded. “I don’t know why my Son got a holiday today otherwise he didn’t need a babysitter, and your Son would be here beside you because of which you would work fast like every day to get him home.” She said gesturing at the small space with protection around, I had gotten inside my cabin for
*Rohan Pov* I just sat there staring at the wall after she left thinking about what I had just done. Did she really leave me? However, this is what I wanted right like she has a chance to choose properly before I could say or do something, which can change her thoughts. What if she decides not to come back to me and thinks that it is better to not be married to me? I know she didn’t like the person I was when she didn’t remember me, and I can’t let her tie to me only because she fell for me before. We both will live a full life of regrets if we continue like this not giving any thought to all the questions, which will arise for every single moment of our life. She already had to fight for her life and then the crazy stalking just because of my family, and she would have been safe if it isn’t for them. I still can’t believe that they did all these things even after having a talk with my step-brother. “Why did you do it?” I asked him standing on the outside of his cell. “For mon
*Satvi Pov* “What? Don’t worry, I will be there soon.” I said, hanging up and rushed towards the main door. ‘What the hell!’ I mumbled to myself trying to unlock the door again, but it is not at all opening. Did I forget the spelling of my second name or what? I thought, trying it repeatedly, but it is not quite opening much to my annoyance. I immediately called him and waited for him to pick up the call hoping I will be able to speak normally with him after his silent treatment he is giving from the past one week. After that stupid incident that happened here and all the law procedures, I thought everything would be fine, but it is not quite that simple. It’s not like he is getting away from me, but I can feel the distance and also the less talking. I sighed and waited for him to lift it. “Hello? Are you ok? Did something happen?” He immediately threw the questions at me. “Yes! Something actually happened. The door is not opening with the same name. Did you change it?” I aske
*Satvi Pov* “What... what do you mean?” I asked him stuttering hoping that this is some kind of joke. “What I mean is that, I have your husband at the end of my gun point. If you want to save him then be at your home soon releasing the people you just got arrested.” He replied in a simple tone. “Don’t come here!” I heard a shout from the background which belongs to Rohan making me cover my mouth in relief that at present he is alive. “Why are you doing this? I mean you want to harm me right then why now change of plan?” I asked him, and Shankar tapped my shoulder mumbling ‘Who are you talking to?’ “Well, you just got my Mom and my fiancé arrested so I am changing my target.” He replied in a sarcastic tone. “So, be here soon after you get both released. And don’t do any stupid thing because I have my man in that group of people who are there to arrest them.” He added before hanging up. “I didn’t get a single word. Now tell me who is it and what are you saying.” Shankar asked and
*Satvi Pov* “No!” he shouted before I could say my decision to him making me roll my eyes a little. “Listen!” I mumbled dragging him towards the couch, but he just kept on shaking his head holding the paper tightly in his hands. “This will be the chance we are waiting for.” I said staring at his face. “Like I said, it is absolutely a no.” he said staring back. “Then what do you wish to do? Live in fear for the rest of our lives?” I asked him frowning. “I don’t have any problem with that option actually. You are not going to go and meet this person.” He replied and I really want to strangle him. “Well, I can’t stay here forever in a locked place. I want to go out on my own and do something with my life. And who knows even my family must be in danger too.” I said feeling frustrated. “Get used to this place, and I will bring them here as well if you want. But you are not going to enter this trap, they laid for you.” He said showing the paper to my face. I glanced at the paper we
*Satvi Pov* “What are you thinking so much about?” I asked him teasingly while he just shook his head continuing to read the paper. “Someone of us must be cautious, right? Why did you go to the office, yesterday?” he asked angrily. “I... Went to see, Leela. I just wanted to know about her health as she needs to take care of herself.” I replied frowning. “So? Do you want to die again?” He asked not reducing his voice at all. “You are talking like I want all this to happen to me. She is six months pregnant, and I fear for her as that stupid murderer can attack anyone I know.” I replied stepping back with fisted hands. “And I went with all the security like you want me to. If you think all these things happening to us are because of me, then just let me know.” I added staring at him. “What will you do if I say that?” he asked raising his eyebrow. “I may just help the stalker with the work.” I replied, shrugging and started walking towards our room. “Look, I am just tired of all
*Satvi Pov* I glanced up from my plate of food which is just being played by me and saw that even Rohan is doing the same thing but has a tight grip on his phone. God! All this still feels like a big dream, but I know how I saw him when he said I am a killer, and he needs some revenge and then fell for him slowly. Now I can feel fine and think that I am not crazy falling for literally a kidnapper. My heart must have known him even when my brain forgot him. I frowned, looking at his stress expression and cleared my throat, but he is not at all giving me any attention. I sighed, getting up from my seat and sat beside him, placing my hand on his. “You know what?” I asked him to which he glanced at me. “What?” he asked, frowning. “Now I understand why I felt so terror of the water and all those stupid nightmares.” I replied playing with his hand. “What? When?” he asked still frowning. “When you took me to Kolkata for my birthday as per my wish.” I replied. “You felt scared and g
#PRESENT#*Rohan Pov* “Rohan!” she said, poking my shoulder, which she is doing from the time she became Satvi and not my Swetha. “What?” I asked, opening my eyes sighing. “What happened next? I mean, maybe even before.” she asked, staring at my face, but not into my eyes. “When?” I asked her frowning, not understanding her question. “The accident!” she replied, placing her head on my chest and closed her eyes. “So much!” I mumbled remembering all of it. “Tell me!” she stressed calmly. “No!” I said not wanting to remember all of it. “Please! Just tell me everything and even tell me how you designed this devilish revenge plan.” She said looking up at me with a smile, and I smiled shaking my head. “You will laugh about the chaos, I went through.” I said, but she gave her famous pleading look. “Ok! But tell me one thing. Did you really forget about me or just decided to be like that as you said to me before the accident?” I asked her the question which is killing me in my subc
*Rohan Pov* “Do you need to leave so soon again?” I asked her frowning, but she didn’t turn around from the mirror and continued brushing her hair. “Yeah! Leela needs my help with the arrangements.” She replied in a normal tone and walked towards her bag. “Wait for some time! I will drop you there.” I said, getting up from the bed. “No! You are not getting good sleep with all the work. So just lay down and take a rest for some more time. I have the driver and the bodyguard with me right.” she said, hugging me a little and walked outside the room. It’s been two weeks since that stupid incident happened, but I can see that it didn’t leave from around us. I don’t even know why it is affecting her so much when I am assuring her that I only love her. To top of that mother started saying that I would find another girl and leave Swetha for good, and she is just listening to everything calmly looking away from us. I just hope she too doesn’t think the same and understand my words.
