The next morning, I was all alone in bed. I don't know why but I didn't like it. Today, we were going to my parent's house so I got dressed. Dar was at night but prarthi told me to come early. I stood at the window admiring the day and waiting for him but as I looked down he was on the bench reading newspaper. Was he not going with me? Maybe he doesn't want to go? Why would he? He doesn't owe me anything but they want to see him more than me. That's why they called us early. My legs took me to the garden. I stood staring at his back, thinking if I should go near him or not. He kept the newspaper and looked straight. What if he says he doesn't want to go? What am I gonna say to my sister? My parents will taunt me the whole day for not being able to bring him. No, I will beg him to go with me. If he doesn't go with me then they will eat my brain and make it impossible for me to live. I slowly went and sat on the bench. Five minutes went by and neither he said a word nor did I. Tina bro
I went straight to take a shower to cool my mind. I sat in the shower feeling bad about everything. My energy was totally drained. I shouldn't have gone there but if I had not, they would have come here or called the devil to visit them. Anyhow they would have made me go there. The water running out of the shower washed all the bad energy out of my body. My tears didn't stop and I wept my heart out. This never-ending pain was too much to bear. If it had come from a guy I would have left him, If it had come from a friend I would have ignored her or cut her out of my life but this was coming from my parents. What could I do instead of accepting it and letting it destroy me? You can't choose your family. You can only learn to live with it, live with them. Nearly an hour later I came out and got ready to sleep but there was no sign of him. I looked around and went to his office. He was not there. I came back and sat on the bed. "Where was he?" I got up and looked outside from the windo
The Shiva temple was half an hour far from where we lived. It was near the jungle and the devotees' crowd was huge and the line? oh, don't even ask about the line in the temple. It felt like the whole city's women were there and even males. We came back like maybe five hours after worshipping Shivaji. I was worn out. My legs were hurt and my feet were aching. We came inside and found out Rima had already left. I went straight to the room and got freshened up. I didn't like what I saw in the mirror. The girl in front of me was unrecognizable and remembered that I haven't thanked him. He entered the room and I could see he was exhausted too. He gave me a tired smile. "Thanks," I looked anywhere but him. I felt his eyes on me. He must be thinking why I was thanking him. "For this," I showed him the sari which I had taken off and placed on the couch. "And this too," I looked at the sari I was wearing. I was wearing another sari that I found in the closet. It was the same color, red tha
The next morning, after I prepared breakfast I went to the garden without having it. I wanted to have it with him and when I asked Tina to call him, she said he wasn't in his office. So, I decided to do some gardening. I was enjoying gardening when he came with breakfast. I looked at him and he smiled. "Let's eat," he said. His voice was soft and he seemed happy. I washed my hands and sat on the bench. We then ate in silence. "If you don't mind, I was thinking.. if...you know..i .... I want to take you out...." He whispered in nervousness, playing with his hand. I looked at him and laughed a little. Was he nervous? I just sat there looking at him and he frowned at his hands when I said nothing. "For... dinner," he hesitated. "I didn't mean to.....laugh," I apologized. Questions filled my mind. I mean he never asked me to go out before so why now? "Before? Girl, you have been married for what maybe 10 days?" I told myself. I was in my own thoughts while he was looking
I was still furious about the kiss and more than that I was angry with him for forgetting me while Ratna was there. I skipped breakfast so I didn't have to see him. I came down to tell Tina that I would be preparing for lunch. Tina told me not to make food spicy because he doesn't eat spicy food. "Be careful. He can't tolerate it," "Can't tolerate, huh?" I smirked while saying that in my head. I told her, I will make sure not to make the food spicy but guess what? I made it so spicy that even the spicy lover would run from the food. I giggled thinking about how I was gonna make him pay. I imagined him rushing to drink milk or water screaming in pain. I knew, that it would make him angry but who cares. Once I prepared food I asked Tina to call him. "He will love this all," she said before leaving to call him. After a few minutes, she came back to let me know that he would want to have his dinner inside his office. It made me angry but when Tina took food to his office I felt qui
For three days, I didn't see him anywhere. At night I would feel him beside me in the bed. He would pull me close and in the morning he used to be gone. To be honest I didn't like it and wanted to ask him where he was gone all day but didn't cause it felt like he wouldn't care. Today, it was different. I found him beside me in the morning and automatically smile came on my face. I watched his sleeping figure and couldn't stop myself from caressing his cheeks. His breathing got heavy and suddenly he caught my hand slowly opening his eyes. I was about to speak but he placed his finger before my lips and hushed me. He looked at me and tucked my hair behind my ear. "I want to ask you something," He whispered. I looked at him confused. What does he want to ask me? Is he thinking of taking me out again? I nodded. "Um....Ratna..." Hearing that name got me angry and I abruptly got up but he was still holding my hand. "Leave me," I tried to get out of his hold. "First listen," he didn't
After lunch, Tina came to tell me that he called me in the garden. I rolled my eyes not bothering to move. Who does he think he is? "I am not going," I told myself. If he wants to talk he can come where I am but after some time I went thinking what if it's about the deal? I groaned and went to the garden. He was standing at a side of a tree, his back facing me. He was looking in the distance, his hands in his pockets. He seemed to be in deep thought. I wanted to know what he was thinking. I went and sat on the bench. "I don't have enough time," I said not looking at him. From the corner of my eyes, I saw him turn around. He was silent. I looked at him to find he was smiling, looking at me. "You are impossible," He said grinning while shaking his head. "Thank you very much. This is what you called me here to say?" I asked rolling my eyes. I couldn't stop rolling my eyes and it was his fault. "I want to talk to you about my friends," Friends? Oh, yeah, probably about his best f
It had been a week since he left but no sign of him coming back. I couldn't help but think about him every day. He would call me and I would pick up the phone acting like I was bored or annoyed but truth be told I would wait for his call. He would say to me about how boring his days were going on and I would listen to his voice in excitement. He then would tease me saying "I know you miss me," and I would smile rolling my eyes. I was waiting for him to come back but days were passing by without any sign of it. While on the call he apologized that he couldn't come back. "I am trying so hard but these work things are getting complicated day by day," "No worries," I replied. "I miss you," he whispered and my heart almost stopped. "I don't," I mentioned. "I know you do," he teased. Of course, I do He was not willing to hang up the call but I had to with a heavy heart thinking he must finish his work so he could be here with me. For that, he can't always be on the call with me. "B
I started the engine and then we drove inside the forest towards our home. We were both silent and then she started to look around and gave me a confused look. I knew what was coming. "Where are we going?" She asked. "I told you, to my place,""No, stop the car," she said but I didn't."I said....,""Ok," I cut her off.I stopped and turned to look at her."Where are you taking me inside this forest?" She asked."I told you, to my place," "It's weird," she kept looking around."What do you think I am doing? Kidnapping you?""I changed my mind. I don't wanna go. Take me back," she said and I almost lost my mind.What does she mean by changed her mind?"You know that they are already at my house," "I don't care. I should have listened to Kusma. I.... Just take me back or let me go," she said but I didn't unlock the door."Sorry but I can't let you go," I said starting the engine. She gave me a look but I ignored her. I knew she gonna hate me after this but I didn't care."I am not g
I got out of the car and looked at the palace where many workers were working. One of the guards came to pick my bag but I refused. As I walked inside the palace I forgot everything but my Gurans. I went straight to my room and it was all clean and back to how it used to be. I had told them to focus first on our room so they did as I had told them.I sat on the bed and looked around. I realized I can't live here without her. I got up and walked out. "I need this mansion back to its form in 2 days. I don't care how you do it or how many workers you need," I said and everyone gave me that how we gonna do it in two days look. I walked out of the mansion but Sanskrit stopped me."Amol, where are you going?""You can go back to the palace and help Rima in her work. I will be gone for a few days. Don't try to find me," Without waiting for him to speak, I left.I went towards where Gurans and her friends had gone. It took a day for me to find her and then I kept eye on her for a few days.
She looked at me and then looked at her friends. I waited for her to answer."We came here to trek," the guy came forward."So what are you doing here alone?" Gurans asked me instead of replying to my question.I shrugged "Wanted to be alone," still not taking eyes off her."Alone?" The girl asked. She seemed shocked.I nodded."Alone in this forest?" Gurans asked looking around and I almost laughed looking at her face. I don't know why I wasn't angry. She always did this to me. Whenever she was with me no anger came to me. I was always calm and happy around her. I could not explain how happy I felt having her in front of me. The only thing that hurt was her not recognizing me or say refusing to recognize me."You can join us if you would like," the guy offered but I shook my head."Let me fill this bottle first," Gurans said walking towards the river and started to fill the water in the bottle. She came towards me drinking the water and then smiled at me."It tastes so good," she s
* 15 months later *I was in my office when I heard a knock on the door. It had been almost five months since I somehow managed to control myself and the pain inside me. Twenty-four hours I would be in the office and make myself busy so I don't have to think of her and stop myself from feeling the pain of her leaving me. I looked at the door and it was Rima."Hello," she said and I turned my eyes back to my laptop."Let's eat breakfast together," she walked inside. It was her everyday routine, to wake up and come to annoy me by asking me to eat with her. Rima was now a vampire. She successfully turned again and was annoying like always. She sat on the chair but I ignored her."Come on, please," she almost begged but I acted like she wasn't there."Until when?" She questioned. I wanted to tell her until death came to me but it wasn't going to come cause I was a vampire. People talk about how they wanna go to heaven or how somebody will go to hell for their sins but for me, this lif
Amol's PovWe were happy again. Life turned out to be peaceful and beautiful like Gurans. We were having breakfast when Zar entered. I knew what he came for. "Amol," he said as he entered.We all got up out of respect for him but he showed his hand for us to sit. He sat on a chair in front of me and our new maid, Bindhya came with a plate of food for Zar. She was a vampire and younger than us. Maybe in her late teens. She was very young so I had refused to give her any work but she insisted that she was 18+ and an adult. I wanted to refuse again but Rima asked me to take her in so I did. She was a very good cook. After we were done eating, we sat in the living room. "I know why you are here," I said to Zar before he could speak."The throne can't be left there without the king," Zar said."I know,""Then what are you waiting for?" he asked."I don't want to be the king...." I said and everyone looked at me at once. Gurans slowly placed her hand on mine and squeezed a little. "When my
Gurans's povThe two vampires standing before me were tall. They were wearing a black long coat. One vampire had grey hair while the other had blue. They tied me up and were all ready to draw blood out of my arm. I wanted to stop them so I started to scream and they glared at me."I am hungry," I said."You will be dead in a few hours so it doesn't matter," the vampire with grey hair said.I got scared cause I didn't want to die without seeing Amol. I needed to see him once. I was about to speak when the witches walked in."We want to have the taste of that blood," the witch with the blue necklace said."You can't have a single drop without the permission of the king, Sneha," the blue-haired vampire said."Robin is right," the witch with the blue bracelet said."Stop being so scared, Sakuna. He wouldn't know," Sneha replied.Sneha started walking towards me. The grey-haired vampire stood in front of Sneha. He shook his head asking her to stop. "Come on, Prabhakar. Move out of the wa
Vampire king's pov"Brother," I smiled.Amol seemed shocked at hearing me call Zar my brother. Yes, He was my brother whom I had loved with my everything. But he left me all alone when I needed him the most. *Flash back*Decades ago we lived a very happy life. We were orphans but we had each other. As a big brother, he took care of me and I did the same but one night something happened that changed our life.While I was walking home something strange happened to me. Something came in like thin air and stung me on my neck. At first, I didn't know what had happened to me and then it started to burn me. That's when I ran home screaming Yugal's name. "Yugal, Yugal," I screamed in pain as he came out of the house. He had worry written all over his face."What happened?" he asked me coming towards me but stopped right away when he understood something wrong had happened to me."It... hurts, Yugal. It hurts," I showed him my neck from where blood was coming out."Something came and bit me
Vampire king's PovThe day was here. The day, when I was finally going to have the taste of the magic blood which was on the girl's body whom my son had married.I thought Amol had married her for the blood but I was wrong. He married her to protect her. Not to get the blood for us. I thought he was walking in my footsteps but he wasn't. He chose her instead of us, his parents. I was waiting in Tanahun for my wife, Anima to bring that girl to me. When I saw the car park inside the palace, I smiled. I was more than happy. I was so impressed with my wife who was the mastermind of all our plans. I doubted a little but well she proved me wrong. She never ceased to amaze me.The witches took the girl out of the car and dragged her inside the palace. They took her towards the room where I told them to keep her. I watched her trying to get out of the hold but she couldn't. I laughed a little thinking how pathetic she was. She was the strongest vampire of all and she couldn't even fight my w
Amol took me to the secret room and asked me to sit there. It was in the rooftop where nobody would think of going. The room was in the dark corner side of the house where the store room was."Why?" I questioned him."My mother might come here anytime and I don't want her to see you. She comes almost every day to check," I sadly nodded at him thinking now I have to live alone in this room."Don't worry. I will be here with you too," he said and a smile escaped my lips."Really?" Amol nodded and I pulled him into a hug."Oh, Amol,""How could you even think I would leave you alone," he said.We slept in that room for a few hours. When I woke up Amol was not in the room. I got scared. I was about to get up to leave the room when he walked inside. "Where were you?" I asked and he showed me a tray."Food," he said with a smile. "I would rather want to eat that smile than the food," I said biting my lips lightly and he grinned."Is that so? You want to take this smile away from me?" He
