Rukmini

Chapter 11: In A State Of Shock

'WHO ARE YOU ????', I screamed.

'Me ? You don't know ? Don't tell me, you don't recognize me ?', he said as he gave me a smug smile.

I tried to clutch hard at the blanket to hide myself.

'Don't hide. We're in the same blanket, I can still feel you.', he said as he touched my upper thighs.

'Stop !!!! Who are you ?'

'You really don't know me ?', he said as he came closer to me for a kiss.

'Move away ! How did you get here ? Abhi ? Abhi, come here please !!!', I screamed as I pushed him with maximum force.

'Darling, Abhimanyu isn't here. I'm here. Now tell me why were you crying? ', he said.

'I will not tell you. I don't even know you ! First tell me who are you ? What are you doing in my bedroom ? And why isn't Abhimanyu here ?', I asked with a hint of anger in my tone.

'Well, I was the one you slept with last night. I had your body, but not your soul. You were good enough while unconscious, but are better when you're awake. Let me ...', he said as he began stroking my thighs and came closer to me.

'MOVE ! I said keep away from me. Get out of my bed. Who are you ?', I shouted and pushed him away.

'Such a wild cat .... Don't shout, no one's here to hear you, except me.', he laughed.

He came closer and almost kissed me, that's when I lost it.

I slapped him hard on his right cheek.

'RUKMINI, STAY IN YOUR LIMITS ! IF YOU'RE SMART ENOUGH, YOU'LL NEVER DO THAT AGAIN !', he shouted and squeezed my wrists tightly.

'Leave me and tell me who you are. Or else I will not spare you alive, you brute !', I screamed at him.

'You want to know ? Doesn't matter. You're already mine.'

'No I'm not. I'm not yours. I'm only Abhimanyu's. Who are you ? Tell me. I demand an answer from you right away.'

'If you must know,  I'm Aniket Dadasaheb Deshmukh. Abhimanyu's older brother. Technically your oldest brother - in-law.'

'What ?', I asked still recovering from the shock.

'Yes.'

'B-but, wh-why are you here, I mean, wh-what are you doing here, dada ?', I stuttered and asked as I broke down into more tears.

'I'm here because I can be here. And, please don't call me dada.', he said with a tone of annoyance.

'You really, I mean, were you really ..... last night, did you uh-uh, I mean ...', I struggled as I paused at a loss of words.

'Yes. We have slept together last night.', he said without any sign or hint of regret but with a tone of arrogance.

'Why ? How could you ?', I said as I cried more.

'Darling, go get the door please. Someone is knocking it.', he said and ignored my questions, as I felt disgusted.

'How can I, in this state ?', I said.

'Wear this gown.', he said as he passed a gown to me.

Somehow, I gathered the energy to do so.

I was stunned to see Abhimanyu, Rajnish and another boy with them.

I would've collapsed if Aniket wouldn't have caught me from behind as something made me feel weak in the knees.

'Abhi ?', I asked before falling to the ground.
