Bewitched

Chapter 53

Srusti's POV

" How dare you touch the girl. Can't you understand that she is saying no?? " The man said.

" Wait !! Who are you ?? Is she sleeping with you??"

" No, she is not, mind your language. I may be anyone. How dare you talk to a girl like that?? Didn't your parents teach you, how to behave decently?? " he said and punched again.

" She is my family. She eloped earlier so I was just trying to take her home. "  Gagan said.

" No !! He was trying to... To...  " I started saying but stopped.

" It's ok... You are safe now.  Call the police!! " Stranger said he was holding him while punching.

"NO !!! "  Gagan said in a louder voice.

" Call police, he needs to be punished." He said again.

" Don't !!!  Just think of your sister... I would leave her. She would die without me... "  I know he was right, my sister might die without him.

" Thanks a lot, sir... But... please let him go. " I said to the stranger with difficulty as I was still very shocked with what happened just now.

" You are doing a mistake. You don't need to be scared of him. He needs to be punished or he would bother you again. "  He said.

" His wife is my sister. She is pregnant and her condition is very critical as her pregnancy is really difficult. She may die of shock. Please leave him. I don't want to press any charges against him. " I said while my tears were still flowing.

" Are you sure ?? "  He asked with genuine concern and I nodded. He released his grip on his collar and let him go with a warning to mend his ways or he would file a complaint. Gagan ran off the moment he loosened up his grip on Gagan.

" Thank you so much !!! " I said.

" Oh please, don't say it. It was my duty.  But as a brother, I would suggest that you should take an action against him. "

" I care about my sister as she is my only blood relation now. I can't lose her too. "

" Ok, but you need to be strong. " He was saying and just then I heard the cry of a baby and for the first time, I realised that there was a twin baby crib there.

He went towards it and tried to soothe the crying baby. But it kept crying. He picked it out of the pram. It was a pretty girl and just then another child also started crying and wanted to be carried in arms too.

" Oh, God!! Not again...  Why do you both cry at the same time?? " 

The macho man looked helpless all of a sudden.

" May I ?? "

" Hmmm ?? "

" May I hold one of them and try to soothe her.  "

" You would?? "

" I would love to... If you don't mind. "

" No, I don't... Please do it. I would call my wife here. She went to the restroom. Let's go and sit at that coffee joint till she comes back.  "  He said And I nodded. We went there.

" Hey !! Where are you?? Come back fast beautiful, our daughters are giving me a though time. Come to the coffee joint. " He was talking to his wife. He seemed to be so much in love with her.

I patted the crying child and she stopped crying and looked at me with her round eyes. I touched her cute button nose and she giggled. Then I  tickled under her chin and she made a happy sound.
