Together Forever!

Chapter Eight

Aisha's POV :

Last night when Dev met Ishan I guess he got jealous. I know my husband hates to see other guys with me. But, seriously Ishan is not like that he is my childhood friend and we know each other quit well.

Today morning when I came out of the bathroom, I heard Dev talking to someone in tension. I couldn't hear his conversation but, he looked worried to me. He quickly ended the call seeing me and then left in a hurry.

I wonder what's happening to him? And I'm having another feeling from morning like something is not good.

Yesterday when he forced me to kiss him, yes I did feel very hurt but then I know there is something which is worrying him and he's not telling me.
I can feel something in not normal. I asked him but he said nothing. Doesn't he know I can read through him well?

I am in office right now, I tried calling Dev and asking is he fine or not, I'm having a wired kind feeling from the morning. But, my husband is not wanting to speak to me for God knows what reason. And he didn't pick my calls.

Tring...tring...tring... My phone rang. Bringing me out of my thoughts. I looking, at an unknown number. I picked it up.

"Hello!"... I said.

"Hi! Is this Aisha Verma?" Asked a female voice.

"Yes'! It is"
I said wondering who is this addressing me as Verma?

"Do you remember me?"
She asked again.

"If you tell me your name then maybe I can try to recognize!"
I stated the fact.

"I'm Neha... Neha Desai"
She said boldly.

My blood shot up hearing her name. She is my childhood enemy from school days... God! above knows how she even came to the same college.

"Neha how can I forget you?"
I tell her sarcastically.

"Well good you remember"
She also says the same way.

"Why did you call? And where did you get my number from?" I asked her again curiously.

"Ho! that was not tough to get. Anyways, I called to share some good news"
She said lovingly.

That means something is really not good. I said told myself.

"What is it?"
I ask in a shaky voice.

"I have sent you some pictures and videos on your email check it" She said and I heard her evil laugh.

I immediately looked into my laptop which is already on the desk. I went to my email box and found her name, clicking on it opening the files my world shattered. I am speechless seeing these images in front of my eyes. I don't know when tears just started to flow down my face.

"Hello"! She said across the phone again.

But, I didn't answer. What would I say after seeing this?

"Liked the pictures and specially the video?"
She asks sweetly.

"What is all this? This can't be true" I wishperd softly in fear.

"You know he was so good in bed. I loved every way he touched me and...

I cut her off there...
"Shut up Neha, that's enough"
I screamed through the phone.

I stood up from the chair and shut my laptop.

"Dare you say another word from your filthy mouth. I will kill you...I swear!"
I therthend her.

"Ho I got scared!"
She said sarcastically.

"Neha you...
I was about say but she spoke before.

"Listen, If you don't believe me then go and ask your husband directly, you will get to know the truth yourself"
She said and cut the call.

What happened just now? Is this the reason he's behaving like that past so many days. I can't believe it! My Dev can never do something like this. I trust him completely.

He would never in his dreams cheat on me. I know Neha hates me from childhood. She and Ravi were best friends and when Ravi got married to me, she was furious. But, then she just disappeared somewhere.

Now after so many years she has come back only to take revenge. I'm sure. I have learned to recognize people now days. I'm no more that stupid and innocent Aisha. I have to find out the truth. I won't ask Dev anything now.
I need to plan something fast.

....................................

In the evening after reaching home, In the kitchen I'm preparing dinner with Geeta. As suddenly Rahul came in and stood in front of me.

"Aisha ma! I need talk with you!" He said a little off tone.

I understood that he is in some problem because, then only he'll call me Aisha ma!
He calls me like this only when he's nervous or tensed.

"What is it Rahul?"
I ask him calmly.

He came close and held my wrist tightly dragging me out of the kitchen.

"Rahul tell me what's wrong? Where are you talking me?"
I asked him only to be pulled more faster.

He brought me to his room and pushed me inside closing the door with a bang.

"Rahul what has happened to you?" I asked him loudly.

He goes near his study table and takes out an envelope from his drawer and hands it to me.

"See this"... He said harshly.

"What is in it?" I asked him strangely.

"Look at it for yourself"
He says with anger, frustration and many more emotions which's telling me there is nothing good in this envelope.

Slowly with shaky hands opening the envelope I found some pictures of Dev with Neha!  That's it, everything sewpped away under me.

I sat back down on the floor. Tears started flowing on their own.

"Mumma! I've been flowing them past a week from the day Nani said she saw him going out at night and he returned in the morning. I have been going behind him everywhere and I have also noticed the way he is acting with you. I have collected information as much as possible by me. I don't know why or what is the reason for him to do all this. But, it is true"
He ended with a long breath.

He went near the bedside table bringing me a glass of water.
I controlled my tears to have some water. He made me sit on the bed and sat down holding my hand.

"Mumma say something!"
He told me softly.

"I don't know what to say Rahul, I love him too much to even doubt on him. I can't live without him, I am in a situation where I can't swallow nor spit. I still don't believe all this!"
I say in a whisper.

"What will we do now? How are we going to ask him and get to know the truth?"
Asks a worried and concerned Rahul.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.
