Bewitched

Chapter 73

Srusti's POV

I ran into the washroom before he could utter a single word.

I went there and cried like anything. My tears knew no bounds. I locked myself in a washroom and cried till my tears stopped flowing.

After about 5 minutes, I washed my face and looked at myself in the mirror.

My soul seemed to have entered that mirror.

Why are you crying??

I am not crying. It's just...

Oh yeah, some dust particle must have fallen in your eyes.

Will you please leave me alone. I don't want to talk to anyone especially you.

Why?? Because I always show you a mirror?? Didn't I tell you that you will fall in love with that sinfully handsome man??

Please I don't want to hear all this... I know I am stupid. I know and remember everything you said. Please don't bother to repeat it.

Why are you crying now?? You always knew he was in love with someone else. 

Nothing, Just like that.

Listen you need to be strong... You can't cry like this. How does it matter, even if you saw what you just saw?

He is my husband...

Only on a piece of paper !!!

I don't know... I feel he is my husband.

No !!! He is not. He has never considered you as his wife. He is not interested in you at all. He made it clear in the beginning that he loves someone else. He told you, he would never fall for you.

What do I do ??

Behave as if you don't bother. Please be strong. Tell him you can't pretend any more to be your wife. He said that if at any point if you want to get out of this marriage, he would let you go.

But what would he say to his family??

That's his problem, not yours.

But they all are so good...  I can't break their heart.

What about your heart??

They love me like their daughter. In fact, even more, than they love Maya di. I can't do that to them.

But you are suffering being with him, falling in love with him while he is not even aware of it.

I have to do it for his family at least. They are very important to me.

Ok, fine !!! But stay away from him and don't leave this job. You need to be independent.

I don't need money... You know that.

I know you are rich... Quite rich. That's why I am not able to understand why you are staying with him??

I stayed with him as I felt safe with him in the beginning. But then I met his family and fell in love with each and every one of them.

Even that handsome hunk.

Yeah !!

But then why don't you tell him??

I can't... He is in love with Manyata. I can't see him with anyone else. So, I would resign from this job.

Ok !!! Go ahead.
