"I am solely responsible", Pranati repeated to herself in her loneliness.
When Reyansh murdered his first victim and came home, Pranati doubted him having an affair. She was an young employee who newly joined his team. One day when Pranati arrived at his cabin to surprise him with lunch, she witnessed them in a compromised position. She didn't complain or make a scene but looked at Reyansh tearfully. Her worst fears came true. She should have lashed at him and demanded him to explain. But she quietly withdrew and closed the door behind as if to give them privacy.
Pranati knew Reyansh was shocked by her arrival yet he never pursued her with his reason. He didn't come home that night, until it was very late. She didn't question her husband neither he came with justifications. She accepted it as her fate and tried to act normal.
Later Pranati came to know that lady never came to office again. When enquired, it came to light that she left office that day itself and never came back. Few days later, her body was found in railway tracks. The case was closed considering it as an accident. Pranati was not a type of person who rejoices at death of another human. Still she felt at ease. She tried to compromise with consolation that Reyansh may not cheat on her again. But it happened again, this time it was a college reunion party.
During college days, many hot girls wanted to date the college hero Reyansh but Pranati was his choice. Then she used to hold her head high being his girlfriend. But now being invalid, she lacked confidence. So when one of those women tried to seduce Reyansh, she could only look on helplessly with a heavy heart. Reyansh spotted her but remained passive and soon he disappeared. She knew the fate and returned home alone.
Yet that night, Pranati decided to confront Reyansh. She waited until he came back home during early hours of morning. He reeked of the other woman's scent. But it was stench of her blood and tears. She was shocked beyond her limits, "What have you done, Reyansh?". Instead of being guilty, he smiled wickedly, "I killed her, Pranati. She gave you pain so I gave her death". In her frenzy, she didn't know how to react.
Pranati knew he had committed a crime, a grave one. Yet selfishly she tried to cover his tracks. Fear groped her but she tried to protect him. She removed his cloths and washed him properly. She was weak and disabled, however she cleaned and covered him like an infant. He remained quiet, absolutely enjoying her care. "I love you, Pranati", he confessed his love to her, "I will kill those who give you pain". It dawned on Pranati that he never cheated on her but was murdering those women who dared to cause her agony.
"Reyansh, please promise me. You will never repeat it", Pranati asked him. "Trust on our love, Pranati. If you don't feel insecure and sad, then I won't have a reason to harm anyone", he reasoned. "I will try, Reyansh", she agreed. "Then I promise too", he smiled and cupped her cheeks. He kissed her passionately and slowly started to undress her.
"I need you, Pranati", he whispered softly. It was sick to make love to Reyansh who had just killed another human. But they both needed it. Him to make her aware of his undying devotion and her to assure that he is still with her. Night passed passionately until fatigue took over her senses. She wanted to believe that dark phase of their life is over with the night.
Thankfully, no case was registered and days passed. Reyansh escaped law. It was wrong but she consoled herself that his victims were immoral & unkind women. Pranati understood that her pain triggered Reyansh to madness. She took a firm decision to stay strong and overcome her fears. But it wasn't easy. She failed many times. Fearing another incident, Pranati started to cage herself inside their home. Riya's wedding proved that she couldn't hide forever. Mallika's disappearance brought Police to their door steps. Perhaps his meticulous planning saved him once more but for how long. Reyansh was unable to rein his mad beast. Only you can, Anjana's words echoed in her mind.
"Nice party, Mr Khurana", Reyanh's associate appreciated him. It was a small get together to celebrate their recent success. He shrugged and kept a polite smile on his face. He knew well that she was trying to woo him. He wished Pranauti would have accompanied him like old times. Nevertheless, he didn't complain. He was afraid to lose his cool if she saw her sad while vile women kept hitting on him.
"I wonder how Mrs. Khurana keep you satisfied in bed", she asked directly. Before Reyansh could give a befitting reply, he heard a bold voice, "Oh! I have my ways". To his astonishment, Pranati wheeled herself confidently into the party hall, "But I am sure it will not work for you. A little bit of heart and soul is required", she checked out the woman in disgust, "you clearly lack both".
"Mr. Khurana, your wife is insulting me", the vamp stormed her feet in anger. Pranati didn't waver a bit. Instead she pulled Reyansh by his tie so that his face was at her level. "Ask this bitch to f*ck off". He straightened and cleared his throat before plastering a fake smile, "F*ck off". As the woman stood speechless, Pranati laughed out loud. Reyansh was mesmerized by her happiness. He had yearned to see her lively self that was lost for long. "Let me take you elsewhere, Baby ", he wheeled around the hall and introduced his colleagues & partners to her.
Party was over and most of them left. Reyansh took Pranati to his cabin. "You look amazing", he complemented her. She had taken extra care on her looks and costume. Still her new courage impressed all, especially him. Reyansh was joyous on her new found confidence. She climbed onto the sofa and looked around. "Remember when we were dating. You bought me here one night secretly to f*ck me hard", she recalled their old days and spoke sensuously , "you made me scream to test the sound proof". He chuckled remembering the incident, "My Father would have had my head if he knew. But breaking rules and testing limits made it more exciting. Especially when you are with me".
"Want to try it again?", Pranati asked him coyly. "A lot had changed since", Reyansh spoke softly. For a moment, she misunderstood that he meant her disability. But he gently gestured to security cameras and told softly, "security cameras are installed". She quickly got alert and moved away only for him to laugh out loud. He pulled out a his phone and entered a code to turned them off.
"Now where were we?", Reyansh asked Pranati alluring. She pouted at his dry humour. But she decided to take control. She undid his belt and loosened his trouser. She felt his hard member who was ready for action, "The sound proof room". "Yeah", he acted to think, "But we already know the result. Lets try something else", he pointed to his table, "Few months back I got this new addition. Dealer claims it to be crafty as well as strong. Why don't we test its strength?".
Before Pranit could utter a word, he quickly lifted and kept her on it. Reyansh tore away her undergarments and widened her legs to wrap it around his waist. He didn't do foreplays and thrust into her being needy. She screamed in pleasure and pain while enjoying his crude passion. "I missed being rough with you", he spoke hoarsely while pumping into her forcefully. "I missed it too", she managed to speak between her gasps
Pranati didn't last long. Her hungry flesh gave in quickly and reached her pinnacle. But Reyansh was far from being satisfied. He took her to couch and hovered over her for more after removing her cloths. "When will you be done, Mr. Khurana?", she asked playfully. "Not until you pass out, Mrs. Khurana", his response made her laugh out in joy.
They were not perfect but crazy in love. She was the only one who could rein his madness. Eventually she realised and decided to take charge of him & their life.
