His Glass Doll

Part 4

Naira closed her eyes to sleep only to snap her eyes open when her husband pulled her to himself, tight in his arms. She looked up at him, he had his eyes closed, his face in the crook of her neck, hand tight over her waist, his legs arrested her from moving away. Sensing her gaze on him 'sleep naira ' is all he said, she closed her eyes tight, taking shuddering breathe, but being exhausted mentally and physically she slept easily leaving everything to take a back seat on her mind.

Karthik looked up after hearing her deep breathe indicating her in deep sleep, he looked at her beautiful face, every inch in detail, a glint passing in his eyes 'Mine!!! Only Mine!!!'

Evening, karthik and naira came down, surprising keerti and dadi, keerti 'naira you had returned from your home so soon, when did you return? And did not even inform me' naira looked at karthik; before she opens her mouth, her husband beat her.

Karthik 'her parent's house Di, naira's home is where I'm' keerti and dadi were taken aback by his words and the tinge of possessiveness they could witness.

Keerti correcting her 'of course...of course....now this is naira's home'

Dadi turned to keerti 'keerti ask jay to bring tea for naira and karthik 's black coffee'

Keerti nodded at her standing to go order Jay to come with evening beverage and snacks. Dadi turned to the newlywed couple, both sitting together, her wise eyes did not fail to notice her granddaughter in law tensed face. She turned towards karthik who is looking at his phone going through the emails, addressing him 'karthik , in two days keerti had planned to have your and naira's reception'

Karthik irritated looked at her 'what is the need dadi ?'

Keerti came in with the tray containing beverages and snacks of plate 'what? What is the need for it? It is needed, your wedding was rushed up, so we could not invite everyone since it was private affair, now it is must to invite all, and why are you refusing now, already the card have been printed along with inviting some in personal and some in courier has been done'

Dadi 'Yes karthik, now all you have to do is take naira for shopping for her reception dress and jewellery'

Karthik 'no need, I'll have her dress arranged and about jewellery jeweller can be invited to home tomorrow with his latest collection'

Dadi 'but karthik she needs to select her own choice'

Karthik in his cutting tone 'I know what will look good on her dadi'

Naira intervened 'he is right dadi, he will choose best outfit for me'

Karthik see she too accepts it' dadi sighed and looked at keerti who shaked her head. Karthik 'Di where is jijaji?'

Keerti 'he has went to office and will be coming in a while, it's his usual time to return from office'

Karthik nodded at her sipping his black coffee.

Later that night, knowing well she is not feeling good karthik did not pursue for anything deeply intimate not wanting to hurt her, he kept his control in check. Looking at naira beside him he caressed her face, she became stiff once again at his touch.

Karthik 'Shhh I'm not going to do anything, just few kisses, okay'

Kissing her to his heart content, he cupped her face and made her look at him 'I'm your husband naira, and I've all the rights on you. There is nothing wrong, okay, so don't be scared, understood'

Naira stuttered 'Ji..Ji'

Karthik 'Good, that's my girl, always remember this, never try to go against my words otherwise you know right I'll get angry'

Naira slowly 'Ji....I'll not'

Karthik 'yes you should not go against my decision, and be abide my words always'

Naira 'I'll'

Karthik 'I just want you to be always with me, and I'll not like you sharing with anyone else not even with your parents or my family.....only I've the rights on you and no one else not even you, your and my family.....I own you naira and I'll always.'

Naira surprise looked at him, what is she? Is she a doll, a property, a thing he is to own her, she can accept the fact of his rights on her but owning her?

Karthik 'you know when I looked at you for the first time in that red saree all I wanted to do was to take you away from everyone and this world, and to keep you somewhere safe with me'

caressing every inch of her face 'you are so beautiful like a doll, and you are only Mine now, no one can snatch you away from me, if it is in my hand, I would have buried you under my skin.'

Looking at naira with intensity 'understood naira'

Naira 'ji...ji...I'm yours, only yours'

Tucking her head under his chin, he slept hugging her, once again whispering in her ear 'only Mine!!!' Naira shuddered with the possessiveness she felt in his words and action, this 24 + hour had given a good glimpse of her husband's possessiveness for her.

Keerti and aditya's room, keerti hugging her husband 'aditya!!'

Aditya 'hmmm'

Keerti 'I don't know why, something does not feel good'

Aditya 'why so?'

Keerti 'since morning I'm witnessing strange behaviour from karthik at first he got angry on the prospect of naira going for pag phere rasam, you were not there but naira cried hugging her father, she was upset *keerti told whatever she witnessed in the morning* I thought at first it is because she had missed her parent's.....and in the evening we see both of them coming down, I and dadi did not even know when naira returned from her maika....and you need to see karthik s face and his voice when he said that now naira s home is this, and that is her parents' house....it is like he is on guard'

Aditya patting her head 'keerti you are reading too much, karthik is right, now this is naira's house'

Keerti 'but....'

Aditya 'Shhh everything will be okay now, you should be happy that karthik had married who was running away from marriage and brought you a cute sister in law who is more than sister to you'

Keerti 'yes naira is so sweet...but she is not talking much, always nervous, I heard from her parent and friends that she is very talkative and lively person'

Aditya'it must be because she is new to our family and is taking time to adjust herself in our family'

Keerti 'yes that must be'

Keerti 'now sleep, keerti all day you work so much even after having servants and does not even rest properly, leave all this useless worrying about karthik, he is grown up man and knows very well how to look after his life, we should step in only when he needs our help and situation goes out of his control'

Keerti 'you are right, I should not worry, and now naira is there to take care of him' both slept unaware of the innocent girl's life turning upside down, in good or bad only time could tell.
