Mine

Chapter 14

Day by day Abhimanyu started to become more possessive and protective towards his Pari. He had been guarding her like a shadow, he had been keeping an eye on her like a hawk... a blind hawk. He started to take care of her instead of vice versa. When his sister commented about it, he shrugged it as 'she came all the way for me, so it's my responsibility to look after her. She is mine to cherish and protect. I am not weak; I am just visually impaired.' 'I know Abhimanyu, but how long are you going to be like this and she is staying in a hostel. Don't tell me you are stalking her till her hostel?' His sister asked with fear, fear of being caught. But in return what he said stunned her. 'Di, I trust my woman. She is mine and will be mine in every sense and I am just making sure she is fine and safe. Moreover, I don't need others to ogle my woman. I will definitely gauge his eyes out.'

Radhika became more worried and discussed it with her husband. 'Ji do you know nowadays I am afraid what will happen if Abhimanyu gets to know about our lies. I am afraid if Nidhi gets hurt in the process. I really feel bad for dragging that selfless girl into this mess. She just wanted to help, but I could see that she is sinking into it. I think she has fallen for Abhimanyu. But my selfish heart doesn't let her go away as I could see how happy my brother is around her. Nidhi bohot achi ladki hai (Nidhi is a very good girl.) I really wish Abhimanyu had chosen her instead of her sister.'

'Did you realise how possessive he has been around her? He is following her like a shadow. He loves spending time with her. I have been seeing him, all happy, cooking, dancing, drawing and do all their favourite things together. He loves to be with her. She is a gem but she is not the person he assumes. She is not his reality.' She was pouring her heart out. 'Do you have any problem if she becomes your sister-in-law?' Her husband shot back. 'What are you saying? Honestly, I will be really elated if she is going to be my sister-in-law. But that is not the reality, Sudeep ji.' 

'Okay... okay... don't get all worked up. Everything will be fine soon.' He consoled and hugged her. Only if they knew that they are going to face the biggest catastrophe in the near future. Hearts were meant to be broken and relations are bound to be abandoned. Oblivion of the future, they decided to cherish the present.
