Mine

Chapter 24

On the other hand, Nidhi was busy with classes and she forgot her phone at her cabin. She was clearly unaware of it and her friend Asfandyaar an army major from Pune came to visit her where the peon requested him to wait at her cabin. The constant ringing of the phone was indeed annoying him, so without looking at the caller id, he answered the phone. He could sense the person on the other side was clearly annoyed, but he tried to be polite, asking about the person when he was rudely shot back with questions that irked him, so he simply said he is her boyfriend and the line went dead. He thought of calling the person back and give him some earful words but he decided against it and waited for his dearest friend.

When she came back to her cabin, she was shocked to see her best friend Asfandyaar. She didn't think twice, she just ran to him and hugged him happily. He studied the same course as her and he is her best friend from junior college. She chose to be a criminal psychologist and he used his profound knowledge to venture and establish in the army. No matter how busy they were, they had never lost contact and kept track of each other. He was worried and surprised that his dearest friend went missing from Pune and didn't even find time to inform him about her transfer to Kochin.

He was rather angry and disheartened, so he went to her father and inquire about her. Since her father knew him, he gladly shared her whereabouts with slight details of her transfer. He was rather angry with her, but when he had the slightest idea about her reason he toned down. When he met her she told him the whole truth. He was rather shocked about that but he also understood that she loved him dearly. Albeit he didn't agree with her secret marriage, he understood her reasons and gave his support to her. To lighten up the situation, he asked for their wedding photos and she showed him. He was in awe seeing the couple as they looked cute together. She promised to introduce her Abhimanyu to Asfandyaar the next day. She tried calling him to inform him about her friend and her calls were left unanswered. Though she was worried, she masked it in front of Asfandyaar and bid him bye with the promise of meeting him with her husband the next day evening.

At home, Abhimanyu was more devastated and hurt. He just wanted to be alone and that happened when his sister told him that she would be accompanying her husband tonight at the hospital. Realising his sour mood, she tried to speak to him where he shut her off by saying, 'just leave me alone, di... please don't say or ask anything.' Understanding his need to be alone, she walked off and called Nidhi. She talked about his behaviour toward her today. That surprised Nidhi because he didn't even answer Nidhi's call. Upon sensing trouble she told his sister that she will be with him tonight. 

When she reached his sister's house, she saw their maid was ready to leave and upon seeing her, she notified that Abhimanyu didn't eat anything since afternoon and had been sulking. His room was also locked. She dismissed the maid for the day and worriedly reached Abhimanyu's room just to pacify him and make him eat but also scared about his state of abeyance. When she knocked on the door, he didn't answer it, so with the help of a spare key, she sneaked into the room. She saw the room was a mess and he was curled up into a ball under the bed. She felt a tug in her heart and when she touched him she felt his tear-stained face. Involuntary tears were cascading down her cheeks. Realising her presence he pushed her and became a raging bull.

'Why did you come here? Checking if I am still alive? Is that disappointing you that I am still fine even after learning the truth about you?' He was shouting in anger and she was a trembling mess by then. He didn't let her speak and shouted again. 'How dare you? How dare you cheat on me? How dare you see other men when you clearly know you're married?' He also slapped her hard that she fell down. 'Ab... Abhi... Abhimanyu... what are you talking about?' Another slap from him made her mind and eyes whirl. 'Stop it Abhimanyu!!! What are you blabbering? You must have misunderstood?' 'Misunderstood??' He chuckled darkly. 'Then prove me you are mine.' He said it with so much venom after some time. 

'What do you mean?' 'Please me in bed...' He again chuckled darkly and that sent shivers to her spine. However, she composed herself and asked, 'tell me what your exact problem is? Why are you behaving like a caveman? And why are you behaving like this?' 'Why not interested in pleasing your blind husband? But you were behaving like a tigress in the bed at the hillside.' 'Abhimanyu! What are you saying? Baat ko kahan see kahan paonch rahe hain aap?' 'Simple wifey, I am saying that you are not interested in this blind man anymore. I think I am just a mishap in your life, right?' 'Don't say that Abhimanyu... I have never belittled you on your physical ability. You are much better than a person who has eyesight.' 'It is easy to say, but very hard to put into practice.' He gave a sarcastic smirk and kissed her on her lips. When she didn't respond to his kiss, he started to kiss her violently which she gave in at the end.

'So I wanted to ask you... will you lose your eyesight for me?' That shocked her... She was still confused about why is he talking nonsense. But his tone held seriousness to the question. 'What?' 'Come on Nidhi! You told me you would die for me, but all I am asking you is to become my donor. Won't you do that?' 'Abhimanyu... it is not like that... I...' She was again cut off by his sarcastic smirk. 'So, all those words and promises were fake... You are a gold-digger. You would just enjoy my money and then when you are tired you will leave me because I am a blind man.' This time Nidhi slapped him real hard. 'Who the hell had implanted such thought in you? Don't you dare to accuse me with baseless allegations!' 'Then prove me wrong, Nidhi... Please your blind husband in the bed and give your eye-sight to him. Oh let me guess... you can do the former because you'll be having more fun but you can't do the latter. That is because you need your eyes for your next prey.'
