Touch Her And... (Completed)

Chapter: 58

Ritwik

There she was, lying on the bed peacefully. That's exactly what I wanted for her.

Now I knew why I always felt suffocated while bedding someone else, why I always imagined her replacing the woman beneath me. It was all in subconscious, it was all I craved for ages. The longing to see her smiling face, the desire to touch her soft skin made me crazy and angry at the same time. I practiced hating her. But then it had to happen. She had to be real and if that was not enough she had to be Manik's friend.

The feeling of anger and happiness triggered my senses together. The impulse to get her within my embrace, then and there, became so strong that everything seemed unimportant for that moment. Only she remained, my Ambika.

The voice I heard in my dreams, the eyes which looked at me with so much expectations, so much care, I wanted to look into them for once. That very moment my world went upside down. The only thing mattered was seeing her from the very front.

But I was late as always. The only thing I received from her was the friendly treatment. She cared for me but she loved someone else. She was already taken by none other than Daivik Raj Nagpati. The man who never stopped beating me to everything. I never hated him, why would I when he was always like me in so many ways. I gave up everything. I never wanted to be a part of this useless competition.

But Ambika, she was more than a mere competition, she meant the world to me. Although I decided to give up at the beginning but who was I kidding, that evil subconscious kept on bothering me and I knew I was loosing it. Everytime I saw her showing affection towards Dev that very dormant demon struggled inside, struggled to come out and fight for what was his. Every hug she gave him burnt my soul to ashes. Everytime her eyes searched for Dev instead of me I felt like punching his face.

How could she keep on loving that guy who replaced her with another woman. Replacing her? I would've died a thousand deaths before doing that. I started hating my brother for the first time. I knew I could  treat her way better than him. So I took it as a sign.

From that day onwards she became mine and only mine. I knew the other personality inside me was provocative enough and it could make me do the most horrible and unimaginable things. But I was ready. I knew I could do anything to have her. And that's what I was doing.

I decided to take her away from everything and everyone. Where there will be only us. Far away from every complications. Where there would be only her smiles, her scolding. Where I could wake up to her beautiful face and  could go to bed wrapped in her curls. Where there would be no one to claim her as his and she would be all mine.

Finally, it was time to leave, time to start a new life. Although it seemed like this place didn't have much of her clothes but I packed everything I found. I would buy her new ones as soon as we reach our destination . I couldn't bring her aunt because that would've led to chaos, so I had to leave that one on the hands of fate.

I only needed to make her understand that she'd be taken care of. I was hurrying, I had to leave before anyone woke up. That was simple but leaving Manik like that inside the car was making me feel guilty. What else would've I done. I tried to convince him but he was adamant about bringing her back to the mansion. He still thought she'd be happy with Dev. The guy who chose someone else over her.

I took the backpack and slowly moved towards Teressa. Even the drug didn't work properly on her, she was that traumatized. I felt really bad while drugging all of them but it had to be done.

The good thing was that her phone was broken. Tracking her became next to impossible now.

I slowly pulled her bridal style from the bed. She strived to open her eyes. I knew she was trying her best to get free and I won't ever let that happen.

Now when she was so close to me, when I could feel her warmth the only realization that hit me was I could never leave her. Leaving her now means leaving my soul forever. I would choose death over loosing her.

I got out of the house and locked it from outside. That girl, Pihu, she was inside. I hoped she remained safe but I was helpless. I could do nothing more than this. I was selfish enough when it came to something I really wanted. And Teressa was my primary need.

It was a beautiful sight outside. I could see the sun rising slowly behind one of the mountain peaks. Its first ray fell on the greens. It had a very decent pinkish golden hue. The cold outside was still equally strong but now I could at least see the road well. I would've loved to stay here and see this with Teressa but the fate I was dragging her into would be taking her far away from the mountains here, probably for an eternity. I hated it.

I only hoped she realized how much she meant to me, how much I could do for her. My belief said one day she would look at me the way I look at her. She would love me the way I love her. She was such a beautiful soul, I knew she could never hate me even if she tried really hard. That just didn't go with her character.

I opened the door of Manik's car. I smiled at how I almost forced him to leave it back here because it was too late. How I convinced him that I'll drive him to home in my car. That poor kid might never forgive me for my awful deeds.

I placed her on the passenger seat and clasped the seat belt. My eyes fell on her sleeping face and a smile threatened to come out. Although I tried really hard but I failed and my lips automatically found her forehead.

"I am so sorry for hurting you like this sweetheart. But I know you'll understand the reason someday. Love you." The words came instantly out of my mouth. The feeling that she was now mine and only mine was overwhelming.

Looking at the rising sun the only thought occurred to me was that I have to protect my sunshine from everything and keep her to me forever. I was grateful that she was mine. The thought automatically brought a genuine smile on my face for the first time in forever.
