Demon's Secret Wife (COMPLETED)

Chapter 11

OMKAR

I stopped the car outside Nayak Mansion with a jerk. I saw she was fidgeting loose end of her hair with her hands. By now I know she does it whenever she's nervous.

I wanted to console her but I was also nervous, I brought her here but now I don't really know what should I tell my family. And getting a girl suddenly at this hour would definitely make them throw a hundred questions at me.

Although I informed my brothers that I would be late, I knew they as well as that Question Bank of my sister in law...Pattu would be ready to interrogate me like I was a cult criminal and they are special CBI officers!!! And that Pattu... knowing how crazy her brains run yet how sharp she is, I need to be extra careful from her. She would use all her Wattpad mafia novel tricks with me. Her brains run like some bullet train!!!

While I was still in my thoughts I heard Mukta say...
'Omkar...it's ok...you don't need to do this...I understand it would be odd for you to take me like this at this hour to your family...it's fine Omkar I can manage' and I shot her a glare and said...

'Shutup!!! You are not going anywhere...you are staying here...get that? This is the safest place I can think for you right now!!! So please...'

'But Omkar...you don't need to tell them about our...I mean...it was a forced marriage... although we have that certificate from temple where they got us married, we haven't filed for it in the court...so I'm legally married to you but still we aren't officially husband and wife...so you know...you don't need to' she said softly and I kept looking at her face.

'Get down...and I know how to handle this' saying I stepped out and in no time we stepped inside our home while 5 eyes were staring at us...

Prathana(Pattu)-Rudra, Mom-Dad and Shivansh. They were all shocked to see me along with Mukta who mostly tried to hide behind me while there were wierd expressions in everyone's faces. Rudra and Shivansh were shocked, Pattu was amused while my parents were passing me and Mukta creepy smiles which were kind of giving me jitters.

They are desperate to get me married but I can't even imagine their reactions when they discover that this  little baby Demon of theirs has not just got married secretly but has brought home the Demon's Secret Wife!!!

But I knew I couldn't break the bomb now...so before they began showering questions at me I quickly gave an intro...

'Ummm... Everybody...this is Mukta ..my.....umm..mmmm...fa... friend...she is...in need of a job... she was supposed to stay here with her sister but her sister had to suddenly leave to her village due to some personal issues...and as Mukta is new to Mangalore... doesn't even know the language here...I decided to bring her home...ummmm is that ok Mom Dad?' I asked while I saw Mom and Dad smile at each other. But at the same time I could feel Mukta's strong gaze on me.

I saw Mukta looked nervously elsewhere as my parents continued their creepy smiling session and passed each other real crazy looks while I wanted to drown in a glass of water.

While I was expecting more questions they silently came closer to Mukta and caressed her head welcoming her home without asking further questions, honestly I was shocked. Mukta was still in the trauma state so while anyone touched her she flinched, she looked hesitant but soon I saw her warmed up towards my mom. Indeed mother's are natural healers I guess. To my surprise, Mukta passed a light smile and bent to take blessings from both my parents while I cleared my throat quickly bringing her back to this world. She was emotional. I didn't know if she was always like this or because she's still under the impact of that incident. How much do I know her after all. She suddenly shot me a look and our eyes met for a brief interval and she looked elsewhere.

While I was still observing her I heard mom say...
'Pattu help her shift to the guestroom on 3rd floor next to your room' and I looked at Pattu. It was the room where she was staying and I didn't want it to bother her rather she could shift in the room next to mine on 2nd floor.

Aren't you too desperate to keep her close O.K???

What??? Noooo!!! Shutup!!!
Nonsense!!!

O really?? Then let her sleep on 3rd floor guestroom!!!

No she shouldn't!!! Second floor one is more comfortable!!!

Is it her comfort or yours O.K???

Oh please!!! I care a damn!!! How much do we know each other after all!!!

Huhh!!!

And then my eyes fall on her beautiful deer like innocent eyes and it strikes me exactly... wouldn't you want to know those eyes??? Read the language in them???
Oh just Shutup O.K!!!
Remember??? Women are a trap and O.K isn't O.K with it!!?

But then I don't know why did my tongue protest against my thoughts and I spit out...

'Mom she can take the room on 2nd floor too' while her eyes shifted nervously  after shooting me a death glare...followed by which I earned a smirk from my mother. Godddd!!! There's a whole biryani cooking in her brain there and I'm definitely not on biryani diet!!!

'Why Omi...I thought she could be friends with Pattu...but looks like you like your 'Friend' 's company already hannn' mom directly taunted me and the Mukta started fidgeting her hair with her fingers and she began looking here and there I didn't have anything to say and muttered...
'Ummm No Amma...I just said because the 2nd floor room is more comfortable...well it's ...it's fine with me...Ummm I'm tired...let me freshen up...' saying I escaped from there...these parents are dangerous!!! Without waiting a minute more I retired to my room.

I saw Prarthana taking Mukta to the guest room and she looked quite nervous  but then I saw Prarthana is someone who if left with a stone as well for a few minutes could also start talking but this big mouthed girl once started wouldn't stop and I was scared if Mukta blurts out something...

I was thinking whether to go upstairs or not. Finally I decided to go talk to her while I heard her say to Pattu...

'Thank you Prarthana' and she turned around and I saw a small smile on Pattu's lips which later turned into a wide smiled brightly saying...
'You are welcome... Goodnight take care' and she left to her room.

I was thinking twice before entering the room while suddenly I saw a househelp standing there with a plate full of food.

Damnnn!!! That's when it striked me... she must be hungry. I picked the plate from the househelp  and knocked at the door but she didn't open the door, I slowly opened the door and I saw Mukta looking at the moon standing in the balcony.

I called her name but she was deep in her thoughts. I went closer to her and cleared my throat and she turned around and was shocked to see me next to her like this without expectations, suddenly.

'Food...' I said and she nodded saying...
'Its ok...I will have later' and I nodded. While I was about to leave I heard her say...

'Omkar... I just want you to know...I'm not here as your wife, neither do I expect any such kind of a rapport or a relationship between us...but whatever you have done for me today, I can't thank you for your support...you need not have done all that but you did...so thank you' she said and I smiled

I began serving a little rice and dalitoy (yellow lentil dal) with batate hummana (potato curry in gsb style) in a plate and passed the plate to her...

'Not hungry Omkar...' and I still kept looking at her innocent face, winds gushing her stray hair on and off her face and I had a crazy urge to push back those strands of air.

And I don't know why I kept a spoon full of rice and curry closer to her lips and she was shocked.

Honestly I was shocked too!!!
What the heck was I doing!!!
