Aasha's Pov
We both sat on the garden bench in the garden without saying anything. Dev wrapped his jacket around my shoulder to keep me warm from the chill breeze.
"Can i ask you something, Dev?" i asked while while burying my face in his chest. He hummed faintly while kissing my hair and my forehead. I smiled hugging his waist tightly. I brought some courage in me to talk about papa and Meghna aunty to him.
"Why you're not close with Papa and Meghna aunty?" i asked him with my shaky voice in fear how he would react to my question. His body went stiff instantly. I looked up at him with a frown. He looked at me with a blank expression. I gulped looking at his expression. I moved away from his embrace. He took a deep breath.
"My father married that woman after my mom's death. It was only six months of my mom's death. But he already found another woman for himself. I hate him for giving my mom's place to that woman. I hate that woman for taking my mom's place. That's why I don't have a good relation with them" he said looking at me with the same blank expression. I took his clenched fist in mine and kissed his knuckles softly.
"When your mom was alive, how your father treated her?" i asked him with a smile. He frowned looking at me. I looked at him with the same smile plastered on my face.
"My mom and my father both loved each other a lot. He always took care of her. He always looks at her with so much love in his eyes. No matter wherever we go, his eyes only fixed on my mom. He is my mom's whole world. I thought that he loves my mom so much like how mom loved him. But when he brought that woman after my mom's death, i realised that his love for my mom is not that deep.
I started to hate him and that woman. Though he is a good dad for me, he is not a good husband for my mom. He betrayed my mom. He didn't loved my mom like how she loved him. My mom was a kind hearted person who loved her husband dearly. But he...." Dev stopped with his clenched jaw. He looked at me with his bloodshot eyes. I gulped my nervousness and looked at him with a smile. I placed my hand on his chest feeling his rapid heart beat through his shirt fabric and sighed.
"Are you mad at me for bringing this topic?" I asked him. He smiled at me and pulled me closer to him by my waist.
"How can i be mad at you? It's just a bitter topic to me. That's all. I don't want to talk about this matter. Let's talk about something else, okay?" he said kissing my forehead.
"Okay. I read a story recently. It's really a very touching story. Do you want me to tell that story to you?" I asked him. He smiled at me gently and kissed my palms.
"Is that story have a happy ending or a tragic ending?" he asked me while placing my head on his chest.
"It's an ongoing story. It's not completed yet" i said taking a deep breath.
"Okay! Tell me the story then" he said stroking my hair gently. I wrapped my arms around his waist tightly.
"But you should not interrupt me in the middle, okay?" I asked him looking up at him. He chuckled and kissed my nose.
"Okay, i will not interrupt you and will listen your story patiently" he said. I nodded at him.
