AE HUMNAVA (HIS EMPRESS)

A Night With My Lover

While Teesha looked at him with fearful eyes, he looked at her with passion and affection.

'We are meant to be together? What is he saying? Is he high or something? Socho Teesha socho. Do something. You need to get away from him.' She thought.

"Kya soch rahi ho, Jaan?" he said as he laid beside her placing his head near her collar bone but didn't remove his hand from her mouth.

" Do you want to speak?" he asked, Teesha nodded.

" Can I trust you? What if you start screaming?huh? Chillaogi toh nahi na?" he said and looked at her lovingly,resting his elbow beside her head to support his body. Teesha just stared at him.

" Batao na jaan, Can I trust you?" he asked again, Teesha after a lot of thinking nodded her head.

" Okay! Ab main apna hath hataunga, promise yaad rakhna. Theek hai Jaan." he said and did just what he said.

'a part of me wants to scream,to ask for help, to somehow get away from him But my logical mind told me to stay still and play it safe. So I didn't let out a single noise, and he seemed happy about it. Now, I think I should have screamed. Can I scream now? Is it already too late to ask for help?'  Several thoughts run through her head.

" Kya soch rahi ho? Huh?" he asked as he gently caressed her cheek with his knuckles.

" Kya... kya chahate ho tum? Kyun kar rahe ho yeh sab?" She said shutting her eyes tightly letting her tears fall.

" Look at me Jaan-"

" Stop calling me that "

" Calling you what?" he teased.

" Tum... Tumhe pehle se pata hai. Stop calling me with these nicknames" she said annoyed.

" Toh kya bolu tumhe?" he asked her lovingly.

" tum jaante ho na, agar main chahu toh abhi shor macha kar sabko yaha bula sakti hu. People will probably beat you to death aur phir jail bhi jaoge tum." she said with a firm voice.

" Acha! Par kya tum sach mein aisa karogi?" he chuckled and then moved closer to her ear " Agar tum chahati toh abhi tak tum yeh kar chuki hoti" he whispered in her ear, Teesha breath hitched hearing his words.

" Tumhe kya lagta hai, hm? Kya main yaha tumhare ghar bina kisi plan ke sidhe muh utha kar aa jaunga? huh, Jaan?" he asked running his fingers in her hair adoring her scared form.

" Kya? Kya matlab?" she asked him confused and scared.

" Abhi tak yeh toh tum samaj hi gayi hogi ki main koi aisa vaisa insaan toh bilkul bhi nahi hun. Secondly, I know you were scared but going to the police was something you shouldn't have done. Also you blocked my number and even when I asked you POLITELY to unblock me you didn't. Why?" he said, his voice was firm now and eyes looked cold.

Tears were streaming down her face. Suddenly her phone buzzed....

His attention got diverted towards her phone and taking her chance she screamed "MAA!" and soon her right cheek was stinging.

He hit me. He fucking slapped me across my face, that too in my house. She sobbed and started to shake. Her parents never ever put a finger on her and here this asshole, a complete stranger, slapped her.

Before she could do anything he bring out something shiny out of his pocket.

A knife.

'The blade is sharp and it'll just take a single cut on my neck and I'll be lying in my own pool of blood.' Teesha was terrified.
