🌟🌟 BOOK 1 OF THE RECIPE SERIES 🌟🌟
He left her to take a shower and Dyuti was left broken and shattered completely. She leaned against the wall and sat on the floor. She curled her legs to the floor and wept silently. She was indeed in love with...
Dyuti then had enough, she went to her room and slept until she heard the doorbell ring.
Dyuti washed her face with cold water, dried it quickly, and opened the door. "Why are you early?" She asked, shock visible on her face.
"I will come early for the whole month!" He said smiling at her, "After all, I am a married man now!" he said, pulling Dyuti into a hug.
"Leave me! Please!" Dyuti said with extreme disgust, she pushed him and ran to their bedroom. Karan looked at her disappearing figure with hurt in his eyes.
"DYUTI!" Karan screamed at her and ran after her into the bedroom.
He saw Dyuti on the bed her face buried in the pillow, she was letting out sobs.
"Dyuti! Dyuti! My dove! Listen to me! I am sorry!" He said and Dyuti looked with tears still flowing through her eyes.
"Sorry? For what are you sorry? For what you did 15 years back? For forcefully marrying me? Making my life hell? Whenever I sleep those memories haunt me! What a 10th grader did to a sixth grader. I swear the only time I felt at peace was at the 9th grade when you left for the UK for higher studies. Till then your bullying was still affecting me! Then I met my boyfriend..... Sorry, my EX-BOYFRIEND, VIKRAM SINHA, that time we were friends, then you returned and started breaking me, and he was there, healing me! Then 2 years later we confessed each to other and 6 years later, you ruined everything! AGAIN!" she screamed in her frustation.
Karan looked at her. His blood was boiling. He closed his eyes as Dyuti continued.
"You know something, Mr. Karan Desai! You don't love anyone! You only love yourself! I don't even think you have any emotions in you. You are just selfish! Selfish, obnoxious, rude, heartless, old, loveless...."
"ENOUGH!" Karan's voice boomed across the room making Dyuti stop and she starts to shiver.
Karan rambled to Dyuti and held a firm grip on her hair. Dyuti held his hand which gripped her long black hair.
"ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!" He again said, gripping and Dyuti looked into his eyes. They were red, blood red. They screamed danger.
"Le-le-l-leave me!" Dyuti stuttered but the grip only stronger.
"YES! I am selfish! Since I am so selfish I will only will look at my needs and..." He paused and leaned a little more closer to her face, "...my desires." he said huskily with his orbs darken with something that Dyuti had always feared, lust.
Dyuti closed her eyes and looked at him void of any emotions, she got up from the bed and Karan's grip lessen. Dyuti remove the saree pallu from her shoulders and dropped it on the floor. Karan's eyes widened at that act. She started undoing her saree and threw her whole saree at his feet.
" Go on!" she whispered which was audible only for the man in front of her, Karan.
Karan looked at her and before he could process what was going on Dyuti continued, "Come on, crush me under your disgust!".
Karan took small steps towards her and Dyuti closed her eyes. This is it! Her purity was going to get tarnished! But something covered her shoulders and she opened her eyes and looked up. Karan looked at her and said, "I am going to take a shower! Wear something comfortable and get my clothes out!" he proceeded to walk towards the shower.
Dyuti clenched the suit covering her body and sat on the bed. She knew she said something horrible but she decide enough is enough! So, she changed her dress into something more comfortable and went to sleep.
Karan came out the shower and found his clothes neatly folded on the bed. He changed and he found Dyuti sleeping, but not peacefully.
Yes! He knew. If she was sleeping with peace, she would have a cute pout on her face. Today, it was just blank as if she didn't want to wake up!
"Dove!" He softly whispered and caressed her forehead, "I am sorry! For everything! I know I am hurting you! But it's believe me! I am doing it for you! As time will come you will understand!"
He then changed to his night wear and went to the other side of the bed and slept. He didn't hug her today. He thought to give her space. What's the difference? He hurt her by actions, she hurt him by words.
Sunrays peeked through the window and Dyuti opened her eyes and woke up to find an empty bed.
Dyuti then saw Karan coming out of the shower, water dripping on his bare torso. "Karan!" she said, "Wear something!" and closed her eyes.
"Sorry! I will keep that in mind!" he said, his voice void of any of any type of emotion that he usually shows enthusiasm when he talks to her. The sweetness, the warmth in voice.
Dyuti got dressed into her comfortable dress after a hot shower. She came down and saw Karan already sitting in the dining table. She went and sat opposite to Karan.
"What's for breakfast?" She asked softly.
"See it for yourself! Why are you asking me?" He snapped really rudely which gave an unknown feeling clenched in her heart.
"O-oo-ok" she whispered as tears threatened to fall out her eyes. Vikram knew he wasn't doing the right thing.
"Actually, lets go somewhere today!" he spoke as chappati and steamed sweet potatoes were brought.
"Ok!" She said and turned around. She saw the steamed sweet potatoes and her eyes beamed like a little child.
"Sweet Potatoes!" She squealed with happiness.
She was eating with happiness in her eyes and Karan felt content.
Karan told her to get ready by 5.30 in the evening. He took his office bag, and went out of the house, waving a bye from the car to her.
