Mute love

her wedding....

It was evening, which meant it was time for me to leave.
I caressed Adhya's hair before kissing her forehead. In return she pecked my both cheeks.
" Go safely honey and don't worry about me. " I smiled at her statement.
Taking a deep breath, I tighten my grip on the strap of the bag hanging on my shoulder.
I turned my head towards the left where he was standing with a poker face, Resting both of his hands in his pockets.
I waved at him just to receive a nod from him.
I turned towards the door.
" Wait!!! " It came out from his mouth as if he was suppressing something for almost five minutes. I stopped on my track but didn't turn around, I heard footsteps, as he came in front of me I just looked at him blankly exactly the way he does.

He took a deep breath before taking out his right hand from his pocket.
" Keep it!! " He said, handing me a pocket of pills. I looked at the pills and then him.
As soon as our eyes met he turned his face away, avoiding my gaze " They are painkillers, it will help you to relieve the pain and you would feel better. "
Heat rushed to my cheeks, letting them turn completely red, I pressed my lips in a thin line to stop them from smiling.
I nodded before running out of the house.
Once I was out of his sight, I let out a sigh. I looked at the medicine in my hand, a shy smile appeared on my lips without my permission.
Stop Overthinking idiot, it is just medicine.

My house was a five minute walking distance from the nearest bus stop. I was just one minute away from my house. I don't know why but I was smiling like an idiot. I really need therapy. I smiled more at my own thoughts. The day was nice, I should thank god for this.
All I have to do after reaching home is scan my face in the mirror so that I might know how stupid can I look while smiling without any reason.

" Hey love!!! " I flinched when someone cut my way.
I gasped after seeing Yash in front of me. What is he doing here? I was wrong, the day wasn't nice.
He smiled at me, but his smile has types and the type right now wasn't a healthy one. Something is up to come. His presence is always a disaster.
______________

And this is the first time he is showing up after that bar incident.

Extending his hand he cupped my left cheek, that sent chills down my spine, he is never comfortable, he rubbed his thumb on my bottom lip " You were smiling sweetheart "
I gulped.
" Did I ever told you that you look very pretty when you smile?? " He chuckled.
" No, I haven't said that, how can I?? You never smiled at me, am I right?? " He said raising his eyebrow. He took a step to close the gap between us but I stepped back.
"It triggered me if you smile for any reason if it's not me, didn't you remember I told you huh??? "
He stepped further, I stepped back, again.
His hand dropped from my cheek , he held both of my shoulders, " I already said you, your smile, laugh, cry, your evey emotion, and anything about you, belongs to me " He said trailing down his hands from my shoulder to my arms, to my elbow, to my wrist.
" Only me " I yelped in pain when he gripped my wrists. He tighten his grip on my bruise.
" Anshika??" I looked at his eyes " Are you cheating on me? " I immediately shook my head in denial, multiple times.
The smirk plastered on his lips widened " Good!! That's really good for you and " He paused.
" And for another person too. I hope you still remember what I did to the guy who tried to take you away from me?? "

He scared me to death and four years back, I still remember what he did to the guy who was just trying to be friend with me. When I was in twelfth standard.
He beated that guy to death in front of whole college, I don't even know if he is alive or died that day only. That was traumatizing, for me, for everyone. No one ever tried to talk to me, not even girls. Except for Sara.
I should not give him any reasons to do anything cruel.
" Asking for last time, are you even planning to cheat?? " I immediately shook my head as no.
" Then where are you from one week sweetheart, you didn't come to meet me from the day I took you to meet my friends.
You didn't replied my text today?? " Tears left my eyes when he pressed my wrist, I don't think he noticed my injury but still he is intending to hurt me.
He left my hands, and again cupped my cheeks with both of his hands " It's ok, I forgive you, I know you won't be seeing any other guys, and even if you tried, I will get to know,
Next month is our wedding let's focus on it, ok?? "
" Ok? " He gritted his teeths and immediately nodded.
" That's like my good girl!! " Taking one more step towards me he kissed on my neck " See you again!! I hope you keep in mind what I told you! " Saying that he stepped back.
" And you have to question your job before wedding, I won't be proud to say I am getting married to a babysitter. " That was last sentence before he dashed from there.
I never told him about my new job, I remember I didn't tell him. Means he stalked me, again??
This left me in utter shock. I think hell is better than this. I must be careful with my every step. He is psycho, he will do anything. No, I can't let this happen.
I think I should quit this job, he is heartless enough to kill someone, even to kill that little girl.

Next day… …
I stepped inside Adhya's house, I saw her with her dad on couch when I made it to living room.
He was all ready to leave for his work in black suit, I noticed his bag on coffee table.
" Dadda please, I don't want to have it, you know it tastes so bad very very bad.. " She said making eww face at the glass of milk in his hand.
" Baby, stop making excuses this is good for you, you should not trouble dadda right? Do it fast. " He said.
" No, I won't drink it!! "
I smiled unknowingly, I remember how much I hate milk too, it actually doesn't taste right.
" Ohh honey!! " She finally noticed me.
I saw her climbing off from couch, running to me she hugged my legs , first I flinched a little. But smiled again.
" You came?? I missed you so much!! " She said grinning.
I glanced at Couch, he sighed before keeping glass on coffee table.
" Thank god you are here, I was waiting for you, I am getting late for my work. " He took his bag before approaching me " I will be leaving now, make Adhya finish the milk glass and don't forget about her lunch "
I was about to say something but he denied " Not right now, I am already late, will talk to you later. " Saying that he left.
As usual he was waiting for me, so that he can leave.
But I wanted it tell him that I want to quit, I don't want to continue this job. I can't take risk.
" Honey, how is your hand now?? " She dragged me out of my thoughts.
I just give her a thumbs up with smile.

One week passed but I couldn't tell him. It's hard for me, I don't know why but I got attached to Adhya.
And besides ,only three weeks are left for my wedding with Yash. I only have three weeks to live on my own way, after that I can imagine what my life would look like. A mess, a biggest mess.
There is nothing in this world which can save me from this .
I regret that day when I was in class eleven, I helped a unknown guy to reach at hospital. He was completely covered in blood when a truck driver hitted him, I just couldn't see that he was laying on the road passed out.
Me and Sara took him to hospital, but that was biggest mistake of our lives. The guy was none other than Yash. I wish........
My chain of thoughts got interrupted by a door bell.
I flinched a little.
" Honey, someone is at the door!! " Adhya said. We were sitting on the floor , she was making a drawing.
I looked at wall clock, it's three fifteen in afternoon, it's too early for Aditya to be at home. Who might be there??
I went to open the door. I was right, it wasn't Aditya!!

To be continue.........
