Falling In Love

22.THE HAUNTING PAST

Rehan's POV

I was holding her tightly but she seemed weak because of all the crying. I carried her bridal style and she hid her face in my chest and held me by my neck. I carefully placed her on the sofa.

What did he do? I asked her calmly despite the fuming anger that was running through my veins.

She didn't say anything and she was looking at the floor while playing with the hem of her dupatta. I held her chin and forced her to face me.

What. Did. He. Do? I asked her and this time the calmness was long gone and my tone was authoritative and it reflected clear dominance.

She finally looked at me, those eyes, those god damn eyes are capable of making me kill and die for her.

"Let it be Ranaji you can't do anything," she spoke softly but her lips trembled.

Then you don't know me well. If you want I would tear this whole world for you. Just tell me what did he do? I can't see you in pain. And I am willing to do whatever it takes to erase every pain from your heart and fill it with happiness.

Now tell me What did he do?

I won't ask again instead I will bury him 6 feet under.

Rhea's POV

My mind was telling me not to tell Rehan anything about my past but my heart wasn't ready to listen. I knew somewhere in my heart that I'd be fine and safe once I told him.

His jaw was tight and his fingers were curled into a fist so hard that he might bleed. His perfect physique and broad shoulders were a perfect sight under the moonlight cascading from the curtains of the room. I somehow gathered the courage and decided to tell him.

Ishita and I were new in Mumbai and we were invited to a party which was hosted by our mutual friend. It was on the outskirts. At first, I was hesitant but then some persuading and blackmail by Ishita took me to realise that I would miss out on the fun so I decided to go.

When I went inside the party it was magnificent and magical. I have never been to a place like that before. And there I met Jai he was so sweet to me throughout the party. We danced, laughed and enjoyed the party together, instantly I was drawn towards him. He offered me a drink but at that time I didn't use to drink so I refused. To which he surprisingly said that he would get me a juice.

I drank the juice and started feeling dizzy and then the last thing I remember was waking up in a motel room with no clothes on, while the... Bed... Sheets...were... Co.. Covered... In... Bl... Blood.... I took therapies for years and then I somehow managed to get him out of my system.

I watched as Rehan sat up from the sofa his jaw ticking like a time bomb.

Thud
Thud
Thud

I could see the fuming anger in his eyes. He curled his fist and his knuckles turned white. and then there was a silence that one could hear the fall of a needle. Rehan's anger was slow burning and dangerous like a tsunami that is capable of engulfing everything that comes in it's way. He swallowed a lump so hard that his Adam's apple bobbled.

"I am going to kill that bastard," he said in his deep cold voice and his tone was as dangerous as it could get.

Rana.. I was cut off by an unusual appearance made by Jai. My worst nightmare walking straight into the room, my body started shivering but before he could reach to me Rehan held him by his collar and suddenly everything became cold. the tension became palpable in the air. Their body language spoke volumes, with their jaws clenched, shoulders squared, and eyes locking onto each other with intensity. Rehan was looking at him so dangerously as if he was ready to pounce at the slightest provocation.
