LOCKED - 'Prison of Love'

7. (Serene)

Now days I've noticed that Ivan is avoiding going to his work most of the time he works from home. I'm also trying to find something to do online because now I admitted that no way he is going to let me step out of the house. Many times I prepare myself to ask him to take me out but he himself is not going anywhere, and I don't know why but it seems that he is hiding something from me. All day he is being busy in his study room. Won't return till midnight and sometimes he sleeps there.

One day I decided to go to him, It was 1:30 at night. But when I reached to his study room, he wasn't there, I toured whole house to find him but he was nowhere to be seen. I tried to call him but he didn't picked up, now I decided to wait for him and sat in living room, It's 2:45 and I was sleepy.

Atleast he should inform me where is he going. Ofcourse I wasn't going to stop him like he does to me.

I was worrying about him because I've seen him worried for me, and anyways he is doing a lot for me. I was almost asleep when sudden opening of door awoken me. There he was, with the same look I saw him that day, when he returned late just like this.

I stood up, a flood of thoughts came in my brain. Oh yeah he has a girlfriend, how could I forget that.

He looked at me, "You are not asleep yet?" He asked coming towards me.

"I didn't felt like sleeping, so I was w-watching movie." I lied. I didn't felt like to let him know that I was waiting for him. He nodded. "Where were you? At this time." I couldn't resist the urge to ask him.

"I was a bit tired of a work so I-I went for some peace. To something that provides relaxation to my nerves." He replied with a smile. Come on Ivan you don't have to feel awkward, you can tell me that you have a girlfriend, as I already know that and don't worry I won't become a throne between your path , it's just a matter of time.

"Hazel!" He waved his hand in front of my eyes.

"Huh?"

"You seemed lost somewhere."

"Nowhere" I said, and I noticed something on his Arm. A tattoo, I never realised that he has a tattoo on his body. It was written something. I leaned a bit to get a look at it. 'Seren'

So his girlfriend's name is Seren, huh.

"Would you like to come to the bed or still you are going to watch movie?" I spotted sarcasm, ofcourse TV wasn't on. "I'll go to the bed, Don't you see that I've already turned off the Television." I said and turned my heels towards stairs, I heard his sigh.

It's been week and now every night Ivan is going out. Sometimes don't even returns till morning. I got to know this when I witness him coming when I was having my breakfast. Sometimes he is in a formal and sometimes in casual.

"Is he is home?" I asked to the maid who served me breakfast.

"Yes Ma'am." She said. After having my breakfast I went to his study room as he didn't showed up at downstairs.

It was open and he was laying on a couch. His arm was bare visible as he was in a half sleeves black T shirt. With a black trouser. I went to him and his Tattoo flashed at me like a LED light. I was narrowing my eyes at it. When suddenly his arm moved and he held my hand, he was looking at me.

"Good Morning, Wifey!" He said and sat up.

"Morning" I said and tried to free my hand. "What were you staring at?" He asked pulling me and I landed on his lap. I was already irritated and he is Making me more. "Who is Seren?" I snapped. His lips curled into mischievous smirk. He pulled me closer and whispered in my ear, "So you found out, dear wife, about my Love."

I stood up from his lap and started walking towards door, "I would like you to have a meet up. Today Evening at 7." He said. "Sure." I replied without turning back and tried to sound like I-don't-care.

Today he didn't even returned to bedroom! Okay okay I shouldn't feel bad, but then why the hell he kissed me that too two times. He shouldn't have done that. He shouldn't have created any physical relationship between us.

It was 7 in the evening and I was climbing down stairs. He was already downstairs, fully dressed.

I didn't looked at him and turned towards kitchen by he held my wrist. "Don't you remember Butterfly!, We have to go somewhere.." He spoke getting close to me.

"No I don't." I said yanking my hand but he didn't let me. He pulled me and we were standing turned to eachother.

"Seems, You are jealous!" He said removing hair strainds from my face.

"I'm not.. Why I-" He interrupted me. "Let's go then." He turned towards door and started walking I followed him. As we reached outside I saw a bike parked, usually his car get parked here which he uses daily.

"Not on a bike Ivan. Please. It's cold." I said.

He rested his body on a bike, and then turned towards me, "I'm not taking you anywhere."

"But you said..-"

"Meet my love Serene." He said strocking on seat of bike. Don't tell me that he was talking bike being his love?.

"Are you serious or you're kidding me? A Bike!" I said.

"I didn't know you'll be shocked, you must be read in a book that boys usually likes bikes, it's nothing that much shoking, is it?" He said "It's just that I didn't wanted anyone to know this about me. But I can't help it when you were spying on me." He shrugged.

"I never expected you to having such a cool thing, i mean.. honesty you really look boring. But y-yeah this is nice." I said but I can see a tint of annoyance on his face. I shouldn't have said that 'boring' word.

"That's it. Let's go inside." He said and walked past me inside the mansion.

-------------------------

"Ivan..." I called during dinner. We were having meal together after a long time. He didn't even looked up.

"I didn't mean that 'boring' word...really."

"I don't mind whatever you call me." He said getting up from table and went to the room, He didn't even give me a chance to speak again.

'Now why should one feel so bad about this? I didn't said something that much bad.' I murmured to myself.
