His Brother's Wife

Chapter - 57

Aditya's POV:

After meeting my parents I went straight to my home. I entered the house and there was a pin-drop silence. I entered the bedroom and saw Pihu sleeping on her back and her hair was covering her face. I smiled looking at her and seeing her I forgot all the things that happened.

I came inside the room and closed the door slowly without making a noise. I was so tired that I just wanted to have her in my arms. Without changing clothes I lay beside her. I adjusted myself and then pulled her closer to me. I made her lay over my chest and started massaging her hair. I could not sleep so I was just calming myself by holding her tight. I kept my left hand on her hair while my right hand was on my head. I was trying to close my eyes to relax for some time.

Pihu stirred in her sleep and I opened my eyes to see her. She lifted her head and saw my face. She smiled but then she got up and sat on the bed.

"Aditya whose blood is this?" she asked as she saw blood on my shirt. The blood was on my right hand and it might be when I punched him.

"It's no one. Please just come here," I told her as I needed her warmth. "Are you mad? Is it hurting anywhere?" saying she started to examine my body. I can see the panic in her eyes.

I smiled at her care and said "Sunflower I just need you." I extended my hand and she saw my knuckles. She took my hand in her and examined it. Then she went inside the washroom and brought a first aid kit.

She cleaned the wounds and asked, "How did it happen?" I don't want to lie to her nor do I want to hide it from her.

I took a deep breath and started narrating the whole story. I just left the part where I put the iron rod on that man. I left it because I didn't want her to feel guilty. I told her that my parents were behind the miscommunication between us.

"I tried Pihu I tried to make them understand but I failed," I told her the truth. I wanted my parents to be part of my happiness.

"It's ok Aditya. Give them some time they will come around," I was already feeling low so I just needed her by my side.

I laid on her lap and hugged her stomach. "Please don't leave me ever," I said about my biggest fear. I don't know when I developed this fear but I have started getting this thought every now and then. I don't know what will happen if Pihu leaves me. I will have no one in my life.

"You are my Angry bird and I will never leave you, she ruffled my hair. "Aditya you need to change and then come to bed," she scolded me as if I was her child.

"Pihu please not now," I was in no mood to get up and do anything.

"Get up now," she said angrily and I followed her instructions. When I came out of the bathroom I saw her putting on the bed table and putting some food.

"I am not in a mood to eat anything," I told her and came and sat on the bed. I think Pihu's suggestion was good as I am feeling a little refreshed.

"I know you have not eaten anything since morning so I asked the help to cook some food. Let us eat something then we can do as you say," she told me and started to plate the food.

"Pihu I am not in a mood to eat anything," I repeated. Though I have not eaten anything since morning but hunger was the last thing in my mind now.

"Ok fine. I was hungry but let it be I will eat later," saying she started to get up with the plate. Shit, I forgot she might not have eaten anything. If I decline now she won't eat and I am unsure if she will eat later.

So I decided to follow her orders and asked "I am hungry. Can we eat?"

"Aditya leave don't force yourself it's fine," she said and I could see she was forcing herself not to eat.
