" I'll tell you a story "

I frowned and looked at him confused

Lavanya
" A story ! What am I to you ? A kid !! "

I saw him smiling and shook his head

Dhritimaan
" Just go and change otherwise we are going to argue the whole night "

I opened my mouth to say but ke kept his palm on it , stopping me from saying anything further and motioned towards the bathroom . Sighing in defeat I moved inside the washroom and did my business, later coming outside i saw Dhritimaan in his casuals .

Lavanya
" When did you change ? "

He made himself comfortable on the bed and looked at me

Dhritimaan
" I went into my room to freshen up "

I made an 'O' with my mouth and moved towards the bed .

Lavanya
" Are you going to sleep here ? "

I asked him as earlier all of us decided that we are going to stay here at the guesthouse and will leave tomorrow cuz everyone was pretty much tired .

Dhritimaan
" You want me to ? "

He asked leaning closer making me gulp

Lavanya
" The story....... What is it about ? "

I tried changing the topic and succeeded once he leaned back and sighed .

Dhritimaan
" Hmm.....it's about a man and a woman who fell in love with each other but later things took a turn and both of them faced many difficulties in the future "

My curiosity increased noticing his face which showed.........pain

Dhritimaan
" There was a man whose life was complicated, at least that's what he thought until he met a woman whose life was more messed up and complicated than his but she accepted it and lived like she's the happiest person in the world . But the truth behind her smile and carefree behavior was hidden from everyone. She suffered alone ever since she was a child . Her parents died in a car accident and her aunt adopted her after their death as everyone used to call her a bad omen and nobody took her responsibility, but there also she was not treated well by her aunt's husband . H-he....ahem.. he had bad intentions towards her and tried to force h-himself on her . Not once , not twice , not thrice but countless of times , he mistreated her , beat her , molested her . She kept quiet the whole time just because she never wanted her new so-called family to break . The man's misery was nothing in front of the woman's misery but she stayed strong and faced the world hiding everything behind her beautiful smile . They both met each other and spent time together and gradually fell in love . Deeply . Until one day she decided to open up about her past to that man , she cried her heart out in front of him , letting him see her worst side and the man on the other hand stayed by her side letting her know that she's not alone . Both of them fought together against her aunt's father but destiny played its game and both of them got into an accident and lost their memories . The man soon regained his memory but the woman's memories could not be brought back . But the man decided to start from the beginning and ought to destroy the person behind their misery and did everything he could to get her . Soon he got married to her and started his revenge . They then lived happily ever after and had 2 kids in the future or maybe more than 2 . "
