"Lawfully Wedded, Hated & Loved "

"Sight Worth Absorbing"

"ABHIMAAN'S POV"

"Arghhh" I screamed as I punched the punching bag in gym.

Since last one hour I was here expelling all my anger out on this bag.

She said me same.

How the fuck she said this. I'll not leave that Tanya. And sure there's a lot more to it.

Something which made it difficult for her to breath and gave her that panicked asthma attack. But she wouldn't tell me.

And why should she? Did I ? No right.

So why would she do that.

What's more to it Abhimaan!

And I can't tell what's more to it. How could I tell her that there wasn't anything happening to my image. My image is highly secured. It was all her image that the bastard planned to ruin. He had the clip of that night when he cheated and everything happened. He was at a cheap media channel to even give notes about it, tarnishing her image. How could I tell her this.

How could I even tell her this, that I didn't care about my image for a second but hers. But now, it's been a month. He can't prove anything even if he wants too. Because the marriage is registered in US laws. No one would now believe this rumor. I can in turn get charges on him for a lot of things. Even if they're lies, I can surely sue him. And as of stepping near Vrinda, I'll not let him be alive without thinking twice.

But I don't want her to know any of it. Because I don't want her to expect anything from me. She doesn't deserve this world of webs and lies that is spun around me.

I sighed and splashed water on my face.

As I was wiping my face I got a call from Eleanor.

"Yes Eleanor" I spoke

"Sir, there's a case, of Mr. Sankalp Charan, son of Shantanu Charan" She said

"Charan as in, the ex Indian finance minister" I asked my focus totally on it.

"Yes sir. It happens to be an important case I thought to let you know if we're taking it or not" She said

"Brief about the case" I questioned going towards the kitchen.

"His son is charged for a massive human trafficking. Mr. Charan says he's innocent" She said and I paused taking the water from RO.

"Till yesterday evening, get me the birth card of this Charan. We'll see then" I told

"Um, sir.. " Eleanor hesitated

"What's there " I asked

"He said he knows something which would lessen your burden from past" She said and I looked over the call.

"This senior Charan is in India? " I asked with a small smirk.

"Yes sir. He asked me to tell you that he would appreciate a meeting tomorrow" She told

"Get a meeting fixed Eleanor. Of tomorrow 4 pm IST " I said

"Okay sir. " She replied and I cut the call.

Mom and Aadi would be here in sometime. I looked at the time. It was already half past one.

Taking a jug of water I went back to the room to see Vrinda sleeping. Her cheeks again had those dried tears.

I don't want to be reason of her tears damn it. Yet I am. Yet I'm going to be the reason. And I want to beat the shit out of me for being this reason.

I took a look at her again and saw her arm under her head. Sighing I went near and carefully held her head removing the hand from beneath. She squirmed in her sleep yet the dose of medicines didn't let her open her eyes.
