Mad love - of destined souls

14. Conversation

Vamsi.

I scratched my nape and thought a lot my feet fumbled at the same place. Finally I decided. "Rabbit" I called her when she is doing her favorite thing watching sky hugging her body feeling the wind coming from the window. She walked towards me, I placed a cover in her hands. She grabbed it and without looking at it she went to the wardrobe kept it inside and closed the doors. My eyebrows thinned at her actions.

"what did you do?", I asked her lifting my eye brows. She looked at me as if she didn't understood anything.

"Hmm... why did you keep that inside", I asked. "I thought you wanted me to keep that inside", she answered innocently while her eyes are on my feet. "Go bring that packet", I ordered. She brought the packet and stood in front of me. 

"open it", I said crossing my arms across my chest and she opened it and looked at the dress I bought for her. I know all she wears is some sarees given by maa and some dresses given by Disha. But those were not hers and I can't let her go outside like that so after great consideration I decided buy her a new dress. It was a yellow color Flared kurta. I was waiting for her reaction. Her eyes twinkled for a moment as she saw the dress then the next moment it went blank which made me irritated. 

"Didn't you like it", I asked my eyes pinned on her. She was silent which frustrated me further "you can throw it if you didn't-" I said little loudly which made her flinch in her position. I stopped speaking when I realized I scared her. "Is this for me", she asked in her low chirping voice without meeting my eyes.

"If I bought this then it must be for you", I said. "But why?", she asked meeting my eyes trying to find answer in them.

"for tomorrow", I said. "you really permit me to go outside", she asked while her eyes pinned to mine. I nodded.

"Thank you...", she averted her eyes from me to dress. she traced the fabric with her fingers. "This is beautiful. I like it", she said. I don't know if I'm wearing a dumb expression but I felt happy hearing her. I took 2 whole hours to chose this dress after all. She packed it properly like it was and placed it inside.

"rabbit", I sat on the bed crossing my legs and gestured her to sit in front of me she sat letting her legs down touching the ground as I said with my eyes. "why did you marry me that day", I asked her. she kept scratching her middle finger with her thumb. "I... didn't wanted someone to harm my family", she said while choking, tears rolled in her eyes but didn't come out. 

"Then why did you kill my family", I asked. she turned her face away from me but I could see her she blinked her eyes to not let the tears out. again she didn't speak.

"What will you do if I kill you right here", I asked after some silence as I knew she is resisting to answer previous question. "I wouldn't be alive to do anything unless I come back as devil", she said. A sarcastic chuckle left my mouth. She is still scratching her finger peeling the skin I don't know if that nervousness or irritation. I held her hand to stop her she looked at me.

"Can I ask you something", I asked her she looked at me with the blank face of course I'll ask whatever she said but she chose silence. "Who is Priya?", I asked. She tried to let of my grasp on her wrist, she started wiggling which only made me tighten it even more. I know she wouldn't answer me. Is Ms. Priya related to the things that are going on in our life.

"What are you hiding from me rabbit", I asked when she stopped wiggling. As usual silence is what all I got.  

"Speak 'rabbit' wouldn't it be easy for us if you speak", I said desperately waiting for her to speak I don't know why suddenly I decided to talk to her but I wanted to know why she did that. "what is the reason that made you kill someone", I asked.
