Destructive Desires

chapter 26

SATVIK POV

''the number you are trying to call is not answering please try again later'' , controlling her tears Sandhya put down her phone , its already the fifth call she made to her grandfather , she sadly came and sat beside me playing with the veins of my right hand while my left hands holds some documents , ohh her touch it feels so nice it was worth working out to have a veiny hands , I heard women love them and now I see my women obsessed with it , I can't help but be proud of myself , I heard her sniffling ''hey are you crying'' I made her look up to see slight tears in her eyes ''yes I am crying , I feel so bad grandpa is not talking to me , I get it he is angry with our marriage , but I don't know how to make him talk to me I am sure he will understand everything when he know the truth''

I don't know what to say he already knows the truth , why is he not talking to her is something I don't know either wiping her tears I assured her ''don't worry he will come around''

''yeah you are right''

Despite my attempts to assure her , half of the day passed still her mood was down I cannot see her like this , taking my car keys I lied to her that I am going to meet Sameer for some work , instead I was going to her grandfather to ask him the reason of not talking to her

Zooming my car at the empty road I soon reached his house

''please wait sir will be here shortly'' his assistant told me , I took my seat and waited for him to come and hour passed and that is when he came out of his study to meet me , seeing him I stood up in respect ''hello Mr.Kapoor''

''hmm no need to be formal , you are my grand son-in-law after all'' is it my imagination or I feel a little hostility in his voice

We took seats in front of each other ''speak why do you want to say'' , I hesitated a little before telling him ''you should speak with my wife she is very sad and worried about you''

''you have some nerve to come here after all you have done '' I didn't understood him shouldn't he be happy after all everything happened the way he wanted

''I am sorry sir I didn't understood'' I replied under his piercing gaze

''why do you have to marry her by kidnapping her that to in some far away area'' disappointment was there in his voice , I know the way I married her was wrong , no women would ever want it '' I am sorry sir , I never wanted It to be that way''

''sorry what can your sorry change now , you should have come to me , I would have helped you'' I kept quiet as I still have to convince him to talk to her ''also some days ago the family dinner you were not there how irresponsible of you'' he spat in anger , this family dinner incident has become a proof of how irresponsible and a bastard I am to ignore my wife who is nothing but good and compassionate towards me , who kept going against my wishes to push her afar , never stopped providing warmth to my cold heart , standing up I went in front of him kneeled down ''please forgive me for my mistakes I will not repeat it again , there will never come a day when she had to face something like this again'' , he looked down at me ''I don't know how my Sandhya is coping up with you''

As soon as he said this there came a voice her voice ''I am coping up well with him , you don't need to worry about us'' my eyes widened seeing her angrily storming toward us

''Sandhya why are you here , are you all right'' said her grandfather who was equally shocked to see her , but ignoring his words she came to me and offered her hand ''come on we our going home our home'' as soon as I stood up she took my hands and dragged me towards the main door ''wait you should talk to you grandfather'' I said trying to make settle things between them

''he is right Sandhya it's been so many days come sit with me for a while'' his grandfather urged her to stay for some more time , turning around she looked at both of us with so much anger that it zipped our mouth up

'' talk to you , why would I bother talking to you , you didn't even replied to my messages and calls you didn't even let me meet you ''

''I am sorry Sandhya I was afraid to face you actually the truth is'' she stopped him in the middle

''I know the truth Satvik told me everything except the fact that you were the one to request him to marry me , which your assistant just told me'' her grandfather shot a murderous glare first at me then at his assistant who was standing at the far away corner , well I was shot with another murderous glare of my wife, god save me

''you say that Satvik failed to protect me but you did the same you didn't come to the family dinner as well'' oh yeah I haven't thought about it , good wifey take my side because I am shit scared of your grandfather well I am not afraid of anyone but him because I should be in his good books so that I can be in my wife's good books

''I was so scared at first but it was Satvik who was true to me , if he wanted he could have painted you in a bad light , blamed both of us to force him into this marriage but he did not , he didn't wanted me to feel betrayed by you he didn't told me about your participation at all , if not for me coming here I would have never known about it'' she paused to take a deep breath ''and I come here to find my husband kneeling down at floor , you got to be kidding me''

Coming in front of me she again said ''he is my husband , you treat him with respect or I will not talk to you''

There was a thud in my heart she would go as far as to not talk to the most important person in her life for me , the person not worth even her one glance , if looks could kill I might have died a thousand deaths by now as his grandfather was clearly giving me that look ''don't look at him in anger'' good wife , I am proud of you , grandfather was irked to see her defending me , I was smiling like a fool , turning around Sandhya squinted at me ''tum kya itna hass rhe ho ghar chalo phir batati hun'' now it was time for grandpa to smirk at me he even slid his thumb over his neck to indicated me that I am in big trouble and waved me goodbye , with a sadistic smile on his face , he really is a sinister old man.
