"How're you now?", asked Rehan standing by my side of the bed.
I nodded in response, my head was hurting slightly.
"Why did you eat that?", he asked. I got confused by his sudden question which made me look up at him. His face was blank but his eyes burnt with fire.
"You know it very well what I'm talking about", he cleared his words.
Sighing I looked away, "Because I hurt her."
I heard him sigh, "So you'd eat the food with so many allergic ingredients? You were serious or were you high on something?", his tone held anger and frustration.
Turning back my head I looked at him again and replied, "I will. Even if she asks to die, I will. Because it's my wife's order and I'm always on my knees to follow her orders", my words were firm and strong.
"What the hell are you speaking? That woman was planning to most probably kill you and you're after her? Has that woman made you crazy?", he yelled.
"Don't Rehan. Don't. She has a name and as a reminder, she's your bhabhi. Give her respect", I replied sternly.
"Really? Fine I'll do that. But does she deserve this respect, huh? Does she? She was going to kill you and you're talking about respecting her?", he asked, his face held a look of disbelief.
"Yes I'm serious. Even if she had killed me, I'd have died with peace that it was her who killed me. Yes she deserves respect because what I did to her was totally underserved. I didn't even go to the depth before deciding to ruin her life by marrying her and moreover, I hurt her", I replied staring somewhere blankly.
It's hard for me to believe that the heartless bastard that I used to be, is now head over hills over his wife.
I heard him sigh, "Do as you wish. But I won't forgive her this easily."
"What'd you have done if it had been you in my place and your wife in my place?", I asked. I didn't fail to notice the change in his expressions from annoyed and frustrated to pale.
"Fuck you asshole", he cursed before storming out of my room. I chuckled.
He cares for me I know but showing it physically isn't his way.
I was lost in my thoughts when the sound of door creaking open caught my attention. I looked up to find Anika standing by the door frame, staring at me. For the first time I saw something else in her eyes other than hatred.
"Come inside", I spoke calmly letting her come inside. She stepped in before closing the door and sat by me. Her fingers fiddled with the fabric of her kurti while her gaze remained fixed to the floor.
Tucking her chin between my fingers, I let her gaze lock with mine before I spoke, "Don't be guilty. Hm?"
I searched for something in her eyes but failed miserably. Maybe it's not the time. I'm expecting too much.
