I was taken aback when he pointed his gun at my forehead. His blazing eyes stared at me while his ragged breaths were the only sound echoing the most in the silent room. The room has suddenly fallen silent after our constant shouts.
My heart thumped hard against the ribs but it stopped when he turned the weapon towards his temple.
"Doll, I'll kill myself rather than let the thought cheating on you come to my mind. I had said that before too", he spoke after a long silence.
My body was already shaking in fear, after anger and now his position scared me to the core.
"A-Arnav keep it down please. It's dangerous", I pleaded holding out my hands in his direction to indicate him to keep down the deadly weapon.
My throat ached as I gulped down my sobs. I was suddenly getting scared to death.
"No Anika. I feel like I failed as a husband despite my several tries to change for you. I was and am a bastard. Just forgive me if you can doll", he spoke. Even if his tone was neutral, hurt and pain reflected from it and it pained me.
"No Arnav it's not like that. My heart doesn't believe that you can do something like that. It's just that she said everything like that I got into her words", I spoke vulnerably, my voice trembled as I tried to calm him down and make him listen to my words.
He frowned, "She?"
I nodded, "Arshi was here a while ago."
He threw the gun in some corner before striding towards me and pulling me over to the bed. The bed was on a bit higher level from the ground, placed on a wooden stage. So I stumbled when he was pulling me but it was my least concern. I was already shedding tears in fear of witnessing something horrible.
Making me sit on the bed, he sat infront of me before he spoke sternly, "Anika, tell me everything that happened in my absence."
I couldn't hide anything from him anymore because of the stunt he had pulled a while ago. I told him how she had come inside and whatever she had spoken. Everything told was as it has happened and the whole time, I noticed him getting furious more and more.
My heart was thumping hard while my body had actually turned colder in fear. I can't lie that I don't fear his anger. He had DID and a person with that disorder can ruin everything in anger.
After I finished, he didn't utter a single word but just kept staring at me silently. His posture clearly stated his anger but I don't know on whom he was angry.
"You trusted her and doubted me?", he asked finally, but monotonously. Even if he had revealed a single emotion, at least I could've answered in a way he'd have calmed down but he was just emotionless like a statue.
"No Nav I didn't trust her. I don't want to act like a victim but I was messed up and her provocation worked because of the timing. I fought against myself from believing her words but Arnav, we both know that we don't know each other well at all. You've shown yourself to me how much you wanted and the same goes for me. We actually never opened up, now we can't blame ourselves because the situation was like that. We never got time and the chance to do so.
