The Unrevealed Mystery

16. Dressing

"What the fuck Jay... Why did you.. Ughh.." I shouted and groaned in frustration.

"What?" He asked clueless.

"I asked you to take me to Jake, didn't I?" I questioned him.

"Yay.. But you were literally half passed out. And you can meet him now you know." He said.

"No Jay you don't understand. I told you he is admitted in the hospital." I said.

"What !No You just said that he needs you." He argued.

"Car keys?" I asked, holding my hand out for him to give the car keys.

"But Kiara." He started. I gave him a stare which meant I dare you to argue. He kept quiet.

I hastily rushed into the car and started it as well as the GPS. Throughout the driving I crossed my index finger over my middle finger and wished that nothing bad should ever happen to Jake.

I sigh as I reached the same hospital I was in last night. I never realised I was holding my breath and I was nervous. I parked my car and ran towards the counter. The girl at the counter was shocked seeing me. I gave her a confused look.

"Jake Agrawal?" I asked her.

"Second floor to the right second room." She answered inwardly laughing.

"Weirdo." I murmured to myself and climbed the stairs hastily. I climbed the stairs because I didn't find the elevator anywhere around and the stairs were first in sight. Even I badly wanted to meet Jake.

I was about to open the door without knocking. I know it's bad manners to not to knock, but it was Jake and if that nurse again didn't allow me. So better I decided to just walk in. I was about to walk in but bumped into someone very strong. As soon as I inhaled I knew it was him it was his scent. The same aftershave fresh smell.

"Ahh..." I murmured in pain, rubbing my nose. I stepped a few steps backward. He raised his eyebrows and eyed me. At that point of time it actually hit me that something was wrong with me.

He looked from left to right and seeing no one around, he pushed me into a room not so close by but a few rooms across.

"What?" I said, rubbing my wrist, which was now red as Mr. Agrawal pulled me roughly by my wrist into a room which was full of boxes and strong medicinal smell around.

"Yes, exactly what?" He asked me to look me from top to bottom..

"Yes exactly wh.." I stopped when I followed his eyes towards what I was wearing. I was wearing a very long men XXL Top which I recognised was of Uncle John's son. Those T-shirts I had for so many years and it was kind of a habit to sleep in such XXL, overly washed, soft, overly sized comfortable clothes.

I panicked and turned around. My face, for sure, was flushed. My back was facing him and I panicked.

As I realised that I was wearing my undergarments I signed in relief. But then again, I panicked. There was nothing on the bottom.

"Seriously, now you are feeling shy after flashing your skin and who knows whose T-shirt to everyone?" He asked anger in his voice. My mind was elsewhere. ' Why was I not wearing anything in the bottom?' I thought. I usually wear shorts or some track.
I signed in relief as I realised that I was wearing a very short blue shorts that this under the large XXL top hid.

I took a deep breath of relief and then panicked again. ' The last thing I remember was, I was wearing an Indian outfit for Navaratri then how come I was in this outfit did Jay change me?' I thought and gasped. ' How dare he?' I was so much angry on Jay but at that moment the thing I wanted badly to do was to see Jake to hug him.

I came face to face with the one and only Mr. Agrawal. Infact Mr. Agrawal should universally be a synonym to Arrogant after him.

"Move." I told him confidently. His expression was that of surprise.

"I want to meet Jake." I told him.

"I am not letting you meet Jake after you just have come from who knows where with whom getting what, not disease and seriously do you think I will let you meet him in this condition." He said eyeing me. I looked at my reflection in the glass door behind Mr. Agrawal. I was still wearing kamarbandh (an Indian ornament worn around waist \ waistband.) inside the top, inside the top, ring, key shaped locket and a mantika/ Bindi (An Indian ornament worn on forehead.. Picture on the side)

"Excuse me?" I questioned angrily in order for him to repeat himself.

"You are excused. You may leave." With that, he turned to leave me in this stinky kinda dark room all by myself.

"Wait." I told and grabbed his arm.

"It's not what you think.... It isn't what it seems like.." I started but he interrupted.
"Okay.. You want to SEE Jake right?" He asked. I nodded.

"I would let you in on one condition." He eyed my attire.

"Only if you come along with me to the court tomorrow for Jake's custody case and act like my wife." He continued looking straight in my eyes. His eyes were filled with so much anger and I could clearly see that he didn't want to be with me even for a second at that point of time I saw something in his eyes that was hatred for me.

"Act like your wife?" I questioned his last sentence. I really wanted to know where were we.

"Yeah." He said.

"But I legally am.." I started to question.

"Right after 'I' get Jake's custody I will file for our divorce and I will make sure it happens quick." He said, leaving me dumbfounded.
