Shaken, would be in all possible ways be an understatement to,my condition,a feeling of an impending doom had settled in my heart,his coming back after all this while cant be without purpose and definitely cant be a good news.
Just when i thought i am nearing my peace the universe plans to hatch a plan to bring in a tornado.I had to contemplate my plan,of dealing with a lot of things,but before everything i had to leave from here,i could not let navya know this,she would start hyperventilating,also i feared her knowing the one and most important mistake of my life.
I came out of my dreamland when i heard navya ringing the bell,as she came in abusing the shopkeeper who made her wait and then gave her some other CD instead of the one she wanted.I decided to make my move,
"Navu m so sorry but i have to leave my boss called and there are certain mails i have to send,which cant wait till tomorrow,so i have to rush but i will meet up with u tomorrow".She looked unconvinced and considered what i said,"U r still mad at me for my matchmaking ryt??"
I said no,and assured her it has nothing to do with our previous converstion,finally after a lot of cajoling she agreed,but as i reached out to take my bag to leave she pulled me back suddenly and took me in a side hug and said,
"Nandu,remember no matter what, u would never be alone ok me,cabir and arjun would be always.there for,happy birthday again."As much as i felt overwhelmed by hearing her but those words choked me with guilt for hiding things from her,but NO i could not reveal my past ,not yet,she is too sensitive.As i stepped out Arjun came running saying he would drop me as he was the one who got me here.
After bidding our farewell we set out for my place,but somehow as i neared home i was getting more and more nervous.Finally we reached my place,though i should have been courteous and invited him in,but then i really wanted to be alone,so wishing him night,i turned to go.But just as i reached the stairs,i heard him call my name.
I turned in surprise coz it was unlikely for him to address me by my name and not the usual weird names.
I saw him getting off his bike to come to me with a weird expression,he seemed NERVOUS???but that felt strange,i mean y would he be nervous,dat too from me.
He came close to me and looked deeply into my eyes,i dont know for the first time i start getting nervous with him as if he is going to say something,which i dont ever want to hear from him.Before he says something i hug him tight so he wont see my face,and say.
"Thank u monkey for the lovely surprise,i know u must have planned it beforehand only,u people are the best i have,bt u guys have drained all my energy and m feeling sleepy,so v will meet tomorrow,okie???".Saying this i break the hug,i know it was rude but that is all i could think of doing.Though he seemed disappointed,but putting on a smile he bussed my forehead and closed the gate looking straight at me with a different smile.
I waved him bye and reached my apartment,stepping into my apartment,i felt a strange coldness making me nervous again,as soon as i turned on the light,i was pulled and pinned to the door,i looked with my eyes open wide at my husband.
M not sure if he is still is just my husband.well with him i can never be sure of anything,neither were we traditionally married nor are we officially divorced so to decipher my current relationship status with him is hard.I come out of my thoughts as i feel his hot breath on my neck and piercing gaze on me,i struggle to get out from the boundary he has set on either side of me with his hands.
"Why are you here Manik,and what was with that bouquet,and get this straight i am not your wife,it was all a mistake, i had left you alone just the way you wanted me to.M done with you and ur casanova lifestyle so just lemme be"
As soon as i said this and took a step ahead,i was pulled back by him roughly,he dangerously grabbed me by my waist and looked straight into my eyes.
"BUT M SO NOT DONE WITH YOU"
God if looks could kill i would have been a dead meat by now.He smirks looking at my restlessness,he is like one of those predator who feeds on the victims fear,i continue with my struggle to get away from him."What happened wifey,you dont like my touch on you,but you seemed quite comfortable throwing yourself at your new target ooops FRIENDDD,heard he is a millionaire,Got ur hands on a JACKPOT AGAIN.is it wifey?"
I have known him enough to understand his sarcasm,i dont understand how i fell for him,and m still surprised at his audacity he himself is a casanova but he is accusing me that too in my house.
WAIT...My house how did he get in,i finally succeed in pushing him away and ask maintaining a good distance from him."How did you know i live here and how the hell did you get inside,why are you here??".
He again smiles in a way as if i have asked him some kindergarden calculation,after settling himself comfortably on the sofa in the living room.He finally looks up,"Well wifey where are your manners wont u give ur husband a welcome kiss,and still you are my concerned dumb wife,well concerned because of your endless queries,well you know i am MANIK MALHOTRA so tracing your address and getting into ur rat hole oooh i mean apartment was easy,as for why i am here,well dumbo think back i already answered that in the note i send u"
I stand there lifeless as i see him lie down on my sofa resting his head on his hand and then it strikes me, his note
"HE IS HERE TO TAKE ME BACK!BUT WHY DOES HE WANT ME BACK?"
THIS CANT BE GOOD
