Arohi

Each seconds seemed so long as I waited for him to react. I didn't wanted to disguise him and so the want to fill him engrossed in me but his silence was haunting me.

My eyes remained shut as I pled for his calm attire which would trust me and listen to me. Palming my stomach with both my hands and covering the sides with my arm I readied for anything still praying.

"Hmm.. " I heard this and that's when I took a breath which was worth it. Rest were like burden.

I opened my eyes to look at him who stared me back with the mask that was hard to read. He seemed emotion less.

For a moment I wanted to go back to last few minutes and change everything such that I wouldn't have to face him.

"Dev. " I breathed.

He sighed before saying," Do you still love that person?" it was a forced whisper.

"I don't. " I said instantly. He thought for a while and smiled bitterly.

" Why? " He gazed down and I think he was watching the baby bump.

" Because he was... evil. " I stated quietly and he smirked.

He kept looking down and I waited in his arms for him to say so that I can tell him the rest.

Are you judging me?

My head said a lot but my tongue failed to utter next.

" With that word I imagine myself to be called this next. I don't complain. " His jaw tightened as he grew more rigid.

" You are not evil. " I whispered quite hurt.

He took a deep breath before saying," What happened between you and him? "

" He wasn't the man whom I loved. He was a complete opposite to what I fell for. " I told him and he gritted his teeth more fiercely.

He will beat you Arohi.

This was how he looked in our early days after our marriage. So dangerous and cold.

Devil.

" Are you angry with me? " I managed and looked at him to read but my blurry vision wasn't giving way.

I blinked several times to wipe the wetness out of my eye. I wasn't crying now, I thought preparing my head for any kind of blow.

" I don't know. I am angry but not with you. Still I want to shout at you and punish you but I couldn't help doing it. " He peered me.

I gulped. His uneasiness was hammering my senses.

What are you making up yourself Dev?
"Punish me if that helps you. " I sobbed as I wasn't one now.

I couldn't hurt either of them. My child and my Dev, both were my life.

"It would kill me." He whispered placing his hand over my cheek.
