Crown

chapter 18

nightmare

'wake up my king ! wake up . he is going to kill us.'

she tried waking up her husband from the deep slumber he was in . he woke up his ear buzz with screams . he looked around the bed which filled with blood . he saw blood all around him . he saw his wife who was screaming in pain lying on the floor . blood flowing from her mouth , her eyes teary from pain . he went towards her and took her in his arms putting her head on his lap . he asked trying to control the pain he is feeling , his chest tightened with emotion by looking at the condition of his wife . someone stabbed her , her pale skin turning cold , her body covered in the blood

he saw her pointing towards something with her fingers.

he followed the direction of her finger ,only to be shocked to his wits. there stood the killer , his eyes holding the deathly range while his hand covered with blood of his wife . he saw him crook his head to side and give him a slid smirk . the killer played with the knife in his hands and set on the chair still smirking at the blood scene in front of his . his eyes still holding that deathly glare as if it will kill whatever come in it way. the killer saw as he screamed his wife name as finally her soul parted with her body .

'who did this?'

'you ! why you did this?' he asked taking angry step towards the killer. he did this ? how dare he? he will pay for this.

'come on father ! don't look so shocked . you always knew what was coming yet you remained so unaffected. i will kill everyone that will come in my way to the crown. your lovely wife and children is dead and now it's your turn. but don't worry i won't kill you. what kind of son i will be if i kill my own father. tch tch.. ' the killer moved the knife up and down . his expression that of a cold blooded killer.

'i will keep you alive yet kill you every second of the day make you plead for the death but it will never come. its time to pay father , it's time you pay !' the killer put the knife on his neck making him sweat in fear as he plead for mercy but killer stood with same deathly glare ready to burn everything to pieces . he struggled in his hold but to no avail.

'i have the ACE father'

'ARNAV!!!!!!!! LEAVE ME . SPARE ME !' he screamed and screamed. he opened his eyes taking deep breaths as he realized that it was just a dream . a horrific dream ,a dream that can turn into reality if he soon didn't do anything.

khushi has not been able to sleep properly in the past week , akash's word kept on haunting her. she thought she will ask arnav the next time he calls . but she wasn't able to gather enough courage to ask him that question. how can she? that to over the phone. what will he think of her . he will think that his wife don't trust her at all .

and anyway didn't shyam was telling in her that akash like to joke . he was probably kidding , just messing with her to win that's all . why else would arnav hid such a big thing from her . he is such a good innocent person . he did not seemed like a person who would be involved with someone else yet be with her. or father a child and marry another woman leaving his mother.

khushi took a deep breath to keep such thoughts at bay . she won't let such rumours affect her life like that , she will ask arnav the moment he will come back . she know such misunderstanding can lead to disaster and she won't let her marriage break.

'wow . so i believe the talks of your bravery and standing for you right was just mere rumours'

khushi curled her fingers in fist on the words of her mother in law . she ignored her words and concentrated on the book on her hand.

'tch tch.. here i thought you will have the guts of travelling to london and making your cheating husband see some sense '

'enough! not a word against my husband. i don't believe such lies' khushi screamed. she looked at her mother in law in the eyes with anger building inside her.

'i really feel sorry for you khushi. well what can i say. arnav had always been a charmer . i can't believe he has been able to control a wild cat like you so well. he leaves you here alone to drown in misery while he enjoy his life with his girlfriend and son' her word full of venom she smirked looking at khushi who just sat there trying to control her anger.

'he is not so innocent as he looks khushi. it will good if you took control of your life of your husband. throw that lady out and make your place. leave this place and move far away with him. i am saying all this for your betterment only.'

khushi ran inside to her room leaving the chair in the garden where she had been sitting for past few hours., khushi felt tears makes it way to her eyes as she laid on the bed crying her hurt out .

she sobbed hard not believing this to be true . it can be.
