Dealing With Mr.Heartbreaker

Chapter 30

Just then I hear movement from outside and then someone's voice calling my name. The person screams, "KRIYA? ARE YOU IN THERE?" I know that instant that it is Rey. I yell, "RE…" but Shivam covers my mouth and places a finger to his lips whispering, "Shhh…" I start squirming to get free from his grip and then Rey finally breaks in. Shivam aims his gun towards Rey.

Rey looks shocked and says, "Shivam just put the gun down and no one will get hurt…" Shivam growls, "Sorry Rey, you're a nice guy, but you chose the wrong girl…my girl" I wail, "REY PLEASE JUST GO HE'S GOING TO KILL YOU!" Rey shouts, "I'm not leaving you…EVER! Shivam sadistically says, "That's too bad… goodbye Rey…" I stare at the gun as Shivam is seconds away from pulling the trigger. I look back at Rey and all I can think about is how much I care about him. Regardless of our differences, I never really want him to die especially not on my account. I look back at the gun and quickly jab Shivam in his gut with my elbow, making him bend over in pain. Rey takes the chance and jumps Shivam, which sends the gun flying across the room and breaking a huge vase. This causes so much noise that many of the guests rush upstairs to see Rey and Shivam fighting. Rey continues to bash Shivam and I have to drag Rey away so that Shivam doesn't die at the hands of Rey. The security holds Shivam until the police arrive to take him away.

I curl up on the bed scared of everything that could have happened. It was a terrifying experience to be inches away from death. Rey could have died, the man I supposedly feel nothing but hatred for. The man that has given me nothing but pain and heartache, yet today I was willing to risk my own life for him. Tears spring in my eyes at the thought of Rey's death. I just feel so confused and shaken up. I don't know what to make of my reaction though… why do I care so much about Rey? Was it for humanity sake or something more? Right now, I don't have the answer to that and I dread learning it.

After the guests leave because of tonight's events, Naina Mom and Ranvijay Papa come into the room to see how I am doing. Rey is downstairs at the time, talking to the police because I'm just too shaken up to reaccount the whole story. They both come in and sit on the bed next to me. Ranvijay Papa asks, "Beta you're okay right?" I nod and he continues, "I'll make sure that Shivam rots in jail for trying to hurt my daughter." Naina Mom notices how I am zoning out because the chain of events keep replaying in my mind over and over again. Rey soon enters the room and my eyes shift over to him. Rey says, "I talked to the police, but they still need Kriya's version. I managed to put it off until she is ready to talk." Ranvijay Papa agrees and signals Rey to come closer to me. He hesitantly comes because he gets no reaction from me. Naina Mom puts a hand on my shoulder saying, "Kriya, we were going to give this to you in front of everyone at the reception and looking at your state, you really do need this." I look at her somewhat confused as she pulls out an envelope.

She hands it to me saying, "It's your honeymoon tickets to Switzerland." I look up at Rey in even more shock. She continues, "I think you both just need to forget whatever happened tonight and just go enjoy yourselves. You two just got married and it would be a nice change." Rey interrupts, "I don't think it's such a good idea. I mean whatever happened tonight really scared Kriya. Also what about the fashion house…" I couldn't believe my ears because he was actually doing this for me. It would actually help me to get away, but he was doing this because we would be alone and that's not something I want. Well at least he became a considerate human being because of that horrendous lie he told me. Ranvijay Papa brings me out of my thoughts as he says, "You two are going tomorrow night and that's final. I need my two kids to go out and have fun." Rey nods and looks at me apologetically. I give him a half smile, which catches him off guard. It also catches me off guard because I'm suppose to hate him, but I just can't seem to at the moment. Everything is still too fresh for me to forget.
