Recap : Durga asks Sharan to marry Ishana - Sharan insults Ishana - Ishana rebukes Sharan

At midnight
Ishana's POV

Oh god! That's it. Is this a punishment for me or what? What have I ever done to deserve those words. I should have never come here in the first place. First thing tomorrow morning, I am going to talk to uncle and say that I don't want to get married to Mr.Rude.

He might get what he wants but I'll never forgive him for those words. I will make him regret them one day.

After thinking for a while I got struck and started pacing around the room.

How am I going to tell this to uncle? I should have never agreed in the first place. I need to do it without hurting him. The last time he knelt in front of me and I don't want to create such a situation again. A clean break should do but he will be so disappointed. Maybe I should just leave the house. It was never mine nor will it ever be.

I looked at both Veena and Varna who are sleeping peacefully. "I'm sorry angels but I can't think of a better thing to do. Thank you for making me feel better after I came here. All the best." I kissed their foreheads without disturbing their sleep and left the room.

Just as I was about to open the main door of the house, somebody pulled me towards the living room and switched the lights on.

I squint to adjust my eyes to the sudden light. Once I can see clearly I notice that it is Mr. Rude who has actually found me. He pushes me to the couch and starts pacing in front of me. 

"So you are trying to escape from here?" he pulls me up and holds me by my arms. Hey hello! What is this pushing and pulling? Am I some door or something? His face is so close to me now. Dangerously so. I can't find my voice when I look at his face. The entire room suddenly seems like it has been filled with his presence and I can't escape it. It has completely surrounded me.

"You were shouting and speaking whatever you want not too long ago, now where has that tongue of yours gone? Or do you want to slap me again?" he said grabbing my hand and place it on his cheek.

"Did you take an oath to not talk ever again?"
That might just be heavenly? I want to start arguing but remember the purpose of the whole thing. No need to argue when I'm leaving. Who knows the argument might just wake someone up.

"I want to leave" I said in a calm tone with as much finality as I can muster, which is a lot considering the previous discussion.

"Go to your room and sleep" he speaks each of the word clearly, like he was talking to a kid but he was way more angry than one should be when talking to one. Not that she was a kid. Well, let's not get side tracked shall we.

"No. I want to leave. I don't want to be a burden to anybody."

"Did I ask you to leave?" he asked in a normal voice which gave me the courage to speak out.

"No. But I'm leaving according to your wishes only," I added in a sickly sweet voice." If I stay here I don't know how to say no to your father moreover why it would not be good for your sisters to be in the company of a woman such as me." I couldn't resist the bitterness from seeping into my voice.

He clenches his fist and drops the facade of 'normal'. The anger he usually carries comes back into his eyes and for a second I wonder if he wants to kill me?
