Meher's POV
We walked into Persis's 4BHK sea facing house. I still can't believe that we are married. Just a few hours back i was dreading a life without Persis and now i have his ring on my finger. My best friend Sherry and her husband and Persis's childhood buddy Ray were there to sign for our wedding. We are husband and wife. I think it will take me sometime to accept that this is not a dream.
Persis is pulling me into his bedroom. Our bedroom. As i walked in, he shut the door behind us. I can hear the click of the lock. I am nervous. I haven't touched him in eight months. I have butterflies in my stomach.I can feel him walking towards me but I can't seem to face him. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. I am already missing his beautiful face. I turn around to find myself all alone in the room.
Water is running in the bathroom. I chuckle as i pick my dress and settle on the bed eagerly waiting for Persis to come out. I miss kissing his beautiful mouth.
What seemed like ages, the bathroom door opened. Persis had a towel wrapped around his torso. His silky dark black hair dripped of water. He was stunning. i couldn't help but stare at his abs.
"Like what you see?" he teased catching me ogling at his body.
I hid my face with my palms.
"nothing that you haven't seen baby" he teased again
"shhhhh.....are you dressed yet?" as soon as i said that, he caught my wrists and moved my hand from my face.
I gulped as i saw his torso right in front of my face. I looked up straight into his eyes. The notorious teasing eyes were replaced with cold ones. I was confused.
"what are you doing in my room?" he asked with no emotion in his voice
I raised an eyebrow in confusion. "Persis.....are you bipolar? we just got married and you just pulled me here yourself. why are you looking at me like that?"
"Like what?" he said with a smirk
I frowned "Like you .....like you still hate me." i whispered the last part. He had said he hated to see my face when he broke up with me eight months ago.
"I do baby.....I hate your face and I hate your gut."
I stared at him in disbelief. What was wrong with him? He was my Persis a few minutes back and all of a sudden he says he hates me? I don't recognize this man with cold eyes in front of me anymore.
"what makes you think i will forgive your father and forget you are that devils daughter in no time? He ruined our lives. My father is paralyzed. A self made man is dependent for life now. Thanks to your Dad, Mrs Persis Shroff." He mocked.
Mrs Persis Shroff. He hates me yet he married me. why? I stood up from the bed with a lot of courage.
"why did you marry me?" I inquired with a quivering voice, tears threatening to flow out from my deep blue eyes.
Persis stepped closer to me, while touching my cheek with his index finger, sending shivers through my entire body. He was touching me but there was no love. It felt foreign and i knew there is something wrong. This can't be happening.
he said in a deep etheral voice "because you are mine and i don't share what's mine." He sounded serious. All the mockery from his voice had vanished.
"but..."I closed my eyes and took a deep breath before speaking again.
"do you still love me?" this was a question I dreaded asking. I couldn't bare another heartbreak.
"NO" Persis said in a crisp voice almost immediately, before leaving the room.
Tears flowed out freely as my dam broke. It felt like my heart had literally broken. It scattered my soul. My knees went weak as I fell on the ground and lay down in a ball while I cried my heart out, until I was out of breath. I either passed out or just fell asleep of exhaustion. None of it mattered anymore. I had no idea what to do with my life. It was all over. He did not love me. I don't think i can pull myself again yet another time. I am exhausted.
