Abandoned wife

Chapter 7

"I am coming." Akshay said and cut the call.
Its Monday the day decided by him to pickup them. Smita doesn't want to go with him so does Akshita . The family court gave them a chance to reconcile but both of them knew there is no chance for  reconciliation . Things are beyond repaired between them and weightage of sour memories is more than the sweet one.
Last few years she tried her level best to mend things. She wanted to secure atleast one relationship. If things doesn't work  with her. She wanted to mend  relationship between father daughter duo. She promised her daughter for the same but he gave no attention. His ways in court and outside court is demonic .His open threats to harm her, abduction of Akshita left bitter memory in her mind. Thoughts of living with him under one roof gave shivers to her . Her heart shudders. She wants to cry but didn't. Its no use,living with him for six months is inevitable.
She put last few things in bag and jip lock it.

"I don't want to go." Akshita said in frightened voice. She looked towards her, there is confusion, misery, and fear of unknown is present on her face. She is afraid of him after the courtroom incident. 'She is unwanted for her father' mesaage engraved in her conscious after courtroom fiasco. This sight of her break Smita's heart again and again.Sometimes she regrets for even filing divorce.

She hugs her daughter tightly "we'll be alright there. I am with you Shona. Don't be afraid." she said, caressing her back. The holded tears falls from her eyes. The continues horn from outside bring them back to hard hitting reality.
She looked her house one last time before leaving. Seven years ago she left this house with him and get nothing but heartbreak in return. She was so happy to start a new life with him. She had thousands of dreams for upcoming future. She dreamt to age with him. Her bubble of happily ever after burst one day and she left with nothing but broken pieces of her shattered dreams.
"I won't fall for you this time." she resolved internally. She locked the house and turns around. His car is parked in front of her house. He is leaning on his car, posing perfectly for a magazine. His one feet is on ground and other is slightly bend on door of car. . He wore  sky blue v neck shirt which is perfectly fit to his chiseled body. His biceps are clearly visible in  half sleeves of t shirt. His hairs were gelled and combed to a side. Freshly grown and trimmed beard gave a fine dimension to his sharp jawline . His hypnotic eyes were hided behind black shades. He felt her gaze and looked towards her. She wore loosely fit cream coloured cotton kurta paired with white salwar and multie coloured dupatta.
"Fashion disaster" immediately came out from his mouth.
His brown eyes met with her blue one. There is a winning smirk on his face which disgusted her. She  averted her gaze .
"You are checking out him, Smita . What's wrong with you." she moves her head in disappointment.
His eyes stuck on the small figure clinging to Smita. His daughter dressed in white frill frock with matching socks and pink shoes. She is so beautiful  like an angel. His lips automatically twitched in a smile. A warm genuine smile which didn't came from pain of others. He moved towards her to take her in his arms. She noticed his movement and hide behind her mother. It break his heart but he can't blame her. Their first meeting was horrible. It didn't happened in best circumstances and his first impression is very bad.

"I'll change it." he resolved.

"Hello, little one" he greets his daughter and get silence in return. She didn't budge from her place.She holds her mother more tightly. Smita shoot daggers from her eyes. There pure hatred in her. Her features were stiffened, clearly indicating she doesn't like his presence a bit.

"She is not comfortable with the idea of meeting new people." She said to ease the situation for her child.

"Okay" he said in acknowledgment.

He sat in the driving seat of his gold  porsche. He press on the horn to sign them to hurry up. Smita opened the the door and sat on the passenger seat. Akshita sat in her lap watching the interior of the car in fascination. The golden and black combination is very eye catchy, no doubt his girl is attracted to it. She touched the cool leather of seat then check out the music system. Other things are not much interest to her. Contrast to her Smita was looking outside, completely ignoring him.
