Broken Jewel

❤47❤ - His Reasons

"I know it's tough for you to listen to all this.....but please, can you give me a chance?..... A chance to explain myself?"

----------------------------------

Sona turned around and gazed at his face for a good ten minutes. She didn't speak anything to him. She gave him a blank look, with a mixture of disgust and fear. However in reality, she was genuinely afraid of his presence in the room. Managing to cover her expressions with a blank look, she inhaled a deep breath.

"Sona...please talk something. I know I have done so many wrong deeds, but don't I deserve a chance?" he softly whispered.

"You don't deserve any chance....So stop trying." She said with a firm voice.

"I will not stop trying regardless of what you say. I won't go before you hear me out. At least ask something na! Please, don't take another decision you would regret. I know you are hurt.... But you will regret lifelong if you don't know the whole truth."

"Why should I give you any chance?................. and wait... why are you suddenly asking me permission? Did you ask my permission before loving me? Did you ask permission before marrying me? Did you ask permission before sending me over here? No right? Then why now? Why?" she stared at him accusingly while a lone tear dripped down her cheeks.

"Sona, everything which happened back there was not the whole truth... of course I had made you helpless and forced you into situations. But if hadn't done that, then you would have been in a worse situation today!"

"Yea you are always right! And I am wrong..... Till this minute, you have never regretted anything you have done Mr Sharma."

"It's Dev for you!" Dev retorted.

"Not anymore. You are officer Dev Sharma! Nothing else." She looked down and weeped silently.

Dev gaped at her. For once, there were no words coming out from his mouth. He looked at her silently while she sobbed. There was no way he could explain anything to her in the given mindset. She was too reluctant to listen to anything. Convincing her was a big task.

"You hid your profession to me! You were a liar. Cheater! You are no better than Abhi.... He cheated me with Natasha while you betrayed me by faking your identity. It's not a big difference after all...... you lost all my trust the moment you gave me away like a piece of object to those guys" her shoulders shook as fat tears rolled over her cheeks.

"Yea...... I lied to you about my profession." Dev stated with a firm tone, "But no one knows it either. I am not supposed to talk about my profession to anyone! It wasn't just you... it's an order I have to follow!"

"I could have been raped!" she screamed and Dev was tongue-tied.

"Sonakshi, I tried my best to do whatever I could to save you on time. I know there were lots of risks associated with this but-"

"But you had no right to take such liberties with me. You married me! Made use of me! How can a government officer take such decisions? I CAN SUE YOUR ENTIRE TEAM FOR THIS!" her voice raised as she held an accusing finger at him.

"Ok fine..." he sighed, raising his hands in surrender. He leisurely sat on the floor and looked at her with a mixture of emotions.

"It's all my fault. Yes, I made a huge mistake. Let's rewind back the time and let me think what I should have done............ Number one, I shouldn't have fallen in love with you. The maybe, you would have been married to Abhi, and then he would have betrayed you as usual. Or else, second option..... he would have been killed by your father's men and you would have been kidnapped by the same monsters either way." he said blankly, making her stunned.
