Only Thing I want is LOVE

CHAPTER 11

KABIR PROV

I kept all my thoughts on side and kept my eyes and ears open for Riya. She was hell scared of something or someone, I don't know but I can sense that fear. She was about to move away from me, but I caught her. I didn't feel like letting her go in such bad condition. She looked at me with shock. I said

Me: It's ok Riya. Say whatever you want to say.

Riya: I was...... working in kitchen. Suddenly someone pulled me behind from my hair and asked me angrily about my utensil cleaning which was not done properly. I said sorry many times but they didn't listen to me. They bought a belt and.....beat me. I asked them to not beat me, but they didn't listen. Then you woke me up.

I lifted her face and rubbed her tears. I took her in my arms softly and said.

Me: Don't worry Riya. It's just a dream. No one will hit you, I am there for you here. Now sleep. (I patted her back slowly so that she can go back to sleep. In all this, I had more questions to add. "From when is she having these nightmare???? Who are "they" and "them" she is referring to??? And why she gets these nightmares?????" I just want answers to all these. I didn't realize when I slept but I was sleeping in peace after a long time, as if a lost kid finds his home after a long time.)

Next day morning, I woke up with a peaceful smile. I felt I woke up after ages. I turned towards the other side and saw it empty. Riya is always early up. I refreshed myself and went to gym. After gym, I had my bath and went down for breakfast. I saw Riya with Bhabhi. I wonder how they became so close in such a short time. They were talking or I should say Bhabhi was talking and Riya was listening.

RIYA PROV

I woke up as usual early morning, but today my morning was different. I felt fresh, happy and reborn. I turned to my right to see Kabir sleeping peacefully. When I saw him, yesterday night events played in my mind. I had a small tear in my eyes. I know that he didn't do it out of love, but he did out of humanity. I was still happy because he said one thing yesterday which I wanted to hear from a very long time. "I am there for you here." I was happy that he said that. I wanted to thank him, but when he comes in front of me I am not able to speak a word. I have to do it anyhow.

I got up from bed, did my daily routine and went down to garden to take my daily stroll. After a while, Rihanna Bhabhi called me and soon our daily gossip starts. I wonder where Bhabhi gets all these gossips. While I was with Bhabhi, I saw Kabir was coming down for breakfast. He was wearing a simple white shirt and blue jeans. He looked extremely handsome. I wanted to say thank you for yesterday night, but I have to get him alone for that.

We all sat on our chairs for breakfast, but something happened there which made me shock, nervous and happy at the same time.

Kabir: Bhabhi, if you don't mind can I sit next to Riya????? (I was very happy when he said that, but my question is why did he say that when he does not want to see my face????)

He sat next to me on dining table. Hundreds of butterflies were floating in my stomach. I wanted to eat but he was sitting next to me that thought itself made my stomach full. I was satisfied. I didn't want anything more in my life. I was very happy today. I rubbed my tears which I had in my eyes before anyone sees it.

KABIR PROV

After breakfast, I sat with Mirza Bhai and Dad. I saw the chess board in front of me. Suddenly I went to my childhood when dad and I used to play chess. How much ever my dad was busy, every Sunday he used to spent time with family. We were always his priority. Soon we started our game, but I was not concentrating on the game today. My mind was running yesterday night and today breakfast table event in my mind again and again. Yesterday night, I saw a very different Riya, who was vulnerable or maybe she is that vulnerable???? Don't know. After yesterday night, I didn't want to leave her alone or make her feel alone. So I sat next to her on the dining table. Everyone had a surprised expression on their face, but it was a happy surprised face. We all started our breakfast and I saw Riya was not eating properly. I was again worried and wanted to ask her how is she, but when I turned, I saw that she was wiping tears and had a smile on her face. That was the first time I saw her smiling. That smile was so innocent and beautiful. Suddenly I heard my name.

Dad: Kabir

Me: Yes dad

Dad: Where are you lost????

Me: Sorry (I am going mad because of Riya)

Dad: Anyways, I wanted to say that I saw how you sat next to Riya on breakfast table. I am happy for you. At least you have started treating her like a person now. Good improvement.

Me: You were Right. Whatever you see in front of your eyes is not the truth. You need to give time to judge someone even if it's against your mind.

Dad: Good to know that you remember my lessons.

We all spent our day by chatting, playing chess and watching movie. By evening, Mirza Bhai was off to airport. Bhabhi had tears in her eyes, it's but obvious after all she was going to miss him very badly for next 3 months. We all see offed him. Bhabhi was hugging Riya and crying. Riya hugged her lovingly and let her cry. After his flight took off, we came back home. We had our dinner and went to our rooms.

As I entered my room, I saw Riya was walking through and fro. She stopped when she saw me. I was about to ask her what happened, but she said.

Riya: Thank you

Me: For????

Riya: For yesterday night, I know it is not easy for you to tolerate me in your life but still you helped me and showed your care for me. It's not easy for any man to do it for a woman who he hates the most. That's why THANK YOU SO MUCH. (And went to washroom to change.)

My thought on her "Is she for real???? She say thank you and sorry for every single thing, even though it was not her mistake at all. The more I try to know about her, the more I get confused. Tomorrow morning I will get all my answers. Shanti Tai has to answer my questions anyhow. One more important question "Do I really hate her???? Because when you hate someone you ignore that person and you brain and heart agree to it. But here, nor my brain or heart is agreeing with me nor I am able to ignore her. In fact, I am pulled towards her every single time like a moth is attracted to fire."

Anyways, just sleep for now and tomorrow let's see what's in the stores for me.
