KABIR PROV

I got very early today or I should say I could not sleep at night. I saw my phone it was 4:30 am. I was quite anxious as if time is testing me. It was so slow. I turned towards the other side and saw Riya sleeping with a signature dead body position and fear on her face. I have heard somewhere that people who have some kind of stress, fear and nightmare, they usually sleep in one position because their body is still under that pressure. Maybe I should have made her sleep in my arms. She slept like a baby yesterday. I saw her facial feature for the first time. I actually noticed her for the first time. Her face is round shape and her skin is dusky. She had a small forehead, lustrous and thick black hair which she always braids. It reaches up to her hip. Her eyes wear of almond shape not so sharp but soft and simple. She had a small nose and small but soft pink lips. I wonder how it would......... what the hell am I thinking about her???? But still I had a smile on my face with the thought of kissing her. I think I am attracted towards her but I have no reason why. I don't have enough patience left. I woke up and went to bathroom and got ready in 15 mins. I went down I asked Afridi to make some tea and bread toast jam. I have no mood to eat but if I leave without eating mom will kill me for sure. She hates her children going empty stomach from home. While having breakfast I called Rashid and asked for the hospital and patient details. Shanti Tai's husband name is Ram Lal Mishra. He was a worker in construction sight. He had an accident and from then he is in hospital its almost 6 months now. I speed up my car to hospital and had reached there by 7:30 am. Visiting hours starts from 8:30 am. Great!!!! (Note the sarcasm) I have to wait for an hour. I sat in the car but my thoughts went back to the early morning incident. I was thinking about Riya, her features, her innocents, her fear. I have never seen her smiling. I suddenly remembered her small suit case which she had bought with her, it's strange. When Rihanna Bhabhi had come, she had 5 big suitcases only for cloths and Riya had just one that too small.

Suddenly my thought broke when I heard an ambulance going inside the gate and I also saw a lady going inside the hospital who looked exactly the way she looked in the picture that Rashid had sent me. It's Shanti Tai. I got down from the car and followed her before she could get away from my sight. I saw her going towards the general ward. I followed her and reached to see that she was talking to her husband about his health. I stood there for some time. After a while, the nurse told her to go as visiting hours are done. She came out and I called her.

Me: Shanti Tai (She turned and saw me. She had a shock on her face as if she recognized me.)

Shanti Tai: Kabir Baba, you and that to here????

Me: I have no time to waste Shanti Tai. I need to talk. Come with me. (She walked with without asking any question as if she expected me to come to her to solve my quires. I reached near my car and asked her to enter. She entered in front seat and I sat on driver's seat. I was about to ask her some questions when I saw her smiling at me. I asked) Why are you smiling?????

Shanti Tai: Because I knew that one day you will come to me and ask about Riya. (Now it was my time to get shock) I was waiting for that day. I thought you would be late but you came very early that shows that you are the perfect guy for Riya who understands her, who would be there for her and most important who would love her with all his heart.

Me: I don't love......

Shanti Tai: Don't worry Kabir Baba, that day will also come. Riya has a heart of gold and when someone knows her, they can't stop loving her.

I saw Riya for the first time when she was 3 years old. That time Bade Shahab's mother was taking care of her. Sheetal Madam was never good to her and also Bade Shahab but his mother was an iron lady. She would always stand for Riya but when Riya was 10, she passed away and she was all alone in this world. Sheetal Madam stopped her from going to school and she used to do all the household work daily. She is always get up before everyone and sleeps after everyone sleeps. Riya has always craved for Bade Shahab's attention. She always used to see how he played with Piya and carried her lovingly. She always craved for that love but she never got that.

Once she saw Bade Shahab bought cloths for Piya and was hiding behind the kitchen door and watching them. Suddenly Madam saw her and went towards her angrily. She said.

Sheetal madam: What are you doing here???? Eyeing my daughter, devil. Come here (and pulled her ears and took her where Bade Shahab was sitting with Piya.) See, this girl was not working and looking at our daughter as if she will kill her.

Bade Shahab got up and slapped her and told her to get lost and pushed her. She came inside the kitchen crying. I wiped her tears and hugged her till she became normal. She was always insulted in front of everyone, no cared for her no one loved her. Every day she used to talk to her mother's photo and cry.

Kabir Baba not just insults and shouting but even she is been beaten till her skin turned blue. Even today there are belt, hot steal spoon and wooden sticks marks on her whole body. In short, she never had a childhood. I know what happened on wedding day between you all, but as usual I could not say anything as I am just a servant. But Kabir Baba, what I said to you is not even ¼ of her past. You will have to dig out from Riya.

Then Shanti Tai folded her hands in front of me. She said

Me: Baba, she is a very nice girl. Please don't leave her for any other girl. They will not accept her back and plus she will have nothing in her life. (In all this time I didn't say a word. I was just analyzing everything.)

I kept her hands down and told her to take care of herself and her husband and if she needs anything then call me on my personal number. She nodded and got down from the car. I drove back home. I wanted to breathe. Means the letter which Piya was actual truth. They actually hit her, trouble her, harass her and I fell for a women who used to do all these wrong doings. Dad was right "Trust is good, but Blind Trust is harmful". I blind trusted Piya and married an innocent girl who knew nothing. I felt so bad so worthless about myself. I had tears in my eyes. But suddenly I remembered Riya's face and said to myself.

Me: Stop crying, it's time for making everything right for you, for her and for us. I am not letting her go anywhere. I have to be the husband, she dreams of. I will do everything to get her trust on me. I will treat her like a wife. From now on we are husband and wife Riya. I won't let you down. All these days, I thought you as nothing but from now on you are my wife, my life. Your pain and sorrows are mine and my happiness is yours. I made a call immediately.

Me: Rashid

Rashid: Yes Boss

Me: Make sure that I get Piya as soon as possible.

Rashid: Yes Boss

Me: And make sure keep an eye on Sheetal Sharma's business. I want to know her business details and other things related to it.

Rashid: Yes Boss. (And he kept his phone down)

Me: It's time to repay Sharma Family. I will make sure that you all cry blood tears. All these years Riya suffered, it's your turn now.

I KNOW I AM LATE BUT I WAS VERY BUSY. SORRY GUYS BUT NOW I HAVE UPDATED SO ENJOY.
