Getting dressed I grabbed the hodni (scarf) as a mere source to cover my shame, he pulled me out of the room. With the pain all over my body especially the lower body, I wasn't able to walk; matching his speed was out of the question.
I pleaded wit...
I started writing this chapter at 8:30 pm so please forgive me if it's not as per your expectations. Thank you guys for requesting updates. It makes me feel good.
Third Person's POV
Not only life is unpredictable but even every moment is unpredictable. The girl who was happily talking with someone on her mobile is now lying on the bed crying in pain and her mobile is on one end of the bed.
The impact of Nahush's punch on Mallika's face was so strong that she started crying like a small baby who must have gotten hurt and the force, he was holding her jaw was increasing her pain. With both hands, she tried to remove his hand from her face but it was of no use. Holding her jaw he made her get off the bed and pushed her on the floor. Falling on her right, she supported herself by her hands by falling on her face. Holding her left side face she turned while crying to see Nahush approaching her. His face radiated his anger but she couldn't deny how handsome he looked with his misplaced hair, trimmed beard, sharp eyes, naturally pink lips, broad shoulders, and masculine chest.

Nahush Mhatre (I've chosen him as Nahush. For Mallika, imagine whoever you want to imagine. I hope you like the person I've chosen as Nahush.)
Have you lost your mind, Malli? That devil of your husband is hitting you and in this situation, you're adoring his looks! Her subconscious mind reminded her of getting her out of her 'Oh, how handsome my husband is' world. "Wh-what happ-happen?" she asked trembling. Her eyes held fear. Fear of getting hit again which soon happened. "What happened?" he shouted and with the back of his hand, he slapped her on her right cheek with great force resulting in her falling on the floor again. Sitting on his right knee he grabbed her hair tied in a ponytail and brought her near his face.
"The audacity of you to ask me what happened after talking to your loverboys and expressing your love in my room right on my bed. How disgusting you can be!" he said with gritted teeth. Anger, sadness, and pain were all he was feeling. Even though he hated her but which man would like to listen to love-filled words from his wife for some other men? His heart pained more because he still liked her. That's when Mallika understood the reason for his anger. She pushed him with force making him stumble. Taking this chance she crawled back as fast as she could but the fear was making it difficult. Taking the bed's support, she stood up. "How dare you push me!" he shouted with anger and marched towards her. You'll die at his hands, Mallika, run! And she climbed the bed with her trembling legs. Getting on the bed she said, "Stop! Please listen to me." She pleaded.
"Listen to what, Mallika? Listen to your excuses?" he said and climbed the bed. Before he could catch her, she jumped down the bed and ran towards a corner of the room. He too jumped off the bed and started to walk towards her and she again ran to another corner of the room. Mallika ran and Nahush chased her, this process happened for almost a minute. It was like they were playing pakda-pakdi (catch-catch) in the middle of the night in the middle of their fight. He could easily catch her but didn't just to increase her fear. When she was about to open the washroom door, he grabbed her arm and pinned her to the wall.
"You think you could escape me, huh?" he asked calmly in a slow voice. His husky calm voice made her shiver down her spine. "Stop it, please. Please listen to me once." She requested. Her tears glisten eyes soften his angry eyes making him give her a chance. "Bol kai bolaicha ahe (Say what you have to say.)" he said, slightly loosening his grip on her arms but didn't reduce the distance between them.
"You saw me talking to my lovers on my phone, right?" she questioned and continued, "Why don't you look at my phone and see my lovers with your own eyes?" Giving a glance at her, he went toward the bed and searched for her mobile and found it lying on the edge of the bed. Holding her mobile he asked without looking at her, "Password?" he typed the password told by her and was shocked to see the thing appeared on her phone as soon as her phone was unlocked. An image of some Korean boys appeared on the screen. He slides the images to see all the photos of Korean boys only.
"These photos are of my favorite boy group EXO and BTS. They are the ones I was talking to and expressing my love for them. If you have forgotten then let me remind you that I have told you about them on her first meeting itself." He was not able to believe it. Is she for real? He thought. He opened her call logs and saw her last call was in the evening with her mother. Still not believing it, he opened her WhatsApp and checked her recent messages and found them to be unread and then checked her video calls to find none.
"If you think I could have manipulated my phone then there's no chance for doing that as you started hitting me as soon as you entered the room." She said, folding her hands across her chest whereas he just kept looking at her in shock and amusement. "I hope whatever crazy thoughts you had about how disgusting I am must have cleared. And I hope next time you will do a check before hovering over me." She said, wiping her tears. Receiving no answer from Nahush, she continued, "Next time don't even try to hit me because I'm not the kind of wife who would bear all the abuse done by her husband silently. I'm not a weak wife." Saying this she left and room holding her painful cheeks.
She walked down to the kitchen weeping. She needed some ice cubes to place on her cheeks. How could he act without thinking, without doing a check when he is a businessman? She wondered. Seems like businessmen act stupid when it's about their wives. With her shivering body, she reached the kitchen door and was about to on the light when she heard someone say, "Yes baby, you know how much I love you, don't you" a voice said from inside the kitchen.
"You are the only one I think of while doing everything... Yes, baby, I dream of only you, in fact, I have only wild dreams of you." Said a voice seductively. It seemed like the person was talking on the phone and she recognised the owner of the voice and a giggle passed her mouth involuntarily.
"Bye sweetheart, goodnight." Taking this as a clue she switched on the kitchen light making the person fling in fear. Adjusting with the light the person looked at Mallika and said, "Vahini, tumhi (you)!" "Ho Bhauji (brother-in-law)," Mallika said with a sweet smile.
