Redemption

72

As the bullets were shove against the back of the head of that old person. I feel my legs buckling. My twins let out a cry too scared of the gun. Everybody blinked, but not Aryan and Randhir.

Randhir. Oh no.

I just want to run to him and take him far far away from here.

I saw him eyeing the lifeless body sprawled on the floor just beside my feet. The dark red liquid that flood around my feet. I almost choke and I flinched.

On no.

They all got a hot again but this time nobody cried. Maybe they all are in too much shock to feel the pain of strike. Sana almost look like she is about to faint.

Suddenly the room smell like death. Silence. Collecting the courage I look up at Randhir eyes again. The unshed tears remain in his eyes as he stared undisturbed as the lifeless body.

"James. " Aryan voice booms in the silent room and the kids flinched. "If you can't do what I say then I suggest you leave the room."

Oh no no no. James no.

I heard something falling down and then some footsteps going away from me. The door opened and then slammed shut.

Oh God.

Aryan make his way towards me. I saw uncle and aunt looking away from me while the kids look up at me with alertness in their eyes. Randhir have his fist balled and his breathing was harsh.

"Our baby would be few years older than them." He mumbled when he was too close to me. "If I would have left him alive.' He chuckled.

That's it. The hit last nerve he could ever hit.

"You bloody coward. " the hatred in my voice stunned me too. I look up straight in the eyes of the devil. His cold eyes turn glinty in amusement.

"I like you like this." He ran his finger in my hair and I turn away. Then he gripped my hair hard in his fist and make me look at him. Too close.

"I was the first one to touch this." He ran his other hand down my body. " and I would be the last one too." He bring his hand up to my jaw.

This!

"Don't you remember how much happy we were , sanyukta? When we used to love each other or fight with each other. It's all was so good. We were so happy together. " he smile as his own joke.

"I was never happy with you. I was suffocated. You ruined me." I gritted my teeth but he pulled my hair with more force.

"It was all so good until he decided to come." I look into his eyes confused.

His eyes were cold. He is not talking to me. He was not at all talking to me. He is telling this all to himself. He is in his own world where he is justifying his acts.

"I used to wonder every night if he us touching what's mine. " he ran his finger down my arm. " I used to wonder if he is getting the love that I want." The hand loosen the hold on my hair while the lightly massaged the hair he was pulling. "I used to wonder if he is making you scream more than I did." He leaned in and his hand hold me in place. " I used to wonder if you are making love with him like we used to make." His nose touched mine and I flinched back.

Lies. Lies. Lies.

Why is behaving like he loved me? I know he never did.

Then Aryan gave a side glance at Randhir and smirked lightly.

And that moment it dawned on me. Why the hell I didn't realise it earlier? How can I be so stupid?

This game was not about me.

This game was never about me.

This game is all about him.

This game is only for Randhir.

Thank you so much.
