Tangled

Chapter 25

" What conditions?" Jellal asked as his eyes bore into mine. " First of all, after my divorce I will give my child to Arish. Till the time of the delivery as you have no intention of letting me go. You shall be responsible for every thing I and my child require. From proper food to clothes and basic necessities. Secondly, after we get married take me far away from all of them. To a place where is no sign of Arish or his family. "

He came close and sat beside me as he cupped my face making me want to shove him away. " Are you serious?" He asked ever so serious. I removed his hands and moved away. " I am, until you accept my conditions." I stated .

"I do." He said as if every wish he wished for came true. " But there is one condition I have too." He said. I nodded signalling him to go on.

" The child will be given to Arish after you marry me not before." He spoke making me take a deep breath.

I nodded, it felt like I was cheating on him. Cheating on Arish. But what I feel doesn't matter at the moment.

" Do you need anything before we go?" Jellal said. I simply shook my head. " Where are we going?" I asked as I sat on the bed looking at the packed bags. " To my hometown. They will take good care of you there." He replied as he carried the bags and left.

I placed my hand on my abdomen. " So dear, this is our first trip together." I smiled. I won't be able to have these with you after you are born so let me enjoy these months I have with you.

"Jana?" Jellal called making me look his way. " It's time to leave." He stated and I got up. As we exited the house I remembered how I tried to run but every time he got me. As if it was no escaping him.

" Jellal?" He turned to face me. " I want to run from here." I said as I looked at the sky. I always wanted to be free. And yet I never will. He came close wiped the tear that fell down my cheek. " Get inside the car." He spoke ever so politely.

I sat inside quietly as the car started to move. " Can I ask you something ?" I asked looking outside the window. " Sure." He replied.

" I never understand one thing. Am I the villain of your life or you are supposed to be the villain in my life?" He looked towards me and then back at the road.

" You aren't the villain of my life. You are the reason of my existence. But it seems like I am the villain of your life." He answered.

I shook my head and sank in my chair. " I did this to myself. I was shocked when I found you kidnapped me. Like weren't you the shy one?" I laughed.

" Times change. Alot happened in two years. " He said. " What happened? " I asked.

" Nothing of that much importance. My life turned around. In many ways I never thought it would. Though I lost great things in between." He spoke so casually about it.

" I'm sorry." I whispered. The rest of the ride went silent. " We have to get your ultrasound done right?" He asked and I nodded. "Okay! So Can I take you to a family doctor?" He asked and I nodded again.

He took a sharp turn and after sometime we arrived at a hospital. He spoke with the doctor and they called me for my ultrasound. " I want to go inside alone please." I said to Jellal and he nodded.

I went inside and laid on the bed. The doctor came in with a smile. " How many months ?"  She asked. " Two." I replied.

" I didn't know Jellal married you. He talked about you everywhere. The whole town knows about you. Such a beautiful soul you are dear." She kept going on and on. I closed my eyes.
