Mahi's p.o.v...

"Are you telling me or not?"I asked him being irritated.. it was an hour since he is driving and still I don't know where we are going and this beast is not answering me...

"Wait a bit" ... He answered without looking at me..

"It's been an hour, please tell me na" ... I requested because I really wanna know...He looked towards me and continued driving his car..

My phone started ringing... I looked down and an smile automatically came on my face..

"Hello sweetheart" ..... as soon as I picked the phone his cheerful voice rang in my ears ..

"Ree, how are you? You are fine na, have you joined your company? Why are you not picking my calls? I was so worried, I thought you are not happy..." I was cuted in middle by his laughter...

"Why are you laughing?.."

"Oh, dii you are so cute... And about your questions, first I am fine.. second I am not depressed and third I went on a adventure trip in Arizona.. that's why".. he answered...

"Oh , okay"..I sighted this boy he loves adventure.

" I have a good news for you" he said in an exciting tone.. I smiled at his childish behavior..

"What?"

"I am coming to India" .. my smile died down.. my heart beat pricked ..

"Why?" The word slipped from my mouth..

"You don't want me to come there" ... He asked in a sad tone..

"No, nothing like that.. I mean why so suddenly? I mean is everything fine?"

"Yes, everything his fine.. I have to complete my first project with a big hotelier of India.. he is very important client dii, I hope everything turns out well.. you will help me na?" He asked me with so much hope in his voice..

"Yes, why not I am always there for you" ...I assured him..

"Thanks dii, we will explore India together and when we came back to US we are going to rock it"...I can imagine him jumping excitedly..I laughed at his words...

"Okk, di now I am going my trainer is calling"...he said hurriedly..

"Okay by. Take care.."

"You too my sweetheart"...he hung up..I was just looking outside knowing very well that two blue fireballs are fixed on me...

"Who is ree?" He asked directly looking into my eyes..his eyes were full of jealousy and anger...the two emotions which you can read.. otherwise he was an emotionless beast..

"My friend" ...I answered really interested..

"Friend or boyfriend" ...he chuckled humorlessly.

"I had never interfered in your personal life. So I expect the same for you"...I said in a sternly because I really don't want my life to be his concern..

"You are my wife..I can interfere in your life"...he calmly replied but his face was hard..

"Wife, oh as much as I remember I was no I am a slut, manifesto...bit..."

"Shut up"..he shouted..

"Why your words are too heavy to hear yourself but while saying them you are very confident...I will not tolerate such behavior aditya I am your wife not your slave stop treating me like one"... I was just tired of his controlling behavior..his gripp on steering wheel tightened...

I was scared what I will say to ree..how will he react..I never told him about my marriage...he still thinks I am in india because of some personal issues..

"Out"..his voice broke my chain of thoughts..I looked outside to see we are standing in front of a two story house..it was small but cute...and surrounded by trees and beautiful flowers..

"Come out my highness" ...he said opening the door..his voice was straight with no trait of mockery in it..

I stepped out it was really a very beautiful place...

He rung the bell... after sometime an old lady opened it but as soon as she saw us standing...her face turned into big smile..

"Aditya" ..she hugged him excitedly..what suprise me was beast also hugged her with the same beautiful smile..

"Aunt Lisa, how are you?" He asked her..but a voice disturbed them..

"Who is there?" A man in his mid sixties came there but as soon as he saw us his face light up...

"Uncle mathew" he greeted him with a hug...

"She is mahi na? I waited so long to meet her..she is so beautiful"...aunt Lisa hugged me..I hugged her back and smiled..they are looking so sweet...

"You are right Lisa she is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen"...uncle mathew said and caressed my head affectionately..

"I will tell you who is the most beautiful girl later"...Lisa aunty said glaring at uncle... everyone laughed at their cuteness...

"Wouldn't you let us come inside?"My dear husband asked them..

"No, you stand outside we are taking mahi with us"...aunty said to which he made a sad face..

"Don't be upset when your uncle is here..come"..uncle told her and he smiled at him..

"I don't need permission to enter my own house"...he said and walked like a king..I frowned..

"He is like this only" ..aunty said and laughed..we both entered inside..there house was really cozy and giving a homely feeling...I also want a life like this..in a small house with my husband , my babies..

We all settled in the living room...but I notice uncle was looking at me, trying to find something...

Aunty brought snacks and many things according to his liking..I had never saw him this free with anyone..this time it was not a cruel buisness sitting but a person who is longing for love and care..

"Oh, we forgot to introduce to our son Bruno"...aunt Lisa hit her head dramatically..but what type of name it is Bruno...

"Bruno, Bruno look who is there to meet you"...uncle shouted looking at the stairs..I also looked towards the stairs..but my eyes popped out looking at their sweet Bruno...he came down jumping and slipping the stairs...

"DOGGY...adi doggy" ...I shouted and ran towards him and hided behind him..

Did I told you I am very afraid of doggies..once when I was small a dog ran behind me, he made in run in the whole garden. Later I come to know he was not running behind me, he was running for the packet of chips in my hand...from that day I made a mental note 'beware of dogs'

"Mahi he is not a street dog.. don't be scared"...he said and tried to free himself..

"No adi, doggy is doggy. Doesn't matter street or house"..I was hell admant...

"Child he won't bite you, don't be scared"..uncle assured me..

"No, he will bite me..adi please" ...i was on verge of crying...

"Mahi..he will not do anything look I am here na"...he pulled me in his arms...I was very terrified by the big brown German shepherd..

"Okk, my dear look I am holding him..now come out"...aunt said and pulled the doggie towards her...

"Bruno be a good boy for mumma and sit here"...and that doggie, no Bruno obeyed her mother, no aunt Lisa..I detached myself from him realising what I am doing...

"He won't harm anyone...he is good boy..right Bruno?" Uncle asked him and in reply he barked..

"Hey, dude how have you been?"He ruffled his hairs and in answer he licked his arms...eww

"Come let's have lunch" ...aunt said motioning us towards dinning area..

I walked holding his arm... because I can't trust this Bruno doggy...

"Are you going to cling like this whole day?" He asked being annoyed...

"Yes, I don't want to apply fourteen injection after he will bite me"...I said glaring at him...

"Fourteen injections" ...he laughed..I narrowed my eyes..

"What? Why are you laughing?"

"Kitty now a days.. only one injection do the work instead of your fourteen"...he mocked at me..I was an idiot to ask him for help..

"Now come if you don't want Bruno to have you as his lunch..by the way he loves to eat cats"...I glared at him...

"You want Bruno to eat me" ...I asked him angrily..

"No , i won't give you to anyone because you are mine to eat" ..he whispered in my ears...my eyes became wide hearing his words...

"Child where are you both?"Aunty's voice rang in my ears..

"Coming aunt" ..he said and dragged me along with him...

Whole lunch passed with little chit chat...I came to know he met uncle mathew three years back... They have no child so they treated him like their son...he also treated them as his own parents...I can see in his eyes, which are full of affection for them...

"So, mahi what about your parents? I mean from where you are...?" Uncle asked me his question starled me at my place...I gulped and looked up to see he was waiting for my answer...

"Umm..I don't have anyone...I..am._an.or..orphan"...i answered and blinked to remove the moisture from my eyes...I looked at him who was looking at me with an unknown emotion or guilt..I say.

"Oh, we are sorry child" ...uncle apologized looking guilty...I shooked my head..

"No need to apologise uncle, it's not your fault and now I am not a orphan I have very sweet mumma-papa and a brother who loves me very much"...I smiled at their mention..I know how much they love me especially dad..

"Yes, you have us all...and no one is orphan in this world we all have our God with us..who loves us more than anyone"...aunty said with a gentle smile..

After dinner uncle called him to talk something in private..he went along with them..me and aunt both were seating on the couch talking randomly...and here comes the devil..not my husband but that browny doggy..I crawled on my seat...

"Don't worry mahi he will not do anything"..aunty assured me..I just smiled at her...

"Look just cares his head lovingly like this..he will become your friend"..aunty said carresing his head...

"No, no aunty I am fine" ...I denied their offer politely..

"No just try it once..he will not do anything.".she said and placed my hand on his head... despite my heavy protest..I caressed his head lovingly but being scared to lose my hand..what if he will bite me...

He was just looking ate with his doe eyes cutely...I also felt an ease after seeing her reaction...I stepped closer to him he jumped on me catching me offguard...but I got a hold of him and smiled ruffling his brown hairs..they are soft..he is handsome doggy.. means he will not bite me..

"Look, now you both become friends.." aunty said clapping her hand..I just smiled at her..we three are playing..I heard footsteps coming towards us..

They both appear and looked shocked to see Bruno in my arms..

"So finally you befriended him" ..uncle asked amusingly.

"Yes"..I smiled sheeplessley...

"Aunty we are getting late..we should leave"..he said and hugged her..who was looking sad..

"I will come early next time...promise" ..he said and kissed her forehead..I smiled looking at him..

"Aunty-uncle please visit our home for some days and stay with us"..I requested them..

"Yes dear we will come..now that we have someone special to meet everytime"..uncle said and laughed..

"Bruno, byy I will come to visit you and you can also come whenever you want..I will miss you"..I bid him byy with tears..he became my friend in such a short time..he made me believe that not all doggies are hungry for chips...he jumped on me and barked saying he will also miss me...

After bidding byy...we started our way towards his house...

"Thanks for bringing me here" ..I thanked him because I really love meeting them..

"Hmm" ..he nodded..I noticed his mood was not well after he and uncle mathew went to talk...whole ride was silent..soon we reached home..

"You go, I have some important work in office"...he said still looking in front..I nodded and stepped out..I want to ask him for taking some rest but decided the other way..I saw he was quite worried from past few days..hope his all problems solve quickly...

"Mahi mam?" I was about to enter but Karan's voice cuted me in middle..he is my husband's bodyguard..

"Yes?" I asked turning back..

"Mam someone dropped this parcel for you" ..he said forwarding a package..I frowned but took it from him..

I entered inside and went towards my room..my curiosity again asked me to open it first..I opened it, it was a box..I opened it and there was another box, again a box..after five boxes finally there is a small box..I opened it and found a chit with a white rose..this is giving me creepy vibes..I opened the chit and readed the ground under my foot slipped...all the things started running like dreadful scene in front of my eyes..

No, no it can't be possible..I no..no..this can not happen...i won't let it happen..

To be continued.....
