I stirred feeling the light which is disturbing my sleep..I don't want to wake up ,not when my pillow is so comfortable, but it is hard..

I knocked my hand but it didn't bluged.. with a huff I opened my eyes to meet two blue balls staring right at me, he was so closer too me.. I can feel his minty breath on my face, his hairs are messy making him look more sexy. I flushed by looking at our proximity. But what is he doing on my bed? he cleared his throat, snapping out from my dreamland, i looked down at his hand on my waist.. I actioned him to remove his hand but he raised his eyebrow..

"I need to use washroom.."his face formed in oh, he removed his arm from my waist.. I tried to sit up but the pain in my right hand didn't allowed me.. he noticed this and helped me in sitting..

"It is due to sedation" ..I nodded meekely not wanting to know how I came here because I already know that..I was having a nightmare last night.. when I woke up there was no one but the haunted memories. The simple warning by him woke the hidden fear in me and I lost myself. But I didn't remember anything after I went to hide in the washroom because I was feeling his voice everywhere.. is it true that we create our demons by our own fear?

"Your body was ice cold, it was not responding. Everything was out of my control did you still not want to tell me what big has happened that you are in this condition, now I don't want you to serve me any lie.. I will not be gentle when it comes to your safety mahi" he asked everything in a loud and threatening voice..

"Tell me the truth mahi, I am getting frustrated by your behaviour..I am just fed up with your lies..." He yelled running his fingers through his hairs.. I flinched by sudden change in his mood..

"I am just like this, that's why I am saying to you leave me.. divorce me and find someone as perfect as you. I am mentally exhausted, I am not normal.. leave me as I am please for gods sake leave me alone adi." I begged him while tears were flowing continuously from my eyes.. but he was in no mood to drop the topic he pulled me in way that, my front collided with his hard chest.. he gripped my hands..

"Is it that easy for you to say.. leave you, never. Hear it clearly I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU.. never ever.. if it is good times we will live good, if it is bad times then too we will live together.. if it about your illness I will be your cure.. but I will never let you leave me, NOT AGAIN.." he said each word with such a determination in his eyes that his each word is like a promise or warning to me.. I just shooked my head negatively and pushed him and ran inside the washroom after locking it I took a deep breath... it's being too much in a day.. that's when I realised I was in his room..

When I saw myself in mirror a gasp escaped from my mouth..I was in his shirt and that too without any inner wear..an known fear crept in my mind what if he saw..no..no this can't be possible..

Slowly slowly I opened the buttons of his shirt and shutter my eyes closed tightly..I removed it and turned back..and a tear escaped from my eyes..I am not perfect, leave perfect I am not even fit for him.

No man was wants his wife to be a statue of scars, and to my luck I have only scars..he calls me scarlet meaning the most beautiful but this scarlet is full of scars..not for him..there were marks all over my back..lower cleavage..After knowing all this he would never want to touch me.. Although they are fading but still they are imprinted in my mind as they were..

I know he will never touch any girl without her consent..that kiss was too a outcome of his frustation..that clearly meant he had not saw this..

He deserves someone beautiful, someone who look compitable to him..we don't know what someone is hiding behind a perfect face and big smile.. that's why never let the outlook misguide you. The only thing which destroyed our life is misunderstanding and his trust issues .

I came out and saw him working on his laptop...I fake coughed to gain his attention..he looked towards me with a raised eyebrows..

"Freshen up, I will prepare your breakfast." I said and started to move out but his voice stopped me..

"Maids will do it" ..he said still looking at his laptop..

"No, no I will prepare your breakfast myself"...I replied hurriedly but when immediately my mind registered my words, I bite my lips..he was looking at me with an amused expression.

"I mean my breakfast..come down" ..I said and ran down..I need to ask him something very important and I know he will not agree to it..I entered inside the kitchen and prepared a proper breakfast because he always skipped his lunch..I prepared chane, puri with suji halwa (black gram with fried-bread and indian halwa)..and placed it on the table, after sometime he came down and took his place. He looked at the food with a small smile..I know the reason for that smile..

"Scarlet, where are you going? Come na we don't have much time, if that angry bird saw me here na; he will push me from the balcony"..he said getting impatient..

"Adi, this is not the way to talk about elders and I have a suprise for you"..I said excitedly..

"Suprise, you are moving in with me.. thank God! Now I don't have to climb that stupid pipes to meet you"..he said and jumped on my bed like a king..

"Nothing like that, wait here I coming" ..I ran down to bring the food which I prepared for him..I looked here and there, and then carefully took a plate and served the food and ran upstairs..

"Adi, close your eyes" ..I ordered him..

"No"..here comes his arrogant reply..

"Please na do it" ..I requested him..

"I don't like suprises scarlet, I believe in facts"..he will be hell admant..

"Now don't waste my time" he will not do a single thing I want my eyes become blurry.. seeing this he stood up from the bed..

"Hey, my baby ..why are you crying? Okk I will close my eyes"...he closed his eyes and I bought the plate which I put outside the room...

"Open your eyes my beast" ..I whispered he opened his eyes and looked down . A smile automatically get attached to his lips..

"Ashtami food, my mother used to feed me this but now that she is in Chandigarh..I missed all this..but you prepared it with your hands for me"..I nodded..

"Feed me"..he ordered..I smile and put a morsel in his mouth..

"Just like my mother's food beyond tasty" ..this one compliment is bigger than any other compliment..

"You like it?" I asked him..

"I love the food and chef both the most" he replied while feeding me...

_______________

We both ate our food in silence..he stood up and picked his phone...I have to ask..

"Aditya" ..he turned and actioned me to continue but his gaze is fixed on his phone..

"I wanna inform you from tomorrow I am rejoining my work"..his eyes immediately snapped up..he walk towards me in two long strides..

"Repeat" ..he ordered looking straight into my eyes..

"I am going to rejoin my job from tomorrow...I used to work before our marriage..I wan.___ he cuted me in middle..

"NO" ..he stated without any though...I looked at him beliwered..

"What do you mean by no? I am just informing you..I don't require your permission for it"....I argued back it is totally insane..

"I don't want my wife to work...I have plenty of money spent the way you want...but for job, so my answer is straight No"...his voice was calm and straight...

"I want to be independent..you can't compare any one's self respect with your money"...I raised my voice..

"Look mahi, I am not saying anything that doesn't meant I will listen whatever you say..I don't want my wife to do any low class job, by the way which job you do?" He looked at me like I am a stripper in bar or something..

"First thing no job is lower class or higher class..every work has it's own respect..and for your information being a management head in an company is not a low key job"....I told him straightly.. Because I don't want him to know the truth... If he comes to know I am a ceo of world's one of the largest company, than only heaven's know..

"And a person once told me never let your talent die because the treasure you have"..I reminded him his own words...

"I want to become the one to support you not to stop you from achieving your goals..

And my scarlet treasure may get finished or destroyed for once but your talent will never leave you..got it.."

"Look mahi I don't want this moral lectures, you are not going to work and this is final..be at home like a good wife"..he said sternly...his eyes were burning with rage.

"I will go, you can't stop me" ..I yelled at him..why can't he understands I have a very important project to finish...

"I love challenges wife, go on try it" ..he said with a smirk which was showing me his intensions...

"What are you planning?" I asked him directly..

"That's for me to see..take care my WIFE"....he kissed my forehead..and turned with a last look he left me standing dumbstruck..i am his wife not a slave..

I know this beast is planning something but I have to go..my work is suffering..I just can't be his doll..

I will go... tomorrow..

"Burn with an intensity that when you come out, you turned out to be pure gold"
