Sakshi:
We reached the home. Randhir closed the door and I stood in the middle of the room trying to forecast what is going to come.
"Are you scared of me, sweetheart?" Randhir said.
"No," I said.
"This is the first time you said the truth. If you are scared of me, why would you repeat your mistakes. But I promise you that soon you will get scared of me. Just wait and see."
Randhir came near to me and slowly touched my lips, then caressed my hairs and cheeks. He pulled me towards him and kissed on the forehead. I didn't understand what is going on. He moved away and gave a cover to me which is on the table.
"What is this?"
"Can't you open and see?"
I opened it and got surprised.
"You... You burnt the dress. From where did this one came from?"
"I bought two dresses of the same design. One to hurt you and the other to gift you. This is your gift. But you should wear it only before me. Because only I have the right to admire your beauty. I don't like others staring at you. You really look like an angel in this dress. You are so beautiful."
He kissed me again.
I was surprised with his words. I blinked my eyes and opened my mouth. I have listened to such sweet praises from him after a very long time. Randhir smiled and closed my mouth. I widened my eyes seeing him smiling.
"You are smiling," I said.
"Why? Is there any rule set by you to me that I shouldn't smile??"
"No, no. I didn't mean it. But now a days I didn't see you smiling purely. I really........"
"Enough. Now go and have the dinner. I will be waiting for you in the room."
"What about your dinner?"
"I had the food in the party. Come soon having your meals. I think you forgot your mistake. I need to discuss about it, baby."
He left me in fear. I had the dinner an3 went to him. He looked at me and came near to me.
"Today I am not going to scold you. Not going to torture you. But you will be punished. You will know your punishment by tomorrow morning," Randhir said and I didn't understand anything.
"Shall I sleep now?" I said.
"No. I need to talk a lot with you today. And do a lot too."
Randhir winked and I didn't understand how to react because after the marriage, every night became a nightmare to me.
"Come and sit near me," Randhir said and we both settled on the bed.
"Sakshi, Today I am so happy."
I smiled seeing his happiness.
"Today I got everything back which I lost before two years. I am really very happy. I got my wealth, status, prestige, and beloved, everything, I got again. When I was on the streets, I always used to say myself that everything will come back to me and I just need to focus at my work.
Do you know, Sakshi? I slept many nights without having the food. I worked a few nights without sleeping. Whenever I felt tired, I used to see your photo and imagined me sleeping on your lap. That made me relaxed. Shall I sleep on your lap for sometime?"
I got tears knowing the hardships faced by Randhir. I wish I was with him during those days.
"Sure," I said and Randhir slept on my lap, closing his eyes. I felt to caress his hairs but dropped due to fear. He opened his eyes and got up. He rubbed my cheek with his thumb.
"Go and change your dress. I want to love you. I can't stop me anymore," Randhir said.
I remembered those two horrible nights with him. I gulped and looked at him pleading.
"I.. want to... sleep.. please.. only for today.."
"I won't say anything twice. Now go and come fast, baby. Don't irritate me because you are the one who have to bear it. Come soon without spoiling my mood," Randhir said and placed a kiss on the cheek.
I wiped the tears and went to change my dress. I came to him and he sighed looking at my dull face. He slowly made me to lie on the bed. He started kissing me and I was in fear remembering his torture twice.
He slowly kissed me on the forehead, eyes, cheeks and lips. He kissed on the neck and looked at me. I moved my gaze from him.
"Look at me," Randhir said.
I looked at him.
"I am sorry. I think still you didn't forget those horrible nights. I didn't do it intentionally. I lost control over my anger. But trust me I won't molest you again. I know you don't like me, I will stay away from you."
He was about to get up from the bed but stopped as I held his shirt.
"I didn't say that I don't like you."
Randhir looked at me shocking. I blushed and looked away from him with a smile. He again kissed me on the lips. Now I left myself in his love and responded to him. I hugged him and we both lost in love as if we forgot our past for sometime.
In the morning, I woke up and saw him near me. Randhir slept hugging me. I smiled and got up slowly without disturbing him. I checked my neck and hands but I didn't find any injuries on my body. Till then my heart couldn't believe that he is not rude with me the last night. I went off to prepare the breakfast for him as he would get angry if I didn't complete the works on time.
"Sakshi, you got acall," Randhir said, giving his mobile to me.
I looked at him with confusion and took the mobile.
"What? But how did it happen?"
"Don't worry. I will talk to Randhir," I said and disconnected the call.
Randhir snatched the mobile from me.
"Randhir, why did you do this? please leave them. I will do whatever you say. please don't do this to my dad."
"What did I do, my beloved?"
"Dad told that the shareholders suddenly asked him to return their shares. They want to withdraw their shares from the company. If it happens, my family will be on the road. Randhir, please stop this," I said holding his hands and pleading him. Randhir closed his eyes seeing me in tears and begging him.
"If you can guess easily that it was done by me, don't you know why did I do this?"
"Is it for talking to Ajay?"
"For disobeying me."
"I promise I will do whatever you say. I will never disobey you. Please stop this."
"Don't worry, darling. If you really stand by your words, I will buy the entire shares. So that you can never run away from me. I scolded you and tortured you mercilessly. But still you didn't listen to me. So, finally I touched ur family.
You are shaken. I will go to any extent to just make you tied up to this relationship forever. Whether you like it or not, you must accept me as your husband."
"I will do whatever you say," I said.
"That's fine. Then from today you should cut off all your relationships including your parents and friends. Even in thoughts, you should think only about me. If you behave as a perfect wife forgetting everything except me, your family will be safe. Otherwise I am not responsible for anything that happens to your family," Randhir said.
"Ok. Please don't suffer my family. I will do as you said."
"Good. I will be waiting at the dining hall. Bring the breakfast soon, my dear sweet wife."
Randhir kissed her on the cheek and went off from there.
Randhir changed totally. He is becoming more rude day by day. What should I do now? I know I did a mistake. But lifelong I can't bear his torture. At the sametime I don't want to hurt him. I can't even leave him now because of his conditions. The only way I have is to regain his love. But even if I show love he is thinking that it's pretension. How can I earn a place in his heart again?
"Sakshi, I am getting late. Are you coming?" Randhir shouted from the dining hall.
"Yes, just five minutes," I said.
I served him the breakfast but as I am upset thinking about our life, by mistake, I split food on his blazer.
"I... I... am sorry. Really.. sorry.." I said.
"I remember our first meeting," Randhir said, remembering the past.
Randhir came to a restaurant and placed the order. He is about to take his seat, but I hit him as I caught two plates of food and was unable to see him. His shirt were spoiled because of me. Randhir looked seriously at me. I was wearing a jeans pant and a sleeveless white t-shirt with loose hairs.
"Can't you see?" Randhir fumed at me.
"Can't you see? A beautiful girl is coming catching two plates in her both hands. Don't you know to move aside to give her the way," I said.
Randhir looked at his side and then his front.
"What are you doing?" I said.
"You said that a beautiful girl is coming. So I am just searching for her," Randhir said, making me angry.
"You."
"Look baby, it is good only when anyone stays in their limits. Otherwise their life will become the worst sooner or later. Just learn how to behave in the public," Randhir said and I looked at him seriously. But he smiled and went off from there.
Randhir got up from the chair and I was scared of him remembering my unnecessary ranting that day. I stepped back and he came towards me.
"I am really sorry. I didn't do it wantedly."
Randhir didn't respond to me and went to the washbasin to wash his hands.
"Bring my white blazer from the cupboard. Already it's late. I have a meeting with the international delegates today," Randhir said.
I got relaxed as he didn't say anything. I gave the blazer to him.
"Sakshi, I don't know when I will return tonight because of meetings. The maids and watchman are joining today. You no need to do any work from today. Have your dinner and sleep. Lock the door and keep the mobile on the table near to you while sleeping. Call me, if anything is wrong," Randhir said and I nodded. He came near to me and kissed on the forehead before leaving to his office.
