Chapter 22
*Satvi Pov*
"So, who was she? I mean, who was the stalker?" those are the words which came out when he entered our room.
After he left, I started thinking about the paper. And in the end when I got a sniff of scent around the paper, I can feel that the stalker is a woman.
"No one!" he mumbled, walking towards the wardrobe and his answer confirmed my thoughts.
"Ok! The stalking is on you right?" I asked him with hope hearing, which he turned around to look at me.
"Yes!" He replied, but I ignored his words because something else caught my sight.
"Of course! You went to meet this stalker of yours." I said with narrowed eyes.
"What?" he asked back, but I am already planning a murder in my mind staring at the lipstick marks on his shirt.
"You are having an affair." I replied and pointed to the marks.
He glanced at them and then understood my words. He sighed before asking, "Will there be any difference, whether I am cheating or not?"
"You are a married man." I said, hoping that my thought is wrong.
"Do we even act like a married couple?" he asked again.
"Don't ask me these types of questions, and I don't have to answer you. You can do whatever you want, and it doesn't effect me." I replied fisting my hands without letting him see them.
"See? Problem is solved. Now let me freshen up." He said walking inside the washroom.
How can he cheat on me? I thought gritting my teeth and looked around for a weapon to kill him for making me feel this restless.
On one side, he says that he loves his wife, but here he doesn't even respect the marriage. Maybe I am accusing him unnecessarily! My consciousness kicked itself inside my brain.
Yes! He can never do that immoral thing even when he did the others. He is not cheating! I decided and smiled to myself before lying on the bed.
"What's your smile means?" I came out of my thoughts hearing that question and turned to see him already lying beside me.
"You are not cheating in this marriage." I said and he actually looked at me in shock.
"Excuse me? How can you be so sure?" he asked frowning.
"Cheating is not you." I simply replied and closed my eyes to sleep, but immediately opened them when I felt him hugging me tightly like squeezing the life out of me kind of hug.
"Woah!" I said, coughing but he didn't loosen his hold.
"What happened?" I asked him frowning.
"Just... just thanks for trusting." He replied, and I felt like something just squeezed my heart.
I slowly placed my hand on his head, which is resting on my throat and started brushing my fingers through his hair. A small smile made itself on my face when I felt him already sleeping, but the hold is not loosened.
I returned his tight hug before drifting off into sleep. With a last thought which says that he is seriously a mad man.
And my thought proved to be right with his behavior the very next day. He acted like yesterday didn't happen like it was nothing but an imagination. I would have even believed to be my imagination, but I have that paper which proves that it is not.
Just because he is acting like his usual self doesn't mean that there is no change at all. There is a change, but it is invisible, which made me laugh in front of him many times.
"You have gone mad." That's what he said a few times, but I ignored them.
He started making small conversations by himself, and even though I got the feeling of shock and disbelief every time, I didn't let him see that because I know the minute, he realizes that he is behaving differently he will go back to his angry status.
"I want pizza today." I said when he started leaving through the door.
"You are eating lots of outside food during these past few days. I will not bring it." He said closing the door, but I know that he will.
He says one thing but what he actually does is another. I smiled to myself before walking inside the washroom to freshen up. I walked downstairs drying my hair, which is, in fact, good at present, which is opposite to invisible.
I stopped in my tracks when I saw another parcel near the door. I picked it up and opened it to see a withering rose inside. I took it out and sighed before hiding it near the place where I hid the paper.
I waited until evening and told him "Your stalker sent a rose, which is kind of dead."
"That's it!" he said, leaving the house the way he entered and even closed the door which he never forgets.
I glanced at the couch to see the pizza box. I grinned to myself and opened it feeling more than hungry. By the time I finished eating, he returned with tiredness showing on his face.
He just plopped on the couch by closing his eyes and asked, "Did you leave me any?"
"Uhmm... no!" I mumbled, staring at his face.
"Great!" he mumbled back, and I sighed getting up.
"Here!" I said, returning from the kitchen, and he opened his eyes to see the plate full of food.
"You said that you would not bring the food right, so I prepared it as a caution. Now have some." I said, sitting beside him.
"Thanks! But I don't have the energy." He said closing his eyes again.
"Hmm... I will feed you." I said, hoping that it is not awkward to offer that help.
"No thanks!" he mumbled after a few seconds.
"Mr.Rohan Choksi! If you don't eat this food right now, I will throw this on your head." I threatened him hearing, which he opened his eyes with a shock in them.
"Now open your mouth." I said, glaring at him, and he did immediately.
"See? That was not so difficult right?" I asked him sarcastically when half of the food is already finished, but he still looked at me in shock.
"What? Never got fed like this?" I asked him raising my eyebrow.
"Not like this for sure. My nannies used to have a field day to do it and by the time I got step Mother, I already was a big boy. But Swetha did this except by pleading me. Like 'Eat a little for my sake Rohan'. So getting threatened was always out of the question." He explained and I don't know why, but I really wanted to throw the plate on his head when he talked about his first wife.
"Hmmm..." I mumbled like I am not listening to his words but inside, I am trying to stop myself from doing something drastic.
"There you go!" I said, getting up and walked inside the kitchen to wash my hands.
When he still sat on the couch, I shouted, saying, "I am not going to clean your mouth. Go and do it yourself."
"Damn! I thought you would do that too." He said getting up, and I smiled hearing him.
"I like him!" I said and for the first time, I accepted it openly and that too near my sister who is presently looking at me like I have grown two heads.
"I am sorry! I think I heard something wrong here." She said, shaking her head while I just continued to stir the coffee in my hand.
I just finished my check-up with Leela beside me. As usual, the doctor said that I need some more time before I can try anything to bring my memory back.
"I know it is crazy, but I also know that it is true." I said sighing.
"You actually like him? So that is why you didn't try to run away?" she asked and I slowly nodded.
"But you said he locks you down." She added.
"He does! And that is the reason why I am loathing myself at present to even like him. But what can I do when he is... actually something. I still don't know him completely. But all I know is that I like him." I said, groaning when I realize what I am even saying.
"It's maybe not that bad to like him, I guess." She offered.
"No! It is not good because he is in love with his first wife, and he will never forget that I was the reason for her death. I will have nothing but heartbreak. So I decided to stay a little away from him from now on." I said, thinking about the decision I made today morning.
"You know what you have to do, Di. So I will not say anything, but I have something for you." She said, placing a small box in front of me.
"Advance happy birthday, Di." She said when I opened it to see a small bracelet with my name graved on it.
"I forgot!" I mumbled and then remembered that in three days it is my birthday.
"It's not a big deal to forget with all that is happening. I wanted to wish you first because I know we may not meet that day. So advance wishes." She said smiling, and I smiled back at her gesture.
"Thank you!" I said immediately wearing the bracelet.
"I missed your last birthday, Di. I don't want to miss even this." She said when we started walking out of the café which is beside the hospital.
"I too missed my last birthday." I said jokingly while she just hugged me before getting inside the car along with me, which was sent by Rohan.
After dropping her, the driver took me towards the house. I glanced at him and was about to make small conversation, but decided against it because he really looks scary.
"Thanks!" I mumbled and walked inside the house which is unlocked as Rohan is already inside.
He was adamant about sending me to the hospital only after he returned home. I shook my head and directly walked in the kitchen after freshening up not even intimating that I have returned.
But I can see that he knows as by the time I returned from our room, he already locked the door. Like I said I decided to ignore him, and I will do it.
