Chapter 9

Krisha's POV:

               After consoling Alka I sent her to her cabin and then started to whoosh my inner turmoil. The fact of Adith being to close to another girl was killing me alive. I was married to Adith and only I have all rights over him.

        After gulping the hot relishing coffee, I finally decided to meet Adith. Walking straight to his cabin I went inside without knocking the door.

           "How dare you come in without taking my permission?" Asked Adith deadly calm.

           "What's all this?" I asked him without showing the fear in my face.

    "All what...?" He asked me back confused.

       "How can you agree for a date with another women?" I asked him straight.

        "I take my own decisions just like you Krisha... I don't think about the consequences... Just like you, I don't think how hurt others might feel... Just like you. I'm doing what you have did to me." He told me spitting venom.

         "I don't remember going on a date with another man when my husband is very much alive and I love him." I told him expecting a ray of love but found none... He was blazing with anger.

        "Husband.... Do you know the meaning of that word... Love... Oh... Please stop uttering that word with the filthy mouth of yours it sounds so ugly. " he told with disgust.

          "Adith please... Don't do this to me. You know I can't stand the fact of another girl taking my place in your life. You can't love her... Because I know you still love me. Why do you want to spoil all our lives like this...?" I asked him wiping my tears.

          Suddenly he got up from his chair with force and held me by my shoulder really tight. " Spoiling life? You know very well that who spoiled our life...? Who spoiled our love? And who spoiled my trust? I loved you Krisha but you back stabbed me in a way I couldn't forget for life time. " he seethed with anger.

            "You know why I did that Adith...? And you know how I love you and I still do... Even after everything I stick to you because my love is true and I know your love is also true you can't even think of another girl sitting close to you in first place then why do you want to complicate things? " I asked holding his collar.

         He grabbed my hand and pulled it down from his collar uttering " Because I despise you.." and was about to leave the cabin. 

          "How long...? For how long you are going to punish me? Don't push me to the extent where I break and couldn't even rethink about our love Adith.... I'm a human too and my heart hurts. You have punished me more than I deserve in every way possible till today... Please don't push me more... " I cried clutching my heart. I felt my chest tightened and breath labored.

             "Quit acting." He told and opened the door.

         "Okay fine... Since you planned to move on. Go ahead. " I told and left his cabin walking past him.

      I knew what I was going to do was wrong but all's fair in love and war. I heard Srinivas uncle talking about the five star restaurant Adith was about to visit that night with that girl.

              I called Selva, apologized for my hurtful words and offered him a dinner. He was ecstatic, when it was around eight in the evening we went to the same restaurant where Adith was about to come with that girl.

            We took our table and placed our order after five minutes  I saw Adith with a girl she was beautiful but I knew Adith wasn't happy. He was doing that to hurt me and irritate me.

              Adith saw me sitting with Selva and I could easily see him turning red with anger. His failed paying his attention to that girl just like me doing with Selva.

          "Krisha... Are you listening?" Asked Selva. I felt really bad for him.

          "I...I'm... Uhhh... Just.. uh..headache." I told Selva.

         "Then let's go Krisha.. I'll drop you home you need rest. " told him concerned, I didn't wanted to cheat Selva but there I was doing everything for my husband, for his love.

       Sometimes we become selfish because we wasn't left with any choice, specially when it comes to love.

       Clearly Adith ignored that girl and left the table making me sigh in relief. I told Selva to drop me home. On the way we saw Adith car being hit onto a post.

            Selva slowed down the car but I didn't wait for him to stop literally I jumped out of that moving vehical and ran to Adith's car. He was panting hard and struggling to breath.

           I opened the door panicked making him fell on my arms unconscious. We rushed him to the nearby hospital.

            "Why are you crying for him Krisha... He is a jerk. Stop caring so much for him." Told Selva making me glare at him. Meanwhile, he got a call from Alka and told everything.

         " Who is with the patient?" Asked a man in white coat.

       "Me, doctor...." I told him.
     
         " What happened?" Asked the doctor.

      "Actually, he is allergic to fish, I guess he had it today. Because whenever he had fish he'll get this attack. Please check him." I told him crying.

           " Don't worry ma'am. We'll take care of your husband. Please wait." told the doctor.

         "She's not his wife doctor." Came an anger reply from Selva, doctor apologized and left to treat Adith.

    "  I wish, I would tell you about my relationship with him Selva. Nobody can change the fact, I'm his wife." I thought to myself and sat on the chair.

          "Stupid doctor... Uh... Krisha , how do you know that he is allergic to fish?" Asked Selva. I was taken aback.

   Before I could answer Alka came. She was crying for my husband. Why? Because she loves  him. That truth was stabbing my heart. I could tolerate anything and everything in my life but I could never lose my Adith to anyone. I would definitely break if he gave my place to any other girl, hell if it was my friend or anybody else.

       Selva told me to leave and that he'll drop me but I told him that I already calledu driver. After convincing him a lot Selva left.

           Me and Alka sat outside and was waiting for the doctor. Once he came out Alka rushed to him pushing me aside.

     The nerve of that girl...

       "How is hr doctor?" She asked the doctor.

       "Who are you to him?" Asked the doctor.

         "I'm his lover." She was so spontaneous and my blood boiled to beat the hell out of her. I better had to tell her the truth fast. It was high time.

           "Oh.. Okay... He is completely fine now and was under sedation. You can see him now." Told the doctor and left.

           We both went inside, she ran to to the sleeping Adith and hugged him tight and kissed his forehead. My heart shattered into bits and pieces looking them like that and I stood rooted near the cot.

       "Hello... Ms... Can you please come and meet me now. There are some procedures, you have to sign. " peeped the doctor and called Alka.

     Once she left I turned to see Adith... His forehead had many lines, I touched it and he relaxed.
Suddenly I felt the distance between us increased thousand folds and I was nothing to him.

         To sooth the incredulous pain in my heart I decided to leave home but a hand grabbed my wrist when I was about to leave.

          I saw Adith gripping my hand tight with half closed eyes. With one tug I fell on him and he sneeked his hand around my waist.

        "Krisha... Don't leave me." Told him looking into my eyes, he was in his subconscious state and I was gald that he still wanted me. I hugged him tight burying my face in the crook of his neck.

                 "I will never ever leave you Adith.... Until you are mine...even though you push me to death, I'll never ever leave you." I told him with muffled cries.

           He gripped my hair and made me face him " Promise?"

     I smiled and said " I promise."
   
          In no time I felt his lips on mine and he was kissing me hard with all the energy left in him with so much passion and mainly his kiss was the replica of his love.

            I was stunned for a second because it was after a long time he was kissing me, I was unaware of the situation. I knew he was not in his senses but I knew, I wanted to kiss him. Without thinking about anything I kissed him back. Every muscle in my body lit up and born to life, my soul started functioning making me felt alive from being a living corpse.

        Every nerve of my body earned for his touch and kisses. My heart was thriving for his love but he never understood anything and left me alone in the cruel world to fight my demons including him.

   Not fair Adith!

       Suddenly I was pulled from him and a hard slap landed on my cheek making it go red and sting in pain. My wedding chain fell out of my neckline in the force and I looked at the angry looking Alka with a hand on my cheek.

              "You bitch.. How dare you touch my Adith... And... You are married....? How could you cheat your husband like this? You whore. Stay away from my Adith." Spat Alka.

      Not thinking twice I gave that slap back and she fell on the floor with the force.

           "Stop calling my husband yours again and again if not I'll rip that bloody head of yours from your body. Yes, I'm married. And here the one lying in bed is my husband. Adith is my husband. I'm Krisha Adith Srinivas. If you ever tried to touch him again trust me Alka you'll see the worst. I can tolerate anything but not even think of another girl in my husband's life. Stay away from him. " I warned Alka.

         Blood drained from her face she was looking like me as if I was a ghost. Pain was evident in her reaction.

         I was taken over by my anger when I came back to my senses I realized what I did, I saw Adith sleeping peacefully pulling my life into hell and dropping me into such drastic situations.

          I slowly looked at Alka she was still on the floor. She was my best friend. Moreover she wasn't at fault I should have told her this in a different way specifically not like this.

        "I...I'm sorry Alka.... I'm so sorry... I didn't mean to hurt you I'm sorry.... " I stepped back slowly my back hit the wall, I fell on my knees and cried my heart out.

After an hour:

    We both were sitting on the adjacent chairs with an uncomfortable silence neither of us spoke, it was evident that we both were equally hurt and guilty.

        "So... You both are married." Alka broke the silence. I just nodded my head in positive.

            "How long... I mean... You know..." She dragged her sentence but I understood.

      "We have been married for four years." I told her. Alka looked at me with an unbelievable expression, shock obvious on her face.

       "Adith... He didn't tell me... Actually he didn't utter a word to any of us about you. What's the problem between you two?" Asked Alka.

     I let out a bitter laugh facing the floor and turned to her " Our problem is we love each other too much."

        My mind recollected Adith's words which comforts me in my all vulnerable conditions.

         "You don't have to worry Krisha...

         I'm there for you...

       I'll take care of you...

        I'll never leave your side..
  
          I always love you...

        I can never ever hurt you in my life...

          I love you more than anything else in the world... " I lost myself when he spoke such sentences but off late I hated myself for believing in him so much  because all those sentences were proved false in various situations of our life only that three words I LOVE YOU remains unbroken till then... At least I guessed so.

        "What happened between you two tell me. I want to know." Alka insisted.

       I time traveled back to the beautiful period of my life and relished the beautiful memory.

"Adith and I met first in my college..." I started telling her my love story.

   To be continued....
