'Game.'

~~~~~~~

Mallika's POV

It has been a week, he is trying to escape again and again in my absence so I had to lock him in the room but it is getting difficult for me to control him. He don't have a single clue what I can do with him. He is challenging my patience. He is very stubborn and I am planning to break his stubbornness. 

Right now I am in the hall, doing work in my tab while he is with me arguing with me to let him go. 

Sumedh: Mujhe jane do. Tum mere saath jabardasti nahi kar sakti.😤

Mallika: Kaha jaoge? You forgot I brought you here from you so called relatives.

I said taunting him.

Sumedh: Kahi bhi jaunga, kaise bhi rahunga, kuch bhi karunga, bas tumse dur rahunga jitna ho sake.

He whined. 

Mallika: Tumhe jana hai?

I asked darkly.

Sumedh: Haan.

Let's play a game. A game of chase. Run and hide.

Mallika: Time kitna ho raha hai?

Sumedh: 8:45 PM. Par tum puch kyu rahi ho?

Mallika: 1 hour. I will give you 1 hour to run. To escape. I will get 20 minutes to find you. If I failed to caught you, you are free to go. And if I caught you, you will never ever say me to let go.

He will run for his freedom which he will never get till I am alive. He was thinking my words.

Mallika: Hurry up sweetheart. Think fast. The time is running.

Sumedh: Tum pakka mujhe jane do gi agar tum mujhe 20 minute tak nahi dhundh payi?

Oh! How innocent he is.

Mallika: I swear.

Sumedh: Tum kisi ki help nahi logi. Kisi ki bhi nahi. Vada karo.

I smirk.

Mallika: I promise. Go fast and get ready and try your best.😏

He nodded and went to wear his shoes. He don't know what will happen with him. I chuckled humorously. You are playing with fire babyboy You don't know the consequences. 

He came down. I hold his hand and took him with me to the gate of mansion. Guards can't stop him. I see the time it's 8:59. I pulled him towards me kissed his forehead. 

Mallika: Better run. Run sweetheart. 

He looked in my eyes there is a promise in my eyes. A promise that I will find him. I looked at him while he was going away from me.

Run as much you can run. Catching you will be fun. Let's see how much you can run from me sweetheart. You can't go babyboy. You are here for your whole life. Now see what will happen next. You are mine only mine.

I went in and continued doing my work. Radhika came towards me.

Radhika: Mikku tum janti ho tum kya kar rahi ho?

Mallika: Acchi tarah janti hu.

Radhika: Sumedh ko kuch ho gaya to? Yaha aas paas sirf jungle hi jungle hai. Aur ye raat ka time hai.

Her voice held worry.

Mallika: Usse kuch nahi hoga. Vo apne aap ko bacha sakta hai. 

I know he can't.

Radhika: Lekin Mikku ye theek nahi hai.

I rolled my eyes.

Mallika: Radhika dimaag kharab mat karo. Ye file lo aur den jao. Tumhe pata hai tumhe kya karna hai.

I ordered.

Radhika: Yes mam.

She unwillingly went.

I saw the clock stick 9:15 PM. I smirked.

Mallika: Enough of this wait. I am coming now.

Sumedh's POV

I am hiding behind a tree. She is here looking for me. I have no strategy. I have to survive till 18 minutes some how. I heard footsteps coming towards me. 

Mallika: I bet you are here Cadbury.

She said making my breath hitch. 

Mallika: Are you.. sweetheart?

She rhetorically questioned. Her footsteps sounding louder and louder. I close my eyes accepting my fate if it chooses to happen now.

Suddenly all noise stopped. What's happening? I am so much confused. I opened one eye first then second. I tilted my head to left.

Sumedh: Ahhhhhhh!

I screamed seeing her. I stumbled back to my feet towards my right. Like a actual predator she jumped in front of me. 

Sumedh: Nahi. Nahi. Nahi.

I keep on repeating as I saw her coming closer to me. I ran. I ran as fast I can. I hid behind some wide trunk tree.

Mallika: Sweetheart come out. I want to see you.

She said in a sing a song voice, taunting me. I looked to my front. The way was clear. I ran. I bumped with her. It's so much darkness. Only moonlight is visible. Enough to not to haunt me.

Mallika: Sweetheart.

She shouted. I was being chased. My adrenaline was high giving me all the strength I needed. I hid again.

Mallika: Oh sweetheart, you are trapped.

She said and appeared in front of me from no where. I ran. Am scared. I felt a hand grab my wrist and I screamed. Pulling the hand back dodging the hand. 

I ran. I ducked behind the tree. I put my hand over my mouth and nose. I could hear the frustrated walking of her. I successfully lost her. 

Mallika: 10 minutes.

Halfway down. But the time is going very slow. I heard the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer. 

Mallika: Come out sweetheart.

Her voice was sickly sweet telling me she knew I was here. I close my eyes again. Sweat dribbling down the side of my forehead. 

Mallika: Come out, come out sweetheart.

She sang the words footsteps getting louder. Then suddenly I felt hot breath on my neck.

Mallika: Found you.

She whispered.

I jumped startled and scared before I rushed towards my right. but there was a tree. I turned around. My eyes wide and filled with nervousness. I saw her silhouette approaching me. 

Sumedh: Mu.. mujhe ja.. jane do.😨

I stuttered. My entire body shaking in fear.

Mallika: Jane do?

She asked. Her hands caging my small frame in between her and the tree. I nodded vigorously. She hummed grabbing my hair.

Mallika: I will never let you go.

I shivered. Her voice was dark. Dominance oozed from every inch of her body. I was too stunned even to speak. but then I saw a opportunity to escape.

Sumedh: Sorry.

I whispered. I slipped down and under between her spread legs. I am not big of a man, so it works for me. I ran. 

I suddenly bumped into someone. I fell on my butt, lightly groaning. I looked up, about to whine before I saw her. She made me forcefully stand and wrapped her arms around my stomach.

Sumedh: Nahi! Mujhe jane do.

I struggled in vain.

Mallika: Got you sweetheart.

She whispered in my ear, licking behind my earlobe. I closed my eyes and blushed. I squirmed in her hold.

Mallika: Stop moving.

She grunted out, trying hard to keep me still with all the moving I was doing. 

Sumedh: Mujhe jane do! Mujhe! jane! do!

I screamed trying to pull her hands away from me. She was stronger than I imagined.

Mallika: Bura hua? Nahi?😏

She smirked.

Mallika: Bechara.

She show faked sympathy. A gasp escaped my lips. I looked at her watch. I had 40 seconds left. Not even a minute.

Mallika: So sad.

She whispered in my ears. I whined.

Sumedh: Mai bahut paas tha.

I cried. Pleading her with my eyes. She grabbed my jaw roughly.

Mallika: Time's up.

Sumedh's POV Over

Mallika's POV

I leave him. He tried to run. I grabbed his wrist pulling him towards me. He fell on me. I gripped his both wrists. He was pushing me trying to get free. He was wriggling. 

I stared at his face. He was tired and huffing. He got his left hand free. He tried to free his other hand. I pulled him over me. I again caught his left hand. I turned him. I changed my side. I pushed him to my left, with his wrists in my grip. 

He wriggled more and more. I yanked his hands in a way his back was touching my front and his wrists tightly locked in my grip. He looked at me with his fear filled eyes. I stared into his soul from his eyes. I am very angry. He closed his eyes. 

With his all power he freed himself and pushed me. I pulled him. He fell on me. I wrapped my arms around him so that he can't fell. He hugged me. Too tired to struggle. He is trying to melt my anger. I glared him. I pushed him.

Sumedh: Mujhe jane do please. Maine kya bigada hai tumhara? Kyu kar rahi ho aise?

Mallika: Kya bigada? Tumne meri jindagi badal di hai.

I yelled. There is blood in my eyes.

Sumedh: Maine kuch nahi kiya. Maine kuch nahi kiya.😨

He ran away from me.

Mallika: Bhago. Bhaogo. Jinda bach gaye to mere paas aana padega.😏

I smirked. I will not let him die. 

I followed him. He can't escape. He stopped running. He sat down on his knees. He is tired. His eyes widened. He saw a wolf looking for a prey. 

I smirked. He was too scared. I came in front of him. He stood up. I grabbed his wrist. He looked at me, pleading to save him.

Mallika: Be quiet. Not even a single sound. If you want to stay alive. If you ran, the wolf will surely caught you.

I whispered. He nodded. Suddenly his eyes widened. I didn't do anything. Why is he scared?

Sumedh: Pe.. Peeche dekho.😥

He was horrified. I turned and saw the wolf saw us. I went near it. Staring into the eyes. I stood in front of it. I put silencer on my gun. The wolf jumped on me to attack me. I shot. A ear piercing voice escaped from it as the soul left his body.

I smirked. I looked back and saw my baby. He was terrified. He was sitting on his knees. His eyes were tightly closed. He had palmed his ears. 

I went to him and cupped his face. I feel bad. My Cadbury is scared. He opened his eyes and looked at me. Tears escaped from his eyes. I wiped those precious tears. After some time he calmed down only by looking in my eyes. We stood up. 

I tilted my head.

Mallika: Kaha tha maine. Ek baar maine tumhe samay rehte pakad liya to mai tumhe kabhi nahi jane dungi.

I said darkly.

Sumedh: Tum galat kar rahi ho. Tum jo karna chahti ho vo thik nahi hai. Mujhe jane do.

I am enraged now. I grabbed his throat. He gasped. I put pressure on his throat and pushed him up. His back was pinned on the tree. he was trying to remove my hands from his throat. He was gasping for breath. His eyes were dizzy. 

Something is happening with in me seeing his eyes. I feeling weak. I remembered his words. "Mujhe jane do" I left his throat. He fell down on the ground. His forehead got a wound.

He moved back seeing me. I am staring him. I can't express how much angry I am. He turned on his knees and tried to move away from me. Crawling back. Away from me. 

His efforts are very weak. He think, he can escape from me like that easily? I tsked. I leaned onto him.

Mallika: Tumhe kya lagta hai? Tum itni asani se mujhse peecha chudha loge? Tum bahut galat soch rahe ho. Tum sirf mere ho. Sirf mere. Tumhe iss duniya ki koi takat mujhsedur nahi kar sakti. You are mine. You belong to me. I claim you mine.

I yelled. He was trembling. Small scared voices were escaping from his mouth. I grabbed his throat making him stand up. He was trying so much to remove my hand. I looked in his eyes which were closing slowly. I left his throat. He fell down. I tsked. Such a weakling. He looked at me.

Sumedh: Tum galti kar rahi ho. Bahut galat. Bahut galat.

He was gasping for breath. I leaned into him. I sat down in my knees in front of him. I put my palms on his shoulders. He looked in my eyes.

Mallika: Chot lag gayi? Dard ho raha hai?

I asked faking sympathy. In reply, He tried to remove my palms from his shoulders weakly. I gripped his shoulders.

Sumedh: Aahhh.. ahhh Chodho mujhe... ahhhhh chodho.

He yelled in pain.

Mallika: Ye to kuch bhi nahi hai. Puri jindagi mere saath rehkar tum isse bhi jyada dard mehsus karoge.

His head fall back. He is not able to bear the pain.

Sumedh: Aahhhh.. chodo.

He whimpered. I left his shoulders and grabbed his throat. I want to see his face. I made him stand. 

His eyes rolled at the back of his head. He was not able to stay still. He looked in my eyes. He looked down. I left his throat. I touched his cheek with my fingers. My fingers traced his neck and shoulder. I leaned in. 

There was 2 inch gap between us. I reduced the gap. I nuzzled my nose in his crook of neck. I can't kiss him now. I will not kiss him without his consent. I hugged him feeling his warmness. 

I moved back and hold his wrist. Time to go back home. I dragged him towards my car.

Sumedh: Angel mujhe kaha lekar jaa rahi ho? Mujhe kahi nahi jana! Mujhe chodho.

I just dragged him. I took him near the car.

Sumedh: Angel! Tum-

I opened the passenger seat and forcefully made him sit.

Sumedh: Tum kya kar rahi ho?

I closed the door. From inside he unlocked the other door and ran. I yelled in frustration and followed him driving. I have gave him too much leeway. 

He was running. I smirked. I applied brake all of a sudden. The car drifted circling him. He stopped as his way is blocked. Dust was in the air. He squinted his eyes and coughed. I came near him and forcefully made him sit inside.

I came towards driving seat and sat inside. He tried to open the door but before that I held him tightly to which he winced. I started driving with one hand. He tried to free his hand shouting at me to which I paid no heed.

Sumedh: Angel chodho ye sab kya hai! Chodho! Tum mujhe kaha lekar jaa rahi ho? Mujhe jane do! Angel chodho varna mai chalti gaadi se kud jaunga.

Oh poor thing. Trying to threat me? I ignored him. 

Seeing me busy driving. He opened the car door of his side. I saw him. Is he mad? I applied break holding him more tightly by my hand closing the door. He was shouting on me continuously to which I shouted on him more loudly making him quiet.

Mallika: Shut up! Just shut up! Come with me. Quietly!

Sumedh: Par kyu?

He was trying to free his hand.

Mallika: Kyunki mai keh rahi hu

Sumedh: Mujhe tumhare saath kahi nahi jana Mujhe jane do varna-

Mallika: Varna! Varna kya?

Sumedh: Mai- 

I covered his mouth with my palm stopping him. Leaning on him.

Mallika: Scream as much you can baby but remember no one will hear your screams.

I removed my palm from his mouth. Still not leaving his hands. He kept on pleading to me to let him go. But now time is up. I peaks a look at him. His eyes glazed over and staring at me. He was wriggling badly in my grip.

We reached my mansion. I came out and closed the the door of my side. I went to his side and opened the door.

Mallika: Bahar aao.

Sumedh: Nahi.

I rubbed my forehead. He is testing my patience.

Mallika: Bahar aao.

Sumedh: Nahi.

Mallika: Maine kaha bahar aao.

I shouted. I pulled him out grabbing his wrist. I pulled him with me inside. But he was too stubborn. Today I will break his stubbornness. I smirked.

Mallika: Andar chalo.😏

I pulled his both wrists to his back twisting them. I pulled him with me. I threw keys at Sohan which he catched.

Mallika: Sohan park the car.

I pulled my baby inside the mansion to our room. He was screaming all the way. Irritating me so much.

Mallika: Stop shouting! No one will save you!

I pushed him in the room and closed the door. I tightened my grip on his hands. I leaned to his ear.

Mallika: Welcome to your personal hell sweetheart.

He sobbed.

Mallika: Stop crying baby.

He cried more. I pushed him on the couch and sat beside him. I made him sit on my lap. I can feel he was trembling. I tucked his hairs back which were falling on his face. Suddenly he screamed. My whole attention went to his scream.

Sumedh: Nahhhhiiiii!!!

He stood up from my lap. Pushing me away freeing his hands from me. You didn't did good babyboy. You will pay for it. 

I pulled him on the couch. He tried to remove my hands from his skin. 

I slapped him tightly.

I am furious. He looked at me with disbelief. I leaned on him. He hugged his knees curling up in a ball. He tightly closed his eyes. I moved back.

I need to show him what I am and what I can do with him. I took out few ropes and blindfolds from my drawer. I dropped them on the table. And sat comfortably beside him. 

I pulled him up to my lap and made him sit there. He was about to get up but I wrapped my arm around his waist stopping him. I hold his both wrists on his back and tied a rope around them. I leaned to his ear.

Mallika: Oh sweetheart you shouldn't have done that.

He whimpered. Next I tied his legs after removing his shoes. He cried and cried. I held his jaw making him look at my face, mainly my eyes. I took blindfold from my other hand. He whimpered trying to remove my hand from his jaw. He thrashed in my lap.

His concentration shifted to me. Only me. As I made eye contact with him. I tied blindfold on his eyes from behind. He became so much scared. He went limp in my arms. Crying, regretting for all this happening with him.

I chuckled. He is totally in my mercy. I have done nothing and he is here terrified. I lift his head up.

Mallika: Now I want you to sit here quietly closing your mouth.

He sobbed and nodded in no. Ahh! He is here testing my patience. Fresh tears pound down his face.

Mallika: Aww! It's okay.

I spoke sweetly. Let me make him comfortable. I hold his legs and put them on the couch. I pulled him closer to me. I took a black blindfold.

Mallika: Baby close your mouth I promise it will be worth it. 

He didn't.

Mallika: Close your mouth.

I spoke sternly. He slowly tried to stop his sobs and cries. He pressed his lips in a thin line. I smirked and tightly tied that fucking black blindfold on his mouth covering his lips. The blindfold was a wider one. It covered somewhat his chin also. Never mind.

Mallika: Good boy.

I took off blindfold from his eyes. He flickered his moist eyes and looked at me. He was in grief. He thrashed in my lap.

Sumedh: Mmmmhhh! mmmhhh!🥺

Mallika: Quiet babyboy. I tied you so you can be quiet. But looks like it is not working. Do you want me to tie every limb of you?

His eyes widened.

Mallika: You know I can do it. Do you want to experience it? He immediately nodded his head in no.

Sumedh: Mmmhhhh!

Mallika: Then be quiet sweetheart.

I kissed his temple. Tear rolled down from his eye.

Mallika: You know why am I doing this to you?

He nods in no slowly.

Sumedh: Mhh!😢

Mallika: You tried to go away from me. That's a different matter that you failed miserably. But you tried. So from now onwards don't even dare to think of it. Okay?

Sumedh: Mmmhhhh!

He nodded in yes. I pulled him closer to me. I kissed on his nose tip. He closed his eyes tightly letting tears flow. 

Mallika: You know how much sexy you look with this black gag on you?

I spoke seductively. He tried to lean back. But how can he? He is in fully my control. Suddenly someone knocked. I groaned.

Mallika: Come in.

Krish came in. Sumedh looked at him with pleading eyes. Asking help from him. Krish looked down.

Mallika: Stop looking at him like that babyboy. He is not gonna help you in any way. And if he did, I will kill him with my bare hands.

He cried muffled. I pulled him more close to me.

Mallika: Speak.

Krish: Mam a important call you have to attend.

Mallika: At this time? Can't you see Am busy with my baby?

Krish: But mam the client is eager.

Mallika: Easy Cancel the deal.

Krish: But Mam this deal is of 'Agrawals'

I rolled my eyes.

Mallika: Fine. Call him.🙄

I looked at my baby. I cupped his face.

Mallika: Baby be completely quiet for sometime. Don't make any sound. Not even any muffled plea. Okay?

More tears rolled down from his eyes. He slowly nods.

Mallika: Good for you.

Krish: Mam here.

I took phone from his hand.

~~~~~~

After 20 minutes.

I cut the call. I handed the phone to Krish. My baby is not doing any movement. What happened? I shook him.

Mallika: Baby?

I saw he is asleep. Because of running he was tired. Let him sleep. I did nothing with him. He slept so soon. 

Mallika: Krish can't you come at any other time? My baby is asleep. My all efforts went in vain.

Krish: Sorry Mam, But Mam he is not sleeping

Mal: What do you wanna say? He is acting?

Krish: No mam he is not acting. He is not sleeping because he is faint.

Mallika: What!

Faint? I patted his cheeks. I shook him. But he didn't responded.

Mallika: Krish Untie him.

I untied his mouth and wrists while Krish untied his legs. He took my baby in his arms. He took him to the bed and comfortably made him lay.

Mallika: Krish leave.

He obeyed and went.

I laid beside him and hugged him tightly. I kissed his cheek and laid on his chest. I ran my hands through his hairs softly. My eyes became heavy. I slept.
