Chapter-24
**Let's Mend Each Other**

Swara's POV:

Standing outside the door with coffee in my shaking hands, I heard Sanskar yell and curse. Not at me but at someone else. I wanted to know why he was so uneasy, but going in front of him at that time would have been dangerous. But I had to face him, I knocked on the door twice but no replies came. So I barged into the room. He was standing near the desk with a phone pressed near his ears and he was shouting at the person online. The files on the table were messed up, a lamp lying broken on the floor, and the chair was lying lifelessly alone in the corner of the room.

Had a tornado hit the room?

I eyed the room and his eyes eyed me and then the room. He was angry. But why was he always angry? He looked at me, and after some good glaring, he finally chose to speak.

"What are you doing here?" He was irritated.

"I.. uh.." no words came out of my mouth.

"What is this?" He groaned angrily at the tray in my hands. I saw his eyes, which scared me. A word that I was going to utter from my mouth and he was going to eat me alive. I needed to choose my words carefully.

"Coffee," I looked at him with a bit of courage.

"I don't need anything. Get lost from here," he yelled and pushed me out of the room while he closed the door on my face.

What the hell was wrong with that man? Last night he was kissing me and now he was back to being a jerk.

I was sure he had a twin who appeared at night. I meant, the one who appeared at night was sweet and the one who appeared during the day was scary. I liked the sweet one.

I sighed heavily while thinking about last night when he kissed me. I meant when we kissed. I thought he had changed, but no, he was the same bipolar human. Last night, I knew he was drunk, but still, he seemed to be in his senses.  

Did he kiss me under the influence of alcohol and now he was regretting it? Yes, that was the reason. If not, then why would he kiss me? It was clear that he hated me.

Whatever might be the matter, I had to talk with him and clear things out. I couldn't live with a person having a personality disorder.

Should I have gone and talked to him at the moment? Or should I have waited till night? But he changed his personality during the night. I decided that I should go and talk to him immediately. Now matter what, he would have to listen to me.

I mustered up the courage and walked to his room. My heart started filling up with immense pain and everything around me started suffocating. Suffocating like hell. Tears started to form in my eyelids. I was afraid of his reaction. What if his response broke my heart? I couldn't live like that. We were married and marriage was not a joke. I couldn't let him control my life. With a heavy heart, I knocked on the door but noticed that it was slightly ajar. I opened the door and entered inside.

"What part of, get lost, do you not understand?" he roared.

"I want to talk to you," I gathered some courage and spoke.

"But I am not interested in talking. Get out of here," he shot me a deadly glare.

"What's wrong with you? I can't live my life like this. I need closure," I spoke.

"Why do you always behave like this? Like a monster?" I asked.

Wow, Swara, you're definitely good at one thing, which is making him angry. Shit! Now, he would get angrier.

"Because I am a monster. Do you not remember you called me a monster one day?" he asked.

"But that was in the past. Now, things have changed. We are married," I said to him.

He was silent for a few minutes, making me think that he had no answer. But then he chose to speak.

"Did you forget that I am your rapist?" he asked. The pain was evident in his eyes.

Is this man for real?

"I know you did not rape me that night. Kabir told me this before our wedding, and this is why I want to give our marriage a chance," I told him.

He cursed something in a very low tone.

"Fine. Now, I am sure. It's clear that you hate me. Kabir was wrong when he said that you- " I was interrupted by his voice.

"Did that fucker tell you what I feel about you?" he questioned.

"Why will he tell me this when I know that you hate me?" I was hurt.

"I do not hate you," his voice was blank.

Who was he kidding? I was not dumb.

"Then what is Kavita doing here? Why is she living with you?" Just the mention of that stupid Kavita is enough to angry the crap out of me. Now, I didn't care if he got angry.

"You know what? I have had enough of this. I can't tolerate your nonsense anymore. It was you, Sanskar, who destroyed my life. It was you, Sanskar, who blackmailed me. It was you, Sanskar, who made me homeless. It was you, Sanskar, who made my character be questioned on national television. It was you, Sanskar, who forced me to marry you. It was you, Sanskar, who destroyed my life," tears were flowing from my eyes. I fell on the floor crying. He came forward to wipe my tears but I jerked his hands.

"Why do you treat me like a slut? You think you can kiss me whenever you feel like doing so and ignore me after that? Did you marry me only to satisfy your lust? I want to know why you married me if you feel nothing for me. If even after what you did to me, I can accept this marriage then why can't you?" I couldn't control my emotions anymore.

"Look, you had your fun with me. You mentally tortured me and did everything you wanted. If you can't accept this marriage, then you have to let me go," I told him.

"You are not going anywhere," he stated.

"But why should I stay?" I asked.

''You are my wife," he said.

Damn this bipolar man!

"Why can't you put effort into this marriage? Why?" I yelled at him.

"Because I don't deserve you," he said while looking at the floor.

But why?

"I am your wife and this fact will never change," I said while wiping my tears.

"You have no idea what I feel for you. It's not easy for me. You don't know anything," his voice was broken.

"Then tell me everything, I am here to listen," I cupped his face

"Swara, you are too good for me. I'm tainted. I am a monster and you don't deserve a monster. You deserve a far better person than me. A person who will love you, not like me, who always hurts you. I feel so many things for you, Swara, but I know you will never be happy with me. We can never have a good future. I don't deserve you, Swara. Please don't fight for me," his eyes were moist.

"Once, I read somewhere that the person who thinks that he doesn't deserve you is actually the one who deserves you. Try, Sanskar. Please try. Give us a chance," I was still cupping his face.

"Do you want to know what I feel for you?" he asked, looking into my eyes.

Not being able to say anything, I just nodded my head in the  affirmative.

"Do you remember the first time we met at my office? Your smile stole my heart. For the first time, I apologised to someone. Every time I see you, my heart swells in happiness. I am a stupid, I'm not familiar with this unknown feeling that I've for you. I know I gave you pain and made you cry but it was my way to keep you closer. You changed my whole life. Your arrival brought happiness and colours in my life. You taught me how to smile no matter what happens. I don't want to let you go. I know I'll ruin you, yet my heart wants to cage you forever with me. My feelings for you are true and will always remain the same. You are the best ever thing that happened to me and even the thought of losing you gives me pain. You have made a deep impact on my life. I know I don't love you yet but I know I am falling for you," he said, cupping your face.

"What about Kavita?" I was still jealous.

"Kavita does not mean anything to me. It's you who means the whole world to me. I admit that we have fucked each other many times but that was before you came into my life. I promise I haven't touched her since our wedding. I might be a bastard but I will never deceive my wife," he said, wiping my tears.

"And let me tell you a little secret, dear wife," he whispered in my ears.

"Although Kavita stays in my room, I spend most of my nights in your room, watching you while you sleep. And you look very cute when you get jealous," he said, kissing my forehead.

What the actual hell? He spent his nights watching me sleep? Did he hear me snore?

"I am not jealous," I said, rubbing my forehead where he just kissed me.

"Yes, you are jealous," he again kissed my forehead.

Then he did something which I never expected from him. My jaws dropped as my eyes widened when I saw Sanskar lowering himself to his knees in front of me. And there he sat, on his knees, kneeling down

"What are you doing?" I was clueless as to why he was doing that.

He locked his gaze with mine and held my hands.

"I'm here to ask for your forgiveness. I'm sorry for hurting you, making you cry, and for being the cause of your tears. I was a jerk then, but I am still a jerk. I have many issues, Swara. I get angry very quickly and in my anger, I hurt people without even thinking. I doubt people very often. I can't trust anyone easily. I always drink alcohol. I never respect anyone. But today, I promise you, my dear wife, I will work on all these issues and try to be a better person only for you, Swara. I am already falling for you. I want to spend my entire life with you. Will you forgive me and be with me forever?" he asked.

"Yes, I forgive you," I reassured him.

Sanskar mumbled something and kissed my forehead.

"Let's mend each other," he said while imprisoning my lips with his. Every cell in my body came alive; every nerve ending was ready to burst with happiness. We pulled away after a while, his breath fanning my face. Then he burst out laughing at what I said.

"I want Kavita out of this house."
