36-Forgive this old friend

CATHERINE'S P.O.V:

I came after taking a bath. Addar ate and I sent him to office. Life had been calm for me for two weeks. I felt like I was living now. Mom talked thrice in these two weeks.

I sat on the lawn while drinking coffee. I gave my father-in-law his medicines and started to immerse myself in cooking. I used to cook but now only I have been trying to cook.

It was time for lunch. I started to serve my father-in-law while I asked eagerly, "How is it uncle?"

He turned and I was shocked to see his sad face. He said sadly, "It's good but something is not."

He made me sit while he continued, "I didn't force you into marriage right?" I shook my head vigorously.

He said softly, "I wanted a wife for my son not a friend. As newly married you should be trying to impress him with your cooking but you are not."

He stood up and said, "Even worst cooks wants her husband to eat the food she cooked but you cook very well."

He walked a few steps and turned back, "Can you take this to him and make him eat?" He said that and started to walk without waiting for my answer.

I was left to my thoughts. I couldn't believe what I heard. Wife to Addar! What have I gotten myself into.

Ravichandran took my virginity. What can I do to make Addar special?  He doesn't deserve me.

I am just a low level girl who lost her virginity for this society while Addar is the darling of the society.

Food parcel was placed near me while I was walking to the car with it. I don't know what I am going to do.

I will be the worst wife. I was scared and ashamed of the danger which Addar's reputation faces because of me.

I never knew when I got into the car but I was in the car going to his office. I am just a left over in this world.

I brought disgrace to my family and as a wife I am going to bring to this family too.

My mind was jumbled while I reached his office. Before I could open my door, it was already being opened from outside by a guard who saluted me.

Everyone I saw were smiling or wishing me. All these are because, people know me as the girl who married Addar. What will all these people do when they know me as the girl who was a left over from Ravichandran?

I was stopped by a guard before his office while another came and said fastly, "Excuse me, She is Mrs. Abijah. She can meet Mr. Abijah anytime." Door was opened and I went in.

Addar was surprised to see me. He smiled widely while his personal assistant left us alone. He saw the carrier I was gathering and smiled.

He raised an eye brow, "Am I seeing the sight of Catherine bringing lunch to me?" I couldn't smile so kept the food near him and started to serve him.

He was eating silently but stopped to say, "You are good in cooking Catherine. You could have lived in a rental room if you had known to cook like this in college days. Hostel fees would have been saved."

Not just fees, my life would have been saved too.

He finished eating after which I packed to leave but was stopped by Addar who caught my wrist. He pulled me and made me stand between his legs. He said softly, "Is the purpose of your visit to show that your are upset?"

I shook my head while he cupped my cheeks and stroked it. I gave in to his warmth while he said, "Then wait, I will pack my stuff and then we can go home together."

I shook my head and kneeled down beside him. My voice was light, "You don't have to." I laid my head on his thighs and circled my arms around him.

He stroked my hair while saying, "Go home and lay down on bed. Sleep till I come home. I will wake you up then I will take care of you."

I smiled at him to make sure he thinks I am alright but I know I am not.

No one actually knows me.

I stood up and packed. I left the room when I got a call from my father-in-law. As soon as I attended it, I heard his voice, "Catherine, Can you buy something for me while you come back?"

I couldn't reject so I accepted. He gave me a list which I noted down. I asked the driver to head to reliance fresh.

While my mind went to my past experience of that store. My car was parked in reliance fresh while I went in with fear.

To my bad luck Driver took me to the same store where I was insulted.

I closed my eyes for a second and turned back against the store.

(A/N: I never use this word but some does so to make it realistic I did)

I was pulled out of my memories by a phone call. I opened my eyes to see Harini's name flashing in it.

I attended the call while keeping the phone at a distance as a protection against her shouts which was coming, "YOU CAME TO OFFICE AND SAW YOUR HUSBAND ALONE! WHAT A FRIEND!"

After she finished I asked calmly, "How did you know?"

I could feel her smirk in the words even, "Your husband is sad because his love is sad. So why are you sad Oh Addar's love?"

God! I made him sad too.

I said slowly, "I am at reliance fresh."

She exclaimed again, "OH YOU WOMAN! WE ARE WOMAN AND YOU ARE SCARED BECAUSE YOU ARE SHOPPING!"

I said in a slow whisper, "Last time I came here, I was insulted because of Ravichandran."

She lost her playful attitude which I could feel. She said more calmly than me, "You are not that Catherine anymore. You are wife of Abijah Addar. Just go and see. I will wait on the call."

I turned around and stepped inside after thinking for sometime. I closed my eyes the moment I stepped in.

I opened my eyes after sometime to see people smiling warmly at me. What a turnover.

I took a trolley and started to collect things as per the list. The moment I said Harini she replied, "Media and people have poor memory than Mr. Ghajini. Don't bother your past. No one knows it."

I thanked her and continued to purchase. Suddenly I was pulled into a room by a mysterious hand. Door was locked behind me.

I opened my eyes to see a well built 6 feet guy. I raised my voice for him and anyone else to hear me, "Who the hell are you?"

I was made to turn sideways due to a voice, "Forgive this old friend who didn't have a easy way to meet you."

It was Ravichandran. He didn't simply know my past but he is my past.

Ravichandran said calmly with his smirk, "How are you Catherine?"

I couldn't stop myself from shouting. I shouted out of fear as much as I can.
