Randhir:

"Do you love me?"

Sakshi nodded in no. I smiled at her. She didn't understand why am I smiling instead of being angry at her answer. I again went near to her and started kissing her on the forehead, eyes and cheeks.

"Ple....please...lea...leave....me.."

I kept finger on her lips. I then turned her back and touched her back slowly with my fingers. She clutched her fist again. I kissed her.

"Do you love me, darling"?

I licked her back and placed kisses in between and caught her by placing my hand on her bare belly removing sari aside. I pinched it a bit romantically but not to hurt her.

"I love you so much. I can't live without you. Forgive me, please."

She said in a trance created by me by touching her romantically. I hugged her tightly from the back.

"This is what I want to hear from you. Why did you lie to me saying you don't love me? Answer me, Sakshi."

Due to my shouting, she opened her eyes and pushed me away. She went to the washroom and locked it.

I sat on a sofa remembering what she said just before and smiled for her confession. After sometime, I went to the room with a glass of milk for her. She is on the bed and looked at me.

"Have it. This is the milk with turmeric powder. You won't catch with cold. Fasting for one month and taking only liquids is really a bit too much of loving a person. Thank you. I love you too," I said.

I gave milk to her. She drank it in one go.

"Hey, it is hot. How could you drink like that? Falling in love with the one whom you loved once is strange yet a good feeling because he is none other than your husband. Today I understood how to make you confess the truth. Don't worry. Soon I will know the whole truth."

I placed a kiss on her forehead and laid beside her. She looked at me with surprise and shock.

"Won't you sleep, cutie?"

Sakshi immediately laid on the bed beside him and closed her eyes. She turned other side to hide her smile. I smiled and placed my hand on her and went close to her. I started breathing deeply near her back. I made shapes with my finger on her back. Sakshi shivered and clutched the fist. I kissed on her back.

"Good night, dear."

I left her and slept in my place. Sakshi smiled unknowingly.

"Good night."

"Tell me the truth, Sakshi. Why did you leave me?"

She didn't reply and I found her sleeping. I slept quietly.

"I know that you are not sleeping, Sakshi. I even know the reason behind you leaving me without even informing me. I can't trust you and never forgive you. You are not the one whom I loved. If I know your true colours before, I would never waste my love and emotions for you.

But whatever I want you and I just made you mine. Even if you beg me I won't forgive you. But it's true that I love you and now you love me too. Whatever, you can never fix a broken heart. Though you try, you will find only heart with cracks."

Next day, I got ready to the office. Sakshi came to me.

"Did you come to call me for the breakfast?"

"Ye...Yes."

"Don't you dare to lie to me, Sakshi. I know you didn't come for that."

"I..I..want to.....go out...to meet a friend. I will come soon."

"Ok. You can go. But only after completing all the household chores. Don't use the car. Give me your wallet."

She gave her wallet to me. I took all the money and cards from that wallet.

"Take this hundred rupees and go," I said.

"What?"

"You will understand the value of everything in life and the behaviour of your circle too when you have no money," I said.

She took the money calmly. I left to the office after having the breakfast. I didn't say anything to her and had it silently. Sakshi went out to meet her friend. I was going in my car and saw Sakshi near a ice cream parlour with Ajay. Ajay held her hands and both are talking and smiling. I clenched my fist and went to the home. I waited for her to come home from the afternoon. She came home at 8 PM. She was scared of me.

"You came so early?" I said.

"Tell me, dear. Did you meet your beloved friend? Do you mean that this is reaching home soon?"

"I...am...sorry."

"Shut up. Tell me where did you go? Who is your friend?"

"She is my childhood friend. Her name is Pinky," Sakshi said.

I smiled seeing her and kissed her on the forehead. She stood startled.

"Come, let's go to our room. I need to discuss a lot with you today, baby."

Her body started sweating but she silently followed me to the room.

Sakshi:

I went to our room following Randhir. I stood almost shivering. Randhir stood leaning to the wall keeping one leg on the wall. I didn't understand what would happen to me today.

"Come on. Tell me, darling. Where did you go? Whom did you meet?"

I stood silent because I already understood that he knew whom I met.

"Sakshi, don't make me angry. It's not that good for you. You know well that as you are my possession, I can do anything to you. You have no one here to save you from me."

Randhir came to me and twisted my hands turning them back and clutched them tightly.

"Please, leave me. It's hurting," I said.

"Exactly. Your behaviour is hurting me. Just tell me the truth, baby."

His nails grazed into my skin and blood oozed out. He further tightened his grip on my wrist. I shouted with pain as he squeezed the wounded wrist.

"Forgive me, please."
