Chapter 20

Sanjana's pov:

               Stressed! I am totally stressed! I have been house arrested by Surya for these past few days. He's not ready to listen me. I don't want to live with him, I can't live with a bloody Mafia it's dangerous for my daughter.

      Whenever I tried to argue with him he leaves the house and I feel slowly I am losing my daughter to him. Nowadays she is spending most of her time with Surya. I am scared.... If I didn't stop all this, then I will loose my daughter to him. I can't let that happen... Never.

     
        " What? Is that so..., you should have been careful Shekar... OK then I'll call you back. " Surya was talking to someone over his mobile.

        He then made a call again, within an hour a package delivered and his maids started to assemble the parts. It's a small  kid gate for the stairs.

            I gave a questioning look to Surya, he told me " You know what Sanju, one of my friend's daughter fell down from the stairs and broke her leg, we can't take chances with our Kavya. " blood drained from my face 'my Kavya' no Surya she is mine only my daughter.

            " Suya...!" Came running my little daughter, Surya caught her in his arms and they started to play.

God help me!

          I didn't utter a word to him because he will jot understand instead waited for a good opportunity. Later on I fed lunch to Kavya, she insisted playing with Surya after her lunch.

          "Shut up Kavya... You are so annoying these days, be a good girl and take your afternoon nap. Don't irritate me. " I felt sorry for shouting at my angel, her face became red and eyes pooled, I never raised voice on my daughter. It's all because of you Surya... I hate you.

              My Kavya got down from the chair and went to her bed with a sad face. I controlled my tears.

               "Are you insane women? Why are you shouting at my daughter? " he screamed at me.

        
              "Excuse me... She is my daughter... Do you get that, she is mine. You don't have any relationship with her. " he gave me a knee wobbling glare but I am not gonna back off this time.

             "Do you have any idea about what rubbish you are talking Sanjana? " he took steps close to me.

            "I know very much what I am doing and which part of my language is difficult for you to understand? I don't want to live with you.... Leave me and my daughter alone.... "I shouted on top of my lungs. I never raised my voice on Surya but now I have to.

            "Leave you both alone! It sounds so simple but in reality its not. You know how much stress and tension I have gone through these past three years...? I missed my wife and daughter damn it, I missed three precious years of my daughter's childhood. And you kn-" I didn't let him complete.

             "Shut up....! Just shut the hell up Mr. Surya. Stress.... You are talking about stress to me.

     I'll tell you what's stress,

              I loved a man with my life and married him, I came to know he is a freaking Mafia after a week I delivered his baby. I felt my sky fallen down that's stress.

                  I kept quiet and tried to accept my husband but with in days I got an anonymous call threatening they will kill my husband. I felt my happiness shattered that's stress.

                         When I told him about it he was so careless and after few days the threat was on my new born daughter's life. The feeling to protect my baby knowing I cannot do anything killed my soul and that's stress.

   
                       I told about the threat to my husband while he cared to foot about his daughter's life. When I asked him to choose between his work and us he picked his work throwing me like a used battery killed the love I had for him, I felt useless by then and that's stress.

                I ran far away from him with my baby girl to save her life and tried hard to find a job. Survival of a single mother with a born baby wasn't easy Mr. Surya... 

                 I didn't take a penny from you, I searched like a dog for a job to meet my daughter's expenses. During lunch hour I couldn't swallow my food thinking whether my baby had her food or not ripped my heart out. That's stress.

                        My baby cried for me till her throat became dry when I left her with an unknown caretaker during my work hours. The mother in me wanted to throw everything and run to my daughter but I couldn't that's stress.

               When I asked a day off from my superior to take care of my daughter who fell sick, he demanded me to.....me to sleep with him. " I sat on the floor crying, my heart is paining like crazy while reliving the past. These are just few moments of my terrible life.

        "That's stress Surya, That's called Stress, something you cannot imagine. The only mistake I have done in my life was loving you ." I continued crying.

              He stood like a stone with clenched fists and red eyes. A tear escaped his eyes and in no time he was sitting infront of me.

             "I am sorry! " great... So he thinks his sorry can change everything I have gone through, and erase my pain.

         His grip on me tightened and he told " I Love You " these three words were a little successful to wake up my love. But I am stubborn.

      "Leave me... " I screamed.

        "Please don't leave me love, I will die without you. " told him crying. I found my senses block and before I could register his words darkness consumed me.

Siya's pov:

               After blasting my dad for taking alcohol I came out and saw Arjun waiting for me near his car. I went to him while he opened the door for me. I closed it and walked pulling him along with me.

        "Siya what are you doing? " he asked me.

        "Remember you aren't a billionaire today. And this day of yours is mine, you gave it to me. Live my life for atlest a day without getting angry. " I told him and he didn't utter a word.

             We went to the main road and I got an Auto rickshaw  " I need to go to Anna Nagar, how much money you demand? " I questioned him.

        "Rs.300 Madem. " he told me casually.

        "What 300 Rs for Anna Nagar don't you think its too much. " I fought with him and found another auto driver.

        "Rs. 350 for Anna Nagar. " told him.

          "What's this are you guys for real this is too much. " I scolded him and tried to find another Auto.

        "Siya... Its fine, it's just Rs 300"  told Arjun making me glare at him.

         After 15 minutes we got the auto for  RS 250 and started to Anna Nagar. This is so funny to see Arjun sitting in the auto with his big frame. He is struggling and I am enjoying his discomfort.

         "Stop laughing Siya! " I snickered but controlled my laugh.

         We reached our destination and I asked him to get down. I went inside STYLE ONE and started to select outfits for him. I was busy with the cloths and he was busy looking at me. I took a white T-shirt and blue ripped jeans.

        "Change this Arjun. " I ordered him.

       "I am comfortable Siya." Told my idiot.

       "Arjun I am really glad when you asked your driver to get you cloths but are you mad to wear this suit of yours? You are with me and not going to any board meeting. So do what I say! " with that I pushed him into the trial room and waited outside.

      He came out and took my breath away, all I could think now is.....I am Very Lucky... My God! This man is a Greek god. I kept looking at him then came to reality when he snapped his fingers in front of me.

           I blushed when he raised his eyebrows teasingly, after that selected a coolers for him before leaving the shop.

Arjun's pov :

              This is not me, the reflection in the mirror is someone else, he looked like the most happiest man in the world.

           We left the shop and again Siya started to fight with the auto drivers finally we reached the destination. It was a very crowded road with less vehicles and many people there were many shops in the streets.

          "Arjun I'm hungry! Let's have food. " she told me and dragged me to a small hotel by my arms my breath hitched everytime she held my hand. I feel real.

        We sat on the table and she ordered " Anna... Get me Mini idly and Sambar sprinkle some raw small onions over it. After that a Masal dosa with ghee then after ten minutes get me a plate of Pongal make sure you add lot of cashews in that. Place your order Arjun. " she told me but I kept looking at my angle in awe, I know she has got a good appetite but I wonder how she has got this godly body of her's? If someone else eat like her I'm sure they'll look like a balloon.

       I have to earn atleast to feed my wife properly.

         I looked her from top to bottom and that triggered 🇦 strange want through out my body. "Arjun.... Place your order!" Yelled my angel bringing me back to world.

         "Huh..., Get me a Ghee Dosa. That's it. " I told the waiter he left the table and reached halfway then shouted Siya "Anna.... Don't forget to bring Vada with the idly make sure the food is hot! "

          "Arjun, you know what I used to have my breakfast here whenever I come to shop. They'll be amazing and.... " she was telling me somthing and kept looking at her mesmarized.

        "Are you listening man? "She asked and I took her hands in mine and kissed her fingers. I didn't know what made me do that but I kept doing it.

          She withdrew her hand and her face resembled beetroot "People might watch Arjun." she told in a low tone.

        "So what? I'm kissing my wife, I have all rights and I have certain others things to do in private, so it's fine if they watch me kissing just your hands. " blood rushed to her face. We finished our breakfast and started shopping.

      Trust me, I walked, walked and walked, I might have covered atleast 100 km. Siya loves shopping, she loves cloths, ornaments but not the costly ones but the ones which are cute and stole her heart.

        "How much is this bangle brother? " asked her.

       "Rs.60 madem. " told the seller.

       "No No... Give me for Rs.50, come on brother don't cheat me." After bantering for a while she got it for the price she demanded.

          "Siya...! You should have gave him that money. How much you are gonna save fighting that poor man? " I asked her.

          "Arjun... Try and understand. You are right, I'm not gonna save much but every particular thing has got it's own exact worth. We can buy the bangle for the money he demanded because we can afford it. But what if someone struggling for money wished for the same stuff and couldn't afford the price? Just because we gave in for the amount he told us the seller will again demand the same with the others who might cannot afford it. Stop spoiling others happiness is better than helping others. " she told me and walked off.

   She's right and my decision to make her my life isn't wrong!

          We shopped till evening I called my driver and sent all the shopping bags with him. She wanted to visit beach and hence I'm standing here in this soothing sand under my feet.

        We started walking while having our ice creams. There was complete silence. We saw few people dancing in the beach before I could realize Siya ran there and started dancing with a kid, kidnapping me of my own sense. This girl will be the death of me.

       I was watching her, she called me but I couldn't dance. After a while she came to me panting and snatched the half molten ice cream from my hand, started eating it.

              "That was great! Why didn't you come? " with that she sat on the sand along with me.

            "I'm not comfortable Arjun, I need something to lean on." I didn't say a word but pulled her to my chest.

          Her back was pressed to my front and her head on my chest facing the dancing waves... This is bliss. I want this throughout my life. It started to rain soon all the people started to leave the place.

            We didn't move an inch and in the same position enclosing our fingers together "How was your day with me Arjun? I hope I didn't bore you. " asked her but I was concentrating on the lucky rain drops which fell on her head and slowly made the way to her neck, then vanished into her cloths... Lucky rain! I never experienced this pull ever in my life. I wanna have her now.

          "Arjun... " she called me again.

       "If this is normal life then I wanna live it Siya.. I wanna live this life with you. I feel my heartbeat, I realize my breathing. I could see the good things around me. This one day is not enough for me Siya.. I want you till my death. " her tears mixed with the rain but I'm successful in finding it.

                 My eyes shifted to her soft plump lips which is so inviting for me to ravish, my hands went around ger waist, our eyes locked, both of us started to reduce the distance. Suddenly a loud thunder cracked making Siya to flinch and hug me tight.

        "Siya... Are you OK? " she was trembling and shaking. "I... I'm astraphobic... " she clutched me hard.

          "I didn't get you love." I told her.

          "I'm sca..red of thunder." I scoped her with my arms and started walking to a safest place.

              "I will protect you from everything and anything Siya. I will not let a feather to touch you." I pecked her forehead and told while carrying her.

     I can't stay away from her anymore, I need to talk to her dad and get married with this lightning angel to drain the darkness of my life.
