The morning rays touched her face and she opened her eyes..Her body ached and muscles she didnt knew existed in her body created a terrible churn as she tried to move.Frowning her face she turned on other side when felt a hand on her waist.Her face stiffened and she closed her eyes trying to sleep.She wasn't unknown to the touch of a pair of hands making their way to the sheets tied neatly around her chest.It came down and she was hovered by a strong well built body.Within minutes she moaned and despite of her being in pain she knew she had to bear it.It was nothing new for her body and soul got used to it.She did not feel anything.

After a round of struggle Meenakshi was free from her husband's arrest.She gathered the sheets and was about to go to washroom when Suhaas stopped her by his hand.His grip was strong.She tried twice and then gave up.He started kissing her bare back planting feather kisses and let his lips rest on her collar bone for a while.He felt her not reacting to his touches.He moved her long hair on one side revealing her bare neck and pleasured her skin with his teeth.She hissed in pain as he marked her skin with a rage or unknown anger written on his face.

She clutched the bed sheet not being able to bear the pain.Suhaas carried her in his arms to the washroom and slammed the door with his legs.Rest was how the warm water ran down their bodies soothing the after effect of last night and morning's pain and pleasure.

Suhaas Sahae the roaring name in business world.A few years time and he became the top contenders of this business world giving competition to tycoons.Little would one know the real persona behind this hot dashing tycoon and the real motives of his achievements.He and his hard work dedication were involved but the back up had to be huge.Suhaas wasn't a normal guy or his limits were not up to being a simple rich cunning business tycoon.He was something more.More cunning ruthless merciless and a person with tendency to win over anything in life be it a deal a person's life body or heart.He was used to getting anything with a flip of finger now.He had his own share of story which he never preferred to reveal to anyone.

He was busy swimming from half an hour and no one was allowed in his private pool area except his people.He was resting now in his black shorts.He worked on his wet hair and had his shades on.He waved his hand at his right hand Raju who looked eager to talk about something.

S-"What is it Raju"

R-"I fear Rishi.Mr Khurana is playing a gamble with us.he promised us this deal then how can he step back from this now.allow me if I can.."

S-"Ah.this was the issue you wanted to talk about?you sure?"

Raju gave a I cant believe this look to his master and nodded.Giving a sly grin Suhaas continued swimming and after completing another lap he got busy with his drink.

R-"Rishi you cant be so calm.we have to do something cant let go of this deal what if"

S-"whats ifs whys they never exist in my dictionary and I bet you are not new to me either.are you Raju?"

Raju had his eyes set on the floor now.He can never underestimate his master he surely had some plans and his calm and cunning nature wasnt hidden from him.

S-"relax and go make sure preparations for the party are on.I dont want any issues this evening.Suhaas Sahae gives his best shot.in everything"

Raju made an exit before Mr Sahae got busy in checking time.He frowned his brows and tying the knot of his robe walked to his room.

Meenakshi was combing her hair sitting in front of her dresser.She was in her jeans and green sweater.It was getting cold in Malaysia and she wasnt liking this chill.Her mood swings were on a roll nowdays.Least she could bother  in working her mind on her dates for the month.She had other things to deal with.She was applying moisturizer on her hands when heard the door of her room.She knew it was him but paid no attention.

She could feel his anger.His face was calm and it was just the silence before the storm.Closing her eyes she felt herself pulled up from the seat and dragged by him.He was seething in anger.He got hold of her head from back and kissed her hard.No protest from her but no response.He asked her to open up pushing his lips forcefully and when she did not he bit her lower lips.She groaned alas giving into him and after satisfying himself with the kiss he left her.He had his head joined with hers.Both strived for breathe.He opened his eyes and stared at her.It was rare she gets to wander in those deep intense eyes.She avoids meeting them whenever they were close.Turning her eyes to other direction she diverted her mind.She does not want to remember her past.those memories haunting her.She is not same Meenakshi who cried over her fate.She only knew that.

S-"Didnt I asked you for a swim.I hate repeating my words you know that dont you.my dear wife"

Wife.she gave a sarcastic smile and faced him with a hard expression.He pulled her again to his chest this time he caught her wrist which winced in pain.He was stronger for her and she wont deny that but her mind was strong.And nothing could break her from inside.

S-"did you hear me?"

M-"hmm"

S-"then why didnt you.damn it.go change your clothes now.and come for a swim I cant wait whole day for this"

M-"I cant.now."

Her words were barely audible to him.or say he wasnt ready to hear her out.he asked her for something and he wants her to do that.that was his command or want from her.and she has to obey that.

S-"sorry?"

M-"I said.I cant.Iam on my periods.you still want me to come?"

It took him a second to realize her words and he smirked then.She was bold and fierce like a wild cat.Thats how he prefers her.not some shy stupid dumb woman who would obey his every word or command.He loves when she fights back.

Meenakshi felt a soft peck on her head and she frowned.He threw the pack of tablets on the bed and whispered to her.

S-"I hate this time of the month.."

He left for shower leaving her on bed.Her hand was on her abdomen as she moved uncomfortably on that sitting position.The pain was bearable with those medicines.what about the hidden scars and the pain that has been troubling her for three years now.That village that night the past life she led would never let her forget anything.She would curse her mind for getting back to those memories she despised now.Wish if this man had let her die a peaceful death only.

Swallowing the tablets she gulped the water and stared at her reflection in the mirror.Meenakshi Suhaas Sahae.thats her identity now.Can she relate to herself now no she stopped doing that long back.She was living a life with no hopes love likes dislikes or expectations.A robotic life with people around envying her for what she had and they dont.She smiled at herself sarcastically the tears breaking her from inside heaving her old wounds.She fell back on the bed crushing the glass on the floor remembering the cursed phase of her life.what changed her and how things changed for her.Why this man who was her husband now saved her from drowning that night 3 years ago and thats how her fate brought her here in Malaysia where she lives a different life now.

Business tycoon Vikram Kumar awarded as the youth icon of the year who works for well being of poor and contributes alot to the generation of the society.Claps could be heard in the hall as people made their way to meet the handsome man who had smirk on his face.In these years he earned what not name respect love from children who knew him now and elders.His family was proud of him.Deep down he was not able to meet his own eyes.he couldnt celebrate his success in these years or even today and the reason well.he could care less to discover it.

G-"Vikram.iam so happy for you.finally you reached your destination.this is what you deserved buddy.handful claps your name roaring.a beautiful wife whose soon going to give you heir.all are happy and settled now.come lets get a drink"

He sipped the drink and raised a toast for this new venture in his life with his best friend Arnob ghai who was with him and knew what has been going on his mind in last 3 years.Vikram cut the call for tenth time as Ghai passed him a look.

G-"must be your wife.why dont you share your happiness with her.she is part of your life now.Vikram.?"

Ghai knew the silence behind his friend's joyful and perfect facade of life.he had everything yet nothing.He does not want anyone to know about what has been going inside.he preferred showing off.he wanted to be a perfect son and husband and proved himself in doing that.but was he perfect from all means?

V-"Ghai.do you have some news.I mean I asked you to"

G-"you still want to know about her.come on Vikram you"

V-"Ghai.tell me about the case."

G-"last week Malaysia.Sahae group of companies took over another leading brand.they are at position 1 now.no one could stop this cunning man.money does everything.if only someone would get his hands at his real means.its all black money."

V-"you sure about that?"

G-"come one Vikram.you have been in this profession forever.dont give me that look.SUHAAS SAHAE leading top business tycoon.all this is a mere show off to hide his real illegal dealings.He had his roots from here we knew that in fact in your wedding."

Vikram closed his eyes and finished the drink.that day how can he forget and even if he wants to his mind would take him back by any means.he wonders of things have not taken place that day how he would have lived his life now.With Meena.he lived a better life maybe.His heart wants to see her.

G-"Vikram.sorry i didnt mean to.Ah.you want to see this.Nothing new though.Another show off party.but yeah one thing he has kept fishy.hidden his wife from media press. rare to catch a glimpse of her.Very few have seen her strange."

V-"Huh.whats there to catch.must be some illicit catch of his.who got lured by his money and name.no respective girl would dedicate herself to a man with no principle or self respect.im not interested in her.tell me when are we getting our hands on this tender.I want it at all cost.I cant let him win big this time."

G-"you think its easy?He is pretty settled there now and lives with a name said enough.It will be difficult this time.You better not try for such moves."

V-"Difficult.not impossible.and I will make it possible.you see to it."

G-"and what about the other mission?"

V-"??"

G-"Mission Meenakshi.you still searching for her?She is dead her village people informed us then why."

V-"dont know.there is something more to it.as of now.I have to look for alot of things ahead.I created enough mess.time to gather them"

At night he woke up from this nightmare.He found his wife beside him sleeping a peaceful sleep which he yearned to have for so long.The nights panicked him.He couldnt close his eyes and ask for sleep.He gets flashes of images scenes running in front of his eyes.Meenakshi's smile the innocence she had.she was naive.and he ruined it .Blaming fate or his own decision which lead to the ruins.

He washed his face and looked at himself in mirror.He ruined himself her happiness her life.will he be able to forgive himself for that?He does not deserve her forgiveness.if she died she died a peaceful death or painful?He never cared to ask about her until one day when he mustered courage and asked Ghai to.

He drank that night and continued till he had enough.His eyes got red and watery.he could hardly see anything except her smile.He watched her image and his hands were about to capture when she disappeared from his sight.

"Meena" he sighed.

Thats when he collapsed on the chair and last words that his ears could remember.

"I dare you to choose Mr Vikram.dont come on my way.I will let you go in ruins.Choose.wedding or this deal.choice is yours now but tomorrow.it will be mine.I dont want to get my hands dirty on your.would be wife.but only if you want"

V(with closed eyes)-"I made a choice.give me the deal.She is all YOURS."
