 Part- 11 - Vengeance 

Arti adjusted herself over the carpet and closed her eyes. That darkness did not scare her anymore because she was assured by his presence around. She supported her head over her arm and soon dozed off.

~~ Next Morning~~

He was up before his usual time and came down in his tracks. He went to the main door to take an exit just the last night's encounter with Arti struck his mind, turning around, he found her lying on the carpet next to the couch. It was 5:30 in the morning; hence the room was palely lit with the half rose sun. He could listen to her soft snores and couldn't stop himself to walk close to her. His eyes observed her from her head to toe. She was sleeping like a baby covering herself fully with a sheet she had last night. He noticed that she didn't even have a pillow which pinched his heart.

Moving closer to her face, the sweat beads were visible over her forehead and he realised that he himself was sweating as the temperature in the room was high which made him look up at the ceiling fan to check whether it was working but to his surprise it was off. He rolled his eyes in sarcasm. How foolish that girl was? She was trying to save his electricity bill which was nothing to him compared to his wealth and this reason appeared funny to him which automatically brought smile to his lips. He went to the switch board and switched on the fan. Soon he saw her sweat beads getting vanished and her body getting more relaxed. He also noticed, despite the heat in the room, she still had covered herself with a sheet, one of her old habits, might be. He smirked and walked out of the house without disturbing her.

That morning too he had preferred to jog in his own premises. His gaze was still stuck at the servant quarter. His gaze was transforming into a glare with each passing lap, just glaring at the quarter. What was bothering him about those two rooms set? Indeed he wasn't happy with that building. After finishing his 20th lap, he wiped off his sweat and pulled out his mobile from his track's pocket and dialled a number and, "hello, get your men here, I want to get the servant quarter removed by this evening," he said smirking at the building and hung up the phone.

WHAT! He demolished the whole building! WHY? For Arti! No way! Something sort of a vengeance, but against a building...for a maid! Quite difficult to believe it, isn't it!

After finishing his jog, he came inside with his jaw clenched. Indeed he was angry and wanted to destroy everything. He saw her still sleeping. He looked his watch which showed 7:00 AM. He walked near her and the first thing he noticed her skinny body structure yet she was so beautiful – this fact was undeniable. She was fair, her hair, her eyes and her sharp facial features – if she wasn't a maid's daughter, he would have definitely married her. Oh, wait! He had already married to her but...that was just a deemed marriage, not an actual marriage, which held no meaning to both of them. But what did he do with her innocence which used to make him forget everything in this world?

Indeed he was stuck!

After spending nearly 5 minutes, he struck those thoughts off his mind and came back to the reality.

"Arti!" he called out, resisting himself not to touch her.

She just moved a little and slept again which made him scowl.

"ARTI!" he almost screamed.

"Maa! Why are you screaming? Please let me sleep for 5 more minutes," she yelled and twisted to the other side covering her face fully with the sheet. In her deep slumber, she didn't realise that it was him who was making her awake instead of her mother.

He upped his one eyebrow and pouted his lips in response. A few minutes ago, he was boiling with anger and now all he wanted was to laugh out louder at her innocence. There was no harm in granting her 5 more minutes of sleep, he thought to himself and came to the kitchen to fetch himself a water bottle. He granted her this small wish of her and was happy about it.

He was marching near her, waiting those 5 minutes to end.

After 5 minutes, he was marching...

After 10 minutes, he was marching...

After 15 minutes, he was marching...

She didn't even move an inch. He had had enough by then. His stomach was growling with hunger, all he needed was food. Moreover, he was an early riser – early to bed, early to rise was his one of the mottos of life.

After around 20 minutes, he was marching...gathering strength to break her beautiful slumber.

After around 30 minutes of struggling with him, he finally went to her and called out her name loudly which broke her slumber and she sat up with a jerk. Her body was trembling and when she looked around, she was shocked to see herself in his house. She was dreaming herself in her home in her village and he broke that dream.

"For how long are you going to sleep? " He snapped.

"Ssorryyy! Sahab, I...I...", she looked down in guilt. Her heartbeat was fast and her eyes were moist again.

Another bad morning for her!

"Get ready fast, also move all your things here. "

She frowned looking at him, pushing her hair behind her ears in total confused.

"Don't look at me like this, just do as I say."

She looked down again and nodded. She went out to her quarter immediately. She found his tone very rude and humiliating. Why did he have to insult her all the time? She asked to herself. No one had talked to her like that ever before. She wasn't habitual of taking orders from anyone, but...

She got ready quickly and came to his wing. She stepped inside the kitchen and cooked breakfast for him. He came down after getting ready for the office. She served him the food and he looked at her. Her eyes were puffy as they were sleep deprived. She was still fatigued as the work there was so much that she was not able to do it all alone.

"Have you shifted your things to that room? "

She shook her head.

"Why?"

"Actually, I had to make breakfast for you, so..."

"Do it now, "he said looking at her.

She nodded and went to the quarter, she started assembling her things. The quarter was 50 meters away from his wing. She took 4 rounds to keep her things there. She was drenched in sweat and was very tired. She hadn't eaten anything since morning and was just working.

Akash was still there in the house. He was noticing each and every move of her. After keeping all her stuff in the new room, she came to the kitchen and prepared herself a cup of tea and pulled out some biscuits from the drawer which she kept for herself. They were cheap ones which were affordable to her. She sat on the floor at the corner of the kitchen, dipped those biscuits in the tea and started eating them. She was feeling very low and couldn't stop her tears come out. She was trying hard to stop her sobs but couldn't. Akash was passing by and saw her sitting on the floor; he walked close and saw her crying – his heart wrenched. She wiped her tears and was looking down, slowly sipping that tea. He wanted to step inside and ask, what was wrong? But didn't...

So people, that was it. Hope you all have liked it. Please leave your precious reviews below.
