ps. it was for our beloved @geethu_sweetie28. i didn't wrote for her birthaday . so compensating. and the story i wrote , i started it from few weeks ago and let it hanging . so i am not sure how much my mind changed and theory changed. hope you like it because it was the type which i attempted first time in my life. happy reading . as usual proof reading too.

" spilt up personality related to multiple personalities disorder; but not disambiguation. A little bit difference is there. The person having disambiguation may have severe psychological problems; but changing personality and forgetting things is not quite accurate. So as a doctor I think Mr Sumit Saxsenawas not involved in those murder case; its just some assumptions to trap him. I am confident about him because I knew him from decades and i never saw him to harm a creature like ant too. Plus he is known for his shy and easily scared nature.", completed Amit his statement in session court with a great confidence.

" Thanks doctor Amit for giving your clarification. You can back to your seat now", said Lawyer Monica and looked forward to judge after her final statement and went back to her seat, waiting for hearing. It was one of the most important case in her life, which she wanted to win at any cost. After a moment when hearing ended, she had a sigh of relief though she didn't win completely ; but she was able to save Sumit, her client from going prison. Rather Sumit was sent to Rehab for treatment where Amit was head psychiatrist. But she had to caught real culprit behind the mess , before next session start; otherwise Sumit would be sent behind bars.

Sumit was taken into van, he was looking surrounding with a lump of fear in his eyes. He was scared to hell what would happen to him, while Monica went to him and held his hand with assurance. He smiled now and eased. Amit came near to them," don't worry. Nothing will happen to him, believe me."

Monica replied," thanks Amit for your twisting confident statement. Else my husband would have sent to prison. Please take care of him."

Before leaving Rehab centre she hugged Sumit ," don't worry, I'll protect you from every bad omen. Have faith on me." She looked Sumit with love while he only smiled, but a sad one.

Sumit caressed her cheek and replied shyly," take care of yourself, I'll not be there ; so be careful." Monica smiled as he talked after a long 26 hour. But she marked Sumit's eyes were bit shaded darker and his other hand was clenched as a tight fist and he was trembling. She followed his hard stare behind her fall on a ward boy. She immediately cupped his face in her hand and made him look at her ; placed a chaste kiss on his forehead. He become calm and nervous like before. Monica left after few moments.

In morning rehab members found that ward boy had severely injured, mostly his eyes were affected. It was hard to say if he could able see further or not; though his pulsations said he was alive. Amit came running to check , accidentally his eyes fell on Sumit who was sneaking from half open door ; he could see the unusual strange vibes in him, it's like his dark persona came out as he was smiling cunningly. Amit remembered when he met Sumit at past in such kind of situation where his behaviour was complete opposite to recent.

                                                                          ********

It was fall season , as usual calm and quite evening in outskirts of hill station city. Amit was busy reading a recent article published on psychology, in his phone. His ears up hearing a crying sound. He went to the direction following the sound and saw a guy of his age was crying and begging help when some of localities stood unaffected. His eyes were swollen, t -shirt ripped, little blood smear on his lips. Peoples whispered among themselves that he was in that situation in the process of saving a blind oldman crossing the road. As a psychiatric student that time, Amit easily saw his depression and sadness behind those deep eyes. He wanted to help him , give a crying shoulder to him. He sat down to his level and put his hand on his shoulder with assurance; that gesture made him calm down. Amit asked caringly," what's your name? Where do you live? Tell me, I can help you."

" I can tell you my name, but I don't want to go back. I am Sumit.", he replied hesitatingly with a little bit of fear clouded in his eyes.

Before they could proceed further, a luxurious car parked in front of them, two persons came out and asked Sumit to get in. They were looking like guards, but as far Amit looked Sumit was looking like a horrified kitten who didn't want to get in , yet he had to because he had no other options available. Sumit looked Amit with a pleading eye , like his all faith was on him to rescue him. Amit couldn't understand but felt a strong empathy toward this new stranger.

Amit become disturbed after the incident, thought to share that with his long time friend and love interest Monica who was studying law , final year student at same university. To his surprise Sumit was present with Monica at cafeteria. Amit marked a different demeanour of Sumit, how happy and contented he was looking? But as far his notice Monica was talking normally with him, nothing unusual, so he guessed they met recently , as no deep connection between them. But for Sumit it was looking like a big difference, the way he adored her in his eyes , his actions said how much he cared for her. His eyes never left her view for a second. Amit thought " strange" and went to greet them.

Sumit recognized Amit and thanked him for previous day. He seemed lost again when Monica hugged Amit to greet him. It got more worst as their conversation proceed. Amit noticed as time passes Sumit depressed more and finally went away excusing himself despite Monica's insist; but his lost nature showed his loneliness completely and the way he freaked out easily, made him think about him more.

" He is strange!! I don't why ; but after seeing him I felt for him. ", Amit mumbled. He looked Monica," By the way when did you meet him and became friends? You didn't say me about him?" He made a funny gesture as if his complaint was serious.

Monica smiled at his antics," nothing serious like you thought. I met him at one of my professor's client meeting, a month ago. Sumit was injured and fainted one corner of room there. The mansion belong to one high society people who happened to be his older brother who didn't seem to care about Sumit at all. I just didn't know why, but I just treated him with some basics. Later I found he was a MBA student from our university. From then he came to meet me sometimes. That's all."

Amit sighed in relief for the moment as nothing serious was there. But he couldn't be at ease anymore. Somewhere he felt the intonation of Monica showed how curious she was to find about Sumit more and in that case she was the one who had most compassionate nature. It was human nature once they were curious, they bent in that direction more which took them to another level.

As time passed by Monica pulled toward Sumit more, being curious. His mysterious demeanour, always behaving like scared kitten made her attention completely drawn toward him. Why he was like that? When he had everything from money to look? Then why? Slowly her mind to heart began to try uncover the hidden things. For her it become true what Amit doubted much before. Her curiosity on Sumit Paved a way to her heart for him for her compassionate nature.

One day she was returning home late night, accompanied by Amit who was genuinely concerned for her. When they both reached at Monica's room, they saw Sumit was sitting in front of her doorstep by crossing his legs with face hovering down on knees. His face was not visible ; but his shaking form told them his unfortunate tales. She ran to him and put her hands on him gently making sure he wouldn't startled. Amit knew clearly he had no chance now. Though he was sympathetic to Sumit ,but as a guy his jealousy wouldn't stop internally. According to him he had more right on Monica rather than sumit ; but fate and Monica both chosen Sumit over him ,giving him no chance. He asked irked , " does he stalk you now?"In reply Monica glared Amit ; so he stopped.

Sumit raised his head after feeling a soft hand caressing his head with affection. He saw Monica and a smile of contentment danced on his face until he noticed Amit. Both Monica and Amit noticed ,Sumit face has some red mark of fingers with little bruises , dried lines of tears clearly visible on his face. It was as if he was abused physically, more than that Monica felt he was emotionally exploited, harassed mentally which made her feel his pain. She hugged him and patted him affectionate to ease his pain. Amit too stunned seeing him like this and forgot about his jealousy and accompanying Monica in process to console Sumit. He felt , it was Sumit who needed not only Monica ;but alsohim, more than anyone. That might be his pity or sympathy toward Sumit, but he was true in that context.

Later when Amit was preparing coffee, Monica was busy wiping Sumit face. She was thinking who might be do such things with this poor guy. Her nerve was at its peak by getting hyper ; ready to explode at anytime. Amit came with three coffee mugs. Sumit smiled looking at him and mumbled a sorry for his inconvenience. Monica threw the towel and asked ," though I never wanted to interfere in other' s personal life; but you are not any other for me. We are a family now, like Amit. Can't you open up with us? Aren't we important in your life?"

" yes ! You are very important for me and I don't consider you my part of life , because you are my life now.", exclaimed sumitinnocently.

" oh really! But I don't see your voice match with your actions. Do I seem like a fool?", she replied sarcastically.

" In any way , I decided to tell you everything today. The thing I heard today, why I am abused without any guilt of mine, I think I get it now.", his pain evident tone calmed down Monica suddenly.

Both Monica and Amit become more active now , as if they were waiting to hear that from him directly. Why he was so much scared and having inferiority complex, when he possessed such huge property with his killer look. Sumit first looked hesitant ; but assurance signsfrom Amit and comfort from Monica made him open up easily. What he told the summary they got was very torturous.

" Sumit was only son of his parents who loved him ardently. But he never knew it was his father who faked his concerns for his mother and him, because his mother had power over property. He only married his mother for property. He was married from before and had other son from his first wife. When he and his other son Dev got to know ,they couldn't get any power and property in that house ,until his mother's death ; they murdered her. He was 10 , so he couldn't figure out anything. But fortunately his mother was more clever than them, might be she aware about their greediness ; she already made a power of attorney on Sumit, transferring her whole property on his name by stating , until he sat on his CMD position in company, he couldn't transfer his property or if anything happened to him, whole property would divided among company employees. So that's why they were bound to give him proper education as per requirement of CMD position. But ; the limit he was abused physically and mentally only he knew. They beat him, punish him, without any reason and made him scare to that extent ,so he would obey them without any complaint. And it worked perfectly till yesterday until he heard their conversation by chance to know what actually happened and whom he considered his father and brother were fake; to that he was going to face same fate like his mother after transferring everything on their name. He was beaten up to death for protesting and giving back first time. Without having any place to go or no trustworthy person for him to after thrown up from home, he ended up here."

This time Amit was first who went to him and hugged him tight , that means he was always there for him, no matter what happens. Monica was silently trembling with anger. Because she saw the level of fear in sumit, the painful marks and his helplessness. She wanted to smack those people immediately. Finally she was composed after long pause and said , " now you should stop worrying. We will be with you always ; but in exchange we want you to stop underestimate yourself. You are strong and you can do whatever you want. No need to be afraid of anyone from now on; because you have us now. Okay.", she ended up her sentence like planting a fire on wood, who would be ready to burn after few moments.

After that day luckily there was a bit improvement in sumit's behavior. He tried to become little strong, though it was not a complete one day transformation considering the rate of his fright. Days passed on and Amit , Monica were doing well in their respective field. Fortunately or unfortunately , Monica ended up with a legal case regarding sumit's company ,for which she won the case for Dev. It was the time when his lust and attraction went on her like magnet pulling iron. Nevertheless after he met up with her on name of work and proposed her to work for their company law firm. She politely rejected offer. After knowing his true identity she spoke to Sumit , " looks like stalking was in your blood. Your so called cheap brother was after me from few days."

That was the first time Monica noticed an unusual change in Sumit's behavior. His hard stare showing some darkness unlike frighten look he carried always. He held Monica tightly , " did he do anything to you? Are you alright?" The change in his voice modulation made Monica sent numb. She shook him to show she was alright and nothing gonna happen with her as she was strongest one. After few chit chat they parted their ways.

Later Monica discussed the sudden changes in Sumit with Amit. He didn't take it seriously and advised her not to worry. But only stated about his defense mechanism which was in hibernation due to fear in childhood might woke up for sudden safety and care for his loved one.Monica looked at him confused, while Amit diverted her by throwing a tea party idea. He just prayed god in his mind it shouldn't be the sign of any psychological transformation.

After few days suddenly Sumit proposed Monica to marry him, which obviously startled her; but there was no reason to deny it. As always Monica wanted a court marriage and simply taking garland exchange in front of deity and promise to be with forever by protecting each other; sumit did according to her wish. Amit become a witness in everything. In all those process he was closely watching Sumit. God knew for some reason he became tensed, and request Monica to take care of Sumit with more love and care without arising any suspicion. She thought might be he concerned for Sumit more than her, which pleased her.

Dev was happy after returning from business trip that Monica joined their corporate firm, unaware the fact that she was there only because of Submit. He ran to her ,congratulating her with buttering. When he tried to touch her hand, she took it away by saying thanks. He smiled cunningly , " feisty, well I love wild cats."

" well wild cat has their paws too and they aware how to fight back.", Monica replied sarcastically feeling disgusted with his lustful stare.

" that's how I like you. If a girl would be easy to get,its no fun. However I am happy with fact you accepted my request. Isn't it ?? Finally money has power to spoke. Don't we agree.", he retorted uncaringly still having his stare on Monica.

" Of course money has power; only if that money belong to you. Well I think you shouldn't stay in dark. All those comfort and money on which you grabbed on forcefully belongs to my only lovable hubby ,Sumit, your brother and legal sole heir of here. And I am here only because of him.", she threw the bomb and gave a victorious smile and went out," if you excuse , I have work to do."

Dev was crooking his neck in such odd manner and looked up constantly on which direction Monica went made Sumit to boil his blood. He was witnessing the whole scenario when he made his visit to Monica ,stopped at doorstep and heard everything. He was pacific in childhood because there were none to care for him and none for him to protect. Today he badly wanted to protect his one only possession ,his wife whom he loved madly which had no boundary. His only world started with her and ended with her too. His eyes threw bloodshot daggers to Dev as his stance got harder . His inch of muscles got tighter with a overflowing nerve rate. Anger and sense of loosing priceless possession overpowered his brain. With that flowing rage he banged the glass table on his room which wrecked at once ,making crackling sounds. Dev was passing by, stopped in his room for throwing some tantrums, stood stunned seeing a furious Sumit, what he never witnessed in his lifetime. By seeing him, sumit's demeanor changed to hardest ever. He jumped to snap Dev's neck choking him , " Dare you to look at her; I will dig out your eyes." Dev saw his eyes lit with some unusual fierceness which spoke weight of his words. For the first time he was afraid of sumit begging for his life. Amit went to check with them saw this, made Sumit calm and let Dev ran away for his life.

" what's this my dear Friend, or my brother? You promised you wouldn't get angry? Then why?", asked Amit as he was very much upset.

" I don't know why? When I saw him flirting with my wife, only one whom I cared I couldn't tolerate by knowing how vicious he was. I don't know why that sudden change appeared in me . please help me...", sumit replied being guilt , his helplessness was too audible to ignore. " all I want Monica to be safe and happy, no matter what situation it is."

Amit observed him, carefully. He was in agony what should he do now. As a psychiatrist he knew what that mean but ; how he would brought that topic in front of his two bff. If he saw it in other way,it was a best way to give back what Dev and his father did with Sumit. But if that was right? Finally he preferred to ignore this thing and invite him for dinner by saying it was nothing. It was a unknown mistake initiated by him which would pay a big amount later.

Dev was furious and angry for few days; but never leave flirting with Monica. He had a stubborn nature about girls and his lusts. It led too many unhealthy banters but he didn't stop. After his father returned he complained his father about Sumit , " you won't believe dad, I saw a devil in him ,who was ready to make a feast out of me."

" what are you saying? Did you lost your mind? The guy who was afraid of us till death, become a man of power suddenly.", he replied seeing sudden madness of his son.

" I thought that girl might be reason for his overnight changing persona. Who wouldn't? She is quite a beauty. Even I want to have her.", Dev said shamelessly which drawn attention of his cruel and exactly shameless father.

" A girl you mean !! Well I have to see then how exactly she is alluring to enjoy.", A pure evil smile with a heated lust crept over him. That's why they both as father so as son.

But unfortunately that filthy talk heard by Sumit, who came for asking sorry to Dev ,for his previous day behavior. Rather listening such malicious dirty talks about his wife made him growl more like a lion. His stance got harder while his every demeanor started to change instantly , his every cell remembered to protect his wife, his mind and heart which got numb after his mother's death suddenly got furious. The guilty which he took in heart for not saving his mother overpowered by his love , his wife. He was kid who lost his mother helplessly, but those who eyed his love with lust ,he was not a kid anymore. His overprotectiveness instinct which was in slumber in deep down suddenly activated. In next moment both Dev and his father found kissed on ground with leaving painful growls. Later were history which was still unknown. And Submit was convicted for murdering Dev's father and attempt to murder Dev.

In next court hearing date, cops provide the knife used to stab both father son duo. Monica proved according to forensic report there was no finger print of Sumit. Though he had a psychological problem , but that's not personality disorder with help of Amit. Later it's proved that , Sumit might had no good term with them, but he was the sole heir of property and both Dev and his father planned to take it away or embezzled all hierarchy.

" The fingerprint which was found on knife was of Dev's. Employees heard their heated argument before day of murder even after Sumit left them. So it was out of theory to assume he killed them due to his psychological problem.After all assumption lowered our finding perfect evidence theory. I already submitted my evidence and my witness's record. So I expect a fair justice.", stated lawyer Monica proudly knowing she would win as all proof went against Dev then. And she was right. Sumit was free out of any ambiguity.

On their happiness they invited Amit who helped them much and treated Sumit enthusiastically as his own brother. Sumit too agreed with all his conditions. Amit wanted to heal him with love and by making his mind to believe there was no one to harm him or his wife. Therapies were always secondary matter in any psychological problem.

Next day the three left for, resort of Paradise land , they were enjoying outside natural view. When Sumit enjoying sea breeze and sipping his fruit juice looked at Monica adoring her, with a loving daze asked , " thank you !"

" for what ?", she asked turning her face to him from counting waves. Amit too looked on.

" Thank you for believing me !! Even though I was changing , even though I was in my hyper instinct to protect you at any cost; I was never a murderer. I saw my mother's death. So no matter how much I changed I couldn't or can never kill anyone. And you proved it. Thank you for believing me and proved my innocence.", Sumit said showing a gratitude which made Amit almost to jump from his seat with shock, then who that was?? Dev??.

" No need to show formalities between us. We are hubby and wife. It's our duty to protect each other. Because we love each other and we never want to see other partner in trouble. Plus I knew who the real culprit was, so I would go to till death to win your case.", her eyes lit up with a mysterious gleam which forced Amit to look at her. The way she spoke and the way she said about protecting each other, it was completely different. He doubted if that was the Monica ,he knew or not.

In case of Sumit he was sure, sumit had moderate psychological problems which instigated him; it was just his instinct to protect his love whom he didn't want to lose like his mother. But ,what he saw in Monica it was different, beyond his imagination. He remembered he saw that kind of look when she heard Sumit's life history and once in court when Sumit was first sentenced to mental Asylum. It was a deadly glare which showed the power of destruction which come in her way. So the death in hospital and death of Dev's father was done by?????? He couldn't complete his thought as heard their giggles and saw Monica went into walking holding Sumit's hand while Amit looked on confused. Right then she turned her face to say Amit with a mysterious smile " you are right." And a supporting as mysterious wink from Sumit made him numb. Amit felt his feet become jelly losing power to walk as he looked and heard their laughter from a bit far, deciphering who was actual culprit or who had actual psychological problem with a horrifying expression ????
