Chapter 19

Flashback Continues....

Krisha's POV:

               How could he yell at me like that? After all I'm traveling with him in his car, I was like a guest to him. Don't he have any manners?

            More than getting angry I was hurt. I was terribly hurt when he treated me like a piece of crap. My mood was off the whole evening, while Adith was enjoying with my brother. He didn't even apologized to me for a curtsey.

            We were about to leave the place just when someone held me up in the air and swirled me around, it was Vijay.

            Vijay was Vetri uncle's son,  I was very happy to meet him after so long time, he went to London for his studies. I rarely met him then, even though we spent a lot of time enjoying our childhood.

               He changed my foul mood and made me happy by giving life to many beautiful memories we spent with each other.

                 We decided to have food in a multi cuisine restaurant and I decided to tag along with Vijay, after all Adith didn't like my company so what is the use of accompanying him?

            In the restaurant Vijay sat next to me while my brother Ishaan and Adith sat opposite to us, I didn't know why the hell Adith was throwing draggers at me. My mere presence was enough to annoy him.

        "Place your Order Krisha..." Told my lovely brother.

          "Dragon chicken and tandoori chicken for starter." I told the waiter.

            "I love them..." Told Vijay.

          "And....I want Panner Kulcha and butter chicken. "I told the waiter.

           "Get me the same." Told Vijay and winked at me.

          "You should order something you like to have instead of copying me. " I told him the matterly fact.

           "Sweety... I like you so much, why wouldn't I like the food you ordered? I knew, it will be damn good." Vijay was so sweet.

          We had our dinner chatting happily and teasing Ishaan anna, to be frank I didn't even glanced at Adith but I felt him looking at me continuously.

         After our heartily dinner I was waiting in the parking for my car, suddenly Adith stopped his car in front of me and pulled me inside.

      I gave him a questioning look while he told me " Paatima told ME to take care of you." And increased the speed. 

   What the hell...?

          I was waiting for my brother and Vijay to pick me up, here, he literally pulled me into his car and drove off. The fact was he was not actually interested spending time with me a few hours ago, then what happened?

       I called Ishaan Anna " Anna, I'm with Adith... On the way to home. Don't worry, I'm safe." I told Anna.
 
          "I was waiting for you to join me Krisha..." Told Vijay.

             "Sorry Vijay.. I wa..." Before I could talk to him. Adith pulled my phone and cut the call. Clearly I was confused, why was he behaving weirdly?

           "I don't like to be disturbed." He told me still focusing on the road.

        "I feel like an unwanted burden. If you don't like me around you, why do you have to pull me into your car? It is not that I'm not safe with my Brother or Vijay." I told him straightly.

         He looked furious " Of course you are an unwanted burden for me, if Paatima didn't insisted me to take care of you. I would never ever glance at you." He told me rudely.

      I was at the verge of tears. I turned towards the mirror and started counting the street lights. What would I do then?

        When we reached home I ran to my bedroom and locked me inside the fact that I was an unwanted burden around him hurted me more than his behavior.

           I refused to meet Paatima or Vijay and told them I was tired and needed rest. I laid my bed and tried to sleep fighting my immense stomach and back ache.

           It was around 2:00 AM, I woke up of unbearable pain and found out I was in my periods. The pain was terrible than usual and unfortunately I didn't have my necessities.

  Hell....

  Mom along with my two aunts was also out of station, paatima must be sleeping after taking her pills, I shouldn't disturb her.

   What would I do?

         With utter difficulty I climbed down the stairs wiping my tears. I felt so unloved without anybody in the house.

     Urmila Aunty!

          Yes, I decided to go to her room to get some help. Before I could knock I was stopped by someone.

         "What are you doing here this time? " Adith asked me.

          "I have to meet aunty." I spoke without looking at him. I just didn't wanted him to look at my crying face. God! My pain was increasing every moment.

             "Mom must be sleeping. She takes her sleeping pills too. It won't be fine to wake her up now. You can talk to her in the morning." He told me folding his hands over his chest.

              "Adith... Please I want to meet her, now. " I pleaded still looking at the floor.

               "Don't you understand if I say once. Just get lost and don't you dare disturb my mother." He yelled at me, without any option I decided to go to a medical shop by myself.

          Climbing the stairs clutching my stomach, my foot tumbled at the last step, I somehow managed and went out towards my car. I was about to get in my car but Adith closed the door.

              "Where are you going at this time? " he asked me.

           I didn't answer him, what would I tell him? Usually it was a very sensitive topic for any women, I didn't even talk about this even with my mom unless until its necessary. Here, a stranger was asking about my menstutal cramps.

Hell!

        "That's none of your business." I told him and opened my car door again. But Adith closed my door again with a bang and caged me with my car door.

            "Everything about you is my business damn it. Why the hell are you up at this time and where the hell are you going." He yelled at me more. That's when my pain shootup and I broke down into tears clutching my stomach.

             "Hey....hey... Krisha. What happened? Are you okay? Don't cry ..." He pulled me to his chest suddenly and rubbed my shoulders soothingly.

         I didn't answer him, instead got a little comfort from his warmth that surrounded me. He made me sit in the passenger seat and drove the car. That didn't stop me from resting my head on his shoulder.

             He stopped in front of an 24/7 medical shop and god down. How would I tell him that I need few womanly necessities?

    After few minutes, he came with a bag and drove back to our place. My face turned red looking at the contents in my bag.

  That was really embarrassing!

        At home, I went inside my room. And helped myself and gulped the medicine. I still had the  pain, it would take few minutes to subside.

            Hugging a pillow, I dripped a few silent tears. My room door cracked and there entered Adith. I sat up and looked at the floor, I was feeling.....aaaarrrggggg! How would I face him after this incident.

              "Krisha..." He called me but I didn't look at him.

           "Here, keep this hot bag, it will help you with the pain. And come on. Here is some fenugreek gulp it with water, you will feel better. " he told me and I silently did everything he told me. The moment I kept the hot bag pressed to my lower back I felt far relived.

        Resting on my headboard I looked at him and said a " Thank you." In a small voice.

         I looked at his eyes, and saw my face reflecting in them. He was looking at me with love and care. He looked truly worried for me.

         "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" He asked my but I didn't answer.
  
       "You should have told me Krisha..." He sat in front of me.

          "Here... Drink this Milo, You'll feel relishing. Watch out its hot. " he told me again.

         My heart flipped every second, he soft side of Adith was a very rare sight because as far as I know he was a very rude, arrogant and a egoistic man, who never respects others feelings but the Adith who was sitting in front of me was a totally new person, whom I love to spend my time with.

        "Why are you being so hesitant? I'm a man... And you are a women. Is it so?

               You are an educated girl Krisha.... Pain is pain for both the gender. And whatever is happening with you is all science. You should look at this medically and scientifically.

               I don't know why few girls are so ashamed of taking about this? If you girls don't respect yourself and voice out your pain and feelings, how could expect a men to understand your pains and feelings.

        Women should be proud of being able to go through all this pain with immense strength. " He told me and stood up from my bed.

        All the while I was looking at him without averting my gaze, my pain and discomforts were long forgotten, all I could see and feel was Adith.

       His words gave me a special confidence and a part of my heart already started imagining him to be my husband.

         "Take rest..." He stroked my hair with so much love dancing in his eyes and left my room.

        I never speak about my menstrual cramps to any male specimen in my life like my dad or brother.

          Adith was the first man who saw me in such a vulnerable state, he stood by me, he felt my pain, he helped me with it.

              I was loathing him for his former behavior but then, he whipped me out with his love and care few minutes ago.

          One second he was hurting me badly and the next second he was caring and loving towards me. Did he like me or not?

           How much ever I try to push him out of my skull box and ribcage, he conquer my soul like an everlasting King.

What are you Adith....?

            With few unanswered questions and beautiful feelings, my eyes closed hoping to see a better version of him in the coming days.

Assalamu allaikum and hello to all my lovely cupcakes.

       How are you all? How was the chapter? What do you think about Adith, was he jealous? What do you all think about the new character Vijay.

        It was a bold chapter, I guess. Many of us wouldn't tell our pains and discomforts. Always cover it in front of other if we spot out a male specimen somewhere near us. Through this chapter I would like to tell all, Women are not weaker gender, we are indeed stronger enough to bring out a new human into this world.
