Chapter - 4: Doubts

Vineet and Ruhana grab the deal they have been working on. They are happy but at the same time,they are worried for a client who has complained of errors in the project. They are baffled about it and discussing it through the way, when she holds his hand and feels a prick.

She holds his hand and his palm is turning red, rough and there are patches on it. It is continuing to his wrist. She is baffled. She asks him to go to the doctor but he straightly refuses to go with her. She is astonished as Vineet isn't feeling any pain or ticklishness in the red patch. Meanwhile, they reach the office and walk inside. As they enter the cabin, Ruhana scolds him.

"Vineet! I am telling you. If this allergy doesn't subside, we'll go to the doctor. How can you be so careless?" she shouts at him.

"Ruhana! I am fine." Vineet says calmly.

" No! You're not. You're behaving weirdly. Firstly, that mark and now this allergy. What are you doing?" Ruhana scolds him.

"It's the beginning, Ruhana. And it will end soon. You will end it." Vineet says seriously.

Ruhana is amused. She looks at him and finds him sitting on his chair and smiling at him. His smile has a strangeness and Ruhana can feel it. It feels like he's trying to hide something. She has always felt some weirdness in his talks. But, she never paid heed to him. There are times when he behaves weirdly. Some things which are normal, Vineet asks weird questions about them and he seems out of equation. He says things which Ruhana can't understand. Today, he's being indifferent again. Ruhana looks at him in awe.

" What do you mean?" she asks him, looking at him keenly.

"You'll get to know it soon,Love." Vineet says.

There is a smirk on his lips and he is talking mysteriously. Ruhana is confused with his words. She looks at him while he is looking into the laptop. She moves towards him but he speaks about the deal which they have to discuss. Her trail of thoughts breaks and she decides to talk to him later. They discuss the project and within two hours they have a lead. They decide to call a meeting with the clients the next day and Ruhana agrees with him. She sighs deeply. She can now talk with Vineet as they will go home. It's already afternoon. They have lunch in their favorite restaurant, though Ruhana didn't talk to 2 him. She's already upset with him. He tries talking to her but she stays silent. They reach home and Ruhana moves to her room without talking to him. Vineet follows her.

"Ruhana, listen to me." he says.

"No! I don't want to talk to you. You're so weird. I can't understand you sometimes." Ruhana shouts at him.

"Don't shout, atleast. And whatever I said was true." he says, a twinkle is there in his eyes.

"Then, be happy with it. I don't want to talk to you." Saying so, Ruhana moves into the washroom.

Vineet calls her name, but she doesn't listen to him. He watches her go and a smirk makes way on his lips. He sits on the bed and picks up the frame from the side table. It's Ruhana's picture. He caresses the picture, there is a smirk on his face.

"You'll put an end to it, My Love. That too very soon." He says evilly, as if something is going on in his mind.

He thinks for a while and then moves towards the room, which is usually locked. He opens the door and closes it. The room is pitch dark, nothing is visible, except the fireplace. The fire illuminates the room and as Vineet enters the room, he closes his eyes and tears the dry skin of his wrist, transforming himself.
