Under his gaze (his forced bride) by Olivia Jessie (best ebook reader for laptop txt) 📖

He found the mangalsutra and the ring while searching for her. This broke him more. She hated him. He carried them in his shirt's pocket close to his heart. He would give her when they would meet. Soon. 

Something felt missing in his heart. Like a lost puzzle piece. The most important one which complete it. He hated to be alone. She was his. One and only person whom he believed more than others. He cried again when saw the empty house. He didn't want to be manly now and hold his tears but he felt like a child. A boy whose mother left him. His mind interchanged the scenes. Everything mixed from childhood till now. 

" Maaa. Maa " He ran. To her burial ground. He felt like it was happening now. His mother trying to run away from his father to her brother's house. His father had caught her in the bus with a man who she told was her cousin but his father didn't believe her and got him arrested. 

Advay's mother was running in the yard  . His father behind her, angry. He wanted another child to keep her in place. But she denied. Her kids were grown up. She didn't want other chain to tie her to the man. Advay was 17 . He could have done something. But he froze when his father caught his mother and dragged her in. She was screaming. And asked him to get his uncle. He lived on the other side of the gravel road. 

Advay didn't want to leave his mother with him. Nidhi was at uncle's house. But he ran. Because only uncle could have helped them. His father was six feet three inches and a well built man. So he ran and knocked on his door. His son was preparing for NDA and it was his last chance. He gave him a disgusted look and went in to continue his studies. 

He begged his uncle to save his mother. He was going with him but his wife stopped him. Telling him not to be a part of their never ending family problems. They were disgusting family members who had no future ahead. Their father was a wife beater and they were nothing more than that too. 

The time was passing every second. Uncle asked him to have some rest. They didn't know how serious the situation was. Because he didn't tell them. How angry his father was. So Advay ran on his own, the uncle watching him. His eyes confusing the young guy. 

He reached the cabin. It was quite. Like no one lived there anymore. He had wasted a lot of time while going to his uncle's house and staying there then coming back. The roads were not so straight that time. He ran inside the cabin to find everything scattered. His heart feared for the worst. He called his mom. In the kitchen, living room and bathroom too but she was nowhere.. 

He went in the backyard and fell on his knees. His father laid dead with a bullet hole in his forehead on a freshly made grave.. 

He became an orphan that day. Both his parents laid dead. Not breathing. Still. He knew he wouldn't never hear them or see them moving or smiling. They were gone. Finally his mom was at peace. He touched his father's dead body and the grave  

And cried  . He loved her too much. Too much. He had told everyone that she would be death of him one day. She too had told everyone that this man would kill her someday. 

He wished if they could get everything in order then he would still be having his parents. 

His uncle and aunt reached the place after half an hour , Advay cried hugging both of them. He hated both his parents. They were crazy. But deep down he loved them. His father was so handsome and charming but never cheated on his mother when she would run away from him. His mother too never hated him. She didn't like to be kicked and punched. 

Advay's uncle Harishankar Bhardwaj wanted his sister to have proper cremation. But Advay spoke against it  . His mother was finally at peace. And his father too. He didn't want to hurt them anymore. 

The relatives tried to take him with them like his grandma took Nidhi but he didn't go with anyone. And no one could ask him further. He studied here in the cabin alone to prove that he was not worthless. His mother was not a crazy woman. He could be successful. 

Some things he understood and learnt from his parents' life was that he would never allow any relative or friend to interfere in his life. They would pretend to understand you but would laugh at your condition. He never wanted to marry. Never wanted to fall in love. But Mihika came  . She was too much similar to his mother  . So to prove the society that he could have a normal marital life he tried to control her. Didn't show any love but he fell in love with her. 

And too much, he thought. He was afraid of the same thind . And it happened. 

" Why are you crying? " A female voice caught him off guard. He wiped his tears and found the girl with the shawl standing away from him. 

" What are you doing here? " He asked her breathing in heavily. 

" My sheeps . They love the grass which is grown here. " She told him . He saw the herd grazing. And nodded  . Well the girl wasn't anywhere near to his house he had run away from the house to avoid bad memories and hadn't realized when he reached here. 

" Okay. Fine " He replied. And continued on his path.. 

" But why were you crying? " She asked again.. 

" Because my wife left me. And now I am alone. " He needed to get off this from his heart. 

" Why? " She futher asked coming closer. Her beautiful face Saddened. The man was really handsome why would she leave him? She thought. 

" Because I used to hit her . Punch her, kick her and tortured her. " He shouted.  the girl didn't react much but still continued to watch him. 

" Do you regret it now? " She asked  .he nodded " Then she will come back. Don't repeat what you did to her. " She smiled  . Advay watched her cheerful face. He walked towards his home ignoring her best wishes. 

He wanted his wife  . He wanted Mihika. He drank two bottles of vodka. And finished third one half way when he saw a girl standing outside his window.
