Redeeming Love by Shikha Mishra (e book reader android txt) 📖

Vihaan's POV

“SHE. IS. NOT. MY. WIFE.... YOU. ARE. MY. WIFE.....YOU." I shout. I am fed up with her continuously trying to tell me that we both don't have any relationship. We both are just two people who know each other. But I am sure she is saying all this more to herself than me. She is assuring herself.

Disha suddenly starts laughing.

“Is it time to joke around vihaan?..No, right." she says after recovering from her laugh. My anger increases instantly.

She thinks I am joking.

“Do I look like I am joking? Do you see it on my face, huh?" I ask. I wanted to tell her this after winning her will which is denying to be with me but her stubbornness won. I knew that she was coming every day to see me. But my naive Disha thought I was unaware.

I had it all planned. Taking her with me on the day of my discharge got successful but that damn storm flopped everything. If the weather had been good that day, I could have been with Disha in my new lake house. 

“Bhai let's go. I-I am tired and I want to sleep. Pl-please take me home." I hear Disha say to hrithik. Her face is turned towards hritik.

“You are not going anywhere. I am taking you to the hospital to get you checked first." I say before hritik can agree with her. From Hritik's white face I can say he believes my every fucking word.

No one can know you better than your best friend.

“NO....I AM NOT FUCKING GOING ANYWHERE WITH YOU."

“And YOU. ARE." I grit out. This girl is going to be the death of me. First she was taking these pills for numbing emotions for god knows how many months and now been stubborn. She was never like this.

“And she is coming with me." My head at a lightning speed turns towards hritik. I give him a death glare.

“Your opinion is not needed here." I reply.

“In fact your opinion is not needed here. She is my sister and she wants to go home and I am going to do that..... I did the same in the past and today also I am going to do the same." he replies smugly. Instantly I get a flash of the day when Disha disappeared. My anger skyrockets.

“The fuck I will let you do that. You who weren't able to see the pain and agony which Disha was going through all those years that made her take those poisons. You were the one who saw what Disha wanted to let everyone see. You weren't able to see the broken Disha inside the independent and confident Disha. You don't get to have an opinion which concerns her." I reply.

“And why is Disha going through all that pain?.... It's all because of you, you fucking bastard. If you hadn't been in our life my sweet Disha could have been happy with another person….."

“DON'T YOU DARE TO COMPLETE THAT SENTENCE. No one can love her as much as I do. Yeah I am madly in love with her. So she is. You don't get….." 

“I. DON'T. LOVE. YOU." I get interrupted by Disha's shouting.

“Yes you do." I say confidently. But still listening to her saying that to me every fucking time breaks my heart. But I was more heartbroken when she said the same thing to me while drunk. That was so fucking painful. I have heard that people become honest when they are drunk and listening to that made me so sad that the pain became unbearable. 

But the thought of her wanting me said something else. And I am sure she must have said that because she was mad at me. I am sure of it.

“Vihaan let's just go back to our lives, just the way we were a few days back, okay?.... I am really tired." Disha says. Her face which was smiling a few hours earlier has changed to a completely sorrowful face. 

I sign. “Go. I will not stop you. And everything will go back to how it was...three years ago." I say. 

She doesn't say anything after that and just gets in the car with hritik. My hand twitches to stop her. And I find myself hugging her from behind. I pull her body closer to me and snuggle my head in her neck. I take a sniff of her beautiful smell.

“I love you." I say. I part away from her with a very heavy heart. I can feel anxiousness creeping inside me as she gets in the car without a look at me. It's the same feeling which I got the day before her disappearance.

I am afraid. 

“Vihaan." I hear soniya calling me but I don't answer her. My eyes intact on the car zooming out. 

“Vihaan………. Vihaan I am calling you…… Vihaan are you listening…."

“Yes soniya I am. Just spit it out." I reply. 

I was so happy with Disha earlier, just a few hours ago. And now what has happened.

“Why did you tell her that we are not married?" I hear soniya asking. I turn towards her and look her up and down. And from her look I can definitely say she is damn afraid but she should have expected that before agreeing with my agreement. 

I don't pity her. I am not concerned about soniya, not even a bit. And I am not ashamed of that.

“At some point of time I would have told her and that day is today." I say. I have a urge to shout at her, for bringing Hrithik here and spoiling my and Disha's beautiful time. But I don't do that because I know the conversation which we are going to have will already make her day bad.

“But….but that was not our agreement." she stammers. I start walking towards my car. My shoes squish as I walk on the muddy ground. Soniya just behind me, running. I get inside the car and wait for her to get in.

“You didn't answer my question vihaan." She says. I roar the car to life and glance at her to see her eyes already intact on me. I look away and speed away the car.

“Vihaan I am asking you something." she shouts.

“And I don't find it worthy enough to answer." I say with gritted teeth. 

“You can't do that vihaan to me. I-I love you." she replies. Her voice is heavy.

“Did I ever told you to love me? Did I ever let you think that I am attracted to you? Did I ever gave you false hope?...." I turn my head towards her “No, right. Then why are you making me a villain here…." I look away from her as her eyes moistures up “Besides the agreement which you agreed never mentioned that we have to live in this relationship all our life."
