Tbh!! Sometimes I also crave love but knowing the fact that I'll end up hurting someone resists my crave for love. I want to know how it feels to be loved by someone with his whole heart, but the way love shattered Mumma gulped my wish years ago.
My Papa did the worst with her, but that lady still thought about him. She told me to obey him even though he never loved her.
The way her love for me made her guilty and she took her life. Every shade of love haunts me, and I don't want to be like her. I'll not love anyone...
I always adored my parents as a perfect couple when I was a kid, but that perfection turned out to be a nightmare as a teen.

My thoughts vanished when I heard my phone ring. A call from an unknown number... I picked it up without thinking twice.
"Hello!", I said.
"Hello", a woman replied, and her voice sounded familiar. "BE READY FOR THE DISASTER VR", she added and hung up.

WTH!! I need to track this number.

Luckily, I have an application that Akshi gave me to track someone's number. I entered the number and waited a few seconds. "INVALID" the fuck.

Who's she? Am I missing something? I need to check the list... I need to shortlist ex-staff who can betray me. "DISASTER" and "LOVE YOU", these words kept echoing in my mind while I was shortlisting the names.

My phone rang again and this time too it was an unknown number. I turned on my recorder and picked up the call.
"Hello", I said.
"Hello Beta!!", she replied, and she is Mrityunjay's mother.
"Jii...Aunty", I said.
"I wanna tell you something", she replied in her soft voice. Her voice resembles my mother so much.
"Jii Aunty boliye...", I said gently because I regret how I behaved with her today. I've no other options though.
"Beta I know you don't want to marry anyone, but your mother sent me a letter before she died. A letter in which she took a promise from me.", she elaborated but I interrupted.
"PROMISE? What? She wrote a letter for me too, but I found that after two years of her death in my diary.", I said, rubbing my eyes to stop my tears.
"Hm... A letter in which she wanted you to marry Jay. She wanted me to be your mother-in-law and gave you the love of a mother. You still don't want to marry him? It's your mother's last wish...", she completed.

Her last wish... Why?
Sorry Mumma but I can't fulfill your last wish and you know why? Because of your last words to me... Dadi always considered those as a curse and the day I found your letter I started to agree with her because I'm afraid. Afraid of ending up like you... I'm sorry for being selfish but I don't want to be like you in love or a relationship and you know I lost everybody I loved. What if I lost again?
"My decision could not be changed, Aunty... I'm sorry...", I said softly shurding off my thoughts to be a good daughter by agreeing to marry him.
I hung up the call because I had no strength to drag this topic.
I shifted my gaze to the list of ex-staffs...

*********

Mrityunjay's Pov

"Maa stop this please.", I said to her while entering the room.
I listened her and Vidya's conversation.
"I promised my dead bestie... I must fulfill her last wish...", she replied with watery eyes. "I'm not doing injustice with you Jay...If you're thinking like I'm forcing you then so sorry beta but you know I can't break promises. Earlier I was bound because you're into another person but now I'll try every possible way to fulfill her last wish.", she added.
"Do whatever you want to do...I'm leaving", I snapped and took steps to exit the room.
"Stay here...Please, for today only...", she said.
"Okay", I replied without turning my face.

I entered my room and took a shower to calm myself down, but it didn't work. I'm burning!! Because of her rude behavior with Maa. I can tolerate anything with myself but if anyone's trying to disrespect my family. He's gone...
But the problem is she's a female and I can't disrespect her too, but she needs a lesson. I need answers to why she acted so rudely with my family.

I dialed her number... She's not picking up... I dialed again... Not picking up...
I stood up and started to walk into my room. Why is she not picking up? Is she okay? Why am I panicking?
I dialed again and waited for a while... Luckily, she picked up the call.
"What's your problem man?", she yelled from the other side.
Ye har time apne chudail wale avatar mai kyu rehti hai?
(Why does she remain in her witch avatar all the time?)

"Mrityunjay...", I was about to complete but she interrupted.
"I know!! Come to the point.", she said, which made my blood boil again. How could she interupt me?
"Why did you disrespect my family?", I asked quickly.
"Are you crazy? I didn't disrespect anyone, it's your thinking...", she said.
"I'm crazy as hell... You wanna see my crazy side, Miss Vidya?", I replied with a dark smirk.
"Thanks for your confirmation. I already knew it. Now go to...", she replied and got interrupted.
Good at making comebacks... Why am I smiling? She insulted me...
"Ma'am!! A few officers came and they want to meet you. Bade Sahab is not at home so what should I do?", a female voice said to her which was completely audible to me.

Officers? Is she alone at home? I want to ask her if she needs me, but I didn't want to cross my fucking limits.

"I'm coming...", she said to her with an exhausted tone and hung up the call.
What's wrong? Why did the police come to meet her this late? Should I go to help her?
No!! I can't go... I know she'll handle them but... Wait! Why the hell I'm freaking out?? She insulted my whole family today and I want to help her... there's no need to think about her.
I must sleep because tomorrow I have to meet a foreign ambassador...

I hopped onto the bed and slipped into the blanket.

It's been an hour, and I can't sleep because now I'm tense for her. I don't want to be tensed but I don't know why the hell this is happening. Why do I feel something different in her? Why do I feel something's pulling me towards her? I never felt such urges for anyone, even for her (My first love).

I turned again towards the window. The curtains were waving, giving me sight of the dark black sky. A few stars were twinkling in the sky. I closed my eyes and again the sky reminded me of her eyes. Her eyes flashed back. I found so much resemblance in her eyes and this dark sky.
Last time when our eyes were locked, I felt something in my stomach. I don't know what the fuck was that, but I felt the urge to grab her in my arms and tell her to let out her inner soft Vidya in front of me, which she buried because of the darkness in her life.
The stars in the dark sky look like the teary glitters of her eyes. My heart wrenched seeing her eyes being watery because of the gift I chose for her. I want to give her the love she missed all these years. I want to melt her stiff heart.
Knowing the fact that she doesn't want to marry me gives me relief and tension at the same time. Relief because I know it's just an attraction and I can't love her the way she deserves to be loved because a part of my heart belongs to her (my first love). Tension because I don't know the reason.
Fuck it!! I need to sleep. She doesn't need you, Mrityunjay... I reminded myself...
