Demon of my Dreams

" Ishan what happened to you? Are you drunk? Ishan talk to me, why your eyes are red?" Nisha was shocked to see him like that.

They both got married a month ago, it’s a complicated love and arranged marriage. 

Ishan never wanted to marry her, he always believed it’s her body and his hormones were the reason why they get into the relationship. But Nisha was addicted to him and begged him to tie the knot. She was never able to find what made her such addict on him. She believed that marriage could change him and he will love her like the way he was at the beginning of their relationship.

It all shattered a few days ago.

It was a rainy mid night; Ishan's phone gave notification tone.

" Ishan - seems you got a message at 2am!"

" It might be some WhatsApp forward, don’t mind it"

" Ok, I need to drink water " she went to the kitchen

While coming back to bed she noticed him replying to someone.

" Are you replying to that WhatsApp message?"

" Shhh.. come closer..." he hugged and kissed her, 

He diverted the conversation by his charm and they made love.

The next day when he was sleeping, she checked his mobile, but couldn’t find anything.

She believed something is not right in their relationship.

" Ishan my friends are coming home this Friday, can you apply leave?"

" Nisha, I told you clearly that no friends after marriage. Let this be the first and last instance. And I can’t be a part of it. I get groceries for you and let’s make that as last. I don’t like the culture of your friends" he kissed her and left for the job.

The same night he came home drunk,

"Ishan, you promised that you won’t drink much"

" Nisha, I want to sleep, we discuss tomorrow" he kissed her and slept.

His phone blinked twice,

She checked that and it’s a message from a man named Naresh. He sent a heart emoji and previous texts were empty or deleted.

She was confused and opened his social media accounts,

There were two accounts in his social media, one is under his name and the other was fake profile with his nudes. She found he sent his nudes to many women including her friends whom he called culture less.

She felt like the world just shut down - everything turned dark.

She replied to the message of Naresh of with a same heart emoji and he replied immediately,

" Is your wife sleeping baby?"

" Yes... I want to see you" She typed the reply.
