Aditi's POV
Riya!
Before I move aside, she pushed me aside and walked inside.
I stood at the door dumbfounded. When I came back to the dining room. She was sitting beside him and was feeding him the breakfast ?
"You know, I was thinking to go shopping with you but Prisha informed about this." Riya said filling his mouth with the spoon of Poha.
He was silent.
"Aditi, breakfast?" Prisha looked at me.
Just then he realised my presence, he looked up at me. His eyes met mine for few seconds but I quickly averted my gaze from him hiding my tears and made my way towards the kitchen.
It was good till morning. But now.
How many times to tell you? he isn't yours. He will never be.
You love him, but he doesn't. So Stop. Expecting.!! He is getting married soon. If you keep expecting you will hurt yourself more.
Already there are so many things that hurts you. Now this!
Don't stop loving your husband, don't stop taking care of him, but don't hurt yourself more.
I wiped the flowing tears from my cheek. I took the breakfast in casserole and served all of them the breakfast. I didn't dare to look at him. Not because I'm angry or something. It's just I don't need to.
I served others their breakfast. But he and Riya was not there.
"Where's she?" I asked.
"Why?" Harsh asked.
"I- I mean, does she need something?" I asked lowering my voice.
"They're in Bhai's room." He muttered and left.
I made a cup of coffee and made my way towards his room with the tray in my hands.
I quickly turned as I saw them kissing?
"You should knock before you appear like this." I heard her yell.
"I-I'm sorry!" I said quickly and kept the tray on the glass table.
I ran out not facing them probably him.
Told you,
A hope is rising inside me whenever I'm with him.
And that is false. You should learn to control yourself.
Tears rolled down continuously from my cheeks. But who cares!
Nobody, so I made myself busy with all those works which I've been loving to do.
When I was drying the clothes at the terrace, I saw he was sitting on the bench of the garden talking in his phone while she was saying something to him.
I took a deep breath.
Don't! Don't!
~ ♡‿♡ ~
"Bye Akhil! Take care." Riya said and once again kissed his cheek.
As I was mopping the floors because of the stain that everyone made. They went outside and came with mud covered shoes. UGH!
These rich people are so dumb. I mean they're making their house dirty, themselves.
She left and he came inside. I heard the footsteps only I didn't look up at him.
"Where are they?" His voice came from behind.
"Home theatre." I replied not facing him.
I don't want to. If I look into his eyes, I will end up crying and I have always cried infront of him.
And he never should know about my feelings towards him. I don't want that.
I continued to mop the floor.
"Bhai! Come let's watch a movie." Rita said.
He nodded and made his way towards home theatre not before glancing me once.
Just like a blink of eye the days passed fastly.
Sir and Ma'am has returned. He's fine now. And he's going to office also.
And the worst part for me is, he's getting married in a week.
I don't wish him bad but it's just, it's hurting me to the core.
These feelings are so new for me. Seeing him just makes my heartbeat skip.
But the thought that he isn't mine makes me sick. No! I don't want to snatch him from anyone.
Riya, she's beautiful. She's rich. She's well educated. She's modern. More than anything he loves her!
When I saw them kissing twice, it made my heart clench. And when they will have their kids, UGH!
I'm thinking too far. I can't stay here for so long. I really don't know where I can go but I have to go.
I can't stay here after their marriage. I can't!
But I was ignoring him all these days. I seldom appeared infront of him. And I didn't met him alone.
"Aditi, we are going to shopping." Ma'am said.
"Take care of everything. We will be back soon." She commanded in her authorative voice as always.
I nodded.
When I was doing the dishes, I heard a throat clearing sound. When I turned to see the most irritating and annoying person in the world.
Ajay!
"Actually, I don't like shopping so thought to why not spend some quality time with you?" He said.
His smirk didn't leave his lips.
"If- if you n-need a-anything, I'll c-come with it. Y-you go to the l-living room." I tried to say firmly but it was like I managed to complete my sentence.
I'm scared.
"Anything?" He asked.
I nodded.
His smirk grew wider.
He stepped towards me and blocked me between him and the kitchen counter.
"W-what are y-you d-doing?!" I asked in a fearful voice.
"I want you." He leaned in and whispered in my ear and bite my earlobe.
It's disgusting. I pushed him and ran to living room.
Tears rolled down from my cheeks. I feel pity for my own self.
"Where will you go?" His voice came from behind.
I was petrified.
"Please leave me. Please don't do anything." I joined my hands and cried infront of him.
"Aww, baby don't cry. Just two hours. I'm not even asking a night. Trust me you won't be disappointed. And not for free, ask me whatever you want." He said.
Saying this he stepped towards me but his foot halted hearing sound of the main door opening.
I gazed towards the door to see who is my saviour,
My husband?!
I quickly wiped my tears.
"B-bhai, you at this time?" Ajay asked stuttering, shocked!
"Yeah! I was having a little head ache." He replied.
"They all went to mall for shopping for your marriage." Ajay said.
"So I was asking her to bring coffee." Ajay added glaring at me which was unnoticed by him.
Did he just threat me?
Anyway, I can't tell him. Will he trust me? I don't think so.
"I've some work." Ajay said and made his way towards his room.
I gazed down. I wasn't even looking at him from that day. When I look into his eyes, I couldn't hold my tears. Why?
I made my way towards the kitchen ignoring him, and began to do the dishes.
"Why the hell on this earth you're ignoring me?!"
Came his sudden voice from behind. He held my arm, turned me towards him. He was so close to me .
I moved my gaze away from his eyes. I'm witnessing his chest. I'm too small infront of him.
"Hha?" I didn't dare to look into his eyes.
"I didn't!" I said.
"Ajay is here, if he see us together like this, it will be a big problem. Please move. If you want something let me know." I said still not gazing at him.
"Ab tum bhi?" He mumbled.
I stared into his eyes. Tears welled up in his eyes.
His eyes held so much emotions, like he is scared, for what? I don't know but I can see fear, pain, care and helplessness in his black doe like eyes.
Before I could ask or say something, he left me and went maybe towards his room.
He's crying? But why?
