Chapter Nine

GURU
I have to make Sheal understand everything, I knew Nance had explained everything to her. I've to be very careful about every moment and at every step. I can't be her of shadow, but in my absence Nance will take care of it. For her she is the tycoon's wife. But it's not true. It's not just Tycoon, she's wife's the great Omnipotence, merge wizard. She is not strong enough to face my real side. She hesitates a lot and shivers while talking to me, She needs to work on it. Her friend's betrayal has hurted her a lot. I'll keep her happy, I've promised myself.
She's coming. I can feel her from a distance. It stretched a smile on my face. It hadn't been more than seventy two hours and Here she is making me smile with her presence. I can't give the reason why I chose her. But I want her. She is my first choice. I don't know this feeling for her. I wanted her around me, no matter what.
" Good Morning Mr. Brown. " She cut off my thinking.
I smiled. I paced toward her, " Good morning Mrs. Brown. " I smirked.
" I'm sorry. " she said sadly. Although, there was nothing to be sad about. I've observed her these days closely. She easily got upset and a smallest effort can bring her smile back.
"Don't tell me, you don't know the surname of your husband. " I asked.
She was Quiet. I put my hand on her lower back. She winced.
" Ah Thank God !! You are not shivering this time. Do you remember all the details about my family? " I said with a smile.
"Yes, Sir. " she replied.
" No sir, Guru.. . You are my wife. You have all rights. " I told her.
" Guru. " she lovingly said my name. I was looking at her lips this time. I actually wanna kiss her, but don't wanna startle her. My hand was still on her lower back. I caught her wrist. Deliberately, I pecked her on the lips. She winced and gave me a fixed look with her widened eyes. I brought my lips near her ear.
" If you will continue to stare at me with your wide mesmerising eyes. It was peck this time, it will be a deep kiss within the next few seconds." I whispered. She shivered under my touch. She gaped her lips in shock, " Don't invite me. " I whispered, touching her lips with my thumb.
Immediately, she shut her lips tightly. She removed my hand, creating a huge space between us. I hated this distance. It was compulsory to make her comfortable with me.
I took one step aback. I laughed aloud after many days. She tried to escape. I held her wrist and made her sit on the table alike last time, when we were alone in the library. Currently, I put my hands on both sides of her, so she could not escape and ruin my loving time with her. She didn't ask many questions and I sincerely love it.
"Have you seen married couples ever? How they behave, pamper each other. " I broke the silence.
" What do you want me to do? " she asked nervously.
" It's not the answer to my question. " I said, beholding her.
She silenced for a moment. " Although I'm your wife, I'm under contract. I don't love you. If I abruptly fall in love with you. I don't wanna hurt myself again. You will leave me one day. I didn't know the reason behind this contract. It is your personal matter. I don't wanna interfere. I haven't any intention to invade your personal life. I can't give myself another heartache again. I know me. It will kill me. '' She said.
I was astounded at her. How easily she explained everything to me. I want her to fall for me. Deep down somewhere in the corner of my heart I know gracefully, I'm not leaving her. Her boyfriend must be an asshole, bloody dumbass, who left a gem. If he dared to touch and hurt her ever again. I will annihilate that piece of shit. It's not the right time to reveal my feelings for her. I wanna know everything about her. Right now I wanna know her reaction, when she talks about that jackass. I wanna know, Does she still love him or he has been history. Better in history, otherwise people will find him in his grave.
"How was your relationship?" I asked.
She made eye contact with me.
" I expect Love, Care, Understanding and Loyalty in a relationship. Which I never got from him. It is a fake marriage. But I can assure you, you have gotten my loyalty since then when I signed the contract. You will get it till the end. I promise." she assured me.
" You are surprising me. " I lifted my eyebrows.
" I know how to make my words. " she claimed.
" One last question. If you're loyal to me, You will truly answer it. " I leaned over her. I could see her gulping throat.
" Try it. " She demanded.
" Do you still love him? " I asked.
" It has been years. I haven't seen him. I didn't talk about him. I did love him. He killed it himself. No, I don't love him. I loved what he showed me he is, which he wasn't ever or will not ever. You can't be in love with imagination. But I have a soft corner for him in my heart. I don't wanna lie to you. " she said with sadness..
I took her hand in mine and kissed it. She blushed. Fu**! She's driving me crazy.
" I don't know love. Surely, I will never break your heart. " I promised.
" Don't make words you can't keep. " She challenged me with her words.
" You will see. " I said. I pulled the drawer and picked up a small box from it.
" Here, it belongs to you. " I offered.
" No, I don't need anything. You're already paying for my studies. " she said.
" Take it. it's yours." I offered it to her.
She took it from my hands with hesitation and opened it. Her face blossomed like a flower.
" I thought I lost them. How did you get it? " she cheered.
" I got it from that cab driver who was waiting for you." I told her.
Suddenly, She gave me a little hug and went back immediately. It stunned me for a while but I instantly covered it.
"Thank you is a little word for this. My dad had gifted it to me, I was born at that time. Momma told me this. " She said, I could see water shining in her eyes.
" I don't know what the future will bring for us. But at least, we can be friends." She offered me her hand.
I smiled, I put my finger on my lips to hide it.
" FRIENDS? " she asked with a cute smile.
I took her hand and shook it warmly.
" FRIENDS. " I said.
( At night...... )
She was getting fidget standing some inches away. She was softly biting her lips. I shook my head and put my phone on the nightstand.
"Is this compulsory? " She asked.
" I don't want you to be uncomfortable with me in any way. " I answered. Her face was showing her jitteriness.
" I will. Can't we start it from tomorrow. " she said, pleading.
" No, we can't. I've already given you a lot of time. We have only six day from tomorrow. " I told her.
" I kick during sleep. I have a bad habit of hugging the person next to me in my sleep. So it'd be good if I sleep on the couch. Good idea na! " She asked with enthusiasm.
" Not a chance. we're sharing this bed. " I confirmed. She was nervous like hell. I can assure she didn't share bed even with her boyfriend the whole night, " Come on! " I patted on the space next to me on the bed.
She recoiled with hesitation. I bent forward, held her hand, pulled her near me. " You are safe with me. You can trust me. I will never harm you. " I confided.
Indeed it is my first time, I'm sharing my bed with a girl. I have never expected such a day in my life. When she laid down beside me. I switched off the lights. She screamed. I instantly turned the light on. " What is it? " I asked anxiously.
" I don't like dark. It scares me " Apprehensively she uttered.
"Fu** I didn't mean to scare you. Are you alright? " I'm concerned.
" Can you please make that little one light on all night? " she requested.
" Sure. " I said.
It made her relax and she immediately slept. I don't want her to find me glaring at her. I closed my eyes and tried to sleep. It took me long to fall asleep.
I opened my eyes in the morning. It was her face in front of me. " Mine " voice came from inside me. Fu**... Her arm was on my abdomen and leg was over my thighs. She was almost hugging me. I desired to hug her back. It will wake her up, so I dropped the idea. I moved my gaze on her face. It stopped on her lips. Her pink lips, it's inviting me. There was a lock of hair on my face. I tugged it behind her ear. I want to run my thumb on her lips. But I didn't. She was sleeping calmly like a baby who is unaware of the world around her. I can behold her like this whole day.
" Surprise....... " someone said it in a loud tone, opening the door of our room. I didn't lock it, because it would make her uncomfortable.
It startled me. " Shhh... " I pointed. Shael moved in her sleep. But she did not wake up. " Thank God she is sound sleeping." I whispered.
I angrily turned around to see," Who dare to come in our room and disturb us. " I asked in a low voice.
" Hi, it's me, bro." Nyle replied in the same tone. I was glad to see him here. I slowly got out of the bed, carefully removing her legs and arm and putting it on the pillow. I hugged Nyle
" Nyle, What the fuck are you doing here? " I mumbled. I didn't wanna wake Shael up.
" I was missing you." He smiled and whispered.
" What on earth is wrong with you? What are you doing here.? " I spoke to him.
" I was here to surprise you. But I guess, you gave me fu****g surprise. " he said with shock, looking at her. He was continuously watching her.
" Why are you fuc***g glaring her? " I snapped.
He was still watching her in awe. I caught him by his collar and dragged him out of the bedroom.
" Do you want me to burn your eye's balls. " I snapped.
" You are sleeping with girls. " He was confused. " Look! You're fuc***g possessive about her. "
" What the hell! Are you insane? There is a girl. Did you drop your eyes somewhere? " I scowled.
" This is what you planned? It will not work. That banshee is not living you alone. She is crazily preparing for fuc**** engagement. You just slept with a girl. It is not going to change her mind. Flop plan. " he said, crossing her arm.
" Oh!!!! I haven't seen a married man getting engaged! " I wiggled my brows.
" Fu**! Are you kidding? Don't tell me she is your wife. " he shouted.
I smiled, " She is my wife. " I confirmed, " Don't you dare to continuously stare at her. I will indeed burn your eyes. I don't want you to unease her with your fuc***g stare. Did you get me, Nyle? what are you looking for now?'' I asked.
I followed his eyes. Shael was coming down stairs. She had hugged a teddy. She sat on the fifth stair from down. She was looking lost. I sauntered toward her.
" What is it? " I questioned.
She didn't reply. She was watching to and fro. Suddenly something stuck in my mind.
" Mom? " I asked.
She nodded. Holy Shit! I forgot, she used to like her mother so much that she hasn't spent more than two days without her. It's the third day of our wedding. She is missing her mother. Fuck! Why don't some parents leave their kids alone, when they turn eighteen. Her eyes became watery. Shit I can't see her like this. Her mother told me that she had a problem when someone woke her up without her desire. She forgot everything for a few seconds and minutes. It sounds weird to me weird first but seeing tears in her eyes. I believe in her mother now.
" Hey! BEAUTIFUL. " Nyle greeted her.
She looked at him. Her eyes were glistening with water in her eyes. She blinked twice. It made her tears streamed down her eyes. I let my hand brush her cheeks and wiped her tears. First she looked at me and then Nyle.
" Nyle! Bro. " She smiled.
" You know me? " Nyle sat down with her on the stairs.
She nodded her head.Then she pointed at me with her index first finger and said, " My hubby's brother. " She smiled a little.
Mine! somewhere in the corner of my heart, a voice came again and reverberated in my mind. I don't know why I wanna claim her. Her "My husband" put my soul in joy. I stood up. I cupped her cheeks in my hands and kissed her forehead.
" I'm sending Nance in. You must need her help. " I said.
" No, I don't need Business woman's help. I am not a kid. " she was irritated.
" Business woman " Nyle smirked. I gave him a look.
Before I could say anything to her, She picked her weird yellow bird, kinda teddy, and went upstairs.
" What are you considering? " I asked Nyle. For two full minutes, Nyle glared at me. "What are you searching for? " I frowned.
" I never can imagine My elder brother, who runs from girls, will take care of a girl like this. " he said.
" Are you kidding me? " I gave him a stuffy look.
" No bro, I'm telling, I've seen. And you got married in my absence. You did not inform me. Don't you know you're my only bro? " he mocked.
" Have you been through a mess? " I snorted and punched him on his shoulder.
" Let's have man to man talk and the serious one."
I told him all the tail. He was younger than me but he has a wizard brain. His advice is important.
" She is strange to our world, bro. You didn't tell her anything. You really think, she is fit for this roll, you know? I mean, we can't afford to risk anything about her. She is not facing only humans. They are wizards, good and evils. Any one can easily harm her. " He's concerned.
I turned to face Nyle, " You think I haven't planned anything. She is wearing our wedding ring. I have conjured it, any evil person who intentionally wants to harm her, can't touch her. Sorcery, magic nothing can effect her. If any single person dares to give her a tiny nick, I will annihilate him. " I clenched my jaw.
I can feel her still around me. If she'll be in trouble, I'll know this.
"Fu**! Dad is going to piss off, bro." He frowned.
" I'm a bad motherfucker when it's about the people I care and love. Dad never cares for me but his reputation and power." I scowled.
" By the way, What brings you here? " I asked.
" Most important, I was missing you. Second, It is a little sad, I was here to bring you back. Our parents want you back home. That um girl also wanted to come. I refused her. I fakely assured her, I'll bring you back. In fact after watching this, I think you need your brother's help, you know." He blustered.
" No thanks. " I shrugged my shoulders.
" Come on bro. " he smirked.
" What made you think so. " I demanded.
" You don't have any experience with girls. " He grinned.
" You are such a shit." I snapped.
" Doesn't matter, I'm in. " he started.
" Whatever " I crooked my head.
Nyle was right. I've always kept myself busy in understanding my powers and in meditation, so I could control my powers more efficiently. But you never know sometimes you need a tiny thing to make things work.
