Chapter Seven

Guru
I was talking to Nyle on the phone. He wanted me to talk to my mother. But I immediately refused him as she wasn't helping me in it and also wanted Janney to be my wife. Well! They can't do anything now.
"Guru? " Nance called me from the behind. There was a haunted look on her face.
"I'll call you later, Nyle." I disconnected it before he could ask me any questions.
"What's the matter, Nance? " I asked her.
" She is not in her room. " It startled me.
I wasn't sure, Nance loves to play acting stuff. But her look was saying that she was telling the truth, " She means? " I asked to clear my doubt.
" Shael..." She replied. She was looking worried.
It felt like someone had put a hundred tons of weight on my chest. My mind gave me a hundred outcomes. Did anyone kidnap her from the real world? I kept it top secret, it's not possible. Is she hurt? It tensed me.
I scooted out of the room.
My hands were clenched at my side, "KK... " I angrily called out his name.
He was with the laptop, meaning he was already working on it. "Sir, ma'am was near the entrance fifteen minutes ago. The GPS of her phone has been located. First it was something else, and now Khanna's residence." he said.
When I heard Khanna, I was relieved, but I wanted to assure myself and it's not happen until I saw her, " She would be safe there." I told me.
" Here it's location, Sir. " He said.
I called on her number thrice, no reply. I stormed out of the house, boarded in the Range Rover. I followed the route of the GPS. Khanna's residence was thirty minutes away. I wanted to fly out, wanted her in front of me in a second. Unfortunately, it was not allowed in here, when there were a lot of people. KK was with me .
I reached there, I took long strides. She didn't go inside the house, but stood out of it. I was so pissed off. How dare she leave without informing me. I gripped her arm and swiveled her to face me. It did not happen often that I lost my temper. She's my wife now. She couldn't do this. I'll not allow it.
"How dare you? You had intended to meet your friend, At least you can tell me, if not me but some one, Nance? Why didn't you answer my calls? " I was annoyed and shouting at her in a single breath.
She did not utter anything. I ran my eyes on her face and it stopped me. There were tears in her eyes. Her eyes were looking puffy and slightly red.
I reached for her face to caress her cheek, "I shouldn't shout at you. " She didn't respond. I caress her cheek. She did not flinch nor shiver. She was looking broken.
Khanna and his wife came out, They must hear me shouting. It is the first day of our wedding and I am rebuffing her. She didn't even respond to her friend. She was beholding her as she was looking her first time, " Hey! Love. You okay? " Her friend asked. She was just staring at her, blinking tears unstoppable.
" What happened ? " I politely ask.
Shit!!! I shouldn't shout. I cursed myself for being rude to her. "Shael.. " I softly said, touching her face.
I was fully engaged in guessing out. In a blink, She passed out. She was going to hit the ground, but I caught her in my arms. I immediately scooped her up.
"Call the doctor KK, now." I Shouted.
Doctor injected her. "Your wife needs proper rest. I've injected her, She'll be fine till morning. " Doctor told me.
" Thanks, " I muttered.
When I confronted Khanna and his wife. Their faces blanched and they denied to say anything as his wife said that she did not know Shael was here.
I took her home and laid her on the bed. I wanted to know, and dug the matter. What caused her so much pain, " Meet me with Nance, Khanna within five minutes in the hall room." I ordered KK.
" What am I missing? " I asked them. Nobody replied. "She's my responsibility and there she is unconscious. I've lacked the reason. She was in your place Khanna. Tell me." I asked him.
" I have no idea, Sir. We hadn't gotten, ma'am was there until we heard your voice. " Khanna replied.
" I guess she is missing her mother. She loves her most. She shared every tiny detail of her life with her mother. Her mother doesn't know about the wedding. This would have bothered her. " Khanna's wife said.
I tilted down my eyebrows. " I wanna meet her mom now. " I ordered KK.
" Okay, Sir. " he replied and went out to act upon my order.
At night, It was ten o'clock. I was waiting for her to get up and talk to me. I know I shouldn't act so rash. I was so rude to her. I need to control my anger. A strange thing happened today when I lost my temper slightly. Yeah! This was my normal anger which overcast the sky with clouds. Shockingly, it didn't thunder outside.
" Sir, She is here." KK told me and he had a stunned expression on his face.
I didn't bother myself to ask him the reason.
I needed my head, " Send her in. " I told him.
" This way ma'am. " KK was guiding a young girl inside.
I looked at her. I remembered properly, Her file didn't mention that she has a sister or any cousin, except a brother. She was so different from Shael, tanned shin, dark brown eyes, black long hair, totally different from Shael. Shael has peach color skin, chocolate brown eyes, full pink lips longest hair.
" I asked for her mother, not sister and cousin. " I reprimanded him.
" I'm her mother. I'm her actual mother, before you tagged me her step-mother. Let me clear to you. She looks like her father. " She broke the silence.
In the real world this was normal but here, it doubted me, are they human or wizard? But no it can't be. I cleared myself. I've Inquired every detail of Shael. Her father had expired. it's not possible. I allowed this thought to slip. If she is a wizard, she could easily manage to cover it up.
I offered her to sit. She refused, " Let's not beat about the bush. I didn't mean to disturb you. It is extremely important" I told Shael' mom.
" मेरी daughter के नाम पर मुझे इस जगह करो लाया गया है? " She asked in hindi.
" You daughter is my wife now. " I replied. I didn't want to be rude.
I couldn't fathom her expression. Neither she was showing anger nor shock.
After a long pause.
" I don't trust you, I want to speak to my daughter. Where is she? " her Mom asked.
" Shael is taking rest now. You can meet her in the morning." I replied to her.
She lifted her eyebrows. I beckoned KK, " I hope you would like to meet her friend. "
" Sammie!" She said a bit louder.
" Yes, She will give you the rest of the information." I said to her.
Mention of Shael's friend, softened the expression of her face. I was relieved.
She moved toward the door.
" Mrs Malhotra, When you will meet your daughter in the morning. Before taking any step, you need to know this, She is my wife. " I said to her. I've heard Indian parents beat up their kids, slap is normal for them. I'll not tolerate this shit. I came to know once when my cousin told me her father ( my uncle) slapped him. When I asked him to go to the police as I wasn't present in his place and was so far. Then he told me that it was normal here. I fu***** hate such things.
" Huh! Are you threatening me ?" She raved.
"No, Mrs Malhotra, just informing you. I'll not tolerate if someone will try to harm my wife. " I said.
" Huh!!! She is my daughter, before anything else in this world." She frowned and left the room.
I wanted to snap back, but did not. I rubbed my fingers on my forehead. Who thought, this day would end like this. First day I scolded her. I'm the worst husband. No one would do this to his wife.
