Chapter 19

Sakshi PoV:

After a week, Randhir came to visit me. I went to him happily and hugged him. But he didn't react and silently went to the room. I followed him.

"Is everything ok?"

"Not at all. Do you remember Aayudh?"

"Aayu...Aayudh?? I don't know who is he."

I got shocked listening his question and lied to him as I don't understand what to tell about him to Randhir.

He caught my wrist tightly. His face is burning with anger.

"Tell me the truth, Sakshi."

"I really don't know about him."

He slapped me.

"Ran...Randhir. I don't understand why are you so angry with me."

"What is your relationship with Aayudh?"

I closed my eyes and started crying remembering the past which is a nightmare in my life. The day which changed my life. The most unmemorable day which made me lifeless and hopeless.

I didn't understand how to answer his question. What is my relationship with Aayudh? Should I say he is my friend or enemy? Should I tell him that he saved my life or spoiled my life? Is he my saviour or slayer? What should I tell him? Except Ajay, no one including my parents know this.

Because of that person, I realised what is Randhir and how important he is to me. Because of the same person, I didn't meet Randhir in these two years. I didn't know how Randhir know this. Now my future seemed totally dark. I can't even imagine what is going to come next.

Randhir tightened his grip on my wrist. Again Randhir who hates me is back. His nails went into my soft skin because of the tight grip. I felt blood coming out. But I didn't even scream. My feelings inside my heart is hurting me more than this wound.

The past related to Aayudh started appearing before my eyes making me emotionless and dead though I am alive. He slowly left my hand turning me towards him to face him.

"Hiding truth from me do no good to you. It just creates more gap between us. I am sorry for slapping you. I didn't like you hiding anything from me."

"Divorce me, Randhir. Marry anyone you like. I am ready to go out from your life completely."

I want him to say no. But I know he will agree. I don't think even after knowing about Aayudh, he accepts me.

"No. Whatever it is, I won't free you from this relationship. Whether it's revenge or love, I can show it only when you are with me. Just be with me till I free you. Worst is going to come for hiding it from me."

I am scared of him but not shocked. Because I know Randhir loves me so much. It makes him so angry whenever I do something wrong. I know I am wrong this time too. I did something which no husband forgives or forgets.

He came near to my left cheek. His warm breathe touched my cheek. He inhaled my fragrance making be unstable. I thought to move away.

"Don't move even an inch."

I stopped without moving. He looked at me from head to toe. He slowly touched my belly. I shivered and stopped myself by biting my lip. He bent down and kissed my belly.

"You are saved just because of our child today."

I sighed with relief as I understood he is not going to hurt me.

"But just for two more months. After your delivery, you are going to see what is waiting for you. Till then just enjoy my love which you know is fake. Experiencing the love that is fake will be something different."

"Randhir, please leave me."

"I won't. The moment I tied this knot to you, you became mine forever. Now I won't leave you ever."

"So you are going to torture me again, right? However I got habituated to it."

He pulled me more close to him and kissed me on my lips. He left me.

"Did you remember your first husband Mr. Aayudh when I kiss you?"

I stood as a statue shocking at his question.

"Did you remember him on our first night?"

Tears flowed from my eyes. I bent my head accepting my fault of hiding it from him.

"Why did you cheat me again? Tell me. Damn it."

I can't say anything to him.

"How did you know Aayudh? When did you marry him? Why did you kill him? Don't you feel it is important to tell me before our marriage or atleast after the marriage?"

"I love you, Randhir," he stopped his questioning and looked at me.

"Then why did you marry him?"

"I am ready to do whatever you say. But right now I can't say anything to you."

Randhir left me and went away. He didn't call me nor received my call. It's one month now. He didn't visit me atleast once after that incident. He totally ignored me.
