His face neared mine. The fresh aquatic smell that sprung from his body felt pleasing to the senses. The more closer he got, the more nervous I got. This abrupt closeness caused me to flinch and I closed my eyes. I could feel his breath on my face. His sudden display of passion gave me jitters. Thereafter, he backed off and mocked me saying," What sort of a foolish woman are you? It is unfathomable how stupid a person can be ? An unscrupulous woman like you isn't worthy of my fancy and delight. You have no shame, woman !" His words pierced my heart like a needle. I felt my heart becoming heavy . It was as if my legs weren't able to move.
Shame and disgust threw me into deep melancholy. Due to the constant disregard from the only person I loved, I felt a sudden rage inflicting in my heart. I could no longer ignore his words. I walked towards him and slapped him.
He broke my faith and my heart. I figured that I did not need any explanation for his ruthlessness. I knew now what I had to do.
I glared back in his eyes and closed the distance between us.
Then, by grabbing his collar, I spoke in a hoarse voice, "A Man so shameful and disrespectful isn't worthy of my affection anyways. Since you broke my heart, I will never forgive you".
It was apparent that I didn't care anymore for him or about his reasons for being unruly. All I knew was that I needed to get away from that unfilial man. He wasn't the man I fell in love with. The only thing apparent in his eyes was hatred. As I was walking away, he held my arm from the back and pushed me towards him.
My body collided with his hard chest. Then, he pinned me against the wall and said, "You can not escape. This marriage will be your shackles. You will regret hitting me. I will make sure of that".
Then, he left my hand and went away. The moment he left, I began looking for my luggage. I packed all of my things and rushed towards the exit. The moment I went towards the door, a huge man hindered my way and claimed, "You are not allowed to leave. Pardon me, but I am complying with Mr. Seth's order".
Consequently, I was taken back to my room.
While walking back and forth in the bedroom, I uttered, "Why couldn't I see him for the devil he was?"
'From the deepest desires often come the deadliest hate', that is apparently what I felt in that very moment. It was ardent that I needed to plan my escape out of this hell house. I tried to call my mother, but I wasn't able to get through as the number appeared to be out of the service coverage area.
The day went by, and I got tired of trying all of the means for the escape. Nothing seemed to work. Since the wedding I hadn't rested much, so I decided to sleep after getting all freshened up. I went to take a shower, and then made myself food. After eating, I went to my room for resting. Since I didn't wish to be disturbed, I locked the room from the inside. After stairing into the blank space, my eyes began to get heavier. After spending a considerable time sitting, sleep soon took over my heavy eyelids.
At midnight, I heard a knock on the door of my bedroom. Then, a loud coarse voice blasted my ears, "Open the door or the consequences will be grave".
It was Seth. It was hard to figure what that man wanted. I paid no heed to the warning and tried to sleep again. Then, I heard loud bangings on my door.
After getting frustrated, I yelled at the top of my lungs, "If you didn't stop banging the door. I'll call the cops".
Then, he blubbered with agitation, "I would like to see you try".
After getting fed up with the continuous banging, I decided to open the door. The moment I opened it, he fell in my arms and he reeked of alcohol. Though I hated him, I couldn't just let him be, so I carried him towards our bed and sat beside him. Watching his sleeping face, I remembered all the happy moments we shared together. The tears started building up in my eyes.
I wished I could be stronger in that very moment. When I moved my hand towards the under pocket of his blazer, I found his phone. I read his private chats in order to find the reason for his oscillating behaviour.
The one chat in particular which was worth noticing was his chat with his mother. He told her that he will divorce me after a month after ruining me and my family. His mother tried to reason with him, but then he shunned her away. I couldn't believe my eyes. He was a wolf in the form of a lamb. I decided to leave for good. As I was slipping his phone back in his pocket, he held my arm.
Though he wasn't conscious, yet he mumbled something in his sleep
His lips moved slightly and few words slipped right out of his mouth, "I will avenge you Rose".
As far as I knew, Rose was the name of his ex-girlfriend that cheated on him.
Then, he began moving his arms and legs.
I tried to move away from him, but he ended up pushing me towards him.
Consequently, I lied over him. He pressed my head towards his chest and I could hear his heart beating. That intimacy did not give me any delight. I could sense my feelings for him dying and fleeting farther away. The two days that I spent with that man served as the death of me and my emotions. I felt as if my whole self died with my feelings. With violent force, I pushed him away.
Then, I gathered my luggage and ran towards the back door which was unguarded at that moment. My cheeks were entirely drenched in tears while leaving, but I had to comply as I made this choice the moment I was betrayed.
Not willing to negotiate, I decided to progress towards a new destiny that awaited me.
