LOGINI was looking outside the window. The scene was beautiful. I could see the garden then river and forest above it. It felt good here even though I was quite frustrated not being answered but I didn't want to go back to my parent's house. They were so cruel to me. There I was always depressed. They always found a way to taunt me and from day to night I had to hear them say how pathetic I was but I didn't want to stay here too. They were strangers and I don't know their intention. Why do they even want me here? I mean what could a girl like me give them? They are already so rich themselves.
"Hey" I heard a voice which I recognize to be Rima's. I didn't bother to turn.
"O..key I will answer all the questions you have in your mind."
I then slowly looked at her not believing.
"Come here, sit," she said patting the bed
"How long have I been here?" I started to ask questions.
"Almost two weeks."
"Who...aat?" I said in shocked.
"You were in a coma for four days."
"Ohhh..."
"I guess you and your lover live here ?" I asked and she laughed shaking her head. Did I say some kind of a joke?
"He is my brother," she said smiling.
I knew they were related but brother? I mean couples seem alike too after they have been together for years.
"So you guys kidnapped me?"
"No,"
"Then why can't I leave?" I finally asked the same question I had been asking.
"Because my brother doesn't want you to." This got me angry and confused.
"And who is your brother? Some kind of mafia or king?" I snapped.
She just smiled.
"Why am I here for?" I stood.
"You have to ask him."
"Now, that's enough. You are not answering properly and not telling me the truth." I said blood boiling in my veins and was about to leave when she stopped me.
"Calm down, I will tell you the truth."
Truth? Oh yeah, I knew it. They have kidnapped me.
"He doesn't want you to leave cause he wants you here."
"And why does he wants me here?" Something came on my mind. She was about to reply when I cut her off showing my hand.
"Oh....wait. He wants me to pay him back, isn't it? He saved my life so I have to pay him for that." I said and she looked at me with wide eyes.
"It's not what you think."
I went towards the window.
"Go and tell your brother he can't keep me long and when I get back I will pay him."
I don't know how am I gonna pay him. I don't have a job and my parents, ugh. It sucks to even think about them.
I heard her footsteps leave but before she left, I asked her that very question. "Why were his eyes dark the other day when I first saw him in the garden?"
She turned and was silent for some time.
"I don't think you are ready for the answer," she said and left.
What the hell is wrong with these two? They live in this big mansion with some guards and maids. They say I am not kidnapped but won't let me leave. I know they want money but why would they want money from me? I mean they are so rich. I wanted to leave and there was only one person that could answer my questions and let me go.
I went straight to his door and knocked but no answer came from inside. I waited a while outside and went inside but no one was there. The room was very big. I searched for him everywhere.
"It's bad to stalk other's bedroom." I heard him say. He was looking at me folding his arms. I went to him and studied his face. He raised a brow.
"What?" He asked.
I rolled my eyes "Why were your eyes dark the other day?"
He didn't say anything. I looked at him waiting for the answer.
"Oh my God" he looked at me confused "I was right you are the devil and I am in hell."
I heard him chuckle.
I narrowed my eyes "You find it funny that now I am a devil?" I asked.
"Nothing just...."
"No way" I cut him off "I am dead that's why you won't let me go." I almost screamed.
"I am living with a devil," I said more to myself.
"I am not a devil," He said
"Then why were your eyes dark the other day?" I demanded, putting my hands on my hips. He didn't say anything, just stared at me. Maybe he found it amusing but not me.
"Bloody devil,"
Smile escaped from his mouth. I rolled my eyes and was about to leave when I realized I was not done yet so I came back.
"Why do you want me here? what is it that you want from me?" I almost screamed in frustration.
"Or, oh gosh. Don't tell me you are that type of guy who would let me go if I...." I couldn't say it. "sle...." I was about to say it. He looked at me in realization and covered my mouth and pushed me to the wall.
"Don't you dare say it. You think that's my intention?" he shook his head then looked at me. My heart was beating faster. His eyes were so beautiful that I couldn't stop myself from staring. He let go of me and turned around.
"I thought you hated that life."
I did
"I didn't know you wanted to die."
"Wait, how did you know I hated my life?" I asked.
"I assumed.....a-h- by looking at your unconscious body. Anyone would have assumed that" he said shrugging.
"I know you want something from me, tell me what is it?" I demanded.
I didn't have anything to give him except my body and no way I would agree to that.
"You," I barely heard him.
Did he just say that?
"In your dreams," I said to myself, I am sure he wants my body, Boka.
( Boka= playboy or a guy who wants girl only for sex. )
"Hey, you. What do you want?" I asked My patience getting thinner.
"I want to make a deal."
Do I look like some kind of businesswoman?" I spat.
"You have to marry me."
I stood still, not believing what he said.
"What did you say ?" I almost yelled and went near him but he didn't bother to look at me.
"If you want to get free from here you have to marry me."
"Are you fucking kidding me? How come I will be free if I marry you?" I glared at him. I wanted to fucking kill him.
He stood silent, still his back facing me.
"Just dream about it, you devil. Not gonna happen. I never asked you to save me at first." I said and left.
I was still furious about the kiss and more than that he forgot me while she was there. I skipped breakfast so I don't have to see him. I came down to tell Tina that I will be preparing for lunch. Tina told me not to make food spicy because he doesn't eat spicy food.I told her, I will make sure about it but guess what? I made it so spicy that even the spicy lover wouldn't eat it. I giggled thinking about how I am gonna make him pay and imagined him rushing to drink milk or water.I knew that it would make him angry but who cares. After lunch was ready I told Tina to call him but he didn't come out so Tina took food to his office. I felt quite bad about it and thought of making the food again."No, he deserves it," I told myself.Food was too spicy and what if he doesn't eat it and stays hungry? The thought of him staying hungry made me feel bad more than him being angry. Tina came out with the message that he wants
Next morning, After I prepared breakfast I went to the garden without having it because when I asked tina to call him, she said he wasn't in his office. I was enjoying gardening when he came with breakfast. I looked at him and he smiled. I washed my hands and sat on the bench. We then ate in silence."If you don't mind, I was thinking.. if...you know..i .... I want to take you out...." He said nervously, playing with his hand. I looked at him and laughed a little. Was he nervous?I just sat there looking at him and he frowned looking at his hands when I didn't say anything."For... Dinner," he said nervously."I didn't mean to.....laugh," I said feeling bad and He nodded.Question filled my mind. I mean he never asked me to go out before."Before? Girl you have been married for what maybe 10 days?" I told myself. I was in my own thought while he was looking at me, waitin
We came back after like maybe two hours. The crowd was huge and the line... oh don't ask about the line in the temple. I was worn out. My legs were hurt and my feet were aching. We came inside and found out rima had already left. I went straight to the room and remembered that I haven't thanked him. He entered the room and I could see he was exhausted. He gave me a tired smile."Thanks," I said and he just looked at me for awhile, probably thinking why."For this," I said showing sari.He nodded. Even though I was angry at his behaviour that gift meant a lot to me. After some time he went out and I was all alone in the room.I was fasting and.... for his long life. Yes, for him. I thought I would be able to fast without drinking a drop of water but as time passed it became difficult for me. I know this marriage was fake and he forced me in it but I don't know why I was fasting for him. I know it's kinda weird.
I went straight to take the shower cause I wanted to cool my mind. I sat on the shower feeling bad about everything. My energy was totally drained. I shouldn't have gone there but if I had not, they would have come here or called devil to visit them. Anyhow they would have made me go there.I came out and got ready to sleep but there was no sign of him. I looked around, went to his office but he was not there. I came back and sat on the bed. Where was he? I got up and looked outside from the window and he was in the garden. He was still in the same clothes that he wore in the morning. He didn't come up to change? Or oh, he went directly to the garden?I felt confused and then realized, holy crap. Is he mad because of what happened in the car? Or he must have felt bad but why would I care? I rolled my eyes and went to watch series but couldn't focus on it. After some time I looked at the watch and it was almost 12 but he had not come back
The next morning, I was all alone in the bed. I don't know why but I didn't like it. Today we were going to my parent's house so I got dressed. Dar was at night but prarthi told me to come early. I stood at the window admiring the day and waiting for him but as I looked down he was on the bench reading newspaper. Was he not going with me? Maybe he doesn't want to go? Why would he? But I know they called us just because they wanted to see him more than me.My legs took me to the garden. I stood staring at his back, thinking if I should go near him or not. He kept the newspaper and looked straight. what if he says he doesn't want to go? What am I gonna say to my sister? My parents will taunt me the whole day for not being able to bring him. No, I will beg him to go with me.I slowly went and sat on the bench. Tina brought tea for both of us. She smiled and left. I sat there watching at the trees thinking about how to ask him and then finally I said.&n
I was in the garden when I got a call from my sister. She told me they were expecting us tomorrow for Dar. Hell, I didn't even know Teej was already here. I have no new sari. Obviously, they would expect you to wear a sari. I don't want to and I only have that two sari's I wore on our wedding day.(Teej is a festival where Nepali women celebrate by keeping fast for the long age of their husband or young girls keep fast to get a nice husband. Some even keep fast without drinking water. )I went inside and Rima was there with the devil, talking. I was about to go towards my room when Rima called me. I stopped and turned to look at her. Devil was also looking at me. Our eyes met but I focused my attention towards Rima."Hey," she said. What shocked me was she hugged me but I didn't hug her back. She hugged me so suddenly. I wasn't expecting that. I mean, I don't expect anything from anyone but that was something I would never thi
