CHAPTER 20
Mayil is standing in the middle of the room. The room is decorated very beautifully. All around, the scented candles are shining as if the stars themselves have descended from the sky today to illuminate the room with their own light.
The whole room is full of Mrityunjay and her pre-bridal photographs, where she can recognize her smile, which was fake, but seeing Mrityunjay's smile, it does not seem from anywhere that it is fake. In every picture, he is so happy to see her smiling, as if he has really found his world.
Looking everywhere in the room, she is inspecting everything very well. Two to three women come into the room, bowing their heads and wearing the same type of uniform, standing in front of her. Mayil starts looking at them. One of the girls comes forward and tells her without raising her head.
"Mam, we have been sent by Sir to help you... It is very heavy bridal attire, and you are very tired from all the functions. We are here to help you."
Mayil is standing quietly. The girls take her towards the dressing table and slowly take out all her ornaments and pins from her hair, keeping it in order. Then take her for a warm bath, which really soothes her aching body. She feels very relaxed now. When they come out of the bathroom, they see Mrityunjay standing quietly with his hands in his pockets. Seeing him, all the girls bow their heads and leave from there. Mayil is wearing a red satin nightie.
Mayil is now a bit upset seeing Mrityunjay suddenly in front of her, as he is currently alone in the room with her. Nothing is going well in her mind.
"It is a long way to touch you, even if someone sees you, and I will kill that person."
Mrityunjay walks to Mayil in very slow steps. Mayil is standing there, as if immersed in her thoughts. He holds her hand, due to which she suddenly comes out of her deep thoughts.
"Come have something. I know you didn't eat anything there."
"I don't want anything, Mr.Sisodiya."
"It's Jay for you, and I am telling you this is the last time... Come eat something."
"I really don't feel like eating anything right now."
"Fine, then take some shake or juice... Because you have to take some medicine."
Mayil knows very well that she cannot argue without reason. So she nods her head lightly and agrees. Mrityunjay immediately asks to bring a shake over the intercom so that Mayil can drink and take medicine. Mayil looked at his back, and in her mind, a loud voice was screaming.
"I hate you... I hate you... You are a devil... How can you do this to anyone?"
After talking on the intercom, when Mrityunjay turns and looks at Mayil, she is standing in the same place. But her thinking is as if she were going somewhere else. He calls Mayil.
"Mahi..."
She immediately turns toward him, but she looks very different from before. He comes to her again with quick steps and, checking her temperature, holds her lightly by the shoulder and tells her, forcing her to look further towards him.
"Mahi... Hey, Mahi..."
But drops of sweat appear on Mayil's face. She doesn't know to whom she was saying everything with so much hatred, but she can feel the hatred very well in her voice. She feels like she will faint at any time.
Mrityunjay immediately makes her sit close to him on the sofa and lightly feeds her water. She also starts drinking water in such a way that it seems as if she has been thirsty since birth. Soon the maid arrives there with a banana shake. Mrityunjay immediately lifts the glass from the tray and puts it in Mayil's mouth so that she can drink it and take medicine as soon as possible.
Mayil also wants to rest, but she does not know at all what Mrityunjay wants because she has married him, but she has not been able to prepare herself at all. And neither she has spoken to Mrityunjay about this nor has Mrityunjay told her anything; she wants to talk to him, but she is afraid because if she does, it will let him withhold all the funds that he gives her. Spending on her father's company.
Mayil still has half a glass of banana shake in hand. Mrityunjay, sitting nearby, is checking her medicines very well, and Mayil's attention is only on Mrityunjay's face, which looks like he really cares a lot about her. He suddenly asks.
"What are you checking?"
She doesn't give him any answers. She just starts drinking her banana shake, due to which he keeps on doing his work by smiling lightly. After some time, he gives her medicine, which she takes silently.
After taking the medicine, Mrityunjay lifts her in his arms, due to which she clenches his T-shirt snugly in her fists. No words came out of her mouth, but her trembling lips explained her condition much better.
Seeing her face, Mrityunjay takes her toward the bed. where he makes her lie down gently in such a manner as if she were a delicate porcelain doll, which if he touched a little bit hard, she would break. He touches her face lightly with his knuckles and says,.
"Are you afraid, my feisty queen?"
On hearing this comment, Mayil does not understand what brave act she has done in front of him, due to which he is calling her feisty here.
"Feisty, what have I done?"
"A lot.... It is already very late... Sleep comfortably; don't worry about anything."
He kisses her forehead and cheeks, which are not unfamiliar to her, But why. He covers her properly, comes to his side, and lays down just next to her. He immediately cages her in his arms and says,.
"I know very well that you are not ready, and I am also in no hurry for anything, but you also cannot stop me from touching you, kissing you, and hugging you."
She feels very strange hearing his words. She starts seeing him with her eyes widening, due to which Mrityunjay smiles and immediately kisses her on the head again and tells her.
"Good night, sweetheart..."
Very soon she is in the lap of sleep, as she has been given sleeping medicine along with other medicines. Mrityunjay, smiling and resting his elbow on the bed, keeping his face well on the palm, starts looking at Mayil. He is just looking at Mayil's face with love and saying,.
"Today I did exactly what you wanted. According to your wish, I have married you in front of the whole world. According to your wish, I have done everything that you wanted from me. That thing is different in that you don't remember anything. But how can I forget anything? I made a promise to you, and today I have kept every promise and will continue to keep every promise."
He kisses her lips gently, embraces her securely in his arms, and closes his eyes to take the best of his sleep.
Mayil is safe in his arms; nothing makes him happier than that. He has just closed his eyes and gone to his own different world. Where he spent very beautiful moments with Mayil.
Mayil is sleeping due to the effects of medicine, but her mind is running faster than anything.
Dream
She sits behind the bushes and can see him comfortably; she sees his face clearly, but she can sense that she knows him. He is trying to find her by running his eagle eyes everywhere, but he is not getting her anywhere. He Roars.
"Mayil.... Mayil...."
His loud, strong voice scares anyone, and the same is the case with Mayil. She is getting very nervous with every passing minute, and he undid the buttons of the cuffs, rolled his shirt up to the elbow, and said it loudly.
"Look, I am telling you very lovingly to come out because if you do not listen to me, the punishment will be very hard. Again, I am saying it very hard. Are you listening, little girl?"
She covers her mouth with both hands so that no sound can come out at all and starts looking around so that she can run away from there by diverting his attention.
She starts moving slowly with absolutely subdued steps, but because a dry stick comes under her shoes and breaks immediately, in this quiet environment, this sound is so loud that one can easily hear it.
He immediately turns towards her; she also sees him, and both of their eyes meet each other.
Mahi is seeing all this in her dream, but her struggle is also going on with herself because she is not able to see that man's face clearly. But she is pretty sure that she knows him.
"I know him... I know him."
In this fight between dreams and reality, that person starts coming close to her. As soon as she realizes he is coming toward her, she quickly starts running away from him.
But without any delay, he immediately comes in front of her and grabs her hand to cage her in his strong arms and holds her tightly very close to himself so that she can feel his breath on her face, and he eats this distance also and says in a very dangerous tone in her ear.
"Nobody can save you from me... You are mine... Only mine."
She wriggles badly in his arms, and he is enjoying her situation. He grabbed her jaw tightly and said it again.
"Can't you understand, "YOU ARE MINE... ONLY MINE..."
She sits down with a jerk. Mrityunjay, who was sleeping near her, felt her uneasiness from the start, so he sat down with her. She is taking deep breaths; both her hands are on her chest. He fed her water while rubbing her back, and she drank water silently.
"Are you okay, Mahi? Shall I call the doctor?"
But Mayil is not listening to his words. Everything was clear today. She felt that man very closely, except for that man's face. It seemed to her that she knew him, but she could not recognize him at all.
"MAHI...."
His voice attracts her attention. She turns and looks at him with strange eyes. His voice is attracting her very much. She immediately asked.
"Do we both already know each other?”
