The Life Of Abhira - Short Stories

Fell For The Innocent - 5

"Explain"

Akshara took a deep breathe before speaking.

"Look Abhimanyu, you are no one to whom I'll give any sort of explanation." She told and folded her hands looking at him. In no time Abhimanyu was standing in front of her. His tall figure hovered her little one.

"I'm your husband Akshara and I've all rights to know about your whereabouts. I want to know why did you lie to me all these days." He asked. Abhimanyu stood very close to her. She could feel his breathe on her face as he whispered.

"I never lied to you."

"Ya of course you did not. You always told me that you were in the departmental store" He chuckled sarcastically.

"And you never asked me the whole time, why was I in the departmental store again and again" She gave me the challenging look.

"Akshara" He called out dangerously.

"And talking about you being my husband? Abhimanyu I'm your wife too, but you never tell me about your whereabouts. I don't know anything about you other than the fact that you are an doctor. You stay with your girlfriend all nights, make love to her come back home with those hickey marks and then give me silent treatment as if I am no one to you. You asked me to not interrupt your life, then even same goes to you. You too don't have any rights to interfere in my life" She shouted on his face.

And the next moment she knew, she was pushed into the wall, with his body being pressed to her. She saw Abhimanyu's eyes turning red. He was angry - scratch- damn angry.

"Ab.. Abhimanyu.. Wha.. What are you doing" She asked.

He did not reply and kept his hand on either side of the wall, blocking her way.

"Do not. I repeat, do not use that tone on me Akshara. I don't give the fuck about your whereabouts. It's just, you are very new to here and if something goes wrong then I've to be answerable to your family to which I should to about you and about the people you hang with. Because I don't want your family to blame for your carelessness and free attitude." He whispered in her ears.

Akshara's legs started to give up. Is she wasn't trapped between him and the wall and his hands wouldn't be blocking her, she would have touched the floor long ago.

"I want you to give you your resignation there. Half of my relatives and friends stay here and if any of them gets to know that my wife is working in a departmental store then it would bring insult to me and my family. And I don't think you want to them to feel insulted. Do you?" He asked. Akshara looked down and shook her head. With his fingers he lifted her chin and made her look into his eyes.

"Look at me when I speak. And please speak. I need words. Because mins ago, I remember you were speaking like sherni, which you are not." He smirked.

"I re.. I understand Abhimanyu. I.. I promise not to work there anymore" She said.

"Good" He whispered near her lips. They were just few inches way to have a kiss.

Currently Abhimanyu was in the closet getting changed. Akshara immediately laid on her side of the bed, covering herself with the duvet and eyes tightly shut. Dry tear marks were clearly seen on her face. She, now again has to stay in this large house all alone.

Suddenly she felt the other side of the bed sinking down, Abhimanyu has already changed and is now lying down beside her.

"Turn around" He told.

Akshara chose to remain quiet and not do as he said.

"I know Akshara you are awake, I want you to turn around or I'll do the honour." He said.
