Divulging Remorse ✔

Chapter 10

She slowly slid off the stool, turned around and saw Moutasim standing in all his spunk, looking down at her, wearing an evil smile. Riya wasn't surprised because when something had thunked on her head, an alarm went off saying that it might be him and when she felt the egg slithering down the sides of her head, she was sure it was him, only he could dare to do something of the sort.

A cruel sneer formed on her face, her hands twitched and a wave of murderous rage swept her. Riya raised her arm as if she'd slap him but rooted on the spot, she reached behind to quickly grab whatever she could from the kitchen bar. Getting hold of the Nutella jar, she picked it up with shaky hands and dropped it. The glass went flying across the floor, the chocolate spilt over, laying in all its glory in a big blob among the shards.

"What the heck, Riya?" Aleesha glared at her.

She clenched her teeth, turned around and pushed three coffee mugs off the bar. There were three clinks, then a thousand pieces scattered on the other side of the floor.

"Riya, stop it!" Aleesha tried to get hold of her, but she pushed her aside and dashed towards the dish rack.

Hufaiz rolled his eyes, he'd seen this lunacy way too many times to get shocked. Whereas, Shahraz, Wisam and Aleesha got disrupted at Riya's mad hyper reaction. Hufaiz walked out of the kitchen and called everyone, "Get out of there guys, before she hurts anyone of you."

Shahraz and Wisam followed him while Aleesha stayed, in an effort to stop Riya from ruining everything, but it was useless. She threw a plate on the floor, it wobbled continuously without breaking, so she stepped on it and gave it a vigorous kick. The plate thwacked against a cabinet and split apart.

Moutasim stood there, quietly watching her go from one corner to the other, breaking away whatever she got her hands on. She went towards the stove and was about to touch the hot pan when he pulled her away. Turning her to face him, he jeered, "What are you trying to prove?" He snarled, his eyes flashed with indignance.

Aleesha warned from behind, "Moutasim, just don't talk to her right now."

Riya pushed him with all her might but his grip tightened on her arms, "It was a daring game, dammit!" His face became rigid and his jaw clamped tight, giving her a menacing glare he shook her slightly. "Why did you have to react so wildly?" He asked her harshly, demanding an immediate answer.

She turned deaf ear to his delving and continued to loosen his grasp from her arms, punching at his knuckles and pulling his fingertips to force open them. In vain, he was way too strong for her delicate flings. Not finding any other way to pull herself out, she felt a vein pulsing in her forehead and fiercely dug her teeth deep into his wrist. His grip loosened at first, and when the pain became unbearable, he completely let go of her. She threw a look at him, flame of hatred smouldered in her narrowed eyes and she scampered off but he caught her palm with a jerk.

"Moutasim, leave me right at this moment!" She yelled at him and tried yanking away his hand.

Aleesha pleaded she got afraid over the worsened situation, "Moutasim, please."

"Let me go..." Riya continued striking back when he dragged her out of the kitchen and sauntered in the garden.

Aleesha trailed behind, "What are you doing? Moutasim, stop!"

Ignoring Aleesha, he clutched Riya's hand tight, scanned for something and quickly spotted it. Roughly pulled her to the end of the lawn and tried unhooking the garden hose mounted on the wall in a looped bunch of pipes but it didn't come off. Turning the nozzle on right there, a burst of water dribbled down and he pushed her towards the wall under the gushing cascade.
