Abandoned wife

Chapter 21

"What are you doing here? Who told you to come here?" infuriated Smita asked to Akshay who came for her bail.

"I am doing what I suppose to do. Now cooperate." he said sternly.

"I don't need your help so get lost."

"My child need you." Akshay said and his sentence fueled the fury of Smita.

"Listen Mister, she is my child not yours. "

"Really Smita, you are getting dumber with each passing day. I said you earlier and again saying a woman can't conceive alone so shut up ."he said with equal rage.

" Hey, you two stop quarreling like street goons in my police station. "ACP Arjun interrupted." Mr. Ranawat you are well known business please behave like that and Mrs. Ranawat are on bail so please leave. "

Smita is not vindictive or untamed distructive force but his behaviour shocked her. She didn't expected this from him and didn't knew how to comprehend the fact so acted just like him. He use taunt and insults to safeguard his walls and she did it too.

"Mummy, where you have been. I searched you everywhere. I was so disturbed and he promised me that you will be here till evening." Akshita engulfed her. There is lines of dried tears on her face. She is exhausted by absence of her mother.

"I am sorry shona. Some emergency came and I forgot to tell you. Next time Mumma won't go anywhere without informing you." Smita lift her in her arms. She caressed her back to ease the tension in her daughter.

"Have you ate anything or not? Smita asked and answer is obvious. She immediately headed into kitchen to prepare grilled cheese capsicum sandwich which is Akshita's favourite. She feed sandwich to her daughter and prepare one plate for herself. Smita placed plate of sandwich on centre table of their room and went into washroom for fresh n up.
Aroma of the food is irresistible for Akshay and he searched the source. One plate of sandwich placed in the mid of table. He picked the sandwich and...

"Don't you dare Akshay" Smita shouted from the door step.
He raised his eyebrows, shrugged his shoulders and ate one bite. Smita ran towards him to grab her hard worked sandwich. Sandwich is not the big deal and can be prepared within minutes but something is in the time and situation. He is interfering in everything she does. He accuses her of that unfateful tragic incident and when she went for punishment he dismissed everything. She knew Akshita's need but she didn't want to deal with him at the moment. All she wants is to eat and sleep and his actions infuriate her.

"Akshay return back my sandwich." She stomped her feet.

He tries to eat but she ran towards him and tries to snatch the piece. In that process his feet stumbled and they fall on the bed. Their eyes locked. It could be most romantic moments for a couple but they are not lucky enough.Akshay wants to get away but didn't, she can feel rejected again. Smita doesn't get away to see his actions. They didn't know what is the equation between them.
Is love alive in hearts or it was a facade which fade away with time.

Their story is twisted in a way that neither Smita nor Akshay know what will be their next step.
They don't know this ship will sail or doomed.
Its so much mess and chaos both internally and externally.
It seems they were not meant for each other but caught up in the trap of arrange marriage.

Why love can't be simple?

Court room

The advocate narrated whole case in brief to the judge.

"My lord,the case is crystal clear Mrs Smita Surana planned this whole scenario very cleverly and killed everyone for her own benefit. I request you to punish her so no one will dare to do such heinous crime again." one lawyer said.
