Burning in Revenge

Forget Past

Aishwarya's POV 

My left arm is aching. I think I slept in same posture whole night.  I tried to move but something held my hand. I opened my eyes, Vicky is sleeping holding my hand. He is sitting on floor with his head on bed.

I cursed myself for asking him to stay with me till I sleep. I thought of waking him but didn't feel like disturbing him looking at his face. I couldn't help but think how handsome he is. He is always so caring, loves me so much. Should I forget past and be happy with Vicky? 

He confessed that he love me to his parents and married me with all the rituals. If he wanted to hurt me he wouldn't have done that.  Does he truly love me? Should I forgive him? 

I don't know. That letter is not leaving my brain.

"Aishu" 

Hearing aunty's voice I came out of my thoughts 

I looked at the door, aunty is inside my room. Vicky is still sleeping holding my hand

"Sorry to disturb....Hmm... I knocked the door several times. You didn't respond,  it's  getting late. So I came inside" aunty said smiling 

"Aunty... it's not..." I didn't even know what to say. It would be silly to sat 'It's not what it looks like

"Wake him up too" aunty said leaving 

"Lock the door next time" aunty added before leaving 

This is embarrassing 

"Vicky" I called 

"Good morning" he said opening his eyes

"Ahh" he screamed holding his neck

"Is it hurting" I asked touching his neck

I got the ointment and massaged his neck. He was staring at me all the while, smiling.

"Why didn't you go back to your room, aunty was here. You know how embarrassing it was..." i said 

"Why is it embarrassing? Oh, I get it... not sharing bed with husband? It's ok, don't worry, we will share from tonight. I love you" he said kissing my cheeks and went away while I stood in shock. He wants to share my bed?

I got ready but I'm scared to go downstairs. Not exactly scared, don't even know the feeling. How do I face aunty after she saw me and Vicky in same room like that. 

'Don't be a coward! Vicky is your husband and all wife and husbands sleep in same bed' my brain scolded me

It's getting late, having no choice I climbed downstairs. I looked around, no one is there. I thanked god in my heart and went to dining room. Pongal and sambar vada was in hot box. I ate fast and tried to escape but aunty came.

"There is no need to be embarrassed. You are married to Vicky. I would be the happiest person if you accept Vicky as husband heartfully. Don't think that I got you married because of Rehaan. I would have asked you soon about it.  

I felt so good when Rehaan addressed us as your in laws and Vicky's wife when he first came here. I have been thinking about it since that day. Nothing changed between us Aishu, why are behaving like this, trying to hide from me" Aunty asked sadly

"I don't know aunty" I said honestly not wanting to lie that I'm fine 

"It's ok, come out of it. Remember I love you so much" aunty said

"I love you aunty, you are the best" I said hugging her

"Aishu... I see love in Vicky's eyes for you. You too care for him. Can you forget past and lead happy life with him as wife and husband. Think about it Aishu not for just for us or Vicky but for you and my grand baby too" aunty said emotionally 

I hugged her. She addressed my baby as her grand child. This is actually her grand baby but she doesn't know that.  According to her its someone's.

"I want your happiness,  I don't want to see tears anymore" aunty said wiping my tears and kissed my forehead 

Aunty gave me lunch boxes and I went to hospital
