Chapter 12 |TORPEFY|


    Keya Madhavan


    "You shouldn''t have done this baby girl......" He calmly whispered into my ears.


    I can''t see his face but I know he is fuming with anger, gripping me as tight as he can.


    "Leave me! just leave me!" I kept on shouting, trying to get off his hold, tears dripping out. But never did


    he utter anything or loosen his grip.


    And in no time I was back on the ce from which I tried to run away so hard. I didn''t know how he


    managed to find me and get me back so fast to this resentful ce. But now I was scared of the


    consequences. My whole body was shivering in fear.


    My every hope was getting crushed. I was bing hopeless. Every try was resulting unsessful.


    Will I never escape this ce, from him? Am I trapped here till myst breath? Thinking everything was


    making me more hysterical, my sob was turning louder.


    He dragged me to the same room in which the olddy and the old man were still present.


    "OUT!" One shout of his wrath and they were out of the room while closing the door on their way out.


    He further pulled me until we were across the antique rosewood table, near his PC. He settled on the


    chair and yanked me on hisp.


    I lowered my head trying to control my wavering breath, fiddling with my fingers and just trying to think.


    I have to calm down and stop this weeping, if not I will faint any movement.


    I kept chanting,


    Everything is okay..... everything will be okay......


    "Babe....." He calmly called out, which was enough to startle me. His hands encircled around my waist,


    hugging it.


    "Look, who are they? Do you know them?" He asked, with his chin resting on my shoulder.


    I raised my gaze and it freezes on the screen. I tried my best to not cry out loud.


    On the screen, there was my mother and my sister, my only family. They were walking with their


    baggage which seemed like an airport. A lone drop of tear fell out of my widened eyes.


    "You know them right?" He whispered menacingly, gripping me as tight he can while his head buried in


    the crook of my neck, sniffing it.


    "I will sign it. I will marry you." He wants to hear this only right. I will just agree, cause even if I resist will


    he stop? No.


    He will threaten me until I don''t get down on my knees which I know I''ll do. There is no way I can win


    against him. The only thing which will change is my family might get hurt if I don''t agree now.


    "Oh, my smart babe! If you had shown your smartness a while ago then it would have been so nice


    wouldn''t it be?" He eximed cheerfully and pecked my cheek.


    The olddy and the old man were back again after calling them in.


    "Greetings mydy, I''m Mr. Dahl. Your attorney for marriage. So should we proceed?" The old man


    asked. And by the time another man entered the room standing beside the olddy.


    After I nodded, Mr. Dahl went on shuffling some papers and started to exin everything about


    marriage registration but nothing was reaching my ears. Only one thing ringing in my brain '' No one


    can help me, no one. ''


    " So on the witness of Ms. Olivia and Mr. Warren, the marriage took ce between Mr. Adik Malhotra


    and Ms. Keya Madhavan is pronounced to be legal under thew by a legal practitioner. Please


    signature on the papers." Mr. Dahl said while handing me the pen.


    I signed my fate away, along with the papers. All the while feeling his intense gaze on me. In no time he


    too signed on the paper. I nced at the paper for thest time with both of our signatures on it, before


    Mr. Dahl collected it.


    He reached for my hand and glided the elegant ring down my ring finger, followed by me putting the


    ring on his finger.


    He gave me a tight hug and kissed my lips and delightfully mumbled " I love you Keya!" and stared at


    me for the response.


    "love you too" I responded monotonously, but he still seems to be happy and picked me up in his arms


    before leaving the room and ascending towards the staircase.


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    I nced towards my hand, on my finger where the ring was embracing it perfectly. There was a time


    when I wanted Adik to propose to me with a ring for wedding and thought how happy will I be at that


    time.


    But now, my hand just felt heavy, tired with the undesired article of attachment.


    After reaching the room he changed my soiled clothes into a simr kind of white cotton gown like I


    wore before and medicated my wound on my feet which was from running earlier.


    He wrapped his arm around my waist and snuggled more into my back as much, I can feel his warm


    breaths on my nape. I can feel he is fast asleep from his calm breath and zero movements. I feel like


    those Teddy bears who the child clings on and sleeps the whole night and the Teddy, paralyzed on its


    ce on the bed the whole night.


    The moon was clearly visible to my sight of vision from my position on the bed, through the open


    window and fluttering white curtains. It looks like tomorrow will be a full moon night.


    And abruptly again those wretched tears filled my eyes full.


    Why does everything here reminds me of my past?!! I don''t want to remember all that back


    again!!
