Cruel husband

1

Neha's pov :

My gaze fell on Vikram who is standing on the door and looking at me and Hercules with tear-filled eyes.

His tears clenched my heart in pain and agony. I used all my power and pushed Hercules away from me.

Hercules stares at me then he turned around and look at Vikram.

"So finally lover boy is here, to meet his love," said Hercules but my eyes are only staring at Vikram and Vikram's eyes are staring at me.

I want to explain myself to him, I want to tell him that I don't like Hercules, but what if he asks me "why you were kissing him?" That question starts ringing in my head. No words come out of my mouth, my tongue is shivering in guilt and shame.

"You can talk to her and ask her if she wants to come with you or not?" Said Hercules in his signature rude tone but Vikram didn't react.

Vikram starts ambling towards me very slowly and my heartbeat starts raising every second.

In few seconds he stand in front of me, and start looking at me with his innocent eyes, I didn't see any hate in his eyes for me.

I just don't want to feel like a w***e in front of Vikram that's why I kept my mouth mum. If Vikram will take out his anger on me, I won't say a signal word to him, I deserve his anger.  

But something weird happened, Vikram cupped my face and start looking at my lips, I can feel the penetrating gaze of Hercules on me and Vikram, rage is radiating from his body and I can feel that rage on my skin.

I felt Vikram's hard fingers on my lips and for a second I distract myself from Hercules and focused my attention on Vikram.

Tears fell from Vikram which he was holding from the last five minutes in his eyes. I felt so helpless at this moment, I turn my gaze towards her Hercules to beg him but his hard gaze is enough to tell me "don't f*****g dare to make any mistake "

But still, I cupped the face of Vikram and wiped his tears with my thumb, he closed his eyes like he got some kind of pleasure from my touch.

Vikram opened his eyes and gave me a forced smile, "if you tell me whatever I saw was my illusion I'll believe you blindly," he said and his words broke me brutally.

I leave his face and took two steps away from me, " Do love make people blind?" I Asked Vikram in a very low tone but he didn't give me any reply.

I tilt my head up and look into the moist eyes of Vikram. " move on in your life Vikram, find some girl and marry her. That girl will be the luckiest in this world because she'll get you as her husband. I wish I could make you mine and fall in love with you but that's not possible at least not in this birth, " I told him the truth that I'll never fall in love with him and he starts shaking his head.

"Please.......please....don't say this to me.......please don't......I'll wait for you, " Vikram said in a very emotional tone, his pain is hurting so much.

"You already waited for me so long Vikram, how much you'll wait for me. Your family needs someone for you, who'll take care of you and your home but I am so f****d up. Nothing is stable in my life, I have no destination, no Aim, no goals except one. At this moment you are saying that you'll stand with me but when the reality of life will hit you, then you'll understand everything and I don't want that for both of us, " I tried to make him understand but Vikram held my both hands tightly like he is scared to lose me.

"Nothing will happen, I promise I'll stay by your side," Vikram said but before I give him any proper reply Hercules jerk me towards him and my softback collide with his stone-like chest so hard, Hercules snaked his one arm around my waist and with another hand, he intertwined our palms like we are loves.

"Next time touch my wife in front of me and you'll lose, your both hands. She said that she doesn't want you and this is what you wanted to hear from her now you can f**k off and never show me your face again," said Hercules to Vikram but his harsh words didn't affect Vikram, he is so busy in staring at the grip of Hercules on my body.

I can feel the pain of Vikram, that's why I try to push the hands of Hercules off of me but that bastard grip is so hard on my waist, when I didn't stop pushing him away from me, he squeezed me into his body and I felt a sharp pain, I felt like he'll crush every bone of mine into his arms.

I felt Hercules's lips near my ears and hair rose on my skin. "Try to push me again and I'll make you see the hell from earth, " his words sent a chill to my spine and I froze in his arms.

"You are threatening her Hercules, leave her and let her come with me, " said Vikram, I can see rage and revenge in his eyes.

"Loverboy I am keeping her with me because of her one mistake but if you make her my wilfulness then no one can take her from me, " said Hercules and I tilt my head to look at him.

"It's better if you leave my mansion before my man throws you out from here, " said Hercules in a very cold tone, and I turn my gaze towards Vikram, who is still standing in the same place.

I tried to push Hercules but his grip becomes so painful on my waist. " please...." I pleaded with Hercules and he looks at me.

"You have only five minutes to throw him out of the mansion, " he warned me and leave my waist.

Vikram cupped my face "let's go with me, I'll protect you I promise.... " he said but I shook my head in no manner. I see so much pain in his eyes but I choose to ignore it.

"We can never stay happy Vikram. I can never look at you as a woman Look at her man. You deserve someone better, someone, who is not destroyed by anyone, someone who only rains her love on you. You know how complicated I am, you know I am a free bird, let me fly " I said to him and he took two steps back.

"You only accepted my marriage proposal because of your family right? " he asked me and I honestly nod my head.

"There was one more reason, I wanted to forget that person who hurt me so deeply, who made me stone-hearted. I found a good guy in you, and you were ready to compromise your whole life with me. When that told me you love me, I thought to give you your love and that's why I said yes. " I said to him and he turned around to leave the mansion but I held his hand and fall on his knees.

I joined both hands and tears fall from my eyes. "Please forgive me Vikram.....please.....I am sorry........I am sorry, " I begged in front of Vikram for his forgiveness.

He held my both arms and made me get up, "you can curse me, you can slap me if you want, you can hate me but please say something don't go like this........" I said to him but he shook his head. He wiped my tears with his thumbs and kissed my head.

"I loved you Neha and I can never curse the girl whom I see as my angel. " his words shocked me and my body become rigid. He cupped my face and look into my eyes.

"I wasn't your dream boy, you never see me as I see you but for your family, you agreed to marry me. You agreed to come with this monster to this strange country because you were scared of me and your family. I can never hate that girl who was always honest with me. It was my problem that I fall for you, it was my mistake that I was............" Vikram stopped and hugged me so tightly. I hugged him back, my heart is burning with pain and my soul is turning into ashes.

I hurt him the way Aryan hurt me, his words are making me realize how deeply he loves me. "Why...Why you love me so much Vikram......when I hadn't done anything good with you...? " I asked him.

"I wish I could explain to you what you are to me Neha......I wish I could explain to you, your beautiful brown eyes and how the sound of your voice gives me butterflies. How your smile makes my heart skip a beat, and how every time I am with you. I feel so complete. " he said and I smiled painfully.

"Don't.......Don't..... Say such words please " I said to him my chest is burning in the ocean of his tears.

"Someone who truly loves you sees what mess you can be, how moody you can get, and how hard you can be handle, but still wants you. I get the best feeling in the world when you said yes to marry me. Don't worry I'll never hate you, " he said and take out his bracelet from his hand and made me wear it.

Then he pats my cheek "stay safe and remember one thing, I am only one call away from you, " he said to me and I fisted his shirt tightly.

"I'll never forgive myself Vikram......" I said to him, his words completely shattered me and all my strength which I gathered to face him.

"It's still so difficult for me to understand why you love me so much, " I said to him once again and he showed me his bracelet "this bracelet will help you to know how much you matter in my life," he said to me and I look at the bracelet then I look at him.

Vikram slowly leaves my hand and starts ambling towards the exit door. And I, I only stare at the man who loves me so much and I pushed him out of my life like an i***t.

I once again fall on my knees, I can feel the hard gaze of Hercules on me but he didn't come near me.  I completely ignored his presence and look at the bracelet which Vikram made me wear.

When someone cries so hard that it hurts their throat, it is out of frustration or knowing that no matter what you can do or attempt to do can change the situation. When you feel like you need to cry, when you want to just get it out, relieve some of the pressure from the inside - that is true pain. Because no matter how hard you try or how bad you want to, you can't. That pain just stays in place. Then, if you are lucky, one small tear may escape from those eyes that water constantly. That one tear, that tiny, salty, droplet of moisture is a means of escape. Although it's just a small tear, it is the heaviest thing in the world. And it doesn't do a damn thing to fix anything.

I don't want to cry, that is the only thing which I hated most but I can't control them.

The worst type of crying wasn't the kind everyone could see, the wailing on street corners, the tearing at clothes. No, the worst kind happened when your soul wept and no matter what you did, there was no way to comfort it. A section withered and became a scar on the part of your soul that survived. For people like me and Echo, our souls contained more scar tissue than life.

I wiped my tears and got up, life wasn't easy for me or it's better if I say that I wasn't easy on me.

I turned around but I didn't find Hercules anywhere. I run towards my room and closed myself inside the restroom. I on the shower and let the water drench me, I sit on the cold tile floor and hugged my knees tightly.

I don't remember how long I sit under the shower, but I remember closing my eyes.

The next time when I opened my eyes, I was lying on my cozy bed, I got up with a moan and look at my clothes.  I am wearing my long knee-length bodycon t-shirt.

"Who the f**k changed my clothes when no one at the mansion, " that question starts ringing in my head but suddenly I felt a hand on my body, and my whole body stiff and loads of bad thoughts start occurring in my mind.

Very slowly I turned my gaze and my gaze fell on Hercules who is lying almost naked on my bed beside me. His arm is wrapped around my waist like I am his real property.

I wanted to scream so loudly, I wanted to wake him up and give him the piece of my mind but haven't done anything.

Instead of creating a scene I removed his hand from my body and walked out of my room with my blanket.

There is too much darkness around me, no I can't sleep in darkness, I guess I should go back to my room.

I walked back into my room and spread my blanket on the floor, then I wrapped my body in it and sleep on the floor.

My mind starts thinking about Vikram, the way he treated me.....

The way he loved me........

The way he made me feel......

I don't know from how long he was in love with me and the way he trusted me.

I was blink and broken because of Aryan.

Aryan............ This name still reminded me of the worst mistake of my life.

Yes, I understand why things had to happen this way. I understand his reason for causing me pain. I understand that Aryan loves someone else, But mere understanding does not chase away the hurt. It does not call upon the sun when dark clouds have loomed over me. Let the rain come then if it must come. And let it wash away the dust that hurt my eyes.

I am not crying because of Aryan because that bastard is not worth it for my tears. I am crying because of my stupidity. A broken heart bleeds tears and that's what is happening with me. I am broken because I broke the heart of Vikram who loved me without any expectations........
