The fate of her love

CHAPTER 2

"Jessica?"

I called her when she was cooking. I asked her not to do so but she says that she gets bored sitting home, doing nothing. She is finally behaving like a woman. All her feminine qualities are returning. I love to taste her half cooked, half uncooked food. I love her so much that her food is delicious for me than the 7 stars hotel. But then she tasted her food and apologized for this but I ordered her to cook all my meals for me. I know that she is pregnant (but we never confirmed it but I am sure about it) and all, but hey, you also want delicious food right? Now, she cooks fine, never burning any dish :-). Well, where was I? Oh yes, I called her. Did she answer? I don't know.

"Jessica?"

"Yes?"

"Why did you always wear salwaar kameez and now saree? You look entirely like you are a Hindu."

"Why don't you pray five times to Allah, like other Muslims do and look at me whenever I wear a saree like you have seen the most beautiful girl in the world, when you should be forcing me to wear a hijab, Vikas,"she asked me smirking. I was shocked. How did she know that I am Vikas? I looked at her dumbfounded.

"How do you know?"

"What do you think? I can't even recognise my first love? My love is never weak. You have already seen that in Gaurav's case. I sacrificed myself to save him. But I won't do that in your case."

"Why? You love him more than me, don't you? I will never let this happen. Do you understand? I will make you forget Gaurav," I said, pulling her towards me and kissing her forcefully. She pushed my chest so hard that I fell down.

"No. Because you left me alone when I had no one with me. You didn't convince your guardians to adopt me. I hate you,"she said, crying hysterically.

"When did you know that I am your Vikas?"

"After you raped me. I didn't feel disgusted as I should feel. It felt like I would feel the same with Gaurav, like you purified me with your touch... Although I am sure that I will not feel it that strongly with Gaurav, because I don't love him as deeply as I love you. So, I understood that you are the one whom I belonged to. You are the one I loved more than Gaurav. I knew that you are Vikas. And that night when I touched you first time with my will when you expressed your concern towards me, I knew that you were my Vikas. Now, answer my question. Why did you leave me," she said, screaming at the last part.I cried out of pure joy. My Jessica loves me even after I forced myself on her. I couldn't be more happy. I hugged her tightly. But she pushed me away, her nose had some flour because of her cooking. I almost laughed at that. She is so cute. She kept her hands on her hips, trying to intimidate me. But I being I, only took that hand and replaced it with my hand. I could feel her glare, but I couldn't help but smile like an i***t.

"Tell me."

"Oh yes. Sorry, I forgot. So yeah? What do you want to know?"

"Why couldn't you take me with you?"

"To protect you."

"From whom?"

"From the one who adopted me. He was involved in child trafficking. I heard him when he was talking to his group. When you begged him, I saw lust in his eyes. He would have used you and then left you, or would make you his s*x slave. I couldn't ask the authorities to not let him adopt me, because they never cared for us. And I know that it was useless. So, why try? So, I requested him to leave as soon as possible. Or, I told him that I will throw a tantrum. So, he adopted me and sold me to an agent, who in turn made me work in a firecrackers factory," I could hear her gasp. She sat on the floor, crying. I held her and caressed her hair. I know it's hard for her to know that the one whom she loved had to go through all this.

"But I couldn't forget the girl, to whom I promised to make her my bride, who promised me that she will wear a saree after our marriage, just like I love. I loved you Jessica. Even now, I love you. For you, I escaped. But I had nowhere to go. So, I bought a brush and a shoe polisher with the money I stole from my last master and started polishing shoes on the roads. Soon, Ammi and abbu found me. They were childless. So, they educated me like I was their child and I was introduced to the world as their child. They became close to me, so I finally revealed about you this year. But they became angry when I informed them that I am impregnating you. So, they came here hurriedly from New York. But I had already done my work. So, they remained angry at me and showered all their love on you, but giving nothing to me. I was secretly jealous but I know that you needed it. That day, they had to go to New York. I was sad. But then you touched me willingly first time and I was so happy... I love you so much that it hurts to not have you around. And my crazy mind couldn't help but think about impregnating you so that I could have you all to myself."

"I am so sorry for hating you. I know that you will never leave me. But still you threw a tantrum so that your guardian could take you away. I am sorry,"she said, crying hysterically.

"So, when should we marry?"

"What do you mean? I mean, we are already married, right?"

"No. I never submitted those papers in the court. I wanted to marry you when you would be happy. So, when should we marry? We will also have to introduce my bride to the media now," I said, cupping her face. She blushed furiously and looked down shyly. I chuckled at her reaction. She is so innocent and naive.

"How about after two months,"she asked looking at me shyly.

"Wouldn't that be too late," I asked her. She shook her head.

"No. It won't be late. Moreover, we will stay in different rooms and not meet each other before our marriage. Bye."

"Wait, where are you going? How could I wait that long?"

"It is your punishment for loving your wife before you married her. Moreover, according to Hindu weddings, you are not supposed to meet your to be spouse before your marriage, except in functions. So, bye,"she crossed the door of the kitchen and I knew that she will not listen to my excuses. She is too proud for that. I love her like crazy. I have to wait for her for two more months. What a pain! Sigh... I will endure it for Jessica. We will live alone. We can't see each other. But it will be worth it. You waited for her so much, it won't hurt for two months, right Vikas? I know that I am wrong. I sighed again. I had to do this. I touched the flour which she was going to turn magically into her tasty chapatis and applied it on my face. I know it's gross, but it gave me the feeling of Jessica's hands on my face. I smiled like a stupid. I am really whipped. She has me around her little finger. Chuckle...
