My Husband is a Mafia

Mistake

Ranveer's Point Of View:

I somehow felt guilty for what I was doing within but definitely did not show. I quietly sat on the sofa kept nearby with a silent sigh.

Just then Devika's shrill voice of dismay was heard,

"Leave me! Leave me you dog!", She screamed in agony at Mr. Goenka as I sat silently. Her screams seemed to echo in the whole house as I felt my conscious scream at me - She wanted to be friends with you! You are so inhuman that you bought her here to fulfil you ulterior motive! Are you human?!

I somehow felt extremely unsettled - as if there was a strong and violent tempest inside me, ruining my soul from within. I stood up exhausted and walked upstairs to the room Devika has been taken. I slowly walked up and knocked at the door. My breath becoming rapid as my heart drummed in my chest.

"Who the hell?!", Mr. Goenka shot back and opened the door to find me standing. I noticed Devika stand somewhere near the shut window behind him. Her expression blank and her situation pitiful.

"Enough! Now let her go!", I said as Mr. Goenka looked at me sharply and was about to shut the door. I did not allow him to and pushed him aside and walked in. Devika looked at me with tears in her eyes. I felt all my power drain away from me. She was nearly stripped off her clothes. Her beautiful hair stood vaguely opened and her lipstick completely mashed all over her face. Her hand looked bruised.

She just looked at me - her expression was blank, emotionless. The same expression I had when I had seen my mother dead. There were no tears in her eyes - only a determination stood clear. I opened my suit and gave it to her. She stood motionless - as if she had been killed alive. I slowly put the suit around her half naked body as Mr. Goenka stood shouting at me.

After a while she looked at me. Her eyes did not have hatred - they had the pain of betrayal. She did not want revenge - she wanted to question me. I felt a lump in my throat. After years I felt the sharp pain as I had felt when I had lost my mother. I regretted what I had done after years. I did not know why this unknown girl had made me feel so bad about what I had done.

After a while of staring at her in order to understand her emotions I turned towards Mr. Goenka who looked at me with profound hatred and disgust.

"What is this Ranveer?! You had sold her to me against my ammunitions and now-"

"Now I cancel the deal.", I said in a distinct voice. I held Devika's hand and pulled her out of the scene into our car. Even in the car she remained motionless. Her silence was killing me from within.

Why was I even caring about her?! I did not know.

She slowly walked out of the car into the bungalow which had once belonged to my disgusting father. She walked into our room and just sat by the bed. I slowly walked in feeling guilt take over me. She sat silently in front of me as I said,

"I am sorry.. I did not.. I am sorry.", The word sorry sounded so unfamiliar from my mouth. She just stood up and looked at me. Her eyes showed her pain, her agony, her hatred to all that was happening.

After a while she just turned and said,

"It is my mistake that I felt I could be your friend. I was wrong Mr. Ranveer Pratap Singh. Forgive me."
