Chapter 40: Chapter 40

*Satvi Pov*

“What are you thinking so much about?” I asked him teasingly while he just shook his head continuing to read the paper.

“Someone of us must be cautious, right? Why did you go to the office, yesterday?” he asked angrily.

“I... Went to see, Leela. I just wanted to know about her health as she needs to take care of herself.” I replied frowning.

“So? Do you want to die again?” He asked not reducing his voice at all.

“You are talking like I want all this to happen to me. She is six months pregnant, and I fear for her as that stupid murderer can attack anyone I know.” I replied stepping back with fisted hands.

“And I went with all the security like you want me to. If you think all these things happening to us are because of me, then just let me know.” I added staring at him.

“What will you do if I say that?” he asked raising his eyebrow.

“I may just help the stalker with the work.” I replied, shrugging and started walking towards our room.

“Look, I am just tired of all this. We didn’t get the truck driver and there is still the threat.” He said, and I stopped in my tracks.

“I really love you, Rohan. But if you don’t stop blaming me for that accident, then it will be harder for me because I am already doing the blaming thing on myself.” I said walking away.

After that he didn’t talk to me, but just went to his work. But after some time, I heard the doorbell making me frown.

I brushed my tears away and covered my face before walking towards the door. I glanced through the window and saw that it is his mother.

I immediately rushed into our room and called him from the mobile he gave me. I waited for few rings and sighed in relief when he lifted it up.

“What is it, Satvi?” He asked in a distant tone.

Satvi? I shook my head and replied “Your mother is here. Shall I open the door?”

“Yeah! You can handle her, right? So why did you call me?” He asked making me want to cry again.

“Ok!” I mumbled hanging up.

I took a deep breath and opened the door, but with my whole face covering as I decided to keep his plan even for his family even though he didn’t say specifically.

“He is not here!” I said, looking at her.

“Are you cleaning the house?” She asked, raising her eyebrow.

“Yes!” I replied, folding my arms.

“Well, maybe you should join in cleaning company.” She said, shaking her head and walked inside the house, pushing me away making me look at her in shock.

“What do you want?” I asked her sitting on the other chair opposite to her.

“Swetha! I know I went over the top the last time, but he shouldn’t doubt us right. So I did that, but why did you act different.” She asked making me want to clear my ears to get her words right.

“Excuse me?” I asked her frowning.

“Is he still beating you up? His father was also like that, but what can we woman do right. But don’t worry, I will get you out of all this like you asked me to.” She replied, smiling and I decided that she had gotten mad.

When I continued to stare at her, she got up and started moving toward the door, but stopped a little and turned around smiling a little.

“I am trying for the police complaint, but his friend Shankar is very influential. I hope his friend is behaving ok with you now though.” That’s all she said, and just walked outside like she came in.

I stood up like a robot and closed the door typing the password which is actually ‘SWETHA’ making me still want to laugh at myself. And then walked back throwing myself on the couch to actually think about what she said.

I think she too got into an accident like me and is dreaming about new things. Well, when my case can happen then this is possible, mostly.

To make matters worse in the afternoon, I got a parcel being pushed inside the house and the guards caught him before he could run away, but he turned out to be normal working boy.

I opened up the parcel to see lots of papers, which actually made me laugh. They are letters written about how Rohan is torturing her, and the more surprising thing is they are written by ‘The Swetha’.

What are these people thinking about me? What will they get by doing all these things telling some fake stories about how Rohan tortures his Swetha, who is totally me?

Then it freakingly clicked! They didn’t know that either I got my memory, or they just think I am some other girl. But from his Mother’s words, I can see that it is the first option.

Oh my god! She is with this whole threatening thing. Nonetheless, is she alone in this or there is someone else? Maybe her son is also a part of it.

Now if I tell Rohan everything, and he immediately starts his questions at her, then we may never know, and we don’t even have any proof and to top of that they will know that I got my memory.

He is clever to decide not to tell them anything and even to hide this to most of the people. But what if Shankar is one of them, and I immediately shook my head.

If he was, then she wouldn’t have said anything bad about him right? I took a deep breath and hid all of them before he comes home.

He returned home pretty late, and I didn’t question him about anything, but just calmly served the dinner while he kept on glancing at me for every few minutes.

“So, how was your day?” He calmly asked.

“Good!” I replied not looking at his face and just finished my dinner.

“I know I am taking my anger on you, but understand me here.” He said, and I glanced up to look at him.

“You were actually not acting right when you used to get angry at me or behave harshly with me?” I asked him, but I know I stated it.

“No! I was taking the anger, I felt about everything at you. I know that was wrong, but what can I do I didn’t see Swetha in you. I could only see some new girl whom I don’t even know.” He replied staring into my eyes.

“Do you know why I did everything you ask for and never objected to anything at all?” I asked him, and he shook his head.

“Because I just thought I am lucky to have some guy like you in my life, so I shouldn’t hurt you or make you feel bad by doing anything.” I replied honestly.

“And, I never took anger on you like I do with everyone else because I didn’t want to make you sad as you need someone to protect you.” He mumbled frowning along with me.

“Does what we have is real love?” I asked him, but I am actually asking myself.

Even after lying on the bed, we didn’t utter another word, but just had a restless sleep before doing our own things the next day.

“Did she give you a hard time?” he suddenly asked while leaving the house.

“Like you said I could handle.” I replied, shrugging and he just gave me a guilty stare, but I smiled shaking my head.

“Have a nice day.” I mumbled, closing the door.

You can do this! I mumbled to myself before walking inside the police station from the main entrance after I saw that Shankar left the station.

I glanced at all the people inside the station and saw a guy sitting there like it is the biggest punishment to be there. I smiled to myself before walking towards him.

“Excuse me?” I asked getting his attention.

“Are these letters enough to file a complaint?” I asked him showing the letters I got in the parcel two days back.

“Yeah! Shall I file a complaint?” He asked reading them.

“What will happen after you file them?” I asked him frowning.

“We will give them to our SI.” He replied nodding at me.

“So without getting him known, nothing can happen here?” I asked him stressing a little, and he just shook his head giving back the letters.

I sighed, walking outside the station and took the bus, which I chose for coming here in the first place. After reaching home, I stared at them again when I heard the door bell ringing.

I opened it to see Rohan standing there with a pissed look while I gave him a confused one. I locked the door and started walking towards the couch where he is already sitting.

“What?” I asked, sitting beside him, and he immediately crashed his lips on mine pushing me on the couch.

“Do you know how hard it was to act like everything was fine in the office when you were out there without any security?” He asked releasing me.

“I am sure you must have kept them on watch though.” I replied, and he nodded smiling at me.

“At least the plan went fine, but we can’t be sure that there will be results though.” He mumbled.

“My plan will definitely work. Trust me!” I said remembering how hard it was to make him accept for this plan after I showed him the letters yesterday night.

He even got shocked when I told him about his Mother and got a little pissed at me for not telling him immediately, but all I was doing was just waiting for another parcel which I didn’t get.

“Did you tell Shankar not to tell anyone about this?” I asked him frowning.

“Yeah! But are you sure that there were people following you because this all may go waste.” He replied frowning.

“No! I got that feeling in the station, Rohan. Like someone is watching me kind of feeling.” I said, and he nodded smiling.

“Are you not angry with me anymore?” He asked trailing his fingers over my cheeks and lips.

“How can I? You were just stressed about me and, for me.” I replied brushing his hair.

“Who are you mostly?” He suddenly asked frowning.

“What do you mean?” I asked him frowning.

“Are you Swetha or Satvi? Like the personality of your’s.” He explained.

“I am more of Satvi.” I mumbled hiding my face in the crook of his neck not wanting to see his disappointment for not getting his Swetha completely.

“What if all this didn’t work?” He asked rubbing my back.

“I guess I will have a trip to your Mother’s house and tell her about my sob story how you are taking revenge like I did with my family.” I replied, and he chuckled hugging me back.

“I missed you so much.” He mumbled.

“I missed you only a little.” I mumbled chuckling.

“So am I.” he mumbled, making me frown, but I brushed it off.

“I can’t believe that you are in danger because of me.” He added and I immediately moved back to look at his face.

“Don’t say that! You didn’t know all this.” I said, shaking my head.

“And you went through so much already while you lost me or her or whatever. So don’t think like this at all and that was why I didn’t tell you about your Mother. Ok! That is just part of the reason.” I added and he just smiled before laying on me completely, and we drifted off into sleep for a small afternoon nap.
