His Obsession

Chapter 7 : kidn*pped

The next morning Mishti wakes up with a pounding headache, she groans as she massages her temples. She looks around the unfamiliar surrounding and starts to panic until a familiar minty scent hits her nose, her hazel eyes find their way to a pair of cold steel grey eyes. Shivaan moves closer to Mishti and gently moves a strand of hair away from her face. “Babygal I’ve waited for you long enough. After today, you will finally belong to me.” Mishti pushes Shivaan away, “Shivaan what do you mean by belong to you? I’m not an object to own, I don’t belong to anyone.” Shivaan loses his temper, he pins Mishti to the bed. “Babygal you are mine, now I will show you who you belong to.” Shivaan captures Mishti’s soft petal like lips, stealing her first kiss. He continues to kiss her passionately leaving her breathless. Shivaan moves towards Mishti’s neck but feels himself being pulled off her. “Bro stop, what are you doing?” Shivaan looks at Alok then to a trembling Mishti. He looks at her swollen lips and punches the wall when he realizes the great sin he was about to commit. Shivaan leaves the room slamming the door behind him. Alok rushes to Mishti’s side, she sobs in his arms. “Alok, I …. I…don’t…kno…. know what’s go…. gotten into Shiv…. Shiv…. Shivaan.” Alok gently caresses Mishti’s hair, “I’m so sorry for the way brother acted towards you, he is very short tempered but trust me he really cares about you.” Shivaan returns with a white envelope in his hand, he gives the envelope to Mishti. She opens the envelope with shaky hands, her eyes widen when she realizes that it is actually a marriage contract that Shivaan has presented to her. She flings the contract at him angrily. “I WILL NEVER MARRY A MONSTER LIKE YOU, MR SHIVAAN KAPUR THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOU AND AKSHAY.” Shivaan grabs a fistful of Mishti ’s hair and whispers in her ear, “Babygal you have no idea the lengths I can go to for you to be mine. Think about aunt Divi and Drishti, you wouldn’t want anything to happen to your precious Drishti.” Alok pulls Shivaan away. “Bro stop, enough of this madness, Mishti has faced enough pain from that B#*t#*d Akshay, now you are doing the same.” Shivaan looks at his brother but remains silent. Mishti picks up the pen with trembling fingers, signs the marriage contract and hands it to Shivaan. Alok puts his arm around Mishti’s trembling shoulders, “Come on sis, let’s get you home before your tigress sister kills me.” Mishti almost smiles thinking about poor Alok facing her sister’s wrath.

Alok nervously rings the doorbell of the Patel’s residence, Divi answers the door, she immediately pulls Mishti into her arms. “Mere pyare beti (my darling daughter) I’m so sorry, I had no idea that Akshay was such a rascal.” Divi becomes emotional and breaks down as she holds her daughter. Drishti rushes to her mother’s side, her eyes widen when she sees Alok entering their house. She shoves him against the wall. “You b#*t#*d what have you done to my Di.” Mishti pulls Drishti away, “Choti relax, if it wasn’t for Alok I would have been dead.” Drishti reluctantly lets go of Alok. “You see my tigress, I’m the hero here. Mishti almost got run over but I pulled her to safety then she blacked out, so I took her home to rest.” “Really, you are no hero, you are Mr Dumbass. Why didn’t you inform me or mama that my Di was safe? asked Drishti in a grimacing tone. Mishti quickly replied, “Choti, I Blacked out and when I woke up it was already late. I also needed some space from this atmosphere.” Divi hugs Alok, “Thank you Bete (son) for keeping my sweet daughter safe.” Alok smiles and puffs up his chest with pride as he looks at Drishti who walks away thoroughly annoyed. Alok hugs Mishti before leaving the Patel residence.

Mishti lies in bed as tears trickle down her rosy cheeks. She can’t believe that Shivaan could be so cold-hearted. She places her fingers on her soft lips that were still swollen from Shivaan’s forceful, passionate kiss. “God please save me, how am I going to live with this big Brute,” Mishti mutters to herself. She thought he was her saviour but he turned out to be her destruction. “Why doesn’t anyone ask me what I want, am I a toy that can be played with and broken so easily,” cries Mishti. She tries to sleep but the moment Mishti closes her eyes she sees Shivaan’s cold steel grey eyes staring at her.

Shivaan enters his bedroom, he looks at his bed and has flashbacks of the moments he shared with Mishti. He runs his fingers through his hair, “F#*k, she is going to be the death of me.” “No bro you are going to be the death of her. You will never win her heart if you keep losing your temper” says Alok. Shivaan looked at Alok and replied, “My babygal has become my obsession, she’s the air that I breath, my every heartbeat. I will destroy anyone who tries to separate me from my babygal.” Alok sighs, he steps forward and places a hand on Shivaan’s shoulder, “Bro, I hope your obsession with Mishti doesn’t destroy you. My dear brother you have to control your temper around Mishti, remember she has already been tormented by that B#*t#*d. if you keep forcing her, she will think that are no different from him.” Shivaan growls, “SHE HAS AWOKEN THE BEAST IN ME NOW SHE WILL HAVE TO TAME HIM. I WILL MAKE HER SUBMIT TO ME.” Alok shudders as he leaves his brother’s bedroom, he is afraid for Mishti and prays that Shivaan’s obsession does not break Mishti’s fragile heart. Shivaan on the other hand lies in bed staring at Mishti’s photo, “Oh babygal, soon I will have you moaning my name from those sweet lips.”
