LOVE BEYOND BORDERS

Moving to his villa

Ammu : "" "" "

Panicked and looked at Fuzhi through the corner of her eyes.

Fuzhi stood up and called out "second brother,she didn't mean it. "

Lin : Shut up... and leave.

Fuzhi looked at Ammu with pathetic gaze,his eyes told her to behave and he hope she did understood and would obey him atleast this time.He left when he got another breathtaking stare from Lin.

Ammu got scared being alone with Lin,his eyes were so sharp that it seems like was about to pull her soul out.She was trembling inside ,she could hear her heart drumming at her chest.However she returned the cold look to Lin ot that's what she believed.

Lin : Simi.. you have 20 minutes to pack your things and leave this place with me , otherwise I will set down the whole apartment in fire. Understand 20 minutes.... He said waving his index finger over her face, as a stringent warning and exited her apartment with heavy footsteps.

Ammu remained in the sofa and covered her mouth with the shawl. This is her usual posture when she is worried. she looked out through window and saw Lin smoking the cigarette leaning onto the car .

He looked up at the window and she stared back at him for few seconds. Lin looked at his watch and fixed his gaze on her , purposely, reminding Ammu that she isn't left with much time to pack her things.

She angrily moved the curtain and started packing her things with tears running down her cheeks. In between she didn't forget to scold and curse Lin. Exactly after 20 minutes she heard footsteps coming closer she worriedly looked to the door ,to her relief it was Yong.

Yong : Madam Simi, have you doen with packing.

Ammu nodded with a pathetic look.

Yong took the luggage and asked her to follow.

Ammu : Mr. Yong.. Why is he doing this to me.

Yong :Madam please obey, come fast now.

Ammu sat there in the sofa covering her face in her palms.Yong went down with the luggage pitying Ammu...

Ammu received a call from Lin, she answered with a tone showing her irritation "Whatt?"

Lin : do you want me to burn your things..

Ammu without risking her belongings exited her apartment and descended the stairs running.

Lin saw her coming and got inside the car. Yong know she won't get in unless asked to,so he opened the door for her. Meanwhile Fuzhi was watching all this in his car parked in a safe distant place.

They reached the villa at 7:00 pm. Aunt Xun was in the kitchen. She came out and took Ammu to her room. Ammu sat on the bed and try to cope up herself with the situation. She later started arranging her dress into the wardrobe. After arranging she laid in the bed.

She was startled from the knock on the door and she jumped up from bed.To her fortune It was Aunt Xun who came to call her for dinner. Ammu went down and had the delicious vegetable fried rice made specially for her. Lin was not there to have dinner. So she peacefully had the dinner and went to her room. She called her grandparents and told them that she had moved to a new apartment as per company requirements.

Grandpa : Ammu , are you coming to celebrate Onam(national festival of Kerala celebrated for 10 days) next month"

Ammu : Let me see grandpa, if the company permits leave l will surely come.

Wherever she had been, during onam she made sure to be at home. As it's during this festival all her relatives join together and it is so much fun and enjoyment. She didn't want to miss it this time too. Her childhood were in North India as her father worked in a hospital there.But during onam every year they will come to their native place to celebrate it. This has been like a custom to her and she follows it even after she had to go alone when her cousins comes along with their parents.

Ammu took a bath and went to bed to sleep. She got some sleep after lying in the bed for hours.

At 5:00 am she got up and went down. Aunt Xun was surprised to see her awake so early.

Ammu : Good morning

Aunt Xun smiled and said good morning. "Do you want something,madam"

Ammu : I need a coffee, shall I make;it myself.

Aunt Xun : Okay,please.

Ammu made black coffee and went upstairs to her room.

At 7:00 am she came down after taking bath, by this time Aunt Xun had done with her kitchen work. Ammu helped her to arrange the dishes in the dining table. In the kitchen also there is a small dining table and Ammu sat their and chatted with Aunt Xun.

Aunt Xun liked Ammu's humble nature and felt affectionate but she exactly didn't know who Ammu was. Lin didn't mentioned about their marriage to her.

At 8 am Lin came down for breakfast and he asked Xun where Ammu is. Xun told she is in the kitchen. He said Aunt Xun to call her for breakfast. Ammu came and sat beside Lin and had her breakfast and...

Ammu : Lin...

Lin :"" "" with grim face.

Ammu : Lin....

Lin : I have told you not to talk while having food.

Ammu ignoring his warning, "can you just drop me to the metro station, I need to go to office.

Lin : """

Ammu angrily shouted... Lin... Are you listening.

Lin angrily throwed the plate along with the food to the ground and stared at Ammu.

Ammu gave him a sharp look and said gulping the food "how mean are you to waste food. Who made you CEO of a company who even don't know how to respect the food we eat. Don't you know food is God.

Lin : oh.. So you Indians eat God.

Ammu(rolling her eyes) : In our culture we believe food as God, Food is what nourishes the body beautiful, which is the gateway to the infinite, eternal truth, it is in this sense we say so, understood you Chinese je....

Before she could call him " jerk" Lin angrily held Ammu's wrist and pulled her towards him.He spoke on her face with utter arrogance "shut your bloody phylosophy, and never ever talk while having food..understood you scumbag..."

Ammu : "" ""

Ammu got up as she had done with breakfast and Aunt Xun cleaned all the mess. Aunt advised Ammu not to provoke second master and said he doesn't like making noises and never speak while having food. It is because of this reason he never goes to have food in Wang family, as they all talk while having food.

Ammu said OK aunty I will take care in future.

Ammu saw Lin going out so she ran on heels making the clicking sound of her heels and calling aloud behind his back. Aunt Xun patted her forehead as she just now reminded Ammu that he doesn't like too much noises and the very next moment she is shouting and running behind him.

Ammu: Lin.. Lin.. Wait Iam also coming..

She ran and got into the car along with Lin. He gave her a cold lookbwhich of course she didn't bother.Ammu patted her chest as she was breathing heavily from running and leaned back to the seat.

They reached his office compound and Lin got down and went inside his office. Ammu sat there looking at his back and peeped to the driver's seat. The driver sat their looking into his phone ignoring her. She understood that he will not drop her to the office so she got down and called Fuzhi. He came within 10 minutes and dropped her to the office and showed her the way and also arranged a cab for her to go to and from office.

Ammu thought to herself... "that stupid told me he is going to love me, my goodness is this what he meant by love. I think when it comes to s*x Iam at kindergarten level, when it is of love he is not even born"

Ammu reached her office and went straight to the HR dept. to ask for next month's leave. They said that since she is on contract it's not possible. She asked at least for 4 days as Onam main festival is for 4 days. They said they will check with Senior manager and confirm. She hopefully went to her seat.

In the evening Ammu reached home at 5:30,pm as she had to travel nearly one hour. When she went to take bath Lin called her.As she failed to answer his many calls, he called Aunt xun and confirmed whether she had returned back home.

Lin came home and went to Ammu's room to check on her. He found her sleeping and checked her phone. He found his miscalls are still there on the screen as she had not yet checked.

She was wearing a loose salwar kameez and shawl and a matching niqaab. He dialled her number again and Ammu woke up from call vibration and she checked the phone. When she saw Lin's name ,she just ignored it moving the phone away and turned to the other side and laid there closing her eyes . Lin got angry and pulled her ankle and within one strong pull she was thrown to the end of the bed.

Ammu panicked and shouted.... Aah.. Amma(mother).... Lin..... Are you out of your mind.

Lin : How dare you not answer my call.

Ammu understood he might have seen what she did, So she didn't reply and stared at him thinking what to say.

Lin Coldly stared at Ammu

To break the silence Ammu said in a low voice, "why did you call me Lin. "

Lin : Get ready and come down.

Ammu : "" ",

Lin went out giving her the order .Ammu rolled her eyes and got ready.She wore a peach color chanderi silk churidaar which has blue color printed design and pattern. Used a blue niqaab. Matching high heel sandal.

She went down and stood their, Yong came out and opened the door for her They went to the same restaurant to have food.

Ammu, as usual talks while eating.

Ammu : Lin do you like this restaurant very much

Lin raised his head from phone and frowned.

Ammu : What... didn't you hear me.

Lin : yes I like it. Can you now just shut up for some time.

Their regular waiter came with lots of food which Ammu never had in her life.

She was told that all that are given to her were veg so she had them without hesitation. She felt Few food tasty so she was picky while eating.

Ammu kept on asking the name of each dish while tasting it,Lin gave her the menu card to check herself showing a fed up expression.

Ammu : Lin did you change your mind....

Lin : on what..

Ammu : you told love is your weapon to kill me, now I think food is your weapon. Are you going to kill me by forcing me to have outside foods daily and spoil my stomach. I think I will suffer from severe stomach problem and may expire soon.

Lin : can't you just keep your mouth shut even for a fraction of second.

Ammu : Lin, if I don't speak I feel like Iam dead....

Lin : "" "

raised his eyebrows and stares at Ammu

Ammu pointing to few dishes on the table and said these tastes weird ,yes I didn't like it so I don't want it.

Lin : those are non-veg.

Ammu : What !

She made a face as if going to cry," Lin don't you know Iam a vegetarian, what did you do. "

Lin : oh.. so naive, Have you not eaten non veg in your entire life.Should I believe that

Ammu : Once my friends compelled and I tried it,but I vomited the entire night. Since then I never had non veg. We are vegetarians and grandma is too strict with that. Hey don't tell my grandparents that I had non veg. They will kill me.

Lin : "" ""

Ammu : Lin... Are you still mad at me.

Lin : yes

Ammu : Then why do you want me to stay with you. Are you not worried about your parents knowing about us.

Lin : You don't have to bother too much,just Shut up and have your food.

Ammu : "" "" "

She looks through the window and sees Fuzhi. She waves her hand at him and calls him by gestures.

Fuzhi enters the lounge and greets his brother and sits besides Ammu. Lin goes to washroom and when returning he saw Ammu feeding a spoon full of ice cream to Fuzhi. Lin frowns and asks "who ordered ice-cream."

Fuzhi : sister in law said she want ice-cream, so I bought .

Lin : Are you a kid, Can't you eat by yourself, should she feed you.

Fuzhi looked at Ammu in embarrassment but Ammu didn't know what they were talking so she thought he needs another spoon and feeds him again. Fuzhi takes in the ice-cream though was petrified out of fear.

Lin : enough come let's go.

Ammu : Fuzhi...

Lin interrupted her and said, he is fond of having ice-cream let him have it full.

Ammu : "" "

When they reached out of the vip lounge Ammu heard somebody singing, she looked up to the stairs to the direction of the song. She held Lin's sleeves and asked "is there any music concert going on. "

Lin : yes, every weekend there is music program.

Ammu : I want to watch it.

Lin "" "

Giving a deaf ear Lin paced out and got into his car.

Ammu stood at the entrance listening to the song and hesitated to enter the car. Car started and waited for Ammu to get in, Lin looked at Ammu coldly. Yong was about to get down but stopped by Lin and he stared at Ammu and said, "if you don't come now, you will be in streets forever."

Ammu hated his domineering nature and angrily got into the car slamming the door ....
