Devangi's POV :
After yesterday's lunch which Bonna feed me from his hands forcefully, he didn't return. He took me to one of his rooms while carrying me by his arm and lay me on the bed, he didn't look back and walked out of the room.
Dinner was brought by one of his men who didn't spare me a glance like if he did he will lose his head from his body. Well, that's too much to think but still, he looked terrified while stepping into the room.
I looked at the necklace, I have been holding while thinking about the one who gifted me. Surya. That day is still imprinted in my memory like it was yesterday.
Flashback to 3 years back:
"Come on! say it back," Surya said while holding my hands softly.
I took a deep breath, acting as if I am nervous, "Noo"
I blurted out and ran from there.
I heard his footsteps, I can't stop giggling while imaging his shocked face. It took him a few seconds to realize what happen.
"Devaaaa, don't run like this you will get hurt," my fast steps slowed down instantly as my smile vanished. I turned around to see him running towards me, "Got you Devangi" he said embracing me in his arms, keeping me safe inside.
"Sorry if I got you worried," I said getting inside his embrace even more.
I don't know what I ever did to deserve a person like him. Actually, I never deserve him, I am not even that pure for him. Still, he loves me and cares for me. I am so lucky.
"I don't want to hear this," He said while patting my head softly.
I broke the hug and turned around to go when he back hugged me.
"say it," he said in a soft tone while placing his chin on my shoulder
"no"
he kissed my cheek, making me blush inside his arm "Now say"
I shook my head, getting another kiss on my other cheek
"I love you, Devuuu" I can feel his hurt voice
Maybe I hurt him.
I hold his hands which are losing their grip around me and wrapped them more tightly.
"I love you more and more and more" I whispered
He hummed before freeing me from his grip. I bowed my head. Did I hurt him that much, I was just messing around. And that was when I felt cold metal on my neck.
My fingers instantly went towards it, as I hold a beautiful silver heart-shaped pendent in my fingers.
Surya back hugged me, while making me hold the pendant with my both hand. He leads my finger to the back of the pendant as his breaths are hitting my cheek.
"Press it, sweetheart," he said in such a sweet voice, that my heart melt instantly.
I pressed the button which is beneath my fingers at the back of the pendant. Surya opened the heart as it contains mine and his photo on each side of the heart.
"Did you like it?"
"I love it," I said as I mean every single word. Such a small but precious gift, which tells everything he can't express in words.
"My father gave this to mom after marriage. It's a sign that she will be in his heart forever " he pecked my cheek "but I can't wait till our marriage. You were, you are, and you will be inside my heart. Forever no matter what."
Flashback ends.
Tear brimmed in my eyes as I missed his warmth. I don't know how is he? Did he eat anything after knowing about me? Is he finding me? I wish I can see him as soon as possible.
The click sound of the lock brought me out of my thought as I hide the pendant inside. Yes, I am still wearing my birthday dress, my life turned upside down the moment I touched it. I do take a shower but there was nothing to wear, nor I am willing to take anything which is owned by him. the great KIM BON HWA.
My eyes traveled down as I looked at my pure white wedding dress all dirty and teared up from the bottom as it was stuck on the corner of the bed before. I sigh. I don't know when all this will end.
I looked up as I felt someone coming toward me. The moment my eyes met those dark orbs my breath hitched. I scooted back, sticking my back to the bedpost. Hoping he won't cover that distance. I wasn't expecting him. I thought its another guard with the meal. Tear unknowingly fell from my eyes, as I saw him taking a dangerous step toward me.
"Don't come near me.." I stated.
"Oh, my baby is scared of me? he cut me while sitting beside me. He wiped my tears but gripped my chin because of the lack of response. I nodded slowly as he losen his grip and start caressing one of my cheeks with his thumb.
"you should be." I shiver from his calm voice. I know something is coming for me.
"bon.." he put a finger on my lips
"shh baby I brought a gift for you," he said as he put his hand inside the pocket of the coat.
For the first time, I noticed he was wearing a suit. Why is he wearing a suit? I saw him in hoodies and yesterday in a T-shirt and jeans but never in a suit before, his all innocence is vanished now. He isn't the person I used to know before. Soon he places a card bordered with a golden border in front of my eyes.
Tears continuously stained my cheeks as I know what it is it was a dream I saw so many times. The dream turned into the worst nightmare.
"Open it, baby," he placed the card on my lap.
I picked it up with my shivering hands hoping it isn't the thing I am assuming. May it be a mere coincidence. But deep inside I know the truth. I just need to accept it.
The moment I read the thing inside the card my eyes filled with tears. The moment which I and Surya created with so much love, so much hope, so many dreams everything was the same. Just as I wanted except for one thing. The most important one, the groom's name.
Tears fell on my cheeks when I saw Bon Hwa's name in the place of Surya. He can't be serious. I am not going to marry him at any cost.
"Did you like it !"
I looked at him with pleading eyes while he smirked and tugged a hair string on the back of my ear and leaning forward he whispered "don't cry, it's just the starting"
He pecked my cheek before leaning back. Things are getting worse than I have ever thought. I have never really thought in my life that my life can give a turn like this. I wouldn't have messed with him in the first place. I should have explained to him but what can I do now! Still, there is time. How much time will take to persuade someone an hour or two! I can do it. I should do it. At least for the sake of the love of my life. I can't just give up on someone because of whom I am still alive.
