Healing Souls

Apology

Nikshitra's Pov:

I ignored him, and walked away to the kitchen. I don't want to talk to him thinking of how he threatened me with my father's job. He knows I will do anything for my dad, so he made the plan. If he thinks I cannot talk back to him then he is completely wrong. I felt bad when he called me slut and w***e. But I have to give this marriage a chance, As I don't have any choice.

I will do the housework as it is my duty. But he cannot order me like he wants.

"Wait" His loud voice boomed in the mansion, I slightly flinched without turning to him rooted in my position.

"Have you called your dad today?" How does he know I called my dad. There is no one except me in the house. Is he stalking me? Are there any CCTV cameras here? I looked at the surroundings frantically with my widened eyes. I spotted one in the living room. Then I concluded that he is checking my every activity from morning to night. Is there any CCTV in my room?

I forgot to answer and avoided it after coming from my reverie.

"Are you deaf? I asked you, have you called your dad today? Speak it damnit? Yes or No?" He was inches away from me, I don't know when he walked to me this fast. His breathing is ragged, he is angry as I can feel it. I stared towards the floor. Will he slap me again? If I say yes or no I will get scolded. So I will tell the truth only.

"Ye..Yes, I am so..rry. I was missing him So I called him from the landline." I stuttered due to fear of him as I don't know what he will do. With unshed tears I stared at his eyes.

"How dare you call him. From tomorrow onwards you cannot call anybody, not even your dad. Is that clear?" He shouted at the end, I flinched when he held my shoulders tightly with both his hands leaving his marks.

"NO, YOU LISTEN TO ME. I am not your puppet. You cannot control my life however you want. I really did not think you could stalk me. You are so cheap. How can you think I will listen to you after what you have done. I will talk to my dad. I will meet him. What will you do? Huh? Will you fire him from his job? Then fire him, I don't care but I cannot live without talking to my dad. He has no one except me. How do you know? You have no emotions. You are heartless. You don't know what dad and mom means to children. As you don't have one." I shouted and left from there without caring how much my words hurt him. I was very angry as I don't know what came over me, I spoke to him rudely.

I hurriedly ran upstairs towards my room and locked the door. As I was unable to control my tears, it started flowing tremendously. I sat down on the floor hugging my knees, keeping my head in between sobbing continuously. I dozed off while sobbing as I am tired.

When I got up it was already late as I can see the time when I went downstairs after brushing and washing my puffy face due to continuous crying. As I dont have my clothes with me I wanted to ask him but my mind did not accept whether to ask him or not. So when I entered the kitchen it was 9 am. My stomach is grumbling. So I started to prepare breakfast. I was ready to take all the ingredients to make breakfast when someone knocked on the main door.

I opened the door slightly as I am afraid of who is there outside as I know Ayush might have gone to his office early because of yesterday's drama. I remembered he said he wants his breakfast ready till 8:30 am as he will leave for his office at 8:45am.

"Good morning Ma'am. Sir asked to deliver your clothes. Where should I keep it maam?" He politely asked me and I was happy seeing my belongings and opened the door wide, giving the space to enter. He might be 60 years old as he is in driver dress. I remembered when Ayush said he will send the driver to bring my belongings from my house.

"Goodmorning kaka, leave it here I will take it from here." I smiled and answered him politely. Looking at him, I thought of my dad. Sadness appeared on my face. But I changed my expression and asked him about Ayush.

"Kaka, have you seen Ayush going to the office in the morning? I think he did not eat anything. Will you send the breakfast to his office?" I requested him and g

He smiled gently towards me and accepted my request gladly.

"He went to the office early in the morning. I think he is upset because of something. As I have known him from childhood he rarely behaves like this. He never shows his emotions. But today he is not like everyday. I don't know what happened to him" he said and I was feeling very bad after remembering what I said to him yesterday in anger. I know I was angry when I spoke like that. But I know it is my mistake as I don't have any right to say that to anyone like that. I have to apologise. But how will I?

Then I got an idea to prepare his breakfast and send a sorry letter to him.

I hurriedly made 3 Dosa. I prepared the batter yesterday itself. I made chutney and packed the tiffin with a small note written sorry on it. I made the kaka wait but I gave the packed box to him and said thank you.

He blessed me and waved me bye.

I am nervous of what he will think, if he sees the note. Will he accept my apology?

I am nervous of what he will think, if he sees the note. Will he accept my apologies?

With his thoughts in my mind, I prepared my dosa and ate afterwards. Then I took my suitcase to my room and checked whether all my sufficient clothes were there or not. I checked my other suitcase also to see my files and certificates. I wanted to do a job. But I know it will be a dream that will never come true.
