Diya PoV:
Shourya is busy with planning surprises for me in Malaysia. I am busy with my thoughts.
He is too good and loving. If it’s not Shourya, anyone else would have forced me to reveal my past and to give him his right on me. But Shouya did none because he loves me, unconditionally. I felt guilty for not telling him my past.
It’s not because I didn’t trust him. I trust him a lot. But, the problem is I am scared of him to share my past. I know he will trust me and never hurts me. But what if he gets hurt because of my past? Can he bear if he knew what all I went through? Will he trust me if I say Rajeev tried to force me and Ranveer helped me?
Shourya lost trust in Ranveer and is hating him because he thinks that Ranveer killed Rajeev. But what if he knows the truth that I killed Rajeev, but Ranveer went to jail just for me? Will he understand me or hates me? He trusts Rajeev a lot. Rajeev created my image as a prostitute.
I can’t even give myself to my Shourya with the fear that he may see a mark of a prostitute’s company name on my body. Will he believes me if I say I am still a virgin and I escaped from there? I can’t bear to see hatred on me in his eyes. I love Shourya, and yes, I am ready to give myself to him, but this mark made me scared, and I am refusing him for a long time.
Ranveer saved me from that prostitute’s company when Rajeev and his friends sold me. The only reason behind all these happenings was that I refused Rajeev’s proposal to marry him. He proposed me saying he loved me, but as I had no feelings towards him, I declined him politely. From the day, I refused him; he started torturing me.
He spoiled my reputation in college and in that city where I studied. He created a scene where everyone thought I am a characterless woman. I never did anything wrong, but still, I became a girl who had no character or any respect.
Shourya is a good husband but will he trusts me if I say I am virgin though Rajeev sold me? What if he refuses to trust me and trusts his friend Rajeev? What should I do if he decides to leave me for killing Rajeev? I love him and cannot go without his love. I respect him and his decisions. If he decides to divorce me after knowing my past, I can’t say anything except to respect him and his judgment.
“Diya, come let’s go,” Shourya said, tapping on my shoulder.
I looked at him with wet eyes.
“Are you ok, Diya? Why are you crying?” He asked me wiping my tears
“Shourya, can you promise me something?” I asked slowly
“What is that you want me to promise?”
“After saying my past, will you accept me as your wife? Whatever maybe my past and how horrible it may be, will you accept me as your love and wife?”
“Diya, whatever may be your past and how horrible it may be, I won’t leave your hand. Even if you decide, not to reveal it to me forever, I won’t mind, and I won’t leave you. I promise you that,” he said as usual in his soft voice.
“No, You are my husband. You have every right to know about me and my past. I must reveal it to you, Shourya. Hiding it from you is not good from my part. I need some courage to say it to you. Soon, I will tell everything to you,” I said.
“Don’t worry dear. Leave all your fears aside and tell me about your past. I promise I won’t be angry with you and will never leave you,” Shourya said, placing a kiss on my forehead.
I hugged him tightly seeing his unconditional love and trust on me. Will his love and trust permanent?
“Is it ok for you to go out now or need rest?”
“I am fine Shourya. Let’s go,” I said.
“At least wash your face baby. Seeing your tears stained face, people may think that I kidnapped you and took you with me forcefully. So you are crying non-stop,” Shourya said.
I glared at his stupid joke. I won’t laugh for dumb jokes.
“Diya, now please stop your crying and angry sessions. Let’s go out. We came here to enjoy, not to waste time,”
I smiled and got ready soon.
Shourya PoV:
I blindfolded her eyes and took her to Rainbow Waterfalls. Diya love to see Rainbow. I untied her blindfold, and she was surprised to see the Rainbow waterfalls.
“Wow Shourya, it’s amazing. I love it. Wow,” she exclaimed, seeing the site.
Her excitement remembered me a child. Diya is so innocent. How can anyone feel about hurting or harming her? She went to jail and a mental hospital. But I didn’t know the reason behind all that. On the internet, it’s given that she was arrested in a prostitution case. But I don’t think that’s true. There might be something else. She was admitted in a mental hospital but is she really gone mad, or someone intentionally joined her there?
Geetha, being an IPS officer and my best friend, saw her in a mental hospital when she went to enquiry the facilities and other things regarding the hospital. Ranveer ordered her to question about that hospital, and there she found Diya and helped her to become normal. Does Ranveer know that Diya is in that hospital, or is it a general inspection? Doubts and questions are killing me. Only Diya can answer my questions, but she is not ready yet to reveal it to me.
I threw off my thoughts, seeing her happiness. I kept my hand on her shoulders and took her close as the crowd increased. She looked at me and smiled, recognizing my possessiveness. But, this time it’s not possessiveness. I want to protect her because this is a new country and she doesn’t know anyone here. I should be cautious about her.
We went to an Indian restaurant there as she refused to have Malaysian food. I searched for an Indian restaurant a lot and finally found one restaurant luckily. Slowly I realised Diya’s stubbornness. She is too stubborn and never listens to anyone, especially to me. As I try to fulfil her every wish, she tries to be stubborn in everything.
But, the thing is if I look at her seriously or raise my voice, she will stop her naughtiness and stubbornness. She will become calm at once doing whatever I say. That’s the only way I had to stop her mischief. However, I won’t show the seriousness that quickly because I don’t like to scare her. Only if I think she is careless or crossed the limits, I will look at her seriously, and then immediately she becomes calm and won’t utter even a word unless she gets confirmation that my anger went off.
“Diya, you sit in the family section, and I will just come giving the order. I guess I know what you prefer to eat,” I said, and she smiled.
We had dinner and then we came to car parking. Suddenly a guy grabbed Diya’s arm smiling at her with lust. I punched him and made her free from his hold.
“How dare you to touch my wife?” I said, but Diya stopped me, and her eyes are showing fear.
“Diya, don’t scare, nothing happens to you. I am there for you,” I said to her.
“Let’s leave Shourya please,” she said, and I opened the cab door to sit, but stopped hearing that guy’s words.
“Hey brother, don’t say that she is your wife. If it’s Mumbai in India, you would have lost your reputation. Everyone knows about her, and I know very well about this Diya. She is just a prostitute, and maybe you are her customer. Give me a chance when you have enough of her,” he said, and I punched hard on his mouth, crushing his lips.
His mouth started bleeding, and Diya forced me to get into the cab. We went to the room before the Malaysian police arrive. I sat on the bed and Diya came to me.
“Shou… Shou… R.. Ya,” she said slowly.
“Shut up,” I yelled at her, and she looked at me with tears.
“Stop crying, Diya. Enough now. Whenever I ask you something, you will stop me with your tears. Now stop your tears or I don’t know what I will do,” I said.
She wiped her tears, hearing my shouting.
“Shourya, please listen,” she said, holding my hand.
“Leave my hand Diya,” I said, and she left me.
“Now, I am saying seriously to you. Don’t talk to me unless you reveal your past to me. I am not asking as this is my right to know your past. I am asking because I realised that knowing your past is necessary to protect you and keep you happy. Tomorrow if you didn’t say your past, we will be leaving for India, and there will be no sweetness in our relationship until you reveal it. I am not going to stay in this room with you. I will take another room,” I said to her and left the room, giving her time to think about revealing her past to me.
