CHAPTER : 1 Friday, 13th February, 2015
'You are a murderer!' she screamed.
She loathed him to such an extent at that moment that she would even kill him. Her eyes showed nothing but sheer hatred for him.
'Stop shouting at me! It is not my fault. He had to repay for his sins someday. How can he lay his dirty hands on my fiance and get away unharmed?' yelled Sameer.
'That doesn't give you right to kill anybody. And he did not force me. We both loved each other.' said Riya
'Shut your filthy mouth! I will not tolerate his name being taken in my house. And understand one thing.
Arjun is dead. His ashes rot beneath the earth. He is never coming back. Its better you stop thinking about that bas***d and move on!' said Sameer and left the house slamming the door behind him.
Her eyes welled up with tears. She missed him beyond imagination. She missed the feel of his arms around her. She ran to her bedroom and sat on her bed. Her mind was travelling down the memory lane.
It was almost a year ago when she had met him. They had fallen in love and decided to get married. But destiny had some other plans. He was killed in a gruesome car accident. Three months ago she had got married to Sameer against her will. But that hadn't been a problem till now because immediately the next day after their marriage, Sameer had gone to UK for business purpose. He had returned just a week ago.
Till this day she was thinking it was an accident. But today she knew the truth. Sameer had murdered him. Never in her wildest dreams had she thought that Sameer would be behind all this.
The accident had seemed somewhat fishy at that time but the pain of losing her love was so much that her brain refused to look at anything else. She punched her bed in frustration. The dam of tears in heart broke suddenly and she curled up on her bed crying. She knew Sameer would not return till dawn.
'Why did you leave me? You are so selfish Arjun! I want to hate you but I can't! Just can't hate you! Who gave you the right to leave me all alone in this evil world? Here everyone wears a mask hiding his sins from others. You had promised me Arjun that you would be with me even after death. You had said that our love was so pure and strong that even death won't do us apart.' she thought in despair.
'Come back to me. Where are you? Were all those promises just false? Show yourself!' she shouted into her silent room.
There was complete silence for a few minutes. Riya stared around the room hoping something would happen. But nothing was happening.
'Just give me some sign that you are around. Let me know you are there for me forever. Just once. I won't demand anything else from you ever Arjun please.' she said aloud her lips trembling slightly.
A moment of silence and suddenly her window curtain fluttered. Riya looked around. A light breeze was blowing. But the force with which the curtain had flown appeared a bit odd to her.
She crept down slightly from her bed and stood staring at the window. She took a few steps ahead. A ghostly white mist seemed to have settled into her room. She couldn't see properly. The candles burning in the corner didn't help much in providing the illumination.
Something at the back of her mind kept telling her not to switch on the lights. Excitement flooded through her veins. The window was on the far end on the opposite side of her bedroom. She moved forward noiselessly.
She stopped mid-way. Her hands were trembling. She didn't know why but she felt scared. She couldn't go a step further.
'Arjun?' she called out sheepishly. No reply. The curtain was still fluttering slightly with the wind. She strained her eyes to see in the darkness. She saw something partially hidden by the curtain... Was it a shadow or an apparition? She couldn't tell exactly. She had to go and see. She regained her composure and went ahead.
She had now almost reached the window. She stretched out her hand and lifted the curtain slowly. Suddenly something jumped on her chest. 'Aaarrrggg!' Riya screamed and landed with a thud on her back on the floor.
'Meowww!' the animal let out an ear splitting cry. Shreya witnessed two pairs of yellow eyes and a lot of fur. It was none other than Tabby her pet cat.
'You mad cat! You nearly gave me a heart attack!' Riya yelled looking at him. Her heart was still thudding wildly.
Tabby fixed his yellow eyes on her and settled on her tummy. She relaxed and smiled finally. She sat up and took him in her hands moving her fingers into his soft fur. The cat started purring.
Riya suddenly remembered why she was here for. She looked at the window. There was nothing there. She shook off her head sadly. He was never coming back. There was no shadow. It was just her imagination. She set Tabby down and walked to back her bed. Sleep was far away she knew. She settled on the bed staring towards the ceiling. She didn't know how long she stood like that.
She jumped suddenly. She had definitely heard something. She wrinkled her nose and then inhaled deeply. Yes that was a smell of an aftershave... Wait! How could she forget? Arjun always wore that aftershave! What the hell was happening?
She got Goosebumps as the bed creaked softly. She felt a paranormal presence beside her. Her eyes widened in fear. She tried to get up but something held her in place. She screamed. An invisible force had bound her to bed. She kicked her legs wildly, screaming. The smell of aftershave was all around her. Even though it was cold, beads of sweat appeared on her face.
And then it happened - She felt something warm on her lips... A gentle touch... She stopped moving... Yes! She could feel his lips. Now she felt something moving inside her bed cover. A minute later she felt his body above hers. She felt his warm kisses over her cheek. Her heart was racing. She was breathless. She felt him nibbling at her neck, biting softly.
She stayed still with her eyes shut tightly. And then it was light again. She was able to move.
'No! Don't go!' she said in a squeaky voice. But whatever it was, it had disappeared.
She sat up on her bed shocked. Was he really here? What was going on?
After a few minutes, she thought she was going crazy. Her mind was too obsessed with Arjun's thoughts today. What she had experienced right now was laughable. Her friends would mock her. She started questioning her own sanity.
'No! If I keep on thinking, I will go mad. This isn't good. I have to get back to Sameer for what he has done...I will not rest till I put him behind bars.' she thought.
She drank a glassful of water and slept on the bed. Something was irritating her. She scratched her softly and finally closed her eyes. As the moon came out from behind the clouds, moonlight flooded on her face.
A love bite mark was clearly visible on her neck... !
That's the end of first chapter!
