chapter 14
I woke up the next morning, the events of last night still in my mind.
abhay lay next to me still asleep, looking like an angel. How much I loved him. I watched him exactly trying to remember every little bit of his face.
He stirred and opened his eyes.
"Good morning beautiful. Did you sleep well?" he smiled and gave me a little kiss.
"Better than ever before." I giggled and stroke his cheek.
"abhay..." he kissed my hand
"I love you." I said honest and looked deep into his eyes.
He studied my face for a few seconds, then he lay my hand on his heart, it was beating really fast.
"You have no idea how I longed to hear that from you." I smiled and a tear of joy ran down my cheek.
"I love you, piya." he whispered and kissed my tear away.
I dont know why, but I didnt want to let him go, I just wanted to be with him, to be near him, so I hugged him tight.
His hands stroke my back and i felt his warm breath against my cheek.
"You know what happened the last time..." he whispered, I nodded.
"I know..." I kissed him very soft and shy, but he held me tighter and deepened the kiss.
I got lost in his tenderness, just like years ago...
"Good morning!" I smiled brightly at misha as I entered the kitchen.
"Oh, good morning. Did you have a good night?" she asked winking at me which made me blush.
"I think yes." She giggled and I slapped her playfull.
"Shut up..."
"Where is abhay?" she asked now.
"Hes taking a shower and will come downstairs afterwards." I said dreamy.
misha looked lovingly at me and smiled.
"Im so happy for you, piya. You really deserve to be lucky...finally." I hugged her.
"Thank you so much,misha. But without you I would have never made it through all these years."
"Hey, whats up? Oh no! Please, no emotional conversations, ok?" jeh stood grinning in the door, abhay behind him.
"Women are always the same." abhay winked at me.
"Perhaps we should try to go on without them." he added.
"Oh sure, you can try, but whos going to cook for you, tidy up and care for you?" asked misha giggling.
"You are right...thats really a problem..." jeh made a helpless face, but then we burst into laughter.
"Dad, can we play soccer today?" asked abhay after breakfast.
"Im sorry, Rohan. But your mother and me have an important appointment." he explained.
"Thats fine with me, then Ill play with uncle jeh." he answered shrugging his shoulders. I had to giggle.
"It wont dure too long, promised."
We got ready and drove to the police station to make the report, but they couldnt really help us. All the officer could say was that I should be careful, not go out alone or only with Rohan and that I should come back if Sameer shows up again.
"Great! Then its to late!" yelled abhay mad.
"I understand that youre concerned Mr. raichand but there is nothing we can do." said the officer apologising.
"What did they say?" asked jeh when we came back home.
"Only that they just can help us when its too late." said abhay mad.
"Wonderful, the police your friend and helper." mumbled jeh
"Guys, keep cool. We will get this together, ok?" tried misha to calm both of them down.
"You go with Rohan and play soccer, ok?" I added, they nodded and left.
"Are you ok, piya?" asked misha now, I knew there was no use in lying to her, so I shook my head.
"Not really, Im damn scared." I admitted.
"I can understand you, but try to relax a bit. Everythings gonna be alright." I sighed.
"I hope so."
The next few weeks were pure horror. I was so concerned about Rohan and abhay that I stopped eating and lost weight. Although Sameer havent called since the day he had tried to fetch Rohan I was scared to death.
"piya, I need to talk to you." chand Uncle had called me.
"Um...sure, Ill be right over, ok?" I said with a strange feeling.
About 1 hour later I arrived at his house.
"Im so happy you are here." He said and hugged me tight.
"Good to see you, too. How are you?" I asked. We settled down in the livingroom and although I was so lucky with abhay now, I didnt like this room at all.
"So, what can I do for you?" I asked, looking courious at him.
"Yes, I asked you to come here because I have to talk to you about your relationship with abhay..." he began scratching his forehad. I couldnt help but getting nervous.
"Its just...how do I say this?" I felt my blood rushing from my face.
"Whatever it is, just say it." I looked pleading at him, he shot me a look.
"Oh my god, no! No, dont be concerned. Its just, that you and abhay you are together for quiet a while and I was asking myself when you thought of getting married." I sighed in relieve.
"Oh, ok...uhm, actually we havent thought about it till now. You know because of the problems with Sameer and all. And he hasnt proposed to me till now." I explained with a little smile on my lips.
"But you love him?"
"More than my life. abhay and Rohan are everything to me." I answered honest.
chand Uncle stroke my cheek and smiled proud at me.
"You are such a good child." I smiled thankful.
I left chand Uncles house with a good feeling, I was so happy that he accepted me and that he wanted to push things forward between abhay and me.
He was really sweet and he absolutely adored Rohan. I have to admit, for me he was the perfect granfather.
"Where have you been?" asked jeh as I came back home in the evening.
"I visited chand Uncle." I answered smiling.
"It must have been good the way you are smiling." he concluded.
"Yes, it was. He asked me..."
"PIYA!" misha came running towards me, she seemed to be in panic.
"Whats up, misha, what has happened?" I asked alarmed.
She had to lean against the door to get some air.
"abhay...Sameer..." she stuttered.
"misha, talk to me! What is with them?!" I shook her at her shoulders.
"They are...fighting, outside." she managed to say.
I didnt even wait, I just ran outside and saw abhay and Sameer fighting on the street.
"Stop it!!!" I screamed, but they didnt listen. I wanted to seperate them, but jeh pulled me back on my arm.
"No piya, its too dangerous." he called. I looked up at him and saw an expression on his face I have never seen before. He still held my arm and he watched Sameer and abhay, it seemed like he was about to explode. His eyes were red and he breathed hard, his vein pulsed so hard I could see it under the skin of his neck.
"Ok, you stay here and dont move, ok...?" he looked at me in a way that made me shiver.
"But jeh..." but he cut me off.
"No piya. You stay here, got that? Its too dangerous." I just nodded.
He ran over to abhay and Sameer and encroached in the fight. abhay and him were stronger than Sameer and just when he was about to fall down, he pulled out a knife.
"Oh my god! Be careful!" screamed misha, who had reached me.
abhay and jeh jumped back.
"Please, be careful guys." I called frightened.
Sameer slowly got up and laughed dirty.
"How sweet how you try to stand in for this little s**t, but you have no chance. Shes all mine and I will take her with me. You got that? You can keep that little bas***d." He looked at me and grinned.
"Come here piya. Come to me, you know I love you." I shot him a mad look.
"Leave it, Sameer. I will never come to you. I dont love you." I called.
Sameer looked suprised at me.
"Are you sure about that? You know that I can make your life to hell." he glanced at me.
"Give up Sameer, she doesnt want you." said abhay now, trying to calm him down.
"What do you want from me? Im the one with the knife and I dont see why I should give up. I can take her with me and you cant do anything." he smiled to himself.
We heard the police coming and Sameer jumped.
"You called the police you little snake?" he looked at me.
"No, not piya, I called them." said misha brave.
"You? I knew it. You little..."
"Sameer. Let it, its over...you lost. Leave it. I dont love you and I never did." I said now moving forward to him.
"piya, I told you to stay there!" called jeh, but I didnt listen I just continued walking.
"I knew you would come to me." he laughed, confident he has won.
"No, Sameer. I will never come to you." I looked directly at him. I had almost reached him.
"Give me the knife, please." I talked in a soft voice to him and it effected him, the grip around the knife loosened. When I had almost reached him I heard Rohans voice, he stood in the door.
"Mum?" I turned around to him.
"Stay there, honey. Its ok." I called, but Sameer took advantage and attacked me. He was too fast for me to realize what was happening. I closed my eyes, ready to feel the pain from the knife, but I felt nothing. I only crashed the floor, jeh lay on top of me.
Now everything was just like I watched it from somewhere else but my own body. I looked at jeh and his eyes were full of pain, I held him in my arms and saw the knife sticking in his stomach.
"Oh my god, jeh Shh...its ok..." I tried to calm him down, he tried to smile at me, but then he fell uncouncious.
