Unleashed

A Ravika OS

It was well past midnight. The eerie ticking noise of the clock tore through the silence of the night, magnifying the quietness around by tenfold. Devika lay awake on her bed alone, wrapped uncomfortably by a blanket. For the umpteenth time, she looked up at the clock, and finally let out a sigh.

'Where is he?' she wondered. He was never this late. For a moment, a chill ran down her spine, thinking something unholy had befallen him, but the next moment she steadied herself by pushing aside such negative thoughts. 'No no...nothing can happen to him.'

Sleep had eluded her long back, and she felt restless from within. Unable to lie down anymore, she got off the bed swiftly and started pacing the room. 'Is he with her?' suddenly her mind questioned her heart. Within seconds, her face muscles tightened and her eyes welled up in tears. 'Oh yes...how could I forget?' she hissed underneath her breath. 'He is afterall, Ravi Garewal, the Playboy...the man who never dates a woman more than thrice.' More tears welled up in her eyes at the thought of Ravi spending time with his boss.

'You haven't gone to bed yet,' came a husky voice from behind her back, breaking her chain of thoughts.

Devika wiped off her tears, and turned around to see Ravi standing at the door, his shirt wrinkled, hair dishevelled. A mild fragrance, the one of feminine variety reached her senses sending a second chill down her spine. 'Was he really with her?' Pain, anger, grief all chocked her together from within at this very thought, forming more tears in her eyes, and she walked away swiftly without replying him.

'What happened? Are you alright Devika?' he asked, love evident in his tone. For once, she felt like melting in his affection, but the next moment she stopped herself.

'Huh...stop it. Just stop it Ravi,' she yelled at him, surprising him completely. Stop pretending like you are worried, stop pretending like you care...stop pretending that you...you..love me.' Tears rushed down her cheeks this time, and she stood showing her back to him.

Ravi came forward, and turned her to face him. What are you saying? Why would I pretend?'

'Huhhh...Why would you pretend? Bcoz you are Ravi Garewal...The eternal characterless guy...whose hobby is to play around with girls and break their hearts. You are Ravi Garewal, who doesn't know what is love...You love to cheat...You love to hurt...' she blurted out everything at one go, leaving Ravi stunned.

'Devika...do you have any idea what you are saying?' Ravi was dumbstruck at this kind of behaviour from Devika, in the middle of the night.

'Ofcourse, I have Ravi. You are a playboy, a Casanova, who enjoys ruining a girl's life. That's why you married me isn't it? First, my property, and then my innocence, isn't it? You thought, you would marry a simple girl like me, and then have fun outside with the likes of Miss Luthra, isn't it Ravi?' she yelled at him again.

'What? Miss Luthra? What are you talking about? And where does she come from?'

'Where does she come from? Huhhh... she is between us only. You think I am an idiot? I know what is going on between you and her...you arrive late at night...shirt and hair in this state...smell of perfume coming from your body...You think I am an idiot?' Devika was clearly not in her usual state of mind.

'Devika...it's nothing like that. It's not what you think it is. Let me explain. Please don't misunderstand me,' he tried to calm her down and cup her face in his hands, but the feminine fragrance from Ravi's shirt reached her senses again, driving her mad, and she moved away instantly.

'Stay away from me. Now I know who you are. You are a characterless guy,' she lashed out at him to hurt him further.

Ravi's face muscles tightened this time. He has had enough. 'Devika...stop it now. You are not even listening to me. Stay within your limits,' he said with a sudden seriousness in his tone.

'Oh yeah...now the truth hurts, isn't it Mr. Ravi Garewal?' she said harshly. You ARE a characterless man. And why would you not be? Your father is like this...went to jail so many times...your mother...absolute gold-digger, and your brother...huh...he too is following your footsteps. Your whole family is like this, and so----------'

'SHUT UP!!!!! I SAID SHUT UP!!!!!!!' yelled Ravi finally unleashing his wrath that he had held back for months. He grabbed her by her arms, scaring her and spoke out aloud, 'You think you can say whatever you want? You have always insulted me...called me names...but I have taken it lightly always...even joked without taking your words seriously. I have even apologized again and again for things I haven't even done. I have always overlooked your misbehaviour. But today you have crossed all limits...ALL LIMITS.' She stared at him in disbelief. Never before had she seen this side of Ravi. 'How dare you insult my family? Have I ever said anything about YOUR family? EVER? If you have anything to say about me, SAY IT, but never, I repeat, NEVER bring my family in between. YOU GET IT?'

He let go off her, turned around and stormed off the room, leaving Devika petrified in shock.
