"I did it all to throw this good-for-nothing, middle-class lass away from your life", said Nyonika.
"You lied to me about Soha being dead just to separate me from Nandini?" I said in a calm and composed tone. I felt Nandini's delicate hand grip mine tighter. She knew that no matter how much I was trying to keep up this facade. Inside I was seething with anger. And pain. Pain that this woman, my mother, could go to these extents to keep me from happiness.
Nyonika's seething stare shifts towards Nandini. Her mouth opens to direct her anger towards Nandini, but I stop her before she can spew one more filthy word towards my girl. "Don't you dare!", I say to her, gripping Nandini's hands to keep my anger at bay.
Nyonika's phone rings and she picks it up, smirks at me, and walks out of the house. Just like that, she walks away from me. No justification. No regret for what she did.
I walk up the stairs, holding Nandini's hand, and lock my bedroom door.
******************
I finally leave Nandini's hand and turn around, her eyes glitter with unshed tears. "Manik." She makes me sit on the bed and takes my face in her hands. She kisses my forehead, and then kisses those traitor tears away from my cheeks. I crush her lips against mine delicately and suck at her cherry lips. I know she wants to take away all the anger and agony from me and replace it all with her love.
But it was all in your head
I make her climb on top of me and kiss her harder. I want to own her, possess her, make myself confirm that something beautiful in this world is mine, only mine.
"Say it", I demand. "I'm yours", she says, moaning loudly as I suck, bite and kiss at her neck and cleavage, leaving marks of my love all over her.
"I love you so much, baby. I need you more than I need my next breath. Please don't ever leave me. I won't be able to survive it", I say to her. I know I'm sounding so desperate right now but I'm too far gone to care.
"Never... how can you even think that?" she says indignantly. "I love you so much that it hurts and you seem to think..." she trails away, her dark chocolate orbs filling up with tears. I reverse our positions swiftly, wrapping my arms around her so tightly that she can't even move an inch away from me.
"I'd rather die than leave you", she murmurs, breaking our gaze to stare at the window. I glare at her and grab her face to make her look at me. She stares back just as fiercely and I cover her quivering mouth with mine and kiss her. Hard. She gasps and pulls at my hair to make me look at her.
"Apologize", I growl. Her eyes widen in anger as she shakes her head in denial. She has no right to talk about herself like that anymore, she knows that even the thought of losing her shreds my heart into millions of pieces.
"Now you know how I feel when you talk about me leaving you", she says softly. My eyes fill up with tears as the depth of her love for me dawns upon me like never before.
Her slender, petite frame wraps around my hard packed body like a warm quilt. She takes my hand and bites at my index finger, and then sucks it again to sooth the sting. I make her lie down on the bed and pull her slender body against my chest. My arms form a protective stature around her shoulders of their own accord. I kiss her forehead multiple times, kissing her good night.
Tomorrow would come and bring a new battle for us again. But it'll be okay as long as she's with me.
My girl. My fighter.
