OS Amarprem - Chapter 66 Part 2 updated Page 3 - Page 2

' Thakur sahib... I know u r in a hurry...but could u please wait for 5 more minutes...pratigya was going to come with me to...to see avinash...' Remya said, her voice cracking at the end , her eyes brimming ...'alright...' said Krishna , smiling as he was distracted when arjun held out his hands towards him , smiling up at him... pratigya watched Krishna pick up arjun n the way the child was so comfortable with him, a silly smile on her lips... 'shall we go?' she heard mrs agarwal ask her n she nodded absently , her eyes on Krishna n arjun... Krishna could feel her eyes on him n he gritted his teeth to stop himself from looking at her n walked out of the room with arjun... pratigya felt pangs of pain as she watched him walk away , not even looking at her...he smiled to all else! She thought feeling fidgety ... stop thinking about him! She hear her sane part shout at her! ... why do u want him to look at u? u were supposed to ignore him! Now u r behaving like a teenager, pratigya!!! Right!... she took a deep breath as she supported remya out of the room... sharada n mrs agarwal followed her... She looked around n saw Krishna walking towards the garden , holding a delighted arjun in his arms... Remya broke down again as she neared the ICCU n pratigya held her tight , every thought of Krishna escaping her... Pratigya saw avinash's parents for the first time n they received her in happiness , apologizing for not being able to come for the wedding due to prior business commitments ...she smiled politely at them , not knowing what to say ...only remya was allowed to go inside the ICCU as one person is permitted at a time n so pratigya stayed back , after watching avinash through the glass door... Her mind revolved around him walking through the garden with arjun n remya's turmoil n avinash's misfortune even as she smiled n nodded at avinash's parents n their general questions about her family... she smiled mechanically at the questions about her father n mother ...

Pratigya looked up as she saw him walk towards them, arjun sleeping in his arms... Krishna ignored pratigya completely again as he gave the child to remya's mother n shook hands with the men... 'so...see u soon... inform me when avinash is getting discharged' smiled Krishna , caressing arjun on head , gazing at mr. sinha...'ofcourse Krishna...have a happy journey... Tell sajjan that I am forever indebted to u...' mr sinha smiled ... 'hope u have all the happiness in the world' remya's n avinash's mothers wished Krishna n pratigya , smiling at them... 'we r staying back...' Smiled mr n mrs agarwal , who were family friends of mr n mrs sinha ...pratigya kept her face down , smiling at all , but feeling sad n nervous n fearful ... Sad that he is not even looking at her...! Nervous that she is going to be alone with him! N fearful that she will make a complete fool of herself again n again...! ...'u have ur task cut out to get him acknowledge how much u love him...beti' she jolted as she heard mrs agarwal murmur to her as she hugged her ... 'tough man to please , isn't he? '...she continued , winking at her ...pratigya felt her cheeks reddening n her body shivering... she smiled shyly at mrs agarwal ... 'so! Its already time...! I think Vikram is here!' Krishna said loudly as he turned n walked down the corridor ...pratigya hugged remya who came out of the ICCU, her eyes moist , even as her heart beat frantically... 'do visit us when u come here again...!' Smiled remya n pratigya felt a deep pain emanating in her chest...will she ever come back here? ... what will they think when the news gets out that KST's wife had eloped away under suspicious circumstances ? or will they bury the news ? or ..or will he hunt her down n kill her off for making him n his family a laughing stock?...no! what r u thinking? Whatever happens u will save ur mother! Yes!... pratigya smiled at all n kissed arjun on forehead, n then walked behind him ...

***********************************

Krishna shut the door of the rover with more force than he intended to as he reached the airport , n walked straight towards the special terminal to board the chartered flight... he had felt suffocating as he fought with himself not to look at her although the journey ...once they r inside the flight he will have to ask her about her spying...n don't touch her! ...vikram smiled politely at pratigya , who returned the smile nervously n absently as she followed Krishna , her eyes on his frame... her heart was beating in her mouth ... Why is he avoiding her? Why the hell r u sad? Isn't it good? ... I don't know!... he could just look at her n the heavy feeling in her heart would go away... that's all she needs... oh! What is happening to her? ... how could she let herself in such a pathetic condition? ...her heart fluttered as he accidently glanced at her while smiling at an official before entering the cockpit... she felt her heart relax as she climbed in behind him , a slight blush in her cheeks... Krishna threw his mobile away on a couch as he flopped down on one couch , running his hand through his hair, resisting the urge to look at her again...she is nothing! ... treat her as she deserves n u could get off all the weird feeling about her!...yes!... pratigya stood timidly n uncertainly for a moment before sitting down precariously over a couch , opposite to him...' did I tell u to sit, maid?' she heard him snap n felt a tremor run up her spine at the sheer coldness in his voice n a pang of pain in her heart... She stood up, her eyes twitching as she gazed at him in shock n pain... Krishna didn't even look at her as he pulled a magazine on the nearby table n started leafing through it...

Pratigya stared at him , feeling her heart being thrashed ... she fisted her hands to stop from crying ...why r u crying? Don't be weak! U ought to feel anger! He is treating u as dirt ! n instead of feeling anger , why r u feeling pain? ... ofcourse, she knows now! ...that why is she feeling pain at his indifference ! at his every action of humiliating her! ...bec...bec...she loves him! No!...don't pratigya!... u don't love him! How could u love such a man! I don't know! ... she had always laughed at her friend janet when she said that u don't have control over whom u fall in love with...everything changes in a slip sec...suddenly all ur being, ur world concentrates on that one person!...ur heart will never come back to u , never ever!...she had thought that janet has gone insane!...but ...but...she can't even beging to explain the feeling...it was as though she was standing idle n is being swept by a tide or hurricane , even taking the ground beneath her...is this love? Isn't love something which strengthens a person? How come it is weakening her? No!... She gazed at him, feeling helpless ... fight!... Think about ur mother!...yes!...u don't want to love him! U r not urself infront of him! U forget the world! Ur mother! Everything!...do u really want that kind of love?... do u really want to fall in love with such a person who is capable of humiliating u, hurting u n even then make u feel helpless in his love? ...where is the strong pratigya u used to be? U sacrificed that pratigya for ur mother ...don't u dare destroy ur soul n heart n body too in such a dangerous love! ...Yes!...think about only ur mother! ... pratigya took a deep breath...but to save her mother she will need to destroy atleast 2 things ! her honor n dignity! ... how r u destroying them, pratigya? Aren't u willing to let him take u in any way he wants? No!...she will die , but won't let him trample her dignity! Whoever he is! However much she loves him! Ha! U r doing just that pratigya! Listen to urself! ... Earlier u dreaded his hands on u! now u r looking forward to it, aren't u? no!...have u ever thought about it? ...what? ...The kind of humiliation u r going to have at his hands? Here u r hopelessly in love with him, offering urself to him, ...n him! ...he will be taking u as a means to satisfy his lust! Just as a slave! No! ...pratigya shuddered , the shock of her own thoughts jolting her to the core... why r u thinking all these things? Just forget him! ... Ignore him!... I told u he is dangerous for u from the beginning! Screamed her sane part at her...

Krishna watched her through the slits of the pages of the magazine... she had gone pale... as if in pain... he saw her eyes gaze up at him in shock n pain... Yes! ... treat her just like that! She is always playing games isn't she? ...let her know that u r never going to fall for her games!... he saw her taking deep breathes as if she was fighting for air , her fists clenched ... does she want to protest? Let her! She will know what exactly is meant by a maid then! He though savagely ... but, why was he feeling the pain in her face , in his heart? ...damn, don't look at her!... he forced his eyes to the magazine again, but he wasn't seeing anything ...all he could see was her pained face... He gritted his teeth , closing his eyes in anger... 'been enjoying the position of my wife all this time , weren't u? thought that u could enjoy it permanently , did u? ...u r just a maid! Get that into ur system, hard n proper! ...' he snapped at her , looking up at her... Pratigya's eyes brimmed , but she fought the shreds of pain now clawing at her heart... she looked back at him, her eyes meeting his n she felt her heart being ripped as his cold gaze pierced her ...very good KST! U r doing good!...don't fall for her pretenses !... 'so remember ur position from now on ...as we r , again, in a public space, u can sit...!' He croaked , not looking at her as he found her eyes disturbing ...

Pratigya slumped down on to the couch , her head feeling heavy...she gulped frantically not to cry... but the pain was getting unbearable... Krishna threw the magazine away in frustration as all he could think was of apologizing to her ...no! what's happening to him? ... he laid back on the couch , closing his eyes... His thoughts were full of her pained face... pratigya looked at him ... the faster she gets the files, the faster she can be away from him!... she won't , can't stand the humiliations anymore ...bec it was ripping her apart, each n every moment... she clasped her pallu tightly n looked down to find his medicines secured in them... every thought left her except him n his injuries n what the doctor had said to her... Oh ! the doctor has instructed her to apply the ointment early in the morning... its already 7, she guessed ... she looked up at him tentatively ... she must tell him... she can't wait until they reach his house n tell chandu...what if chandu isn't home? N it will be late too... She saw him laid on his back , his eyes closed...she stood up , her heart beating faster... suddenly all she could feel was shyness n an odd excitement n a bout of nervousness ... what r u going to do pratigya? Ignore him!... but he is injured ! n I must tell him about the medicines...! She walked to him n stood near to him, her fingers clasped around the ointments ... 'er...' She began , n was visited by the strangest thought ...what would she call him? ...she had called him by his name all along ,KST...! But...she looked at him through her lashes as she remembered how she had called him by his name when the fire broke out... she could feel her heart fluttering n a curious sense of butterflies in her stomach as she cleared her throat...' krishna..?' Krishna almost opened his eyes as he heard her calling his name...it sounded so sweet , coming from her lips... he kept his eyes closed , letting the feel wash over him...why is she calling u? ... pratigya looked down at his arms, the minimal burns over it making her heart sad...his arms were visible upto his elbow where he had drawn up the hands of his shirt... before she knew it she had extended her hand to caress along the back of his palm over the blistered skin...it took all his self control not to open his eyes or move... what is she doing? his brain buzzed... may be she is going to kill u? don't just lay there ! react u fool! Shouted his brain but Krishna ignored it...

Pratigya had sat down on her knees n caressed the length of his arm , her eyes shy n yet caring ... she looked up to his face...' krishna..?' ... he so wanted to open his eyes , but he could feel a part of him wanting to find out what would she do if he remained sleeping ... n he was going to listen to that part... Pratigya looked at him in confusion... He dozed off so quickly ? ofcourse , he must be really tired ! he didn't sleep all night ! ...oh! he is such a deep sleeper ...she looked at him fondly...but he must apply the medicines! What if the burns worsens ?...she looked down at the medicines, panicking ... krishna waited for like ages , his every pore listening for any movement from her... all he could feel was a pleasant feeling , his skin feeling good wherever she touched ...pratigya removed her hand from his arm n Krishna could feel all his cells protesting ...he almost opened his eyes to see where she had gone when he felt her fingers again over his arm , this time with some sticky thing accompanying them... what is she doing? ... His heart felt lighter as the cold substance felt good over his burns ... Pratigya had thrown caution to winds n started applying the ointment over his arms... she just couldn't help it... what r u doing pratigya? He will wake up ! n will humiliate u again! ... stop right now n go back to ur seat! ... its all useless anyway! U can't put the medicine over his shoulder! ...or over his knee! ... don't embarrass urself again n again! Stop right now!... but her fingers moved smoothly over his injuries, only listening to her heart...krishna could feel his breath becoming faster as her fingers did their magic on him... It felt too good... he opened his eyes slightly , unable to resist n saw her applying some sort of white paste over his burns, soothing him... he gazed at her through the minimal opening of his eyes , lost in the kind of care in her eyes...he suddenly remembered what the doctor told him...the medicines, ofcourse!... why is she doing this?... he blinked at her, confused ... pratigya started as she saw his eyes open n stood up abruptly , gasping , trying to move away...krishna grabbed her hand , sitting up n she fell to his lap, a soft aah' escaping her lips, her eyes wide as they met his...she felt amazingly good, in his lap, he thought... he looked down over her hands to see her clutching the tubes ... 'what the hell were u doing?' he asked , his eyes boring into hers... Pratigya who was feeling panicky n her heart hammering , said , not meeting his eyes ...'the..doctor ...he said that u... these medicines need be applied on ...those injuries... 2 times a day... I...here...' she tried to loosen her hands from his n tried to get up from his lap...she looked beyond cute... Krishna let go of her arms n pratigya stood up abruptly , trying to breathe properly ...she looked up at him , her eyes shy ... She offered the tubes to him silently... feeling happy that he didn't snap at her or humiliated her... feeling relieved that now he will apply them as per what the doctor said ...feeling sad that she can't apply them herself ...NO! what r u thinking? Get away from him!!!... Krishna looked up at her , his heart n mind waging a furious war... On one side his heart was brimming ...she is concerned for me! She wants to take care of me!... no! what r u thinking KST? R u thinking that she cares for u? u heard what she told u yesterday! Nobody cares for u! even ur mother! She is trying to fool u! ... don't forget who is she? What she had done!... she is slowly trying to trap u in her false care! ...krishna's eyes narrowed ... pratigya , who had bend to keep the medicines near him, didn't see the change in his eyes...his eyes roved over her frame as she bend n she shivered , feeling his eyes over her...she looked up at him, unable to stop herself , her body reacting in a delicious shiver down her spine as she met his gaze ...

Krishna chuckled , biting down his anger, as now lust slowly started creeping in...'Now that u have understood the duties of a maid , why don't u do it properly? ... apply it on my shoulders too...' he smirked at her, his eyes glinting in a mixture of amusement n lust...Pratigya looked up at him, her heart clenching in pain n shock... Krishna sat straighter on the couch , his eyes piercing hers ... yes! ... show her that whatever she tries , she means nothing to u!!!... nothing! ... ... Tears brimmed in her eyes as pratigya picked up the tube , her fingers trembling ... 'what r u waiting for? U r deaf, maid?'... he snapped at her ... don't cry! She told herself ... She looked up at him uncertainly ... Atleast his injuries will be properly attended to ... n u can apply it urself ...! she heard her heart whispering to her in joy...no! ... What r u thinking pratigya? U have already destroyed ur life n career for ur mother!... how much more humiliations u will undergo ? that too by ...by him?... he will keep on hurting u n u r ready to be hurt? What is happening to u pratigya? ...I don't know... I just want him to be alright soon!... krishna looked at her pale face ... why is she changing her moods in a spilt of sec?... 'er...' pratigya began , her heart suddenly panicky n shy... oh! How was she going to tell him to take his shirt off?...no! she won't do it!... Pratigya trembled , meeting his eyes ...'take ...take ur shirt off so that...I can...apply the ointment...' she stuttered , her cheeks red... Krishna raised an eyebrow ...his eyes on her red cheeks...' its u who wanted to apply the medicines...not me... n I won't apply too... lets see how u do it!' he chuckled , liking the way her eyes became wide , adorable panic in them... pratigya was shocked...he didn't say! No way she is going to do it! ... She saw him relax back on the couch , his eyes challenging her... 'right ...I am not really particular about it...' Krishna said , trying to snatch the medicines from her hand n trying to throw it away to the corner...'no!' she said , moving her hand away... why r u doing this krishna? ...I just want to see her red cheeks ... n also I like the feel of her hands over me!... now cut the crap out n let me enjoy this! Krishna shouted at his mind...

pratigya closed her eyes , taking deep breathes to clam down... She was feeling panicky n shy to the core... She put the medicines near him on the couch , standing on her knees in from of him...between his legs... their eyes met ... Her hands tremblingly extended towards his neck , her throat dry... she fumbled with his shirt buttons , opening one by one, her hands trembling like anything, her eyes fluttering , cheeks burning ... trying her level best not to touch his colar or chest... his muscular shoulders n hairy chest came to her view n she could feel an unknown feeling , the women lying dormant in her slowly rearing her head, enjoying the man infront of her... Krishna was holding his breath , his eyes on her red face... n her nimble fingers ... he never let anything touch him unless he wanted a massage...let alone undress him!... but she is different! He wanted her to do this n much more to him! ... desire spread like wild fire through his veins as he watched her pulling his shirt tucked around his waist , that beautiful blush in her face receding down her neck... Pratigya could feel his eyes on her n she couldn't breathe ...his belly was flat n muscular , his waist manly ... A long line of hair receded down his chest along his belly towards his...no!... she stood up abruptly n walked , shivering at the kind of thoughts filling her mind... what has happened to her? When did she became so...shameless?...

Krishna sat like a statue , not trusting himself to move... He felt her at the back of the couch n felt her fingers around his shoulders, trying to pull down the shirt... every thought escaped pratigya as she saw the extent of his burns along his shoulder , as she pulled the shirt down ... Krishna freed his hands n pratigya pulled away the shirt, a soft gasp escaping her at the burned skin n also at his majestic back, lion like waist...Krishna looked at her , his face turned sideways ... suddenly asking her to apply medicines there seemed a bad idea...it is! Reaffirmed his heart as he felt her fingers over his back n shoulders ...he gritted his teeth n started hard at the other couch in front of him , trying to divert his mind from the list of things he would want to do her! Now!... pratigya , her mind caught up only in his injuries , bend over him , her hair falling over his bare back n along his left shoulder as she reached down the couch to take the medicine tube... Krishna inhaled her , his fists denting the couch as he gritted his teeth to keep his mindless lust at bay... why r u fighting it? I don't know... He shook his head in frustration ! yes ! u know! She is a maid! ... yes! That's it!... now stop this dangerous wish of urs before it gets out of ur hand n u make a complete ass of urself...! He was about to tell her to stop when he felt her soft fingers over his back... the cold medicine coupled with her fingers soothed his skin n only then he actually felt that his skin was indeed damaged ... But not anymore! ... he could feel himself relaxing against her touch... it felt too good... pratigya , her heart saddened by his injuries , was only focused on applying the medicine thoroughly ... It was secs later that she realized was she was actually caressing his back n shoulders ... She felt shy n panicky , her eyes taking in his body ... she felt his relax n smiled ... Krishna closed his eyes , the feel of her hands acting as a balm , more than the medicine ...

they didn't remember how long they stood n sat like that but pratigya jumped as she heard the pilot announcing that they have reached the airport ...Krishna snapped opened his eyes n stood up , flustered ... he checked his watch , looking up at her n saw her dry her hands in her shawl , her face scarlet... He pulled his shirt on , looking at her ...pratigya , her heart beating in shyness n happiness , walked to her couch n sat down , looking down... Krishna smirked at her...' that was pretty good , maid! '...pratigya looked at him, her heart bursting in pain... She fought her tears again as he ignored her ... Krishna was seething inside ... u felt too good to be true ! why is that that everything her is feeling so good!... accept it! Everything about her feels so good! No! ... I won't let her win over me! Never ever! ... they alighted n walked towards the waiting rover ... Krishna got in , not even looking at her ... She climbed in , clutching the medicines ...

she looked at the ring in her hand n the mangal sutra around her neck for a long time , until they reached his home...pain n sadness assaulted her... She looked up to meet his eyes in the mirror ... krishna's eyes , until then confused n stressed , turned cold n emotionless ... he looked away as he climbed out , frustration filling him... pratigya got down, looking up that house ... There was a time when she had come to this house as a hostage ...as a forcefully married bride ... Never wanting to enter again ... But ...but now ! that thought that she never will belong here was filling her heart with sadness ... She looked at him as he climbed the steps ... she felt her heart being cut into millions of pieces as the realization dawned on her ...it was even more painful as the realization that she was falling for this man... she was falling for a man who will never ever reciprocate her feeling ... he treats her the way she is to him... A maid! or a slave ! Nothing more ...ever! ... NO! ...u promised urself u will fight ! pratigya , she heard her sane part lash out at her , the voice weak among the valley of despair in her chest...yes! she will fight ... ! she tried to tell her heart ... but where is her heart? It was long gone... never to be taken or returned back...she remembered the dream she had had on her first night here... he won't take it, neither he will return it ...he had her heart n he is ripping it...mercilessly ... ... oh ! what has happened of her life?...

Hope u liked it 😃
