A promise: That changed my life

Chapter 18: You've to pay!

Siya

Sunny went straight to his room after we came home, and I started to prepare for dinner. It was already 7 and Karan will come anytime soon.

The door creaks open, revealing Karan, he seems to be exhausted and disturbed by something as he just sits on the couch, taking deep breaths.

"Is everything alright?" I asked, he flinched at my sudden voice and then calmed himself.

"Yeah." He replies.

"Should I serve you dinner?" I asked him.

He shook his head, "I've no appetite, you have dinner, I will go and rest." He says, walking up to the stairs as Sunny was coming down.

"You're home?" Sunny asks.

"As you can see, but what are you doing here at least you should have to inform me before showing up," Karan told him.

"Yeah, I know, but living in a hostel is hectic because I can't focus on my studies there properly so…" Sunny explains.

Karan raises his brow, taking a few steps towards him, "And...since when do you start to feel hectic living in a hostel? You never mentioned it before."

"Actually…" As Sunny walks back.

"Stop with your fake excuses, Sunny, I know you, you just want to see how Adah and I are doing, isn't it?"

Sunny stares at him with wide eyes, "Okay, I am sorry, but it was Mom's plan, she was worried about you both. " He mumbled out.

"Right…" Karan whispers before nodding and vanishes into the room without uttering another word, Sunny comes towards me with confusion looming on his face.

"Bhabhi sa, I think something has happened with Karan bro," Sunny told me.

"Maybe, I've no idea...but why do you think that?" I asked, baffled.

"Because if he were in his usual mood he must have thrown my bags out of the house right away that too after scolding me for lying to him." He explained.

"Can I try to ask him?"

"No, leave it, Bhabhi sa, I will go to his office tomorrow after college to see what's going on with him." He said and I nodded.

"No!!No!!No!!No!!!" I yelled my heart out looking at Karan's picture which is placed in my bedroom, "You can't do this to me! I loved you like crazy and you didn't even care about my feelings! I was mad about you and your attention since we were kids and you..."

"Daddy, why is mommy crying?" My daughter, Jiya asks.

"Dust must have fallen in her eyes, don't worry you go and play outside with your brother, Ronnie, " Rajeev, my husband told her.

"But I wanted to play with you both."

"We will play but not now."

"Please-" I cut her off.

"Get lost, Jiya! Leave us alone!" She cried and ran out of the room.

"Rhea, what was that?! you made her cry."

"I don't care!"

"This is nonsense!" Rajeev shouted from behind me, "He doesn't love you the way you do...So I don't understand why you are so crazy about him?"

"You won't understand what love is, Rajeev, You won't understand," I said, calmly as I let more tears fall from my eyes.

"I won't understand?" He repeats, " If I wouldn't then I would have stopped you when you said you want to make love with your brother too, I would have stopped you when you said you love Karan more than me, but do you know why I didn't stop you?"

"Why?"

"Because I love you and that's why I let you do whatever makes you happy despite knowing that it's wrong and you know what? Forget Karan, he is married now and in a few years, he will become a father, a parent like us so it's better if we just focus on our children and our life, leaving him all alone." He said, making me sit on the couch in front of him, "If needed, I will take you to London where we can start a new life happily." He wiped my tears but I shoved his hands away.

"No! Rajeev, No! If Karan isn't in my life, I can never be happy! I want him…" Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

"What about his wife? His parents, his siblings? You can't ruin their happiness for your benefit." Rajeev said.

I shake my head, wiping off the tears, "you mean to say I can't get Karan as long as these people are in his life?"

"Yes, now you get." He said with a smile.

I smiled back, "Then how about I clear all these people from his life then he will be mine, Right?"

His smile fell within a second after I told him about my plans, "No...This is wrong….This is a crime, Rhea, I can't let you do this, I can't lose you."

"Shut up, Rajeev, nothing will happen, you supported me in everything and this is the last time I want support from you."

"But-" I cut him off.

"Please, If you love me."

He sighed defeated, "What if we get caught?" He asks.

"We won't, I will make sure, we won't."

I turned around to Karan's picture again, You have to pay me for hurting me and my feelings, Karan!
