Under his gaze (his forced bride) by Olivia Jessie (the giving tree read aloud txt) 📕

“Here." She offers me water. I shake my head in refusal.

“Can you now te-tell me everything pl-please." I plead.

“When was the last time you had contact with vihaan?"

“Fo-four days earlier....... Why?" I reply. My eyes again welling up with tears thinking about what we talked about and how that day ended up miserably.

“Oh. He was going to England that same day but.......but something happened and he was kidnapped....." my eyes widens at that. “Raj uncle was very angry with this. He worked very hard and found out who had kidnapped him. But he found it out today morning only. He did send his men and he himself went there to rescue him. Fortunately they found him. But......but he was laying on the ground ba-bathing on.....his o-own blood while that men where surrounding him. Raj uncle and his men rescued vihaan from those men and took him to the hospital. Hrithik is also there with them."

He was kidnapped. Vihaan always used to say that I should take precautions while going outside as I can get kidnapped but never have I taken his words seriously. I always thought that it was one of his ways to have him beside me. And he was also injured.

“Is he alright? In which hospital is he know? I-I want to see him."

“I-I don't know. Hrithik said that doctors are still treating him. And I don't know where they had kept him. Hrithik didn't told me." she replies.

Immediately I dial bhai. He picks it up after the last ring. “Bhai where is vihaan kept? I want to see him."

“Disha I can't tell you beside don't forget that you are not his wife or girlfriend."

“Still I WANT TO SEE HIM." I grit out. I know that I am nothing to him but that can't stop me from seeing him. “Bhai if you don't let me I will never talk to you." I threaten him.

I hear him signing in defeat “A car will be send to you tomorrow." Saying that bhai immediately ends the call. I again call him.

I want to see him right now. I can't wait for tomorrow.

“Now what Disha?" He says annoyingly.

“I want to see him now. Not tomorrow." I say.

“Ugh. Okay."

Before he can again end the call I say “Bhai don't take stress he will be alright." I don't know if I said this to assure him or myself.

“Yeah." With that the call is ended. I glance at Mia to see that she is already watching me with a small smile.

The car arrives at the bakery after one hour.

“Mia you also coming." I ask Mia. She was with me this whole one hour giving me company. This one hour we didn't talked just enjoyed the silence.

“No. I have some work but do inform me." I nod my head. I get inside the car and the driver takes off. With my head on the headrest I watch the dark sky. Soon that dark sky turns into a starry sky.

Guess we are out of the city.

“How many more minutes?" I ask the driver.

“Mam it will take time. Why don't you sleep till then? Hm." driver replies.

The car finally comes to a stop after a long drive. It's past midnight now. I glance at my surrounding to find that we have stopped before a gate. It opens after driver gives him something. The path inside of the gate is very brightly shining as compared to the dark path from where we came. I get out of the car as it stops before a medium size house. I meet bhai at the door.

“Is doctor still treating him?" I ask bhai as he takes me inside. His looking so stress.

“Yes. His treatment was successful. We are just waiting for him to open his eyes." he replies.

This house has only one floor and as bhai is taking me upstairs I guess we are going to first floor. Till now I have only seen nurse and one or two doctors. Raj uncle come in my sight as soon as we take left turn after ascending the stairs. His talking with doctor. I glance beside them to see a room. Immediately I find myself infront of that room. My hand darts to the handle to open it. But I get stopped by someone's hand on my hand.

“You can't go inside Disha." Raj uncle says from behind me. I haven't talked or seen him since the day he had called me to his office for apologizing.

“I will not do anything. I just want to see him." I say to him. My eyes intact on the door.

“Disha be grateful that I let you come here. No one knows about this place. I let you come here because I think of you as my own daughter." I turn towards him. His hand which was on my hand slips away as if they were only there to stop me from twisting the handle.

“Ple-please let me in. I just want to see him." I plead.

He signs. He is also looking so stressed out. With just a white shirt tucked in trouser pants, dark circles under his eyes and tousled hair completely shows that he is stressed beyond my imagination as I have never seen him this much stressed out even after he faces huge loss in business.

“You can see him from that window." He points towards the window which is few inches away from the door. Immediately I dart towards that window. With a heart beating at a tremendous speed I stand before the window. I glance inside to only have my sight blurry instantly.

Vihaan is inside laying on his back. An IV is joined to his hand.

I don't know for how many hours I see him but what I see the next moment breaks my heart. A tear sliding from his eyes.

Is he in pain? Is he having a nightmare? It must have been really hard for him.

“When will he wake up?" I ask Raj uncle who had come to stand beside me few seconds ago.

“He should wake up in next few hours."

“How did he got kidnapped? This has never happened or has it?" I ask. My eyes time to time moves towards Raj uncle.

“It has....." I get shocked “You don't remember it because it had happened when you were small. Very small. Vihaan was of 8 years at that time. He was kidnapped by some thug people just for few rupees. But I am grateful that it happened."

“Why?" I ask.

“In past even if he was kidnapped by some thug it had made me realise that it can happen again so I had some people to taught him things which are helpful in these type of situations. He has being these things since he was of 12 years. And this learning was helpful today." he replies.
