《The Enemy's Mistress》Chapter 20

"It's been almost 11 months to your divorce! Why can't you get over of that girl?", Juliana tried to convince her son, almost on the verge of breaking down when she saw him drinking heavily to get rid of her thoughts. After his divorce, he started drinking heavily to get rid of the pain and loneliness but now it became his permanent friend.

"Exactly mum, It's been 11 months since she has gone from my life but I couldn't get rid of her thoughts. She was like an addicting drug to me. I was a fool to let her go! I was a fool to play that stupid...stupid game of revenge. If I've treated her with love and care, she would have never gone from my life. I've tried my level best to find her address but still there is no piece information about her whereabouts",he replied in a disappointing tone, gulping down another peg.

"Y-you're spying on her?", juliana eyes widened hearing to his son's slurring voice.

"Not spying...just wanted to see her from afar. I wanted to see how she is without me. That sight would be enough to calm my mind. Don't worry, I will never try to hurt her again or come in front of her to scare her with my presence", he replied sighing while lifting his sober body from the couch and slumped on the bed.

Juliana looked over her son's drunk and pathetic state with pity filled in her eyes. She didn't realised that one week is enough to fall for someone madly. It is said that there is a very thin line between love and hate. They didn't realised when this line was being erased eventually with her radiant presence in his dreary life but his stupid brain was adamant on breaking her in the name of 'Revenge'.

"Can't you work a bit faster? The customers are waiting,you lousy girl!!", the head staff yelled at Aranya who was hurriedly chopping capsicums while sweating profusely under her hard glare.

"I-I'm working at my utmost speed. I-I can't work faster than this...",she replied hesitantly chewing on her bottom lips.

"Then get your ass off from this restaurant!!",she yelled and swiftly turned on her heels making her sigh in relief.

"She is damn obnoxious! Don't pay heed to her words and work at ease!", Abhishek replied while passing her a gentle smile. She too smiled back and started working...

Abhishek is 27 years old, divorced and works in same resturant as her. They had been working here in Hyderabad almost 10 months now and in no time, they became very close friends to each other. All thanks to his great sense of humor and charismatic personality. She forgets all her worries whenever she's around him. Every Saturday night, they used to hang out together having fun at cinemas, parks and cafes. She also started enjoying her life forgetting about her past but a little corner of her heart was still beating for her ex-husband. She couldn't get over him, how hard she'd tried.

That's why she left the idea of finding another soulmate. She'd never told him that she's divorced. She didn't wanted any kind sympathy from him. She's been in contact with her family and her grandmother in law virtually but after coming here, she never got the time to meet her family, neither she wanted to...

Flashback...

"He's also fine! When will you return dear? We miss you a lot",her mother replied sobbing on the phone.

"I miss you too but I can't come. You know why I'm here. Until he forgets me completely, I'll not come back. Don't worry I'm fine here!",she replied with tears welling up in her doe eyes.

"Today also he came with 50k. I told him that I don't want any money but he replied that he's not doing any favour. Though he and you are divorced, he would serve us as a son and not son in law. After your father is paralyzed, I'm completely helpless. Neel's school and tution expenses along with your father's expensive medicines are too much for me to afford.

Even the money you send is not sufficient alone for his school fee. Sorry dear but in the future, I'll try to return all his money when Neel will stand on his feet",she replied heaving a heavy sigh.

Aranya didn't said anything and immediately hang up her call, feeling too much overwhelmed and pathetic.

Why the hell you entered in my life Akshat Malhotra? First you broke everything and now you're trying to mend it!! You're money is not worth my pains...

Flashback Ends...

"Um...are you free this weekend, Aranya?",he asked all of a sudden.

"Why?",she immediately questioned...

"Just wanted to go out with you...if you don't mind",he replied hesitantly.

"Abhishek actually...",she tried to deny but he shook his head and said "you're coming with me! That's it."

"Fine! Now let me serve the order on table no. 19", she sighed and hurried outside the kitchen l, leaving Abhishek smiling victoriously.

"Cool! This time I'll surely propose you!",he mumbled to himself with his eyes sparkling in hope and happiness.

"Haven't found anything about her! Don't know where she is! Got no information about her! The fuck I'm paying you $80,000 for listening this!!! Listen Kartik very well that If you don't find her in less than a week than I won't spare you. Mark my words, 'I WON'T SPARE YOU, DAMNIT!'

Now get the hell lost out of my sight!!",he yelled infuriated, slamming his fist hard against the glass table hard while raking his fingers through his hair in frustration. He drank some water to calm his throbbing nerves when he heard a Knock on the door.

"Dr. Sachith! Please have a seat!",he replied seeing sachith entering inside his cabin. He nodded and sat across the couch close to his table.

"So how's your mood today? Are you able to keep a hold on your anger because hearing you yelling at someone while I was coming here, isn't a positive sign to me as your doctor. You're still having anger management issues!",he asked smiling warmly at him.

"No...actually....",he tried to deviate the topic but sachith interuppted in between "You should never lie to your doctor!"

"Fine! Yes I'm still having anger issues...The moment since Aranya left me, I get furious over small things. Even the slightest mistake irks me. I can't help it! I'm afraid that in future, I might hurt her too. I think it's better if I don't approach near her but at the same time I feel like I can't live without her.

She's like my daily dose of Energy. Without Energy, we can't survive for long time",he replied sighing. The eyebags which weren't even there few months ago, were clearly visible under his eyes while his face was looking all tense and tired.

The doctor nodded his head hearing his response and continued "Don't lose hope Akshat! I know one day you'll be able to control your raging nerves and that moment everything will be fine. Just keep a faith in yourself.

Whatever you've done is unforgivable but since you're trying really hard, I know one day you guys will be together. Till then trust in yourself and just continue with your session with positive approach."

He nodded and continued having conversation with Dr. Sachith which was a part of their weekly session. After he divorced Aranya, he went into same hospital where her father was admitted in the ICU. His right arm was paralysed because of the bullet hitting staight on his motor nerve.

He got her father discharged from the hospital and while he was returning, he collided with Dr. Sachith. He gave him his card to meet him in his cabin whenever he is free. After that they had a bit chit chat. Since then he is his councellor and now they've become really close friends, more than being in a relationship of doctor and patient.

"What would I do without your smart mouth?Drawin' me in, and you kickin' me outYou've got my head spinnin', no kiddin'I can't pin you down

What's going on in that beautiful mind?I'm on your magical mystery rideAnd I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit meBut I'll be alright

My head's under waterBut I'm breathing fineYou're crazy and I'm out of my mind

'Cause all of me loves all of youLove your curves and all your edgesAll your perfect imperfectionsGive your all to me, I'll give my all to youYou're my end and my beginnin'Even when I lose, I'm winning"
