《You're My Destiny》Chapter 37 ~ Burnt!
Advertisement
Finally the day ended with a lot of clashes between Arjun and Tamizh. Anyway, I was able to see my father and mother.
The next day, Arjun, Tamizh and father went to look the military troops. I hope my father will be able to bear them.
I heard my room door open and turned to look back at Aarthi.
Why is she standing here?
I looked at my watch in her hand and my eyes widened.
"I found this on your bag yesterday. I guessed how important is this unknown thing for you."
That's when I regretted making the maids packing my things. Only if I had packed my things by myself, it wouldn't have happened. I don't know why my maids decided to keep the watch in the bag.
But, how did the watch go to Aarthi's hands? That's when I remembered what happened last night.
I finished my dinner and was walking back to my room. Arjun was having talk with my father and I decided to sleep because I was tired from sitting in the horse for too long.
I wonder how he is able to ride in the horse every day.
Just then I saw Aarthi sneaking out of my room with someone hidden behind her shawl of her dress.
I paced fast towards her and caught her wrist.
"What are you doing here?", I asked and she threw my hands away walking back to her room.
I was confused why she came to my room. I entered inside my room and checked Arjun's bag. I don't care about my bag. If she ever touched Arjun's things, I would definitely be jealous.
But, thankfully every things of him was there. I was still confused why she came here.
Realisation hit me. She came to the room and stole my watch.
"You want this watch?", She asked with a mocking face.
"You're either going to give me the watch or I'm going to slap right across your face multiple times.", I threatened her and she scoffed.
"Then, try to get it from me..", she said while walking towards her room. I caught her wrist and tried to stop her where we finally reached her room.
I entered her room where I heard the door lock and I turned back to see Aarthi's maid. I looked back at her who was having an evil smirk on her face.
"You know why Arjun left you? Not because you were imperfect but because of the fact that he loves me. Yeah, he loves me so deeply that he is willing to throw all other women from his life... including you.", I said mocking her.
She looked a bit distracted from the watch which was replaced by anger on me.
"No. It's not true!", She yelled like a maniac. That's what I want. I want to make her go crazy.
"Yeah, it's true, my dear sister. I can affirm you that it's a complete truth. He hates you for what you did."
"No!", She yelled with both of her hands on her ears.

By now, her only thoughts were around Arjun and me loving each other. She dropped the watch on the floor and screamed to let out her anger.
"He loves he and hates you.", I provoked her and she took long strides towards me.
I took that opportunity to take the watch and walk towards the door in which the maid was blocking. That's when Aarthi grabbed my hand and I was struggling to free my hands from her.
I slipped on a my own shawl where we both fell on the floor. My forehead was fleeding where her side of the lips were bleeding. She didn't care about her injury and her concentration was still on the watch.
There was a heater near us where we didn't care about the danger and kept fighting.
I almost snatched it back from her when she threw it in the heater and sighed in relief. I looked at the heater as it was blazing in fire.
I felt anger building up in me and I pinned her to the floor and punched her hard twice on her face. The maid started shouting and calling people as I started to attack her.
People started rushing inside the room and tried to pull me away from her. I could see how bad her cheek bone was injured.
"What are you doing, Thara!", I heard Arjun yell.
When did he come back?
"I- she was the one who broke my favourite bracelet!", I yelled back. I told him bracelet because I don't think addressing it as watch will be a good idea.
"So?", He asked and I felt instantly anger.
"What the- she threw my bracelet in the fire."
"So? You're prone to kill her? It might have accidentally broke.", The queen said. She's ready to support her daughter even though if it's right or wrong.
"As if you saw what happened.. don't tell opinions when you didn't see what happened.", I snapped at her and Arjun held my hand.
He dragged my outside her room where Tamizh was following us.
"You going to scold her? I'm damn sure the mistake was Aarthi's.", Tamizh said while walking behind us.
"Don't interfere in my life. Just do your own business.", Arjun said.
We reached our room where he locked the door behind while Tamizh was still standing outside for me. I don't know why but because of the fact that Tamizh was just a wall away makes my fear go away.
He is here with me.
"What happened? And, I want only the truth.", He said and I have no idea if I could say that the thing which Aarthi burnt was my time travel watch.
My eyes teared up thinking about the watch. I can't go back to my timeline. I can't go back... forever.
"Why are you crying?", He asked. I silently placed my head on his chest and started crying my heart out because I know I can't go back home..
"What happened?", He whispered across my ears.

"She burnt it.", I started crying and hiccuping.
"It's ok. It's just a bracelet right?", He said and I nodded.
"I can buy you more than 100 bracelets. Don't worry. Can we go for shopping today evening and buy you a new one?", He said and I shook my head.
He doesn't understand. Nor he can.
"You don't understand. Just leave me alone.", I said plopping on the bed with my head hung low.
He took a seat beside me and hugged me.
"Don't be like that. I just yelled at you because you were literally about to kill her. I don't want my wife to be a killer. I don't want people to talk that you killed your own sister and-"
"Just stop it. Don't give me excuses. You yelled at me because she was hurt. Then, you dragged me to this room very harshly in anger. You were angry just because I hurt her."
"It's not like what you-"
"It is. You can buy me hundreds of bracelets. But, can you give me back the same one? No, right? Then, leave me alone!", I yelled the last sentence throwing a pillow at him.
"What is wrong with you! It was you who was punching her like a maniac just because broke a bracelet. Are you even in your senses? Who would go to the extend of killing someone just because of a small bracelet!?", He yelled back.
I turned my face to the other side.
"Okay. Now, answer my question. Who leaves their wife in the middle of the forest just because your hand was cut?", I said and I could feel his anger getting to its peek. But, I don't really care.
"It was all because of you! You were the one who called my mother with names. It wasn't my fault. How would you react when I call your mother or father with names!?", He yelled.
"That is what I hate about you! You believe everyone around you except me!"
"Really? You are the one who cares about yourself.... like selfish.", He said and the last word hit me hard.
Did he just call me selfish?
"You were the one who was selfish, Arjun. You were the one who left me to die in the forest because you believe everyone except me. You believed your mother. But, did you ever think about believing me? Now, tell me. How many people you have killed in war? You are also a killer. Do you think any woman wants killer as her husband?"
"Shut up!", He yelled.
"What if I say I won't? I will. You are a killer! And you want an innocent girl as your wife? Then, you shouldn't have dismissed your concu-", before I could finish my sentence, he raised his hand to slap me where I closed my eyes.
After 3 seconds, I opened my eyes to see his hand in the air. He didn't slap me but he raised his hand to slap me, right? Isn't it abusive?
"What do you think of yourself, huh!? I can do anything I want. I can dismiss them anytime I want."
"Yeah, you can. But you cant change the fact that you had 3 concubines and 1 side consort.", I said and he took long strides towards the door and walked outside the door where he slammed the door loudly and I flinched.
What's with him?
I sighed lying on bed. Just then, some of the thoughts crossed my mind. Should I stay here forever where I don't belong to?
Seriously?
I don't know why but I was scared. Even though I like being here because the people around here is good. But, I don't belong here. I wonder what's happening in my real timeline.
Is my sister Ramya and nephew doing good? Does my dad abuse my mom again? Even though my mom doesn't complain about the abuse but as a child, I'm worried about her.
So, that's it? I'm not thing to see them again?
Few teardrops escaped my eyes where I closed my eyes thinking about the life I had before. Think about the man who found the watch! He would be devastated to know that the watch is gone forever.
God! I'm good for nothing! I did a mistake. I shouldn't have let the maids to pack my luggages. They packed it accidentally considering it as some special jewel.
I really hate them for that. They should've asked me before packing that thing.
"Why me?", I mumbled desperately. There's no one I could share my misery and feelings.
I heard knocks on my door and I felt anger rising up in me. Right now, I hate everyone! Every single person.
"Get out!", I yelled. I don't know who was it but I know it's definitely not someone who support my actions.
"It's me. Your brother. Open the door.", He said and I ignored.
"Whoever it is. I don't care! Just get out!", I yelled at the top of my lungs.
"Calm down, Thara. Just open the door. I just don't blame you for thrashing her like that. Even though I don't know what she did but I know you won't do something without reasons.", He said and I was touched by his sentence.
I walked slowly towards the door and opened the door slowly revealing Tamizh standing, leaning his arm on the wall.
"You okay?", He asked and I nodded.
"You're going to let me in?", He asked and I let him inside my room where he sighed.
"What happened?"
"She burnt an important thing that belonged to me."
"And, what's that?"
"None of your business. It's something really important. That's all I could let you know."
"Okay, so, what did that bastard say about that?"
"He said no one would punch a person like that for just a thing. And... he was about to slap me."
"What!?", Rage was plastered in his face. He took long strides towards the door and just like that, he left.
