The Tales of love- I

35.4:"The depth of quicksand".

"What is she doing here?". His sister asked screaming

She rolls her eyes standing waiting for him to drop the next bomb and somehow now she is actually excited for the next scene.

"Appi, please allow us to come in and I will explain". He said holding her hand bringing her into the house

That didn't go unnoticed by her sister or her husband however she felt it was the most natural thing to do so she continue to enjoy the warmth and strength of his hand over her. She looks around the house and even though it's a small house, it's quite warm. Something she hasn't felt in a while.

"The mafia leader took one of my men to her show and was about to kill him when my team went there. The shooting caused everyone to run away and she wasn't able to so I helped her. But when we exit the place we came directly to the mafia leader who shoots her. We hide in a van and went to a very rural area and the people there threaten our lives because we were destroying their culture". He paused thinking about his next words

He turns to look at her while she was still busy admiring the house and he didn't realise that he was still holding onto her hand perhaps it was really his support system. He tugged at her hand and she turns immediately looking at him frowning which only add in her beauty and he resists the urge to smile at her.

"What culture?". His sister said breaking their eyes contact

He sighs, "They said we were not married and that I made her run from her wedding which is unacceptable".

"So?". His sister asked confused

"They shoot her again and they threaten to either kill us or marry her off to their men while make me do their labour work". He explained gritting his teeth when he remembers that and this time she tugged at his hand and he calmed down

"Who cares about her getting married to their men?. Tell me-". His sister started

"Appi". He said shocked yet stern at the thought she just said, "It was because of me she ended being shot twice and further mess and you are telling me I should have let them have her?. How would you feel if God forbid Sobia-".

"Don't". Mahak said shaking her head not wanting him to bring in children in their matter, "It's not right. Just let it be and explain the rest".

He closes his eyes having enough of going around the bush, "We are married. She is my wife".

Pin drop silence.

"Is this a joke?". His sister asked angrily standing from her seat

She leans back smirking at her anger rising.

"No. There were two options and I choose to marry her". He stated unfazed by his sister anger

"I had so many better options for you and this is what you did. You deserve someone who is best for you. I will not accept a woman like her to be anyone in our house. Get her out of here right now". His sister ordered

"Don't degrade a woman when you are a woman yourself, Appi. She is going nowhere. She is my wife and will be till the end". He said with the underlying of anger and he stands from his place so did she, "I am going to leave her back to her home and come back to discuss this further. However, know this that you will have to accept her and she will stay".

With that, he turns around still angry at her sisters words for her walking out of the house. This time he took his own car and she silently sits inside not wanting to fume his anger. There was something that was bothering her but she chooses to overlook the matter for now.

"Your address?". He asked and she types in her address on the GPS of his car as he starts to drives out of the house, "Don't think about my sister. I will handle her".
