Are YOU The One For ME?

(Mature Language 18+)

“ENOUGH...!” Hunter shouted and raised his right hand such that his palm was facing straight at her.

She got scared at his sudden outburst but composed herself. She knew that she had to keep her stand if she wanted her answers.

“NO! It’s my right to ask and it is not enough” Aria snapped back trying not to break into tears in front of him.

“You have no right... GET LOST...” Hunter completely ignored her glare and simply gestured her to get away from him by pointing his right hand index finger towards the door and turned away from her.

“What do you mean I have no right?? I am your wife Hunter and I love you...” Aria’s tone dropped down a little as she could no longer stop the tears pooling in her pretty doe eyes.

“LOVE...? Wow! What an irony!” Hunter mocked turning towards her. Aria wasn't a fool. She could easily sense the anger and sarcasm lacing in his tone and his looks.

“IRONY? Do you think that I fake my feelings for you?” Aria managed to ask in a slow and shocked tone.

“I don’t have to think...” Hunter hissed nonchalantly which left a huge impact on her aching heart.

“So, you do believe that I fake my feelings for you? Isn't it?”

Aria felt miserable. She was unable to speak and was deeply hurt.

The man who was supposed to be with her till 'death do us apart' phase, the man who was supposed to trust her with his life was now being so distant and cruel towards her. She knew she didn't deserve this behaviour at all!

“Stop it Aria. Just stop your fake tears. I just can’t take it anymore. I can’t believe the way you kept so many affairs even after being married to me. I can’t believe how you simply threw away our marriage and my love for you. I hate myself for even falling for you. I just hate myself so much.” He said in a disgusted tone with a tint of hurt lacing when he mentioned the words ‘marriage’ and ‘love’. Tears were pooling in his eyes but he knew he had to control them. He composed himself thinking he cannot be weak in front of this woman.

“WHAT...??? What are you saying? I... I don’t know anything about it. I have never betrayed you. Please believe me.” She was shocked by hearing his accusation.

How could he think that she had someone else in her heart other than him? Those tears finally found crossed the barriers of her pretty eyelids and streamed down her cheeks.

“Why honey? Aren’t you able to believe how come, I came to know about your dark past or the dark and dirty present? Huh?” He hissed gritting his teeth and fire was oozing out of his eyes while anger was lacing his tone. He still could not believe how she could manage those fake tears or how she could even put up her act of being innocent. It irked him to the core.

“No Hunter! You are wrong. I didn’t do anything. I can never think of anyone else other than you.” She tried to explain with new set of hot tears gushing out of her eyes. Her lips were wobbling intensely.

“Wow woman! What a smart actress.” He said bowing in front of her sarcastically which made her feel more pathetic. She felt so humiliated.

“You know what? You should be in Hollywood. I am sure you will be paid high; EXTREEMELYYY HIGH! You gold-digger!” Hunter’s sarcasm had no limit which hurt her more than ever.

“Stop it...” She tried in a meek tone but who was she kidding? This man had no intentions to stop.

“Why should I darling? When you are not ashamed of doing such things then why should I be ashamed of talking about your deeds?” He asked in the same mocking tone while crossing his arms across his chest.

And now, she could no longer take it. Someone was raising fingers at her self-respect and character. No, she will not sit quiet and listen to everything like a doll.

“HUNTER...” She shouted to stop him from saying anything more which might make her loose her temper.

“DON’T SHOUT!!!” He snapped back pointing his index finger at her as a warning.

“You know, I just feel pathetic being associated with a ‘characterless’ woman like you Aria.” He said running his hands through his hair in frustration.

She could hear the hurt and helplessness of being betrayed in his voice. However, she knew that she had not betrayed him but he was not ready to listen to her.

“If... If it was in my hands I would have saved myself from this ‘Unfortunate Wedding’. I would have saved myself from falling in love with you. I would have saved myself from a gold-digging witch like you. Hell, which is what I will do now. I Hate You Aria Ferguson. I Hate You! I now understand why your parents left you. You gold-digging W***E!” He poured out all his frustration in one go that he crossed the line terribly and she lost it.

Flinching for a second hearing his cruel words, she just busted.

“ENOUGH HUNTER! You can’t keep accusing me of things which I haven’t even done.” She yelled on top of her voice trying to calm her racing heart.

Even though she hated the fact that her husband was accusing her, she had to tell him the truth. It was his right and so she tried to say in a calm tone “Hunter, I am... I am...” but was interrupted by him.

“You are pregnant and you are coming from the clinic.” He stated in an emotionless tone leaving her completely surprised.

She was stunned wondering how he knew about it already. Maybe the doctor had mentioned it to him? Maybe!

“Those are the Sonography Reports. And you are what nearly 5 weeks along. Isn’t it?” He mentioned looking right into her eyes deeply and she could feel a tug in her heart. After all he cared for his child, didn’t he?

“How do you know?” She couldn’t help herself from asking him but all she got in return was a nasty cold smirk followed by a nonchalant answer.

“Oh! Don’t Worry. I know everything Aria. It is you who doesn’t know anything.” He said crossing his arm across his chest.

“What do you mean?” She could sense danger but that was not all. She was in for a heart wrenching shock of her life.

She had definitely sensed the danger in his words but she didn't expect the next set of words from him that not only shook her but also wrecked her soul forever.

“I meant...

I know you are pregnant but you don’t even know who the father of this b*****d is!!”

One wrong word about her child and no mother can stop herself! Never! After all, that's what is mother's love. Isn't it?

Her hand flew automatically towards him. Her small right palm rested on his left cheek with undeniable force. He was completely shocked as he did not expect her to react in this manner. She was shocked too but when compared to how hurt she was and knowing who was the reason behind it; she knew that her shock could take the back seat now. Right now her baby meant everything to her.

He stood there holding his cheek and kept looking at her. She kept standing in front of him like a statue. Everything was frozen in that room. Every little thing was still. Both of them were standing like some statues as if there was no more life left in them. He didn’t move away from her and she could not move away from him.

Everything seemed to be at standstill except for her painful tears which flowed from her eyes and made their way to her neck with no specific path. The shock on his face was now crowded by his anger. They both were frozen expect for their gazes that kept shifting from one eye to another eye.
