Chapter 5 5.

He yanked her to himself by grasping her arms and uttered, glaring at her. "I haven't kidnapped your parents, do u get that?" Petra widened her eyes in shock after knowing this. If he hadn't kidnapped her parents, then howd he get that video? She was utterly baffled.

"Then what was that video? "She asked instantly.

"It was an edited video so that I could blackmail you, to marry me," Jamal told her, pulling her more closer to himself, there was anger in his dark black eyes and she was looking at him incredulously.

"You're a monster, I'll never accept you as my husband," Petra stormed at him and struggled to come out of his tight grip. She was trying to be strong.

Jamal chuckled devilishly. "Yes, I am a monster, if you don't accept me as your husband, then you know that I have my own ways." He trailed down the tip of his index finger from her shoulder to her hand and she looked at him, having fear in her eyes.

"Please, let me go, why are you doing this with me?" She pleaded, trying to push him away with her tiny hands.

"Baby, how many time you will ask the same question, you are mine and therefore you are here with me and no one in this world can separate you from me." He clasped her face and stated, caressing her cheeks with his thumbs and gazing in her eyes intensely. Now his eyes were filled with love only.

Petra was bewildered with his bipolar behaviour, sometimes he shouted and sometimes he behaved like he is the sweetest person. One question always came in her mind, "who is he?"

"Now, let me get fresh and then we will takenner," he said sweetly and went to the bathroom after placing a soft kiss on her chubby Cheek. Petra was utterly confused with his behaviour.

Sara stepped into the room and saw Petra sitting on the sofa, talking to herself. A bright smile touched her lips because Petra's expression was too cute.

"Hey, sweeties, what's up?" Sara sat beside her. Petra's eyes glinted with excitement as she saw her.

"Didu, I am so happy," she squealed with joy and hugging Sara tightly. Sara smiled cheerfully and hugged her back. She was also happy to see her happy but confused too with her sudden happiness.

"Didu, Jamal hasn't kidnapped my parents, they are fine. I was so worried about them." She merrily told everything. Sara sighed with relief after knowing that his brother hadn't kidnapped anyone.

Petra glanced at the bathroom to check Jamal and then she moved close to Sara's ear. She whispered, "now I will run from here anddu, it's a secret, don't tell this to the monster."

Sara smiled on her cuteness and also felt bad for her because Petra was thinking that it was very easy for her to run away from here, but the reality was that it was impossible because she knew her brother, he would never let this happen.

"Didu, would you help me?" She asked cutely, having hope in her bewitching eyes, Sara became speechless as shedn't want to break her heart by telling her that what she wanted, it was impossible.

Before Sara could speak something, they saw Jamal coming out of the bathroom. He was in grey lower with a casual t-shirt. He glanced at them sternly and marched out of the room without saying anything.

"Didu, why he is like this, sometimes so sweet and sometimes an angry monster." As Petra shout the last line making an angry face, Sara laughed loudly seeing her adorable expression.

"Didu, why are you laughing? I really wanna know, I'm scared of him." She murmured innocently, moving her down in sadness and played with her fingers.

"Aww, Petra, don't worry. I am assuring you, he won't harm you. Actually Petra, he is short-tempered, if someone doesn't listen to him in once, he becomes angry." Sara tried to make her understand

"Don't you get scared of him, kya aapko dar nhi lagta hai,du?" she asked instantly.

"Hmm, sometimes, he is very strict, he wants everything to be perfect and according to him. You know, Petra,John has taken care of me and Caleb as like our mother and father after mom and dad left us, he is my superman, sometimes he shouts on me, but it's okay as he also loves me a lot, whatever he does, he does for our happiness." Sara shared about her feeling which she had for her brother and Petra lost in her thought after listening Sara's word. Her words made Petra more confused.

"If he's a nice person, then why he is doing this me and giving pain to me?" She wondered, baffled.

"Sweetie, don't think too much, now come let's havenner," As Sara uttered, Petra came out of her thoughts and nodded her head positively, getting up.

"John, where is Caleb?" Sara asked Jamal when they were havingnner at thening area. Petra was sitting in the middle of Jamal and Sara. She was just rolling the spoon, wasn't eating anything. She was just wondering about Jamal's behaviour.

"He has gone to Pune for a project, he will come back within a few days." Petra narrowed her brows bemusedly because shedn't know about Caleb.

"Didu, how is Caleb?" Petra asked in the low voice after coming close to Sara's ear.

"He is our brother." As Sara answered her, she made O mouth and then her eyes fall on Jamal who was glaring at them.

"Sara, you know that I hate it when somebody talks while eating," Jamal said sternly, glaring at Sara, indirectly telling this Petra.

Sara immediately apologised, "I'm sorry,John."

"Iss monster ko har bat par gussa ata hai, lagta hai roj rat ko karele kha kar sota hai, tJeff itna khadhus hai. (This monster gets angry on everything. I wonder, he sleeps every night after eating Karele, that's why he's so rude and arrogant.) Oh god, please, help me and give me the strength to run from here." Petra murmured to herself, staring at Jamal.

"Petra, why are you not eating?" As Jamal asked, she came on the earth back. She curled her lips and rolled her eyes. Jamal's eyes glinted with fury because of her attitude, and also shedn't reply to him.

"Petra, how many times, I have to explain, listen to my word in once." As Jamal stormed at her, she flinched and looked at him, having fear in her eyes.

"No, Petra, be strong. You have to fight back." She said this to herself in her mind.

She growled at him after standing up, "no, I don't want to listen any of your words, I will not eat, I will not do anything, I don't want to live with a monster like you." She threw the bowl on the floor in anger and rushed to the room before Jamal could stop her.

"Petra..." Jamal shouted after getting up. He was about to go behind her but stopped as Sara held his hand.

"John, what are you doing? "As Sara asked and Jamal looked at her confusingly.

"What?"

"Do you really think that if you shout on her like this, and she will love you? No, never, by doing this, you are only increasing her hatred toward you and you are frightening her. Maybe day because of fear she will accept you as her husband, but she will never accept you as her husband from her heart if you behave like this with her." Sara explained to her elder brother like she was his elder sister because she found him wrong this time.

"John, she is like a small kid who needs love, if you love her then I want to advise you to handle her with care and love. Be kind to her. Try to control your anger or else you will lose her forever, I really don't want you to regret later." Sara stated in serious tone after leaving his hand. He was just staring at her silently. It seemed like he was understanding her words.

He left from there silently. He stepped into the room and saw her sleeping on the bed covering her face also. He sat on the bed and Sara's words were, again and again, echoing in his ears. Then he went to the balcony after calling someone and placing the phone over his ear.

"You Monster, I will never listen to you, I will run from here, Mumma papa will be waiting for me, I am missing them a lot." She whispered to herself after peeking out of the blanket. She was glaring at Jamal angrily. He was standing in the balcony and talking to someone on phone.

What do you think, will Jamal take his sister's advice?
