My Drug

YUVI'S POV:

She is asking me something for the first time after our wedding and how can I deny it?

"You are asking me something for the first time. How will I deny it? I don't have the heart to deny it. I will try my level best to keep my promise? Now tell me what promise do you want from me?" I said.

"Yuvi! I'm obsessed! Obsessed with my profession. I love my profession. IT'S MY DRUG TO OBTAIN CALM MIND. I can't live without it. Will you ever compel me to resign from my job? And my life is not at all important to me than my profession and you. Moreover, YOU AND MY PROFESSION ARE MY LIFE" She said looking at the ceiling.

I knew she admired her profession but I didn't know that she loves it to such an extent!

I can see the anxiety which lies in her eyes. She is scared that I will tell her not to go to work.

When she loves something to such an extent, then why am I going to restrict her.

If she was not hooked up with me, she would have got a better one who would have accepted her as she is.

Because of me and only for me, she lost her opportunity to choose just because of me, so I should give at least this promise to her.

She looked at me sadly expecting a positive response from me. To assure her, I slightly dragged her more closer to me and pecked her forehead.

And the shocking matter was she leaned more closer to me and placed her head on my chest.

Kilowatts of current passed through my body. She is reacting like she is dependent on me. Am I overthinking?

Yeah! Absolutely. My inner self tried mocking me.

Whatever! Did I call you? Then why the hell are you disturbing me? Go away!

I shooed them.

Whatever! Now I wanna answer her.

I started,

"Oh! Girl where is the bold fierce PARI? See here, what do I call you? I asked her.

"ANGEL!" She said.

"And I mean that ANGEL. You are my angel! And when I know something is so much important to you and then they are important to me also. So I PROMISE YOU THAT I WILL NEVER EVER COMPEL YOU TO RESIGN YOUR JOB AND I WILL KEEP MY PROMISE VALID TILL MY LAST BREATH" I promised her.

She hugged me more and asked another question.

"And what if uncle and aunt ask to..'

She stammered.

"We will see when it happens but remember one thing when I was your first priority and you married me. Then the same goes for me you are my first priority. YOU ARE MY FAMILY, AND THEY ARE OUR FAMILY! So don't get worried, I'll always be there with you and for you" I said and kissed on top of her head.

"Ok! Now tell me about your Commissioner sir?" I asked.

She was a little bit hesitant but as I insisted. She started,

" Commissioner sir's name is Amit Singh and his wife's name is Sujatha. Their marriage was a love marriage sir is a north Indian whereas mam was a south Indian.

She was also an I.P.S officer; she was an ACP(Assistant Commissioner of Police).

Their life was good till her Mother in law started living with them after her father in law's death.

They lived in Srinagar. Her MIL (Mother in law) was a little orthodox, so she didn't like mam's job.

Then she got pregnant. Everything was good till the end of her maternity leave.

When she again joined the duty sir went to Bangalore for a case. There the problem started, her MIL started pressurizing her to resign she tried for three months but her MIL was stubborn in her decision.

She didn't inform any of these things to sir as she thought he would take the stress.

And then she resigned one day and just informed sir when he confronted her she just told him that she needs to take care of their daughter Niharika.

And after three months he got a ca..call (stammering) that she committed suicide.

When he went there he saw his wife's lifeless body and 2½ yrs daughter crying for her mother.

None was aware of the reason for her suicide. His mother said many things ill about her but he did not believe it so he started investigating.

One day when he accidentally found her diary, he was devastated after reading that.

She committed suicide due to depression.

She was affected psychologically and had taken treatment from a psychiatrist in a different name. She loved her job.

And when he came to know the reason he couldn't believe it. All was only because of his mother.

He never wanted his wife to resign from her job. In Fact, he was proud of his wife.

After that, without telling his mother he came to Bangalore with his daughter.

He sends some amount of money every month and even appointed a maid for her but after that day he never wanted to see his mother.

Years passed but he didn't at all went to see her. I worked with him and became close to him like a daughter.

We are a team and so along with us, four more officers are there. We've been transferred together here as a team.

After my insistence, Niharika started visiting her grandmother as she realized her mistake but sir is not willing to.

He loves his mother but he wasn't able to digest that the love of his life died because of her.

As she realized her mistake she should be forgiven, right?! That's why I am asking him to visit her once but he is not" she said with tear-filled eyes.

"Don't worry! I will never ever leave you in such a situation" I said confidently.

"Thank you so much! You are so understanding. I was hesitant because it will be like emotional blackmail if I say this and get promised" she said.

"It's okay! No need to thank me, I understand I'll be supporting you always and I'll never be a weakness for you" I said. 

( He didn't know he will be the weakness of her very soon)

She pinched my cheeks and kissed me there. She muttered a GOOD NIGHT and slept peacefully leaving me with utter shock. Now I will not gonna get sleep.

Ugh! God, I'm smiling constantly and blushing?!

It should be her who should have blushed but see here everything is in reverse.

She is sleeping peacefully hugging me whereas I am! Urghhhh sleep yuvi sleep.

soon the peaceful silence lulled me into a deep sleep.
