A Hole In The Heart - Encore

"What the hell is this Mrityunjay? What have you done with me?" thundered Shivani, glaring at his reflection. She turned around to face him, her eyes wild with anger. He stood rock still, looking at her with an unreadable expression.

"We are married now," he stated. "I married you with your sister's permission," he told her the simple truth.

Shivani's eyes glowered at him, the tears streaming down her eyes. "You decided to marry me, with my sister's permission, the day my father was brutally murdered?" she questioned him, panting hard. "What about my permission? Was it not necessary? Didn’t you need to know if I even wanted to see your face or not? What was the tearing urgency to marry me LIKE THIS?" she screamed, the sobs erupting out of her.

Her anguish was tearing away the wall of resolve he had built around himself. "Shi..." he tried to hold her.
