Chapter 49

OMKAR

✨

Life is an unexpected journey. At times you meet people and they become the source of your living. But when we loose someone that precious in our life it all seems so empty.

And that emptiness haunts. I wiped by tears as I felt Rudra's arm around my shoulder.

'Be strong Anna...We all loved her...but then life has to move on' he said and I nodded. We had just flown away her last remains at the Uppinangady Triveni Sangam (three rivers meet) and were coming back home. It has been the toughest for all of us but I knew I had to be strong. It's not easy going back to normal as this happened all of a sudden but then what's life it is was all predictable right???

After reaching home we were all asked to eat food but somehow our hunger had died completely.

'Anna just a few morsels please' Pattu said and although I didn't want to eat but then I didn't want to argue with her. She was going to be 5 months pregnant soon and no one wanted to upset her. The incident also had a painful impact on her. She was also hiding her tears. We all sat down and ate a few morsels and finally retired to our rooms while on the way Dad stopped me and said he wanted to talk to me. I knew he would take out this topic again so this time I jumped in and said first things first.

'Dad I already told you...It's a No!!!'

'But Om even she wanted you to marry...it's like it was her last wish charda (child).' dad said holding my hands and I had tears in my eyes.

'Look Om..If it's tough for you it's tough for us too...but life doesn't stop! And the Wale (mourning) has also got over. Fine let it not be a huge affair atleast a small wedding? Just the family members???' Dad asked and I kept looking at him. He shook my shoulders and said...

'She wanted this Om... please!!!' and I gave him a broken smile and slowly walked upto my room.

I stood infront of the dressing table. I removed my watch and looked at myself in the mirror. So much changed in last few weeks. Why is destiny so cruel at times? It was still painful to carry her body on my shoulders and today we had even flown away her last remains...

'Om....I will come back to you...you know how much I love you...I can't stay away from you can I??? For my sake... please marry again...I will come back to you as your daughter!!!'

Her words kept ringing in my ears and I rubbed my face and I closed my eyes while suddenly I felt two hands wrap around my stomach and suddenly everything felt so calm. So normal.

'You know you'll have me always with you na baby' and I turned around to hug her. But I couldn't.

I sat down and kept crying nonstop like a baby.

While slowly I felt someone caressing my face and wipe my tears...and before I could think much I felt her lips against mine. I was sleepless for last few nights, I didn't know if I was hallucinating or what but this felt so calm and soothing.

Her fragrance, her kisses, her being closer to me was like my redemption from pain and a soothing sensation in my heart.

I slowly put my head on her right leg and she slowly massaged my head and kissed my hair.

'I will miss her Mukta...why does God have to do this. We were so happy just three weeks back and then suddenly she slipped and fell from the staircase and hurt her head. Two weeks she went through pain and suffering. I knew she was old, I was prepared for this someday but not like this...I can't think that Bapama (grandmother) left us' I said and burst out crying badly and she kept kissing me.

It was tough for her to hug me more because of that wheel chair as her left leg still had the cast on. It would be removed tomorrow but we were still supposed to be careful with her. Her head injuries were completely healed and the portion where they had to chop of her hair for the surgery had also slowly started getting better. However I missed her long hair now. We had the same length of hair now.

My brave girl survived that nightmare like a warrior. Three weeks back we had announced it officially that we would get married after all my Mukta had proposed to me infront of the entire hospital staff, doctors the minute she opened her eyes and I shamelessly kissed her infront of everyone without caring about the world. She was back to me safe and sound was all that we needed but then the immediate next day Bapama slipped off the staircase and hurt her head. She had a major injury.

Her age being the factor, surgery was not the option. She slowly began speaking mixed up things. She was having memory issues but strangely she only kept saying one thing repeatedly that she wants to come back to me as my daughter. She wanted to see me marry Mukta. Those were also her last words before she slipped into coma. And then within 24 hours we lost her. It's like the last one month was a series of horrors. Only good thing that happened in the last one month was we took back our divorce case. Yes!!! We didn't get divorced however our family is desperate to get us married with all GSB rituals. However after Bapama's death neither I nor Mukta wanted a lavish affair specially with that cast on her leg.

✨

'Mukta careful' I said while she was dancing along with Pattu while still having Mehndi on their hands. We were up for a double celebration today. Mukta's leg is completely healed and we are having a small wedding ceremony today post which Mukta and I would be immediately leaving to Phulvaspura for the inaugural ceremony of 'Joishis - The Ayurveda Plant' in Phulvaspura. My parents also wanted to join but they chose to stay back due to Pattu being in her second trimester.

Slowly she and Pattu came to me and were showing their Mehndi to me.

'Anna tell who's Mehndi is prettiest!!!' Pattu said and my eyes went to both the ladies who were blinking looking at me when I said...

'Well... honestly I like mom's better' saying I went and hugged my mom while her one hand had Mehndi and with other she pulled my ears for playing smart.

There was a small crowd of 50 people, just close relatives and friends. Some were really happy for us while others kept taunting about Mukta and I being from different cultures. But we knew how to shut these gossip columns when I chose to give my speech for Mukta in broken Marathi and my babygirl to my ultimate surpise gave her speech in perfect Konkani. I really wanted to kiss the hell out of her but then my family had practically disowned me once they found Mukta. It's like I felt I was the outsider right now.

She was mom's favorite daughter, Pattu and Sanskriti's favorite sister, Rudra and Shivansh loved her because finally they had a sister in law who could cook a storm in the kitchen and my dad started watching Pokemon along with Doraemon. So yeah!!! I was discarded.

But then I craved for her proximity however my family made me stay on different floors. One night I managed to sneak into her room only to kiss her as I was craving for her proximity but to my ultimate surpise Pattu stood there with her camera trying to shoot us both and then she practically blackmailed me every other day with that video to bribe her of the Panipuri, or her favorite biryani, or her donuts. But we both were still thankful she had distanced herself from the kitchen because of my mom's strict rules. We all wanted her and the baby safe knowing her kitchen disasters.

✨

She bent closer and I tied the red beaded mangalsutra on to her neck while her eyes filled with tears. I wiped her cheeks and she giggled this time. I didn't care if my family members or close relatives were watching I bent towards her and kissed the crown of her hair. Today yet another time my Mukta became Mrs Mukta Omkar Nayak officially no longer the Demon's Secret Wife. She was now my legally officially wedded wife. No more secrets you see!!!

After the wedding rituals we had sat down to have our meal when Pattu and Rudra kept forcing us to share a laddoo. It was supposed to be considered the most classic poses of all times but Mukta was shying away from it.

'Please no...it's embarassing!!!' she kept telling again and again while Rudra and Shivansh kept teasing me and calling me a 'Bhijuda' which means a wimp. And I don't know what entered me that very minute.

I simply cupped Mukta's cheeks and said...

'Ditch the laddoo..I love my sweet dish better' and next minute crashed onto her lips infront of the entire wedding crowd who kept hooting for us loudly. Her eyes had gone wide open but I was smiling through the kiss. But I quickly pulled out only to hear a 'ooooooo' from the crowd. She looked flushed. I slowly whispered in her ears...

'Just with that small little kiss you are so damn shy babygirl... what will you do when I devour you all night!' and her eyes practically grew as big as a tennis ball while I kept smirking and she pinched my thigh under the table.

✨

After bribing Pattu and Sanskriti a huge amount I finally made my way into my room. Correction!!! Our room.

Instantly my eyes fell on the figure who stood near the window. In the red colored saree, traditional GSB jewellery and floral bun she looked breathtakingly beautiful. She was looking at the sky. Her beautiful brownish black eyes shined a little more and that's when I noticed they were moist. Her eyes were searching something in the sky. I walked closer to her and slowly snaked my arms around her waist. I could feel her body tensed at the sudden contact of mine. I slowly cupped her face and turned her around towards me and asked her softly...

'Missing Baba?' and she smiled and nodded. I slowly pulled her into a tight hug and she rested her head against my stomach.

'He will be proud of you Mukta! Don't hurt him with your tears. And please don't hurt me too. I hate to see those pearls shedding from your eyes. They are precious' I said and she smiled.

'I don't know Om... sometimes everything seems to be like a dream. It's like something will happen and this dream would break. I....I don't want this dream to break ever Om...if this is a dream then I don't ever want to get up from this beautiful sleep!!!' she said while still clutching my kurta and I kissed her forehead and said...

'Its our reality Mukta. It's not a dream and this is our forever after. No more pains, no more fights, no more complaints above all no more secrets!!! You are mine and I am yours. Taken!!! And it's for the world to know' I said and a blush crept on her beautiful face. I was mesmerized by her beauty. When the moonlight fell on her face it shined a little more and I was aroused.

'Be mine Mukta...Its like my soul has awaited this for ages!!!' I tried to say in a soft tone yet my voice came out husky and she shivered at my tone. I noticed the goosebumps that had erupted all over her neckline and I couldn't stop myself. I bent and began showering feather lite kisses on her neckline and she moaned my name and I lost my senses. I slowly squeezed her waist and pulled her into a breath taking kiss which marked the union of our endless sleepless nights in each other's arms.

The moon, stars and the night observed our long awaited union. Our story which began with an accidental meet on the full moon night had finally found its new beginning towards a new journey towards the marital bliss.

Omkar and Mukta finally became OMukta tonight.

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Dearest Readers,

This is the last chapter of Demon's Secret Wife.

Thank you so much for being a part of Omkar and Mukta's beautiful journey. Your love for OMukta has left me speechless.

Every chapter I publish hits 1k + reads within a few hours and your pings and messages leave me spellbound.

I just wanted you to know I value each one of your comment, message and emotions.

I love you all and thank you for making this book such a huge success. It's still an ongoing book and yet would probably be hitting 150k within a day or two. I don't know what should I be saying, so all I can say is 'Thank you❤️✨'

Sooooooo

...

.

.

Mukta survived 🤭

And I'm glad I survived your threats and messages too ❤️❤️❤️

Won't lie, I had a thought for a brief moment if I must make OMukta consummate their wedding and then end it on a sad note but then I was threatened by anima_sola_6 my buddy who helped me with all the Marathi dialogues in this book who warned me of gifting me flying chappals all the way from Solapur to Mangalore🤭

And I love my loafers better 🤭 So yeah discarded the idea and then the messages I got on my previous chapter made it clear about how much you love OMukta. And like I always say I'm a reader's writer. 😉

Annnnnnnnd

I know you have been awaiting their consummation. And I'm sure you want to pull my hair for giving no details here. Well well well...

That's because this book isn't a mature book. And the passion Omkar and Mukta shared from day one deserve a justified union.

So...

Yes!!! You will get a detailed uncensored consummation scene but that will be as a One Shot which I will write soon.

Its named and found under my profile as

Demon's Secret Wife -

Demon's Archangel - OMukta Forever ❤️

However please note, I am not a mature content writer. I write decent content which will not make my readers uncomfortable. If you have read Destiny Tied us in a knot you would know. But I promise to write it as well as I can and stand up to your expectations in that one shot. It would be a mature one shot and hence would be age restricted. So kindly read it if you can handle it and if you are 18+. It would be out by next Tuesday or early. You can add it to your reading list right now so you get notified when it's updated.

For the rest of them this was the last chapter of OMukta. Next week this book will be marked complete along with the epilogue.

Thank you so much for all the love ❤️

With this OMukta will be bidding you a goodbye paving way for Fari and Alex to begin their journey.

Would you give a little place in your hearts for #Falex ❤️

Legally NOT yours!!!

Hitting the charts in Jan 2022 ❤️

Till then...

Keep reading Keep supporting ❤️

Love Love ❤️

Yours_Nidhi 💖
