Looking down in sadness as she has no answer to it. She can't help it as tear rolled down her soft rosy cheeks.
He didn't know what to say, as his lashes were now moist with unshed tears. He was feeling guilty for ruining that soul, so he softly said," divorce him".
Sapphire frowned : what?
Michael : divorce my son and live a happy life, my dear. My heartless son doesn't deserve you. I was wrong, I thought he will change himself, but he won't. I can't see you suffering because of him, so divorce him.
Sapphire : it is too late now, papa, he will never give me a divorce.
Michael : he will. And I will make sure of it that he give you a divorce. I have married you both, so I will be the one to separate you guys. You are my daughter, I won't let you suffer because of my monster son. He deserves a wife like Natasha who can leave him for parlor.
Sapphire : you… You know about her papa…
Michael : yes child everyone is talking about it that how she denied you for any help when you were knocking her room door.
Sapphire eyes filled with tear which was reflecting her pain watching this old man crying. She hated his tears," papa, please calm down, you know Na rowan loves you a lot. He was so tensed for your papa. When you were in OT, he was worried so much.
Michael chuckled and said” while are you defending him dear. Why are you hiding his cruel acts?
Sapphire : please papa eat before sleep, it will affect your health.
Michael : now I will make sure he divorces you. I will…
Sapphire smiled at the old and positive version of rowan, her heartless husband…
______________
At night, 2am, rowan came back from office and Michael called him…
Michael : rowan?
ROWAN : yes, dad.
Michael : in my room.
Rowan handed his coat to his manager and went towards his father's room," You are not asleep, you need rest, dad.”
Michael : even sapphire is awake and waiting for you. She is waiting to serve you dinner even after doing hard work all day. Even she needs rest.
Rowan : I am her husband, it is her duty. You don't need to worry about, sleep, dad.
Michael : she is your wife , not slave.
Rowan : I only consider her my slave dad, nothing else. Just take some rest and let me ve, even I am tired.
Michael roared : SHE IS NOT YOUR SLUT AND YOU CAN'T BEAT THAT YOUNG GIRL.
ROWAN : dad, you are not in the state to talk about all this. Go to sleep for god’s sake.
Just then, sapphire entered the room after hearing shouting. All day went by without her eating anything, so she spoke tiredly, "What happened?”.
Michael : look, she is so tired, she didn't eat anything from morning. She has fingerprints on her cheek as well as her neck. What have you done to her? She will be ill if she didn't eat well.
Rowan frowned : why is she hungry??
Michael : yes, hungry. As you didn't leave anything for her in your plate after breakfast.
Rowan : so what? She is married to me, so I will decide everything. Don't interrupt dad, and I believe sapphire has no problem in this, right?
Sapphire : ye… Yes, pa…papa.
Michael looked at her in disbelief and said, "don't be afraid, just confessed all his doing.
Rowan : dad it's between me and her with whom I am married. Don't come in between. I will behave with her the way I want, don't interfere dad, sleep tight.
Michael : forgive me, child. Just divorce her and let her be.
Sapphire didn't know what to say and not, so she kept quiet.
Rowan : sleep dad, I am too tired to argue about it.
Saying so he left his father room, while moving towards their room he ordered her “in room now”.
When they entered their room, she quickly said, “I didn't say anything, rowan.
He royally ignored her blabbering and shouted” serve dinner, I am having a headache.”
Wiping her tears away, she ran towards the kitchen to reheat the food…
Entering the room with a food trolley, she serves him dinner and stood in one side. She was praying to god that at least he should leave some in a plate for her to eat, but luck was not on her side.
After finishing his dinner, he again asked her to serve when she did… He took a single bite and left the remaining for her…
She was going to take the plate when her leg got slipped and she took support of rowan shoulder. He inhaled her smell and was amazed that how her smell is so fresh and flowery…
Rowan : which brand??
Talking about the perfume they forgot about food, but when she was going to collect the dishes, he looks at her stomach which is so flat and remembered her being hungry from morning.
ROWAN : who gave you permission to collect the dishes??
Sapphire : what?
ROWAN : I am still hungry, so serve me more. Taking little from the food, he pushes the remaining one to hers and asked her to eat it.
She was happy for that little food because she was hungry from the morning. Without saying much, she took the food and move out of the room. She was so much hungry that without reaching kitchen she sat on the stairs and eat her food quickly with a smiling face. Someone was looking at her smiley face intensely, but without saying anything, he moved towards his room.
Rowan entered his room and laid down on the bed, muttering angrily," I don't care about her. Damn her.”
