Chapter 30 - Taken for granted

"What marriage?" Ruhan frowned. "When did I ever agree to marry you?"

As soon as he dropped the bomb, Samia's heart, that had just calmed down..became chaotic again.

She looked at Ruhan with surprise and spoke with disbelief, "What...what do you mean by this? We have already had husband and wife relationship...we..." thinking about their shameful deeds, Samia couldn't help but blush.

It wasn't that she didn't feel guilty sneaking around with Ruhan like this. Her parents treated her really well and trusted her.

But she couldn't control the little devil in her. The first time with him was an accident. She went on study tour to Cox's Bazar.

Surprisingly, Ruhan followed her. Both of them spent their time on the beach until midnight.

Ruhan stayed in the same hotel as her. Both of them returned together. One thing led to another and she ended up making the biggest mistake of her life. She really cried for a long time in her room and really regretted. However, Ruhan comforted her patiently and looked as if he was hurt by her reaction. After crying for a whole day she calmed down.

She comforted herself saying that she would marry Ruhan one day. Although what they did was wrong but everything would be fine if Ruhan took responsibility.

However, the experience opened a new realm for her. After the 1st time, there was 2nd, 3rd, 4th time..and so on.

They met every other day for the last few months until Ruhan suddenly began to ignore her.

"Ruhan" she choked as she tried to control her tears, "Don't mess around like this ok? Just think about the future we planned together? You promised me that you would stay with me forever. You would leave footsteps in every continent, visit every attractive place with me...you promised me we would be happy forever. "

Ruhan looked puzzled, "And what does that have to do with marriage? "

He then put his arm around her waist..if anyone looked at them they would feel that it was an intimate gesture. But only Samia knew how much pressure Ruhan had put. She couldn't even breathe. But she didn't dare to scream in pain.

"Listen darling, wife is not someone we have fun with and take around to travel. There duty is to remain at home and take care of her family and children.

Just imagine that a wife like your home. Would you feel fun if you are confined to home all day long? No! One has to go out, travel and explore the outer world! This is where you come in my darling! My tourist spot! My fun world." Ruhan kissed her hairs affectionately as he threw remarks that were as sharp as knives at Samia.

His cruel remark pierced through her heart and ran chill through her spine. Suddenly she became crystal clear about his motive!!!

He never intended to marry her in the first place!!! At most..he wanted to keep her as his....mistress.

She was never his destination... She was more like a passerby in his life who he had kept merely for fun!

She had really been a fool to trust him.

Her mother always said that men can not be trusted...especially the promises they made in their bed.

She always said that no one would value a thing that is obtained easily. So she repeatedly cautioned Samia against lowering herself for a man.

But what did she do? She acted like a lovestruck fool in front of Ruhan and followed him like a puppy.

She took diligent care of him..even sometimes cook for him whenever he workers worked overtime at office.

She never refused his request to spend time with her. No matter how busy sje was, she never ignored his messages and calls. She would go out of her ways to help him whenever she could.

She thought she was doing these for love. She never thought that she was slowly losing her value and Ruhan had already started to take her for granted.

Sure enough, the amount of attention and gifts she received from Ruhan decreased significantly after she started to love him and treat him wholeheartedly.

She had been taken for granted by him for a long time.

And now that he had gotten bored...he started to reveal his true self in front of her. He was now too impatient to even pretend.

Ruhan spat out one venomous sentence after another with a gentle smile on his face while Samia just stood there like a wood...lifeless...hopeless...

From that moment...she finally realized that her life was ruined and that too...by her own hands.
