Chapter - 13
His Symphony
"You are my therapy."
His words reverberate in my mind as I gaze up at the stars shimmering in the dark sky. I don't know what to decipher from his words but I do know that he won't let me go now that I am here.
It worries me but what worries me more is the numbness that engulfs my mind. I am not sacred. I have been kidnapped by a man who is probably, no definitely the mafia and he has kept me locked up in an unknown mansion yet I am not sacred.
There has to be something wrong with my mind because no sane human would be standing by the window of his kidnapper's mansion staring up at the stars.
I am not in my right senses.
I don't know why I am reacting like this. There is this gut feeling in me that is telling me that no matter what happens Lorenzo will not hurt me, not even a bit. I know it's not the wisest of the thoughts and I may be stuck by Stockholm syndrome even before spending enough time to let that syndrome develop. But it is what it is.
What is worse about my condition is that I actually feel guilty about accidentally cutting him.
All these thoughts keep plaguing my mind as I sigh and lean by the window frame. The stars look beautiful, it's comforting it reminds of sleeping in my mum's lap as she runs her hand through my hair and sings me my favourite lullaby.
Unknowingly I start to hum the tune of the lullaby and as I reminiscence more about her. I decide to sing myself the lullaby.
Lori lori lori
Lullaby, lullaby, lullaby
Lori lori lori
Lullaby, lullaby, lullaby
Lori lori lori
Lullaby, lullaby, lullaby
Lori lori lori
Lullaby, lullaby, lullaby
Chandaniya chup jaana re
Hey moonlight, please go and hide
Chhan bhar ko luk jaana re
Please hide for sometime
Nindiya aankhon mein aaye
Sleep is coming in the eyes
Bitiya meri so jaaye
Let my daughter sleep
Nindiya aankhon mein aaye
Sleep is coming in the eyes
Bitiya meri so jaaye
Let my daughter sleep
Leke godh mein sulaaon
I'll put her to sleep in my lap
Gaaon raat bhar sunaaon
I'll sing all night long
Main lori lori
Lullaby, lullaby
Ho main lori lori
Lullaby, lullaby
Gardhaniyan chhun chhun baje
Her necklace is chiming
Palkan mein sapna saje
There are dreams adorned in her eyes
Dheeme dheeme, haule haule
Slowly and steadily
Pavan basanti dole
The wind is blowing
Dheeme dheeme, haule haule
Slowly and steadily
Pavan basanti dole
The wind is blowing
Leke godh mein sulaaon
I'll put her to sleep in my lap
Gaaon raat bhar sunaaon
I'll sing all night long
Main lori lori
Lullaby, lullaby
Ho main lori lori
Lullaby, lullaby
The sound of something hitting the floor makes me stop. I turn around to see lorenzo holding a vase. He looks up at me, his face flustered like I have caught him while stealing. He puts the vase back on the table and says
"I was just passing by and and I stopped, umm yes stopped to check on you."
He looks like a deer caught in headlights, it's so cute. I try to stifle my laugh.
I sternly tell him
"It doesn't look like that."
He looks everywhere but me and bites his lower lip. I burst out laughing.
He looks up at me surprised to see me giggling.
"You look so afraid."
I say while laughing
He takes a deep breath.
"So you were just making fun of me right."
I don't say anything and just keep laughing.
He sighs and move towards me
"You know I don't appreciate not being answered."
He says he voice having that sexy dark husk which made me stop my laughing session.
I look up at him and notice that he has a suit on. The first few buttons of his white shirt are undone showing his chest, his hair is a bit messy and he have his sleeves rolled up. He looks really handsome.
"It's rude to stare they say but I don't really find anything rude with you staring me, infact I seem to enjoy it."
Hearing his words I cast my eyes away from him.
"Now don't look away from me. I hate not being able to gape at your beautiful eyes."
I look at his eyes. Why is he so good with his words. It's unfair.
His tuck his hands into the pockets of his pants and says
"Darling it's not me who should be afraid, rather you are the one who should worried about the things that I intend to do to you."
He says with his eyes flickering towards my lips.
I feel butterflies erupt in my stomach
"What's amusing is that , the thing I see swirling in your eyes is not fear sweetheart, rather something much more carnal."
He says and leans in, our faces so close that I could feel his warm breath.
I look upto see his eyes settled on my lips.
He leans in a bit more, I close my eyes not knowing what to do.
A moment later I feel his lips on my forehead as he gently lays a kiss and moves back.
I open my eyes to see a small smile on his lips.
"Goodnight amore"
(Goodnight love)
He says and makes his way out of the room.
I am left there standing speechless and flustered.
I touch my forehead where he kissed. I can still feel his warm lips. I bite my lip to stop the smile forming on my lips.
I think I have officially lost it. I am so infatuated by a man that I choose to ignore that he is a dangerous mafia and has kidnapped me.
Yep I am crazy.
