บท 92: Don't give them the satisfaction (2)

Tanya's words almost echoed in the room. I goggled at her totally taken aback. Did she just said she KNOWS? What does she mean? Tanya was looking at me fiercely but quickly it melted away. Her face got mellow and her eyes sad. She pulled the side table near the bedside and gestured me to have tea. I don't know why but I followed her instruction like a kid and picked up the cup but didn't drink. I looked at her fixedly, as she picked the tea cup, took a few sips and then sighed heavily.

"The tea is very tasty and fragrant. You should have it" she said taking a seat opposite to me on the bed.

I looked at the tea which had a yellowish green tinge. The fragrance released by it was very fresh. I brought it to my lips and took a small sip. It really was delicious. I took few more sips, when I heard Tanya speak

"Feeling better?"

I looked at her. She was smiling brightly at me. I remembered Mr. Jonas's words, that she put a facade of fake smile and false cheerfulness to be acquainted to people but still maintain a distance. I couldn't help wondering if it was her way of saying to not ask?

She noticed me staring at her and placed the tea cup down. She looked at me with an embarassed look before exhaling loudly and speaking slowly,

"In school, there was a bully group of five. The leader of it was Brian. An arrogant pampered Alpha, son of the famous actress Barbara Madison. I wouldn't say he was an Omega hater but rather he just loved bullying those younger to him or his own classmates. I was one of the two Omega of the class and just like any other Omega, I was either ignored or harassed by my classmates. Brian was two years older to me and took a fancy to me, however, I hated him. His arrogant pompous a*s was just not my taste!" she said giggling softly

Her eyes now moved away from me and she look down. I saw her hands coming together, her fingers interwining, like she was going to pray. She spoke, trying to keep her voice light,

"Brian was angry at my not liking him back and started bullying me. Vandalising my desk, throwing my books in the toilet, dropping muddy water on my outfit and what not. Once, he stole my cellphone while I was about to leave for home. I chased after him to the school backyard to take it back but he wouldn't return. He threatened me that if I don't accept his confession, he would break my phone. But I still didn't agree, so he got furious and pushed me down on the floor and as luck would have it, my heat started at the very same time" Tanya went silent after that narration

My eyes opened wide in horror. My grip on the tea cup became so tight that the cup almost broke. Sexual harassment and abuse was common among Omega but hearing such a case first hand from someone made the reality of it even more grim. I didn't need to know what happened next, I could already guess. Tanya spoke again, now looking at me with a sad smile,

"I was fifteen"

I kept my tea cup away as I don't think my stomach could take it after hearing such a horrifying tale.

"But you know what was worse? His mother said that it was my fault for not taking my suppressant and seducing his son by my pheromones on committing such a deed" she said. I could trace a faint tremble in her voice.

"I am so sorry" I said, unable to believe that Tanya had gone through such a horrid experience.

I suddenly felt ashamed to have thrown such a fit over what happened to me when I am a full fledged adult and in position to handle the pain but she was a minor. What must have she gone through? How did she even cope with it? I didn't need to think much as Tanya spoke again,

"I became a recluse....almost! I shut myself up and won't talk to anyone or go out. I went into severe depression. I hated my Omega identity, hated having this accursed body, hated being looked down upon, hated this biased society, hated seeing my culprits walk free without a single punishment, hated this unfair treatment of Omega.....basically I hated everything. I had suicidal thoughts almost everyday. Had it not been for mum and dad, you might not have seen me here. I stayed closed in my house for half a year"

I looked down. I couldn't believe my ears. I didn't realize it but I had actually held my breath. It was not until I got short of breath did I noticed I was not breathing. I quickly breathed, my heart beating in my mouth. I felt a touch on my hand and saw it was Tanya who had placed her hand over mine. Her face was a bit flushed,

"Do you know how I got over it?"

I shook my head, still feeling queasy in my stomach.

"It was because of dad. He came to me after four months of me being a shut in and sat with me. I didn't want to talk to him or anyone. I felt nobody would understand, nobody would get what I was feeling (I looked at her on hearing this) or how much pain I was in. But dad didn't say anything sympathetic but rather only asked me,

'How long are you gonna mop around?' "

That was really unexpected. I looked at her startled but she only chuckled and said,

"Shocked? Even I was. But dad then told me

'World is not fair, it never was and it never will be. It will always oppress the weak and worship the powerful but does that mean we should stop living? Or give up and mop around? Does being upset and beating yourself over it change anything?' "

She smiled at me as if asking me the question. I didn't know what to say and could only stare. Tanya laughed lightly and said,

" No, Tony, it wouldn't change anything. What happened was not your fault neither was it mine but the society would always put the blame on the weak because it is spineless, it cannot fight the powerful. So, we have to fight it. We can't let it defeat us. You can't let those moronic perverted jerks have the satisfaction of seeing you suffer!! That's what they want! You are not alone, there are many who had gone through such a terrible experience. It is painful, heart breaking and really tough to get over it, I know, trust me. But unlike many, you are blessed Tony. Chef Sam, Mr. D'Souza, CEO, Mrs. Walker, Twen, and me, we all love you a lot and will help you with it. We are all there for you"

The lump in my throat seemed to have doubled in size. I swallowed three times before speaking, as my voice broke,

"Would they-would they really? They wouldn't be repulsed by me? They would really not leave me even after I acted like such a jerk?"

Tanya came close to me, kept her tea cup aside and hugged me affectionately, speaking softly near my ears

"Yes! They all want to help you. They all care for you. No one is repulsed by you and no one will leave you. So, don't wallow in self disgust and pity anymore, Tony. I know it is hard....it is hard to forget such an ordeal but only by facing it can you overcome it. We are all there for you!"

I put my hands around her, tears rolling down my cheeks, "Thank you!"

บท 93: Unexpected Visit

Robbie's POV

Tanya had been inside Tony's room for quite sometime. I wonder what's going on. Hopefully, she can talk him out of his miserable state of mind. I had been quite useless in that regard. Twen was sitting on mum's lap reading a book. He had been getting very impatient waiting to see Tony,

"Granny Ash, why can't I see mommy?" Twen asked in an upset voice

Mum patted his head, "Honey, your mum is a little busy. His friend had come to visit him"

Twen blinked innocently, "Friend? Is it Uncle Fred?"

Mum laughed breezily, "No it's Tanya. Do you wanna meet her too?" mum asked to see Twen's upset expression replaced with a bright look.

Mum just mentioned it and I heard a click on the door. Tanya came out along with Tony who looked extremely nervous. Before I could react, Twen bounced down my mum's lap and cried excitedly,

"Mommy!!"

Tony's anxious expression cleared on seeing Twen. Twen went running to him followed by my mum and wrapped his little arms round his waist. I saw Tony smile for the first time in days. He got down on his knees and hugged him,

"Sorry Twen...sorry to worry you" he said

I was surprised at the sudden change in Tony's behaviour and looked at Tanya. She was smiling at him but her complexion had a strange greyish tinge. I was just wondering why she looked so oddly sick, when she turned towards me. I guess she felt my gaze, then smiled at me broadly and winked. Her greyish sickly pallor fading in comparison to her glowing bright smile. I blinked not sure how to respond but I saw her sneakily showing me a 'thumbs up' putting her hands out of Tony's vision. I got the message. She was able to talk him out of his overthinking and misery. I smiled at her gratefully.

Mum spoke to Tony, who had picked Twen on his arm, patting his shoulder length hair and smiling sunnily, "You look better with your hair properly combed. Are you hungry, dear? I can ask Pince to get you a meal"

Tony smiled slightly, saying in a hoarse voice like he had just cried, "Yes...yes mum"

Mum's eyes twinkled on hearing him. She patted Twen on his head and Tanya's arm before quickly walking out of sight. Tony raised his head to look at me. I don't know why, I suddenly felt nervous and glad at the same time. I took three long strides and covered the distance between us.

"Tony" I said

I saw Tony's lips trembling. Tanya and Twen looked at me and then at Tony. Tanya's eyes sparkled as if she had thought of some mischievous idea. She suddenly spread her arm to Twen and said in a jolly voice,

"Hey Twen, wanna see my latest mobile game?"

Twen looked tempted but clutched on to Tony's collar tightly, saying poutily, "Aunty Tanya, I want to stay with Mommy" he muttered

"Ohh you stay with Mommy the whole day, can't you stay with Aunt Tanya for a few minutes" Tanya said with mock upset voice and even had her lips pulled down

I looked at this exchange between Tanya and Twen amused. I gently stroked Twen's head and said with in breezy happy voice,

"Twen, your mommy won't go anywhere. Why don't you go and see the exciting new game Aunty Tanya esp wants to show you?"

"But..." he looked at Tony with confusion

"Its ok Twen. Enjoy with Tanya. I will be here only" Tony smiled

Twen's confused look cleared. He looked at Tanya and spread his arm to her getting on her shoulder. Tanya looked at us both and spoke in a friendly tone,

"Get the air clear, both of you" and walked away talking to Twen animatedly.

Tony was giving me a slightly embarassed look,

"Tony I-"

"Robbie I-"

We both started together and immediately stopped. I chuckled, put a arm around his shoulder and pulled him to the couch.

"You go first. I am dying to hear you talk" I said, after we both took our seat

Tony looked at me again, a little red in the face,

"I am sorry for behaving so ridiculous this past few days and worrying you, mum and Twen"

"NO! I won't say I can understand what your going through, because I don't, but I know it must have been a terrible ordeal and I...I am so sorry that you had go through it because I selfishly wanted to enter your life" I said exhaling

Tony squinted at me as if he had heard me wrong. I continued, "Tony, you have every right to be upset with me. Because of me you had to face the horror of losing your son and the torment of Mr. Olsen-"

"Stop!" Tony stopped me mid way, "I never thought it was your fault. Yes, intially I was angry that you were forcing your way into my life but later I realized, I was happier with you around. Robbie..." he called my name in such a loving voice that I froze, "when Mr. Olsen-"

"Tony, it's ok...you don't have to force yourself to talk about it-" I said hurried only to be interrupted

"No, listen" Tony said putting a hand on mine, "Robbie when Mr. Olsen was...was, well, doing me...I...I realised that...." he look me in the eye. This look was too full of emotion...too full of care. My body immediately siezed up. I was extremely weak at this look of his. He swallowed softly and spoke, his voice still hoarse, "I realised that I had always.... ALWAYS only wanted you in my life. I had only seen my future with you which is why I couldn't give my heart to anyone else. Robbie, you don't have to make me fall for you, I had always only loved you"

I was speechless. Did Tony just made a confession to me? I stared at him blankly. Maybe, Tony realized I was out of words since he came closer and kissed me softly. I was again surprised but this was a happy surprise. I closed my eyes feeling his warm lips on mine. But he quickly drew back. I opened my eyes feeling slightly put down. Tony was looking nervous, he tightly entwined his finger and bit his lips. He mumbled,

"I-I hope your not repulsed by me"

I frowned feeling irritated. I grabbed hold of his collar and pulled him close. Tony's eyes widen as I came close enough to feel his breath. I said more aggressively than I had intended,

"Repulsed?? Do you really think some perverted j*rk can ever make my love for you vanish? If you thought so, then you underestimated my feelings for you. Haven't you noticed it yet, Tony?? You are the only man in my eyes and you always will be. There is no one I want as my life partner other than you. And no Olsen can make me change my view. Now, that you have accepted being mine, then don't you dare say MY Tony is dirty or repulsive!! Got it?"

Tony looked stunned, but the next moment his eyes welled up. He nodded unable to say another word. He wrapped his arms round my waist and put his head on my shoulder. I let go of his collar, a smile pulling up the corner of my lips. I sighed, gently stroking Tony's head but got interrupted almost instantly by Alice's (my mother's assistant) voice.

"Mrs. Ashley....Mrs. Ashley....Oh...I- I am so sorry to interrupt"

She said turning around at the doorway, a little flushed. Tony turned red and quickly tried to move away but like I was going let him. It was not easy to get this moment with him. I held his head on my shoulder, whispering "It's okay" and then raised my voice asking Alice, "What is it, Alice?"

"Oh..." she paused awkwardly, "Uhmm nothing-" she said trying to avoid the subject and trying to leave

"Tell me!" I drawled lazily

"That..." she hesistated, then sighed heavily, "Mr. Walker, you father is here with his lawyer. He wanted to meet Mrs. Ashley"
