Life after Wedding

Part 35

"Rihaan, I need to tell you something."She mumbled and just then, they heard their names .

"We will talk in the flight. Let's go first."Rihaan muttered.

"No. This is important."She said, holding his hand.

She said about her meeting with Rajita and said that she was worried and was hiding something from them. She said that, there is some intention to send us away.

"You are unnecessarily getting panicked Ruby. She might have come here to meet some other people, but definitely not for us." He chipped.

"No, Rihaan. You are getting it all wrong. Please try and understand. She was in some problem. She loves us so much. You've never given a chance to her." She mumbled.

"Fine! Let her be in trouble. What's with us? I don't have any relation with that lady. She is my father's wife. That's it. " He huffed.

"She isn't just your father's wife. She was trying hard to be your mother for many years. You've never accepted her. I saw her love towards you, which you couldn't see. Just few minutes back, I saw her and she blessed us for our well being and it isn't fake Rihaan. I saw it in her eyes. She was supposed to say something, but she got a call and went away. " Radhikaa mumbled, with teary eyes.

"Okay. What do you want me to do?" He asked.

"I think, we should go back."She mumbled.

"What? Have you gone mad? I can't take any risk when, it comes to you." He huffed.

"I'm fine Rihaan. I'll ask mom and dad to come here. Papaji is also here to take care right. "She assured him and he was not sure of her words.

He quickly made a few calls and his best friends, Randhir and Ishaan came there. He explained the entire scenario and asked them to take care of Ruby.

Soon, he went in search of Rajita and Ruby was taken to the hospital.

Rihaan called Mr. Sharma, their marketing chief and asked him to make all the documents of their business ready .He made a call from a public telephone, to Rajita's mobile.

She picked up the phone and said, " You can't do any harm to my Rihaan and Radhika. I know, it was you calling me."

Rihaan was startled by her reaction. " I can do anything. You knew me." He muttered, changing his voice.

"I'm ready to meet you. I'm coming to your place Mr. Sabarwal." Rajita muttered helplessly and cut the phone.

Soon, Rihaan rushed to their office and went through all their documents. He came to know that their 1/4th shareholder, Mr. Nirupam Sabarwal owned ½ of the shares now. All his plot started making sense to him.

He went to their home and saw Rajita, talking to him.

"Nirupam, here I am with all my rights. I'm ready to give you my entire share. Please don't harm my children. It's me that has cheated you. You envy me. I know that. "She mumbled helplessly.

"I loved you so much Rajita. You left me for him. You left me, for a widowed man. You lusted on his property" Nirupam raged.

"It wasn't money. It was about my promise." She busted into tears.

"What?" Nirupam huffed.

"Anitha, my best friend ... she died,when Rihaan was very young. I made a promise to her, that I'll take care of her child. That's the sole reason, for my marriage." She spoke, with teary eyes.

"That child, who never treated you as his mom. That child, who never respected you. " Nirupam laughed sarcastically.

"He may not treat me as his mom. But, he is my son and I love him. " She shouted.

" I never knew this Rajita. I hated Mr. Rishab on first place, for taking you away from me. That's the reason for manipulating with his medicines and ill health." He continued his devilish laugh.

"I know your plan very well. That's the reason, I've attended the party happily, showcasing that his ill health isn't affecting me." She shot back.

"I pity you Rajita. You've given me another weapon now. I'm going to punish your beloved son and daughter now." He muttered.

" You can't do anything. You are not going to find them." She blurted out.

"You have no idea."Nirupam huffed.

"Why him? You can kill me to take your revenge. " She asked.

"I want you to suffer for years. Death is a life long comfort you see."He spoke.

" See me dying now." She muttered and took the knife from the bowl of fruits, placed on the nearby table and slid it in her stomach.

Both Nirupam and Rihaan rushed to her in a blink of an eye.

" Mom, I'm sorry." Rihaan muttered, with eyes full of tears.

"I loved you Rajita, how could you do this? I hate you, but I don't want you to die." Nirupam muttered and tears started rolling from his eyes too.

Later,Rajita was taken to the hospital and was treated.

After a few days, She was out of danger and Nirupam regretted for his deeds and went away, leaving them.

"Radhikaa, you were right. I've judged her always. If you haven't stopped me from going, I would have lost my mom once again. " Rihaan mumbled and kissed her hand.

" almighty is always on our side Rihaan. I'm happy that mom is safe now." She muttered, happily.

Few days rolled by and Radhikaa was in the hospital for her delivery and all their family members were waiting outside the operating theatre and just then, a nurse came out .

" Congratulations sir. You've got twins. Mother and children are safe" She muttered.

Rihaan was literally jumping with the news and rushed in to see his wife and children.

Everyone was so happy with the news and thanked the almighty for being mercifull all the time.

" Ruby, I love you." Rihaan mumbled in her ear and kissed her forehead.

"Is it a girl or boy? " She asked, in her lowest pitch and half conscious state.

" We've got twins Ruby. A boy and a girl." He bubbled with joy and placed another kiss on her cheek.

"It's my gift for you, hubby. I love you." She mumbled and passed out with a tear dropping from her eye.

Rihaan embraced her and felt that he was the luckiest man alive on the earth.

"Don't worry. She is absolutely fine. She needs some rest for a while. We will shift her to the room." Muttered the doctor.

A complete family is the gift of every person. Our country is a place with many such families and emotions. Radhikaa and Rihaan may be just two strangers at the beginning of their married life, but they are incomplete with one another. Husband and Wife are actually half souls, which become one and make their existence a complete one with the bond of the other half.

Life after wedding isn't just romance or a commitment. One need not try to understand it. As, it isn't a study. One needs to feel and live it, as it is an emotion.
