Advitya POV
"Shekhar! I am happy that you asked Neelakshi to leave the meeting. A real soldier keep his friendship away from business." Sarin sir said.
I came outside to see him off.
"Sir! It was necessary. Besides she came all of a sudden." Then i start recollecting what she said to me..
"Looks like you are lost again. What is the matter Advitya! You can share it with me"! Sarin sir said.
"It's nothing sir. Nothing important".. i replied
Before sitting inside the car , sarin sir stopped.
"Do you like her"? He asked.
"Who?"
"Don't pretend Advitya. I saw you how desperately you were gazing her for the attention. And even asked Neelakshi to leave, because she ordered Adhya in a bad manner". Sarin sir said.
"It's not".. Before i complete he intervened
"Adhya is a nice girl Advitya, think about her. Even if she is a namesake wife, completely opposite of your liking, but i can say she is perfect for you". He said.
"It's not that she being perfect for me or not. I sometimes think" ....(i paused for a moment)...
"if ..if ..i am perfect for her. She is an angel in human skin, so innocent and caring. Look at me.!!
A complete beast, emotionless cold hearted person. Who never been loved by anyone after his parents death. Who was betrayed by his own Relatives . The person who was betrayed in friendship and alliance. My suffering made me stone and cruel. I think god pitied me and hence sent Adhya like wife in my deserted life." !!
I replied with a weak smile.
"Every thing is under control Advitya. Trust yourself. God has given you a chance. He sent Adhya in your life. A person whom you can call your own. Don't let her go. I can read your eyes. It's more than liking." He said while patting my back.
I nodded in affirmation and smiled.
He then settled himself inside the car.
"Get prepared soldier! We are reaching at the end of our mission". he said while accelerating car.
"Absolutely sir! Jai hind".. i replied
"Jai hind", then he left.
I came inside with a smile. May be i started loving her. I closed the door. I found she has departed to her room.
Why didn't she wait for me? I want to ask her about her evening. I thought.
I checked her room which was closed. Lights are off too. May be she is tired. I thought.
Then i retired to my room. I changed my clothes.
I thought about what sarin sir told me. May be he is right. God has given me a chance. A chance to be loved again. I lied down on my bed.
Then my thoughts drifted to Neelakshi's claim. I didn't like when she ordered Adhya to make coffee for 3. I told her to leave as every mission is secret. And only members of Mission should know the details of next move. Well this was completely intentional from my side. In this way i showed her my annoyance. She must not treat my wife like this. She is not a maid.
Thank god Adhya didn't see us in wrong position which was an accident. She spilled whole coffee on my shirt . When i removed my shirt because of burning sensation , she slipped and fall on my chest. I was about to stand when i heard Sarin sir voice. Oh god what an embarassing moment that was!
Then i heard Adhya voice. When did she come, i still didn't know. She was looking normal that means she didn't see us. It was a relief. Or else i have to explain lot of things. When she asked for coffee and left the place, sarin sir asked us about what are we doing. Then i explained whole scenario. I showed him my burnt chest. Its still paining. I run my fingers over my chest.
I got up and took the ointment from the table and applied it on the area.
I lied down again on my bed. Neelakshi told me today even if i start loving Adhya, she lives in vulnerability forever because of my job. She is different from us. I cannot risk her life. Besides i don't know how long i will live. I am a soldier. Every moment of my life is under threat and risk. She has a point. If i progress in this relationship, There will be no way back. I still caged my heart for that very reason. I thought.
But i am a human too i deserve to be loved. What if everything goes good . With these confusing thoughts i slipped into deep slumber.
Adhya POV
I don't know when i slept yesterday. I got up from the bed. I looked myself in the mirror. I was looking horrible. My tear stricken face made me remember yesterday's incident. Fresh tears start accumulating in my eyes. No i should not cry. I wiped my face and stormed into the bathroom.
After taking shower. I came out of the room. I dried my hair. My eyes were swollen. I hurriedly wear my t shirt and jeans. I need to go from here. Thankfully i have an excuse of Neeti Didi's marriage . Today i Don't want to stay here. I put on the black glasses and composed myself with confidence. As if nothing happened.
I lead my way to the door when i saw bangles he gave me Yesterday. I don't need them. I took them and went downstairs.
When i reached in hall i saw him in kitchen!
What's he doing there? I thought.
Then he saw me! And smiled widely
"Adhya! Hey" ! He then come to me.
"You are looking different today." He checked me out from head to toe .
"Why"? I asked
"Nothing.. you wear traditional most of the times. That's why i asked." He said .
"I want to wear them today" I replied planely.
"Ok , but traditional suits you more". He said.
Why , Neelakshi wears same kind of clothes. He liked her in those. I thought but didn't reply.
"Anyways! Come have breakfast". I have prepared all." He said.
"No need! I am actually leaving. Neeti di needs me. Besides Naaz is coming as well. So i have to rush."
I replied.
"But.. i have prepared all" .. before he complete i butt in
"You can eat i will have mine at Neeti Didi's house". I said
I can see his face he is shocked with my replies.
I turned to leave but then i saw bangles in my hand.
I turned towards him
"And take these! I Don't think i deserve this". I replied.
"What are you saying." he asked in low voice.
"Besides, it's not going with my dress." I hurriedly handover the bangles to him and ran from the place.
"Adhya"!! I heard his voice. But i left the house in cab. I can't be weak.
Advitya POV
How can she do this. ? This is my mom's bangles.. i picked the bangles from floor. When Adhya gave me the bangles back. She didn't place it well on my hands and in her carelessness bangles fall on the ground.
The bangles screws are broken and misplaced. Hence it's broken in two parts.
This is my mom's bangles! A lone tear escaped from my right eye.
Flashback start
8year old Advitiya entering his parents room.
"Ma!! maa"!! See i am ready! "
Advitya saw her mom. He hugged her. Her mom lifts her.
"Mom what is this!" Baby Advitya asked
"This is bangles baby. I will wear it in my hands". Mom replied.
"Mom can I take this"? Baby Advitya asked
"No baby! You can't. Your father has given me . i will give it you when you get married". Mom Said.
"Why will i get this only When i am married" ?! Baby Advitya asked.
"Umm, because my prince will marry a princess. And give that bangles to her as a present". Mom replied.
Baby Advitya clapped his hands in joy.
"Ok mumma! I will take this when my princess come". Baby Advitya replied cutely.
Mom hugged him in a pure joy!
Flashback ends...
"Adhya, you are my princess , this bangles belongs to you. But you rejected them. You hurt me today". I thought while wiping my face.
Adhya POV
For the first time i behaved badly with Advitya. I am feeling guilty. He prepared breakfast for me. But how can he behave normal after yesterday's incident. I thought.
I am waiting for Neeti di. She went for shopping with aunty. Actually Naaz wanted to meet me but she stucked in urgent work too. When i reached here, Neeti di went with aunty..
"Adhya! My thoughts riverine got broken with Neeti Di's voice.
I got up and hugged aunty. And Neeti di.
"The shopping was hectic." Aunty said while sitting on a sofa.
I gave them water .
"I will live with you all today"! I announced.
Niti di smiled.
"It's wonderful my darling! Did you ask your husband." Aunty asked.
I nodded.
Then aunty and Neeti di left for their rooms. They were tired..
In evening we gathered in hall . We welcomed groom's side. They were here for a ritual in which they give dresses and jeweleries to the bride. It is official meet of bride with other relatives of groom's side.
After chatting and refreshments , groom family left.
I was bit lost because of him.
Yes Advitya, he is not around. Neither he called once.
I came outside in the garden. Sun is about to set.
A slow breeze healing my unseen wounds. I am in my thoughts, noticing nothing but the sun set. I don't remember for how long I am sitting on a bench, gazing a spot in the dusky sky.
"Thinking about something very deeply"
And the voice made me return from the no man's land.
"No just watching this beautiful nature" I replied.
She sits by my side. We sit in silence for few minutes.
"I saw him "! She said.
I turned to her.
"Who"? I asked
'Your husband'!
I start fidgeting my fingers in anxiousness.
"Oh ! Ok . Where"? I asked.
"In the mall" , she took her time and she said
"with a girl"!
I tried to look unaffected.
"That must be be Tanya! His secretary. He told me about his meeting". I tried to cover him.
"I saw them in girl's washroom". She said in utter disgust
I stopped looking to her. I am in awkward position. I don't know what should I reply.
"They were very closed Adhya"! She said in low voice.
I turned my head and looked straight. Tried my best to not look into her eyes.
"I believe him"! I managed to reply. While maintaining my neck in a upright position.
She laughed sarcastically , "you believe him? Even when I told you about his closeness with a girl whatever her name is. How can you say that."
I have no answers for the question she is asking.
"What are you holding Adhi"? She continued asking me. "What are you hiding?"
"Niti di you are overreacting". I looked her this time. "He is a good man. He is a man one can only dream for. I LOVE HIM with all my heart. sometimes what we see is not true. I think you might have mistaken. I BELIEVE HIM. he might be helping that girl. He has a kind heart".
She thought for a while. And nod her head in denial.
"You have changed Adhya"?
I looked at her.
"You are not the Adhya I knew. The Adhya I knew was possessive about the things she loved. Old Adhya was possessive for her parents, best friend, her clothes, her toys. Here you are saying you love him but you are not possessive about him. You not even tried to know about the girl he was making out with.
You have changed , you definitely have changed."
She got up from the bench almost yelling that I have changed.
"So what should I do."
She stopped in her stance.
"What should I do "! I continued replying to her.
"Should I start behaving like a typical wife who doubts her husband". I paused..
"You said old Adhya was possessive about her things. That's true. But what I got in return. All those people I loved have left me". I paused a little to recollect my painful memories.
"And What if I become madly possessive about him , he will left me too.. you know how unfortunate is I am."
She turned to me , her eyes were moist. She came to me running, Holding me in a tight hug. I had tears in my eyes. She immediately wiped them with her fingers. "Don't call yourself unlucky Adhi
I am sorry Adhi. I am sorry!!"
"It's ok Niti di". I soothe her back with my hands. "But trust me he is a good man. You are misjudging him". I replied.
She nods her head in agreement.
Not very far from the vision, someone is listening to their conversation. He turned back and hide behind the pillar,when the two leading their way inside.
"I hurt her" !! Advitya managed to mumble only this.
