I saw him getting into his car and drive off as I cried my heart out
He missed his mother so much, I want to talk to my maa so bad right now!
I heard my phone ring and a glint of hope shined in my eyes thinking it must be my mother
But no
Unknown number
I picked up the call
"Hello"
"Rajkumari"
"Ji..Aap kaun?"
"Galat sawal puch Rahi hai aap, aapko puchna chahiye apne pati ke baare Mai"
I could feel the sweat forming on my forehead. I didn't get a good vibe from this call.
"Kon bol Raha hai?"
"Aap apna darwaza kholiye aur mera tohfa dekhiye"
The line went beep.
My eyes were puffy red and I had a severe headache and this call just made me go numb
Outside my door?!
Jaake dekh Samaira, darpok na ban. Ghar mai baaki log hai, kuch hua toh chilla dena
Gathering up all my courage I went towards the doorkhob and tilted it
There was no one outside. Rather the house was pretty silent than usual.
Sab bahar gaye hai kya?
My eyes fell on the small rectangular envelope lying on the floor
I picked it up and looked here and there to catch even a glimpse of anyone who kept it here
Going back inside the room, I decided to calm my anxious self down
All that is happening right now is so suspicious, it's like life took a 360°.
I opened the envelope and-
Was....Is.. Is this Rudraksh??
I couldn't believe my eyes.
The picture I'm holding in my hand is of my rightfully wedded husband holding another girl in his arms
And that's not it.
There's a recorder. Without wasting any time I took my laptop and played that thing
"Sir, I did everything as you told me to do, I stole the footage from Mam's room and leaked it. Now can we talk about the promotion?" A voice said that I didn't recognise
"What promotion, your rivals did that before you. You pathetic thing, never call me again and never ever tell this to anyone or I'll make you lose your job" a voice that a I deeply recognise.
He leaked the news?? Rudraksh fucking Arora.But why?? To marry me? He's behind all of this, all of the drama?
I was not even crying at this point, I'm trying to let my tears flow but it's too numb in there.
I can't even feel my breaths.
Is this some kind of play for him? A joke?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I heard the sound of door clicking to which I assumed my so called husband is back
I turned around and saw him looking at me
"It was you" I said in a calm voice but a hurricane of anger in my mind waiting to burst out
"You did all this. You leaked the news of the washroom incident and told the news channels to character assaninate me so I could end up marrying you to save my family's reputation. And it was you who is whoring around after marriage."
I threw the envelope on him
I could feel him getting a little tensed at my words but he maintained his stoic face on
As he heard the recording awith a calm face and looked back up to me
"Nothing happened between us. It was all her plan" he said with a straight face making it difficult for me to dipict his emotions
He sat down on the bed holding the envelope in a tight grip
"I won't explain myself to you. Because you wouldn't understand" He said
"Why?" I asked with my trembling voice on the verge to cry
"I can't tell you, yet except the fact that nothing happened. I did not go to her with that intention. I just wanted to help!" He gently came forward and brought his hand to stroke my cheek but I turned otherwise
"By carrying her in your arms?" I said back.
Kyu Rudraksh? Subah se sab kitna accha tha, phir ab aise kyu? Aise kaise vishwas rakhle Rudraksh?
"But who would send you this and why?" He asked more likely to himself
"Someone called me" I couldn't stop myself from crying out loud.
I felt him kneeling down at my level and grip my arm which I harshly pushed back feeling disgusted by his touch
"Listen to me, Samaira, I did go there but nothing like this happened" he said trying to make me understand but I cut him off
"Bewakoof samhja hai hume?, ye tasveere ye bhi jhut hi hoga nay??" I screamed.
"I told you I won't explain myself when I've done absolutely nothing wrong" he said
"Samaira I swear on my mother that nothing happened. I did not cheat on you." He continued
"Aapse ghatiya insaan humne humari zindagi mai nahi dekha Rudraksh Arora. Humse shadi nahi karni thi toh kyu vo news leak karwayi aapne?? Humari zindagi barbaad karne?? Humse baat karneki koshish bhi mat kijiega. Apki shakal toh dur awaaz tak nhi sunni hume ." I said while looking in his eyes dead serious while he just stood there his eyes low
"I'm sorry Samaira. And about the recording part. Yes. I leaked it. Because it was really important for me to get married to you" I heard him say all this.
Important. My foot!
I looked at him and to be honest he looked quite hurt but nothing compared to what I am feeling right now
He held my hand in his. I was about to shrug his hold but he held it firmly
"You don't trust me, I get it. But I'll bring that person who clicked these pictures and I'll make him/her confess the truth" He said
I really hope you're saying the truth Rudraksh. I really hope.
