Akshadh heard everything, Promise? Did this woman block my maa by the promise? This woman always puts me in an unhappy state and now I understood she gamed with my family. It is her only job. Did she use to think it daily like how to irritate me?

He didn't stand there for long and then he took long steps to the upstairs Balcony. The cloud was dark and Moon's light manages to shower it shining throughout as it was half-moon. There were few stars trying to add their brightness individually. Akshadh was standing at the edge of the balcony. He clutched his palm anxiously. Weak tears wetted his eyes. Janu was more than he thought about her. She would go to any extreme to make her desire and she used his maa finally. The word promise was echoing in his ear often. He managed himself to control his emotions. He knew words can't make her understand only time makes her understand her fault.

After standing there for a long time he entered his room. He didn't look at Janu who was standing near the door. His room was entirely changed and the wardrobe was placed in a different direction. He got furious but he still persisted silent. He picked up the T-shirt and casual tracks. He came after refreshing.

Janu was sitting in the couch which was placed opposite to his bed. Akshadh turned off the lights leaving a dim light.

Janu tried to commence the talk.

"Akshadh, How long we would be like this? At least scold me. I want to hear your words. Don't kill me by your silence," Tear drops reached the corner of her eyes. She felt worried as Akshadh is not even looking at her for once. She got an inner fear, What if it continues for long?

He didn't reply. He was already storming in anger. She started pouring oil in his fire, "Akshadh, I love you and that made me do this. Please forgive me and talk to me. Your silence is almost killing me slowly,"

He laid in the bed and wrapping the blanket till his face.

"I love you, Akshadh,"

He loves the word, Love. Love meant Dhiya but he hates to hear it from Janu. It remains a very sensitive issue for him, being unable to control his words he spits out, "This is not love. Do you know what love is? In my world of the dictionary, Sacrificing is love. Sacrificing Love for the people whom you loved. Sacrificing the wishes, families, desires etc. She did and now she went away from me. I can't forget her for a second. I am carrying her here," he caressed on his heart thinking where Dhiya is staying.

"She went??' Janu's mind voice. She neither feels happy nor sad. His words are stabbing her because these painful words are not for her.

"What to do Akshadh? Even I loved you one side for three years. I followed you without your knowledge. At a point when I tried to give up, do you know how much pain I have endured at that time? I can't Akshadh instead let me kill myself. At that time, Maanvi started the marriage talk. How can I leave you after that? Destiny ties us together. Now, we got married and understand reality. How can I give up on you?"

He signed, "Why can't you give up?" He araised a question from her final sentences.

"Because I love you, Akshadh,"

"I love her, how can you expect me to give up? You can't understand the feelings of others. Already you spoiled my life. Please don't dig up my emotions and change me to a beast. Also, don't waste your time in arranging the things in my room that I hate totally because in very soon you are going to your home permanently," He said sarcastically about Divorce.

"I will amend you by my love and a day will come for me where you dream for my love " she repeated her Mantra words again.

Laughing!!! " Good Joke!!!! Jokes apart Try if you can," he burst out the final words.

Silence occupied the room.

The next day,

Janu got up early still her eyes begged to sleep for another half an hour. Her eyes were red due to sleepless nights and tears covering often. After completing her early morning routines, she rushed to the kitchen. She boiled the milk and gave it to Akshadh's maa who was yarning like she didn't sleep yesterday. Yes! How could she sleep peacefully knowing that she spoiled his son's feelings? She felt pity for Janu too...

Akshadh came down after an hour. He noticed his maa was with Janu in the kitchen so he came out to the living hall picking the morning newspaper from the table.

Janu came to the living hall seeing Akshadh. She was shocked to see her parents who were stepping close to her home through the glass windows. She ran and opened the door in curiosity. She hugged her parents and happy tears invaded her eyes as she miss them to the core. Their presence makes her delighted. Akshadh stood up and greeted them. Akshadh maa rushed from the kitchen after seeing them. They were cheerful seeing their daughter in a different style after the marriage. There had random chats. Akshadh sat calmly.

After having breakfast, Janu's maa initiated with a smile, "We came here to take you, our daughter and son in law for our family rituals,"

"Yes, sorry. I remembered about the ritual. I said about this to Akshadh but he was busy with his works so unable to take Janu there," Akshadh's maa pleaded.

"No problem, we knew. Janu said already," they replied seeing Janu.

Akshadh sighed!!! Rituals.....My God, please take me somewhere...He looked at his maa gesturing a big No..

Seeing that gesture, Janu replied, "Mom, let him stay here as he was busy for two days. He will come there to pick me up. Let us go," Finally she made everyone agree and went to his room to get ready. Akshadh didn't expect this from her. He heard Janu calling him from the room. He went leaving his family to discuss.

She got ready. He sat on the couch with no idea to judge her. She steps close to him and bends to his sitting height. Within a fraction of second, she placed an unexpected soft kiss in his cheek.

In a shock, he got up and looked at her for the first time after the marriage. She hugged. She felt his manly smell and it was the happiest moment after her wedding. The hug lasted for few seconds till he pushed her gently, "What are you doing? Do you have sense?"

Tears occupied her eyes fully. Unable to see her tears, he turned around. He knew her love was true but the way of expressing was utterly brainless.

when she was about to leave the room. "I sorry Akshadh and miss you a lot. My parents were missing me a lot and I knew they would get hurt if we didn't go. I am sure that you won't come. Let me go and come within a few days," he didn't turn to look her. She picked up her bag and left the room.

Within a few minutes, Akshadh entered inside the car and Janu occupied the front seat. Her parents were seated back. This was her first happy ride after the wedding. She recollected the look he lingered for her a few minutes ago before she hugs him...She imagined the scene in her level of perception. A beautiful smile occupied her.

Akshadh dropped them in the airport. Only silence was between Akshadh and Janu. she went along with her parents.

Akshadh's maa POV

I can't forget those words said by Janu. It was really making me feel guilty. Did I spoil Akshadh's life knowingly or unknowingly? I can't blame Janu here for my mistake. The memories started flashing one by one. The unannounced Engagement plan thinking Akshadh would accept whatever I have chosen for him ~ On spot Engagement in the stage during the Award function ~ When he tried to say his side on that day, I got fainted ~ my health issues ~ so he killed and buried himself to save my life ~ Day before his marriage, he fell in my lap and cried for something ~ Siddhu told that Akshadh was not interested in marriage ~Now he was walking a man without life. Everything because of me. Did I urge or force him? Yes, I forced him. I didn't ask his opinion. It was a big mistake from my side. She cried for spoiling her son's feelings. Tears wetted her cheeks.

After a long, she wished to talk to Akshadh regarding this. She can't leave Janu by the way.
