Chapter 31
####PAST WHICH SATVI ACTUALLY FORGOT AFTER THE INCIDENT THAT HAPPENED BECAUSE OF WHICH SHE WAS IN COMA FOR ONE MONTH####
*Satvi Pov*
"Don't worry, Dad! We both will help with everything." Vani and I assured him like we did for the past one week.
"You know we should take some vacation after today's marriage." Vani mumbled when we started walking towards the stage to see the arrangements.
"Tell me about it. How about we both go to some beach?" I asked turning towards her.
"Di! You are still mad about oceans?" She asked, completely surprised.
"I guess I will be until I see one. I mean I am twenty one, but still didn't step out of the Lucknow." I replied sighing.
"I am going to be twenty one, but stepped out of the village only to come to your house and college." She said, and I chuckled shaking my head.
"Alert! Someone whose name we should not take is coming towards here." She whispered.
"What he is doing here when he has to actually get ready?" I asked her, and she shrugged before walking away to help her parents.
"Satvi!" he called standing beside me.
"What is it, Karthik?" I asked him checking my mobile and then stared back at him.
"I am feeling guilty." He replied, and I frowned hearing his words.
"Excuse me?" I asked him confused.
"I know I should have told you about my love to Leela near you and not hide that like that. But I really got scared thinking you will leave our friendship when you got to know about that." He explained and I just nodded.
"And... I never thought you like that." He added, and I sighed hearing his words.
"I understand and you do not have to feel guilty at all. You should go and get ready." I said, turning to walk away.
"If you really understand, then why are you not talking to me properly or anything to Leela?" he asked and his words just made me stop in my tracks.
"I will tell you what is the problem. My sister is just nineteen years old, and she is getting married at that age. At present, she should be studying and should graduate in her studies. But she has a plan to leave those studies, and you ask me what is my problem." I said poking at his chest.
"I..." he trailed off but I stopped him showing my hand.
"Well, it is just not my concern right. When she doesn't have a problem with it and her fiancé, don't have a problem with that and then even my Dad has no problem then who am I to object." I said walking away from him hearing my mobile ringing.
I lifted it and barked "Hello!"
"What happened?" I heard a worried voice, and all my anger just left me in that second.
"Nothing!" I replied in the same soft voice which I get every time I talk with him.
"Ok! If you want to talk, then I have two ears by the way." He said making me chuckle.
"I know! And those can listen only to my words." I said back sitting in a corner chair.
"Then what about my clients and mainly my assistant?" he asked, and I smiled before continuing our talks.
"So, you are really fine?" he asked which he has been asking for the time I returned Lucknow.
"Of course! Today is the wedding and then they will go to honeymoon while I am planning to go to a vacation with Vani." I replied looking for her.
"Oh!" he mumbled while I found her talking into a phone with a big frown.
"Vani?" I called her and she immediately turned back.
"He is in the village, Di. I have to go back right now." She replied with nervousness.
"Ok! Go there after the wedding." I said, holding her hand.
"No! I don't want to miss a chance, Di." She said smiling, and I nodded at her.
"Looks like my plan just got canceled." I said, sighing placing the phone again near my ear.
"I am actually going to Kolkata tomorrow for a meeting." He said, and I sighed more because he will also be out of the station to meet him again.
"Wait! Kolkata? There are beaches right?" I asked him and immediately face palmed myself for asking that silly question.
"Of course! Why?" he asked with confusion.
"I wanted to get near one from the time I was a kid. Karthik and I actually planned a vacation as a graduation present. Even now my plan was the same with Vani. I don't know why whenever I want to go there something just stops me." I explained, feeling bad when I think about it together.
"Why don't you come with me tomorrow?" he suddenly asked and I actually laughed hearing his question.
"I am not joking. Just pack your bag today night itself, and we will go to Kolkata together." He added.
"Will it be ok to go there alone?" I asked him nervously.
"Of course!" he replied and I literally walked here and there for a few minutes and saw Leela coming towards me.
"Ok! But I will be there tomorrow evening only. I will give you a call when I reach Kolkata." I said, hoping that he will accept it.
"Sure! I will be waiting in Kolkata then along with your beach." He said, and I smiled before we both hang up.
"Satvi!" she said walking towards me.
"Yes?" I asked, looking at her.
"I know you are angry that I am getting married at this young age." she said, and I nodded at her.
"That is just my fault, Satvi! My relative is on the death bed, and my parents are completely, forcing me to get married so she accepted it because of me." I heard Karthik's voice from behind me.
I stood stunned for a few minutes and slowly nodded, still not really liking, but it is their wish to follow anything.
"About studies, I just don't want to anymore as I never had any interest in it." She explained and again I nodded.
"And, if we really know about that video, then I would have never proposed to her in front of everyone, and she would have never accepted it." Karthik said, and I looked at Leela raising my eyebrow.
"Rigth! No one knows about that video at all, and I can totally understand." I said, and Karthik smiled thinking that I understood and walked away.
"You should have removed it, Leela." I mumbled looking at her.
"I tried to, Satvi. But the staff is really hard to reach, and that was why I called you to tell you everything." She said, and I sighed.
"Just forget about everything. I think it is excellent that all this happened. Go and get ready." I said in a calm tone, and she nodded hugging me and just walked away.
Everything happened very properly, and they even left the venue. I returned home with Dad, and we retired to our rooms feeling completely tired with all the work.
"Dad!" I called him the next-day morning.
"What is it, Satvi?" he asked, placing his newspaper aside.
"I am going to Kolkata." I replied, showing my bag.
"Alone? Why?" he asked, frowning.
"Not alone! I am meeting my friend there, and I will call you when I reach there." I replied hoping that he will be ok.
"I really don't know about anything, Satvi." He suddenly said.
"Forget about that day, Dad. I shouldn't have got you worried at all." I said, smiling at him and left when he gave some instructions to be safe.
I walked outside the airport and searched for him. I saw that no one is holding my name card, but then remembered that I have some other name now.
I couldn't find even that name, but one thing got my sight. A name Cindrella is written on a card making me smile, and I walked towards him.
"I am not a Cindrella, Prince charming." I said smiling at the card.
"And I am not a prince charming." He said removing the card so that I can see his face.
"You are!" I said, shaking my head and hugged him lightly.
"Are you ok?" he asked when I sat calmly in his car.
"Yeah!" I replied.
"Are you thinking about him?" he suddenly asked.
"Who?" I asked him frowning.
"The guy you love!" he replied and this time my frown has increased.
"I don't love him. I just like him." I said, shaking my head.
*Rohan Pov*
Even though I told her about my likeness and she told hers, I still felt that something is missing somewhere.
I suddenly felt that maybe she actually doesn't like me, but she is at present hurt and felt like she likes me too. People do something like that when the person they like doesn't like them back.
These thoughts didn't leave me, and I couldn't ask her, by which she could get hurt. But while driving along the Kolkata road with her beside me, I couldn't stop my questions.
"Are you saying that just because he loves your sister?" I asked her when she said she doesn't love him.
"No! If I really think that he is the one you know, then I would have walked towards him even after all that and confessed my love three times." She replied and I actually chuckled hearing her answer.
"Three times?" I asked her frowning.
"Yeah! For dramatic effect." She replied, shrugging and I caressed her cheek before I could stop myself, after which we both sat in complete silence.
"We are here!" I mumbled when we reached my house.
"You mean we are going to stay here?" she asked getting outside the car.
"This is my home. Now turn back." I slowly and she slowly did.
I continued to stare at her and now, I can understand her craziness about it as her expressions just went from one to another in light speed.
"Oh my god!" she said in complete awestruck.
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" she continued to say the same word walking towards me and hugged me tightly.
"You can go near water." I whispered in her ear.
"Will you come with me?" she asked, holding my hand removing herself from the hug.
"In a few minutes!" I replied and she nodded, walking toward the ocean.
I started removing my shoes and the coat while giving instructions to my assistant not to disturb me with any calls for some time. After hanging up, I glanced up to only stop for a second.
She is playing in the water like a kid and jumping in the waves. I smiled and started walking towards her while she waved at me.
"This is just so cool. Finally, I am here and finally my wish is fulfilled." She said holding my hand.
"Why do you love this so much?" I asked, holding her properly, as a big wave passed us.
"I don't know! I used to hear about the oceans from my Mom. She enjoyed a lot here, but after she passed away, I always wanted to come to one and feel what she said." She explained, looking around.
"You must be missing her." I said, remembering that I miss my Dad even though I don't miss my Mom as I never knew her.
"She must be watching me." She said back and suddenly threw some water on me with her free hand.
"You didn't!" I said and returned the favor.
For one hour, we played and just walked back towards the house. She stopped near the door mumbling "I don't want to spoil any carpet or something."
"There is a washroom in the backside. Why don't you freshen up there?" I asked her and she nodded, walking towards the back along with her bag.
I took a towel from the chair on the lawn and started drying myself lightly as I need to go inside as my clothes are not out, but this sand is not at all leaving me.
"Shall I bring your clothes?" She suddenly asked walking towards me completely freshened.
"Sure!" I replied and gave her the instructions.
"Your house is really good." She said, bringing my clothes.
"I still need to get it redecorated a little which I am postponing for quite a long time." I said and walked towards the washroom in the backside.
When I returned I saw that she is sitting on the chair, gazing at the ocean. I cleared my throat, and we both walked inside the house to show her the guest room.
"I am so hungry. So why don't we go and get some food, or we can order." I said when I saw that she doesn't have any energy left.
"Ok! Please order or I can cook something." She said, glancing at the kitchen.
"I don't have any groceries, so I will just order." I said and called my favorite restaurant which I always call whenever I don't want to go outside.
"This is so delicious." She said while having the food.
"Yeah! So, tell me more about yourself." I said, wanting to know everything and not leave anything out.
"I think I told you so much. You tell me." She said, looking back at her plate.
"You know that my father recently passed away. But I have a step mother and a step brother. I am not close to them but give them respect as it will hurt my dad if I don't." I explained, and she nodded slowly.
Like that we continued to chat and enjoyed the stay. I showed my favorite restaurants and my favorite places each day, and finally it was the last day of our stay.
"I can't believe that one week actually passed." She said looking up at the sky as we are lying on the sand with her head on my shoulder.
"Why don't we extend it in Lucknow?" I asked, and she laughed shaking her head.
"You know, I am glad that I am here for the first time with you and not with anyone else. You made it even more special than I actually felt it must be." She said snuggling to me a little but kept a distance.
"You know I am never this close to anyone. I always had that shell around me and never showed my emotions, but with you, I couldn't stop showing even if I want to." I said not knowing what to even say.
"I love you!" I slowly whispered, and she stilled in my hands before sitting up.
Looks like I was too hasty in expressing my feelings. She just lost the person she likes, and here I am telling this, but what if someone else comes into her life, and I lose her.
"I am so sorry!" she said before I could say anything, and I felt dreadful thinking that she will say she doesn't feel like that or anything.
She cleared her throat and said, "Hi! I am Satvi, and I love you."
"What?" I asked her after a few minutes not understanding her words.
"I love you too, but my name is Satvi." She replied and I too sat up in shock.
"I know I am really wrong here lying about my name and not telling you the truth. But both times I got scared. The first scare was on police record, and the second scare was about you not talking to me anymore." She explained, but I didn't utter a single word.
"Please forgive me and don't say that you hate me. I really love you, and that is not a lie." She added with tears flowing from her eyes, but I just stood up and started walking towards the house.
What if she actually likes me just because she is vulnerable at present? I thought and didn't like that feeling at all.
"Please Stop!" she shouted, making me stop in my tracks.
Suddenly, she was standing before me holding my hands and said, "I love you!"
"I love you! And I love you." She said looking into my eyes.
"I love you too, Swetha." I said holding her face.
"But... I am not... I am Satvi." She said, frowning after smiling hearing my love.
"You are Swetha for me. You must be Satvi for everyone out there, but for me, you are only Swetha. My swetha!" I said, moving her face towards mine.
"I am your Swetha." She said, nodding and added, "Only my name was a lie, and everything is truth. I really love you."
"Please forgive me." She said when I brushed her tears away, and I did by pressing my lips to hers. She is my Swetha no matter what!
