"I would be his,if he asked"

~

Preeta came out of the washroom wearing a night suit.She was surprised to see Karan sitting on the bed waiting for her.

Karan looked at her and stood up approaching her.Preeta immediately moved back.

"Listen"he gulped and looked at her with a lack of words.

He scolded himself for his behaviour again.It just went with the flow and messed up everything.She was angry because of that.he thought.

Whereas she was thinking how to control her emotions in front of him.She was angry with him and was trying to push him but his closeness,his warmth and his touch melted her.she hated herself for that.

"I am sorry for that,I don't know how..I shouldn't have touched you that way without your pe.."he stopped when she pushed him with her palms.

"Then why did you do that?tumhe jo man karega karoge aur fir baad mein sorry keh doge haan?tum mujhe kiss karoge aur uske liye regret feel karke sorry kahoge aur mein chup rahungi?tumhe kya lagta hai mein kuch feel nahi karti.Aur abb bhi tum mujhe touch karne keliye sorry keh rahe ho..toh karte hi kyu ho jo baad mein regret karte ho?"she shouted furiously.

His words again stabbed her heart.He again repeated his mistake by apologizing which made her hell angry.If he regret later whatever happens between then what is the need to initiate?

Why does he make her feel the way she never felt or and makes her feel loved with his actions.he again made her hurt.She felt like slapping him.

"Pree"he stopped seeing her with so much anger.He wanted to apologise.he felt that it was his mistake to touch her without her permission and he did that second time which made him feel guilty.

She held his Collars and looked at him with hurt.

"Toh kyu karte ho jo tum baad mein regret Karo?why?tumhe kya lagta hai karan?I am a human to..mujhe bhi feelings hai..mein tumhari tarah nahi hu..you are heartless.You just know how to break others with your those bitter words"she sounded low pulling him angrily.

He looked at her lostly listening to her words.He didn't mean to hurt her this time.she took him in wrong way.He just wanted to clear everything before she could judge him wrong.

"Preeta listen to me..mein tumhe hurt karne keliye nahi kaha..I just wanted to clear everything"he said lowly holding her hands which were on his collars.

"Tum kuch clear nahi kar rahe karan.You are making my insult.you are playing with my feelings.tum jo bhi mere saath karte ho,kehte ho uske liye regret feel karte ho I know.and that is the reason I wasn't talking with you.I was not Ignoring you karan I just don't want to create any another mess between us and you to hurt me again.I don't want to be your regret"she said realising him his mistake pulling him through collars.

Karan widened his eyes listening to.He never imagined her ignorance was because of that.If she would have told him there he would have cleared it there itself.

"So please don't try to talk to me,I don't want to feel ignored and unwanted.Its better to stay away.Agar ham baat hi nahi karenge toh sab kuch normal rahega tumhe regret bhi nahi karna padega kisike liye bhi.toh please leave me ALONE "she ended with a heavy heart and moved away from him taking her hands back.

But soon she felt herself in his embrace as he pulled her instantly holding her hand and snaked his arm around her waist holding her.

She looked at him Seriously to find the anger in his eyes.He stared her for few seconds before saying.

"You are not my regret and never.Meine tumhe kiss kiya aur uske liye sorry kaha toh tum usse regret samjhi?god preeta I apologized because I touched your without your permission.I guess it was my mistake not to mention you clearly and I can never feel regret with you.I don't how it took your mind.aur uske liye tum mujhe nearly 1 week se baat nahi kar rahi ho.grow up preeta you could asked me directly"he cleared her looking into her eyes.She saw him unbelievably.

His words literally made her confused.She didn't actually belived his words but his eyes told whatever he was saying was true.He don't regret their moment.

But she cannot believe him.he always does that.how can he say that to talk to him when he was never ready to listen to her properly.

"Your lying karan.tum keh rahe ho tumse baat karu.tumne kabhi suna hai meri baat?mein kitni baar tumse baat karne ki koshish ki hu and even to sort out.But you are the one who makes our normal conversation to a argument and always ends up hurting me with your words"she said with moist eyes remembering the days he argued and quarrelled with her which ended up in leaving the house twice.

He took her words and he knew he did that.He was guilty of wherever he did those days.

"I know,It was my mistake you know how I was then.I was not okay with whatever happened then.I was angry on myself, everyone and everything.Mujhe kuch pata nahi chala mein kya kar raha hu aur tumhe hurt Kiya"he sounded guilty of what he did.

Her anger increased listening to him.How can he say that he didn't knew whatever he was doing.Was i any robot or emotionless human being that he can treat however he want.

"What do you think of me?Kya mein bohot khush thi ki shaadi hone se pehle hi tumne bataya tha ki it will be just for the name sake and I agreed with you.meine kuch pucha nahi tumhe aur nahi waha tumhare saath Ane ke baad kuch manga hai tumse.mein chup chap thi waha lekin akele machine ki tarah toh nahi reh sakti na.Tum mere saath normally ek family member ki tarah bhi baat nahi karte the.Mujhe tumse kuch nahi chahiye tha karan just a normal conversation between us.mere liye utna kafi tha lekin tumhe toh mere presence se bhi allergy thi"

"Mujhe sab pata hai.. please don't remind me.Mein keh raha hu na sab galti se hua lekin mein sab repeat nahi karunga promise" he requested her realising his mistakes.he knew whatever she was saying was all true and he felt ashamed listening to her every complaint.But didn't to remind that all.

"I know your promises.Tumne pehle bhi kiya tha aur kaha tha ki mujhe rulaoge nahi lekin tumhe mujhe fir se hurt Kiya fir se rulaya.tum jao yaha se mujhe koi baat nahi karni tumse"she frowned at him and jerked his hand which were holding her.

"And you don't need to do anything.Tum jaisa ho waise hi raho.kyu ki mein nahi aaungi abb waha.I won't come with you again.I will apply for the devorce,it's better"karan widened his eyes with her listening to her.His heart felt an unknown emotion when she said she won't come with him and the shocking news she want to devorce him.

His fear was becoming true.She wants to leave him too.She doesn't want to leave with him.he knew he was a jerk then but he was changed now.He came here for her and she didn't even notice that his heart pierced listening to her.

He slowly moved towards her and looked at her who was avoiding his gaze.he tried to hold her hand but she jerked away moving back and shook her head.

"Ple..please don't say that again.Kabhi mat kehna.meine kaha na I won't repeat anything.I will be good with you from now.mein tumhare liye yaha tak aya hu..I couldn't bear your ignorance.How much I have called you, messaged you but still you didn't found any changes in me? Trust me please I won't repeat" he said looking at her with a hope that she will understand him.

She read his expressions which turned gloomy listening to her words.It wa sthe first time he was sounding like this.He never talked like this and specially requesting her to come with him and to stay with him.but why?

Why he wants me to come with him,stay with him when he don't like her and don't want to accept her as his wife.she thought.

"But why?why you want me to stay with you.there is no reason to be with. You don't even like me there then why should I come with you.Mujhe nahi rehna tumhare saath.You are too bad.aur mere liye yaha tak kyu aye tum.kyu?when I don't mean anything to you"she said narrowing her eyes at him.She knew he was saying her seriously and genuinely but she didn't understand why he wants her to be with him when she doesn't mean anything to him.

Karan looked at dejected.He was not understanding what to answer her.He himself had no answer for her questions.

"I..I don't know.But please tum usse ignore nahi kar sakti I came here to talk with you.To solve this.I just want to you to be with me.I mean pehle ki tarah jaise bachpan mein the"He said remembering Their childhood days.He himself didn't had any proper reason for her to tell.preeta was listening to him being confused and stunned.

What had happened to him? did someone do magic on him?
Why is he behaving like this?she thought looking at him.

"I mean normally like you said.I promise I won't repeat anything.Agar tumhe fir se rulaya toh I am ready for what you will say.Please I want you to give me a chance"he stood near her and held her hands in his.

She didn't protested this time because she was busy in swallowing his every single word in her mind and heart.It was very new for her.He seemed totally different and even his words were just feeling like a dream for her.

She never imagined some day he will be talking with her like this.Realising his mistakes and even asking for her to stay with him.To give him chance.She felt like her head was spinning and she would faint anytime listening to his soft yet heartwarming words.

"Preeta.answer me you won't leave me right?tum rahogi na mere saath.And one more thing is I will not interfere with my past again.Past is past and I don't want to talk about that because I know it will lead to another way and I don't want that to happen from now.Will start with a square one.tell me please"he asked her in a pleading tone melting her heart.

She looked at him innocently noticing his expressions.his eyes which were reflecting his words as if he was pleading her through his eyes.

She lowered her eyes to see his hands holding her gently warming her.She understood what he wanted to say.She understood his situation that he still in a confusion.But his words had a weightage in them informing her that he wants her to give a chance for a fresh start.

She didn't know whether he was talking indirectly about their marriage or not.But she got to know that he wants her to be with him.

And what else her loving heart longed for.His presence in her life.she was okay with anything related to him.Looking into his eyes she felt his words were true amd he mean them.She felt her heart beat raising by now in his hold.

He had just cleared her.He even said that he doesn't want to talk about his past and wants to come out from that.she knew the past is past no one can change that.some may have pasts and we cannot decide them with that.She thought and looked at him.

"Tell me..will you be my friend..again?"he asked looking into her eyes directly and held her hands tightly.

Her body felt his warmth and the depth of every word he had spoken today.She was too surprised and didn't even imagine in her dreams that he came her for her to talk about this.

But wait what did he say? friends.

"I don't want to be your friend Again..If You remember we were best friends and I don't want to be with the one who doesn't even remember me as a friend"she said feeling angry again.

They were best friends and how can he say that to be friends again.How can he forgot that all.she remembers every single day of their childhood days from her knowledge.

"I didn't mean that.I remember everything.many things have changed till now.Agar saath mein rehna hai toh ek dusre ko samjhna chahiye right?"he asked nervously.

Preeta felt like she would faint anytime listening to his words.She gulped and looked at him confusingly not able to digest his so called mature words.

"Karan..you aren't drunk right?"she question him blinking her eyes.his words were affecting her and she wanted to make sure whether he is in his right State or not.

"What?"he asked widening his eyes.

"I mean tum aise baat kar rahe ho.I can't believe"she signed normally as if his words didn't affect her.

"Tum.. seriously preeta tumhe lagta hai mein.leave it was my fault to tell you my heart out.Yaha mein tumhe sach keh raha hu aur tum mere bare mein aise soch rahi ho"he said furrowing his eyebrows.He annoyingly left her hand which he was holding and saw her making angry pout.

She raised her eyebrows seeing his face and looked away ignoring him.

"Toh kyu keh rahe the..Meine pehle hi tumse kaha ki mujhe tumse koi baat nahi karni hai"she said moving towards her bed.

Karan saw her and was annoyed seeing her I_don't_care reaction.He explained and made her understand everything he wanted to but she didn't gave any response to him rather than that she made fun of him.

Don't I sound serious?he thought feeling dejected.

"Fine,meine tumhe jo bhi kaha hai woh meine seriously kaha hai.think about it,I am going"saying looked at her but she acted as if she didn't heard him while correcting her bed sheet.

"Bye"he muttered waiting for her response.

"Bye"she said sitting on her bed.

He didn't say anything and moved towards the door.preeta looked at him and looked away.she was about to lie down that her eyes went to the clock and she widened her eyes realising it was 11:00 pm.

Within a sec she got up and ran towards him who was about to open the door.

"Karan,wait"she called him from behind.

He looked at her confusingly and turned to her who was behind him.

"What?"he asked her.

"Wo..tum nahi ja sakte"she said raising her eyebrows.

"Kyu..kyu nahi ja sakta?"he asked her confusingly.

"It's 11'O clock aur tum iss time pe bahar nahi ja sakte"she stated nervously thinking how to make him understand.

"Toh kya hua?it's just 11,I can go"he frowned.

"Arey nahi ja sakte tum,mom dad abhi tak nahi so rahe honge agar tumhe dekhliya jate hue toh it won't look good aur tumhare ghar pe bhi kya sochenge..toh tum aaj yahi so jao aur. Kal chale jana"she said in one tone making him stunned.

"Oh god!usme kya hai..koi kuch nahi sochenga tum kyu itna tension le rahe ho,aisa kuch nahi hai"he informed her calmly.

"Agar tumhe yaad hai toh hamari shaadi hui thi..I mean Hui hai 3 mahine pehle,toh agar tum yaha se bhar gaye toh woh yeh sochenge ge ke ham dono ka jaghada hua hai.tum samjh rahe ho mein kya keh rahi hu ya fir aur explaination du ?"she glaring at him.

He understood her meaning behind her words and made 'ohh' face nodding at her.

"Toh tum chahti ho mein tumhare saath Aaj yahi so jau?"he asked and lifted his eyebrows at her.

"Meine kaha yaha so jao..ye nahi kaha ke mere saath so jao"she pointed.

"Ohh I know"saying he came and sat on her bed.

"Oye Mr it's my bed"she warned keeping her hands on her waist.

"I know that..toh tumne hi kaha mein yaha so jau toh so Raha hu..abb tumhare room mein couch nahi hai toh mein kya karu?"he said looking around.

"Toh kya hua..tum mere bed pe nahi so rahe that's it.me jab tumhare room mein thi toh yahi kaha tha tumne"she said angrily

"Nahi..meine Aisa kuch nahi kaha..I let you sleep on my bed agar tumhe yaad hai toh"he reminded her.

She narrowed eyes shooting draggers at him.

"Haan lekin mein yahi ki nahi waha ki baat kar rahi hu..tumne mujhe kitna.."he stood up from the bed and stopped her keeping his palm on her mouth.

"Please uske baare mein baat mat karna..I had cleared you mein woh sab repeat nahi karunga.Just forget about that"he said assuring her through his eyes.

She instantly pushed him on the bed furiously listening to him.while he fell on the bed shockingly and got scared seeing her actions.

"Tum sab kehte ho lekin woh nahi kehte.aur tumhe itna ego hai ki tum ek 'sorry' bhi nahi puch sakte.mein bhi sun Rahi hu bas yahi kehte ho ki mein repeat nahi karunga.Lekin ek sorry nahi puch sakte tum.kaise ho tum haan?Lekin iska matlab ye nahi ki mein sab bhul jaungi remember mein tumhe maafi nahi dungi..kabhi nahi"she narrowed her eyes at him anxiously.

He gulped seeing her Anger and realised his mistake.He slowly sat on the bed earning a glare from her and stood up to face her.

"I..I am sorry"he apologized.

She looked away and moved away from him going to the other side of the bed.He gulped and followed her.

"Preeta"he held her arm stopping her and made her face him.

"Kya hai"she asked feeling irritated.

"I am sorry,please don't mind"he said and looked at her pissed face.

"Tum rehne do karan,I don't mind at all.Tum jaise bhi raho,kuch bhi Karolo i don't mind, now sleep that side and let me sleep,I am tired" saying she sat on the bed jerking his hand.

He looked at her sadly.He scolded himself for not apologizing to her properly.

He took a step back and went towards her window.

"Kya kar rahe ho so jao.I will switch off the lights"she said looking at him as he was about to open the window.

"Me..mein woh window se chala jaunga.kisiko pata nahi chalega"he said meekly.

Her eyes widened and she stood up flaring her nose.

He won't let me live peacefully.

"Tum pagal ho,aisa kuch nahi karoge..just come and sleep there"she scolded him seeing his stunt.

"I can go it's no too deep"he showed her downwards.

She glared at him and closed her eyes with her palms.

"Oh god karan. please I am so tired chup chap aake so jao.aur agar ye soch rahe ho ki mujhe tumare saath so na hai toh aisa bilkul bhi nahi hai.mein bas hamre parents ke wajeh se keh rahi hu hope you understand and just sleep without eating my head"she made him clear and pushed him back closing the window.

He without answering went towards her bed silently.It was getting difficult for him to be there as she didn't leave any chance to blame everything on him.

She sat on her side and glared at him.He made a straight face and sat beside her with a good distance between them.

She took the pillows and kept them in between them whereas he was feeling annoyed with her behaviour.

Can't she talk normally?He thought with a angry pout looking at her kneely as she was arranging the pillows.

Without saying anything she lay down covering herself with the blanket till her shoulder facing her back to him.

Meanwhile he narrowed his eyes at her and layed down silently facing her back.

She was angry and was hurt.His apologize and his attempts to talk to her made her a little calm and but it doesn't mean that she would forgive him easily.He should know how it feels when someone ignores.

Noting this to herself she closed her eyes trying to sleep because her heart was racing feeling him beside her.He was at a good distance still it was her subconscious mind that was reminding his presence and it was enough for her to feel the goosebumps in nervousness and that is the another reason she was not facing him.

Meanwhile it was difficult for him to sleep there as it was different place and specially beside her.He gulped seeing her and shut his eyes hoping for a good sleep.
