85.The night
Song for today's chapter 👆❤️🎶🎵.
Readers are so quick when I give target and it hurts 😐. Anyways let's get back to the chapter 🫠.
Preeta:🙃
~
Sun rays pierced through their window breaking Karan's sleep and he meekly opened his eyes only to see his wife's face right infront of him.
Hair caressing her face and she looked sweet to his eyes.Unknowingly he lifted his hand to tuck her hair aside and smiled slightly.He loved the way she was sleeping in his embrace.He felt his heart racing at the touch of her legs tangled with his and her arm around his waist.
Then his gaze went on her lips causing him to take his hand back from her face and turn his face away from her.He can't lose his control seeing her beautiful face.He can't give up that easily without making her realise her mistake.
Quickly sitting on the bed he ruffled his hair and corrected them.Sliding the blanket aside he got up from the bed before glancing at her sleeping figure.
And when Preeta's sleep broke it was nine in the morning.She slept more because of the tablets effect and felt like she had a best sleep in the week.A cheerful smile crept her lips seeing her husband standing in the balcony.
She felt all fine but slight weakness was there but she knew it would too will go soon.Getting off the bed she walked towards him and rested her head on his back startling him.
"Preeta"he gasped suddenly feeling her presence.
"Good morning"She wished him in her sleepy voice.
"Tum yaha kyu aayi ho.Go and sleep.Tum abhi thik nahi hui ho"He said turning towards her.She smiled looking at him and shook her head.
"I am fine.Mein thik hogayi"She said blinking her eyes.
"No way! tum phele andar aao.Doctor ne kaha hai tumhe rest karna chahiye do din keliye"He said taking her inside and closed the door of balcony causing her to pout.
"Tum abb uth gayi ho toh fresh up hoke aao.Your breakfast is ready.Usse khake fir so Jana and take leave for three days"Karan commanded her.
"Mein thik hu Karan.Mein teen din kyu lu.Sirf aaj lungi kal tak mein completely thik ho jaungi"She argued.
"Meine kaha na ki teen din lo, I want you all fine and please no discussion over this.Tum fresh up hoke aa jao bahar jaldi"He informed her and walked outside the room causing her to frown.
Another half an hour Karan was shown scolding her to eat properly and she was making faces to eat the plain and tasteless liquid.
"Mujhe kuch taste hi nahi lag raha, I don't want to eat this .Kuch tasty do khane ko"She whined placing the bowl on the table.
"You are not fine toh aise hi lagega.Lekin khana toh padega.Now have it please.Don't make me to make you eat forcefully"He warned while having his breakfast.
She huffed and started to have it with a difficulty.She could see him glancing at her again and again which made her eat quickly.
"Tum bhi aaj ghar mein rahoge?"She asked him excitedly.
"Noo.I can't stay.Project ke bare mein discussion hai aaj.I can't skip it.Moreover I am late today and it's fine"He informed facing her.
"Okay!"Preeta nodded lowering her head feeling sad.what she is going to do alone at home.She pouted gloomily.
"But mein afternoon tumhe call karunga tab tum lunch karogi and also the medicines.The only work you have is to sleep for two days"Karan said, like an order.
She widened her eyes and mouth in shock.She fell unconscious what and he is here after her to make her eat time to time.
"Okay! But please Maria ko bolo ki kuch tasty banaye mein ye nahi khaungi.I am fine see"She requested narrowing her eyes.
"Fine.You will eat different porridge"Karan said and Preeta furrowed her eyebrows shaking her head in no with a cry baby face.
"You have no other option when you herself welcomed your illness"Karan said and got up from the chair to get ready for his work.
Preeta followed him and sat on the bed watching him as he got ready.He looked so handsome and she sat drooling over him falling for him all over again.
"Bye, take care"he said and she stood up to reach him.
"Karan!"she called causing him to turn back.He didn't say a proper bye to her which pained her.It was dry and emotionless.
Walking towards him she gave a small smile and hugged him.
"Come soon"she whispered and lifted her head back to look at him.
Whereas karan leaned to kiss her forehead but stopped remembering her words and closed his eyes before smiling at her slightly.
"Bye"He said moving away from her and walked outside.
But Preeta stood there with moist eyes and chuckled painfully.She knew he was talking to her because she was ill.He was just taking care of her.She can see the hurt and pain in his eyes, in his expressions, in his emotionless words.
She knew she was being selfish taking advantage of her situation but she can't help when it was the only reason he was being nice with her.Also she thought it was her right to do anything to get him back like before.
She wanted to say many things but she was not able to say looking at him feeling guilty for her behaviour.Her worst behaviour.But she was determined to make him smile with her.Genuinely.
.
.
She spent her day while sleeping and eating properly like her husband had ordered her.It was evening and she felt actually fine.
She was waiting for him to return but she knew he was going to arrive at night which made her sad.But an idea popped in her mind and she dialled his number while rolling on the bed.
But soon her smile turned into pout when he didn't recieved her calls.She huffed and slept on her stomach while gazing at the phone screen.
"Jaldi aao Karan"she mumbled feeling alone.
It was 7:45 in the night when Karan arrived and Preeta was surprised to see him early today unlike his previous days.
"How was your day?"She asked as soon as he entered the room and threw his blazer on the bed.
"Good.How are you feeling now?"he asked heading towards his wardrobe to take his clothes.
"I am fine"Preeta replied with a sad smile.She lowered her head as he entered inside the washroom.
Karan saw her sitting on the bed while thinking something deep.He sighed and asked her,
"What are you thinking? Dinner karenge aao.I am hungry"he called, gaining her attention.
She shook her head and stood up with a nod.Following him she sat beside him and looked at him longingly.He felt far even he was beside her.She felt ignored even though he was talking to her.He words and actions were no more lovable.
"I am sorry Karan"She muttered staring at him blankly.Her head was throbbing in guilt.
He snapped at her and furrowed his eyebrows asking her for what?
"Why?"He asked causally as if her apology didn't felt serious to him.
"For everything, for my every mistake"She said gloomily and lowered her head not able to meet his eyes.
"You have already said that and I have even listened to everything if you remember"He said shaking his head.
"I am serious karan.I am guilty for what I did"she said and her nose was all red in anger.She didn't know how to explain him she was guilty and ashamed of herself.
"Meine tumhe maaf kiya hai already.Now have your dinner properly and silently"He said resuming his dinner.He didn't want to listen to her any apology.He wanted her to trust him and she never said that word till now.
Preeta gulped her tears back and completed her dinner in silence like he wanted.Karan too didn't intitiated any conversation.He wanted to take care of her and he was doing that.
"Tum so jao, I have some work to complete"He said as she laid on the bed to sleep taking her medicines.
"Okay"She hummed and laid on her left side looking at his back from distance.He felt so far to her despite being in a single room.
When Karan came to the bed to sleep after an hour he found her still awake.She looked at him sadly.
"Tum abhi tak soyi nahi ho! Kyu?"He asked before laying on his side.
"I don't know.Neend nahi aa rahi hai"She replied and lay on her back staring at the ceiling.If her heart was beating in the fear of loosing him how can she sleep peacefully.
"Close your eyes and sleep"He suggested to her and she chuckled painfully at his suggestion without his notice.
"Hm.Good night"She said and closed her eyes trying to sleep.
"Good night"He mumbled and slept turning his back to her.
Preeta opened her eyes after another half an hour still not feeling sleepy.She tried to sleep but she was not able to when he was beside her but still away from her.
She was not able to handle that.Not caring about his reaction, she again shifted close to him and meekly placed her arm around his trouse.When he didn't react she got to know he was asleep.So she shifted her head on his back and snuggled in his neck to feel him close.
Right then she wanted peace of mind to sleep and she took it.He was her happy place and she badly needed it after missing him for a whole day.
.
.
In the morning Karan was shocked to see her sleeping on his stomach.Her head was laying on his stomach and her lower body on the bed.Her both hands were wrapped around him as if her life was dependent on him and she didn't wanted to leave him.
He was extremely astonished seeing her sleeping like a baby on him.Her breath tickled his skin and he held her hand slightly removing her hold on him.
Meekly holding her head he tried to place her on the bed but she snuggled in his stomach more causing him to groan.She was doing something inappropriate and he couldn't take it.
"Preeta bed pe so jao, utho"He called shaking her slightly.She shook her head when he forcefully lifted her head.
"Mmm.Noo"she groaned with closed eyes and this time leaned more to sleep near his neck causing him to raise his chin making place for her.
"God Preeta.Kya kar rahi ho"He shut his eyes at her actions.She was making him weak and he didn't want to reciprocate.He knew she was still in her sleep but he didn't wanted to feel this.
But poor her, she was just sleeping on him without knowing what effect she had on him.He held her shoulder and tried to wake her up.
But she kept snuggling in his neck tracing her nose on his skin testing his patience.Not able to tolerate he meekly flipped their position and made her lay on the bed.Her sleep got broke and she blinked her eyes before opening them to see him staring at her.
She gulped and looked into his eyes coming out of her sleep land.She could see him looking at her, intensely and that was enough for her heart to skip a beat.Damn she missed looking into his eyes.
Her eyes flickered to his lips and she took a deep breath before slightly leaning towards them loosing in the moment.He noticed her gaze and the urge to kiss her was so strong.He too leaned decreasing the distance between their lips.
She closed her eyes when they were inches apart and this hit him hard.He clenched his fist and came back to senses.She opened her eyes not feeling anything only to see him away from her.
Kiss is the reason for everything!
Her heart broke into millions peices.He denied to kiss her.He didn't want to do that.She felt unwanted.
She heard the bathroom door which he closed making sound and she knew he was angry.May be at himself for going with the flow.
A drop of tear rolled down her eyes but she quickly wiped it.She realised he will act this way from now and her tears will not affect him because if she is the one who made him hurt and she is the one to cry seeing him ignoring her.
This can't happen right?
She should win his love back.She should win his trust back.She should show him that she trusts him.She should show him how much she loves him and want him.She has to take care of him like he does and much more.
She sat on the bed and nodded her head.She can't let him stay angry at her anymore.He should forget that and love her like before.She wanted her husband back.
~
Preeta was shown writing a note on the paper and she pasted it on the bouquet with a smile.She placed it on the bed and ran out of room.She was tried of saying hundreds of sorries to him and they were of no use.
She ran inside the kitchen acting do the dinner waiting for him to react something.
Whereas on the other side when Karan came out of the room after taking shower his eyes fell on the bouquet of roses laying on the bed.
He ruffled his hair and took it to see a note pasted on it.He held it and read,
I am sorry :-(. please forgive me.I trust you and love you so much.
He closed his eyes seeing it and placed it back on the bed while heading outside.He looked at her in the kitchen and picked a bottle to drink water.
"I don't like roses"Saying he walked out of the kitchen causing her to frown.
"Aur woh kab se?"She yelled back.
"The moment you gave"He replied walking towards the living room and layed on the sofa ignoring her further words.
~
Karan graoned listening to the songs which she was recently listening.They were all conveying her situation and asking for forgiveness.He wanted to throw the speaker and switch it off.
But he didn't want to give any response to her so he ignored whatever she was doing and stayed unaffected.
Preeta pouted with a cry baby face and threw the remote on the bed in anger.
~
Karan please come to pick me in the evening.Will have the dinner outside please please.
He sighed seeing her message and placed his phone back on the bed.Before her actions were making him angry but now it felt good for him to see her efforts.The way she was behind him like he did before.
He didn't forget what she did but still it was fun to see her craving for his attention and he wanted more from her.
And like he had decided he didn't reply to her message nor to receive her calls.He rejected them and continued his work.
But in the evening he was shocked to see her in his office.She barged inside his cabin and directly held his hand pulling him up.
"Preeta.What the hell"he yelled looking at her.
"Tumne dekha nahi meine message Kiya tha.How can you do this karan.So mein hi agayi.now come on hum dinner karne ja rahe hai"Preeta said dragging him forward.
He took his hand back and glared at her.
"I am not coming.I have work to do.Tum jao ghar"He said walking back to his desk.
"Fine.Agar tum nahi aa rahe toh mein bhi ghar nahi jaungi"She fumed sitting there on the chair.
"your wish"saying he continued his work trying to ignore her presence.
Preeta too didn't moved from her seat.She sat using her phone occasionally glancing and glaring at him.
He was getting disturbed by her presence and ended his work after another half an hour.
"I am going home"he said and stood up grabbing his bag.
"Toh mein yahi rahu?"She deadpanned.
"Your wish"He mumbled walking forward and she furrowed her eyebrows while following him.
"Tumhara car kaha hai?"He asked and she pointed towards it in the parking lot.
"Toh usse leke aao.Mere saath kyu khadi ho"Karan said while sitting inside.
"Tum kal leke aao, mein tumhare saath hi aaungi.We are having dinner outside and that's final"She said coming to the other side.
"No, tum car leke aao apna.I am going"He said giving life to the engine.
"Karannn!open the door"Preeta yelled trying to open the door but it was locked from inside.
But he ignored her and shook his head in no.
"Tumhare car yahi reh jayenge usse leke aao yaar.why are you behaving like a child?"He said annoyingly.
And it made her hurt.She wanted to go with him.He sighed when she turned and walked towards her car.He knew she was hurt but she too did the same with him.
She sat inside her car and closed the door.Wiping her tears she controlled her pain and anger both before kicking off the engine.
He waited till she reached the main road and drove behind her.He can't take risk letting her come behind him.He followed her till they reached the house.
~
Preeta wiped her tears and started throwing everything whatever came to her hand.She was frustrated, angry and also in pain.The pain of not getting his attention even though she tried too many things to get her forgiveness.
He was talking with her but there was no life in them.He was sleeping with her but never tried to touch her.He was just taking care of her so that she shouldn't skip her dinner and fall ill.
How can he not notice her efforts.This time she didn't even complain or showed that his harsh words affected her.She kept on smiling and behaving like a creep clinging and talking to him forcefully.
She did something new but he never noticed, if he noticed he didn't reacted anything.If she said something, his reply were in a one word or a harsh one.Still she went behind him showing him that she was trying to repent for her mistake.
But no he still didn't give any heed to her.She tried everything.His favorite dishes from breakfast to dinner.She tried to initiate conversation, she tried getting close to him, hold his hand while sitting, hug him, tried to kiss him but he moved back right on her face making her embarassed.
She still didn't leave her hopes.What more should she try? What she should do to get him back.She didn't know.She was hell angry at herself for saying those words to him.
Her head was bursting and it was getting difficult for her to act normal.She wanted him like before, she was missing him badly, his touch, his sweet kisses, his loveable words, his intense gazes, his husband vibes, his handsome smile and everything.It was killing her from inside.
She didn't know about him but it was unbearable for her.She clutched her hair while wailing hard.Why can't he forgive her? Was it that easy for him to stay away from her for eight days.She cried remembering his words when he came to her home saying he was missing her.
Is he not missing me now?
Don't he want to stay close to me?
Don't he feel like talking to me anymore?
Was my mistake made him that hurt?
Did I do any crime by saying those words?
She doesn't even properly remember what all she said, she was angry at that moment that she yelled useless and she was realising it now.But she can't take them back.She was apologising like mad and was that not enough?
She said she won't repeat and what more he wanted? She didn't got what he was upto?
Is he thinking of staying like this for a lifetime for my mistake?
Don't he loves me anymore? How can he hurt me that much with his words when I ran behind him like a puppy to ask my forgiveness.
She thought gritting her teeth and threw her mobile on the floor as it started ringing.She just wanted him.She was getting mad with his behaviour.
She felt like crying infront of him saying the same but every time she controlled thinking she can't take advantage of her tears.She should genuinely try to gain his forgiveness.
But what she was getting in return?
Nothing!
What more should I do?
What else?
She kept thinking while clutching the pillow.She didn't knew what he was expecting from her and waiting for the right moment to forgive her.
She didn't even know whether he wanted to do that or no.Her poor heart was so scared to lose him.
She cried more remembering their sweet moments.He was so sweet and lovable.He didn't leave any chance to make her feel loved and she was missing it.
She remembered the last time they were in eachother embrace sitting in the swing getting all cosy.She could feel their numerable kisses and his addictive touch on her skin.They were so happy and she ruined everything the next day.
He was confessing his desires and she crushed it.Remembering it her cries stopped and she gulped her tears remembering his words.
I crave for you, I want you Preeta..
Can I?
You don't want to proceed yet?
"I want to"She wiped her tears and heaved a sigh of breath.
"You can't ignore me this time.I am ready to take the next step.I am ready to be yours in every sense karan.I won't bear if you push me away this time"She whispered controlling her emotions and stood up to do what her heart and mind suggested her.
~
She never thought to decorate their bed.Her heart beat was racing at it's highest feeling nervous.She still managed to do everything she had planned and wanted to.
Taking a deep breath she bit her lower lip while lighting the scented candles here and there making the environment to turn all romantic.She smiled removing all the negativity from her mind.
It has to happen one day then why not today? She knew it was a sudden decision but she was okay with it.She was ready for it and it was creating a giddy feeling inside her belly.
She didn't know about his reaction.But she had a hope that he won't hurt her this time.Related to this matter.She cannot bear if he rejects her.But her heart was giving her a positive sign that he won't do that.He can't do that.
She was feeling so shy and embarrassed to initiate.She didn't know if any wife did this or not.She was feeling strange but it was a beautiful feeling.Other part of her said what if she is a wife? She can give surprise to her husband and she thought to go for it.She loves him and wants to be his.There is nothing in that.
She kept saying to herself gaining courage to face him.She didn't know what she is going to tell him? She was so shy to confess but also she was determined to say.
Biting her lips she closed her eyes seeing her decoration.It wasn't too odd.It was enough for her to feel the things when he would be near her.
He usually came home by 8:30 or 9 these days and it was 8:15 right then.She gulped down her throat and smiled sheepishly.
It was getting difficult for her to digest that she did all this.what he may think of her.where is the naive and shy Preeta went? She didn't know about that, honestly.
Closing the door behind her meekly she walked towards the living room and sat on the sofa playing with her fingers.She tightened the knot of her night wear she was wearing.
Oh no!
Did I forget to inform about her dress.She was wearing a red coloured two piece satin nighty.Don't ask her from where she gained this courage!.She wanted to make it perfect and followed whatever she searched about it in the internet.
She shook her head stopping herself from calling him.Her thumb was running towards the green icon but she controlled feeling hell nervous.What she was supposed to tell him?
That she was ready for..
Hell no..
Shaking her head she bit her lower lip and waited for him till it was 8:30 pm.Her giddiness increased and she kept saying herself that everything will be fine.
When he didn't showed up till 9:15 she frowned and took her phone to call him.She gulped when he received the call and his voice made her shiver.
"Bolo"He said from the other side.
"kaha ho?"She enquired meekly.
"Kyu mujhe lene aaogi kya?"She heard him say in annoyingly.
"Karan batao please kab aaoge"She asked ignoring his comment.
"I won't come soon, mein friends ke saath hu bahar"his reply made her stun.
"What do you mean by you won't come?"Preeta asked further feeling uneasy.
"God aa jaunga yaar.kitna question puchogi.I am busy bye now"Saying he hung up the call.
Preeta gazed at her screen being numb.Tears were about to leak through her eyes, but she controlled them feeling angry.She shouldn't cry anymore and she decided that.
Taking a deep breath she looked at herself and chuckled faintly.She felt like there was no forgiveness for her and she lost him.He can't talk to her like that.She just wanted to know where he was.She was waiting for him.
"My bad!"She chuckled painfully and stood up from there.She was about to enter the decorated room that her eyes fell on the bottle which she kept on the dining table.She had decorated the dining table too.It was looking so beautiful with candles and flowers.
Making her way to the dining table she picked a jug of water and started to pour water on the candles with a smile on her face.Throwing the petals on the floor she sat on the chair and took the bottle of wine.She laughed at her efforts.
She thought she was not made to give surprises.She should have thought before planning everything because whenever she tried to do something for him she was the one who got hurt.She realised it today.
Sitting comfortably on the chair lifting her legs she opened the lid of the bottle and took a sip.It was needed for her to burn the pain settling inside her heart.Not to cry remembering his harsh words.To make herself strong to deal with whatever happening between them.
Gulping her tears back she was slipping the wine silently.Her mind was blank not knowing what to do so this felt her best escape.She wanted an escape from his ignorance and hate.
After taking two to three sips she stood up from there not feeling good.Walking towards the their room she looked at the efforts she did.The candles were burning and the dim light of the room made her heart heavy.
What all she had thought and what was happening? She entered the room and smiled faintly.Taking some step ahead holding the bottle in her hands she bent and blew the first candle, followed by second, third and all the candles she had lighted.The room was dark except the dim light in the room.
She giggled staring at the bed covered with rose petals.She chuckled at the 'sorry' she had carved on the bed with roses.He doesn't want her sorry.She was about to ruin that but stopped shaking her head in no.
He should see her efforts.she thought.Atleast he should feel he made her hurt with his words today.She was just asking him about his whereabouts and he over reacted.She knew he was angry but can't he forgot that?
It's been many days.
She slid to the floor and sat leaning her head on the bed.She gazed at the bottle in her hand with moist eyes,
"Pehle bhi tunhari wajeh se hi aur abhi bhi tumhari wajeh se hi"She chuckled painfully before taking another sip and closed her eyes leaning back on the bed.
"Oh karan.I hate you"she mumbled while smiling trying to control her tears.She didn't want to cry more.
Another fifteen minutes passed and she was still talking to no one while occasionally sipping the wine.She didn't waited for him now she got to know that he won't come and she lost the interest too.
What made her disheartened is he never saw her efforts.She smiled rubbing her head on the bed getting sober.
On the other side Karan who entered inside the house.He removed his shoes and sighed seeing the time.It was 9:40 and he knew Preeta must be angry.Specially listening to his words.
But he was too busy in finding an old document and her words made him just annoyed at that moment.He lied to her saying he was with friends wanting to make her more pissed.He was taking his revenge but now he gulped feeling something strange.He was surprised not seeing her.She always came to the living room listening to the sound knowing he was up.
Jerking his thoughts he walked ahead and was about to enter their room that his eyes fell on the dining table.His eye brows furrowed in confusion seeing the rose petals on the floor and some on the table, the candles and water laying around.
He gulped shaking his head praying it shouldn't be what he was thinking.She can't plan dinner date.He nodded to himself even though he got to know what it was.
"Preeta"He called not wasting any time and opened the door of their room only to get shocked.He couldn't believe his own eyes what he was seeing.
The room was almost dark and he immediately switched on the light.And first which caught his attention was the bed which was covered with red roses not only that.
I am sorry
Was written on it with petals.His was all stunned seeing the decorated room.But she was nowhere to be found.
"Preeta"he called her with a fear in his heart wanting to see her soon.
She jerked hearing his voice and hiccuped detaching the wine bottle from her lips.She realised he was here and a chuckle left her lips.
"Karannnn"she shouted in her drunken voice and he instantly ran towards the source of the voice.She was on the other side of the bed.
His eyes widened like a saucer seeing her sitting on the floor with a bottle of wine in her hands.She giggled looking at him whereas he ran towards her and snatched the bottle from her hands.
"What the hell are you doing? you are fucking Insane preeta"
