The party.

CHAPTER: 13

|•|

Swara.

"Hey, Nita, what's up?" I heard Uttara chirping from the veranda. Nita? I have heard this name somewhere. But---

"After you got a job, you forgot me and Bhai, right?" I could hear Uttara complaining to that stranger. Now, who was this girl related to Sanskar? Anyways, she was our guest. I needed to prepare tea for her.

"Nita, what a pleasant surprise? Where were you girl? How much I missed us? Thank God! Madam took so much time for showing her face to me." Sanskar?! What the hell. Why the hell he was behaving like this to a girl. Seriously--- Missed her? Then why didn't he married her!? Huh.

I hurried and made the tea. How much my hands were itching to mix that dishwasher into the tea. Swara! Manners. Okay! Now be a good girl and serve this tea.

By humming my favourite song, I went to the dining hall. The tea set slipped from my hand and fell into the floor. It was broken into pieces, like my heart. Oh my!! What am I seeing? God!! My own husband was hugging his ex-girlfriend. What a fate I have.

By hearing the sound, everyone turned to me. Everyone means, Uttara, Sanskar and that Nita! Others were gone for attending a marriage function. I wish, mom was there with me. How am I going to deal with her? Even after troubling me so much, how dare she enter into my house? Swara, listen, be strong. You should face her just like the way how you did a few months back. I trained myself.

"Swara, what happened? Are you alright?" Uttara was so concerned about me. I could see a smirk twisting Nita's lips. Urg! The nerve of that girl.

"Swara, you should be careful naa. You know, you have just entered this house as the daughter in law. You shouldn't be breaking things like this. It isn't the trait of a good daughter in law." Sarcasm, hatred, vengeance! I could see all those in her eyes. Her eyes were sparkling as if she would burn me into ashes Little did she know, I was the sleet in disguise.

"Mom had always warned you not to enter the kitchen, right? Why the hell can't you even obey her. Look at you now. What have you done to yourself! Call Suresh and ask him to clean the mess." Sanskar ordered and the smirk crept her lips once more. Urg! But wait!! Why didn't Sanskar shouted at me? Maybe he was in front of his sister and ex-girlfriend. Who cared.

I called Suresh immediately and asked him to clean the mess. I could see, Nita and Sanskar ascending to his room. Now, why the hell she was here? In college, Sanskar was in love with her. But after, they had a mutual breakup. Still, it was a mystery to all. Why did they break up?

She knew that I have liked Sanskar. Earlier, she had blackmailed me so much because of that. But as I was Swara Gadodia, I ignored her. But when our marriage was fixed, she called me and asked me to back off from the wedding. But I stood straight and married Sanskar. I don't know, why she asked me to do so. Maybe, she was still in love with him. But I was so confused because of her behaviour.

Anyways, leave it. I was going to attend a party tonight. I was in that excitement. Mom has selected a dress for me. I was going to wear it. Even it was the first official party after our wedding.

Where was my mobile? I needed to call Sahil. God! It was in Sanskar's room. I felt awkward to go inside even when it belonged to me. Nothing! Nita had a bad vibe always. Without knocking the door, I entered the room. Oh my! Nita was crying in Sanskar's arms. Wow!! Bingo! Naah, I wasnt jealous. I was just hurt.

I coughed and they recognised my presence. I could see Nita smirking at me. God!! I wasn't interested in them. So please, that wouldn't affect me.

"Can't you at least knock?" How dare she! It was my room. I was the daughter in law of this house. And she, a bloody--

"Swara, do you need anything?" Sanskar interpreted her and asked. His voice was soft. I looked at him without any expression. I was done with all this humiliation. I swear, after this party, I was going to my house.

"Nothing, I just came for taking my mobile," I replied straightly looking into his eyes. I took the phone and rushed outside. I don't want to be a pest in their lovely moments.

It was evening. Still, Nita was here. I think she was going to accompany us to the party. Who cares. I have called Sahil and informed him about everything. He replied not to take any decision in haste.

We reached the venue. Thank God, Nita wasnt there with us. She said that she had an important meeting to attend. I entered the venue. I could see flashes of lights coming from every angle. Reporters were looking at me as if I was their prey. It was really suffocating to me. Even when, I was the daughter of Shekhar Gadodia, I wasnt in the headlines at all. But now, things have changed. I was the wife of the top businessman in India, who won't come in front of the media unnecessarily. That's why now they were looking at me as prey.

I felt a strong grip on my waist. Oh my! Sanskar was holding me against the media. I felt happy inside. He bought me inside the hall. Everyone was looking at us and murmuring.

"Congrats Mr & Mrs Maheshwari." I could hear it from every corner. We smiled at them and walked inside. Soon he left me and went towards his clients without uttering me a word.

I was looking at everywhere. At last, I found my colleagues and went to them. They were boasting about Sanskar. God!! I have come to the wrong place.

"Now, let's welcome Mrs Maheshwari to sing a song." The anchor announced. What the hell. Do I need to sing? Urg! Everyone was cheering for me. I looked around for Sanskar. But he was so busy talking to his clients.

I ascended the steps and went to the stage. It was night and the lights were off. Everyone was looking at me. I started singing what came into my mind.

"Right from the start
You were a thief, you stole my heart
And I your willing victim
I let you see the parts of me, that weren't all that pretty
And with every touch you fixed them
Now you've been talking in your sleep oh oh
Things you never say to me oh oh
Tell me that you've had enough
Of our love, our love

Just give me a reason, just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent, and we can learn to love again
It's in the stars, it's been written in the scars on our hearts
We're not broken just bent, and we can learn to love again

I'm sorry I don't understand
Where all of this is coming from
I thought that we were fine (Oh we had everything)
Your head is running wild again
My dear we still have everythin'
And it's all in your mind (Yeah but this is happenin')
You've been havin' real bad dreams oh oh
You used to lie so close to me oh oh
There's nothing more than empty sheets between our love, our love
Oh oh our love, our love.
Just give me a reason, just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent and we can learn to love again
I never stop, you're still written in the scars on my heart
You're not broken just bent and we can learn to love again
Oh tear ducts and rust
I'll fix it for us
We're collecting dust, but our love's enough
You're holding it in
You're pouring a drink
No nothing is as bad as it seems
We'll come clean
Just give me a reason just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent and we can learn to love again
It's in the stars, it's been written in the scars on our hearts
That we're not broken just bent and we can learn to love again
Just give me a reason, just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent, and we can learn to love again
It's in the stars, it's been written in the scars on our hearts
That we're not broken just bent, and we can learn to love again
Oh we can learn to love again
Oh we can learn to love again oh oh
Oh that we're not broken just bent and we can learn to love again"

I ended the lyrics. Each and every nerve inside my body was screaming Sanskar's name. I don't understand the alien feeling engrossing ny heart. It wasnt leaving me in peace. I saw Sanskar looking at me. His eyes were filled with some emotions. What were they?

Soon we reached our house. Mom has called me and said that they will be staying at the wedding resort itself. It was heavy raining and the roads were blocked because of that. I and Sanskar were only there in the house. Uttara had gone for a sleepover at her best friend's house.

If not today, I can never get a chance to confront Sanskar. By gathering all my courage, I went to his room. He was doing something on his laptop.

"Sanskar, I need to talk." I tried to start a conversation. I really can't stand it anymore. If he can't answer my questions today, I'm going to my house tomorrow. And that was final.

"We have nothing to talk, Mrs Maheshwari." His voice was dangerously calm. And that frightened me. No! I can't give up. I need to get my answers.

"We have Mr Maheshwari. We have so many things to talk about." I harshly crossed him. How dare he. He was playing with my life. Why the hell, now he was silent?

"Sanskar, I'm talking to you," I stated and he stood silent again. He was typing something on the laptop. That's it! My patience!

"Fuck yourself, Sanskar!" I closed the laptop rigidly and stood in front of him. I could feel his heated gaze at me. I don't care.

"You bitch! How dare you? Yes, I have been a little nice to you. That doesn't mean that you can do whatever you want. Don't try to question me ever." He hissed. He was looking at me deadly.

"I will question you, again. What will you do? Okay, come, slap me. Pull my hairs and hit me. I don't care." I was all ready to have a  fight. I wasnt going to leave him today.

"Swara, you are gonna regret it badly." He called my name and threatened me. Really! Let me see.

"Oh my! You know my name? I'm honoured, " I sarcastically said. "You were calling me as a bitch, right? Who the bloody hell you are?" My tongue was sharp. I was trying to bring back the Swara Gadodia.

"Because you are a bitch! Trapping and cheating boy's life just like you cheated Aryan." This man was getting into my nerves. Till now, I have liked him, only. No one was able to conquer my heart. And be was calling me like this! Holy crap!

"What rubbish," I stated angrily. "What the hell, Sanskar. You know, Aryan was like a brother to me. Why would I even cheat or destroy him?" I was so shocked by his revelation.

"Can you please stop your acting? Girls like you are only capable of doing an act." Fuck! How dare he.

"What do you even mean by that, you psycho!" I held his collar and asked. He raised his hands for pulling my hair. I crossed it and pushed him.

"Dare you!! Dare you to touch me. You are misunderstanding me. Look at yourself. Look at the reality. It wasn't me, but Arpita, who had ditched Aryan." I spoke. Everything was a misunderstanding.

"Really, it was Aryan, who uttered your name, before he slipped into the comma. You and your so-called friend has even aborted his child. Aren't you a woman." What!! I'm fainting. What was it all?

"What nonsense! Arpita wasnt pregnant," I stated. Yes, I'm sure about it. Wait!! "Aryan slipped into comma? Sanskar, are you serious?" I wasnt able to believe it. God!

"She was. And that cruel women aborted her and Aryan's child without asking him a word. I know, even you were with her. And you don't have to look into Aryan." He declared. He started moving towards the bed.

"Sanskar, I need to meet Aryan. Please, trust me. He was like my brother. I haven't deceived him nor you. Please, for once--- trust me." I begged him. I was innocent. I want to see Aryan.

Sanskar slept without uttering a word. I was heavy breathing. If whatever Sanskar said was true, I don't know what I was supposed to do. I know how much Aryan meant to Sanskar. They were like real brothers. Sanskar was an introverted guy. And for him, Aryan was his world, his lifeline. I sat on the floor without knowing what to do.
