Satyendra's POV:

My throat filled up listening to her words...she was desperately still in love with him who left this world...and I was expecting something would grow between us...but looks like few shrubs die even before they get care and love...ours was one such shrub of love!!!
I smiled to at my painful fate and was about to leave from there when her words fell on my ears...

'I tried Varun...I did everything...I didn't let him come closer to me... didn't let him enter my mind...my thoughts...my heart...but I don't know how he sneaked in...like a little robber and took away my everything...leaving me empty...I am so empty today Varun...I don't have anyone to go to...to speak to...you loved me but you left...my love story was incomplete but when he stepped into my heart although I closed all the doors and windows to my heart I don't know how he walked in breaking open every single barrier making me his...
Making me Sattu's Shravani' she said and my lips parted. Hot tears fell from my eyes and I turned around looking at her. I gulped my saliva like I force throated my pain alongside and looked at the girl who was sitting on the floor complaining about me... about us to her ex husband...

My lips moved as my tongue called her name without voice coming out of my mouth... Shravani....
I breathed deeply as she spoke more...

'He broke my heart again Varun...he doesn't love me...You left me...Now even he is going to leave me...Why me always Varun...why me???' she broke down badly and my heart was almost ready to launch outside...

I couldn't stop myself...
I didn't want to think anything more right now...
All the pain from past was still fresh in my eyes...
Not again!!!
Not again!!!
Never again!!!
I ran fell on my knees and before she could turn around I engulfed her into a tight hug as I moved both my hands across her neck while still kneeling down and my front tightly pressed into her back and I dug my face into her fragrant hair by leaning my face completely into her right shoulder. My lips touched her neck and my tears kept wetting her kurta...my touch froze her for a brief interval and next minute she tried to free herself from my grip but my hands wrapped themselves safely across her neck and shoulders and I didn't want to let go that grip...

The past demons were still haunting me. I didn't want to loose her. Not this time!!!

Flashback begins...

I felt a strong pain in my chest and I couldn't stand stable anymore. I ran upstairs as I kept panting. I couldn't help myself as the same scene kept flashing infront of my eyes... Shravani...My Shravani... can I call her that???
Shravani was kissing someone!!!I rushed into my house while Rithika looked at me, I tried to compose myself but she knew me way too well. I rushed into my room but Rithika came behind me and tried to stop me but I was in no mood to talk to anyone. I closed the door shut. I needed space. The same image kept flashing infront of my eyes while I sat on the floor trying to accept the fact that I actually saw it.

I don't know for how long I sat like that. Rithika's knocks now followed by Rishika's voice too, both my sisters were worried for me. Thankfully dad wasn't here as he had gone to organise the Pooja which was to begin in sometime from now.

Finally after my sister's crying, sobbing and threatening me I opened the door and next second both my sisters threw themselves on my chest. They were scared for me. They were shivering. Next minute Rithika slapped me. I was shocked.

'Never Bhai...I mean it!!! Never do it. We love you too much for you to lock yourself up like this. What were you planning to do huhh??? What happened that you are behaving like this since last 3 hours??? Tell us Bhai...we are family' Rithika said and today I felt although she's younger than me, today she sounded like a elder sister. I cried my heart out in her arms and I told her what I saw. She was shocked. She kept caressing my head and I cried more after sometime she cupped my face and told...

'Look here Bhai ..it's ok...it's fine...people fall out of love' and I shouted 'Nooooo!!! Never!! She is mine Rithika noooo!!!' I screamed with intensity to scare my little sisters to death. I went to washroom changed into my kurta pajama. Washed my face and got ready.

My sisters were still shell shocked and looking at me like I turned into a devil or a monster.

I didn't care anymore, I wanted to talk to her. While I was leaving Rishika said...
'Bhai...if it's not yours it would never be yours...if it's yours it will come back to you...so please don't do anything stupid' but I wasn't in any mood of listening to their lectures. I went to the Pooja and looked for her. She stood there with her gang, next to that guy!!! Varun!!! My blood was boiling as I saw the shine in their eyes. They looked like a happy couple and it pricked in my eyes. Soon after the Pooja her friends and that guy Varun went to burst crackers, she being the one who always stayed away from crackers as usual went to terrace and this was my chance. I followed her and she probably noticed me and paced up, there was a decent crowd in one corner of the terrace but before she could escape I pulled her wrist and dragged her to the darker corner of the terrace and she was shocked.

'What kind of a misbehavior is this' she said and I looked at her keenly. She had a glow on her face which I was hating today. Those pink cheeks pricked me today because today I wasn't the reason for it!!!

I pulled her wrist and her pushed her against the wall and looked into her eyes. Our faces were desperately closer and she began shouting...
'What the hell are you doing Satyendra...stay away from me... disgusting!!!'

She thinks my touch is disgusting???

'Really??? Disgusting??? Last Diwali you were pretty comfortable with this touch??? What is it huhhh??? That guy gives you more pleasurable experiences is it??? What does he have which I don't huhhhh tell me...tell me Shravani' I shouted into her face while my eyes eyed her lips. It had a light cut today which she tried to hide with lipstick.

I rubbed her lipstick roughly with my thumb and she pushed me away...
'Stay away from me Satyendra... Don't you dare touch me ... whatever I share with Varun is none of your business so stay away from me...get that???
And what changed between us???
Us???
Was there ever a Us???
Weren't you with someone else last year???
Kanishka I suppose' and next minute I pulled her by her waist and she shuddered at my touch. This time it wasn't tingling sensation that made her jump shyfully instead it was a fearful shudder which I didn't like!!!

She was scared of my touch??

'You know that was a silly rumour...I initially only did it to make you jealous Shravani which Kanishka later went on to making it a bi'

'I don't care anymore!!!' she shouted and pushed me away...

'You must Shravani...I know you are trying the same with me...this is all a stupid game right??? You are trying to make me jealous right baby...look I'm jealous...I got scared...it's enough now...you can't go kissing someone like that Shravuuuuuuu...you know how we feel for each other...so stop it... and you want to feel loved??? Kissed...come here...I'm here for you come...'

Saying I pushed her against the wall and tried to kiss her on her lips...she protested but I held on to her shoulders and moved my face closer to her lips and next minute I felt a strong slap on my face.

And next she shouted loudly...

'Stop it Sattu!!!
This is not how it happens!!!
Consent matters!!!
It's a NO Satyendra Mehra!!!
And it's a NO Forever!!!
I love Varun!!! Accept it & Move On!!!'

I froze!!!
Her words brought fresh tears in my eyes. She loves him???
She doesn't love me???

I looked at her and she still was crying and she had angry red eyes!!!

She pulled my collar and said ...
'Mr Satyendra Mehra...Time changes...people change... emotions change... people grow up! You rejected my emotions...and you know what I'm glad you did!!! Because if this is you I'm thankful to God that everything was left unspoken between us!!! I hate you Satyendra..never again attempt something like this...don't touch me... don't come closer to me...not even a inch...there was, is and will never be anything between us!!!
So next time don't you ever dare to repeat this!!! And huhhh...learn the word 'consent' it's important for an educated illiterate like you' saying she wiped her tears and walked out of the terrace leaving me alone...ashamed and broken!!!

I started hating myself after that!!!
I stood there for hours looking at the sky which poured on the Diwali night putting off all the diyas we lightened up making it jet dark around me...
My life was dark no ray of hope!
I felt empty!
Everything was finished!!!

Flashback ends...

She turned around and threw her arms around my neck and I lifted her up like a baby and sat on the couch there in the living room. I pulled her into my lap and kept kissing her forehead.

She kept sobbing with hiccups and kept saying...
'You want to divorce me right Sattu??? You want to leave me??? She is back now...your true love...I understand Sattu I won't come in between you both...I moved out of your life years ago and now when you are finally going to reunite with the love of your life I'm being a fishbone...I will leave you Sattu but please give me some time...it's not easy for me...I'm addicted to you...you have started becoming my reason to live...my sanity...I have started falling for you.

Again Sattu!!!
Yet another time...' she said and kept sobbing in my arms...she hid her face in her arms and I couldn't see her like that. I pulled away her hands and looked at her crying face. Without a second thought I smashed my lips into hers and she was shocked.

Caressing her waist I made her face me and her eyes poured fresh hot tears while without any hesitation she responded back to my kiss with equal passion.

I nibbled her lips, sucking the nectar out of those lips...the lips which once I craved...the worst memories of she leaving me still haunted me and to wash them off I squeezed her tightly into me and devoured her lips and shoved my tongue posesively into her mouth savouring her while she tugged my tongue with hers and held the nape of my neck posesively and tilted her neck kissing me more and more.

The kiss was getting hotter and we were melting in each other's arms.

After pulling out from the crazy kiss we both panted and I slowly rested my forehead against hers and said...

'There was, there is and there will be only one girl for me and it is you Shravani...my Biwi...no one else!' I said and she asked cupping my face...

'And Karishma???'

I was confused. I looked at her and pushed back the stray hair off her shoulders and kissed her neck inhaling her while she moaned. I said hotly...
'I hope you know the meaning of divorce and marriage.. she was my ex wife' and grazed the skin of her neck with my teeth biting her lightly while she pushed me back and said...

'She still has a ring on her finger that says Satya!!! What is that then?' she looked angry, posessive and jealous.

I smirked saying...
'Oh the ring??? It's her wedding ring! Nice design na' and next minute I was awarded with a tight slap on my face.

It was so hard that I literally felt my jaws shaking.

My lady strongest!!! Wuffff!!!
But before I could utter a word she caught my neck in both her hands and she was strangling me..

'I am your wife! If you think you can get another woman between us like you did last time mind you I am a physiotherapist! I can make or break bones well' and I pressed my lips hard trying to control my laughter.

She was angry! Very very angry but before I could say a word we heard a voice...

'There is no need strangle the other woman Shravani... The other woman is here ..you can rather talk to her' and I turned around to see Karishma along with Rohit and Anita standing at the door.

Shravani looked confused. Looks like we all need to discuss this over a cup of coffee.

Dearest Readers,

I don't usually give extra updates of Neelakurinji but I couldn't see you folks sulking over their past till next weekend.

Even I hate sad chapters and I like it when it ends on a happy note.

So here I hope this brought a little smile on your lips.

Two more chapters+epilogue and Neelakurinji ends.

Hope you liked this book. If this goes successful I have season 2 storyline ready with me and like the 'Apart series' or 'Destiny series' I will proudly announce this to be my 'Flower series'. Which means...new flower, new state, new characters, new story.

But it depends on how well is Neelakurinji received.

Thank you for your immense love ❤️

Keep reading Keep supporting ❤️

Love Love ❤️
