Part 5 The Partings
Hey all. So this is chapter up next one. I would compensate, this for not updating long time.
He walked to his room as he stumbled to move to his room with much efforts.
As he opened his room door. A light came on, and even spot some Candles lighted. "Happy birthday to you", He heard his family singing birthday song for him. As the only candle lights on the room lighted and they holding gave brightness to see their face little much. He saw his son also there on holding.
So everything was planned. But whose plan?
"Dad. Happy birthday", Yash spoke with his hand holding the candles. "Come brother. We will cut cake", Laksh said grinning ear to ear as he took the cake in his hand and placed on the chair.
Sanskar didn't answered them either denied them, he was dumbfounded on the place. He know this would be her and his brother plan. Now all the talking they had behind him was came to point.
"I'm not celebrating this." Sanskar said angrily as he started existing the room. "Sanskar we prepared this for you." Annapurna said sadly as she looked at him. "You all know right? The last time I celebrated my birthday is with Swara. And with her gone away I just left them all. I don't want this celebration without her. And Please switch on lights", He said angrily making them crystal clear.
"Laksh put lights on", Sujatha said.
The lights are switched on, Sanskar spotted everyone in his family. He was shocked to see them hanging on the wall.
"Who did that?" He asked in shock.
"Which one?" Laksh asked suspiciously.
"Those", Sanskar pointed him the Photo frames that was hanging on his wall. Everyone turned to glance what he was talking about. As they saw shock was clearly visible on their face.
"Who did that?" He repeated irately not getting answer.
"I did that", Ragini said hesitantly, as he looked at her in absolute shock with his narrowed eyes.
She had placed His and Swara's picture all over the hall. He had decorated them in wall on Swara presence. With her death, and later with Marriage seeking his family asked to remove as it upset wife and his son.
But she. God! How come she can do this? She says she loves him. And she does everything a lover girl never do.
"I thought that her photos and memories can make you happy and you would celebrate your birthday with her presence", Ragini said her point while he looked at her in daze.
Now he knows she truly loves him. That is not any infatuation because if it was it does not know any sacrifice. She being wife making her husband see her first wife is something impossible.
"Please. We had done everything and look even Swara di was right before you watching with smiling. Now you can't miss her right?" Ragini continued to ask him.
Sanskar saw his whole family and her, they are looking at him hopefully. He had done nothing to his family after Swara gone. Other than pain. Now they are asking him something. So he needs to give in.
"Okay." He said curtly walking to the table in which cake was there. He reached to the knife and looked at them they are looking at him unbelievable yet with happiness filled shock. Slowly a small smile curved on his lips unknowningly. He saw her from in the corner of his eyes, she saw waiting for him to cut the cake. She was the one who forced him in the marriage, and in taking care Yash. And making him get better along with his family and now trying to bring him back to his normal state.
For the first time he felt like he is in the state of thanking her. She was standing afar from him with his sister Uttara. She was smiling happily as if she was the one here celebrating birthday. Truly she was unpredictable to him. Sometimes it feel like she loves him more than anything else. And his happiness makes her happiness. Though her doing for him shock him to the core.
Swara pictures and him wasn't it would be hard for her to see them. He wanted to ask her stand beside him close. Not too much closer but a little. "Papa. What was making you delay. Please cut the cake" Yash said annoyed as he waited for his father to cut it down so that he could smudge some on his face and pour some on his stomach.
Still he waited, he thought she would be accompanying him. When she is the one who organised all, why was she standing far? Is that because of fear that he would say something.
At least he need to do this for her, for Her who did something special to him. "Ragini" He called her softly taking the knife.
She looked at him in shock but nodded her head in asking. "Come", he said simply she looked at him as if he was alien.
Yeah. He looked like alien. Doing different things specially unbelievable new thing's.
She smiled at him happily as her eyes moist a moment. She walked to him in quick strides. She was experiencing his love and care for her after her years of await. There was a glitter feel on her stomach, her hair got goosebumps, she was grinning like idiot. Moreover she felt she was not in earth her legs are flying.
He was about to cut the cake, when she stopped him holding his hands, he cocked his brows, "Wish something first closing your eyes and cut", she said him slowly.
He obliged her without denying or arguing back with her. Closing his eyes he wished for his family happiness. "I want them happy more than my happiness", he wished opening his eyes slightly and blow off the candle. He take Yash hand with his hand lower and Yash hand on upper he cut the cake. While everyone happily sang,"Happy birthday" song chorus.
He took the cake in the his hand feed Yash first, and next his mothers and bringing the cake piece to her. He brought the cake to her mouth, she looked at him flabbergast. He was surely giving him more shock to him. First, celebrating the birthday next asking him to stand beside him and at last Feeding him. Anyways everything was sweet shock.
She graciously took the cake in her mouth. It was the first time he was giving something to her without any compelling. He was changing, changing that was the thing sure.
"Pappa. I'm so happy", Yash said gleefully almost Jumping on his place. "Dad did you got your gift?" Yash questioned him whispering into ears. "What gift?" Sanskar quried him doubted. "Yash. What are you saying come here?" Laksh pulled him to him making him divert. "Laksh wait. What was you saying Yash?", he asked taking Yash with him.
"Maa. Brought you gift. Had she given you?" Yash asked innocently not even noticing his chachu asking him to shush him. "Gift", Sanskar asked astonished. "Yes", Yash cheerfully sharing the secret which he was forbidden to tell before Ragini gives her. But now the secret was blown out.
"Ragini." Sanskar spoke after gathering the thoughts. "Okay. Everyone leave it was getting so much late. Yash you sleep well. Tomorrow you're getting School off", Sujatha spoke up so Ragini have some private moment with her husband alone as she made everyone leave. She had senses some good vibes from Sanskar. It may refresh their relationship her mind was resting in peace now seeing Sanskar was getting back on into track.
"Sanskar." Ragini opened her mouth hesitantly after everyone left. He gave her what you wanna say tell look. She saw him before lowering her gaze back to the floor. "I- I bought y- you", she said stuttering nervously fidgeting on the corner of her Chudithar.
"What you bought?" Sanskar asked calmly, he needs to be patient with her. She was doing for him and his family. So why can't he do or try anything. Anyways she is his wife. Her eyes moved to the last corner of the room where there was a large box occupied half a room.
It was a brown color cardboard written with" Happy 29 Birthday" and he even saw it form the direction of her gaze.
Seeing the large box Sanskar was startled what could be there possible. Had she bought Teddy bear just because he bought it to her 15th HD birthday.
But what the use of teddy bear when he have a son to play with it. And what was the need to buy that for him when her purpose to give them indirectly to Yash. Or she had got it that so he could snuggle with it. Who would snuggle and sleep with the tedddy bear. When he have wife like Hanna and Barbie.
But Sanskar no one hug Hanna or Barbie toy.His mind asked him.
Shut up! I would hug because it was my toy.
He replied another mind voice.
But you never hugged your wife.
The same mind pointed the thing.
I would you don't think of anything. He replied angrily. "Sanskar Are you alright?" Ragini asked in concern advancing to his side wiping the sweats formed on the forehead. "Sorry. I'm really sorry. If the gift upset you. I'm sorry. But please don't upset", Ragini said sadly touching his arms.
Sanskar drawled out of his mind voice seething fights and looked at her. She was worried about him. She felt like a pure sacrificing creature to him. Willing to do everything to her loved one. Her eyes was well up in tears. He touched her arms and said, "No. No It's not like you don't panic" He said her making her sit on the bed. He stride to the Gift box and opened it with bated breath.
For a moment he felt like Teenager to himself exciting for his lover gift. He opened it neatly but fast. He was shocked to see. It has almost more than 20 gift box on it. It was his appropriate thinking. He took a box and read the thing written on the label "28th gift. Happy birthday".
Yeah. He had heard people saying that Some create Gifts on the count of their birthday. It would be full of their likable gifts. That hints so this is the gift Yash was talking about. A smile formed on his lips automatically adoring his already happy face.
"Liked it" Ragini question made him realize that she was also there. He nodded his head in yes not turning. He felt like himself blushing and flushed and rejuvenated by the acts of her. He started unpacking them one by one every things making him remind of his favorite moments. Specially the photo frames of his and Yash in trip and his and Swara pictures on her pregnancy. And his first broken guitar repaired with fully playable manner. And his old photos.
"I'm going home", Ragini voice came.
"What?" Now he turned to see her face what was she speaking home means. Wasn't his home is hers.
"My exams are coming. And it would be easier for me to go college from home." She clearly explained while her face showed even she was not happy with the plan she had made. After whatever happened today it made her go home not likable. When he was changing.
"Okay." He replied curtly not knowing what to say as he hold the picture of whole family taken now with her and photoshoped with Swara presence. "What about Yash?" Her breaking voice questioned him while studied her face. She squirmed under his scrutinizing gaze. It was new thing to her even to him.
"Can I take with him?" She added waiting for him to permit. So she would miss him so take him. Won't she would miss him? For gods sake. He is her husband first next Yash.
His voice want to ask,"What about me?" But he suppressed the feelings. "Hmm" he nodded his head. Suddenly the enjoyment of seeing gift didn't excite him. "Okay. It's getting we need to sleep. You have to go home right", he asked emotional less. She nodded her head in yes and about to wake. But stopped on track.
Walking to him, while he was lost in thoughts. "Thank you", she said happily hugging him. He was startled but compensed and hug her back holding her in his embrace. "For letting me know on any how I'm your part of your life", she said happily while a tear dropped on his shirt. "And I would be back soon. I would miss you so much. But I need to go. I would back soon" She answered his not even asked questions. He nodded his head understanding. She broke the hug. He felt like something was leaving him. But didn't stop her.
And she tiptoped kissed her cheeks quickly to make him realize. And said, "Thank you so much" with every heart of her love. She hurriedly ran into bathroom hiding her head and he smiled like idiot again. Now he know she is something to her. He would definitely miss her and he started liking her and caring her.
