NAINA'S POV:

What does that man even think about himself, after all, that he did to me he still expects me to forgive him? How can he even utter words like sorry and forgiveness? And why did he come now after all my dreams of living a happy family life have been shattered brutally by him, does he thinks that he is capable of making any amends then I need to give him a piece of a lesson in the language that he understands.

It is slightly drizzling outside, the first rain after very hot summers. I have my teacup in my hand, such a perfect evening hot tea and rain. The sudden appearance of shlok in my life had done one good thing that is it gave me satisfaction. The feeling of someone hating me whom I love immensely wasn't settling down in my heart may be that is the reason why I was soo restless and had been in a great distress in this past two years. But today seeing shlok at that position something in my heart had been repaired and now don't ask me what is that as I myself have no idea what is it. Deep down I know it sounds like some kind of cruel happiness while seeing others in pain but I have nothing to feel ashamed here as I am feeling relieved in the pain of my tormentor.

Placing my teacup aside, I made my way outside the house into the common lawn area of the complex where usually all the staffs of the orphanage stay either with their family or alone. Tiny droplets of rain were touching my skin raising the goosebumps in the process and my sari stuck to my skin immediately. All the kids that ones were playing got back into their houses after getting lectured by their elders on how they get sick if at all they play in rain. Few kids were standing in the balcony of their houses watching the rain droplets touching the ground and some elderly people having a conversation among themselves, but necessarily everyone enjoying the feel of this lovely climate.

I stood there for a few minutes until a hand grabbed me and took me under the shelter of roof. "What the hell Naina, what do you think you are doing?" this man...oh god he always have to break my happy moments. He raked his hands through his pitch black hair getting the rain water out of his hair"for god sake Naina, you are a 26 years old woman, not 6 for playing in the rain" I was about to give him a good answer for his question when suddenly, I caught people around staring at us with curious eyes. Damn man, this man just hardly reentered into my life before 10 hours maybe and already got into the process of making my life miserable.

"Don't touch me" I pulled my hand out from his grip. "What happened beta? Everything alright? Do you know that man?" Mrs. Mathur enquired while standing at her balcony looking all concerned for me.

"Yeah Aunty, he is the one from Agnihotri industries" I didn't have to complete my sentence as everyone already knows about the Agnihotri industries joining its hands in raising the funds for the orphanage. Everyone was clearly warned in today's evening meeting about the rules and regulations that need to be strictly followed for the next ten days until the CEO'S stay in here. And also everyone got freely advised on how to make the CEO happy with their professional performance. But what everyone including me didn't expect was his presence in the complex.

With a fake smile plastered on my face "What the hell are you doing here?" he narrowed his eyes by the sudden change in my behavior. He raised his two hands slightly up in the air "Absolutely not following you, I was doing my work when you disturbed me by your presence in front of my window".

"What...And why would I come in front of your window...wait, wait? Don't tell me that you are staying here in the complex." He gave me a bright smile nodding his head up down.

"Hi beta." an elderly woman who works as a caretaker in the orphanage and also happened to be my neighbor suddenly appeared out of nowhere. "You are doing such good work by helping these kids in the orphanage to built their future. God will definitely bless you for your kind and gratefulness." the elderly woman blessed him and left. With that, I realized that the rain stopped and people started coming out of their houses, some for their evening walk, some for passing their time while having a conversation with others. Mrs. Mathur and a few other people came towards us and had themselves introduced to shlok. Everyone seems to be quite impressed with him.

"Arey Naina, Ask him for a tea" I felt like plucking out Mrs. Sharma's tongue for even advising me such stupid stuff. "No Aunty, he seems to be busy. Maybe next time".

"NO, I am absolutely free right now, infarct I would be grateful if you make one for me " and an awkward silence filled the place. "Naina, come-on make him drink a strong tea which he will remember for a lifetime" exclaimed Mrs. Mathur breaking the awkward silence.

"Yeah...please come" with no other choice I invited him into my house. "What was that? couldn't you just say no"

"And why would I even say that?" ahh...this guy is getting on to my nerves now. He came forward towards me and took my face in his hands "I missed you soo much" he was just staring at me and eventually I got lost in his eyes for a few seconds.

"Why are you staying here?" I urged while I clearly know a person like shlok can never adjust in this type of place. "Cause I wanna stay near my wife" his reply shocked me.

"Please mention it as Ex-wife Mr. Agnihotri" I blasted at him as soon as I heard the wife word as memories stung in the back of my head of what kind wife he had seen me as.

"Did you really thought that I submitted those papers" he rested his head on mine completely closing the distance between us. "Whether you submitted those papers or not, our relationship had ended completely when you kindles-sly thrown me out of your house in the midnight just after a few days of my miscarriage shlok" tears trickled out of my eyes as emotions that I had bottled up in my heart threatened to come out.

"I am sorry...you have no idea how much I regret those actions of mine".

"Nothing can change what you had done to me shlok especially not your regret or you being sorry. So please don't waste your time on me. You can just forget everything about me in your life, just think that we never happened to meet each other". He pulled himself away from me and gave a pained look which I couldn't understand.

"How can you even say something like that Naina. By this time you could have clearly seen how much I love you" no...i can't take this anymore. This man is really harmful to my peace, he is again messing with my heart and brain.

"Please shlok...please stop...do not even say a word. Just get out of my house. Right now."

"Naina please...listen to me...just give me a chance to explain everything. And then the decision is all yours".

"By any means, Mr. Agnihotri have you ever gave me any chance to prove my innocence. No, you have a very bad habit of getting into conclusions. Please, Shlok don't remind me of all those just leave me alone."

"Naina, listen to me...please" that is it I lost it and pulled him out by his collar and threw him out of my house. "Goodbye Shlok." but before shutting the door "Shlok, how is Anjali doing?"

He turned towards me carrying a painful yet happy face "Happily married and blessed with a baby girl". with that he left leaving me with all the happy tears.
