Wish you a very happy birthday dear di! Hope you have a bright year ahead. I know I am quite late but still I know you will accept this small gift from me whole heartedly. I love you!
Randhir
This pain was becoming unbearable with each passing second. I kept sitting there in the same position on a cold night,staring at nothing in particular.
" Oh here you are! And I was looking for you in the whole house."
I heard the voice and froze on the spot, unable to form any construction word. I turned my neck slightly and saw Mr. Rajvansh waving at me lightly. I could clearly read that 'I won' look on his face. I assembled myself and stood back on my feet, facing him completely.
"What do you want now?" I could feel my every fibre shaking from anger.
"Oh come on Mr. Shekhawat! Where are your basic etiquettes? Instead of congratulating me, you are questioning back to me and that too so rudely. I am hurt." He faked sadness.
Wish I could show him what real hurt is, by breaking his jaw!
"I am quiet only because of Sanyukta. Don't misunderstand my calmness as my weakness. So just get lost!" I gritted my teeth.
"Randhir man, why so much hate? Okay I got it! You don't want to talk to me but at least congratulate my fiance." He said.
Bloody bastard!
I was about to shout back at him when I saw a woman, walking towards us. She smiled at me and then encircled her arms around Mr.Rajvansh's waist.
Who is she? And why do I feel that I have seen her somewhere?
" Hello Mr. Shekhawat" Her lips again split into a polite smile.
I kept looking at her, and her arms around Mr. Rajvansh without a blink.
"A person who just got engaged should not allow or hold any other lady like that." I glared at him.
No matter how much hurt I am because of this relationship. I am never going to let anyone break her heart. If she has decided to spend her life with him, then this man has no choice left except keeping my Sanyu happy.
" Look who is preaching here. The same man who has been a disloyal prick all his life." He smirked at me.
"But you are not me right. That is why Sanyukta chose you. She trusts you Arnav and it's my request don't do anything to hurt her." I could feel my vocal cords shaking.
"And what about you Mr. Shekhawat? When will you stop hurting her?" That lady questioned me.
I twitched my eyebrows in confusion!
"What do you mean Miss? I looked at her intently.
" Mrs.. Mrs. Parineeta Rajvansh. That's my name Mr. Shekhawat." She again smiled at me, whereas my eyes got wide open with the revelation.
" You-"
" Mummy"
I was interrupted by Pihu's shrill voice and saw her running towards, or precisely towards that woman. Pihu walked past me and encircled her arms around her waist.
I felt my head spinning! This woman standing in front of me is Pihu's mother, that means she is Mr. Rajvansh's first wife.
"Baby we asked you to wait for us right. Why did you come out like this?" Arnav kneeled down to pihu.
"Because I wanted to click so many pictures with both of you, and you both were taking so long, that's why I came outside." Pihu pouted.
"What the hell is happening here?" I whispered, while ruffling my hair.
"Well it will be an honour for me to be an eye opener for you but I think I am not a right candidate for it. Sanyukta the man here is all yours, we will be waiting inside." He said.
I immediately turned around hearing her name and saw her standing right behind me.
When did she come? Maybe I was too occupied to recognize her presence.
Arnav took hold of Pihu's hand and they left me and sanyukta.
" So how was the surprise?" Sanyukta asked me softly.
"Surprise? It is more like a shock to me. What is all this Sanyukta? Just a few moments back you got engaged with him, and now he is with that woman. What's her name Pari? I rubbed my head.
" Parineeta! Parineeta Rajvansh. She is Pihu's mother and Arnav's wife." She said.
Many unanswered questions ran in my head, making me feel weaker than before.
"Then who are you Sanyukta?" I looked at her longingly.
"An unfortunate woman I guess." I could feel her voice getting heavy.
She is hurt because he returned back to his wife.
"You don't worry Sanyukta. I will talk with Arnav. He can't leave you like this." I said, trying to keep my heart and my voice both strong.
My hurt can't be bigger than hers'.
"And what about you? You can leave me like this? I am hurt, Randhir and this is all because of you." Tears rolled down her eyes.
"Because of me?" I whispered
"Yes! Because of you! What did you think of me? That I am a weekingly, who won't be able to bear the truth of her infertility." She shouted.
I felt the ground beneath me slipping away.
No! This can't be happening.
"Who told you this?" I doubted my voice.
"Why do you want to know this? So that you can hurt that person. In that case Mr. Shekhawat it was you, who spilled the beans to me. Remember that day when I was admitted in the hospital and You were sharing your so-called love story with Arpita? I heard every freaking word." She looked at me furiously.
My heart skipped a beat!
" You knew everything? " I whispered.
" Yes! I knew everything from that day. You know whatever you did in the past only made me feel disgusted about you. But after that day when I heard your conversation, I started hating you. I hate you for making me feel so low about myself. I hate you for deciding for both of us. I hate you for playing with my life.I hate you for keeping me in illusions for so long. I hate you for acting as a matchmaker for me. I hate you for keeping my happiness over and above everything. I hate you for loving me so selflessly." She whispered the last and sat down on her knees.
" I hate you so much. " She dug her face in her palms and weeped.
I kept looking at her unable to speak at all as I felt my voice box shatter along with my hope, hope of keeping her happy.
I slowly walked towards her and kneeled down in front of her.
" I am sorry Sanyukta. I know I did wrong but I did everything for you. You have already gone through so much because of me. I just wanted to protect you from every pain. So I thought.."
"So you thought making me hate you is much easier than seeing me in pain. Right?" She looked at me furiously.
I lowered my eyes and nodded slowly.
"So am I not in pain right now? You were right, the feeling of not becoming a mother ever, is painful but not having you beside me is worse. You always knew how much I love you yet you kept me away. You know I always thought that the day you will realize your love for me, it will be full of smiles and celebrations. But see this, your one stupidity has landed us here. Today there is nothing between us. Do you hear me? We both are divorced because of you." She shouted again and clutched my collar.
I could not help but cry along with her. She is right. I ended everything with my own hands.
" Oh wait! Now I know why you did everything." She said as she wiped her tears.
" You came to know I can't handle pregnancy not now, not ever. And like every man, you also wanted a child. So you thought why not to get rid of me-"
"Sanyukta" I shouted.
She froze as she looked at my raised hand that was hanging in the air. I closed my eyes, forced a deep breath and lowered my hand.
My heart pained as her words rang in my ears. She thinks so low of me!
I opened my eyes and looked at her intently.
"I know you are hurt because of me. You can shout at me, abuse me and can even beat me. But dare you question my love for you. I can tolerate anything but not this allegation. I know I am a jerk in your eyes, but I can never judge a woman by her ability to bear a child. I thought you at least know me this much." I looked at her with hurt.
" You are right. I don't trust you. So you need to prove this to me." She said.
" What? And how am I supposed to prove this to you? " I looked at her irritably.
" By marrying me today itself with a promise of never leaving me my hand ever, with a promise of loving me till my last breath, with a promise of standing by my side, no matter what the situation is-"
I silences by pulling her in for a warm kiss. I could feel her heart beat increasing as I moved my lips over hers in slow rhythm. I pulled apart as we both felt it was difficult to hold breath.
" I promise" I said near her lips, and again placed my lips over hers to seal our promise.
A promise to stay together, forever.
Sometimes an "I promise" held more importance than an "I love you."
