Sandhya Pov

Today, I woke up a bit early as usual with a smile and got ready.

I planned a surprise to express my feelings to Akash and tell him that he is now forgiven. I hope my plan works. I am eager to see his reaction. I blushed shyly and came out of my room.

I got to know that whatever rituals which are going to happen today? Only requires bride's presence along with the aunties and everyone else is instructed to focus on their dance rehearsals.

I finished my breakfast and went to do my dance rehearsal for final finish. After being sure that all my steps are perfect I showed my dance to the choreographers.

The choreographers got quite impressed by my performance and said,

"You are fully prepared to set the stage on fire."

I giggled on their statement and thanked them for such awesome complement.

The choreographer dismissed me earlier while others were still struggling to ace their steps.

Now only I am the one who is free while others are still rehearsing. What to do now for passing my time?

I got an idea and move towards my parent's room.

I knocked the door once and waited for their response.

It's been two minutes since I am waiting for them to open the gate.

"Why they are not opening the door?", I muttered to myself confusedly.

I knocked the door again. I guess they didn't heard the knock before so I banged a bit harder this time and it worked.

Mom opened the door and said,

"A..Adhya beta! D..do y..you want something?"

Strange! Why she is stammering? I eyed her suspiciously and enquired,

"Can't I visit my parents?"

"Oh-no! Its nothing like that beta. Y...you can surely visit us.", She said hesitantly.

Something is definitely wrong. She grabbed my hand and took me inside her room. I roamed my eyes around the room suspiciously. I saw Dad sitting on the edge of the bed and rubbing his nape with a cute smile plastered on his lips.

Cute smile! Once again strange!

Hmm! Dal me kuch to kala hai.

My eyes fall on Dad's neck which is covered no smudged with some reddish colour thing. Wait! Is it lipstick? Oh God! My eyes became wide. Now I understand why they took so much time to open the gate. Shit! It's so embarrassing. I ruined their romantic moment.

"What happened Adhya? Is everything alright?", Dad enquired.

Initially I shook my head in denial but soon covered it with a nod and said,

"Yeah Dad everything is absolutely fine."

"Umm! Actually! I came here to inform you guys that I am going home.", I blurted the first thing that came into my mind.

I didn't planned anything like that I just came here to spend some quality time with them but I guess God has some different plans for me.

"What!", Mom reacted bewilderedly.

"Home! But why?", Dad enquired confusedly.

"It's nothing to get worried. It's just I feel like going. It's been so long since I went there. I promise I will come back tomorrow at the time of Mehendi function.", I tried to justify my plan which I made just now.

"Why so suddenly beta? Is everything all right? Are you hiding something?", Mom enquired worriedly.

"Mom relax. It's not sudden. Since I came back I wanted to go home but Dheer dropped me here and today there is nothing to do here. So, I thought why not to visit home.", I said casually.

They worry so much for me. Well! It's all because of my past behaviour which made them so insecure about me.

"Wait! We will also come with you.", Dad said while getting up.

"No Dad. I just want to spend some time alone there and yes please don't inform anyone about my whereabouts.", I said.

I don't know why I asked him not to inform anyone. I guess my mouth has got it's own brain today.

"Are you sure beta?", Mom asked doubtfully.

I wanted to say 'no Mom I am not' but I controlled myself. I don't want them to be more worried about me.

"Yes my dear Mom. Now give me the keys I am getting late and Yes, sorry to disturb you. You guys can carry on with your romance.", I said teasingly.

Mom's eyes became wide while Dad coughed dramatically to mask his emotion.

I giggled on their reaction and said,

"Aww! You guys are so cute."

Mom flushed and turned red like a cherry and rushed towards the closet.

She gave me the house keys while blushing miserably.

"Enjoy!", I squealed and went out of their room.

I came out of the hotel, booked a cab and left for home. After forty minutes of long drive finally I reached home.

I paid the cab driver and rushed towards the main gate. I became a bit emotional after looking at my house. I unlocked the door and directly went towards the garden area, my favourite place. I sat down on the bench and adored the beauty of nature's creation. I inhaled the fresh air. I spend some time in the garden until my tummy started making weird noises signalling me that I am hungry.

I move towards the kitchen and prepared some meal for myself. It's the same kitchen where I learned how to cook? After getting the meal ready I decided to change my clothes then eat it peacefully.

I came to my room and opened my cupboard. I saw all my old clothes are kept as usual the way I had left them. My eyes landed on my old cellphone. I picked it up and tried to unlock it but nothing happened. I guess it ran out of charge. Obviously! How silly I am. It's been three years. I searched for the charger and found it on the lower shelf of the cupboard. I plugged the phone on the charger and kept it over the desk. I took out one of my old night wear and changed my clothes.

After having my meal. I came back to my room and went directly towards my phone. I pressed the power button and waited for it to turn on.

The moment it turned on it started vibrating and filled with lots and lots of notifications. I swiped the screen to have a look on the notifications and my eyes became wide. There are 1000+ text messages and all ot them are from Akash. Oh God!

I opened the messaging app instantly and started reading his texts.

'Please forgive me Tittly.'

'Please come back. I can't leave without you.'

'Where are you? I tried to ask everyone about your whereabouts but no one is telling me anything.'

'Please come back. I am dying without you.'

'Today Satvik scolded me for drinking too much alcohol and made me realise that I am doing wrong.'

'You know what? This year I have been nominated for the best business man of the year award. I want to celebrate my achievement with you. Please come back baby.'

'Baby I won that award.'

'I miss you. Please come back.'

'Tittly Mom is in the hospital. She fainted. Doctors are treating her. Please baby come back I need you.'

'Today Mom is going to get discharged. Doctor said she needs full bed rest. Please come back for her.'

'I am feeling very low today. There was a business party. All the business tycoons attended it with their life partners. Please come back baby.'

I just kept on reading his messages with my eyes full of tears. I cried my heart out while reading all these texts. I just want to hug him tightly and scream 'I am back. I will never leave you alone.' I want to console him.

I understand that holding your past grudges in the present and letting it effect your future is not a very wise decision to be made. It will only increase the intensity of your pain and will also cause harm to your loved ones and make them suffer along with you.

My one decision made everyone suffer with me. Everyone, Mom, Dad, Luv, Kush, Akash, Mahima Mom. But not anymore.

I wiped my tears and lied down on the bed. I continued to read Akash's text messages again and again.

I am going to end all our miseries soon.

Suddenly the mobile vibrated again. I swiped down the screen and noticed that there is a new text message from Akash which says...

Akash Pov

I am very thankful to God. My Tittly agreed to give me a chance to earn her forgiveness. My happiness has no boundaries. This time I am not going to let her go.

Last night I felt like we came one step closer to each other. After so long we had a normal conversation. I agree it was a short conversation but still it means the world to me and the way she claimed me as her husband infront of that Neha I did a mental dance.

I got scared seeing her so angry but also felt happy because she got angry for me. She hit Neha not because she was talking nonsense about her but she slapped her because she talked ill about me.

I remembered the day when she had slapped me. Oh God! It was one of my painful and horrible experience with Tittly.

Do you guys remember that incident when my Tittly slapped me? If yes then comment it. Let's test your memorization power.

Today I woke up early and came here to finish my dance rehearsal as soon as possible. Why? Because I want to see my love but this Mayank Sharma, he is not helping me. I don't know why I am paired with him? He is such a big dumbo. He can't even to do a simple step like raising his hands effortlessly.

I am teaching him again and again and now my temperature is going out of my control.

I wanted to finish this dance rehearsal crap soon but because of this idiot it took my entire day.

No worries! Calm down Akash you can still go to meet your Tittly. I console myself.

I rushed towards Satvik's room. It's been our daily routine. We daily slipped out of our hotel without anyone's knowledge and visit another hotel where girls side are staying which is only ten minutes walking distance away from here.

I knocked his room's door and he opened it instantly as if he was waiting for me only.

"Where were you Akash?", He enquired in a shushed tone.

"Don't ask. Thanks to God that your best friend Mayank is still breathing.", I frowned.

He laughed at my condition and I glared at him.

"I swear! I will kick his ass.", I said irritatedly.

"Waah! I will enjoy your fighting. Just inform me prior. I will be ready with popcorn and the other stuff.", He said and I looked at him weirdly. Is he real!

"What! It will be fun watching my present bf trying to kick the ass of my ex bf.", He said while shrugging his shoulders.

"Present bf! Ex bf! Seriously Buddy?", I asked.

"Okay Okay! Don't fume. Let's go.", He said.

We silently and carefully walked out of the hotel and reached our destination.

Here also we entered inside the hotel carefully without coming into anyone's notice.

I still remember the day of pre wedding party. Mom and Riya Aunty had caught me and made me wear a saree but that was also a memorable day because my Tittly called me as 'My Akashii'. I smiled while remembering that moment. With my Tittly my every moment is memorable.

I promise today I will convince her and for sure gain her forgiveness.

Successfully hiding ourselves from everyone we reached infront of Sonia's room and Satvik knocked the gate of her room very slowly.

Sonia opened the door in no time. I showed them thumbs up sign and started going towards my Tittly's room.

"Akash wait.", Sonia called me.

I turn around and raised my eyebrows questioningly.

"Twinny is not in her room.", She said.

"No problem. I will wait for her.", I said and was going to move but She again stopped me and said,

"She is not here since afternoon. I don't know where is she and I think she won't come tonight."

I became stunned and my heart started beating scaredly. Did she left me again! Did I again lost her! All such negative thoughts started evolving inside my brain.

Sonia understand my condition and said,

"Don't worry Akash. Her parent's said she will come back tomorrow at the time of mehendi ceremony."

I smiled and nodded my head hopefully.

"I will be in the garden area.", I said to Satvik and left them alone.

I came to the garden area and sat down on an empty bench. I took out my cellphone and wrote a message,

'Please don't leave me this time Tittly. Please!'

I sent the message to her and a lone tear escaped from my eyes.

"You can't do this to me God. You can't snatch her away from me again.", I said while looking at the sky full of stars.

"Please God give me my star back. Please!", I begged.
