Recap: Vaibhav marrying Vaigha - Vaigha staying at his uncle's place.

Vaigha's PoV
I took a quick shower and wore the saree Nandini aunty have given me. I saw a glass of milk placed at the centre of the table. I was feeling tired and dizzy. I hold the edge of bed and sat there with an absent mind.

"Vaigha.. take that milk and drink it. You need to be strong.."Nandini aunty said standing at the door.
I looked at her helpless.
"Aunty..I..him."I dont know what I was supposed to talk.

"Listen me Vaigha..first of all drink it..you have to face a lot in coming days. May be god has decided everything to make you both united. You need to be strong. Because he needs you with his side to overcome all hurdles. One thing I promise.. whatever you are going to face, he will be with you..now drink this.."she said giving me the glass of milk.

I drank the milk and handed over the glass back to her.
"Now sleep well.. Everything will be alright..let's talk it tomorrow.. Good night.." she said and I gave her a faint smile.
She left after switching off all the lights except a night bulb. I laid on the bed lifeless. Sleep was far away from me. It's my wedding night and I don't know the condition of my husband now. I tried to close my eyes. But the thoughts were disturbing me.

Why did he marry me? He could have leave like all others. Can he love me one day? What about his family? Will they accept me? I only have limited knowledge about him and his family. But from the things I heard, it's sure coming days will be tough for me. He didn't even talk with me. He might be hating me. My fate has dragged him to this scenario. But no one forced him. He is the one who came forward agreeing to marry me. And why he is behaving like this now? He could have talk with me. Atleast one word...it was enough for me...do he know anything about me?

Vaibhav's PoV
Its been midnight and sleep didn't touch me. I was confused about the next step. What have I done today? I married. It's ok..The circumstances was like that. And I dont regret for doing that. But what made me to marry her before having a word with her? What if she is uninterested? She dont know anything about me and I dont Know anything about her. And I left her at uncle's place. Is it fair?? What I can only remember is her teary face when I was leaving. It was disturbing me a lot from the moment onwards I leave her. She might be sad. Her husband left her alone at a totally strange place at the night of their wedding. But what else I could have do that time? I hope she won't misunderstand me.

I was walking here and there in my room. A battle was going on in my mind. I must do something. Why to scare? I haven't done anything wrong. I did a good thing which my siblings can be proud of . They can surely understand me. If they can't, who else will understand me...I am sure..they will realize the reason behind my sudden marriage. They will accept it. So the first thing in the morning.. revealing the truth about my marriage infront of my brothers and sisters. I hope next morning will bring a relief to all my confusions.

At the end I fall on bed with a tired body. Slowly my eyes started closing.

Next morning
Vaibhav's siblings are on a very big discussion. They are here to finalize the girl whom their brother should marry.

"Bhai have done a lot for us..we should give him the best." Everyone looked in wonder at Arjun who is speaking so serious which is unfamiliar to them.

"I support Arjun this time..Bhai didn't even think about his life till now. He was always working for us..day and night..he deserves the best..And we are responsible to choose that best for him.."Amar said while typing something in laptop.

"What qualities the girl must have?" Anjali asked eyeing at her brothers.
"She must be highly educated.. someone who is match to him and our family." Arjun spoke.
"More than all she must be intelligent like bhai." Amar said earning a clap from others.
"She must be from a good family.." it's Krithika who said that.

"Our bhai is the most richest man here. All because of his hardwork. He deserves a girl who matches with him in his wealth too..must be a rich girl from a reputed family.."Anjali said.

"We don't have anyone to love us except bhai and Uncle's family. So bhai want a girl from a huge family..so that we will also get a new family. We will have a lot of people around us" Arjun spoke and Amar hugged him patting his back.

"She must be very beautiful."Krithika said.
"Why this girls are always behind money and beauty?" Amar asked for which Arjun shrugged his shoulders.

"Because we are girls.."Krithika said.
"But everyone is saying you are a boy.."Arjun said laughing which earns him a glare from Krithika.

They heard Sanjana hitting on table to excuse them.
"Our baby doll has something to say..tell us dear.." Amar said making everyone smile.
Sanjana took her writing pad and wrote something on it.
"Whats it? Let me see first.."Krithika said snatching the pad from Sanjana. Her face brightened reading it. She showed it to the rest of the gang.

It reads as "BHAI MUST MARRY SOMEONE WHO LOVES HIM WITH ALL HER HEART"

Everyone hugged Sanjana making it hard for her to breathe. From upstairs someone was witnessing all this talks making his decision to be think once again. He heard all except the last thing wrote by Sanjana. Vaibhav hitted his palm hardly on the wall.

"How can I tell this now? They are searching for a bride who suits me in all aspects and what they do when I say to them that I already married a girl whom don't fall on any of their expectations" he muttered while breathing heavily.

He immediately took the phone and dialled a number.
"Ganesh..book a ticket to Banglore now itself..so that I can reach there as early as possible.." he said on phone.
"Dont ask me reasons.. do what I say.." he shouted and ended the call.

Vaigha's PoV
I went to the kitchen. Yesterday I didn't sleep. So it was easy for me to wake up early. I saw a clock in the hall. It shows the time as 7:30 am. I entered inside the kitchen to see Nandini aunty working there.
"Aunty.."I called and she turned back.
I touched her feet and she hugged me.

"I know you are an early riser. But you should have sleep some more. I know how much tired you were yesterday."Aunty said And I gave her a smile.

She handed over a cup of tea to me. I took it and started having it.
"Did uncle get his tea?" I asked.
"Yes..he is reading newspaper." Aunty replied while continuing her work.

I have a lot of questions to ask. But don't know which to ask first. I finished the tea and washed the cup placing it back on the stand.

"You are not a maid here to do these jobs. You re now wife of our son. He is just like a son to us..He loves us more than our own children." Aunty said initiating wht I wants to hear.

I know a lot about uncle and aunty. I am seeing them from a long time. But I know little about their children especially him. My husband.

"He is such a man any girl will wish to get as husband. If he start loving someone, he will be ready to even die for them. He started hard-working from a very young age itself. For his brothers and sisters...he loves them more than his life. Sometimes we think he is living only for them..not for him.."she laughed.

I can see in her eyes the admiration and love she have for him. I smiled.

"He can't see anyone suffering..there is a reason for that. They lost their mother and father in an accident long years back. That time only my husband were there to help them. Without having parents, he and his siblings suffered a lot. With the help of his uncle he started a small business. The remaining wealth all he have now, it's all because of his hardwork. He always thank his uncle for helping him to become what he is now. He wants to become that helping hand in someone other's life who needs a help. He won't waste a single chance for that." She said and now I understood why he married me.

"We know you a lot. You don't have any idea how much we are happy when he married you. He deserves a girl like you Vaigha. You both are made for each other because of the purity of your hearts. No wealth and power can defeat the matching you both have with your hearts." She said and I can see a tear drop falling on her cheek.

"When will he come?" I asked finally after thinking for many times whether to ask or not.
"May be soon.." she said giving me an hope.

The way aunty said about him, it made me already excited. I am very lucky to get an husband like him. I always wanted someone who loves not only him, but the others around him too. One who can feel the pain of others. One who have the mind to help others. Money or status didn't make me excited.

How I will start talking with him? What will I ask him first? What would he ask me first? Did he know anything about me? I am already feeling nervous thinking about our first talk.

"Nandini..."we heard uncle calling.
"Let me check why he is calling." Aunty left.
*****
"Why did you call me?" Nandini asked her husband.
"Did Vaigha wake up?" SathyaPratap asked.
"Yes.. she is in kitchen..had her tea" Nandini replied.
"Did she ask anything about Vaibhav?" He asked for which she nodded.
"She is waiting for him. After all they are husband and wife now. Yesterday they couldn't talk with each other..we can't blame anyone. Situations were like that. But now they need to open up. " She said and his face fell down.

"I dont think it will happen today.." he said for which she was confused.
"What happened?" She asked.
"He left to Bangalore in the morning flight..taking urgent ticket.." he said making her shocked.
"What he is up to? How can we say this to her?" She was worried.
"That's my confusion too..."he stopped seeing someone behind his wife. He is shocked.

"Vaigha..."he called.
Vaigha was in tears hearing about her husband's sudden journey. She was preparing to face him and now she heard he left to Bangalore without having a talk with her. He even didn't inform her. She was crying badly. Even if she try no one can stop that tears.

"Vaigha...listen to me..it's not like that you are thinking.."SathyaPratap tried to calm her when Nandini was standing there without knowing wht to do.

"Uncle..he didn't like me na? He dont want to see me.. that's why suddenly left to avoid me..I can understand..no problem.. Who am I to him? A stranger whom he married only because of circumstances.."she said without having any hope.

Few moments ago she was very happy thinking about her husband and his good nature. She thought how lucky she is. But she didn't think whether she deserves this luck. And now she got the answer.

"Vaigha..you are interpreting him in a wrong way..see he didn't marry you because of circumstances or force..it was his wish. He decided to marry you..it was completely his decision and no one had forced him for that.."SathyaPratap said.

"Uncle..I am not trying to interpret him. I have no right for it..he is a good man..that's why he saved me and few more girls from a bad fate. But I can't force him to accept me. May be his family didn't agree..I can understand it..its ok."she said.

SathyaPratap was stucked hearing her.
"Vaigha..he went to Banglore to attend an urgent meeting. It was scheduled earlier and his unknown marriage can't change already fixed important meeting. So he went..and he have already informed me about it." SathyaPratap lied. That was the last option for him to make her calm.

Vaigha seems to be relaxed hearing him. But Nandini was shocked seeing her husband lying and giving her hope. she looked at her in a helpless look.

"Nandini..Pls make her understand.." SathyaPratap said gesturing his wife.
"Huh..yes...he is..you still have a lot more to know about your husband..he is such a man who gives importance to his work more than his personal life..he won't cancel any meeting whatever happens. He is such a professional man..you will understand it later.. Nandini said making Vaigha smile.

"Sorry uncle..sorry aunty..for misunderstanding him..I am really..."SathyaPratap stopped Vaigha who was apologizing.

"You don't need to..he is your husband now and you are his wife..you have right to know about him. More than anyone else.."he said making her blush.

"Vaigha..you should take care of yourself..he will be back tomorrow..then he will come to talk with you.."he said and she left nodding.

SathyaPratap sat on the chair lifeless.
"What have you done? You have given her false hopes..how will she react when she know the truth?" Nandini asked
"I dont Know anything Nandini..I can't see her in tears. I can't break her hope.." he said in a low tone.

"Did you talk with him?"she asked.
"Once..to inform his journey..after that he switched off the phone..I am trying continously.." he said and she hold her head.
"Whats his plan?" She asked and he shook his head.
*****
Vaigha entered the room and closed the door behind her. She fall on bed crying her heart out. It was not something that she wished. She wanted to have a word with him. It was the last thing she wished. Her husband just leaving without giving her some time of his. It might be because of his commitment towards work. She can understand that. But her heart hesitated to believe uncle's word completely. The doubts she hided in her inner heart slowly started coming out searching for answers. She dont know anything about her husband except the long page articles on newspapers and magazines. She didnt fail to notice those articles about the man who is sponsoring her orphanage. She knows his hardwork, dedication and his achievements. Apart from that he is a complete stranger for her. What she knows is she is a complete mismatch for his power, status, wealth and family. Why should he spent time for her?

A piece of her mind still trying to find reasons that favour her. May be he is really busy..He is a professional business man. How can he simply cancel a scheduled important meeting because of his marriage that is unknown to everyone. He will come soon. She placed her hand on her heart and tried to believe what she is thinking..he will come definitely..he will...

Precap: Her decision

I will try to be regular from here onwards. Thank you all..Vaigha and Vaibhav have a lot to say..don't jump into sudden conclusions..if you forget the characters, pls read once again the character sketch part. His brothers and sisters are an important part of the story and each of them have a different behavior and personality which is going to drive the story actually. They all are different from one another and it took me a lot of time to create them. More than cast, it's their nature which is important here..(just a reminder since it's been a long time I have updated and definitely you might have forgotten the characters)

KEEP READING & ENJOY
