Chandini's POV

Thinking on what had happened today sleep eluded me. I never thought I would end up in Anu di's home when I got up in the morning today. Smiling at his caring texts my day dawned beautifully but to end in a sad note.. Sitting by window sill overlooking the stars surrounding the moon I let myself wander in the thoughts that happened from morning.

For some unknown reason after the panic attack I seemed calm. Usually it will take an entire day for me to calm down and get straight with my thoughts, but this time it was like am much calmer within half a day. Must say it's because of the positive people am surrounded by. I don't want to go back to those dark days where I never had control over my thoughts and actions.

My sane mind brought me out of those unwanted thoughts and wandered over to certain 6 feet man-Arjun. The one who captured my heart on a strong will. I never thought someone is going to walk into my life to make me ache with these painful sweet thoughts. It pained much to listen to those harsh words from him, to be thrown away as dirt. The moment he declared he was toying with me and acting I knew that I love him. I realised it at that instant. Because that is when I felt the true meaning of agony, the heart-breaking pain made me realise I have given him so much of control and love to break me with such pain. I had given him the rights to hurt me with his words. I had given him the reigns of my heart .I no more stood as an emotion less girl, distant, frigid person who never reacted for happenings around me all these years but the one with pain whose love was discarded before it could bloom.

I had fallen in love with Arjun – The Unrequited love

Yes, it is the unrequited love, just because I love him doesn't mean I should live with him. Even if what Adi said is true, I do not want Arjun to fall in love with me. He don't need a girl whose past is damaged and broken as mine. He deserves much better. Di and her family deserves a girl with no past to haunt them. So, I am never going to confess to him or Di about my past. That will lie behind me as a closed book. I am going to get basked in his fake love making him to revenge me.

Am I not his to be revenged?

Arjun may not love me. But I love him and Anu di. I am going to give all my love to Arjun and enjoy his fake love and care for the upcoming 15 days to treasure it with me for all my life. I am going to live my entire life in this 15 days.

After processing the entire day happenings one thing I was sure about was Pradeep needs to be brutally punished for all the deeds he has done to Anu di and me. Till now I haven't thought about his punishments, but all I wanted was to escape from him and this shit of a marriage but today after di's ordeal one thing I decided was that he should have the heaviest blow in his life. I need to raise from the ashes to teach him a lesson, the hard lesson. First one being me ditching him. I know he doesn't love me, I am just an obsession for him. Yet it will hit his ego when he sees me with another man. I will ensure that I get revenged by Arjun to give the biggest blow to Pradeep. This way I will somehow escape from this marriage of mine with that bastard too.

I was planning on further things to do ,when my entire thought process was disturbed by a knock on the door.

***

The moment sleep allured Anu, Pranav walked towards guest room. He knows Chandini will be wide awake. The confusion and the anxiety that someone knew about her health abruptly mirrored in her eyes.

Once they reached their home, it had become difficult for Anu to withhold her caring instincts that she wanted every another 5 minutes to keep checking on Chandini. It took every ounce of control in Pranav to delude her and put into sleep.

Pranav knocked onto Chandini's door, on finding no response he was about to move to his room, when the door opened. He turned to look at Chandini, who had dark circles under her eyes staring at him with a god-knows-what look

"Hmm Mithu has slept. Shall we have a talk?" Pranav asked Chandini carefully not to make her discomfort at any time.

Seeing his uncertain looks, Chandini bobbed her head and actioned him to enter the room. Refusing he took her out on to the portico, facing the garden.

After few minutes of silence Chandini started "um,I am sorry"

Seeing his eyebrows raised, she replied "For venturing to hit you with bottle in the evening "

He let out a chuckle and replied "believe me, I have seen worst. I didn't mind so chill"

Chandini gave a small smile and came to the matter which was blasting her head "How did.."

Before her question got completed Pranav handed over his mobile to her.

"I got it from the doctor who treated you today." Chandini looked up from the mobile, startled on the new found information. On his phone was her medical report snaps sent to him via WhatsApp

"The Restaurant where you fainted was owned my brothers-in-law. The doctor who treated you was an intern and she accidentally saw your medical reports which had fallen from your bag. On seeing your physic condition she contacted me, as she knows me as a psychiatrist and asked for advice on what medication to prescribe you. I wanted to know the medical history of the patient before I could advise her on medicines and thus she sent me the snaps .Though initially i was confused seeing the name I didn't think it must have been you ,but the evening news from NEST confirmed it."

"Does Di..?" Chandini asked holding her breath, wanting not to trouble Anu at any time with her health

"No I haven't said her. I haven't planned to say her anytime soon. Though she has her own set of doubts, knowing how much she loves and adores you she my get tensed for every other silly things."

"You both are made for each other "Chandini said with pure admiration on her eye.

Pranav gave a laugh and said "I am not sure whether we are made for each other but we are mad for each other"

Pranav by now sensed Chandini was in ease with me, when compared to the day they met on temple.

"I was worried when Mithu befriended some stranger on her first meet but knowing you now I know you are a Pari by heart as she named you. I am not going to ask you why or how this happened, but know that you are not alone. Mithu is there for you, if you can consider me then I will be happier. You can have a talk any time you need with us and you can barge in anytime you want here. Consider us as yours."

She ached to hear something like this for years from someone but when it never happened she tossed it as a lunacy. Now when that happens, when she was surrounded by all loved ones she felt she is truly blessed for the first time in her life.

"This girl, Where has she gone? Pranav is also not anywhere to be found" Anu was muttering to herself searching for her Pari

"Pranav!!! Pranav! Where the hell are you? Have you seen Pari" She screamed her lungs out entering towards kitchen

"Good morning Mithu"

"Good morning Di"

Two voices whose owners she was searching for was in the kitchen. Chandini was sitting on top of Kitchen Island while Pranav was cooking something. Anu's face beamed into big smile seeing them both happy and deep in discussion something after greeting her.

"What are you both doing leaving me, early in the morning?" though she twisted her mouth to show her fake displeasure, she felt content seeing Chandini back to happy state.

Chandini by now stood beside Anu and pulling her cheeks answered "awe Di, you were asleep so not to disturb you, we are making some gajar ka halwa to relish it in breakfast."

"Awweee really Pari, I love it" Anu reached towards pan in the stove to savour the fragrance of the halwa.

"Didn't I say Pari she loves it ?"Pranav asked looking towards Chandini

"Haan Haan Jiju, seems like you know Di in and out "Chandini answered him with a wink

Anu stood cute , confusion etched on her face due to their Pari-Jiju sweet talks and muttered a prayer to her Devi maa asking to keep them both happy just like today.
