Later after the dinner when i was ready to go back to my room, Revti aunty asked me to sleep in Abhishek's room only saying that Ruchika will be with Trisha. How much i wanted to oppose but i could not, granted Trisha gave her consent. So i entered his room with a knock and he looked surprised seeing me there as he motioned me to come in. "Hi." "Hi.." i stood in my place expecting him to ask me what am i doing here, but he just looked at me. "I..actually.. i will have to sleep here today..Aunty forced me.." "So why are you afraid?" "I'm not afraid.." i mumbled as i moved to take out the bag that i bought from my home. It was still unpacked. I took out my night suit and went to change it. When i came back, i found Abhishek sitting on the right side of the bed and scrolling on his mobile. It seemed like he was waiting for me as he gave me a s
"Hey bro.. sorry if i disturbed your sleep, you can give the phone to Lavi." Came the urgent voice of Vansh. "Talk to me whatever you wanted. She is sleeping." Abhishek anwered. "huh, lavanya doesn't sleep so soon. Give the phone to her." Abhishek gave me the phone, glaring at me and motioned me to talk here, on speaker. What did i do now? "Yeah, Vansh!" "Oh lavi...is the khadoos listening us?" Abhishek glared at me again and i clearly wanted to cry now. I never knew Vansh referred Abhishek as khadoos, why now? "Answer me!" Abhishek shook his head and mouthed a 'no' and i repeated his syllable, nodding my head. "Good then. I called you to inform that kritika's brother will also accompany her tomorrow so you need to make a plan. I can't have my date if he is there. He doesn't know about me." Vansh complained and i wanted to bang my head as the brown eyes kept boring on my skull. "I..I wi---" "She won't." Abhishek spoke and cutted the call before turning towards me.
Abhishek's Pov. My home where i lived for two years now and considered it to be my land, never seemed so accurate. A land. Just a land. I was too furious on Lavanya, completely pissed off as how could she be so irresponsible but the moment i entered my villa, the things seemed to be affected by her absence.The villa looked like an abundant place which was void of any comfort. Though it had all the luxuries, it lacked the feeling of home. I was confused because no day felt so lonely as today. Even when i was not married, it did not affected me then why now?The answer of my question was Lavanya. When i sat on the dining table, scrolling on my social media, i kept on waiting for the food. I forgot that the house workers never cooked the meals after Lavanya came here. I realized, they must have gone by then and i walked to kitchen to cook something. But to my surprise, i didn't wanted to cook. I was too habitual of getting cooked meal from past weeks that i found cooking a huge task.
6:27 was the time that the clock showed and it was still early knowing everyone here wakes up normally around 7 or 8. I noticed Lavanya sleeping as she clutched my hand and had scooted closer to me. She was looking like a painting that i would never want to draw, because it meant betrating her inner beauty.I seperated myself, careful to not disturb her and moved to kitchen to make the coffee. I found Trisha washing a plate and i immediately stopped her. "Hey, what are you doing?""I..Actually Yathu, i mean Yatharth, came unannouced in the midnight and was hungry, so i prepared some oats for him." She told me. "If you don't mind."I shook my head and took the bar and the plate from her and continued to scrub it. "Lavanya is so tensed for you. If she gets to know that you were washing these plates, in my presence, she will rip me off" "Do you love her?" The scrubbing came to a pause as i heard Trisha and shook my head. "But you came here, the instant you got to know abour her acciden
"ThankGod this man left. He is such a pain in my a--what??" Vansh groaned in pain as i hit him on his head. Abhishek hardly left a second ago and Vansh started his complaints. I shook my head at his childish behavior and went inside the house, with Vansh behind me, where tons of helpers were called . It was decided that all the functions except the engagement ceremony, wedding and the reception of course, will take place here. The three functions will be organised in des'ta clubs and the banquet hall. I recently got to know more about Abhishek's company - de'sta. It is the collection of 7 hotels, 13 restaurants, 11 lawns and 16 banquet halls all over, india. It is a well reputated company known for the modesty and their elegant look. And the fun fact was, I never went in any one of them. Why? They are quite expensive, and dad and I were rarely invited in any function. "Lavanya, i hope you can handle the decorations of all the events and can check on Harini's dresses?" Revti aunty a
Are you done? " I asked once they were finished and they looked dead at me. "No, if anything else is left, go ahead. Go ahead and show me the deepest you can fall.""And uncle, did you looked at your hands? They too are painted black like your clothes. And to all the aunties who are commenting in my dignity, have you guys forgotten that You all tried to convince me to marry a suitable guy? Go ahead, and show your children to behave like you all are doing, in their future. Show them that it's cool and hilarious to paint someone black and say ill about their families. Show them that it's fuvking cool to spread the rumors. Go ahead Guys! Go ahead! " I surely looked like a maniac who fought alone with a bunch of people who looked at her like a criminal. "And uncle, next time bring a deeper shade of black which at least compares to all your black hearts! And sharda aunty, you are a mother right? You so easily said that my friend will loose her unborn? What will you feel if I say the same
"How are you so strong, after all this?" I asked Manisha."I'm not strong, lavanya. This manisha, was never strong. But this mother who wants to give her baby a respectful life, is. You are my hope. Just understand that your battle is bigger than it looks." She later told me how the gardener who was appointed here to look after the garden, was tortured by our neighbours that he just went ghost the next day. Since then she has been watering the plants when everyone here are locked inside their houses. She told me how my dad's brothers had created a drama here and claimed to have given my father a loan of 50 lakhs for my marriage. They even tried to invade this house but one of the lawyers opposed it and issued a warning to them. Since then, they are taking rounds to the local court to give them this house in place of their loans. "Dad never took any loan. And even if he did, his family members would not even include in his list." I told her, disgusted by the happenings and she asked
"Now you tell me the next step." I sighed and turned to the man who had saved my dad's life once. His name was Rajendra.He looked deep in his thoughts. "Your dad had left a will. He had named every asset of his under your name. So it also makes you liable for his loans. Now we know that your dad didn't took any loan, but the court doesn't. So we need to prove it now! " i nodded."There is no such thing!" "What are you saying uncle? YOU are saying that there is no such thing to put forth the truth? I did not expected it from you." If my trick works, he would surely take out some way."there is no such thing to prove the truth, until the conspirators accept it by their own." He said after a minute. "I can help you but you need to plan everything now."________Shivji, you need to show me the right path. You always stood by the truth, this time too, you have to. And i know you will !I tied the dhaga of mannat for the first time and prayed My Shiv ji. I came back to the priest and he g
"Now spread it like this." Lavanya slided the plastic knife over the bread and her 16 month son tried to take the knife from his mom. "Ok, now its your turn." She helped him spread the home-made jam over the bread.Once done, vihaan took the bread and ate it with his little teeth. The strawberry taste of the gem made him spin around and wave his hands in air. His way of saying wonderful. Lavanya laughed with him and quickly ate a bite of the bread before copying him. The baby giggled and spread his arms for her to pick him up and hug him. She did and kissed his chubby cheeks."Lavii, is breakfast ready?" Abhishek asked, descending the chairs while adjusting his watch. "Daddaaa.." Vihaan screamed in joy and pulled lavanya's hairs in excitement. Lavanya hissed keeping him down and the kid ran to his father."Careful, vihu!" Lavanya shouted but who she was kidding? Vihaan knew every inch of the house, even the corners she didn't knew before.She shook her head before taking the breakfa
"Shh...stop crying baby, look mumma has so many toys. Wanna play?" I tried to console my two month old baby boy, Vihaan, who was crying continuously from an hour. No matter how hard i try, he didn't stopped crying."Hungry? Is my boy hungry? Come, mumma will feed you." I opened the buttons of blowse and took Vihaan near my breasts but he didn't latched like other times and now tears pooled in my eyes. "What happened baby? Are you angry from mumma? Please stop crying."I hooked back my blowse and took him in a hug, patting his back. "My baby, my sweetheart. Stop crying." I cooed but he was not in the mood to shut his crying. "Are you hurt somewhere? Let mumma see." His tears were like a dagger for me.I laid him down on the mattress and took off his clothes slowly until he was in his birthsuit. I checked for any discomfort but there was none. "You want massage? Lets massage you!" I took the baby oil from the side table and started massaging him while making some funny faces.For a seco
The next day, abhishek took lavanya to kanpur and left her there with a heavy heart. He drove back, not wanting to see her never-ending tears. Their family tried to stop him but he just shook his head.Due to driving so much, his body was sore and he laid on his bed (after informing that he reached) to take a nap. But an hour passed and he was still wide awake. He missed his wife in his arms and the bump he will always draw patterns in. While in Kanpur, lavanya sat in her new bed as she munched in her sweet-corns, and ignored everyone who tried to talk to her."I agree she is angry from bhai, but why is she not talking to us?" Vansh was irritated. Ruchika nodded her head as everytime she went to feel the baby, lavanya asked her to leave her alone. "Its her hormones, beta. She is just upset that Abhishek left her here. In no time, her mood will automatically change." Revti answered."Lets cook her favorite dish, she will be fine." Sonali suggested and all agreed. .. Lavanya looked
Pregnancy comes with many hardships. And with lavanya, it was already worsening day by day. She kept vomitting everything she ate and the morning nausea did not let her sleep properly. Abhishek tried his best to convince her to eat even if she vomits it. But lavanya had strictly told him that she will only live by water, but she won't vomit. It took all her energy. "Baby, if you won't eat anything, how will you take care of our baby?" He said rubbing her back as she laid over him, like a lazy dog. "I already feel exhausted in two months. Vomitting just makes it worst." She mumbled, trying to sleep. "Because you are not eating anything. You want to have your milk shake? Ice-cream or anything?" He asked, not caring if it was healthy or not. He only wanted her to eat anything or it might be a problem. "No. I just want to sleep." He sighed at her answer and rubbed her back, patting it slightly. "If you don't eat four meals atleast in a day, i'm going to tell your students that you w
The two days went in a blink as the day of their reception arrived. It was also the completion of six months of their marriage and thus Lavanya performed the rituals of removing the chuda with the ladies. She was excited. One day back, she resigned from her job and decided to open her own psychology classes after they return from their honeymoon. Vansh proposed Kritika near the India gate and the latter cried in happiness. Their parents were happy and they decided to marry them in the next year. Lavanya got ready in her gown that she saved before, when arms snaked through her waist. "You look stunning." Abhishek muttered, hugging her and she leaned back. "And you look beautiful." She said, muffling her laughter, knowing he only loved 'handsome, hot and sexy' as compliment. He twirled her in his arms and pulled her close. "Beautiful, huh?" He slammed his lips on hers and she kissed him back, messing his hairs. "Now what's your take?" He asked as she panted for air. "You are
"Abhishek, it's difficult. It's too difficult to cope up with the new atmosphere especially when you are a child who could not speak properly. There were only few who would try to understand me patiently, without making fun of me. Most of them would only make me feel differentiated, as if I was not a human who can be hurt too. Just because I chose to not fight back, so my dad won't get to know about all of it, they thought I was their.. Experiment bag. They would lock me in empty rooms, tear my notebooks, hide my bag, throw water on me and most importantly, they would hurt me by their sharp language. Or pata hai, ek baar jab aap ye soch lete ho ki shayad aap me hi koi kami hogi, toh har buri cheez hone me aap apne aap ko hi blame krte ho. Koi aapka message seen krke chor de, abruptly call end krde, aapki taraf dekh ke Hass de, ya apni nazre pher le. Aisa lagta ki you are just worthless. Confidence ki toh band baj jati hai. Na Mai class me kabhi answer de paayi, na kabhi kisi competi
As lavanya opened the doors of their room, she looked at the black suit jacket of Abhishek, hanging on the railings. She ignored it, going down when she noticed that the dining table was all set with the breakfast and Abhishek was just sitting on his chair. Just sitting. When he felt her presence, he turned to look at her and for a second their eyes met, before she averted her eyes. Once again, she felt uncomfortable from his gaze. It was as if she had gone to square one. All the progress, all the steps she made towards him, were going vain. She took her handbag from the table, ignoring the shivers his eyes sent her. And before she could take step away, he stopped her by wrist and she hissed. His hold loosened and he made her sit on a the chair next to his and took the first-aid box that he made sure to bring here. He put the ointment in her wrist, on the cuts. She hissed in the sensation and he fought back the tear that was about to escape, knowing it was because of him and his an
"CUT THE DRAMA AND SPEAK PROPERLY." He yelled back and all the flashes, i thought i was over with, came running back. #"Vaishnavi, please open the door. Its..its smellind (smelling) here. Please let me tome (come) . I promise to never answer you bact (back) ..please open the door." I cried, banging the door of the girl's washeroom but she didn't complied.Instead she just laughed. "No, you bitxh. You need to be reminded that you can't take my place. How dare you top the exams when you can't even speak properly. You never gave the answers in class, i did. And you managed to top the papers? Now keep shouting from here because no one enters this wing."She left.I kept sobbing there, yelling my lungs out, but no one helped. It was only after the sweeper came and opened the door. I could not even tell him or anyone what happened, because it only meant another torture. #"And its a DOAL (goal) ...Yeahh" i jumped in happiness as our team won the basketb
Today was the reception of the couple, we missed the marriage of. Abhishek had already cleared his schedule and was getting ready in my old room while here i was struggling with the plates of my saree. Everytime i tried to pin it, it would open again because of my shaking fingers.I didn't know why but i felt anxious and like an old habit, my fingers felt a lot weak. I tried to crack the fingers but it was not of any help. I was going frustrated how i could not even wear a saree when i wear it almost everyday. "Lavanya, are you ready?" Abhishek asked knocking the door and i sighed sitting on bed and telling him to come in. And when he saw my condition, he asked me with concern, "what happened?""I don't know. Its just the plates i can't set properly." "So wear the dress you bought for their marriage." He suggested, giving me a glass of water that i gulped quickly. "It is such a pretty dress. I want to save it for another auspicious day
