Chapter 52: Chapter 52

I don't know why am I getting this much of troubles in order? If I sighed in relief for a particular matter then there came an array of problems like waiting in the queue. This kind of my life starts after my father's death - Financial problems - Robert and Maanvi's death - Allen's Xenophobia - Broken heart with my love - Unexpected engagement - Mom's health issues - unexpected bride and wedding....my God! I signed again. Now, Where is Dhiya? She would never agree to marry Madhan. They are best friends. I never ever doubt there friendship like others do because I knew them well.

I fish the phone from my pocket and phoned her. I think it may be roughly 200th time I am hearing that her phone was switched off. I laid in the couch. I have no idea about Dhiya. Did she is ok? Whether she is going to the hospital? One thing, I am sure that Dhiya did the same even before as She tried to avoid me to safeguard her cousin's relationship with me. I never ever! Why can't I call Madhan? Why did my brain become so inactive these days? Keeping my thoughts aside, I phoned Madhan with a huge expectation of a reply from him. The only thing I wish to hear from him is Dhiya's how about and her whereabouts. As expectation hurts, Madhan didn't pick up the call. He might call me once he sees the missed call.

I was blankly looking at my mobile often. I didn't get any call for the last two hours. I heard Maa's sound from the kitchen. I kept the phone in my pant pocket and went down to have dinner along with Siddhu and Maa.

I can feel a type of guilt in maa's eyes. But what to do? Why didn't she give me space before the wedding? Hence spoiled three lives. Now I didn't bother and care because maa knew the pain that I was undergoing. After having the food as usual I took the tablets and gave to maa then I came to my room silently.

My phone rang. I ran my hand through my pant pocket and picked up the phone immediately. It was an unknown number and nowadays I never miss the calls if I get from unknown number thinking that might be Dhiya's call.

I switched on and pressed the phone in my ear, "Hello"

"Hello, Akshadh," Janu from another side.

I signed.

"We reached home safely. Really, I miss you a lot. I will come to you as soon as possible. Did you have food?" She speaks her thoughts out.

"Hmm," I hummed and disconnected the call.

Two days passed by waiting for Phone calls either from Dhiya or Madhan. Okay! What to do next? I am in deep thinking, Yes! Why can't I call Dhiya's hospital and get her mobile number? Good Idea but very late. I hope this is the best way.

Somehow I picked up the hospital number from the internet and phoned to the number given below. I am sure not to inform my details. I talk like a stranger who needs immediate help from that hospital management.

"Sir, Dhiya Madam is not here. So, now it is under the control of her father," A nurse replied.

I was shocked, "Where did she go and when will she return back? It is something important and contact me when your M.D comes back"

"Okay sir, " She disconnected the call.

A kind of mild pain occupied my heart. Looking at the phone often showers me disappointment then I closed my eyes for a while and I don't know when I slept.

******

Two days passed slowly. Akshadh didn't get any clue about Dhiya. Madhan also didn't call him back hence Akshadh came to the conclusion that Dhiya might have informed Madhan not to claim about her whereabouts.

The next day, Janu came along with her cousin Ravinder. She knew that Akshadh would never pick her up so she came to Delhi immediately after completing the rituals.

Ravinder had random talks with Akshadh and his family. After that Siddhu went out to meet his friend. Before leaving, Ravinder took two flight tickets and gave it to Akshadh.

Akshadh blinked. Ravinder replied, "Akshadh Ji, this is honeymoon flight tickets. Enjoy and begin your wonderful life with our beloved Janu, " Akshadh gazed him shockingly. Janu looked at Akshadh as here, Janu was not aware of the plan. Her cousin didn't inform anything about the flight tickets. It was a shock to Janu also. After that, Ravinder left.

"Hey Janu, what are you thinking in your mind? Honeymoon!!! Hopefully, you might have arranged this, " Akshadh fumed in anger.

"I don't know anything about it, Akshadh, " she replied.

He looked bluntly for a while and threw away the tickets in the floor and stepped towards his room. She picked up the tickets from the floor at that time Akshadh's maa came. Seeing the tears in Janu's eyes, "Janu don't worry, don't cry. I don't know what to say. Give time for the time to change everything. Be patient, "

"Ok aunt. I am okay now, " she wiped away the tears and showed a fake smile. Sometimes later she moved to her room. Akshadh was lying in the bed placing his hand in the forehead.

Janu stood next to him.

"Akshadh, really I don't know anything about the honeymoon trip. It is the plan by either by my cousin or from family. Don't mistake me, "

He turned the other side. Then, Janu placed all her dresses in order.

"Get ready!" He said.

Janu looked around 'Is it my imagination? Did he talk to me now?'

"Can't you hear me?" he groaned.

"Ready? Where?" She asked surprisingly as she never expects. Her lips carved a beautiful smile.

"To meet my friend, " he replied and went out.

"Friend??" She was thinking for a while may be a party or something. Anyways! Thank God! For the good day.

She got ready with her favourite red salwar. She had applied simple make up. She was almost jumping out of joy. Her happiness has no limits.

Akshadh got ready by the next ten minutes. Akshadh's maa looked at him weirdly but she didn't ask anything to him. Then she averted her gaze to Janu and admired the smile in Janu's face.

Within next few minutes, He started the car and she occupied the passenger seat. She enjoyed the journey and often she looked at him.  Sometimes later, her inner self was struggling for happiness after seeing him because his face didn't carry any sort of reaction. She didn't question him anything. The journey was silent.



They reached an apartment where his friend Rahul Mishra welcomed them. Janu showed a small smile. He smiled back. There was no sign of a party or function.

They were in the living room. Akshadh and Janu occupied the chairs. He was sitting in front of them. She had a quick glance and her eyes struck at the photos placed in the living room. She confirmed the man who was sitting in front of her might be a lawyer. Yeah, she was right. She was shocked and her eyes got wet. She looked at Akshadh who initiated the talk.

"Rahul, She is Januvika. Please arrange the divorce soon, " his words break her into pieces. She sat dumbstruck. Her dreams get shattered within a fraction of second.

"Akshadh, as I told you before that there is no way to divorce earlier. Minimum you both have to live together for at least six months, " he replied. It meant Akshadh might have already met Rahul Mishra immediately after his marriage. He informed everything to him but Divorce is not easy for the couple who didn't complete at least six months.

"Six months? No way Rahul. Do something and arrange quickly in any possible ways, " said Akshadh and Rahul shifted his eyes to Januvika.

"What is your opinion madam?" Rahul asked Januvika.

Hiding her tears away, "Sir, I can't give him a divorce. Give us some time and I will make everything set in the path, " She said in a low tone.

Akshadh signed and Rahul glanced at Akshadh.

"This is the problem. How can one force to live with the one who is not interested? Janu, please understand. Don't spoil your life too. I can't love you or give you the status of wife that I am mentioning clearly from the very beginning. If not today then tomorrow you are going to leave me and my life, plz understand the reality, Janu " Akshadh tried to make her understand. She showed a broken fake smile.

"I can't leave you better kill me instead of these words, " she replied and went out unable to control the tears flowing from her eyes. She was standing in the balcony. Tears from her eyes blurred the beautiful view of the garden.

Janu sends silent prayers to God thinking that she would use the chance and change Akshadh's mindset. Her family arranged for Honeymoon but Askhadh arranged for Divorce.
