Chapter 56: Chapter 56
Akshadh's POV
On that day after meeting my friend Rahul regarding the divorce, I received a call from Mr.John from the U.S. He gave me happy information regarding Allen's adoption.
"Akshadh, the other parties (Allen's relation) who were ready to get vapous for the case regarding the adoption as they knew the case was very strong in our side and we were going to win. They wished to have a mutual talk with you regarding the properties of Robert and Maanvi so your presence here is necessary now and after that, we can officially adopt Allen. I think it may take fifteen days, "
"Thank you, John. It was a wonderful news. After two years of trying, we are going to adapt Allen successfully. I will try to come there by this weekend. I will inform you later, "
In my painful heart, it happened a good thing. I didn't inform anyone regarding it. I missed Dhiya a lot. She would be the happiest person if she came to know it. I remembered our past where Dhiya wished to adapt Allen and but I scolded her thinking about her future, it happened before our love and after that she considered Allen as her own daughter. I knew how much she loves Allen. I wished to give her happiness.
In one hand, I set guards to find Dhiya and on the other hand, I tried to find any kind of changes in Janu but both went in vain. Apart from these, Allen occupied me fully. I tried to solve the problem by connecting Allen, Dhiya and Janu. I mean, I need to adapt Allen and at the same time, I need to find Dhiya and took steps for Divorcing Janu. Janu's adamant was overtaking everything so I relate her with Rahul's words. Only loneliness gives a chance for her to think. Finally, I came with a conclusion to take Janu with me while going to U.S especially to adapt Allen and officially announce that she was my daughter to the world.
Finally, reached U.S. It's been a long time I come here. Usually, I would come twice a month to see Allen but after all these issues I was totally out of mind. I knew my Allen might miss me a lot. I am longing to see her.
Mr.John picked us in the airport and when I entered my flat. I was worried to the core. The time I spend lastly with Dhiya and Allen in the same flat occupied me and started killing me in alive. I thought that I would come with Dhiya and I dreamt a lot but everything gets collapsed in a single day. Now, Dhiya is hiding from me. My fate! My face changed to pale and unable to control my emotions. I took long steps to reach my room and closed it. The same room we spend together. This room has a lot of memories than others. After, collecting all the memories, I cherish it in my heart thinking that all my dreams come true very soon.
Sometimes later, I came out and informed Janu to use the other room. I can't allow her in my room. It is completely wrong. She is the one I'm going to divorce. She should start to live on her own. She shouldn't depend on me. If she started living without me by now, she won't get hurt when she leaves me. I arranged all the grocery items before leaving.
I went to meet Mr.John in the orphanage. He informed me before itself that Allen went with her uncle in the morning and he would reach here by the next day so I spend my time with the children in the orphanage. After a long, I found the hidden me. I smiled from my heart. I don't know how the time runs.
"Akshadh sir, tomorrow we are going to meet Allen's family members. Let us conclude everything by tomorrow itself and after fifteen days you can take Allen along with you, " said John standing beside me.
"Ok, John. Sure, " he smiled
Thinking for a long, "Akshadh sir, you knew that I was in Singapore for two months. I came here yesterday only so I couldn't contact you regularly to know your how abouts. Where is Dhiya madam? Who is that lady?" He questioned me
"No problem John. I thought of saying but. Everything has a time, " I know there is nothing to hide with John. He was the one who stands with me after my friend's death. He was the one who helps me to adapt to Allen in all possible ways. He matches my best friend Robert. I said everything, unexpected engagement to Marriage - then Dhiya's absence........
"Sorry, sir...Don't worry. Your Good heart will pay you only your likes at the end of the day. I will add you in my prayers, " he said a few consoling words.
I smiled....
Sometimes later, I reached home. It was 11.55 p.m. I found Janu sleeping. I turned off all the lights and came to my room. I slept with some sort of happiness after a long.
I woke up early before the alarm rang. I got out from the flat about 5 a.m and picked John from his apartment. We started the journey and after two hours we reached Allen's relative's home. I was very much happier to see my Allen. I guessed she might sleep now.
As John said, Allen's family members came to the mutual talk. They agree to give Allen to me wholeheartedly. Then, there came the talk regarding the properties of Robert and Maanvi. My friend is the one who involved in social service until his death. They said, "Akshadh sir, we were lawfully giving few properties to Allen, "
"Within two weeks, she would become my daughter officially so my daughter no need these properties. I will take care of her in all her stages of life. If you wished to give then please donate it to the orphanage owned by my friend Robert, only this would make him happy and let his soul rest in peace, " I replied.
"Yeah right!! It was one of the wishes of Robert. We would take necessary steps for it, "
"Okay arrange it. Thank you. Let us see in court, " said Akshadh.
Meanwhile, Allen came from the side room and held my hand happily. She was jumping out of Joy. I took her happily in my hands and placed a soft kiss in her cheeks. She was looking into my eyes and I was happily smiling at her. I placed another kiss in her forehead. She caressed my hairs by her tiny little soft hands.
"How about you baby?" I asked lovingly.
"I am super fine daddy. I miss you a lottttttttt. Where did you go these many days? I thought of fighting with you, regarding this, " she talked bit mature than before. I smiled at her. Then, I took Allen in my hands and we bid bye to her family members.
"Allen, sweety. I am sorry. This time while going to India, I am going to take you with me, " I said happily looking at her.
"Really daddy??? Yayyyyyyyyy, " she wrapped her hands around my neck.
"Yes baby, " I could see the happiness in her face.
"John uncle, I am going to be with my daddy and mumma, " she shared her happiness with John who was walking next to me.
"Mumma???" I stood dumbstruck.
"Daddy, Mumma came to see me before a week. I missed you very badly. Did she inform you?"
"Mumma!!! Came?, " I asked happiness mixed excited tone.
"Yes daddy, she came together with uncle, " Thinking!!!! "Madhan, Uncle,"
"Ohh! Did she inform about her arrival next time? " I asked in curiosity.
"No daddy. She said that she came to the U.S to meet me and she planned to go to .........., " thinking!!!! "Sorry, daddy I forgot the place she mentioned, I will inform you when I remember. Didn't Mumma inform you?"
Tears wetted my eyes, "Nope, baby, " I replied and started the journey.
After two hours, they reached the orphanage. Akshadh spends some time with Allen and he informed John to notify the presence of Dhiya if she again comes there. Also, keep it as secret and Dhiya shouldn't know about it.
"John, Is there any possibility to trace Dhiya's availability?"
"Yup, I will try...my friend will help you. I will ask him to contact you before evening, " said John and Akshadh thanked him.
Later, I came home as I informed Janu. I was waiting for the call. Unexpectedly, Janu took off my phone without understanding my seriousness. I knew she is adjusting my play for her love and I hope she would understand it sooner. I felt guilty too regarding Allen's adoption because she is Maanvi's friend and hopefully she would be happy but I didn't inform anything about it. I think it is not necessary now and she may create anything new.
As I expected I got a call from Mr.John,
"Akshadh sir, my friend is in the conference call, Do you have any clues regarding Dhiya?"
"Only her phone number but it is switched off now.. Only Allen had seen her with Madhan.. You can try with tracing using Madhan's phone number sir, I will text you. If I get any other clues, I will contact you, " said Akshadh and he ended the call after some time.
*************
Janu who was standing back of Akshadh heard a very few and she was shocked to hear Allen's name, her close friend's daughter. She knew Allen was in the U.S and she thought that Allen was with her uncle. Did Akshadh come here for Allen? Did Akshadh is spending time with Allen? Yeah! Now I got it....

Yes! Few guessed, Dhiya may be with Allen..I hope you were happy to get some information about Dhiya...
Janu's POV
I was very happy and delighted to be with Akshadh. It was our first distance Journey after our wedding. Every situation in life comes to make us realise about our strength, weakness, love, hopes etc but this phase of my life especially this journey gives me a hope that I am sure here we would get the turning point. I will try my best to make my love win. Now, We are facing the opposite path but while returning, I wished us to be together.
After going to the airport only I came to know that we are moving to the U.S. I can't forget this travel happy moments. Akshadh was seated next to me. Even our fingers didn't touch but butterflies started crawling in me. He took care of me and that gets added to my happiness. After a few hours of travel, we reached the U.S. From the airport itself, someone picked us. He introduced himself as Mr.John. I think he was Akshadh's close friend from their converse. He dropped us in front of the flat. It was not a big apartment. It resembles my home. Mr.John left. Akshadh and I entered into the flat. There I found Akshadh's photo in the wall. I had a question about the flat that Is it belongs to him? But I didn't ask seeing his face. His face changed and he entered inside a room and closed the door. I was sitting blankly in the couch for ten minutes and after that I started to observe the other three-rooms. There were no clues of dust or spider web. I think, Akshadh was allowing someone to clean.
I took my phone and informed about the presence in the U.S both to my parents and Akshadh's maa. Akshadh was still in the room. I looked outside from the flat. There was an apartment nearby and I could see only busy people. Then, I entered in and found Akshadh.
"Akshadh, Are you okay? " I asked him caringly after observing his face for a few seconds.
He sighed, "It's ok. You can use that room," he pointed an empty room filled with a bed, a dressing table, wardrobe and a big stand to keep the things. I was not satisfied with his reply so I questioned him, "Why I need to stay there? I will stay in your room only." I said strictly.
"Don't argue, I have no words to proceed the argument and finally you won't agree," he said frustratingly.
"Akshadh, we are married and why I need to stay in separate rooms?" I asked him seriously because his words give me annoyance.
"Yup but in very soon I am going to divorce you. I think you knew already but still, I am making my point very clear that as per the divorce norms we should stay together and we are !! that's it. I am not ready to hear any of your replies," said him.
"Ohh...I knew ... But ...I think you are scared of staying with me thinking that I might change you," I said and I knew this sounds funny to him.
He smiled..... "Ok!! Let it be...All the grocery items, fruits, veggies, nuts etc will be available here soon. Eat healthily and stay strong," he said and left the place without even hearing her reply.
As he said, all the cooking necessary items were received and I started preparing food for dinner.
"I am going out. Lock the door and be careful," he said holding his car keys..
"Where are you going at this time? In this new place?" I asked the normal questions that every wife care for her husband.
Pausing....."This is not a new place for me...Prepare and have the food. I will come here a bit lately and you sleep. I have an alternate key," he said and went.
What is he thinking in his mind? Really bothering me to the core. If aunt is there, he can be controlled a bit but he never heeded to me..Let me think and have to make a check for this.
Preparation of the dinner mood got totally spoiled. I kept everything in the refrigerator and boiled the milk alone. Later, I had the milk and came to the room allotted by him to me. I sat there blankly for sometimes and took my mobile and started browsing.
After the wedding, I was using the mobile for a long time. I checked my Facebook, WhatsApp everything. I remembered Dhiya because I used to reply to her first. I opened her page and her last scene was the day before my wedding. I felt really sorry for her. Every day we used to talk daily but after Akshadh's entry, I totally got changed. Where did she go? Like our family, I don't have any idea. It is because of the stupid people's mouth. Even I was wrong there. After the marriage, I tried to contact her but her phone was switched off. Madhan is also not attending the call. I am sorry Dhiya for not understanding and caring you!
After using social media for long, my eyes got tired and drifted to sleep.
The next day,
The sun's brightness falls on me through the glass window and I was disturbed from the sleep. I looked at the clock with half-opened eyes that was placed opposite to the bed. My God!! 9'0 clock...Hurriedly, I jumped out of bed and went to refresh. After refreshing, I took long steps and didn't find Akshadh in his room. Did he reach home yesterday? I patted my head for being so careless. Immediately, I phoned him.
He picked up, "Janu, I will come afternoon," he ended the call. I tried after that but he didn't pick up the phone. I got worried about his attitude.
Past is past, I should be cautious about his arrival and departure from the next time. Maximum, I must try to keep check for it. Sometimes later, I had a banana and a cup of milk. Then, I started preparing lunch. After completing, I sat blankly. I have really no idea. I am not the type of girl who sits home lonely who invites overthinking concepts freely and getting issues. In my free time, I involved myself in social service and I can't capture my passing time. Now, I was really feeling bored and lonely. From morning to till now, I have contacted my parents and mother in law for two times. I don't want to disturb them often.
Everything was opposite to my point of thinking, I thought that Akshadh would be available with me 24×7 but rarely he stays. I have no idea about his presence yesterday. I thought that we would move out to some places but he is not even giving me space in his room...
As Akshadh told, he reached home afternoon. I didn't initiate the talk and he too.
Breaking the calmness, "Akshadh, Let us have the food?"
"Let you have. I had food at outside," he replied gently making me angry.
"Why? Why are you doing this to me?" He cut me in between, "started?" He went away.
I was sitting in the living room. Tears touched my cheeks.
Again, I went to him who was sitting out. Looking at his phone often.
"Akshadh, come!! Let us have food,"
"Januvika, I had,"
"Then, I don't want to have. Let me fast. If you eat, I will or else I don't want," I said strictly looking at him.
"Janu, plz!! Don't skip the food. I was waiting for an important call. Don't disturb me," he said. Phone call!! I got enraged to the core. I snatched the phone from his hand and ran inside.
"Januvika! Don't play. Give me. It is a very important call," he walked forwarding me.
"Nope! Whoever let me talk first!" I said strictly. His closeness towards me tuned my anger mood to a happy mood. He came very close to me. I hide the phone by holding my hands backside. He tried a lot to get the phone without touching me.
"Januvika, give me...." He said in massive tone..
"Nope,"
He tried to snatch the phone. I ran and hide the phone here and there. Finally, he holds me and his chest touch my face. I could smell the aroma from him. I lost my courage due to our closeness. I kept the phone in one hand and hugged him by the other. He snatched the phone finally and I hugged him tightly. The tears from my eyes wetted his shirt.
"Akshadh, please don't leave me. I can't live without you," I hugged him and cried. He pushed me gently and looked at my face with a kind of guilt occupied in his face.
Meanwhile, his phone rang and he moved out. He attended and I was standing back listening to his converse....The important phone call! Makes me listen to the converse.
