Chapter 43: Chapter 43

NAINA KUMARI

I was walking to go downstairs wiping my tears with the back of my palm. On the way, I bumped into someone. I lift my gaze and found Vansh standing against me.

"What happened Naina? Why're you crying?"

Vansh asked me in a panicked tone.

I looked back at the door where I found my husband and his lover kissing passionately. I took my eyes off there and looked back at Vansh. He also follows my gaze to know, what I'm looking at.

"Do you like him?" Vansh asked me hesitantly. And I look at him surprisingly.

"I apologize if I ask something personal. I'm asking you cause I have seen them going up there and you're also coming from there crying. So I thought....." He paused intentionally.

"Nah, it's not like that. I'm not crying. My eyes are burning cause I have applied kajal on my eyes and I'm allergic to it. That's why I was searching for the washroom." I said a white lie plastering a forced smile on my face.

"Ohh, so what's the matter? Then come with me." Saying that he caught my wrist and took me with him.

We both get into a room. Looking at the view I figured out that it was his room. As there was a big portrait of his hanging on the big wall.

"Go. And wash your eyes properly." He motioned at the washroom door and I marched towards there.

After freshening up I came out and found him sitting on his bed with dangling legs.

"Now feeling better?" He asked me getting up from the bed.

"Yeah," I responded with a small smile.

"Can we go back downstairs now?" He asked.

"Yeah, of course." I nodded and we both left the room.

"Where have you been, girl? I thought you got lost." When I reached Puneet bhai came running in my direction.

"I apologize for making you worried." I apologized.

"Can't you take care of your girlfriend Puneet?" Vansh taunts him with a witty smirk.

"Fuck off!!" And he rolled his eyes.

"Why should I? If you ever lie to me next time then I'll beat the shit out of you. Keep in mind." Puneet bhai glared at him. Making faces Vansh takes his leave.

"Were you crying?" Suddenly Puneet bhai asked me. He must have witnessed my red puffy, swollen eyes.

"No, it's nothing like that. My eyes were burning due to allergies. So it's become like this. Don't worry I have washed them with cold water. They will be fine " I assured him with a forced smile.

"Don't lie to me..... " Narrowing his eyes at me he said.

Suddenly, we heard someone's voice catching our attention to him. It was Vansh on the stage holding a mic.

"Hello, guys."

"I'm glad that you all come here to give your blessings and good wishes to my brother and sister-in-law."

"It's a happy and romantic situation. I'd like to use this chance to speak my mind."

"Umm, I like a girl. We've known each other not for a long time. But time isn't a fact. But feelings. I was confused about my feelings for her. But with time I gradually realized that I'd been into her."

"He's in love? He didn't even tell us about this. But who's his love?" I talked to Puneet bhai.

"How would I know? We'll get to know soon. Have some patience girl." Puneet bhai told me.

"Why do I like her? I don't know the specific reason. When I'm with her, I feel happy. I want to spend more time with her. I don't know what magic she knows but she really can make my mood better. And can bring a smile to someone's lips. She's the brightest star in my world. I really love the feeling of being with her."

"Then I realized that I'd fallen in love with her. I'd like to keep that feeling and move on with it. I want her to be with me for the rest of my life."

"Since, there are so many guests on this occasion today. I want to pursue my love in front of you. I'll tell her my feelings. Could you guys be my witnesses?" He yelled in glee.

And all the lights turned off. Making the place fall into darkness.

Suddenly a spotlight falls on me forcing me to close my eyes. When I opened my eye, I gasped. My hand automatically went to my mouth and cover it. My eyes went wide open when I witnessed the scene in front of me.

Vansh was on his knees holding a ring in his hand forwarding towards me.

I snapped my head to look at Puneet bhai. Who was also looking shocked like me?

"You thought I was unreliable and wasn't serious because of the many things I did and the words I said." He began to speak again and I was standing stunned in my place not knowing what to do.

"But what I'm saying now, I mean it. I mean it so much. They may be the most serious words I've ever said." I heard him chuckle.

"I hope, I could be with you. Whether you're in the high light or the sticky patch of your life." My heart is hammering inside my ribcage. And feeling goosebumps all over my body.

"I also hope, you'll be in each day of my life. You taught me so many things too. It's the best thing to meet you. It's my luck to meet you.

So, WILL YOU MARRY ME?"

After that, the light came but he was still in his previous position. His word's caught me off guard. What should I say I couldn't able mustered my words.

Before I could say anything he fall to the floor getting a hard punch on his face. It happened so fast that I couldn't able to understand what was going on there.

I saw very angry Kunwar Sa standing in front of me fisting his hands. I have never seen him this much angry before.

Vansh get up wiping his blood which was oozing out from the corner of his lips. Kunwar Sa didn't stop with one punch he marched toward him with another punch holding him by his collar. This time Vansh also punched him.

"What the hell is your problem man?" Vansh asked him angrily.

"You. You are my problem." Kunwar Sa shouted at him fuming in anger. Vansh punched him hard and due to that punch, his nose began to bleed.

"How do I become your problem?" Vansh asked seething in anger.

"I truly love her and asking her to marry me then what's bothering you?" Vansh yelled at him in fury.

"CAUSE SHE IS MY WIFE, DAMMIT! NAINA SAMEER PRATAP SINGH. " I heard Kunwar Sa say those words in a very loud tone making me hell astonished. I have never got such a surprise in my whole life like this.

But the point is, how did he come to know about my truth?

How???
