Chapter 46: Chapter 46

NAINA KUMARI

"Bhai Sa, why didn't you tell me that you all were coming?" I was cooking dinner for them when Bhai sa came to the kitchen.

"You should be thankful that Pitaji had informed you in time. Otherwise, I had no intention to inform you both."

Rolling his eyes he said.

"Bhai sa," I whined.

I told him what happened between me and Kunwar Sa. And he knows all things about me except my husband's romantic moment scene. I don't want others to feel pity for me. It's our personal matter.

"Vikram ji, our chote came out very smart. But I bet that he's falling in love with you, Naina. Keep it up." Jija shows me thumbs up with a wide smile.

"If it's like that then it's a good thing. But one good thing happens that he has now come to know about your matter."

"Why, Bhai sa?"

"Now, I can beat the shit out of him. That time I couldn't do so. But now I have the best chance at it. Why miss this opportunity? I should grab it." Bhai sa said with an evil smirk.

"Vikram ji, whatever you want to do with your brother do it outside of the house. I don't want Pitaji and Maa Sa to know anything about this matter." Jija told Bhai sa. And he nodded.

"Okey okay, alright. I'll keep this in mind." Saying that he left.

"You don't know how happy I am to know that you have succeeded in making your place in his heart. Now that day is not far when he will announce you, as his wife, his better half in front of the entire media." Giving me a warm hug she said.

"I do not want anything. Just want his love. This is the most precious thing to me. You just pray that I could win my husband and his love."

I said this to console her but I know what I want. I don't know if what I'm going to do is right or wrong. But I strongly believe that God will guide me to the right path.

When I was saying this to Jija that night's flashback came into my mind and made me upset again. Seeing them kissing each other killed me from the inside.

"I always pray for you both. You two always be happy together."

Kissing me on the top of my forehead she said lovingly.

"Lado, you also sit with us. We're not guest that you have to serve us. We're family. So we can help ourselves."

Pitaji ordered me to sit. Only one seat was left and that was beside Kunwar Sa. Oh God, why are doing this with me?

I look over him and found him eating his meal silently. I rolled my eyes and sat next to him.

"Did you clean your room properly? Have you made sure that nothing is left behind there? If anything came in the eyes of Maa sa, then we're dead."

He whispered coming near my ear.

"Not we, say me. Cause I'm not at fault in this. It was your idea to shift me to the other room. So I'm innocent." I whispered back with a tight lip smile.

"Ahem!! Ahem!!" I hear them clear their throat and I immediately snapped my head and then found them looking at us with a mischievous look.

I gave them a small smile and paid my full attention to my plate.

"I'm happy to see you together like this. May both of you be happy and inhabited like this. May god bless you with happiness and prosperity."

Pitaji expressed his joy by looking at us with adoration.

"Both together look like Lord Shiva and Parvati." Maa sa said with a warm smile.

Someone tells Maa Sa that her son is not Lord Shiva but Indra Dev. He's not satisfied with one. Having a wife at home still, he went to hang around with other women. And when he gets caught by red-handed he says he wasn't doing anything it was her. Who took the lead? She was forcing on him. Are you a girl? As if he was molested by her. You're the one who gave her the right to do anything with you. Now you're acting like a saint.

Huhh! What a great player!

After dinner, I was cleaning the kitchen and Madhumeeka Jija was also helping me with that.

"You go, I'll take care of the rest of them."

She was continuously trying to send me into Kunwar Sa's room and I was continuously denied.

Yes! Today we are going to share the same room. And on top of that, I don't know how I'm going to spend the whole night with him under the same roof. I'm hella nervous.

"Jija, you came here not to do work. So go and take some rest. Besides, you must be tired from the long journey. I will go to sleep after completing the rest of the work."

"You think I'm stupid? What do you think I do not understand what you are doing. You're avoiding going there?"

She came near me and cupped my face with her right palm.

"That's your husband's room. Which is yours also. You should be there with him. Not in the other room. We are here to improve the relationship between both of you. And I believe that whatever is the difference between you two, it will end very soon."

"Jija, I want some time. You know what has happened these days. I even haven't told anything Bhai Sa. As you know he will lose his temper and will tell Maa sa and Pitaji everything about us."

"You don't trust him?" She asked me with a sympathetic look.

"I used to do. But now....." I leave the sentence in between. I know she would understand what I'm trying to say.

"You know how's our relationship going? For now, I can't trust him or what he has told me. You tell me, How can I believe his words? We all know their relationship. He's just making stories to save his name. He's trying to fool me. Like he was making me for a few days. After knowing about my secret he prefers to pretend that he doesn't know anything. Why didn't he come to me to ask why I did this? You tell me why he didn't? Then how do you expect me to believe him? I can't."

She sighed. And hold my shoulder.

"I don't know what he wants. If you say I can talk to him."

"No, Jija. There's no need to do that. Let's see, if I feel that there's no hope in our relationship, then I will go back to Udaipur with you all." I said with determination.

"Okey okay. Let's see what happens. Now go and sleep with your husband. It's your first time spending the night with him. Forget that wretched night. What if something good happens today." She tried to cheer me up.

But do whatever you can. If the heart is broken, then the whole world seems to be left behind. No matter how hard you try, the pain of the heart is not forgotten so easily.

After finishing my remaining work I headed toward his room. What is temporarily in my room now? Holding the jug of water I was standing in front of his room. I don't know how I'm going to spend the whole night there with him on one bed.

No, no. I can't share the bed with him. I'll sleep on the floor. It's better than sleeping with him.

I opened the door and enter inside. I look at him he was pacing the room. Looking at him I can guess he must be nervous or tense about something. He must have sensed my presence in the room as he stopped and looked at me.

I tear my gaze from him and walk toward the bedside table. After placing the jug I made my way to the closet to change myself into my comfortable night suit.

He didn't utter a word just went to his balcony. His balcony is bigger than mine. After freshening up I came out and found him sitting on the bed. But when he saw me coming out of the closet instantly he stood up and looked at me with a weird look.

I jerk my head and again was about to enter the closet to bring a mat and pillow.

"Naina." But he stopped me by calling from behind.

Don't know what he wants? Now, what other lie is left to be told? That's why he was so tense.

I turned to face him. Folding my hands against my chest I raise my brows in a questioning way.

"We need to talk." He motioned me to sit on the bed. So I walked there and sat on the edge of the bed. He sat on his knees near my feet. And then hold my little hands in his big one looking at me intensely. Something was there in those eyes that were constraining me to melt to the core.

"Naina, I know whatever I have done to you is not worth forgiving. For so many days you were working under me in my own company. I didn't even know that the one who works day and night for me and my company is my own wife. Who always protects as a shield. Never let my reputation be tainted."

"Because of me, you have to do the job. You have proved me wrong, Naina. My essence gets lifted with pride that you are my wife."

"What would you do if I wasn't so capable? Would you Divorce me?"

I couldn't help and finally ask what I wanted to do from long ago.

"No, it's nothing like that. You're naturally a nice person. Your simplicity and innocence and your kindness forced me to change my perspective about you. You're different from others. You're very pure and simple. You're very cute. And a self-righteous person. Yeah, I couldn't able to see your face but I heard your voice. That melodious voice is what I used to like and still do. That's why I used to scold you for nodding your head and not answering in words. Because of that, I could not hear your voice."

He chuckled saying that and made me laugh a little.

"Ahem!! I'll get straight to the point. I won't beat around the bush. I sincerely apologize to you for all the mistakes that I have done earlier. I apologize for the mistakes and sins I have committed since the time of our marriage till now."

Not only did I insult you, but I also pointed fingers at your character. I have no right to point fingers at any character without judging. I am ashamed of what I have done. please forgive me."

Suddenly I feel wetness on my hand and found his teardrops.

He is crying???

He sniffs and again starts in a cracking tone. "Please!! I beg your forgiveness. I'm dying from inside is guilty. Please Naina forgive me. Please!!" While crying he was continuously apologizing to me. I was so shocked to react that when he go off my hands and hold my legs I didn't realize.

"What're you doing? Let go of my legs?"

I tried to release his hands from my legs but he wasn't letting go of my legs.

"Until you accept my apologies, I'm not going to let go of your legs. If not then I will be sitting like this all night holding your feet. Now tell me what's your decision?"

"What kind of coercion is this? Let go of my legs."

"No, I'm not going to do that. I will die under this burden if you do not forgive me. We do mistakes in life. Some are forgivable and some are not. I don't know if my deeds are forgivable or not. I only know that you have a kind heart and I believe that you will forgive me. Please I beg you, Naina. Please forgive me." He was crying like a five years child.

"Okey, I'll accept your apology. Just tell me one thing, will you give the right of a wife? Will you give me the status of your wife?"
