Chapter 37: Chapter 37

####PAST WHICH SATVI ACTUALLY FORGOT AFTER THE INCIDENT THAT HAPPENED BECAUSE OF WHICH SHE WAS IN COMA FOR ONE MONTH####

*Rohan Pov*

“Do you need to leave so soon again?” I asked her frowning, but she didn’t turn around from the mirror and continued brushing her hair.

“Yeah! Leela needs my help with the arrangements.” She replied in a normal tone and walked towards her bag.

“Wait for some time! I will drop you there.” I said, getting up from the bed.

“No! You are not getting good sleep with all the work. So just lay down and take a rest for some more time. I have the driver and the bodyguard with me right.” she said, hugging me a little and walked outside the room.

It’s been two weeks since that stupid incident happened, but I can see that it didn’t leave from around us. I don’t even know why it is affecting her so much when I am assuring her that I only love her.

To top of that mother started saying that I would find another girl and leave Swetha for good, and she is just listening to everything calmly looking away from us. I just hope she too doesn’t think the same and understand my words.

To even more top of that she is spending so much time with Karthik these days making me want to punch him right on his face, but I know I can’t do that because they are just talking right.

I trust her, but I don’t trust the situations which may do anything to any of us. Maybe she is also feeling the same like me as she is saying that she trusts me when I ask her to, but she is being wary of me too.

Damn it! Why can’t we live in peace? Why are the things happening one after the other only for us? I thought getting up losing all the sleep and started getting ready.

“When will something happen, Shankar? I know what we have are very less, but I can’t live in this fear that anything can happen to her at any time.” I said when he said that it would take some more time.

“We can catch the person by using Swetha as bait, but she may get hurt in the process, so we have to be more careful. I am doing everything I can.” He said sighing.

“If something happens to her, then I will take everything in my hands.” I said before leaving the police station.

I decided to take a leave and even make Swetha take some leave before going somewhere we can find peace.

“She is not here?” I asked Leela, and she shook her head keeping her phone aside.

“Karthik and she just left for the café near to the office.” she replied showing me the direction.

“And you are ok with that?” I asked her fisting my hands.

“Why not? Look, I have some serious work which I should finish within half an hour before he returns. So, have a nice day.” She replied before she started making the phone calls.

I shook my head before walking toward the café and saw both sitting near the door talking to each other and are even laughing.

“Good morning!” I mumbled, sitting beside them and they both looked at me little shocked.

“Hey! I thought you would be in your office.” Swetha said smiling.

“I thought the same!” I mumbled, and she frowned hearing my words.

“Ok! I will just leave you both alone.” He said getting up.

“No! Sit down.” She immediately said making both of us frown.

She calmly cleared her throat and said, “You both need to end this cold war and at least become acquaintances.”

Karthik and I shared a look on the matter that we are already are, but we didn’t just let her know about that. If she gets to know that he is her security in the office, then she will end both of us or may just get hurt.

“Talk!” I said, gesturing at him.

“You talk!” he said back, frowning and leaned back.

“You both are so cute!” she said, smiling at us and we both frowned.

“I think it is best if I leave.” Karthik mumbled again getting up, but she stopped holding his hand with a smile.

“Please Karthik! Spend some time with us. We don’t get these kinds of chances again.” she said, and I frowned fisting my hands.

“Ok! I have to go so I will leave.” I said getting up.

“Ok bye!” she said, waving at me, and I stared at her in shock along with Karthik.

“So, do you remember our first bunking the college to watch a movie?” She asked looking back at Karthik.

“Of course! You were so scared.” Karthik replied chuckling, and she returned the chuckle.

“Please! You are talking about yourself and not me.” she said, slapping his hand, and I just walked outside the café not wanting to interfere with their bonding.

Am I that bad that I couldn’t be that special to her like him? I thought taking all my anger on the work in my hands.

I heard my mobile ringing, and I picked up barking “Hello!”

“Rohan? Where are you? It’s pretty late.” I heard a worried voice of Swetha.

“I am busy!” I said sighing.

“At the middle of the night?” she asked like I am just crazy.

“Yes! If you don’t remember then, I have a company to save right?” I asked her back little harshly and all I met with silence.

“Ok! Good night and I am sorry about the work.” she mumbled hanging up, and I groaned scolding myself for the words.

I immediately left for home, but saw that she is already sleeping because of which I too calmly slept beside her holding her to me tightly.

Which turned out to be my mistake, because by the time I woke up, she is already up and leaving for the office and also to help her sister.

“We should take a break soon from all this.” I said, and she stopped from leaving the room.

“Ok! You just chose the place.” She said turning around with a smile.

“Do we have to chose? We have our place right?” I asked her frowning.

“No! I don’t want to go there again.” she replied, hugging herself and I walked towards her to give her assurance that she is fine.

“I am sorry!” I mumbled, but she just shook her head.

“It is an honest reaction from you.” she mumbled back before leaving making me sigh.

“What? What do you mean he will stay here?” I asked her completely shocked.

“He is stressing Leela too much, and she is not able to concentrate on the arrangements. So I offered her that he will stay here with us for a few days.” She replied shrugging.

“At our house? How can you decide that he can stay here without asking me?” I asked her not at all liking this idea.

“Why can’t I?” she asked back frowning.

“Because this is my house!” I replied and immediately added, “I mean our’s!”

But it looks like the damage is already done because she is just staring at me. She slowly nodded and took out her mobile dialing some number.

“Leela! I am sorry, but Karthik can’t stay here.” she said, rubbing her head with a frown.

“Don’t worry! I will stay with you and help you.” she said after a few minutes, and I shook my head not accepting this but she is not even staring at me.

“Yes! I will be there in a few minutes.” She said hanging up and looked up at me.

“You don’t have to go like this.” I said, walking towards her, but she just walked toward the cupboard.

“Now, I will just go and stay at my house solving the problem.” She said gripping her clothes.

“Even that is mine!” I mumbled before I can stop myself and stood stunned in my spot along with her.

“I don’t know what happened to me. Maybe I am stressed because of which I am talking about all these stupid things.” I said, groaning to which she just nodded and continued to pack.

“Don’t go like this, Swetha.” I said hoping that she will stop.

“I will return after the party.” She said looking at me.

“Party? He is not a kid to get a birthday party. I don’t even know why are you both always doing everything for him.” I said suddenly feeling angry for the love he is getting from the both sisters.

“He is the family and was always with us. He was there for three of us when my mom died. It is just a simple thing.” She said calmly.

“Then why is there no celebration for yours or your sister?” I asked raising my eyebrow.

“I was not talking to them at that time, and my sister was on her honeymoon at her’s.” she replied still in a calm tone.

“Fine! Just go away from here.” I said, sitting on the bed.

“Take some rest, Rohan. You are looking really tired.” she said, brushing my hair and kissed my forehead.

“Don’t go!” I mumbled hugging her to me.

“Ok! I will stay today night and will leave tomorrow morning.” She said informing her sister and laid beside me.

“You are not angry about my previous words, right?” I asked calmly while she continued brushing my hair.

“They were truths right? Then how can I get angry about the truths?” she asked back and I groaned hearing her words.

“No! They are not…” She cut me off placing her hand on my mouth and whispered “Sleep!”

*Satvi Pov*

“Are you ok? You seem to be lost.” I heard Karthik’s voice and turned to see him leaning on the table.

“I am fine! So are you leaving for home?” I asked him picking up my bag.

“Yes!” he replied, looking at the time, which is pretty late and Leela must have finished most of her work by now.

“Great! I will be staying with you guys so give me a ride.” I said walking outside the cabin, and we both left the house.

“Thank you so much for keeping him so late at the office.” Leela mumbled entering my old room.

“That’s why I am here, right?” I asked her smiling.

“So, your husband called the home phone, but I said you were still in office. He said you are not lifting your phone.” She said, frowning and I immediately took my phone and saw that it is in the silent mode.

“Damn it!” I mumbled and immediately called him waving good night to Leela.

“I am so sorry! The mobile was on silent mode.” I said when he lifted the call.

“It’s ok! I just got worried a little.” he said, and I smiled leaning back.

“And I thought you were still angry.” He added, and I frowned hearing his words.

“Just forget about that episode and tell me about your day.” I said not wanting to remember the first wave of hurt I felt when I kind of got the real picture.

“Ok! I had my lunch and also dinner, but the food is not at all tasty because my chef was missing from our home.” he said, and I laughed.

“Well, your chef is getting sleepy. So, good night!” I mumbled and we both hung up after a few minutes

“Happy Birthday!” Leela and I shouted when he walked outside their room freshening up.

“Finally, the day is here. Thank you so much beautiful ladies.” He said hugging both of us.

“Who is more beautiful?” Leela asked, and he frowned staring at both of us.

“Well…” he trailed off and I chuckled teasingly saying, “I get to wish you late. She must have wished you first may I add specially so say my name.”

“Ok! Satvi is the beautiful girl here.” He said, raising his hands and Leela slapped his shoulder.

“I want this birthday special different from the last time.” he mumbled looking at me.

“It will be!” I said, hugging him and he nodded walking towards Dad’s study.

“You know, Di…” Leela started saying, and I immediately put my hand on her forehead.

“Are you feeling fine? You just said ‘Di’.” I mumbled stopping myself from laughing at her.

“Listen to me please! This is pretty important.” she said in a serious tone, and I frowned asking her to say it.

“You know, I am seeing you both from these past few days, and I can see that you both would have been the perfect couple with perfect lives.” she mumbled, and I frowned hearing her words.

“Rohan and I?” I asked her frowning.

“No! Karthik and you. You both know each other and like each other. Maybe I came between you both unnecessary and created all this drama.” She replied sitting on the chair.

“Woah! He is your husband, and you shouldn’t say these words. Period!” I said, shaking my head not understanding from where is she getting these thoughts.

“No! What if he is regretting this life with me and wishes to be with you?” she asked completely scared.

“Well, that is tough luck because I am not leaving my husband.” I replied wanting to scold her for even thinking like this.

“But what if he does! What if he likes you and not me?” she said covering her face.

“Ok! You need to go and sleep it off all those questions. It is not good for your relation to keep insecurities bolted inside.” I suggested, and my conscience called me a liar for that suggestion because I am doing the same.

“I will just ask him.” she said, getting up and I immediately stopped her.

“Are you mad? He will get hurt.” I said and thought about some plan and immediately got one.

“I will do something and you can see whom he actually loves.” I said, smiling at her and told her my plan.

“But you need to keep Rohan away and tell me if he is near us.” I added, and she nodded hugging me.

“You are the best!” she said, sighing in relief.

“Anything for my little sister. And you know this is why you should not get married so soon at age and wait for some proper time so that you can think properly.” I said shaking my head.

“Even for you?” she asked frowning.

“Yes! Even for me because I am making some mistakes too.” I replied, remembering how I hid all my insecurities, and sugar coated them not wanting to hurt him in any way or to get hurt.

“And I will correct them today.” I said, deciding to have a talk with him.

“Karthik!” I called him over near the tree in our backyard where Leela is actually hiding.

“What is it?” he asked, smiling and I made him stand leaning on the tree, and I stood by which I can see whether Leela is properly hiding or not along with staring at the entrance.

I glanced around and saw that most of the guests are here, but Rohan is still late. Before the party, I called him and said that I need to tell him something important, but he said he will be a little late. I took a deep breath and smiled at Karthik hoping I am not in this position.

“Do you like me?” I asked him normally.

“Of course! You are my best friend." He replied smiling.

“No! Do you like me differently at least now? Or will you say that you just love my sister?” I asked him raising my eyebrow.

“Why are you asking these questions?” he asked frowning.

“I still like you, Karthik. So will there be a chance for us both?” I asked him smiling.

“What? I mean what are you saying. I love Leela with my life, and you love Rohan.” he replied with complete shock and anger.

“So, there is no chance?” I asked him finally with triumph that Leela’s doubts would be cleared.

“Definitely no!” he replied with such a conviction that I sighed in relief, but glanced at Leela to see her looking at me wide eyed.

I frowned and turned back to only get my eyes widened too. Rohan is standing there with hurt and anger along with shock on his face.

“Rohan!” I mumbled placing my hand on his.

“Don’t touch me!” he spatted pushing my hand away.

“Look, this must be misunderstanding.” Karthik offered, but Rohan stopped him showing his hand.

“Don’t come in between us.” he said and then glared at me.

“It is not how it looks. Let me explain.” I mumbled placing my hand on his.

“What? That you actually just like him but loves me? I heard all those already so tell me something new.” He said looking into my eyes.

“That is the truth! These were lies… which I said... so that… Leela... get’s it.” I said tears forming, and the stuttering didn’t help.

“Interesting!” he mumbled fisting his hands.

“Trust me! I love you, Rohan.” I said pleading him.

“And I should believe that? I always felt that maybe you only like him. But today hearing the words I am… I am just stunned. Was I just a rebound?” he asked chuckling humorously.

“No! Believe my words, Rohan. Even ask Leela if you want.” I mumbled, looking around and saw that no one is looking at us.

“No! I don’t want to hear anything from anyone. So, was that all just an act for you that you love me and even our marriage?” he continued his question.

“No! And you know it.” I replied closing my eyes and felt someone standing beside me.

“She is telling the truth.” Leela started saying, but I opened my eyes to see that he even stopped her.

“Maybe my Mother was right from the beginning. I wish I never met you last year.” he mumbled, and I took a step back hearing his words.

“You really think that? That... I am with you for money? Do you?” I asked him desperately and he just looked away with closed eyes.

“Maybe I am!” I mumbled rushing away from them and walked outside the house.

I glanced around and saw his car near the corner. I walked towards it and placed my hand forward near the driver for keys who looked at me shocked.

“On my birthday occasion promise me that you will never drive like ever." He said smiling at me.

“I promise on our love. I will never drive and I will never talk while driving too.” I mumbled smiling back at him.

I held my head feeling like it is going to burst, but succeed in pulling the keys from the driver in his shock state. I pushed him aside from the door and got inside the car.

I stopped my tears and started driving far from all these things, which are hurting me like hell for some time. I stopped near an unknown place hearing my mobile.

I lifted it up and said, “Hello?”

“Swetha! Where are you? And why are you driving?” I heard his voice making the tears leave my eyes.

“Why do you care? You wish you never met me, right? At this moment, I wish I never met you, and I wish I just forget you.” I replied leaning back on the seat.

“Return home and we will talk. Don’t talk while driving.” he calmly said making the hurt increase.

“No! Today onwards I don’t know you, Mr.Choksi.” I said, throwing my phone outside and closed my eyes but immediately opened them.

And looked to my left to see that a truck is coming towards my car at full speed. I immediately blared the horn, but it is not shifting its direction. I immediately started the car, but before I could move I can see that I don’t have a chance.

I immediately moved to the passenger seat and opened the door, but before I could jump, I felt the impact of the hit making my body thrown out of the car, and I felt something hard hitting my head before I felt myself falling into deep blackness.
