Chapter 25: Chapter 25

Sanjay POV

"Good morning Sindhu."

"Bad morning to the guy who stole my sister from me!"

What? What did she just say? Am I dreaming? Or, did I hear her wrong? I was having a very good sleep. It so happened that Sandhy's phone is ringing and I picked it up. It's Sindhu. With sleepy eye's I greet her a 'good morning' and look at this girl. She is a crack. I regret being her best friend, because of which she has the freedom to act as she wants! I pity myself!

"How can you be so rude to a person who is your best friend and your brother-in-law? I just woke up, and you fill the fresh morning with negativity."

"First of all you steal her from me, and then you even pick up her call. Can't you at least let me speak to her?"

"Your sister is a weird wife. She went to the room on the terrace post-dinner and never came back. She even left her phone here. If she abandoned me for a night, it's acceptable! How can she abandon her phone for such long? I can last without my phone even for an hour."

"Whatever! Goodbye!"

Look at her arrogance! I take up my phone and call her right away. "I have to learn more about Sandhya. Her likes, dislikes, habits, hobbies and etc.."

"I hate you! I am not helping you!" And she hangs up the call!

I don't deserve this kind of treatment! Ok, Sanjay! It's fine. She is like your little sister who is angry at you. You should even enjoy the fights! I call her back.

Sindhu warns "You keep calling and irritating me, I will block you up!"

I am shocked! "You think I am some kind of flirt or some kind of idiot that you block me? I am your brother-in-law, a part of your family. Give me my respect."

Sindhu promptly questions back "Aren't you a flirt who secretly..."

"Don't complete that sentence! Don't blackmail the whole of my life for that one sin! Please.."

"And what kind of a lover are you? You loved her for more than three years and literally know nothing about her! And, for your kind information, just because you happen to be my brother-in-law, my phone does not deny blocking you!"

"You can't block me!"

"I can, and I will!"

Sandhya POV:

"Hmmm, so..."

There he again goes 'Hmmm, so..." Wait, is he just shy, or is he actually nervous? Is he nervous to accept the guilt and confess the same? "Yeah, please go ahead!"

"I mean... I know your introverted nature is not the problem between us. I observe you are being moody!" Sanjay brings up the most awaiting conservation. Perfect, let me end my revenge today.

"Don't you know why I am upset?"

"The most possible reason is that you are missing your family. There is another reason too, but I am scared to deal with that now! Anyways, you can take your time to accept all the sudden changes that got into your life."

"Another reason? What are you speaking about!" I curiously ask.

"I'm not yet prepared to discuss that."

Not yet prepared? Are we even a couple? Do you need to have some kind of intense motivation to have a conservation with me? Is confession so difficult?

"Are you that uncomfortable with me that you have to do special preparations to speak to me Sanjay?"

Even though nervous, Sanjay is trying to answer my question. I can sense him trying to escape the conservation. Come on Sanjay! Don't escape! Don't cover it up. Let me end my revenge here. We are a newly married couple and this distance between us is killing me!

My phone rings and everything gets disturbed. The moment is probably not meant for the confession. It's Sanjay's mother, Vasavi Aunty. "Hello, kids! On the speaker. I got to speak to you both."

"Yes, Aunty. Sure."

Aunty continues, "It's a weekend right, come to our village. We will have a formal visit to the temple our family has constructed."

"Ok Mom, we will start right away and will be there by afternoon", answers Sanjay and immediately Aunty hangs up the call.

"Hey Sandhya, so.."

"So?"

"Let's start your driving classes with our first long drive."

Driving classes? Sanjay, you are caught red-handed. Now you HAVE to confess! "Wait, why do you think I require driving classes?"

"Of course you don't know car driving right.." Saying this, he sounds confident and unconfident at the same time. He understood he is caught! He knows he has slipped his tongue.

The fun has started! "When did I say you that I don't know car driving? I learned car driving almost a year back. I'm sure Sindhu does not have any corrupting hand with you coming to this conclusion. She has seen me driving the car really well. I mean, why did you excitedly look forward to teaching me car driving?"

I don't stop blabbering at him. I pull out all possible proofs so that his confession becomes mandatory! "Technically you should question me, but you declared off that I have to learn car driving from you. Why would you do so? Why do you think I don't know car driving?" Because he read my story, he sees the kind of expectations I have from him. He thinks I want him to teach me to drive a car. I want him to open up! So, I more promptly interrogate. "Sanjay... why do you want to teach me car driving?"

He is desperate to find something to answer and cover it up! A sad one, I have to pity him, he is bad at it- the covering up. But, yet not ready to confess.

I calmly and softly say, so as to bring him at ease "Sanjay, speak! Are you really so uncomfortable with me? Come on, man up! What is that you are hiding from me? It is probably a very silly thing, so you don't have to freak out this way. You don't have to be worried about my response. Just speak up!"

Sanjay leaves the conservation in a mid-way, insists me pack a few clothes, and we start our drive. That upsets me. That really upsets me! Am I so scary? Should I work harder to give him more comfort? This revenge is no more fun. I pity him, and even myself. I am even getting suspicious. I am curious about what exactly happened those three years for him to keep his love for me all by himself!

Sanjay POV:

Sandhya got emotional "Sanjay, speak! Are you really so uncomfortable with me? Come on, man up! What is that you are hiding from me? It's is probably a very silly thing, so you don't have to freak out this way."

Come on Sandhya, I am not uncomfortable with you! You are my love. Just that I have my plans. You are very precious to me, but I never said that. I have plans for a very special moment, where I want to propose to you and confess to you. In fact, as a part of the same plan, my mother asked us to visit my village. Tomorrow morning is going to be a wonderful moment, which we won't forget for our lifetime. You have been moody all this while. I ensure you it will all fly away when I propose to you. You will be surprised and pleased! I hope, truly hope, you will forgive me!
