OUR MARRIAGE IS JUST A PIECE OF PAPER : EPISODES 101 – 110
AHANA’S POV
I can’t believe that I said that. I never ever thought about sharing it with somebody. It was a very painful memory.
Something that shouldn’t have happened. I was sitting on the edge of the bed and Ansh was beside me the entire time.
He was listening like a child. I never thought he could be that patient.
” Hey!! What happened? Why did you stop? Jaai made up for her, right?” He said looking at me.
” I wish I didn’t stop him that night. He couldn’t make it, coz she left before everyone woke up.”
” What???” I could make out that Ansh was equally surprised and shocked. Just like I was at that time when Jaai called me.
” Hmmm…. She didn’t wait for the sun to rise. Once, Jaai and I left the Zaveri, Jaai dropped me home. I barely slept for 4 hours when Jaai called me.
” Hana……” He sounded very panicked and tensed. I jumped at once from my bed. I realized that something bad had happened.
” J… What happened? ”
” Oh!! Man… Ram Uncle just called me. He was asking whether Zara was with me.”
” Why…. She will be home.”
” That’s the thing. She is NOT home too. I checked her office. They are saying that she sent her resignation letter an hour back. ”
” What!!! But she can’t resign like that. What about the notice period? ”
” She didn’t ask for her month’s salary and said that she will agree to whatever the boss says but she won’t be working. ”
” What the heck….. She can’t do this. Did you call her? ”
” Hundred Times… Do you think I will sit like this? I am going to her house. Please reach there fast… ” He hung up.
I quickly changed in jeans and a tank top. I informed Dad and asked him to follow.
The scene at the Zaveri’s was pathetic as well as chaotic. Aunty was crying and Uncle was on his phone. Calling his contacts for Zara’s whereabouts. Just as I entered Jaai too joined in.

As soon as he entered the living room, Zara’s dad held him from his collar. I gasped in shock. It was all wrong.
This shouldn’t be happening.
” Where is my daughter? If anything happens to her, I swear you will be a Dead Man.” His voice was echoing through the entire house now.
Jaai didn’t say a word. He knew, he was at fault. But he didn’t want this too. He must be thinking that probably at this time they would have been planning their wedding.
” Uncle, please calm down. Zara will be perfectly fine. She is just upset now. ”
Just then uncle’s cell rang.
” It’s Zara. ” He picked it up and put it on the speaker.
” Daddy… Please let me complete. I am really sorry but I have to do this. Please don’t search for me. I want some time, Alone.
I am fine and don’t worry yourself. I love you and mom. But I also love Jaai and I can’t forgive and forget last night. Please… I need some time. ”
Zara….. ”
” Zar…. ”
Both Jaai and Uncle called together, but she had hung up. No matter how much we called back but she had switched it off.
” Listen…. ” Jaai was about to say something.
But,
” Leave….. Just Leave, Now Everybody…. I don’t want to see anyone around me. Especially YOU….” He said pointing towards Jaai. ”
I paused. I drank some water. I think after a long time I spoke so much.
“Ahana…. Then.. What???”
“Hmmmm….” I hummed, looking at Ansh.
“Nothing. We left the Zaveri’s. Jaai is still searching for Zara, and I don’t think he is going to give up, ever. He truly loves her.
He didn’t respect Time, and then Time didn’t respect him. That day when he called me, saying that he lost his love, he meant that he lost the last lead to her, and you misunderstood him.
But, you know what was the best part of their relationship? Zara was with him when he had nothing in life and promised to be with him forever. He promised to love her forever.
But alas, he lost the person whom he loved all his life when he had everything in life. It’s also one of the reasons why Jaai is always giving importance to his only family left.
He is never late for any family event, and he is always there when I need him.”
I said, looking at Ansh. He was flabbergasted. Well, the last line wasn’t necessary, but I said it anyway.
“But, Ahana, why didn’t you tell me this back then?”
There wasn’t any need. What’s so interesting in this, you tell me. It’s a sad story, and thinking about it brings only pain, so I didn’t want to discuss it, but you forced me tonight….”
I stood up from the bed and was about to leave when suddenly Ansh held my hand.
“You are going somewhere?”
“Yes… Didn’t you ask me that sometime ago?”
“But…..”
“Ya… That was because you thought Jaai and I were lovers, right?”
Before he could say something, his cell phone rang.
“It’s Ma…”
He picked it up.
“Hmmmm…. Yes. She is with me. I will do it. One second.”
“Here… I have put the phone on speaker….” Ansh said, pulling me closer to him but not letting go of his hold.
