OUR MARRIAGE IS JUST A PIECE OF PAPER : EPISODES 111 – 120
Episode 120
I went in the bath for a short cold shower. I got in my comfy grey pants and a v neck cream t-shirt. When I went in the living Ahana was already munching on the popcorns with the cup of hot chocolate in her hand.
” Ahana… Not fair. You didn’t even wait for me. And are we really going to watch Charlie and the Chocolate Factory ?” I said sitting beside her.
” Yes… What is the problem? It’s one of my favourites. And that’s the first thing I saw on Netflix.
And the popcorns were so tempting so I am sorry I couldn’t wait. If you want to sleep then you can go on. But I am watching this.” She said sipping the hot chocolate.
” Really?? ” I said inching closer. I took a popcorn from her bowl and popped it my mouth. There was chocolate all over her lips.
” Ahana… You still are a baby. There is chocolate there. Wipe it. ” I said watching the TV.
” Hey! There’s the tissue box over there. Please help me.”
I pulled out a tissue paper. She didn’t notice me. Her eyes were still glued to the TV. I jumped near her and pulled her towards me.
” Oii.. What are… ” She stopped midway. Our eyes met. I was on the top of her. One of my hand was surrounding her waist and my other one was on her cheeks. I placed the bowl of popcorn on the table.
” I have a better idea….” I said.
She looked at me with awe and a bit of surprise. But before she could respond my lips were on her. I licked all the chocolate on her lips and she responded closing her eyes.
I moved her on the couch with her head rested vertically and I was supporting both of us, careful that my weight is not on her belly.
” I swear… I don’t think we will be able to complete the movie if we go on like this. And trust me it tastes even more hot and sweet this way.” I said and she smiled blushing. Her cheeks were already red.
I bend down and she grabbed my neck while our lips are just about to touch again when someone knocked. I will kill whoever it is.
” Hana…. Ansh.. Are you in? ”
” Shit!! I will kill your best friend one day….” I groaned resting my head on Ahana’s shoulder.
She rubbed her hands on my back laughing.
” It’s fine…”
” Hana…. Hana…”
” Arrrgghh.. Your desperate friend.”
” Go Ansh open the door now. ”
She pushed me behind.
” I swear I will punch him now.”
” Ansh… One second….” I turned around and she held my face in her hands and wiped something off my lips. It was chocolate. I smirked and pecked her on her lips and rushed to open the door.
” I hope we aren’t disturbing you two.” I heard him say as I was about to open the door.
” Yes… You are. Why can’t you chill at your place. This is twice in 24 hours that you have disturbed us.” I said.
Ahana came beside me. I pulled her nearer to me.
” Hey!! How’s you two? I am upset with you Zara, we haven’t spoken since so long and you aren’t letting go Jaai for a second.
” Ahana said not resisting my pull. Actually I am a bit insecure no matter what and on the top of that Ahana was looking so hot tonight. I don’t want anyone to see her like this.
” I know. But this possessive fiancé of mine isn’t letting me go for once.”
” You can do whatever you want to after we both get married.” Jaai prompted.
” Married??” Ansh and I said in unison.
” Why are you looking so shocked? We both have waited so long for this. ”
” Well, so you are getting married here? In Maldives? ” Ahana asked.
” Of course not. That’s why we came to tell you that Jaai and I will be leaving for Sydney in a day or two. I will have to cut short my month long vacation.” Zara said.
” Get in… ” I said.
” Oh!! I can see that you too are making most of your time. Movies and stuff…. ” Jaai said. Ahana punched him in his stomach. We settled on the couch.
” Actually we will meet Ram Uncle and Gita Aunt. I need to make up for them too. ” Jaai said.
” I just hope that they forgive me this time. I can’t live without her. ” He said holding Zara’s hand in his. She looked at him and smiled weakly.
” C’mon J… Don’t make this cranky face. We are in this together, remember. And I am confident that Daddy will forgive you. ” She said caressing his cheeks. Jaai smiled weakly.
Ahana and I didn’t say a word.
” But… Baby…. ”
” It’s fine. It’s our time to love now. And anyways you always said that we should have a story to tell.
See, now our kids are definitely going to enjoy their parents dynamic lovestory. I swear J, I am going to enjoy telling them myself. Isn’t it Hana? ”
” Of course. We always used to say that there always should be a story to tell. It would be like a bedtime story. Cheer up buddy and start packing. Even we need to pack. ” Ahana said.
” Anyways Hana… You still have to tell your part of story. How did Ansh and you met and what happened between you guys. Coz, I know we weren’t school buddies. Right? J, do you know? All I know was that one fine day there were news about you getting married. ” Zara asked.
All the three of us were silent. I don’t know whether Ahana told Jaai about the Agreement we signed. But I think she didn’t tell anyone about it.
If she had and that protective friend of his would have killed me for sure.
” Hmm.. Well, Zara.. Ours was an arranged marriage since you aren’t aware. ” Ahana said breaking an awkward silence.
” Are you serious? I can’t believe it. I never thought that you would do an arranged marriage. But never mind I doubted that you would marry in first place coz you never even had a boyfriend. Anyways after watching both of you madly in Love, arranged marriage is not bad. Isn’t it Jaai? But looking at you I doubt if it was actually an arranged marriage. I hope you are not lying to us. ” She said.
” Of course, not. Why would I lie? ” Is all Ahana said. She didn’t even say that her Dad and grandpa forced her. I wasn’t even aware whether Jaai knew about it too.
Like seriously. How can she endure it?
But Do we look that happy and adorable together? I don’t mind Coz I enjoy myself.
Ahana looked at me and our blank eyes matched each other.
” That’s true Baby. I think we have already taken a lot of their time. Let them enjoy too Coz they are leaving tomorrow. Happy and safe journey guys. Meet you in Mumbai, probably after a week or so.” Jaai said taking Zara’s hand.
” Sure…. Bye…” Ahana said.
” Hana… We are not done yet. You still have to tell me your story of Love… ”
” Zara… Enough already. Bye. Take care. ” Ahana finally closed the door and fell in the sofa, already exhausted.
Ahana came and sat beside me. She must be thinking what to tell. We don’t have a story to tell.
” Falling in Love is amazing… Isn’t it Ansh? Whenever I look at them I feel so good. ” She said switching off the TV.
I looked at her and our eyes met. There was some unheard unspoken pain in her hazel pearls. I could see that she was about to cry. I went near her.
” Hmm… It’s an amazing feeling. Trust me… ” I replied.
She hugged me tightly instead. I hugged her back and picked her up taking her to the bedroom.
” And how do you know that?” She asked softly.
” Well, It’s not something to be known, instead it’s something to be felt… ” I replied. She didn’t say anything.
Her hand and legs were wrapped around my waist while my arms caught her safely.
” And, It’s even more beautiful if it’s our first love which turns out to be our last love… ”
” Hmmm… ” I hummed as we entered our room. We were still clutching each other tightly.
” Ansh, My favourite fruit is Mango… Do you know why?” She asked.
” Well, Even I like it. And Why so? ”
” Mango is the only fruit which tastes equally good in its raw as well as ripe form. Sour and sweet. Almost everybody likes mangoes…”
” Yeah… ”
” I think First Love is like that Mango… A bit sweet and a bit sour.
If its picked up too early, as in the case of a raw one it’s Sour… Yet, we enjoy it Wholeheartedly.
And If it’s given the proper time period, the ripe one then it’s the sweetest of all. Just perfect.
But, do you know what the best part is? ” She asked.
” Aahah?? ”
” The best part is that both are equally delicious and have their own charm and elegance. We enjoy both of them. If your First Love is like that, Sour as well as Sweet and also an everlasting one, wouldn’t it be great, Ansh? ”
” Yeah…” Is all I replied.
She was suddenly sounding like how I did in the morning. I don’t really think that wine can also bring out those feelings.
” Everyone is not fortunate enough that their first love is their last one. ” She finally said with her sigh.
” Hmm… Jaai and Zara are indeed very lucky. There love has passed with flying colours. ” I replied.
” What about us Ansh? Can’t we live like them? Happy and Cheerful? ”
I didn’t have any answer. No matter how hard I try I can’t imagine my life without Ahana. But then…… I have to control my feelings.
Happy and Cheerful? I don’t really know how are we not happy and how can we be cheerful. Yet, It’s the truth that we don’t have a proper relationship, something that we can’t define for ourselves.
She is just hurt and alone. It doesn’t means that she loves you stupid….
I haven’t done anything enough that would make her fall for me.
Just because she kissed me back doesn’t mean anything right?
Was I convincing myself?
I stopped my thoughts and placed her on the bed carefully wiping the faint tears. Her eyes were already closed.
” Sleep…” I whispered.
But instead she pulled me closer until our lips met. I tasted those sweet lips again.
I closed my eyes and responded. She hand moving in circles in my hair. I kissed her upper lip and she moaned. I got in beside her in the bed. She pecked me quickly and engulfed herself in my crook of the neck.
Her left hand was on my stomach now. I took her hand in my and placed butterfly kisses on it. She moved a bit. I intertwined my hand in her. Then I noticed her empty ring finger.

Those bitter memories flooded my brain. The day when she removed the ring. It hurts so much that I can’t even explain.
Ahana… No matter what you said that night after our wedding, I will make you Mine… Forever…. Those words still ring in my ears and I know perhaps they were your true feelings but I am not letting you go…. Ever…
I kissed her forehead.
” Ansh… I trust you…” She whispered in my ears.
