OUR MARRIAGE IS JUST A PIECE OF PAPER : EPISODES 91 – 100
Episode 97
After the movie, we had dinner, and Jaai was with me now. He was dropping me home while Dad and Grandad stayed back with my Dad and Grandpa.
They met after a long time and wanted to chat. Piya and Mir also left because the little champ needed enough sleep.
Talking about the reports, Mrs. Bhatt said that they take a little time. I was lost in my thoughts.
“We arrived, Hana…” Jaai said, bringing me back to the present. But where was Ansh? That was the million-dollar question now.
“Hmmm…” I hummed.
“So…”
“What?” I gave him a surprised look.
“So… What are you thinking? Is everything fine between you two, Ahana?” He asked calmly.
Jaai never calls me by my full name. He rarely does. When he is in a serious mood, he calls me like this. And this time, I could see the seriousness in his eyes.
“Hmmm…” Same reaction again.
“Hana… Because of me?” He questioned as I got out of the car.
“Answer me… Please…” He said, stopping me and holding my shoulders.
Suddenly, I tightly hugged him, and tears started flowing from my eyes. I couldn’t stop them. I really can’t hold them in anymore. He gently rubbed my back.
Was there so much pain deep down in my heart that the tears found their way out? But why?
I don’t even like Ansh, so why am I feeling so bad?
“Hana… Hana… It’s good to cry sometimes. It lets your pain out and makes you feel better. But remember one thing,” he said, and I looked at him.
He wiped my tears and continued.
“You mustn’t keep secrets from Ansh. You mustn’t do anything that makes you feel low in front of him.
Whatever he thinks of me doesn’t concern me right now… Do you get that? He must see the real Ahana. He will surely fall for you then.”
Hmm… I don’t know how you manage all this, but I don’t think Ansh will have any feelings for me.
Hana, trust me. He cares a lot. You don’t have to agree, and I won’t force you. Take all the time you need. Clear your misunderstandings and live happily. That’s all I want.
Tell him whatever he wants to know. I don’t mind. I don’t want him to think wrongly about you. I hope you understand what I mean now.
Thank you, I nodded.
Always, Lady, he said, kissing my forehead.
I was about to turn away when I tripped over a stone. But luckily, Jaai held my hand and my waist.
Hana, God! Be careful, his hand was still on my slightly swollen belly.
Yeah, thanks. That was close.
He suddenly bent down on his knees.
Jaai, what…
Hey! Buddy, I am your uncle. Do you recognize me? You can call me Mamu. What do you say, Hana?
I gave a huge smile. It’s been a while since I spoke to my baby. Mrs. Bhatt says that I should speak to it because the baby will recognize the mother’s voice. I rested my hands on Jaai’s shoulders for support.
It’s perfect… just perfect. Hey, baby. This is your Mamu. Say hello to him…
Jaai laughed.
So, sweetheart, you have to take care of your momma now until your father learns to. He will learn soon, hopefully. I know you will, little one. Right?
He said, looking at me.
Jaai cares, I laughed, hitting him on his shoulder.
I know, I know… I was joking. Hana, take care. Come on now, go get some good sleep. Bye… he said, standing up.
But before he left, I hugged him once again. I needed it. He hugged me back, kissed me on my forehead, and left.
I moved my hand to my stomach.
My life…
I felt happy that I had Jaai after all. I couldn’t have survived if he wasn’t there for me.
But I know there were a lot of things missing in his life too, and I wish I could complete that. But alas, I can’t.
I crossed the door and entered our mansion. I saw the most astonishing thing. Ansh’s car. That wasn’t expected.
He was home. How is that possible? I opened the door with the spare key.
It was dark all around, but I saw some dim light coming from our room. I neared the dimly lit area. As I entered, I was surprised, bewildered, and all the other adjectives that describe a surprised state of mind.
Ansh was standing with his back towards me in the balcony. His hands were rested on the railings. There were candles lit everywhere, their fragrance blooming in the entire room. Oh, God… What was happening?
Then my surprised eyes fell on the beautiful setting in the balcony. A table for two was decorated with wine and flowers. We had a huge balcony, and tonight it looked mesmerizing.
I never believed that something like this is possible.
Like seriously, Ansh did all this. It was beyond my imagination.
Hey… It was barely a whisper, but I know Ansh heard it. He turned around.
I didn’t even blink for once. He was in his best, like always. A charmer.
A blue tux with a light pink shirt. Whoever thinks that pink is a girl’s color is surely mistaken.
Because… My husband carried it elegantly. He looked charming and equally handsome.
But I couldn’t see happiness in his eyes. There was something dark in them which I intend not to see.
” Oh!! Ahana….. Welcome Home. I thought you aren’t coming back tonight.” He said in his deep, masculine voice.
The tone of his speech wasn’t at all appealing. I just wish he didn’t see Jaai and me together or else he will form misconceptions again.
God!! Please.. I prayed.
” You came home early? Then why didn’t you pick up the calls. You could have joined us.” I said normally trying to calm his already growing temper.
” Hmm… Actually I didn’t want to interfere between you guys.”
” Huh!!! You Guys???” I asked confused. Why was he beating around the bush? I am now sure he saw us.
” Why acting? You and your friend.” I noticed that typical Ansh’s deep voice.
” Ansh!!! Everyone was there…. We weren’t alone. The only person who was missing was YOU.
” I was losing my patience now. I was fed up.
” Oh!! So, why did you come back with HIM? Where is Dad and grandad? ” He said now coming close to me.
” They stayed back. And I don’t understand why should I explain you all this. You didn’t even wish me. You didn’t reply to any of my calls. And you were standing here and watching us like a spy. ” I said with equal anger.
” Of course…. I will. You are my wife. Have you forgotten the ring? And then you are hugging a stranger in front of my eyes. And all the more, he is kissing you twice. Twice Ahana…. Why?? Can’t you see that I have done so much for YOU.”
I looked around. It was really beautiful but Ansh made things already difficult. He always ruined it.
” He is not a stranger Ansh for God’s sake. He is my childhood buddy.
Just like Mir and Piya are yours. You get that straight first in your mind. I’ll hug him whenever I want. And I didn’t have a dream that my husband has planned such a romantic thing.”
Arrogant… Yeah!!! Whatever… And Of course That I am. But I am not Jealous… Why should I be. And By the way, You were so busy with him the entire day, Ahana,
Tell me why do you always ruin it? ”
He was making me more mad now.
” I am ruining it. Oh!! It’s you and only you always…… Who ruins it. ”
” Yes, It has to be me. Coz, I am not the one hanging around with my friends on my first anniversary. Crying and hugging them and getting kisses. Am I?” He said making me more furious.
” Ansh…… Do you have a Copy Right to always think wrong? ”
We were standing very close by.
So, he had seen everything. Why didn’t I notice him earlier? And I wish if he heard everything also. Perhaps Coz I thought he wasn’t home.
” I believe what I see and you have always made me think so. I really think neither that ring in your finger matters to you nor….. ”
