Aditi's point of view

From past few months, I have been living in my dream. I married to the person I alway loved but today it truely feels like it was forced not for me but Dhruv also. The way he is behaving with me was really hurting and painful. Not just ignoring me, he lete fall down and leave me weeping. Once he was the one who wioed my tears and now he is the reason I have tears in my eyes.

The silence in the car was that thick that you can cut it with knife. Again tears brim into my eyes when I looked at him. His jaw was still clenched and his face was glowing in his own sweat. He was fighting with his own battle which was going inside in his mind.

Not just once he looked at my side. I again leaned to the window and gulp down my tears. I have decided not to say anything to him now on. If he wants to ignore me then let it. I have tried enough. If he wants to come back to me I will welcome him with open arms, if he doesn't then I will let him go.

The car stoped in- front of the villa, which was bigger than Nikhil bhiya's villa and without waiting for Dhruv I stepped out from the car.Party music was on and I can hear that from hear. Dhruv came to my side and without looking at each other's side we both walked inside. Party was held in the garden and I already spotted my in-laws who were enjoying drinks and starters.

"Thank God dued you arrived. I thought I will die here alone. Aunties and their daughters are not living my sides. I know, I am hard to resist but still I also need somw personal space." Raghav walked to us and tell us his story while wiping the sweat from his forhead. Dhruv and him share a brotherly hug.

"Get married then..." Dhruv said while breaking the hug.

"No thanks...I love my freedom. Look at yourself, after you get married to Aditi you almost stopped drinking and smooooooo......" Raghav's word stuck in his throat when Dhruv glare at him and finally his eyes fell on me.

"Aditi, you are also here. I didn't see you. You know that I never touched drinks and cigarettes. I also suggested Dhruv to quit them. You know what Dhruv, I really need to have some serious talk with you." He looked horrified.

"Don't mind me and I know how sane you both are." After saying that I walked away from there.

Nikita bhabhi, and Divya was busy with their friends while Anuradha aunty was talking to Priya and his mom. I didn't disturbe anyone so I sit on a couch which was near the stage.

Lost in my thoughts, I was looking at the people who were smiling and laughing with eachother ad I was the one who was alone in crowd. Today I really feel alone. Dhruv completely ignored me. He was standing in-front of me with Raghav having their drinks but not once he comw to me and asked me if I am okay or I need something. My eyes welled up with tears when I was looking at him but suddenly his eyes met with mine and I turned my face away to hide my tears. When I did not control I stood up and walked to the corner where no one can see my tears.

Why Dhruv...why are you pushing me away from you. Everything was going perfect then what happened suddenly that you started ignoring me. I will apologies to you but just once tell me where did I get wrong. A sobbed leave from my mouth and I put my hand on my mouth but still my tears were not stopping..

"Keep this. You are going need them in future." Someone bring the tissue paper in-front of my face and when I turn to look at the person, it was Priya who has the victorious smile on her face.

I ignored her and started to walked away but my legs stopped after hearing her next words.

"What happened Aditi? Worried about your falling marriage?" She has that dirty smirk on her face. First I thought to ignore her but now she is getting into my nerves. I turn and wlked to her.

"It's non of your business and kindly stay away from my husband. Stop being a leach and sucking his blood. He already have enough in his plate. So move on. The soon you'll get this it will be batter for you." My face was burning in anger and I can feel heat was radiating from my cheek.

Hearing my words she greeted her teeth, "If it wasn't you, he would marry me by now."

"Too bad..I am his wife now." I said while matching my tone with her.

Before she could say anything I walked away from her. But when I came back to my seat I saw Raghav was talking to Dhruv and his fist was clenched in anger. He walked angrily to Nikhil bhiya and say something to him. After that Nikhil bhiya, Raghav, and Anuradha aunty followed him to the empty room. First I thought not to go there but Dhruv was looking very angry on Nikhil bhiya which made me curious. After sometime I went to the direction where Dhruv and everyone go. No one was on that side of the party. It was pretty much empty and I can barely hear the music here.

I halted on my steps when I heard a very engry voice of Dhruv.

"I thaught you are my brother but you are a snake. What I did not do to you and your business but you repay me like this? Nit just that you even deny that you know about the deal." Dhruv looked very angry.

"Dhruv it's not like this. I drop the plan as soon as you came home with Aditi. I lied to you because I don't you lost your trust on me if you know about the deal." Nikhil bhiya was looking guilty. Raghav noticed my presence in the room but he didn't say anything and pull back his attention to them.

"So you are accepting that you made the plan to betray your own brother for fucking money." Dhruv was looking furious.

"Dhruv you are not understanding. It was for your own good." Anuradha aunty says and she was looking worried for Nikhil.

Dhruv smug sarcastically and said, "It was for my own good or for your this son? You both made the plane to marry me with Priya just for a fucking business deal." I put my hand on my mouth in shock and tears stream down from my eyes.

How could Nikhil bhiya and Anuradha aunty can do this with Dhruv. He was her own son. How could she forget that worrying for one son she was destroying her another one. Nikhil bhiya knows about Dhruv's suiside ataempts then why he did this to him?

"You blackmailed me to marry her. You guys don't even care if I will die after that." Dhruv's eyes were glistening with tears.

"Nikhil business was falling but he need investments. Priya's uncle was ready to invest in his company if you marry Priya and I was the one who asked him lie to you that he doesn't onow about the deal." Anuradha aunty says while coming closer to Dhruv and trying to hold his hand but Dhruv pull back his hand from her.

"But I dropped the idea as soon as you denied marry to Priya. I don't even know that mummy has planned your engagement that day." Nikhil bhiya looked guilty and try to come close to Dhruv but he stepped back.

"You will receive a check tomorrow morning in your office. I am giving you all your money back you created in my account in past years. I didn't spend a penny from them. I hope they will help you to put back your business." Dhruv said while glaring at Nikhil bhiya and without saying anything he walked towards the gate. I keep looking at him when he was walking towards me with long strids but his eyes were glaring at that exist door he can get out from this toxic situation.

"Dhruv..."

"Dhruv beta please let him explain."

There words were falling into a deaf ears of Dhruv. He keep moving.

He stopped when his eyes fell on me. Our eyes met for a minute and without saying a word he hold my hand in a tight grip and walked out from that room with me. It was getting hard to match with his pace. His long and angry strids making difficult for me to walk along with him. He opened the car's passenger door for me, made me sit inside it and dorve off with a high speed which made my heart come to my throat but I didn't say a word. What happened to him wasn't less than a death. I can understand what he is feeling right now.

We reached home in just 10 minutes. Dhruv slam the door of the car and leave to inside. With my heavy heart I also came inside but I did not find him in hall. I made my way to upstairs to our room.

I know what it feels like when your family betray you. It was like someone you love and trust blindly stabbed you from back. I have gone through this situation not just for once but many times.

Dhruv was standing in the balcony. Room was dark but I can figure him out under the moon light. His coat was lying on the bed which was thrown in anger. Slowly I made my way to him and stood beside him. I didn't say anything to him because this time he needs silence. His mind was battling to his innerself. Today He lost his trust on his own brother.

For sometime we both stood there like this. I looked at his side. His jaw was still clenched and he was keep looking at some perticular thing. I don't know what will he do but I want to let him know he want to share his pain I am always there for him. I slowly walked to him and raised my hand to gain his attention but stopped in a fear that how will he react. We both are already not in good terms so if it will be right if I comfort him, share his pain with me, hug him tightly. My own eyes are wet with tears. I don't know what should I say to him to less his pain but I want him to share with me what he is feeling right now.

I pulled back my hand and turn to leave with my heavy heart. I gasped when he hold my hand and twirled me around. He pulled me to him and I bumped to his chest. First time from the past two months our eyes met. His almond eyes were so deep that I want to drawn myself into them and the way they looked at me it feels like I am the one they were looking for but they hide so much things in them. It was almost unreachable. The curtains of his eyes slowly lower down. He closed his eyes and touched our foreheads. I also closed my eyes and lean into the moment. I want to forget what has happened between us from past few months. I just wanted to live in this moment where he was approachable and I can feel the warmth of his heart.

How musch I have craved for this moment. How much I craved that he hold me like this. It feels like I found my home again.

But suddenly I lost his warmth. I didn't feel his touch on my body and when I opened my eyes he wasn't there in-front of me. The moment I was enjoying just gone like faded breez. Which made me realise I am failing to share his pain.

When I came back to the room he was already laying on the bed pretending to be sleep. Seeing him like this my heart was aching but I can not force him. I changed my cloths and lay beside him on the bed but as I came closer to him he turn his back from me like he was doing from past two months. My eyes again filled with tears feeling rejected. I also turn my back to him and let my tears fall.

******

I woke up in the morning when sun rays fell over my face. Dhruv wasn't beside me, ge must be went into the Gym. I slept last night after weeping silently. I got up from the bed and directly went into the washroom for shower. After getting freshenup I got ready in a smiple anarkali suit. Dhruv still not came from Gym.

I applied sindoor in my maang and put a small red bindi on my forehead but suddenly my eyes fell onto the piece of paper which was putting under my moisturizer. My hands were shaking when I pick that paper in my hands. The same feeling was crawling inside me when Dhruv leave a letter for me when he leave me last time. I don't want to face that feeling again. It was horrible band and unbearable. It feels like someone rip my heart feom rib cage.

I opened the letter and I don't know why before reading it I have tears in my eyes and fear in my heart.

I am going to Mumbai for some work. Don't know when will I come back. I must be busy in work. So don't wait for me.

Dhruv..

How could he do this me? How he dare to leave me again with saying anything? He knows things are not good between us then how dare he solving things. Tears started falling down from my cheek. I heard the car honk from downstairs and I went to the balcony. Dhruv sit inside car after touching feet of Gautam uncle. I didn't think twice and ran to downstairs with a hope that maybe this time I could stop him. I was sobbing loudly when finall I reached downstairs.

"Dhruv...." I shouted his name.

I pushed Divya when she came to my way and tried to stoped me.

"Dhruv... please rukiye..." I ran behind his car while shouting his name but he didn't stop. I bumped to pole of main gate and I cried while holding it. History repeated itself. He again leave me without givibg answers to my unasked questions.
