Part 12
Following day at the breakfast table.. everyone is sitting and having breakfast while chit chatting ..
usmaan looks at harshad and asks
Usmaan: i almost forgot to ask you how was your 1st meal made by preetika?
Harshad looks at preetika and she looks at him with a forced and frustrated smile almost as if to say to not to mess it up for her π³
Harshad: it was good dad.. "dad one day iska chutney try kar ke dekho" and looks at preetika .. "with the same intensity of heat" and winks at herπ
Usmaan : heat? Acha anyways i was thinking of keeping a party here tomorrow night .. all my business partners and friends wants to see you two together and some are angry that i didnt invite them for the wedding.. kya karu sab kuch itna jaldi se hua hai..
Nandini holds her forehead suddenly and preetika notices
Preetika : didi aap theek toh hai?
And goes near her
Nandini: yea im fine feeling a little dizzy
Usmaan: give her some water to drink
Preetika gets her a glass of water and gives it to her
Harshad: didi i guess you are stil jet lagged.. why dont you rest well..
Nandini: yea il be fine.. harshad tum preetika ko lekar shopping jao na aaj shyaam?
Harshad: kyun? Isko kya chaahiye?
Nandini: kal party hai na baba isliye.. im sure she needs to buy something to wear..
Harshad: main koi shopping nahi jaaunga
Preetika: kyun? London meh toh bada shopping kar raha tha .. and gives him a sarcastic smile
He remembers how they 1st met in london doin jewellary shopping .. and then frowns at her ..
Usmaan: ab bahu bhi keheraha hai toh you must take her and gives harshad a smile ..
Aap dono ko dhek kar muje aabharana ki yaad aagayi .. she loved to go out shopping with me... usmaan looks a bit upset..
Usmaan: ok im off to work chalo harshad beta late horaha hai
Preetika goes near harshad and says "what time should i be ready"
Harshad: abhi shuru karo na baby atleast then by evening you will be ready .. and gives her a sarcastic smile
Preetika frowns at him and then he leaves ..
Preetika takes nandini back to her room to make her rest..
They enter the room and preetika sees the room empty
Preetika: Didi aarav bhaiya kahaan hai?
Nandini: sigh .. pata nahi preetika.. main uske baareme kuch nahi jaanthi hoon.. woh kahaa jaaraha hai.. kya karthi hai.. it doesnt matter to me anymore...
Preetika: was it an arranged marriage?
Nandini: love marriage tha.. back then during collage he used to show me that he is so good.. i didnt know he was an alcoholic.. i only got to know after marrying him...
Preetika:kya aap abhi bhi usse pyaar...?
Nandini: iss sawaal ka jawab nahi hai mere paas.. back then i used to try to change him somehow.. but i realised its not helping at all.. we would just end up fightn.. aur papa used to get involved.. main dad ko dukhi nahi dekna chaati hoon... isliye ab i dont say nything.. i just quietly bare everything thats hapening... after all its my fault.. im the one who chose him...
Preetika: may be having a child will change things didi.. have you thought about it?
Nandini: already main aarav ke saath suffer kar rahi hoo.. i cant bring a child to this world and make him or her go through all of this ... kabhi nahi... and sighs... nyways forget it and gives preetika a smile
Preetika: ok didi you rest .. aghar kuch chahiye toh please muje bulalo
Nandini: thanks preetika.. since you joined this family atleast now i have someone to talk to ... and gives a smile
Preetika leaves with a heavy heart feeling sorry for nandini .. and realises even though her marriage with harshad was an unconventional one atleast its not unfortunate like nandini and aarav's ...
As she is walking towards the room she suddenly bumps into Aarav
Aarav : hello lovely lady
Preetika frowns at him
Aarav: i still didnt get to know you well .. ghar main koi nahi .. thumara husband bhi office gayi hai na? So shal we get to know each other in the room alone? And winks at preetika and starts coming close to her
Just then preetika stamps on his foot realy hard and pushes him back
Aarav: aaah! Are you crazy woman???
Preetika: π‘ ainda se agar tum ne aaise baatein ki toh tumhaari itni bura haal karoongi .. just because i smile and im new to this house doent mean i will withstrand your bullshit.. she points her finger at him "keep that in your mind"
And walks away angrily
Aarav turns and looks at her "wait and see what i will do to you preetika .. you are so proud being harshad's wife hain na? you stamped my foot... and now i will trample your smile ... if i dont make you mine for atleast one night toh mera naam aarav nahi hai.. You will pay for this.. and walks away
In the evening harshad gives preetika a call
Preetika: hello?
Harshad: 10 minutes main neeche aao warna chod kar jaaungi and cuts the call
Preetika: ajeeb insaan hai :/ and starts getn ready
She goes down and gets into his car when he toots the horn
Harshad: kaha jaana hai?
Preetika: muje nahi patha...! This is my 1st time in india aftr 10 years
Harshad: why ? Did you think i was living here all this time? I dont know where to take you! I was at work all this time.. thum toh ghar par thi na?? Didnt you even check where to go? Poori din sooraha tha kya?? π‘
Preetika: arey? Why are you shouting at me main ne kya kiya???
Harshad: kya kiya? Ladki ko nahi ek gaay se shaadi kiya main ne and frowns
Preetika: You know what harshad i dont want to go nywhere with you and is about to open the door to get off the car
just then Harshad holds her hand tight.. preventing her from opening the door .. they both look at each other.. ('yeh ishq hai'' song is playing in his car radio) he notices her teary eyes and comes near her and wipes her tears.. and comes even close to her cheek and says "sorry..." he then whispers in to her ear
Harshad: Why do girls cry a lot and smiles
Preetika : shut up ..she blushes and looks away
Chalo let me cal didi and ask
He calls nandini and asks where to go and she sends him a place with the location and they both leave ..
At the shop
Preetika starts chosing saaris for herself and harshad thinks in his head "oh god she is going to take forever better i select one for her soon otherwise i will have to spend the night here"
Harshad: kya main madath karun?
Preetika: haha u know how to select a saari mr london arora?
Harshad: london seh pehele main yahaa tha and i used to chose all of didis sarees so please shut up
She choses a pink sari and shows harshad "this one? "
Harshad " chee pink why do girls like pink? Aur koi colour nahi jaanthe ho kya? "
Preetika frowns .. just then the helper shows a blue sari to preetika and says "madam yeh toh thum par bohot achi lagogi"
Harshad: bhai yeh mera biwi hai .. chose main karoonga
Preetika turns towards him when he says yeh mera biwi hai.. she looks at his face shyly.. harshad too looks at her.. both of them starring at each other.. preetika doesnt realize for how long she has been starring at him
just then
harshad: baby can you go home and continue checking me out ? please select a saree na please ?!
Preetika : chee main? What makes u think i was checking you out huh? i was just looking at how big ur nose is and laughs
Harshad gets irritated and continues looking at sarees
preetika choses a saree and goes infront of the mirror to see if it looks good on her..
Just then harshad comes from the back and puts a red color sari across her shoulder while holding on to her... she looks at him thru the mirror.. and he looks at her and wonders how well red color suits her..
Harshad comes near her face and says do you like this one .. ?
She nods her head
Harshad in his head "thank god now we can go home" and asks the shop guy to pack it..
Preetika is still standing and looking at harshad from the mirror smiling gently.. harshad takes a few steps away from her and stops to look back at her...
story ends with both of them giving a lovely stare at each other..
Next update : its the grand party for the new couple .. and there is a couple dance .. whom do you think harshad will chose to be his partner ? stay tuned to find out π
