REALIZATION OF LOVEPART- 44
After enjoying the launch party of their restaurant to the fullest, Viren, Nivi and Anurag came back home together after dropping Tani near her apartment in Hauz khas. They all were very happy. Anurag and Nivi kept on talking throughout the way whereas Viren focussed on driving the car silently.
Though all time Viren was trying to act normal while a conflict of thoughts was going on in his mind, but Nivi noticed soon that something was worrying him. Making a mental note in her mind about asking it later to him when they will be alone, Nivi focussed on looking outside the window. Since the time Nivi came in Delhi, she realized that the night time in Delhi is something which gave her strange but soothing peace. Whenever she went out for a night walk with Viren, it relaxed her a lot something which she never experienced in Shimla.
'Maybe it's because I m in love' blushed Nivi while thinking about it. She quickly looked at Viren and kept on looking at him with love but he didn't looked back at her.
As Viren was busy with the unpleasant thoughts running in his mind, he was unaware of the eyes of his wife noticing and reading his facial expressions. Something was definitely wrong, Nivi concluded.
Seeing Viren disturbed made her tensed. She wasn't having a very nice feeling about it. Nivi jerked out of her thoughts, as Viren stopped the car in front of their house. Nivi and Anurag stepped out of the car. They were expecting Viren to join them but he started the car and went off telling them that he got an important work to do.
Nivi started panicking now. Her Viren is slipping out of her hand again. Tears formed in her eyes, she cannot go through this again.
Viren kept on driving the car. His mind slipped back into to the past- his childhood with Sid, Nivi and Divya, how dadasaheb used to scold and eventually sent him to the hostel, how he came here in Delhi, how his classmates used to tease him, how Anurag supported him and fought with others, how he used to miss his family especially his Nivi.
Soon his mind focused on the what happened in the last 10 months. He completely freaked out when he heard Dadasaheb getting a major heart attack. Forgetting all the hatred he always had in his heart for his family, he made plans to get back to Shimla as soon as possible. Then he remembered the harsh treatment of his family and made a plan to win their love and later hurt them at heart where it hurts the most.
When his mother held Nivedita responsible for all that happened with his family, he didn't believed her a bit. His Nivi is too innocent to do anything like that. His first meeting with her told him all. While saving her from goons, he saw the helplessness, innocence and selflessness in her eyes which screamed in his ears that she isn't the culprit. She is a victim, hurt too badly by her loved ones like him. Of course he identified his Nivi the moment he saw her. How can he forget the face which kept flashing in front of his eyes day and night. He looked out and realized he had reached his destination.
He took off his shoes in the car and stepped out. He took out his handkerchief and covered his head, tying the ends together carefully at the back of his head. He glanced at the tomb in front of him.
He was standing in front of the peer dargah situated in sector-18, noida. First time when he came here, he prayed for the success of his business which eventually happened few weeks later. After that, he became a regular visitor of the dargah to offer his prayers to the god. He once prayed for his dadasaheb's health and last time, he begged for his Nivi's life. He walked bare foot to the dargah, hearing the faint musical prayer (qawali) being offered to the god by a bunch of singers. He went inside the dargah and offered his prayers to the god as usual. He sat on a side of the dargah, seeking peace through the calm environment of the dargah. His mind wanted answers. He still remembered how much heart broken he was when he heard that Nivi loved Sid. He wasn't able to sleep for a couple of weeks.
His only worry at that time was that Sid betrayed Nivi and chose his family over her. He shuddered while thinking about Nivi's condition after all this. His Nivi got betrayed by love just like him. He tried to help her again and again to hear her refusal. He wanted to be sure of Nivi's safety for which he got only one option- marrying her. He hated himself when he manipulated Nivi to agree for this marriage but he was helpless. He was so wrong when he thought if he married her, her problems will end. Nivi's problems got increased after their marriage but he fought for her. Soon he realized his mistake when he kissed Nivi. He was giving her false hopes of a better future. He came Shimla to go back to Delhi one day again. He can't live with his family. He doesn't deserve this. He left that night itself to be again traced by Nivi. The time he spent with her made him feel that she loves him but he still needed an assurance from her. He can't tie her down to him for his own happiness.
He always worried for one thing- his Nivi's happiness. Once again Naveen's words thundered in his mind.
Finally he decided, he will give the choice to Nivi- to leave him or to be with him for the entire life. Now the decision rests in Nivi's hands. He made up his mind and broke down. What if Nivi left him? The thought of Nivi leaving him was too painful. After crying silently for an hour or so on, he stood up and walked towards his car. He went home.
He entered inside the house. All the lights were switched off. He quietly entered in his room when the lights were suddenly switched on. Nivi was sitting on the couch, looking very angry. She glared at him with blood shot eyes. Viren sighed. It was confrontation time.
