Chapter 1
It's you Sam
Sayi's POV
I can't belive how virat sir could lie to me about the trip. Why can't he stay loyal to one woman. He has no idea how his so called ex or lover or whatever their relationship status now is, will hold it against me. She would taunt me when he's not around. All the chavan gundas will gang up against me. I shivered at the thought how I would have to take a stand for a mistake I didn’t make. I was overwhelmed with hatred at that thought. I left Virat sir alone. Did I overreact? Doesn’t matter. I was not going back. I took a kid hospital who needed medical attention that's when I met him, Sam.
I tried to make conversation just to take my mind of Virat sir and also because he seemed to be a lost soul just like me. But my venture was futile. He refused to talk to me about his personal life. He seems to be passionate about these orphans and indifferent towards everything else. My thurst of knowing him was not quenched. He seemed interested in me only after I told him where I lived. He asked me if I knew who Chavans were. I flinched at the query. I tried to change the topic-" are apne to apke bare mein kuch bataya hi nahi. Kya apka pura naam Sam hai? Aur kuch nahi". He said," maaf kijiye. Mera atit kya tha kaisa tha uska ab koi lena dena nahi. Ap mujhe Sam bula sakti hai. Nice to meet you Sayi Joshi. Ap ajke raat ke ceremony ke liye hamare Orphanage mein invited hain, bator chief guest ". " mai zarur ayungi Sam".
His words about atit made me wonder if he's Samrat Chavan. Could this happen! Guess I have to find out tonight. I should go back to Virat sir and tell him I might have found Samrat.
I told Virat sir about my surmises. He was dismissive at first. But then he agreed to come with me to the Orphanage. I was looking forward to meeting Sam again.
***********************************************
I reached at the Orphanage with Virat sir, mohit and sunny. They were shocked the moment they laid their eyes upon Sam. I understood that it was Samrat Chavan. Sam refused to recognize any of them. He firmly said he isn’t Samrat Chavan neither did he know anyone by that name. My heart ached at the thought of how deeply Virat sir's betrayal had affected him. I noticed those kids' jersey after thirty minutes of Virat sir's accusing and Samrat's reluctance to acknowledge his identity. I went to Sam looked at him straight in the eye and said," I can prove that you are Samrat Chavan. Apne pucha tha na ki main kisi chavan ko janti hu ki nahi. Kyu pucha tha" he said" asking that doesn’t make me Samrat. Aap apne Sathyo ko leke yaha se ja sakte hain". " to phir inke jersey mein chavan parivar ka sabka naam kyu hai? Aap hi hamare Samrat hai"
He closed his eyes getting caught in the act of escaping reality. He then admitted he was Samrat. He asked me how I was connected to the chavans. Mohit told him all about me. He was surprised to know I was Virat Chavan's wife. He implied that he was betrayed. I understood what he meant. Virat sir though apologized but didn’t acknowledge his betrayal. He said it was all misunderstanding. I was disgusted at how insteading of acknowledging his brother's agony seemed more interested in proving his moral superiority as always. Habitual error. Had his family pointed out his entitlement and holier than thou attitude, he wouldn’t have inflicted such pain to samrat and me. Samrat was reluctant at going back home. I challanged him to face Pakhi didi. Then he agreed. He has to make a decision. Probably he could improve our lives. Pakhi didi and Virat sir are too occupied with proving to everyone how great they are. I have no expectations from them. Perhaps Samrat could change that.
