Chapter 3

Samrat's POV

Guest Room

I engrossed myself in thoughts of past events as I was sitting on a rocking chair. I couldn’t help but feel tinge of remorse for what I've done to Aai. I should have told her about my whereabouts. I Should have told her before leaving her. I must apologise to her and talk to patralekha about our marriage. I went to aai's room to find her sobbing on the bed. My guilt intensified. I went to her and put my head on her knees. She caressed my hair delicately and said

"Kyu Samrat? Agar Virat aur Patralekha se koi galti ho gayi, agar un dono ne thes pohchaya to tum bhag kyu gaye? Situation ko face kyu nahi kiya? Mujhe bata sakte the, mujhe apne sath le ja sakte the"

"Galti ho gayi aai. Maine socha aap yaha sabke sath rahengi to meri kami mehsoos nahi hogi. Mujhe aisa nahi karna chahiye tha"

" jo ho gaya so gaya ab bolo aage kya? Tum patralekha se baat kyu nahi karte? Wo kya chahti hai. Phir decision lo. Usne 1 saal tumhari intezar kiya hai"

I felt queasy as she said that. I felt a lump forming in my throat and couldn't bring myself to say the truth to her that she's been staying for Virat not him. And was sure that she was disappointed with his arrival. She seemd disappointed when she looked at him. Shoving all these thoughts away I promised to my aai that I would talk to patralekha. I kissed her goodnight and went back to the guest room.

Terrace (next morning)

I thought of going to terrace to ponder over what things will I discuss with Patralekha. I saw sayi studying her medical book on a swing there. She looked kind of tense and exhausted, her dark circle was visible perhaps she didn’t have a sound sleep last night yet She looked beautiful as morning breeze made her hair strands sway. She seemed immersed in her studies. I wondered how come Virat didn’t fall for her even after she did so much for our family. I couldn’t help myself wondering if she could see throuh my pain. I wondered if she had the same sentiments about Virat patrakekha's relationship as I had. Has she suffered because of it. I felt more remorseful. Had I known Virat got married to sayi, I would have returned home sooner. I must talk to patralekha and get our lives back on track

************************************************

Patralekha's room

"Patralekha may I talk to you"

"Kya baat karoge Samrat? Ab kya bacha hain baat karne ko. Kal tumne meri kitni beizatti ki. Sabke samne mujhe beizzat kiya. Sayi waha se tumhara brain wash karke layi hai na samrat. Tumne uske bato pe yakin karke meri beizatti kardi. KYU SAMRAT!? " her eyes became wide, eaes red as she said all these. Has she lost it?

"Ye mat bhulo patralekha ki Sayi ke wajah se hi main aaj yaha khada hu"

" tum ye maat samajhna samrat ki main tumhare aage gidgidayungi. Pyar ki bhikh mangungi. Itne din intezar kiya par ab nahi"

"Hum dono jante hai ki tum Virat ke waja se ruki hui thi mere liye nahi"

"Main tumse baat hi kyu rah rahi hu. Sayi ne to ab tak mere liye zaher bhar diya hai"

"Zaban samhalke patralekha, sayi ne tumhari khilaf kuch bhi galat nahi kiya. Isme sayi ka kya galti hai uski shadi Virat se ho gayi? Tum sayi ke liye itna bura kyu sochti ho. Khair hum hamare bareme baat kare? Hamare bich kuch nahi hai. Main Orphanage me khush hu. Wahi lautna chahta hu divorce ke baad. Is bareme sochna patrakekha aur mujhe batana. Ab main chalta hu"

Chapter 4

Days have passed since Samrat had the talk with Patralekha. Everyone forced Samrat to give his marriage a second chance. Samrat seemed firm in his decision until out of the blue Patralekha suddenly started behaving like an Idea wife who's in love with her husband. She started making sweet gestures towards him. Samrat got confused by the sudden shift in Pakhi's conduct. He couldn’t shove off the feeling that Pakhi is doing all these to make Virat jealous. Sayi on the other hand thinks Pakhi is pretending to be in love with samrat to be mahan in everyone's eyes, specially Virat's. Two brothers have patched up, Virat's behaviour towards sayi is becoming worse day by day. Samrat Couldn't help noticing every time something dramatic happens, it starts with Patralekha instigating everyone agaisnt sayi and Virat joining her accusing Sayi. In vain had he tried to take a stand for Sayi. Each time he tries Virat and Pakhi starts self- victimizing. He fails to take a stand for Himself as well. Whenever he brings up the betrayal they had inflicted on him, they starts crying. Every other family member gets angry for making the so called decent mature people upset. And the one's that understand the whole situation still expects Sayi and Samrat to put up with such nonsense behaviour. Samrat these days inadvertently sings "Ab to adat si hai mujhko aise jeene mein". For the sake of his mature brother and wife he didn’t dare bringing up divorce until Sayi faced horrible fate due to their mahanta. Sayi left CN because a few days ago Virat had crossed all limits and locked up Sayi in her room. Sayi escaping Virat's detention has hurt Virat's big fat male ego which eventually led him to mentally torture Sayi even more. Samrat got worried for Sayi. He wanted to bring her back. But Virat was too occupied in self pity. It was difficult to talk to him. Virat couldn’t speak 2 sentences without crying about how mean Sayi was to him. As Virat was crying, accusing Sayi and Samrat for his and Pakhi's misfortunes Samrat's phone rang. Pulkit's name popped up in his screen. He picked it up only to find out Sayi was in the hospital. She had met with an accident.

Chapter 5

Tum thik to ho na Sayi?

[The story takes place two weeks after Sayi gets discharge from hospital. Her health is better now. She was reluctant to go back to CN but everyone requested and she agreed due to emotional vulnerability]

Samrat's POV

I was pondering over things that have happened after I returned. I have overheard Virat Sayi's conversations on some occasions. I got know how disrespectful Patralekha has been towards Sayi's privacy. Virat seemed least bothered about that. People don’t say anything to my face but I got the gist of what had happened in my absence by observing them. What on earth was I thinking when I decided to marry Patralekha! I was so smitten by her beauty that I foolishly agreed to marry without knowing her first. I should have waited a few more months. But would doing that had changed things? She's afterall never truthful about her feelings. She puts on this perfect Ideal bahu facade in front of everyone. On numerous occasions I have caught her mentally harassing Devi tai and Sayi. I've seen her disrespecting Ashwini mami. I've seen her insinuating Sayi when no one's around, playing dumb later and putting the entire blame on her. I had put her on higher pedestal besotten by her beauty that I forgot to look past the exterior pretense. How stupid! Each time I try to correct her behaviour towards Sayi, Tai and Ashwini mami; Virat comes in her rescue. And both of them blames Sayi. It's clear from Patralekha's manners that She's still in love with Virat. But I'm doubtful about Virat's feelings about patralekha. No matter what it is, love, infatuation, lust I don’t care. He isn't the old Virat I used to know. Perhaps he's changed because of Patralekha. I can't tolerate him for he has done to Sayi. Sayi's fragile state has caused me to detest Virat. I must make Sayi realize how toxic all these is. I was determined to end my marriage officially now more than ever. I will try to convince Sayi to do the Same. We've had enough of this toxic relationship. I went to Virat's room to see how Sayi was doing. The door was opened so I barged in just like Patralekha does. Sayi was reading a book on bed. Virat was trying to make a conversation with her. They were not in talking terms. I ignored him and looked sayi straight in the eye and said, " tum thik to ho na sayi?". She nodded . She didn’t speak much after the accident. "mujhe tumse kuch personal baat karni thi akele mein". I hope Virat takes the cue and leaves the room.

Ohhh I loved it so much....read it all....
