Part 3:
"ummm sarita". Vikrant tried to talk to sarita. Sarita was already very nervous, because it
was there first night. And now for the rest of the they had to live together in the same room.
"Sarita you can sleep here on bed. I will sleep on couch". Sarita was suprised by vikrant's
behaviour. He seemed so stubborn, but she realised that he was good at heart. "nahi, ummm
wait", with this sarita took vikrant's pillow and blanket from the couch and kept on the bed.
She created a boundary on the bed, so that they both could sleep peacefully, and sarita went
to washroom. When she came out of washroom, she realised that vikrant already fell asleep.
She closed the lights, and drifted into a deep sleep.
Next Day:
Vikrant suddenly woke up with a jerk. He saw the closk, and realised its 9 already. He rushed
to abhi's room, but abhi was nowhere to be seen. He went to aarti's room, to know abhi but
even aarti was missing. He went to kitchen to see sarita cooking.
"Wheres abhi??" vikrant asked in a concerned way. "Abhi went to school". Vikrant was
shocked, that sarita took charge of his son in a day, he tried to argue, "but abhi eats eggs for
breakfast only". Sarita replied, "i know thats why i made bolied eggs for him with a glass of
milk". Vikrant was still not convinced, he continued, "but his school is very strict. His
uniform should be ironed, and his bag should be properly packed". Sarita was annoyed
with vikrant's rambling, "God!! Mr Suryavanshi, i ironed his clothes. Made him wear his
ID card. Prepared his bag, prepared him for the test. i checked his bag thrice to make sure
that he takes everything is in it. And yes i made lunch for him also". Vikrant was shocked
that she became abhi's mother in just a day. Vikrant was about to leave, when he turned and
asked her, "Where is aarti??" Sarita went upto vikrant and said, "do you always wake up and
start asking questions about people's whereabouts". Vikrant eyed her aggressively. Sarita
continued, "i mean thats quite irritating. Mr Suryavanshi why are you so worried,
you proposed me for marriage, so that i could take care of hour family like jhanvi did, and
i m doing that, so why are you so unsure". Vikrant realized that sarita was right. He turned
to leave, but sarita called him, "ummm Mr Suryavanshi, its already 9. I think you should be
getting ready and leaving for office?" vikrant nodded his head in approval, and was again
about to leave when sarita called him again. He was irritated, he said, "Why do you
remember things on interval. Cant you say everything in a go". Sarita continued,
" ummm its just that i want us to become friends. Like we would be living together for the
rest of our lives, so why dont we start this relationship with frienship rather than we
continuously being at eachothers' loggerhead. Vikrant knew that it wasnt a bad idea, so he
nodded his head in approval and left. Sarita said to herself, " Mr. Akdu seems as hard as
coconut".
Vikrant was talking on phone while having breakfast. Sarita was serving him tea. Sarita
thought to herself, "How can a person be so busy that he doesnt have time for himself".
She said to vikrant," Mr. Suryavanshi your tea". She was about to leave when vikrant
called her, "Sarita, abhi would be back from school by 2, so pliease take care of him".
Sarita replied, " you dont worry, abhi is my son". Vikrant suggested," and yes, sarita why
dont you start working again like aarti. I mean that you would get bored alone in this house".
"I would think about it, but abhi would suffer because of my job. And i dont want that.
You know today when i went to wake up abhi. He woke up in a minute". Vikrant interrupted,
"but abhi doesnt like waking up in the morning. Its very difficult to wake him up". Sarita
continued, " i know, and abhi did that for me so that he could show me that he is a good son.
So even i would be a good mother to him. I dont think i want to work".
Vikrant was shocked by sarita's words. More than shocked he was touched. How can a a
girl love his son so much. He always feared that any woman would become if abhi's
stepmother if he ever got remarried. But sarita accepted abhi whole heartedly.
Infact it was abhi, who made sarita marry vikrant. Vikrant turned to leave,
but he turned again to say," Ummm saritaa, Thankyou". He immediately left after saying
thankyou. Sarita smiled and went to her room.
Sarita was cleaning up the room, when she opened her cupboard. She took out raj's parcel.
Her finger runned through the words, "Open Only When You Are Ready". She always took
out this parcel to open it, but these wordings of raj, gave her a feeling that this parcel
someway or another would ask her to move on. Which she cant. She might have married
vikrant, but she lived in the memories of raj.
Next day:
"Mummaaa, Mummaaa". Abhi was shouting and crying. Sarita heard abhi's tensed voice,
and she ran downstairs. She saw abhi bruised, and his knee was bleeding. She immediately
went to abhi. She picked him up and made him sit on the sofa. Till then vikrant even came
from office for lunch. Sarita brought first aid bor from the kitchen. While applying detol on
abhi's wounds, she asked him, "how did this happen abhi??" Abhi was too scared to tell her
the scene. Sarita hushed abhi, hugged her and consoled her that she is with him. Abhi became
comfortable and told her the whole incident, that some seniors pushed him. He fell and was bruised. Sarita consoled
abhi. Vikrant even rushed to abhi, and hugged him. Sarita took abhi to his room, made him
change his clothes, and made him sleep. Vikrant came to abhi's room. He asked sarita," is
he okay now??" sarita assured him that he is. Sarita was about to leave, when she saw
vikrant very concerned about abhi. She went upto vikrant and asked him," Mr Suryavanshi
are you okay??" vikrant was holding abhi's hand, so he didnt pay attention to sarita's
question," Mr Suryavanshi abhi is okay. Nothing happened. He is a kid, he just fell". Vikrant
was in no mood to hear, he was very concerned about abhi. Sarita held vikrant's hand,
which diverted vikrant's attention towards herself, she continued,"See Mr Suryavanshi,
Abhi would never leave you. I know you are concerned about abhi, but this concern would
limit him. Just let him fly. I m here to hold abhi whenever he is not well. You are here to
protect abhi. How would anything happen to him". Vikrant replied, "but i cant loose him
sarita. After jhanvi's death he is the only person for whom i returned back. I would have
died if i was alone". Sarita held vikrant's hand more tightly and consoled him saying, "you
would never loose him. Trust me Mr. Suryavanshi. Abhi would always be there with us".
Vikrant thanked sarita,"I m really protective about abhi. Thanks for being such a good
mother of abhi". Sarita replied, " I would always be". And sarita left the room. Vikrant
remembered his and raj's conversation:
Raj was constantly counting the minutes remaining for the flight to land. He was excited to
meet sarita. Vikrant noticed his excitement and asked him,"Dont worry, flight will land in
half an hour". Raj replied in a disappointed way, "Yeah i know still 30 mins to go".
Vikrant smiled at raj's excitement. He asked, "Excited to meet girlfriend or wife".
Raj replied, "Neither girlfriend nor wife. Today is my marriage, and i m excited to marry
the love of my life". Vikrant argued, "Marriage sounds interesting only the start.
After sometime it becomes a headache". Raj laughed and replied, "I know, but she is not
like this. She is very understanding. She never doubted me. She has been there for me
through thick and thin. You know, whenever i m tensed or worried. I run to her, and she has
the best solutions. Sometime back, my father died, and she was there with me, holding my
hand. Wiping my tears".
Vikrant regained his consciousness, he said to himself, "Raj was certainly right. Sarita is
really very understanding".
Vikrant and Sarita's friendship was becoming stronger with each passing day. Vikrant
opened the doors of his heart, but the walls built around sarita were still very strong until
one day.
"Sarita Saritaaa" aarti called for sarita. Sarita came out of kitchen and replied," Yes, what
happened aarti??" Aarti continued, "Bhaiyaa called today, he wants you to get ready. As
today he has to go to a meeting". Sarita was confused that why she had to go. Aarti
continued, "Arey bhaiya's delegates would be there with there wives, so you also have to go".
Sarita was okay with it. She knew they were friends, but for the world they were husband
and wife. Sarita went to get ready.
Aarti cunningly picked up the phone and called vikrant, "Bhaiyaa today is your meeting naa??"
Vikrant said, "Yeah so what about that??" Aarti replied, "So why dont you take bhabhi along
with you, as your delegates would be there with there family, and you would look odd alone".
Vikrant knew that aarti was right so he asked aarti to tell sarita to get ready. Aarti ended the
call, and was overjoyed with unoffical date of vikrant and sarita.
In the evening:
Vikrant entered the room, and he was mesmerised to see sarita dressed in a black sari.
Vikrant was continously admiring sarita oblivious to sarita. Sarita turned to see vikrant
looking at her. She asked him, " Do you want something??" vikrant was completely
unaware of the surrounding and was like, " umm nahi, nothing. I have to get ready.
Vikrant rushed to the washroom. "How could a person be so khadus, to not to compliment
a girl when she is all dressed". Sarita picked up her bangles and said," why i m so bothered.
Leave Mr Vikrant. I know i m looking pretty"
"How can you get attracted to her vikrant. She is raj's window, the person who died
because of you. You made her suffer. You cant love her, you would make her suffer even
more". Vikrant saw himself in the mirror and was like, "I have to stay away from her.
We are not meant for eachother". Vikrant came out of the washroom and they both left
for the party.
Sarita and vikrant were feeling uncomfortable in the presence of vikrant's lovey dovey
clients. Sarita was playing with the ring in her finger. Vikrant noticed that and asked her,
"Getting bored??" sarita replied, " not bored, its just they are lost in their own world.
And we..." but sarita couldnt complete her sentence. Even vikrant knew what sarita
meant so he didnt dare to repeat her.
"So vikrant, i heard you got married some days ago. How is your martial life going.
You know marriage seems like a abode of heaven in the initial days, later it becomes
mental asylum". His wife turned to him, " What do you mean by mental asylum??"
they both started arguing. Vikrant and sarita were controlling their laugh seeing their
argument. Sarita asked vikrant, " So is it heaven or mental asylum for you??" Vikrant
turned towards sarita, to see sarita mischeviously gazing at him, "I wont comment on
that as of now". Vikrant continued the nok-jhok. Sarita asked, " What do you mean by you wont comment. I have made your house a
mental asylum??" vikrant continued," you always argue, so what do you think what would i
say??" Sarita was irritated, she said," Because you give me chances to argue with you. That
day you were investigating about abhi, and you wasted my 15 minutes. Today you saw me
all dressed, but you didnt even bother to compliment me". Sarita realized what did she say.
Even she didnt knew that she wanted vikrant to compliment her. Vikrant whispered in her
ear,"You look really beautiful today. If i was raj, i would have embraced you to never let you
go". Raj's name brought sarita to her senses. She realised that she was raj's widow, not
vikrant's life. She completely forgot about raj in vikrant's friendship. She realised she was
getting too much close to vikrant.
On the other hand, even vikrant was shocked at his own wordings. " why i want to take raj's
place in her heart. Vikrant you can never be raj. So stop thinking about it". After this,
they ignored eachother till the dinner.
In the car:
Suddenly it started running, and there car stopped working. "Dammit, how will we go home
now??" Sarita asked vikrant," Mr Suryavanshi, you dont believe in walking??" Vikrant dint
understand what did sarita mean so he asked her, " What do you mean??"
Sarita continued, " i mean its hardly 15 mins walk from home, so we could just walk rather
than bring a mechanic, which is quite impossible in this weather". Vikrant argued, " Exactly,
its raining, and i hate rain". Sarita started laughing and said," How can you hate rain Mr
Suryavanshi. When those droplets fall on your face, its the best blessing of God ever".
Vikrant ignored her, but sarita dragged him out of the car, saying " Come Mr Suryavanshi,
i will show you how to enjoy rain". Vikrant came out of the car, " And whats so unusual
about it, we are completely drenched". Sarita replied, " God!! Mr Suryanvanshi can you
please ignore pros and focus on the cons. I mean its so refreshing. Better than your car
atleast". Sarita jumped in the rain, which caused puddles to splash. Sarita said, "See how
much fan it is". Vikrant saw sarita so refreshed, so he ignored all his barriers. Ignored the
fact that he was Vikrant Suryavanshi. He enjoyed in the rain. They started walking in the run.
They were some minuted away from their home, when suddenly sarita fell due to slippery
ground, whwich caused a sprain in her foot. Vikrant concernedly picked sarita up in his arms,
and carried her to the house. Even to the room. He made sarita comfortable on the bed.
There faces were some inches away, they were about to kiss. When vikrant suddenly
realised that it was wrong. He left the room, leaving behind a shocked sarita.
"I was about to kiss Mr Suryavanshi. I love raaj. How can i forget him. What is happening to
you sarita. Why are you so confused. I dont love Mr. Suryavanshi, i only love raj". Then she
questioned herself, "If i love raj, then why i am so hurt with Mr Suryavanshi going like this.
Please help me raj, please help me". She realized that she had raj's parcel in the cupboard.
Now she was actually ready to open that parcel. Now she really wanted to move on with the
help of raj. She struggled through the bed, but somehow took parcel from the cupboard.
On the other hand, Vikrant was feeling guilty. "Vikrant You know you love her. But you cant
have her. She is raj's widow. She loves raj. RAAAJJ. Raj is the person who died because of
you". He was angry on the fact that sarita was raj's widow. On the fact that he had to meet
raj in that plane crash. "Why raj why. Why did you come to my life. Because of you i cant
have sarita. I wish we both werent there in that flight. I wish that incident never happened,
i wish jhanvi and you never died. How i wish everything was back to normal".
Vikrant was in tears for the first time.
P.S okay guys, so bear with another part. And yes i would end it after 3-5 part more. The shorter the better.
