CHAPTER 73
She is standing on the balcony, looking at Shimla very well. The sparkle in her eyes shows how happy she is, seeing this place after so many days makes her smile.
The cold wave has already hit Shimla, and the evening is turning very chilly. So he immediately comes to the balcony, covers her with a shawl, takes her in his arms from behind, kisses her on the forehead, and tells her.
"Love, please come inside... It's already very cold outside. You know this cold is not good for you. come on… let's sleep…"
"I want to meet my parents. I am missing them.
After a full week, Mrityunjay heard her voice. There is no limit to his happiness. He lovingly holds her face, kisses her forehead, and, repeating this act two or three times, says this to her by resting his head against her.
"We have come here to meet your parents, and you will definitely meet them; just give me a few hours in your embrace. I want to sleep with you and cuddle you tightly. Tonight, I will leave you with your family. Then you can comfortably stay with them."
What Mrityunjay told her, she did not understand at all because it was something that she could not understand even after understanding it well too. She is confused, and yes, she wants to be confused. Why is he saying this? She just started looking at him. Mrityunjay does not want to say anything more to her. So immediately, taking her in his arms, he lays down on the bed and rests his face well in her valley, deep inhaling her fragrance to fill his lungs with her natural scent. He just lies there without saying anything.
She wants to hold him in her arms. Why is he saying that she can live comfortably with her parents and wants to be with him too? She also loves her parents. She loves him as much, so why is he talking about separating her from himself? She does not have that much courage. Now she can ask him anything after meeting her parents first. Only then can she ask him any question.
He wants to spend a good time with her because he does not know whether he will be able to see her again or not. All he knows is that he has come from here to leave her to her parents, then go back quietly after he meets with her mother tomorrow. He knows that he is in a very strange situation. But nothing matters more to him at the moment than Mayil's happiness. He has hidden all his pain in a corner of his heart, which is bleeding badly, and has forced himself so much that he has brought Mayil here to the man he hates the most in the world.
They both slept in each other's embrace, but suddenly, at 11:00 PM, he woke up and checked the time. He slept so peacefully in her warm embrace that he did not know the time when he was about to drop her off at his father's house at nightfall. He looks at Mayil, and she is sleeping too. He does not feel like waking up Mayil from her sweet sleep at all. But he has to leave from here tomorrow in any case, so today he has to prepare himself for this thing. He kisses her forehead and strokes her hair gently, but today she immediately gets up from sleep. He smiles and says,.
"Get ready; we are already late because we slept."
"We are going to my parent's house."
Mrityunjay immediately falls silent because the enthusiasm that is present in her voice is of a different kind. He starts to regret on his own that he forced this girl to stay away from her parents for 3 years. He smiles as he knows his mistake, but he can't change anything. But now, whatever is possible, he wants to do it for her, and he quickly nods. She gets ready because she is very excited to meet her parents. He helps her to wear a thick jacket, and he gives her a phone.
"I already put my number in it... You can call me whenever you want; I am just one call away from you. You just have to call me, and I will come to you."
"Why are you saying why are you going away from me?"
"I am not going anywhere; I am leaving you with your parents so that you can be with them as much as you want, because after that one day I will come back again and take you with me forever... I will kidnap my bride this time."
They both chuckled. He sits on his knees and takes out a box from his pants pocket, then takes out a ring and says,.
"I love you... Will you marry me?"
The condition of both is such that both of them have forgotten everything that Mrityunjay had told her a few days ago, that something had happened between them, and that both of them were completely unaware of each other for a few moments. Here, both just want to get completely lost in each other. Apart from this, they do not know anything, so Mayil immediately nods her head as soon as she hears him. As he places the ring on her finger, he passionately kisses her, ensuring that no one can separate them. He takes the ring back and says,.
"Now I will make you wear this ring when we are married... Let's go."
"I want to surprise them."
"Fine…"
It's midnight. There is no one to be seen on the road. Mrityunjay sat with Mayil in his arms all the way because he didn't know when he would be able to take her in his arms like this next time.
She is on the other side of Jagdish's house, where Mayil's room is exactly located. Mayil wants to go inside from that side so that she can surprise her parents by going to their room. Both Mrityunjay and Mayil get out of the car. Mayil hugs him tightly, kisses his lips, and tells him.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
Sweta is unable to sleep today, and in any case, she does not want to take sleep medicine today. She tried hard to fall asleep, but sleep was far from her eyes. So she goes to the balcony and stands so that she can get some relief.
Quietly standing on her balcony. No one can easily see her because it's very dark here. She just wants to stand quietly on the balcony for a while. Then she sees a car stopping near her house. A couple comes out and hugs each other, then they kiss, and she smiles slightly.
When that girl starts coming towards her house, she does not understand anything because why is someone coming to her house at this hour of the night and from the back side? After coming into contact with the street light, that girl's face starts showing her very clearly.
"Mahi… "
Mayil stops at the same door before opening it and turning around. The man is still standing there, but she is not able to see his face because of the leaves on the dense tree. She can see his body just below his neck, but not his face. Mayil immediately runs to the man and holds him tightly in her arms.
They embrace each other so passionately that they are unable to part ways. Sweta's eyes start to get wet because she remembers the taunt of the society that they are constantly throwing at Jagdish, and he is helpless to confront them. His daughter never elopes with a boy; Mayil quickly comes inside; Sweta quickly runs inside; and the car leaves immediately.
Mayil is entering the house without making any sound at all, but as soon as she enters the hall from the back door, she finds herself surprised as her mother is coming down the stairs and looking at her. Seeing her mother in front, Mayil's happiness has no bounds. She runs and hugs her mother and starts crying, just like a small child.
But Sweta didn't hug her or even touch her. Soon, Mayil realized this. She looked at her mother before she could say anything, and Sweta slapped her so hard that she fell straight to the floor.
"Mumma… "
"For 3 years, I was crying... My daughter is missing... Someone may have kidnapped her. Maybe something bad happened to her.
Mayil does not understand at all why her mother slapped her. She immediately gets up from the ground, comes to her mother, and tells her.
"Mumma … Why are you angry?"
"With whom were you for 3 years? ..."
"Mumma, I was kidnapped, but now..."
Mayil cannot even complete her point. Even before this, Shweta starts clapping and looking at Mayil from head to toe. She is looking much healthier than before, and her clothes are also heavily branded. Looking at everything about her, it seems that she was living a very luxurious life. With diamond studs in her ears and a very expensive solitaire pendant on her neck, she leaves them for this luxury—the only thing revolving around her mind.
"Kidnapped….. I want to meet that kidnapper who provides so much luxury to his kidnapped prey. You are lying... Just lying.... What were we missing? .... What was missing in our love? .... If you loved someone, then you would have told us; if we refused, then I would have understood the matter. I do not understand what I should tell you and what not to tell you. But the truth is that, seeing your face, I hate you today. You broke me from the inside….You were my pride, but today you have proved that you are just a stigma."
" Mumma… I am not lying to you. I am telling you absolutely the truth... I was kidnapped, and after that, something happened: I fell in love with the one who kidnapped me. If you listen to me once, then you know."
" Love….. You guys don't even know the meaning of love. You have treachery and dishonesty in your blood. Today, I am ashamed of myself for having decided to give birth to you after fighting with the whole world. Whereas Jagdish told me that I should kill you in my venter because you should not prove to be a stigma for me, and you have proved the same... You are a big blot to me. You are just like your father... He cheated on me, and you are the same. You betrayed the man who loved you more than his children. He never expected another child. He raised you with love, and you cheated on that man's love. Jagdish loves you so much, even knowing that you are not his child."
Shweta has absolutely no idea that Mayil is just silently listening to her words and is not giving any kind of reaction. Sweta cries, holds her head, and falls to the floor.
"I loved that man... I loved him dearly... I never once thought before handing myself over to him. Love is like this: we trust our partner.... But the day Shivam came to know that I was going to be the mother of his child, he disappeared as if he did not know that there was ever anything between us. The dirty blood of the same person is bleeding in you, so how can you not be dishonest? He betrayed my love, and you betrayed my and Jagdish's love, and you are coming here and telling us a lie that you were kidnapped... Shame on you.... Why don't you kill yourself before showing your ugly face again to me?"
Right now, there are only two broken women there, and no one is there except both of them. There is no sound of any kind, and no one is there to console them. Both are fighting with themselves.
