Chapter - 18

Woh noor ka jharna hai

Main pyaas puraani

Maine aankh se gatak liya uss husn ka paani (x2)

Usey takte takte takte umr guzaarun

Koi aur khayal jo aaye jhat se utaarun

Ishq karoon ya karoon ibaadat

Ishq karoon ya karoon ibaadat

Ikko hi gal ai..

Alif Allah, Alif Allah, Alif Allah hooo..

I returned back home and threw my bag on the bed and sat near the window looking outside and I was furious not that he betrayed me but because why did he have to do that ? Why does everyone want to target me so much ? Do they want my company or they just can't handle me being on top ?

"Hey ! You fine ?" I heard a voice and that voice just soothened me and i smiled and looked at the owner of that voice .

I saw aditya he was again looking so tired.

"Aditya ! You always look so tired ! Why don't you take a leave and rest someday ?" I asked him looking at him who was taking of his watch off .

"Gauri ! This is my work and it soothens me ! I like saving lives I makes me feel like i helped someone live who was helpless and couldn't save themselves!" He said and i smiled looking at him .

"This world needs more people like you !" I said and looked outside the window.

"And why so ? "He asked me .

"Because we lack good people ! "You are a good person but plus point i know one thing! I said looking at him .

"What ? "He asked me before entering the washroom to wash his hands.

"If i ever get sick or get into an accident or something you can save me !" I said looking outside the window but he didn't reply instead after a few seconds he came outside the washroom and stood infront of me.

"What ?" I asked him looking at him .

"Why are you so obsessed with all this death stuff ! "Can you stop saying that something is going to happen to you ! He said looking at me .

"Well everyone is gonna die someday !" I said looking at him .

"That someday is not today ! "He said looking at me with sharp eyes . This was the first time that I saw a glimpse of anger in his eyes .

"Aditya ! Relax ! "I said looking at him .

"Just never say this death thing ever again in front of me !" He said and left the room .

"What has gotten into him ? "I thought to myself and then sat down again watching the beautiful stars dwel into the blue sky .

I checked my watch and it was almost dinner time so i went downstairs.

I was on my way downstairs tying my hair in a bun when my eyes fell to the person who was looking more so digging into my soul kind of staring .

"Gauri ! You are ! "Maa said and i gave her a smile .

"Gauri ! Come sit here !" His father said patting the seat next to him .

"Are you sure ? "I asked him because ...

"But papa i want to sit with you !"

"No my son will sit with me ! You are a disappointment anyways ! Atleast he can earn money all you can do is play with dolls ! "

"Yes beta ! I am sure ! "He said passing me a smile and i took the seat next to him .

"Gauri Chachi !" Chaarvi said coming to me and hugging me .

"Yes my love ! "I replied in a sweet voice and someone choked on literal water .

"Aditya ! You alright?" Maa asked him patting his back .

"Maa how will he be fine his wife is calling someone else baby !" Sanjivini bhabhi said teasing him and he looked at me like he had seen a ghost .

"Chachi ! We are going shopping tomorrow for chachu's surprise birthday party !" She said smiling at me and all the others except aditya facepalmed themselves.

"I told you not to tell him ! I even bribed you with chocolate !" Sanjivini bhabhi said looking at him .

"Guys you are planning a birthday party for me ? "He asked them .

"Shut up and act like you didn't hear anything !" Ved bhai said looking at aditya.

"Okay ! What were we talking about ?" He said asking them acting all clueless.

"Baby ! "Sanjivini bhabhi said acting like she was coughing and aditya gave her a death glare .

"Chachi ! We are going for shopping! Will you come with us ?" Chaarvi asked me cutely pouting and cupping my cheeks .

"Chaarvi she must be bus-

"It's okay bhabhi! I can take a leave or go late or work from home for one day ! After all this cute little munchkin asked me ! "I said and they all looked at me like they had seen a ghost .

Chaarvi got down my arms and went back to her mother ! I picked up the glass of water and was drinking it when someone said something that made me choke on it ..

"Gauri ! You would make an amazing mother !" Sanjivini bhabhi said looking at me and i choked on the water .

"Are you okay gauri !" Before anyone could have asked me aditya sprinted from his seat and asked me .

"I am okay ! "I said and looked at him then here and there and he smiled a little rubbing the back of his head .

We all ate and then went back to our respective rooms ! Aditya didn't say anything and i am really bad at starting conversations ! It's mostly aditya who says the first thing .

"So it's your birthday ?" I asked him but we were laying down on the bed and face other sides . He didn't reply for a second so i thought maybe he was asleep.

"Yes !" He replied back .

"I didn't know !" I replied back .

"I didn't expect you to know ! "He said and i turned to face him but he was still facing the other side .

"It's not like you know my birth- Before i could complete my sentence aditya replied .

"9th February ! "He said and i was about to face the other side when he turned back and faced me .

"Sorry !" I replied looking straight at his eyes .

"Second time ! "He said .

"What ? "I asked him .

"It's the second time you have said sorry to me ! "He replied back .

"You remember everything so easily and here I am who forgets her own birthday!" I said looking at him .

"You don't forget it ! You just don't want to remember it ! "He said looking at me .

"There's nothing good to remember about that day !" I replied back .

"Papa but it's my birthday today ! "

"I don't care ! "

"There is ! "He replied back .

"What ? "I asked him curiously.

"If you had not been born then you would have not been in my life !" He said looking at me .

"Then someone else would have been !" I replied .

"But still it wouldn't have been you !" He replied back looking straight into my eyes .

"Aditya ! Tell me something you like about me ! " I said looking at him .

"How about everything! I told you before you i don't have words to describe what you or that little smile of yours does to me ! " He replied back looking into my eyes .

I didn't know what got into me but i just hugged him but when I realised I was about to get off but he held me from my waist stopping me .

"Don't ! "He said.

"Thanks Aditya ! "I said snuggling more into the hug .

"For what ?" He asked me .

"For being there everytime no matters the circumstances ! "I said .

"And thanks for letting me be there !" He replied and i chuckled lightly .

"But you didn't still tell me when your birthday is ? "I asked him again looking at him .

"19 th July ! "He replied.

"But isn't that like 2 days later ?" I asked him .

"Yeah ! Gauri by the way I need to tell you something! "He said

"What?" I asked him .

"Leave it ! I will tell you clearly tomorrow ! You sleep it's already very late !" He said and switched off the lights .

"Good night Mr Doctor !" I said looking at him as he was still hugging me .

"Good night Mrs ceo ! "He replied and i hugged him back too .

( Your author is just so creative she finds ways to add the title in the book )

Third person pov -

That night they didn't know when they slept all they know is that the embrace was so warm that they just sunk into it . They didn't want sweet dreams anymore because what they dreamt of was already real .

Gauri's pov -

In the morning -

I woke up and found aditya still hugging me . I smiled and tried to get his hand off my waist but ..

"Sleep na gauri ! You don't have work today ! "He whined but i still got out of his embrace.

"But i have a little kid who is waiting for me and if i don't go she may cry ! So tata bye bye ! "I said and left from there .

I got ready but that sleepyhead was still asleep guess his surgeries are late today . I looked at his sleeping figure in the mirror and then ultimately decided to wake him up .

"Aditya ! Get up don't you have work at the hospital ?" I asked him trying to get him up .

"No ! My surgeries are later in the night ! You come and sleep ! "He said trying to pull me with him but I got up and went downstairs.

"Chaaru !" I looked at chaarvi who was running approaching me .

"Chachi ! You are here ! I was waiting for you !" Chaarvi said hugging me .

"Now I am here come on let's go !" I said and she held my hand and all three of us went out to shop .

This was the first time in a while that i was shopping for myself that too without sakshi or mumma but i enjoyed a lot with sanjivini and that little munchkin too .

We were entering the house talking and laughing at something when suddenly my eyes fell to aditya who was hugging a girl ! Or was the girl hugging him .

He looked at me and he pushed her away and i looked at him with an arched eyebrows look ! He looked at sanjivi and she appeared to be shocked as well .

"Vani ! What is she doing here ?" Sanjivini bhabhi said looking at the girl who aditya just pushed away from him.

Who is this Vani ? I thought to myself..
