Part- 4

Abhinav: Am I liking her or her company or both? But how could it be possible that suddenly I am getting interested in any stranger? (Soon his brain mocked her because she's not a stranger. She's your wife so liking her or her company is not wrong.)

He agreed with his brain and looked towards her who's nervously chewing her nails and as usual muttering something under breath.

Abhinav: (Monologue) unique piece sometimes I think of her as mature but the next moment itself she proves me wrong. I think I must spend lots of time with her to know what exactly Saira Abhinav Agnihotri is?

He smiled thinking it and continued to drive meanwhile Saira slept on his shoulder yeah, she soon fell asleep as he was busy in his world.

After 2 hours

He stopped the car and saw towards her who was sleeping but her cheeks were wet like she cried while sleeping. He felt sad seeing it, a tear escaped from his eyes too which fell on her hand.

She opened his eyes but before she could see his tears he turned towards the other side. Immediately wipes her tears and sets her hair.

Saira: You should have woken me.

He also plastered a fake smile and turned towards her. He again became amazed seeing her, no one can say before some moments she was crying.

Abhinav: I thought to let you sleep in the car itself. Seeing you like that I only remember witches who slept after ages.

Saira: Don't you think you speak a lot, your brother told me that you'll take time but I didn't know you're so fast.

Abhinav: What to do, it's all due to your company. Now let's move, your parents must be waiting for you.

Saira: I don't think so.

Saying it she came out from the car and moved towards her home. He parked the car and went behind her.

She kept staring at the close door.

Saira: Can you knock? I have pain in my hands.

Understanding her condition he knocks on the door, Soon a servant opens the door and greets them.

Saira: Good morning

Saying it she came inside, She saw her parents were running there.

Saira: Ma Baba

They saw towards her emotionally and moved near her, she thought they'd hug her but to her disappointment, they just went near Abhinav. She turned towards him, he saw her and assured her everything would be okay. She smiled and stood there by herself.

Raghav: Com, Abhinav Ji,

Listening to Abhinav Ji he only remembers Saira's complaint which makes him smile again but he quickly managed to hide it.

Abhinav: I am disappointed in you.

Raghav and Siyali become tense while Saira glared at him but soon her lips curved into a smile.

Siyali: What happened Abhinav Ji, do you not like arrangements?

Abhinav: I thought you'll treat me as your son but here you call me Ji. I only should not keep any expectations.

Saira: (muttered) Darmebaz, no one can say we married like that. It seems we are only destined together.

They became relieved and looked at him.

Raghav: You give us a heart attack. Come inside.

He laughed and brought him inside.

They sat down on the sofa, and Saira was still standing at her place.

Saira: mom dad, will you not even look at me?

Siyali: Abhinav beta you wait I give you water. You must be tired.

Saira: Ma please at least for one look at me, I know I should trust you both but that time I was blind.

Still, they do not react to anything.

Abhinav: Ma Baba I know I shouldn't speak between it but I think you're doing wrong with Saira. I know she did wrong but it was also not her mistake. She also had little idea about it. I'm sure she backed off.

Raghav: You don't know beta how much we tried but she was adamant ignored it.

Abhinav stood and stood beside her.

Abhinav: Saira, you trust me?

She just looked towards him and just nodded in yes.

Abhinav; I want to talk with them alone.

Saira: But

Abhinav: Just let me try.

During their Conversation Raghav and Siyali looked at them, they just felt proud seeing them like it. While she half-heartedly went from there.

He knelt before them.

Abhinav: Ma papa, if you think by her MONOLOGUE then even she was not wrong. She was just immature and thinks by doing adamant behaviour only she makes you agree for marriage, not like those who run away with their love and inform their parents later. That time they did not have any option except accepting it. Am I right?

Siyali and Raghav saw each other and nodded yes. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

Abhinav: Most importantly she should be angry at you as you make her marry against her wish, think you just for saving respect make her married to a stranger even given her swear so she couldn't deny.

Raghav: First of all beta we give her a swear because we know that seeing that girl she must have back off but that time for us only she was important. So we did not allow her to speak on that matter. We don't know why that girl came late but we knew one thing if again her marriage broke then society would not live. Maybe we can shift to another place for her but we still pass each other.

And you're not a stranger beta, we know your grandmother and parents. They're very good. When you both used to live in a hostel, we met your parents and bonded well. When that day he came asking my daughter's hand for you. I immediately said yes as I knew that they'd keep her happy and never let any injustice happen to her.

He was surprised by listening to this revelation. He never expected that Saira and he had some connections like this as well.

Abhinav: Still uncle aunty forgives her, she is trying to move on. It's not easy for her, she used to cry at night remembering you both okay not for her but the sake of your new son. Now you can't deny moreover I promise her that I'll make everything correct if I fail then she'll taunt me with my lifetime.

He made a puppy face, seeing it they nodded in yes.

He called Saira, who came looking downwards and stood beside him.

Siyali and Raghav came near her.

Raghav: Saira, we have not taught you to look down.

She looked upward and immediately hugged them.

Saira: Sorry mom dad, I promise from now onwards I'll always trust your decision but please forgive me.

They patted her back and separated themselves.

Siyali: We forgave you beta but only due to him. So thankful to him.

To be continued.
