Chapter 10: SUPPORT- 3rd shade of Love

The next day, Snehith went to the office and returned to home in the evening. He remembered Advaita calling him in the afternoon.

"Hello," Advaita said.

"Yes, my darling. Are you missing me?"

"I think you are missing me," Advaita said to tease Snehith.

"You are the one who called me. Actually I am too busy to remember you now. After the marriage, you are mine and so I am relaxed. No need to think about you anymore," Snehith said smiling by imagining Advaita's anger for his words.

"Really? Ok then sorry for disturbing you while working. Bye," Advaita said pissed off at his words.

"Wait, wait, Why did you call me?"

"Actually I have planned a surprise for you but as you are too busy to remember me, it's ok. I will cancel the it. Bye," Advaita said.

"Surprise? What's that? Please tell me," Snehith asked.

"Who taught you English?" Advaita said, repeating his words.

"My most beautiful wife."

"What?"

"Yes. That's why I am like this now. Acually after the marriage, I forgot everything and just became mad. All the credit goes to my wife."

"You," Advaita said, angrily.

"Add two more words before you."

"Which words?"

"Two words I love...then you..."

"Yes, I love u."

"Tell me what's the surprise. I will come right now."

"No need to be hurry. Surprise will be waiting for you until the evening. Come soon in the evening."

"Sure," Snehith said.

"Bye," Advaita said.

"Just bye?"

"Then what else should I say?"

"Give me a kiss before disconnecting the call."

Advaita blushed and smiled.

"I missed seeing my wife's beautiful face while blushing," Snehith said.

Advaita kissed him on the phone and he reciprocated.

Snehith came to the room and stood at at door looking at Advaita. She is in a red and golden coloured lehenga. It suited her so perfectly as if the saree is made specially for her. She wore the jewelry and flowers looking like a bride.

"What's going on here?" Snehith asked, mesmerized at her beauty.

Advaita smiled and her cheeks turned crimson enhancing her charm.

Snehith went to Advaita and she stood up. She blushed for Snehith's continuous stare at her.

"Where is my surprise?"

Advaita pointed towards the bed which is beautifully decorated with rose petals and flowers. He then observed the whole room and found it's decorated with scented candles and flowers. Advaita looked at him shockingly seeing his anger.

"Why are you angry? Don't you like this?" Advaita asked, scared of him.

"Who told you to do all this? I know that you heard words of dad yesterday. But I don't want you to behave like this to show that you are loving me. I know you need time and I am ready to wait. Don't do all this bullshit when still your heart is not ready to accept me," Snehith shouted at her.

"Who told you that my heart didn't accept you?"

Snehith caught her hands and showed her injured palm to her.

"I know how does it happened. My closeness and love are hurting you by remembering you the past. I just don't want to happen that. I love you and will love you throughout my life though I need to stay away from u for whole life. But please don't make love as a compromise. Don't compromise your feelings to make me happy."

"Did you finish what you want to say? Shall I speak now?"

"What do you mean?" Snehith said.

"I love you. I love you so much that I want to share my whole life with you. I want to be all your's. Yes, I heard your dad's words. But I am not doing all this for that. I am doing everything with love for you. I want to see you happy. Your closeness is not hurting me. Infact it's soothing me and making me to forget all the pain I faced till now. I just don't know how to explain you my feelings. I am not compromising with love. It's true that I love you," Advaita confessed her feelings for him

Snehith smiled and went near to Advaita. He tried to touch her face with his hand.

"Don't touch me. You didn't understand me. I won't talk with you. Go away from me."

Advaita told these words as a kid with crying. She started hitting him with her hands. Snehith smiled and cupped her face, kissing her lips. Advaita shocked for a minute and then, responded slowly. She hugged him tightly. He kissed her for a long time which reflects all his love towards her. He slowly left her. Advaita walked away from him as she is nervous and shy. Snehith caught her wrist and whispered in her ears.

"I am sorry."

Advaita smiled and turned towards him bending her head. Snehith made her to look at his eyes.

"I love your surprise. Thank you."

"It's ts not yet completed. I arranged dinner in the balcony for us."

She held his hand and took him to the balcony. She decorated it with candles. She made him to sit on the chair and opened the dishes to serve him. Snehith was surprised seeing everything and felt happy with her love.

"Here are your favorite dishes. Have it."

"You too sit. Let's have it together."

Advaita sat in front of him. Both started having their dinner. Snehith kept his face as if he doesn't like the dishes.

"Did you prepare these dishes?" Snehith asked her.

"Is it not tasty? I am sorry. I took care to make them tasty. please wait for sometime. I will ask cook to prepare. But I don't know where it went wrong. I think I need to know more about your tastes," Advaita said with a pout making Snehith laugh out louder.

"Stop it, dear. Give me scope to talk. Why do you talk continuously?"

"What?"

"It's scrumptious. I love the taste of these dishes. Now you too have it."

"Really?" Advaita got excited.

"Yes."

Advaita smiled and both had their dinner. Advaita cleaned the table and kept the dishes in the kitchen. She came to the room. Snehith hugged her tightly and locked the door.

"Leave me," Advaita said.

"Your surprise for me is not yet completed," Snehith said, winking at Advaita.

"Surprise won't come easily."

Saying this Advaita escaped from his hold and ran away.

"Hey, wait."

Snehith tried to catch her. She switched off the light and then rose petals fell on Snehith.

"Chinni, where are you?"

"Find me."

Snehith closed his eyes and then he passed his hand towards right to catch her. He hugged her and switched on the light.

"See, I caught you," Snehith said, stroking her lips with his forefinger.

"How did you catch me even in the darkness?"

"My heart can feel your soothing presence near me."

He touched her forehead, cheeks and

lips which made Advaita shiver with shyness. He kissed her lips and then slowly lifted her in his arms to drop her on the bed.

"I love you."

"I love you too."

He kissed her forehead, cheeks, eyes, lips and neck. He then kissed her hands. He slowly took off her hangings and kissed her ears. He took off her chain and kissed her in the neck. He removed her bangles and kissed her hands. Advaita hugged him tightly blushing. He again touched her lips softly creating a new sensation in her. He switched off the light as destiny already brought light into their lives. He teased her for sometime by touching her and making her feel him. He also took care to notice her reaction as he doesn't want to hurt her in any way. Finally, Snehith made love to Advaita.

Next day, Snehith woke up and smiled seeing Advaita who slept hugging him. He remembered last nite and kissed her on the forehead. Advaita smiled.

"Are you already awake?"

"Yes, I am waiting for you to wake up," Advaita said.

"Wonderful morning, love," Snehith said kissing on her ear.

"Thank you. Lovely morning to you, my dear husband."

"Thank you, Advaita," Snehith said kissing her.

"Till now I have a doubt that whether you love me or not. I thought may be I forced you to marry me. But now I am really happy to know that you accepted me wholeheartedly. Your love and care for me are amazing for which I am craving for years. Don't leave me again ever. Promise me," Snehith said.

"I promise that I will never leave you."

Both got ready and having breakfast. Snehith parents arrived at that time. Snehith told her to go inside. Advaita got up to go but stopped listening Snehith's mom calling her.

"Aunty," Advaita said.

"Don't you even know how to behave with your in-laws. I just can't understand how my son loved a girl like you."

"I am sorry, aunty."

"So is this breakfast prepared by you?"

"Yes, aunty."

"Fine, serve us too."

Advaita was scared of her rudeness. Slowly she started serving her but because of tension it slipped and fallen on Geetha's sari.

"I.. I am...So..Sorry."

"How careless you are! You spoiled my sari."

Geetha raised her hand to slap her.

"Maa," Snehith shouted and Geetha dropped her hand.

"When you are careless about your own family, how can I expect you to be careful with your in-laws. I never saw a girl who is selfish and careless like you. You don't deserve my son. My son is a person who just know to love and you are such a girl who knows only to hurt everyone. You can neither be a good wife nor a gud daughter in law ever," Geetha said.

"Stop it, maa. It's enough. You are hurting her intentionally. She is not careless. I am sure she is a very good wife and daughter in law. If you keep your anger aside, you can see her true loving nature," Snehith said.

"You are shouting at your mom for your wife. Great! Now I understood how easily your wife has manipulated you."

"Mom, I am sorry for shouting at you. But please don't hate Advaita because of just one thing she did unknowingly in the past. Please try to understand and forgive her."

"I can't forgive her who almost killed my son. She cares only for her life but never thinks about others."

Advaita didn't understand what was that Geetha is talking about.

"Almost killed?? Wat happened to Snehith when I left?" Advaita asked Geetha.

"Advaita, go to our room," Snehith said seriously which shows he is hiding something.

"You are hiding something from me. Please tell me."

Snehith held her wrist tightly.

"I said go inside right now without uttering even a single word."

Advaita scared of his anger. His hold on her wrist is so tight making her scream in pain. Snehith immediately loosened his hold n dragged her towards the room. They came near the steps and stopped listening Geeta.

"Snehith met with an accident when he came to know that engagement was cancelled. He was in coma for 6 months. After that he went into depression. He used to see your photo all the time and talked to your photo as if you were with him. In other words, he became mad. He took treatment in US and then returned India. As soon as he returned from US, he searched for you throughout the nation and found you here finally."

Advaita eyes filled with tears. She fainted in Snehith's arms and he took her to room lifting her in his arms.

"Maa, you both please leave now. I don't want anything to happen to her. I request you," Snehith said.

Both left and Snehith sat near her keeping her head on his lap caressing her hairs. After sometime she came into conscious.

"Are you fine, Advaita?"

"I am sorry. I am really sorry. But I didn't know that you loved me that much in the past."

Snehith hugged her.

"It's ok, dear. I know that you didn't know anything about me at that time. You didn't hurt me wantedly. I love you forever. Now don't cry. Your tears hurt me the most."

He wiped her tears and kissed her on the forehead.

"I am doing everything to keep you happy. If you cry, all my efforts will go in vain. Don't cry and make me weak. I am sure very soon mom and dad will accept you as their daughter in law. I am there to convince them. But you shouldn't be weak. Be strong and don't let tears come out."

"I love u," Advaita said, hugging him.

"I love you too. I have an important meeting today. I will come within one hour. Till then don't cry. I don't want to leave you now but it's really important."

"It's s ok. You can go."

"Do one thing. You too get ready. Let's go to office together. I can't leave you alone. After the meeting, we can roam around the city or go for a long drive to refresh your mind," Snehith said.

"No, it's ok. You can go. I will take rest. Don't worry."

"Are you sure? If not I will cancel the meeting."

"I am sure. I am fine," Advaita said.

Snehith kissed her on the forehead and went to office.

Advaita cried as soon as he left.

"I don't deserve you, Snehith. How can you be so sweet? After going through so much just because of loving me, still you forgave me. How is it possible? You deserve better wife than me. I can't bear your forgiveness. I am sorry. I am leaving you one more time."

Advaita took her luggage and went off from home. Snehith returned after the meeting and searched for her. He saw a piece of paper near the pillow. He read it.

"Snehith,

I am sorry but still I don't love you. May be I can't love you forever. I tried but my heart didn't accept you. Forgive me if you can. I can't stay with you anymore. I am leaving. Don't search for me. Because even if you find me, I won't come back. Because I can't say I love you everytime without having such feelings for you. So it's better to marry the one who loves you. I kept a paper on the desk saying that I have no objection for your second marriage and signed it. So be happy with the one who loves you and forget me. Don't trouble me ever.

Good bye."

Snehith threw the paper aside and started his car searching for her. Advaita sat in a temple. Advaita remembered suddenly that she gave a promise to him that she would never leave Snehith anytime.

"I promised Snehith that I would never leave him. How could I forget that promise? No, if anything happens to him because of breaking the promise, I can't bear it. No, I can't do this. I will go back to him. But will he allow me to stay with him? I hope he will accept me. Even if he is angry with me, I will bear it. But first I should go to him. I am sorry, Snehith. I won't leave u."

Advaita immediately started from there and came to the road. She waited for an auto to go back. Snehith searching for Advaita and he saw her. He stopped the car near her and got down. His eyes are fiery. She didn't understand what to say.

"Sne....Snehith. I...I..."

"Get in without arguing on the road. Don't create a scene here," Snehith said.

He grabbed her hand and dragged her to the car. He threw her in the car and started immediately.

"I..I..am...so...Sor..sorry.."

"Don't talk anything until we reach home," Snehith said.

Advaita sensed the anger in his voice. He took her home and she followed him to the room.

"Snehith I really...."

"I am not ready to listen to anything you say. This time I am not going to forgive you. You will be punished for your mistake. I won't leave you easily."

"Punishment? What?"

"You will know soon. For now go and get fresh up. Bring me a cup of tea. I am getting severe headache because of your stupidity and unnecessary drama."

Advaita didn't understand whether he is joking or serious but his voice brought goosebumps to her because it shows anger. She silently did what he said.
