XXV. Love Sickness

Neetu's POV:

I was standing next to window and watching night sky...Laksh came and back hugged me...

Laksh: What are you doing beautiful?

Me: Laksh...(I shrieked) leave me...

Laksh: Oh sweetheart, can't you see how much I love you?

Me: Love..! Laksh, No one can see love. We can only feel it...The moment it happens we can feel it...I love every moment with you.

Laksh: (smirks) Oh...so when it started? I mean when you fell in love with me?

Me: (Blushing) when we went to hospital, that night, On Rishi's bike...

Laksh: and then?

Me: (smiling) In cinema theatre, even in the darkness I know you were watching me instead of movie but I didn't say anything because I was already in your love trap....and then in our marriage when we made our vows that's the moment I fell yet again madly in love with you.

Laksh: Then in...Coffee shop and when I sent you flowers...

Me: Yes!! Yes! That too Laksh!

Laksh (playing with my tresses): For me...It was in shopping mall when you were buying sari for your mom!

Me: Laksh! You were there?

Laksh: Yes! That's the moment I fell in love with you. Infact I love every moment with you."

I know It was all in the past...I know I am not that lucky anymore that I can see Laksh every day, say I love you to him, kiss him, cook his favourite food for him, but I still have the right to remember it right!

It's already a week from the day I mercilessly left Laksh in the airport. After breaking Laksh's heart again I departed to flight without turning back because I know if I turn back I can't leave him. When I reach Vizag.....Papa was already waiting for me in the airport as if he knew I was planning to escape to nowhere if he gave me a chance. He just hugged me tightly and took me back to home. He told me that mom was waiting for me at home.

Dad took me to mom's home. When I saw her after months smiling at me, I re-adjusted my channel eye glasses on my eyes so she can't notice the tears forming in my eyes. When she hugged me radiantly smiling I can't stop myself from saying "I hate you, Mom" and made my way to my room. While going upstairs, I heard mom saying to dad "Shekar, what happened to her? When she was in Ahmadabad, she seems to be lively, happy and enthusiastic over phone but now when she is back she appears to be the same old Neetu when she had break up with Laksh, in fact now she seems to be more weak and unhappy. If anyone can give me my old stupid and happy Neetu back..... I am ready to sacrifice our entire wealth to them".

Yes, now I really hate my mumma because she taught me how to be good, how to be generous and think about others before ourselves. If she didn't teach me that, now I would be really bad and be happy with Laksh or if she didn't teach me how to be a good wife when I was going to Shimla, then I would be a bad example of wife and then Laksh would hate me making our divorce easy for us. That's why I really hate my mom and I hate myself more than I hate my mom.

The very next day I shifted from my mom's to dad's place so she can't notice me crying anymore. Whenever I go out I see Ruby following me. I know Laksh would have ordered him...I really hope I have someone like Ruby so I can order to follow Laksh and report me if Laksh ate his breakfast, lunch and dinner on time. Whether he is feeling well or not, whether he misses me like hell or not, whether he moved on from me or not. It would be better if the person reports me at night too whether Laksh slept properly or not because Laksh have a habit of waking up in the middle of night sometimes. I used to sooth his back and made him sleep again. It would be better if the person report me every minute so I can take my very next breath calmly without worrying about Laksh.

I still continued going to hospital inspite of having sleepless nights. Mom and Dad always used to tell me that I am gifted. I didn't understand why then, but now I know why... because I am a doctor. Being a doctor is really gifted. Even when you are suffering with unexplainable pain you will still have the skill to treat others wounds and reduce their pain.

A new doctor joined in our hospital...Dr.Anu. She is in dad's team, Gynaecology. She congratulated me over upcoming Dad's felicitation by International medical association. When she saw me moody and dull all the time she advice me that If I have a problem I have to discuss with the person involved and solve it. It is easy to say but not so easy to follow...but still I followed her advice and apologized to mom. Mom being mom, she accepted my apology so easily making me guiltier for my behaviour.

Laksh's POV:

If you ask me to describe past week without her...Horrible! Worst! Disaster! Are the words that came out of my heart. She made me more habituated to her than I thought. I have an urge to shout on her countless times for leaving me but again I want her back as soon as possible. That's enough! I can't bear more torture she is putting on me..so I am back! And this time I am not going to leave her.

I messaged her last night that I am coming back but as usual no reply! But my loving brother who cares for me unlike her, came to receive me from the airport. I saw an invitation card in the car and ask Rishi about it.

Rishi: It's invitation card for Shekar uncle's felicitation. Bro....... Meenu told that Neetu SIL is very sad.

Me: oh!!!! So? Why are you saying me?

Rishi: Bro........ SIL will definitely come to her father's party. I know you are hurt but Neetu SIL is more hurt because she is struggling between you and mom.

Me: when is this party?

Rishi: tomorrow

Me: (sighs and asks in low voice) why is it not today?

Rishi: well.... this is not our party so you should wait. And........

Me: and? What? There is something else that Meenu informed about Neetu?

Rishi: hmm.... that...... Neetu SIL knows you would come to the party and decides to attend the party to.............

Me: to what? Complete your sentence

Rishi: To hide and take a peek at you secretly. She said this to Meenu and Meenu to me. I think you should be prepared to play hide and seek.

Me: (smiles) Let's see how much time can she hold herself hiding from me. It's going to be lots of fun tomorrow night.

Third Person POV:

Unlike her usual self...Neetu is really happy for two reasons. One, her father is being felicitated and awarded from the medical council and second she knows that Laksh will surely come there and she can get a chance to peek at him from distance...

Medical council invited doctors along with their families, medical students and some other well reputed people in the city.

During the felicitation everyone praised Shekar and asked about his inspiration for which Shekar replied "It is my father who is the reason I choose to become a doctor... he was really a great doctor and the other is my woman (Radhika) because when she was in pain (while giving birth to my child) I realized that gynaecology is not just a profession but it is the way I can help her reduce her pain she is going through and support her when the time came (when she delivered baby).so I want to dedicate this award to them" by hearing this everyone clapped for him

Radhika is surrounded by her friends and she is blushing and then Meenu comes

Meenu (shouts): Mumma!! What dad is saying... I didn't get it? What woman? What pain? (Radhika was too nervous)

One of her friends says: Nothing Meenu! Your father is just trying to say he loves your mom a lot.

Meenu: what? Dad didn't say I love you...did he said!!! I didn't hear it....

Another friend says: I think your mother heard it. Right Radhika!

Radhika's face was red due to shy and she leaves the place with excuse of searching Neetu............

Neetu notices Laksh at party and immediately hides. Laksh comes to the party with his family and searches everywhere for Neetu but she is found nowhere. Neetu is happy peeking at Laksh. Just then, host asks Shekar's family to join him on the stage for a moment. Neetu cannot avoid it so she goes to the stage. Laksh sees her and smiles to himself at how Neetu is trying hard not to look at him. She and Meenu come down from stage, Neetu hides again before Laksh caught her. Laksh tries hard to scan the whole room but Neetu is nowhere. Its dinner time, Laksh unintentionally puts some item with soya sauce which Neelima notices. Neelima is about to stop but Neetu comes there.

Neetu: (pulls his plate from his hand) Laksh you cannot eat this. It contains soya.

Laksh: (throws the plate down and pulls Neetu near) Why are you hiding from me? I came to just meet you and see you.

Neetu: Laksh leave me. What if Someone sees us like this?

Laksh: ohh let them see then there is no need to introduce you they will understand themselves.

Neetu: Laksh please let me go.

Laksh: fine (holds her hand tight and takes her forcefully out)

Fortunately no one notices this except Neelima. Neelima worries about Neetu since she knows that Laksh himself took her out forcefully in spite of Neetu's refusal. She tells Rishi to go find Laksh outside. Rishi comes and tells Neelima that Laksh took Neetu in a car and drove away. Radhika doesn't find Neetu and gets worried. She asks Meenu to check the whole hall. Meenu asks Rishi and Neelima if they found Neetu anywhere, Neelima tells her about Laksh taking her out. Meenu calls Neetu

Neetu phone rings....

Meenu: (Laksh attends neetu's phone) sis where are you? Mom is searching for you

Laksh: Meenu ...... your sister is with me do not worry and I'll call you later

Meenu: but........ why did you....????????

Laksh : because I miss her . I miss her so much. I need to talk to her. (and cuts the call)

Neelima is worried for Neetu as Laksh is in bad mood. She tells Ravinder everything and asks him to talk to Laksh. Ravinder says tauntingly "that girl(Neetu) should understand my son feelings, She rejected my son then why should I worry about her?". Tears flow out of Neelima's eyes. She feels guilty for Ravinder answer and understands that restricting Neetu is no use when Laksh continues to pursue her and she feels Ravinder is really selfish not understanding what Neetu is going through, encouraging Laksh in his act.

On the other side Neetu does not utter a word. Finally she opens her mouth and tells him that she missed him too. Laksh tells her that he would never leave her ever. He confesses her that Sia didn't file the divorce agreement in court and instead return back to him as belated birthday gift. Laksh informs her that he is going to confess their marriage truth to everyone and gives her a week time to mentally prepare for that. Shekar calls Laksh and tells him to drop Neetu at home early before they return home. Laksh drops Neetu home after telling her everything he wants to say.

When Neelima reached home...Laksh is already there and so she comes to a conclusion that Laksh might have dropped Neetu home back safely.

She rushes to her room and starts to shout on Ravinder "How can you not bother about Neetu when Laksh has taken her forcibly from the party, he is our son. You should scold him for his deed and make him apologize to Neetu, but at party you sounded like you are clearly supporting Laksh's rude behaviour?" and then Ravinder make her sit on the bed and then say "Neelima, why are you worrying about Neetu? she rejected our Laksh...so now she is not at all part of our family....then why should I pity her infact, I pity Laksh as he is suffering from love sickness due to that girl"

Neelima thinks that it is her fault and now everyone is pointing their fingers on Neetu who is completely innocent.

Ravinder goes to Laksh's room:

Ravinder: Laksh!! Why did you drag Neetu out with you from the party?

Laksh: sorry uncle I already apologised her too.

Ravinder: I am sure you did!! Your aunt is very upset with you, she worries about Neetu.

Laksh: What? Why she is worrying about Neetu?

Ravinder (with smile): because she really loves her as her own daughter and I am sure within few days she is going to accept Neetu back. I think her heart will melt completely for Neetu...and then....

Laksh: and then?

Ravinder: we all will get you married with Neetu again...

Laksh: AGAIN...but why?

Ravinder (with smile): what else you expect Laksh? Please don't expect that me and Shekar are going to share your wedding truth with Radhika and Neelima. If I did so, Neelima will never talk to me (for taunting and making a fool of her) and Radhika will chop Shekar into small pieces....so once Neelima accepts Neetu then you have to marry Neetu again in front of everyone like it is you first marriage and it's the only way you can save me and Shekar.Till then be in good looks of Radhika! Don't drag Neetu like that again!!

Laksh: But uncle...we already married trice (Including wedding shoot)

Ravinder: Come on Man! Don't cry like you are going to bear all the expenses. It will be me or Shekar. spending loads of money on your wedding again is better than being scolded by your Aunt.

Laksh (smiles): As your wish uncle.
