Suhan...

The only person I hate on this planet...

He swirled me back by my shoulder and holding her wrist he dragged her with him

And I stood still like a cold monument

It happened within a fraction of seconds and I couldn't react to anything..

With the frozen state, I kept looking in the direction

She didn't even glance back at me...

She just left...

She ignored me...

I was hurt...

Rubbing my eyes I cleared the moisture over there

And the next second my blood boiled at a high temperature

Flashing the stupid hole on his cheek he was talking something to her and the blood in my veins began running at a super-fast speed and fingers closed into a tight fist making the audible bone-cracking sound

The next second I picked up the juice glass and walked to him like an angry lion and was about to splash the juice right on his not so handsome face

But...

She lifted her eyelashes and her dazzling eyeballs met my raging ones and that very moment my legs halted in its path and my hand was slid down
unconsciously

Only this woman has the power to tame my anger

While she was standing still with cold face yet heated eyes I took a deep breath and pointing my finger I roared at him

"Stay away from Her"

My jaws were clenched tight and the blood rushing at a heavy speed that I could feel my eyes turned red

And the next thing she did make my anger reach the highest notch

Looking straight into my eyes with the same cold face she outstretched her hand towards his wrist...

Just when her fingers were about to brush his wrist I told a strong hold of her wrist and in one swift motion I pulled her into me...

She crashed into my chest and was breathing on my face...

The feel of her soft touch after a long gap of 4+ days was such a heaven

I leaned forward and rested my forehead against her...

Our noses touched while her hot breath fanned my lips...

Closing my eyes I inhaled her breath more and more and filled each nook of my lungs with her scent...

Breathing her back I felt alive...

My breathing went ecstatic..

My sanity was back to me...

I felt many more beautiful sensations that I could ever describe...

While I was feeling the erotic beats of her heart through her chest I felt her hands on my chest and moving a step back

Instantly my hands circled her waist and pulled her back....this time even more closer and her lands landed on my shoulder again

I couldn't speak anything...

Every ounce of me was dying to feel her peaceful presence around me...

Our hearts were beating in a ragged  rhythm while breaths were meddling with a sensual sync

This is what I wanted...

For every moment...for everyday

Forever❤

I lived the blissful moment but was not at all satisfied with its duration

I wanted more and more of it...

But then I felt a strong pair of hands separating me from her...

Separating me from my life...

A deep pang hit me internally...

And before I could open my eyes and analyse what's happening she was walking away from me...

I lost the warmth...

My body went totally numb...

I was dead...

Why did she leave???

"This is what you wanted na Aaloo" I felt a hand around my shoulder

"Abu...she...she...lea

"Because you wanted her to leave" he didn't let me complete

"As always everything is going according to your wish" saying he dragged me to the table

I started getting restless...

I wanted to be with her but Abu and Aaru were stuck to me more than a strong fevicol...

Urgghh..Enough of this babysitting

My eyes began searching for her and suddenly the lights went off and someone announced "Couples please join the dance floor"

The music started and many of the couples soon graced the dance floor...

As my eyes were roaming at every corner of the venue I saw that cartoon again...

And when my gaze shifted a little back to him instantly the chair behind me was pushed down and clenching my fist I marched towards him like an angry bull for the second time...

My hand was in the air all ready to slap him and make him collapse hard on the ground but it halted when she took a step forward and stood between us...

She didn't speak a single word

Her eyes were communicating more than her lips..

My lips parted to warn Mr Dimple but Aaru came in between and spoke

"Bhai...He is Dr Suhan...He'll be helping us in the hospital set up"

Extending his hand he said "Hello Officer...Ohh sorry...You run a Construction firm right??...Hello Mr Arjun..nice to meet you"

Acting smart han Mr Cartoon...

I met my hand with his and pressed his palm with full force I  smirked at him "Same here"

His small hiss gave me a big satisfaction

Taking a step ahead I circled my arm around her and announced possessively "And meet MY WIFE...Mrs. Arjun" and she was not responsive

But more than her reaction my whole focus was on Mr Stupid hole

He chuckled at my words "I know...but for me, she will always be my Sona"

The word MY broke my blood veins and the next minute his throat was in in my hands and his body was pressed to the wall and I shouted on his face

"She is MINE...only MINE...did you get that Cartoon"

I was burning in an extreme fire while her cold behaviour was adding fuel to erupt a huge volcano within me

Soon Aaru pulled me back from him and mumbled a sorry to him while I held her wrist and dragged her to the dance floor

Passing a deadly glare to that Darpok I took her hands and locked them back at my neck and snaked my arms around her waist as a sign of my possession and pulled her close to me

I moved my gaze at her and she continued her silence...

Why wasn't she speaking anything??

I did wrong and even now I am doing the same...

Why wasn't she questioning me about anything??

I felt her hands loosening at my neck and instantly in an extreme hoarse tone "Please don't" escaped my mouth and unknowingly my eyes got shut and a lone tear rolled out  

Next, I felt her hands tightening back to my neck and her cheek being brushed against mine as if she wiped off the tear and that's when I opened my eyes and captured her angelic face

Wearing a blue saree...hair left open to dance on her curvy waist...the nuptial chain of my name adorning her slender neck my woman looked the epitome of beauty

Just by looking at her, I am at extreme peace...

Drowning in each other's eyes we kept swaying to the music...

The lyrics of the song expressed my feelings while my eyes were speaking my pain

Hum tere bin ab reh nahi sakte
Tere bina kya wajood mera

Tujh se juda gar ho jaayenge
To khud se hi ho jaayenge juda
Kyun ki Tum hi ho, ab tum hi ho
Ki zindagi ab tum hi ho
Chain bhi, mera dard bhi
Meri aashiqui ab tum hi ho

Tera mera rishta hai kaisa
Ek pal door gawara nahi
Tere liye har roz hain jeete
Tujhko diya mera waqt sabhi
Koi lamha mera na ho tere bina
Har saans pe naam tera
Kyun ki tum hi ho, ab tum hi ho
Zindagi ab tum hi ho
Chain bhi, mera dard bhi
Meri aashiqui ab tum hi ho

Though her angelic eyes are giving me immense strength her silence was killing me...

With those bewitching orbs she was peeking right into my soul and I couldn't hold myself...I lowered my head to her neck and buried my face into her crook and closing my eyes I absorbed all her warmth and filled every ounce of me with her

Tere liye hi jiyaa main
Khud ko jo yoon de diya hai
Teri wafaa ne mujhko sambhala
Saare gamon ko dil se nikaala
Tere sath mera hai naseeb judaa
Tujhe paa ke adhoora na raha

With the last line my lips made a contact with the flesh on her neck and left a soft kiss there

In her embrace I breathed my life back❤

Kyun ki tum hi ho, ab tum hi ho
Zindagi ab tum hi ho
Chain bhi, mera dard bhi
Meri aashiqui ab tum hi ho

Kyun ki tum hi ho, ab tum hi ho
Zindagi ab tum hi ho
Chain bhi, mera dard bhi
Meri aashiqui ab tum hi ho

I don't know for how long we kept swaying in the same position

Being in her arms was the only piece of heaven on this earth...

That moment was peace yet painful

After a while I heard Aaru "Bhai...It's time to leave"

I couldn't take his statement and shut my eyes tight and squeezing her body I engulfed myself more into her

I thought she would get our code language and hold me like always but she did something else...

She took her hands off my neck and said "LEAVE ME"

I heard her voice after a long gap but it sounded as worst as anything

For the first time I hated to hear her voice

"No...Never...you are not going anywhere" I literally crushed her body as my tears wetted her neck

Using all her strength she began moving out of me and I was clasping more not letting her go...

"Champ...what if anything happens to her just like your Maa" a series of words  hit my ear drums and my body went numb and unwillingly my hold on her was loosened

And next all I know was...Suhan took her out of the place and I was slumped to the ground

I was mechanically dead for the second time

I felt a strong hold on my collar and was dragged out to the garden area and a hard slap landed on my cheek

"Is she a joke to you champ??

It was you who asked her to leave..

And now you don't want her to leave..

What's your problem??

She is a human champ...a piece of flesh and blood not your favourite seasonal fruit...

Just an hour back you wanted her to be with you....

Even just a few seconds you were not ready to leave her....but now within a fraction of seconds, you let her go...

Why????

Just because of a damn few words...

Have you lost your senses??"

He removed his specks...rubbed his eyelids with thumb and middle finger and again glaring at me he added

"It's clear...

You are not ready to fight...

Rather you don't want to fight...

And I can't spoil an innocent girl's life

Divorce her"

Hearing those heartbreaking words my legs trembled and Aaru came to hold me but Baba showed his hand to him...

"No one is going to help him...let him fight his own battle"

And back faced me while Aaru took a step back and I supported myself while Baba announced in a high pitch

"Divorce her and let her go FOREVER"

My legs finally lost strength and I was slumped on my knees... My body began sweating heavily while my heart speeded up its pace at a strong rate

"No...No...I...I won't do that" shooking my head in a no I answered back

"You have to do it Arjun" Baba roared again in the same high pitch

I managed to support myself and straightened on my legs "No...I won't let her go"

Taking long strides Baba stood right in front of me and crossed his hands against his chest

"Fine...now you won't let her go...but then again when you drown yourself in your nonsensical beliefs...without a single thought you will let her go...hai na??"

No wonder why...not even a single word came out of my throat and my gaze was lowered

With a sudden jerk holding my face roughly between his palms Baba held up my head  "Answer me champ"

His eyes were fuming

There was absolute silence for a few words 

And a string of words came out in my extreme cracky voice

"Ba...Baba...I...I...nn...nee...need her"

Fresh tears flooded out my heart while I noticed Baba's fuming eyes getting moistened too...

He looked sideways to blink back his tears and let out a breath and then again his soft moistened eyes were shifted back on me

While my face was in between his palms lowering a bit he rested his forehead against mine and I fisted his shirt at his waist

It longed a brief period of time

His warmth was easing my pain

The moment was giving me some kind of unknown strength to fight my battle

As I was consuming the much-required strength through the moment yet another heartbreaking statement hit my ears

"Sona met with an accident"

And when I looked in the direction of the voice...

It was Suhan...

The very next second I grabbed his collar and swirled him around and pressed him tightly to the tree

"Where is my Sona??

She left with you Suhan...

If you are here then where the hell is she??"

With every question, I pushed him more into the tree

"She took my car keys and left...and she met with an acci

"Sona cannot drive perfectly Suhan...

How can you leave her alone??"

"I was not knowing about her driving"

My hands left his collar and took a hold of my head between my palms

"Champ...listen to me"

I saw coming towards me

"Sona cannot drive Baba...

She can't....

I did a mistake...

I shouldn't have left her alone...

I shouldn't have left her alone with Suhan...

I did a mistake...a huge mistake"

Again his collar was clutched in my hands

"If anything happens to her...I will kill you Suhan"

Now his neck was in my hold...

Abu and Aaru pulled me back and pushed me to the nearby bench but I wasn't under control...I barged towards him again but Baba held my upper torso strongly and turned me to him

I tried getting out of his hold

"Leave me Baba...This bloody cartoon hurt my Sona...I'll kill him...

She got hurt...only because of him...

I shouldn't have left her with him...

Just within minutes of going away from me she got hurt...only because of him...

He failed to protect her...

I shouldn't have left her...

You know Baba...

She was with me for more than 10 months but nothing happened to her...not even a single scratch on her body...I protected her like a precious glass doll...

She was that much safe with me

And even on the day before my birthday, she got that cut on her back only because I was not there with her...if I would have been there with her na Baba...she wouldn't have got that cut...I would have protected her as I always do...

She would have never got hurt on that day...

Just because of my absence she got hurt...

And later when she got fever I was there with her all the time and she recovered within half a day...

Because in my presence she is always safe...

I don't even allow a mosquito to touch her....

I protect her like a newborn baby...

And see na Baba...even today from the morning she was with me...she was safe and sound...and now when she is away from me immediately she got hurt....

Just because I was not there with her

Why the hell did I let her go...

I promised her that no matter what I'll protect her from everything

And to protect her I should be her na Baba...

But I let her go and broke my promise...

I never break my promise Baba...

I'll never let anything happen to her...

To protect her is to be with her...

I'll always be with her...

No matter what I'll never let her go away from me...

Because

She is always safe with me Baba

And nothing happens to her when she is with me...

Nothing...Nothing happens to her...when she is with me...

Leave me Baba I need to go...I need to protect her...my Sona needs me

I'll go to her and she'll be fine...

Leave me Baba"

While I was struggling hard to get out of his hold Baba was staring at me with a thin smile on his lips

I got confused at his smile...

And next moment he pulled me into a tight hug "Yes champ...nothing happens to her when she is with you"

And I froze...

Just then I realised the depth of words that I flooded out in one go

I was still in my own trance and I heard Suhan

"She is safe Arjun...she didn't meet with any accident...because you will never let anything happen to your wife"

And I buried my head into Baba's shoulder and wept like a baby...

"You won champ...you won the battle with your inner demons"

I cried and cried over my victory...

Finally my battle came to an end...

The inner battle that I was fighting for many years was beaten by me

Where once I was being the villain of my own story...

Today I shined up as a hero

We backed off... Baba wiped my tears and cupping my face he left a loving soft kiss on my forehead

"Your life is waiting for you right at the place where you left her years back"

I nodded smiling like a maniac  while Aaru threw the car keys towards me saying "Go Aladdin get your Jasmine"

And in no time I began my journey towards my destination...

My Jasmine❤

My Jaana❤
