Chapter 41

In the evening Aarti was in the kitchen when she got Gayatri video call. While talking Gayatri noticed how happy Aarti looked today.

"I'm making Yash's fav food" Aarti happily showed her the dishes she made. Gayatri realised why Aarti used to look upset when she stayed with her, because she was missing Yash.

"Your husband is your real happiness, I hope you ask forgiveness from Yash." Gayatri told. Aarti nodded weakly.

Meanwhile Yash returns to the farmhouse only to see Aarti decorating the dinner table with all sorts of dishes.

"Aap aagye" Aarti face lit to see him back. He didn't replied and left to his room.

"Must be tired" She continued to keep the fork and spoons properly. Meanwhile Yash came out, Aarti served him food. Yash noticed everything is his favorite dishes.

"Did you like it?" She asked, serving herself when he tasted chhole. He just nods. Aarti smiled because she didn't expect him to praise her cooking skills. They began to have their food in silence.

"Yash, I need a help." She breaks the uncomfortable silence.

"Um" He didn't raise his gaze from his plate.

"I want to work again, so could you bring me my resume from the Scindia mansion?" She asked while playing with her food. He lifted head and gazed at her for a few seconds and nodded yes.

"Thanks, I won't trouble you much by staying here, promise I'll leave when I get a job." She smiled. Soon Yash finished his food and called the servant.

"I gave everyone a day off," Aarti said. He picked his plate and was going to the kitchen but she stopped him.

"I'll do it." She tried to take the plate from his hand.

"I don't need you." He snapped her hand and the plate fell from his hand only to break into pieces. Aarti was startled.

"Stop pretending to be my wife" He looked into her wet eyes.

"I was just…" Her voice cracked.

"You will leave me soon" He held her shoulders. She can see the pain in his angry eyes.

"Am i right?" He pulled her close. A glass piece hurt her foot. He looked down as she cried in pain. He quickly picked her up and took her to the couch. She tightly held his arm as he took out the glass piece from her foot. She hid her face in the crock of his neck, crying.

"Stop crying now." He cleaned her face, deeply kissed her forehead. She glanced at his eyes, the concern in them is the same even today. Yash noticed her soft gaze and removed his hands from her face and left to get the first aid kit. Soon he dressed her wound.

"Don't move from here, I'll do everything" He warned her strictly, and went to clean the table. She sat there looking at him as he was picking the broken pieces of plate, then picked all the utensils. Meanwhile he came out of the kitchen.

"Chalo" He carefully picked her in his arms. She lays her head on his shoulder as he holds her dearly close to his chest. How much she missed him, his love and care, only now she realised. She inhales his strong fragrance, rubbing her nose on his neck. He tried hard to not look at her even though he felt all her movements and gaze that was stuck on his face. He robotically comes upstairs, she opens the door to their room because of course his both hands are holding her. His gaze shifted to her face then quickly looked ahead, as he walked inside only to drop her on bed. She tightened her hooked hand around his shoulders. He glanced at her eyes, she surprised him by kissing his lips, he froze with the feel on her lips after so many days, he pulled away quickly.

"What are you doing?" He glared at her standing a little away from her bed. She looked down at her feet, her eyes were moist. He saw those tears roll down her cheeks.

"Rona band karo" He hissed, she looked up at him.

"I missed you" She choked. He doesn't want to come in her trap again but her tears are his weakness, he just can't stand there watching her.

"Toh main kya karun?" He snapped, and she began to sob.

"It's all your fault, do you understand?" He shouted helplessly. She continues to cry because she knows she deserves all his anger.

"Sab tumhari galti hai" He was shaking with rage.

"Do you regret it now? Do you have any shame" He came near her only to run a rough hand in her open hair, and holding into his fist he pulled them back to make her face him. She closed her eyes, out of guilt for hiding the truth from him.

"Open your damn eyes, and look at me." He demanded, leaning on her face still standing out of her bed. She did only to see just hatred for her in his brown eyes.

"Believe me i can never think about anybody else" She unknowingly tried to clear his mind. His eyes suddenly softened, he can feel the sincerity in her words.

"Nahi hai mujhe tum pe vishvas." He removed his hand from her hair, thinking that she was just seeking comfort in him. She sighs knowing he won't believe her.

"You're a cheater!" He growled and stormed out of the room.

***********

Meanwhile Aarti was sitting in her room getting bored because she can't walk with that bandage on her feet. She still came to the balcony and stood there holding a fence, she found a figure in the swimming pool. He furiously swam from one end to another. She gripped more to realise he is angry, because she never saw Yash swimming this way, he seems to fight the water. He came out of the pool, she could feel the coldness from this far, water dripping from his body, she froze as his gaze met hers. He doesn't try to look away, nor does she break the eye lock. Suddenly her phone rings which makes her look away. She turned to walk inside the room but not before glancing at him again but he was no longer there.

*******

Next morning Yash gets a call from Radha who told him about Dadi maa's bad health. He was worriedly leaving the farmhouse but Aarti stopped him. He told her about dadi, Aarti also asked him to take her.

"No, don't bother yourself" He responded.

"Please Yash, main unse milna chahti hun" She requested. He gave up thinking a little.

********

At the Scindia mansion, the watchman was surprised and happy to see AarYa together after so long. Aarti emotionally held Yash hand when she stepped inside, he glanced at her only to find her eyes moist. Suraj and Radha who was in Dadi room can't believe their eyes when Yash enters with Aarti.

"Dadi" Yash sat near her. Her old eyes were wet with a hope that maybe he is back to his home that too with his wife.

"Now I don't need any medicine" She lovingly caressed Yash's face then Aarti's head who bent to take her blessing. Yash looked at her then Aarti in a dilemma, because he knew the reality, nothing sort of going to happen what his Dadi assumed, he and Aarti never going to reunite.

Meanwhile they both walked out behind Suraj and Radha, who looked so happy right now.

"Nakul makes everything Aarti's favourite food" Radha ordered a cook.

"I'm really happy for you" Suraj hugged Yash. It was clear for AarYa what they're expecting. Yash opens his mouth to tell them the truth but Aarti gestures to him to not. He sighed in anger.

Soon they all sat for breakfast. Aarti holds Yash's hand under the table.

"We can do this for our family" She spoke in a low voice so only he could hear.

"My family" He corrected her, snapping her hand away. She sighed sadly. Radha noticed them talking and signed Suraj to see them, they both smiled unaware of reality. Yash noticed their gaze and smiled a little.

********

Meanwhile Yash gets a call from the office, his secretary reminds him about a meeting.

Dadi asked him to go as she is fine now. Her happiness is clear from her voice as she glanced at Aarti sitting near her.

"Haan, aap jaiye hum hain Dadi maa ke saath" Aarti gets up and comes near Yash.

"Hmm" He nods, and looks down at their hands, as her fingers touch his. Aarti also noticed and stepped back with a little blush on her cheeks. Dadi smiled to see a shy Aarti. Yash walked out with mixed emotions in his heart, he can feel she is genuinely concerned about Dadi but this little play is going to hurt Dadi later.
