Chapter 44

Chapter 44

AarYa reached Aarti's uncle home, his daughter was happy to see Aarti and Yash. Meanwhile Gayatri also came there, and she was surprised to see Yash soft look towards Aarti.

"Yash ne mujhe maaf kar diya." Aarti told her. Gayatri was really happy for her daughter.

After the mehendi ceremony Aarti sat with all the ladies. One of the woman asked Gayatri if her daughter is pregnant because it is almost one year to her marriage with Yash.

"Koi complication hai kya?" A lady looked at Aarti.

"Arre shubh shubh bolo, meri beti ko koi complication nahi hai." Gayatri was offended. Aarti was sadly playing with her gold bangles. She hates these kinda women who keep on finding fault in other women.

"Aur rahi baat shaadi ko ek saal hone ki then let me tell you that I was born 5 years after my maa bauji marriage." Gayatri continued looking at Aarti sad face. This shut these ladies mouth.

"Let go, aren't you getting late, Yash might be waiting for you." Gayatri told Aarti. She nodded and walked out of the room after saying a goodbye to her mama ji and his daughter. In the whole way back to their home Aarti was silent, Yash noticed her dull mood.

"Kya hua?" He smoothed her hair.

"Ji kuch nahi" She smiled weakly. He wasn't convinced.

"Mujhe nahi bataogi?" He asked as their car entered Scindia mansion.

"Trust me, I'm fine." She looked at him before opening the door. He got out of the car staring at Aarti who walked inside the mansion.

Meanwhile Aarti was taking off her jewellery. Yash was on the balcony looking at her who was staring at a place blankly. She left for the bathroom.

"Aarti" He called her name when she stepped out changing into a nightie.

"Ji" She looked at him.

"Idhar aao." He told her. She came to the balcony, he kept his phone on a chair and held her arms. She holds the fence as he comes closer to her.

"Kuch toh baat hai, ceremony mein kisine kuch galat kaha tumse?" He asked. She looked at him for a moment before nodding no.

" Then I'll ask Gayatri aunty ji." He turned away to pick his phone. It shocked Aarti.

"No" She quickly held his hand. He lifted an eyebrow in amusement.

"I mean it's too late, why do you want to disturb her?" She fumbled. Yash glanced at the clock and nodded.

"Toh tum hi mujhe batado." He again come near her.

"I told you nothing happened." She lies.

"Till you don't tell me I won't let you sleep." He was stubborn.

"What?" She looked at him with her wide eyes.

"Haan, after all I have a beautiful wife," He glanced at her pink lips.

"Yash" She blushed, pushing him lovingly.

"Yes, tonight I want you to moan my name." he grabbed her waist only to claim her lips, she responded slowly. She loves it when he is in the mood. He opened her nightie knot and pulled off her overcoat. He ripped his mouth because she was out of breath. She tilted head as he kissed her shoulder blades, she had no idea when he took her to the room. Soon she was moaning under him. He entwined their fingers sinking into her deeper. She arching her back, this moment felt like a dream for her. He looked at her face, the extreme pleasure is clearly visible, he felt so satisfied and again leaning into her long neck only bit her on earlobe, then trailed kisses on her collarbone and lick her pink nipp**.

"Yash…" She fisted his hair pulling him closer, he took the softness into his warm mouth giving her all the more pleasure she needed. Meanwhile Aarti was sleeping peacefully in his arms, Yash was just wondering why she was upset when she was very happy after meeting her uncle and sister.

"Kya hua hoga wahan?" He smoothed her long and dark black hair.

"I hope you'll tell me in the morning." He dearly stroked her forehead.

*********

Next day Yash left early for the office. It took him the whole day to finish meetings.

"Yash, where are you?" Aarti called him. He moved the chair away from table hearing her cute voice.

"I'm missing you" she frowned.

"Me too baby" he smiled as he could imagine her adorable face.

"Jhuth mat boliye, ek baar bhi phone nahi kiya aapne." She whined. He laughed.

"I swear I didn't get time, otherwise I would have called you. Okay tell me where you want to go shopping? Mall or showroom?" Yash tried to pacify her.

"Showrooms are romantic." She blushed while remembering last time Yash took full advantage of the room where she was trying outfits.

"Haan so toh hai." He chuckled, his wife is easily distracted.

********

Next day was Sunday so Aarti was scrolling through her ig feed and saw a breathtaking reel of all the famous Hindu temples.

"Yash see this" She excitedly sat on the couch where he was working on his laptop. Yash automatically comes near her to see her excitement and they both watched it countless times.

"I can't take my eyes off this," Yash was almost lost in the divine views.

"Same here" She smiled.

"We will visit all these temples." He promised her.

"Sach?" She gets happy. Yash gets a call.

"Excuse me." He leaves the room. Aarti kept staring at the door.

"I want to go with Yash to mahakaal, ayodhya, Kashi Vishwanath, vaishno devi. But not by lying, what will happen when he finds out that I'm incomplete? Perhaps I committed some sin, usi paap ki saza mili hai ke main maa nahi bann sakti." She cried alone on her destiny. Yash stood rooted at the door. Aarti's eyes fell on him.

"Itna paraya kab hogya main?" He doesn't care to hide the tears which just roll down his cheek.

"Do I have no right to know?" His voice cracked. She looked down feeling guilty at this moment.

"That's why you distanced yourself from me?" Now it makes sense to him why her behaviour suddenly changed. Aarti was so afraid of his rejection that she didn't even nod her head nor move an inch from her place.

"How could you hide it from me?" He tried to shout but it came out like a weak cry. To see him broken she comes near him and holds his shoulders realising it's not the time for her to become weak.

"Main mar jaati agar aap mujhse ankhein fer lete." She told what she feared.

"Bas itna hi samajh payi ho tum mujhe? Tell me, do you even trust me, leave alone understanding me?" He snapped her hands. She no longer can meet his eyes. He lifted her chin. She cried silently, still not meeting his eyes, knowing she was wrong to keep everything to herself and deciding on his behalf.

"These days were hell without you." He crushed her in his arms. She held him to her dear life.

"I didn't trust you, I told you many hurtful things." He suddenly pulled away.

"You should never forgive." He was angry at himself.

"Yash, listen to me." She touched his face.

"How could I think what all I thought of you?" He removed her hand.

"Listen to me carefully, I was at fault for taking decisions on your behalf and also for running away from you. Even after that I never shared my worries with you, it was me who should be ashamed for not trusting you." She cupped his face. He nods no.

"Yes, I don't know how I thought that you would reject me, if you can forgive me for my foolish behaviour then you just reacted to my own created misunderstanding." She wiped his tears.

"I'm sorry." He pulled her in his arms. She smiled with her moist eyes as she strokes his back.
