2 Months later :
Shilpa's Pov :
Life is a real roller coaster. Up and downs hit everyone's life. This is what i had been advising myself from some days. Everyone dream of having a perfect life. I had that. A loving husband and a beautiful family. Armaan Mallik is the most perfect husband anyone could have. But still no one is perfect. So can i expect him to be perfect every moment.
No.
Still my heart complaints. My mind isint calm. Several things have changed since two months. The Armaan i see , is he the same guy i fell in love. Is it only me noticing the sudden change in him.Or was my insecurities coming out. I wish Armaan could answer my concerns.
But then for that he needs to talk to me.
Yes. Thats exactly what have been happening all these days. I hardly remember the day i had a decent conversation with my husband. Or rather i say a decent meal. I miss everything about him. His teases , his comments, his arrogant behavior. Everything which used to drive me crazy whenever i met his eyes. What was changing between us. I couldnt understand. But then i was required to stay calm and quiet. He is probably trying to deal with the sudden increase of responsibilities on his shoulder. But then in this struggle will he be able to give time for me ?
I sound foreign to my ownself. Maybe i need to see the bright side of this. Maybe i need to acknowledge he still does have the care for me. But how could this be possible when every single night i wait for him to be back from office and..
Armaan : I am retiring back to bed
Shilpa : But ur dinner..
Armaan : I already took mine . Thanks
Such events really started worrying me. Did he even once bother asking whether i took my food. Does he even notice how long i wait for him every single night to comeback. Do he even notice how much i miss Armaan Mallik. I didint have answer of any question. I just keep wondering to myself on what is going so wrong between us.
Between all these tension there was one night to be remembered. I almost saw back the old Armaan. The same passion, the same smile which he used to have every single night.
That Night ...
Her heartbeat rose as she stared at his cabin door nervously. She glanced down at her watch. 11 Pm. Surely no patients or duty will be on his way. With a deep breath Shilpa opens the door slowly and peeks inside. Armaan set their staring down at his file studying it. He didint bother to glance up. But then what was new about his change of behavior. Keeping in mind her plans she closed the door and locked it. This caught his attention. He glanced up , his eyes grew wide as he stared at her in surprise.. " What are you doing here.. "
Shilpa almost smiled. She felt the confidence return in her knowing maybe her plan was going to work. She clasped her jacket close and realized him staring down at it..
"I wanted to see you doctor.. "
Her sultry deep voice made him nervous. She could see the struggle on his face as he tried to take off his eyes from her seductive form.With a light chuckle she took a seat infront of him as he dragged his eyes back to his file. Leaning back she crossed her legs only to feel his eyes returning back on them..
"Dont you think you should be back home.. " He spoke carefully trying to keep his voice strong but she felt it straining. With a teasing smile she leaned towards him as he swallowed.. "Come on Doctor dont be a spoil the fun.. "
He grunted and glanced at her in dissatisfaction which made her upset.. "Fun is the last thing in my mind right now.. Shilpa i really need to.. "
His voice trailed off as she got up from the seat staring right in his eyes. Swaying her hips seductively she came infront of him , and then surprised him by sitting on his lap. He gasped and glanced around nervous.. "Shilpa this is not time.. "
When was the time ever.. She wanted to stay loud but then changed her mind. Bringing back the naughty look on her face she traced his neck as he stared at her blankly.. " Really doctor. I need your help badly.. I am.. Very sick.. "
She spoke the words huskily while nibbling his neck with her soft lips.. She glanced in his eyes and grinned noticing that he was now in her trance..
"What happened to you.. " He whispered back staring right through her making her shiver..
" I was wondering if you could treat me doctor.." She spoke breathlessly as she pulled her down her neck , which he followed obediently. Showering light kisses on his neck he pulled back with a teasing smile, the smile she had missed.
"You havent still told what the disease is.. "
With a seductive smile she undid the first button.. " Why dont you check. " Next came the second " For yourself.. " And the next " And see my problem "
And then...
"Damn " He muttered getting up from his seat straitening his clothes.. His glanced down his pager and rubbed his neck tiredly..
Shilpa bit her lip feeling awkward and started to button back her jacket. She tried to speak when he turned with a grim face.. " I guess you should be going back home now. Dont wait for me i will be late "
Several days had passed since the event but Shilpa found it hard ignoring the way he was treating her. She knew he had problems coming in his life. But why wasnt he sharing his trouble with her. What was her importance in his life now. The thought made her cringe inside. Maybe Armaan mallik needed his own dose. With a foul mood she walked out of the locker room heading for duty.
"Is it only me or do you guys also feel Armaan and Shilpa is having some trouble " Anjali spoke worriedly as they met in the in the locker room at the end of the day.
"I dont know. What makes you think so Anjali " Muskaan spoke sitting in the bench..
Atul kept thinking silently as Rahul replied.. " I guess its just trustees problem effecting them."
Atul sighed and shook his head.. " But i think more than Armaan I feel Shilpa is tensed. She looks pale nowadays, i guess too much worrying.. "
Everyone agreed as Anjali spoke.. " I know that. I see the trouble eyes every time. Why do i feel there is a sudden change in behavior of Armaan "
" Hey guys ! " The gang brought a end to their talk as Shilpa walked inside quietly..
" Hey Shilpa are you fine.. ? " Atul spoke moving beside her with a worried look..
Shilpa hesitated a smile.. " Why.. Whats wrong with me.. ? "
" You really look worried. Come on Tell us.. " Muskaan chided in putting a hand on her shoulder..
Shilpa was touched by their gesture but then this was a matter she had to solve herself. " I am fine guys. Just the work is getting on me.. "
Anjali studied her silently and preferred staying silent. But a smile formed on her lips as Armaan walked in.. "And maybe workload is getting on this man too "
Everyone smiled at him instead of Shilpa who glanced away grimly.
Armaan gave a nod passing a tired smile. Instead of heading to his locker he went beside her. Shilpa felt her heartbeat rise feeling him close again. She mentally scolded herself and tried to keep a cold posture. But then she knew how much she had missed his presence..
Taking a deep breath Armaan smiled down at her.. "I have to go on a dinner party with some clients tonight. You are coming with me right.. "
It took her every will power to stay calm and not react to him.. Maybe she really needed to make him realize his mistake.. " NO "
His smile faded off as he frowned. The gang glanced at her surprised..
"You have any work to do.. " He spoke hesitantly still shocked with her cold behavior. Shilpa sighed and glanced at him with sad eyes which confused him more.. "No. I just dont want to go.. "
Her straightforwardness shocked him. He stood trying to figure out as she took her bag heading to Rahul..
" Rahul can you please drop me home.. "
Her voice felt more weak then she thought. Everyone grew silent with her sudden change in behavior. Rahul glanced back at Armaan who stood worried and then at Shilpa. " Sure if you want.. "
Without a backward glance she left the room while Armaan stared at her retreating back..
" I hate rain " She blurted out with a foul mood as she stared outside.. The rainy whether wasnt doing any good to her heart. He needed dose of his own medicine. She advised herself heading back to the kitchen silently.. Stirring the hot soup she kept staring down at it when the sound of the door startled her. She glanced up to see Armaan who walked inside drying his wet hair..
" Hey " He spoke quietly putting down his back with a gentle smile. The smile made her heart ache, but then her mood was too bad to forgive him. He sighed heavily noticing her cold behavior.. "Is this the moment where i have to stay I am sorry Shilpa for requesting you to accompany me for the dinner "
Shilpa glanced at him feeling like her anger was ready to burst.. " You really dont get it.. Right Armaan "
" Sorry that i am not a mind reader.. " He muttered taking off his jacket cursing under his breath..
She brushed away a anger tear and got back on her cooking.. At the moment she realized how much she wanted to go away to the room, bury her face into the pillow and sleep. But then maybe running away was too out of rate..
She gasped feeling him hug her from behind.. She tried to move away but then he held her tight and firm making it impossible for her.. Before she knew the tears started to make way down her cheeks as she cried softly.. He tensed beside her and whispered. " I really dont like when you cry.. "
Feeling tired and defeated she turned back hugging him, crying louder.. He winced almost in pain.. " And i dont like at all when i am the reason for your crying.. "
She sobbed in his arms as he soothed her rocking her gently.. "Maybe i am becoming too uncaring these days.. Isint it.. "
Her loud cry guaranteed him. Grunting to himself he muttered out a sorry and held her in silence.. As her sobs subsided he pulled back and cleared her tears.. " What should i say.. I just want to you understand that.. "
Closing her eyes she interrupted him.. " The truth is that you dont give me a chance to understand you.. "
He stared at her blankly as she snorted in anger.. " You really cant expect me to understand every single behavior of urs. Really dont. Specially when you a literally pushing me out of ur life.. "
"Thats not true.. " He blurted out stunned by her words..
She shook her head with a sudden sadness and sighed.. " Its the truth Armaan. See it before you are too late.. "
She tried to walk off as he pulled her close staring down at her.. "I am not going to hurt you. Dont think of walking away from me.. "
She gave him a bitter smile and shook her head.. " Dont worry about me. I just hope you dont do that.. "
Startled by her words his grip loosened as she pulled away and stormed out off the kitchen..
Shilpa ran to the room and set on the bed trying to fight back with the tears and pain. Tears were too overrated for her.. Maybe it was time to fight back for everything.
*********************************************
Part 52
One Last Romance ?
From the very night of confrontation Shilpa had finally got an excuse to show her cold side towards him . She had caught his curious stare many times but still she didint budge. This was exactly what he deserve. Her mind protested everytime her heart tried to reason out she should let it go. Armaan's strange behavior was no longer making any sense for her. Neither she cared about it anymore. It seemed as if the whole hospital was sensing the sudden tension between them. Through their work , their talks , their behavior it was clearly visible.Which wasnt like by any of them.
"I am seriously upset with Armaan and Shilpa. Both of them are over dragging this matter now."
"I know Anjali.I also feel bad. But its all their attitude overpowering them everytime.. "
Anjali snorted disbelievingly..
"I cant get this. They both are passionately mad about each other, but still fight like enemies. "
Atul sighed as he glanced at the cold couple doing their duties..
" What to say Anjali. I guess its their style of showing love."
"I dont know Atul. Its cute when they argue as love reflects in it. But now i dont find it nice anymore. Things are quiet serious between them. I feel bad for Shilpa. "
Atul nodded sharing the grief with her.
"Even i do. But also i feel bad for Armaan. I know something is bothering him , eating him from inside for few days. But he is too proud to tell any of us. "
Anjali frowned in tension " Do you have any idea about his problem. ? "
Atul sighed and glanced at Armaan longingly.. "I wish i knew. If i knew i would be the first person to make peace between them. "
"Damn. Where the hell is my file "
Armaan muttered frustratedly as he shoved away the files trying to find the one he need. Shilpa narrowed her eyes at him and took the file on corner of table.. "If only you could keep your eyes open. "
He glared back at her and snatched away the file as she winced in pain. Shaking his head he leaned towards her.. " I dont understand you now. Is there one day you would prefer giving me real peace. Or you would go on being sarcastic. "
Shilpa felt tired and defeated. She didint knew whether to ignore him or retort back to him. Either way loss was hers.. " You dont need to understand me at all. Dont waste your time please" She mumbled.
"Sometimes i wonder who was the girl i married " He blurted out but next second regretted. Shilpa stared at him blankly while he tried to find a way back to take back his words. She felt stabbed and hurt. His words were no longer nice to hear. She quietly spoke before walking out of the room "Sometimes you make me wonder whats went so wrong between us. "
Armaan clenched his jaw as she stormed out of the room. Again. In anger.
What the hell am i doing. He buried his head in his hands in shame and regret , recalling exactly his every behavior in past days.
" If i could just... "
"Hey Buddy " Atul gave a pat on Armaan's shoulder joining him in his cabin. Armaan nodded distractedly still lost in thoughts of her.
Atul frowned. "Everything fine ? I have noticed that you seem to be very worried these days. "
Armaan sighed . " Nothing much Atul. Just the stress of work getting on me.. "
"If you dont mind... " Atul's voice trailed off as he grew nervous. Armaan frowned at him as he shook his head quickly.. "Well nothing much.."
"Say what you want Atul.." Armaan muttered tiredly studying his file..
"Its about Shilpa.. " He glanced away as Armaan grew still. "I know very well there is some tension between you both. I just have to say dont let this become too serious. "
Armaan sighed frustratedly.. "What you think Atul. I am doing this deliberately ? Hack i have no intention of upsetting her. Its just.. " His voice trailed off as he got back into his thoughts..
Atul studied him silently for a while and gave a curt nod.. "Just chill Armaan and take everything smoothly. Am sure if you talk with her everything will be fine.. "
Talking to Atul did make him feel better. With a small smile he gave a acknowledging nod.. "I will try my best. Thanks Atul.. "
Atul being Atul passed his genuine smile.. "Thats what friends are for "
"Do you think this suit is going to be good one me.. " Armaan spoke with a sudden awkwardness but with hopeful eyes as he stood infront of the mirror while she set on the bed. For a moment she glanced and studied him quietly.. " There is still 2 hours left for your meeting.. "
Irritation grew in him but he tried to keep himself calm. He didint knew himself what he was doing. "To hell with the meeting. Here i am trying to build up a conversation and you.. "
"Who told you to try even Armaan " She snorted shaking her head.. "From when trying had started coming between us. Is a normal talk also difficult to do now."
"What can i do if you are not interested in talk " He realized his voice was growing loud. But the fact she was getting on his nerves was annoying him. "I dont know what to do " He threw of his coat as her lips thinned in tension.. " You dont even let me make it up for you.. " He started to take off his shirt.. "Can you tell me whats the main problem here now.. "
Shilpa tried not to get nervous seeing the anger in his eyes. Oh yes he did make her nervous despite of the fact he was stripping infront of her. Which was anyways not helping. " I am exactly not the person here drowning himself into the work.. "
He gave a bitter laugh and moved towards her with a sudden change of expression. She swallowed as her heart thudded. She tried to be calm not showing any fear in her face.. He came and stood infront of her and stared down at her.. "Am not the perfect husband am i ? "
His voice send chills down her spine as she stared at him stunned. From where this topic came now.. ? "You are totally going off the topic Armaan "
He leaned down further brushing his lips on hers. She backed away surprised.. "What... "
"This is what you want right.This is your complaint.. "
Her eyes grew wide as she grew flushed.. "Being sexual with you isint the only thing.. "
He cut back her words with a rough kiss, almost punishing her.. She gasped and fell on the bed as he overpowered her.. He held her both wrists firmly as she tried to struggle underneath him. She liked being close to him , she loved his kisses and his caresses. But this behavior was truly freaking her out now.
Finally she succeeded and pulled back.. "Armaan.. What... Stop this right now.. "
He blocked her way as she tried to move away.. With a dark smile he stared down at her making her shiver.. "This is exactly what you want. And i am going to give you what you want and need.."
She glared at him and hissed almost painfully.."I am not a sexually frustrated women that you "
"Dont sell out yourself so cheap " He interrupted almost snapping while matching her anger..
As he started to caress her curves she gasped and protested weakly.. "But.. But your meeting "
"I have 2 hours left "
That was the last talking done before he claimed her. Oh so he did claim her just the way she needed to be.. She felt her anger almost fading. She felt the love and passion he always had for her while he made love to her.
An hour passed as he pulled away from her breathing hard. She almost smiled as she stared at his back, feeling the old love brimming in her heart. This was the Armaan Mallik she always loved. Who always wanted things the way he want. His attitude always left her stunned.
She felt happy and peaceful until...
"Now i guess you are satisfied " He spoke grimly getting up from the bed staring down at her. Turning around he started to dress himself.. Just like that he turned his back to her. As if nothing happened..
Her smile faded off as she stared at him in shock. Pain shot through her heart as she tried to sit up but failed. She felt betrayed and insulted. Turning away her head she left the tears fall from her eyes as he walked out of the room without a word..
Minutes passed as she thought of it. As she kept recalling his taunting words rage built inside her. How dare he treat her like this. Who gave him the right. With a grim determination she set up on the bed clearing her tears and went up to get dressed..
Beast Beast. Armaan kept mentally cursing himself as finally he got a grip on himself. He felt so bad that he found it hard to concentrate on the meeting. How could he do this to her. How could he let his anger take over like this.. Now i guess you are satisfied. The guilt grew in him so bad that he found it hard to breath. Had he really changed that bad. How could he cross the limit. You were supposed to apologize her not insult her more idiot.. He clenched his fist trying to concentrate on the talks done by the clients. Whatever happens after this he knew one thing.
Shilpa was never going to forgive him.
"To hell with you Armaan Mallik !! "
The shout startled him sending a shiver down his spine. He eyes grew wide as he noticed a disheveled Shilpa who stood infront of the conference hall main door. A lump formed in his throat seeing her state, seeing her vulnerable.
Oh god But the sudden alertness grew inside him as he noticed the shocked faces of the clients , and narrowing glances of the trustees. Giving a apologize to him he quickly walked towards Shilpa who stood trembling..
"Shilpa lets go outside and we will talk.. "
She shoved off his hands and glared at him.. " I am not going anywhere !! YOU HERE THAT !! I am gonna talk here only.. "
Glancing back a nervous look at his clients he gave her a pleading look. "Listen baby i can explain. This isint the right time. I can explain.. "
Back inside the clients started to talk..
"Isint she a doctor here. "
"Yaa she is the head's wife.. "
"So irresponsible i tell you.. "
Armaan felt more horrible as he heard the nasty remarks.. Gripping her hand he tried to take her out as she shouted again "Thats none of your business "
He gaped at her while several gasps came from inside.. He glared down at her helplessly.. "Stop this behavior right now you are going to ruin yourself. Do you even know who they are. ??? "
She gave him a bitter smile almost dizzy. Thats when he realize she had actually come here..
Drunk..
Oh God No..
"I dont care who are they " She mumbled softly trying to steady herself.. Armaan stood shock as one of the trustee accompanied him..
"If i am correct she looks to be drunk.. "
Armaan tried to form a excuse. He tried to think fast only when Shilpa interrupted..
"Who the hell are you.. ?? Get away i am talking to my husband "
Armaan cursed while the trustee shook his head disgustingly.. "I cant believe this. This was the last behavior i expected seeing from Sanjeevani "
Armaan flinched almost scared to even speak a word. Part of him wanted to hold her and take her away while the other part reminded him of his responsibility towards his hospital as a head. Slowly , defeated he loosened his hold from her exactly knowing what was coming..
"We are in a middle of a important meeting " The trustee spoke gritting his teeth.. "Neither you or i can let go this opportunity. Right now i am going to call of this meeting and set it for tomorrow. For her i am going to take the decision."
Armaan felt numb but gave a nod. Shilpa stood confused but in her dizzy state she realized something was definitely wrong. Her rage towards Armaan faded off as she grew concerned. Before she could ask anything everything went blank and she fell on her husband..
Between all the mess and tension this was the last thing she expected from herself. After two hours Shilpa was finally awake , she set in Armaan's cabin among all the interns feeling disgusted. Getting drunk wasnt in her plan. One stupid mistake. She bit her lip feeling like crying as she realized she was going to loose her carrier. Anjali placed a hand supportingly while Armaan stood near the door with this back turned. Who knew her plan of trying to hurt him with make her get in trouble. That also into something bad which she couldnt change. She closed her eyes feeling miserable , as tears formed in them. The Tension hung between them for a long time.
Soon the trustees walked inside the room with grim looks. Shilpa stood up and kept her head down not being able to meet their gaze. Infact not having enough courage to look at any of them. She clenched her fist as the trustees came and stood infront of her.
"Dr.Shilpa, the irresponsible not acceptable behavior you showed today was the last thing i expect to see from you.. "
She felt something crashed inside her as she listened to the nasty truth. The next Trustee shook his head and spoke.. "Specially you being the wife of the head of Sanjeevani. We all respected you. But today's behavior was strictly unacceptable.. "
She felt to weak and ashamed to say sorry even. So she stood quiet preparing for the worst.
"After discussing this , we have come to conclusion that we need to take a strict action regarding this.. " The trustee glanced at everyone " So no other doctor would think of doing such a thing. "
"I am sorry Mrs. Mallik but following the rules of a hospital and with your irresponsible behavior today we have to suspend you for 6 months "
Suspended. Shilpa felt her whole world collapse infront of her eyes. Her father's face came infront of her eyes at once as her eyes welled up in shock. Her dreams , his hopes towards her carrier. Everything was gone.
As the Trustees left she stood rooted on her spot and glanced at her one last support who stood near the door. The painful tears which had formed in his eyes made her realize in the very minute.
She had failed..

"My Baby... "

Part 53
The end of Love ?
1 Month Later :
" Shilpa come on come with us its really going to be fun.. "
A smile formed on her lips but she shook her head unwillingly.. " I really cant. You must not forget Anjali I am in suspension, i cant accompany to a medical trip.. "
Anjali made a face but didint say a word as she knew Shilpa was correct. She could easily sense the tension between Armaan and Shilpa. She havent seen either of them do a normal conversation anymore. No matter how hard she tried to bring them close, they seem to get away from eachother.
It was hard to understand what Armaan was feeling about this. After the horrible incident that night he had grown reserved and quiet. Hardly anyone could see him do a talk or laugh. The sudden change in his behavior was making everyone unhappy. Gone was the arrogant , self confident Armaan who used to bark orders at Everyone. On other side she could clearly understand how hurt Shilpa was. She had lost her carrier and all confidence. Eventhough she had grown quiet still she tried her best to remain strong infront of all. Try to make a conversation with them , try to look happy even if inside she was breaking. The most hurtful thing for Anjali to see was how she glanced at Armaan with hurt in her eyes. She couldnt even think how badly Armaan's ignorance was effecting Shilpa.
Rahul and Atul had gone away for the medical trip. Still Anjali wished both of them were beside her to help her through this.
Anjali shook her head trying to be not effected by the tension hanging in the dining room. She smiled and took Shilpa's hand affectionately.. "I understand this is hard for you Shilpa. But you cant keep punishing urself forever. "
She smiled bitterly but hurt was visible in her eyes.. "You cant even imagine how much guilt i still have buried inside me Anjali. I cant forget the irresponsible behavior which have taken away all my dreams. I have lost my reputation as a doctor infront of whole world."
"Believe me Shilpa i do understand what you are going through right now" Anjali sighed. "I wish i could help you even little "
Tears of hurt and anger formed in her eyes and she tried to smile but failed.. " But you cant help me Anjali. No one can i have badly failed myself"
The awkwardness was killing him. From a month he felt as if he was living with a stranger. Shilpa had grown quiet and unresponsive. Few moments came where he had tried to gain some courage to have a talk to her but utterly failed.
She wasnt the only one who was hurt regarding the horrible incident which took away her carrier , her dream. He knew how much hurt he felt the moment everything was taken away. As time passed he had realized he could no longer blame her for the failure. It wasnt fully her fault, whatever happened was due to his own cruel behavior. What have i become. He thought bitterly as he buttoned his shirt getting ready for the day. Through the corner of his eyes he glanced at his wife who stood near the window staring outside. He sighed feeling miserable. Do what you have to do, Take a step to her and console her. His heart guided him.
Shilpa could feel his presence behind her which made her grow still. Eventhough she had no longer strength to respond back to any feelings, his presence still made her uneasy. She closed her eyes and clutched her fingers on the window. Several minutes passed. Shilpa tried to keep her herself calm, trying her best not to be effected by him. Several minutes passed she stood tensed not daring enough to cast a glance at him. But her curiosity grew as she wondered. What was he doing ? Unwillingly she turned and faced the man who stood behind her silently staring at her intently. The gentleness in his eyes surprised her. And then he smiled , tears filled in her eyes and a sob escaped from her lips. His jaw clenched as he took a step back , A lump formed on her throat. Shilpa turned away feeling the same hurt comeback to her at once. Every single person was drifting away from her and she couldnt help but blame herself for the failure.
Suddenly within a instinct he was behind her breathing hard. Her own breath caught as she felt his hot breath on her ears. "Tonight " The word sent chills down her spine. She frowned. Was that a promise. She stood for sometime trying to calm down her thudding heart and turned around only to find he was gone.. Tonight..
She came out of the shower clutching the night dress close to her body. As she turned around her steps came to a halt, Armaan stood near the window staring outside. What was he doing back home so early. His appearance made her grow nervous. Gone was the official look now he stood with his back to her clasped only in a denim jeans. He almost look comforting. Almost Like a... Husband. Shilpa shivered but took a step forward but he turned around feeling her presence. His eyes ran down her body making her grow flush, his eyes was dark with desire. Shilpa tried to stop herself from responding to him but her body was reacting to him. She clenched her fist and stood rigid as he came towards her with a slow pace. As he came closer she panicked and walked away towards the bed and settled herself on her side. As she turned to glance back at him she regretted her decision. Maybe no surely she had done a big mistake. She should have gone out of the room rather than getting on the bed. She thought angrily as he slowly got on the bed moving close to her. Her heart thudded as he came closer , almost brushing his body with hers. Shilpa closed her eyes not willing to let her body response to his touch. Dont react. Dont let yourself get hurt. She reminded herself bitterly as she opened her eyes staring up at the ceiling. She felt him sigh almost in defeat. But he caressed her face while she just stared at him blankly. He brushed his lips on hers only to feel her grow still under his touch. Still it didint weaken his resolve. He would make sure by tonight he will take away the coldness, the hurt and anger within her.
" Let me help you " The words which he spoke soothingly made her eyes fill with tears. He brushed them off almost gently almost scared to hurt her.
" It hurts " She spoke weeping silently. Eventhough she was scared to loose herself in emotions , his gentleness made her cry. Its been long time since she had been craving for his touch or his care.
" I know how much it hurts. Just once. Let me help you. " He pleaded her as he held her close , comforting her.
Few minutes passed after that she gave a silent nod. Soon her heart filled with bliss as he started to shower light kisses on her face. It was soothing her pain as she smiled softly. He smiled back and sighed almost in relief. Seeing her breath hard the desire rushed inside him as his hands slowly worked on the knot of the nightdress. He opened it and softly peeled off the dress from her body. With hunger and desire filled eyes he crushed his lips down on hers kissing her passionately , just like the way he had dreamed of doing all these days. She responded back eagerly to his kisses. He traced his tongue on her lower lips, she gasped and opened her mouth making it easier for him to kiss her deeply. Soon he pulled of roughly to notice her lips all swollen and red. Satisfaction filled in him as he saw the emotions filled in her eyes which he had missed baldly.. He bent down on her neck nibbling her soft skin only to be interrupted by his phone..
"Damn " He cursed and set up on the bed and took his phone. Shilpa tried to catch her breath, she pulled up the blanket on her body and set up beside him. She felt herself flush as he stared down at her with dreamy eyes. But as the phone rang again he took the call and..
"What ! I will be there in 15 minutes "
She stared at him awkwardly as he started to get dressed with a foul mood. She bit her lip not daring to question him about the call. What if he gets angry and shout again. But to her surprise he finished dressing up and turned back to her with concerned filled eyes.. " I really have to go now.. There is a urgent meeting to be done . I will be back soon "
The way he promised made her sigh in relief. She smiled softly and nodded. "Its ok.. "
He stared at her for a long time and leaned down to her kissing her almost rough and passionately. She gasped as he pulled back and whispered.. "I will be back. "
He is back.. She woke up and blinked her eyes as she heard several noises within the room. Shilpa set up wondering what he was doing. Her frown grew as she noticed him moving around the room hastily taking out his clothes. She stood up alarmed.. "Armaan. Why are you taking your clothes.?"
At first he didint reply she wondered if he was listening to her. Thats when she noticed a suitcase lying on the bed. Her heart thudded as she moved closer to him. "Whats wrong Armaan.. "
She took a step back as he shot a glare at her. God plz not again.. What had gone wrong this time. Whatever was wrong he was upset with her. Deeply upset..
"Could you please tell me whats wrong " Gaining some courage she spoke softly. He stopped his packing and shook his head with a bitter laugh.. "You are asking me whats wrong. What havent gone wrong since i met you.."
" Whatever happened ,You cant blame me alone for it. " She spoke gritting her teeth as the anger rose within her..
He stared at her for a long time, thats when she noticed he was utterly disturbed. Something had gone wrong and he was taking the anger on her. But why should i tolerate everytime..
"Exactly. I do blame myself. You dont know how badly i am regretting them"
Shilpa flinched and glanced at him wounded.. " Dont do this Armaan. You are going to say thing which u will regret later. What is wrong now. I thought u wanted to correct things between us.. ? "
More hurt grew within her as he ignored her words with a bored look. "Maybe you forgot what had happened last month. Maybe you forgot how embarrassed i had to be because of you. Its not only ur carrier which ended my own reputation was on stake. And today cause of your mistake i have to go and beg them from taking away my hospital from me.. "
"I thought u understood how sorry i was for that day.. " Shock ripped through her tears kept welling up which he ignored easily..
" Are you ? Did you ever try to understand how important that place is for me. Sanjeevani is the only place i have as a memory of my parents. And now they are trying to take it away from me. " His voice grew horse , his expression grew pained as he stared at the space. Shilpa sobbed silently and tried to touch him, but he back away with a harsh laugh.
"Armaan if this is happening because of me you dont know how sorry.. "
He cut back her words in anger.. " You are sorry.. ?? No you dont know how i am sorry to trust you to be a responsible doctor , a good wife. Were you taking revenge from me for tricking you into marriage ?? "
Stunned by his words she shook her head.. " You dont meant it Armaan. "
" I do. I mean every single word i am saying. If you had to take revenge why couldnt you just ruin me. Why take away only memory of my parents.. "
" But i love you.. Why would i take revenge " She sobbed uncontrollably. But he hardened his heart towards her cries. His mind wasnt working at the moment. All he could see was his dream hospital slipping away from his hands..
"Love.. I doubt i even loved you ever.. " He spoke bitterly passing the cruel look at her. Shilpa flinched in pain and stared at him " Shut up Armaan. Just SHUT UP !! "
" Why ? Cant you bear the truth.. " The old arrogance was back in his face.. " I might have misunderstood myself to love you maybe i just lusted after you all these time dont you think so ? "
" You are lying " She clenched her fist clearing out her tears. His hatred look kept breaking her heart to pieces " You are just trying to push me away from you. Thats what you always do right. Armaan Mallik.. "
His jaw clenched as he smirked.. " I dont even expect you to walk away. Where will you go. Other than me who is there to help you. "
" If my Dad was.. "
" Your father is dead ! " He blurted out in anger. Shilpa clenched her fist and slapped him hard on his cheek. " My father might be dead but i am not helpless "
He rubbed his cheek and snorted.. " Darling , you are just helpless like a small child. You are helpless that you have to depend on me everytime. And i will make sure you remain helpless like that. "
She returned him the dirty look.. "Why ? Because i have took revenge on you. I have taken away your hospital.. "
" You are smarter enough than i thought.. " He shook his head quietly.. " I am not ever going to forgive you for this Shilpa.. "
" I really dont care Mallik.. " Tears formed in her eyes as she stared at him in pain.. "Marrying you was the biggest mistake of my life.. I wish.. I wish i never met you.. "
He stared back at her with a hatred look no emotions showing on his face.. Say i am wrong Armaan. She pleaded in her heart as he smirked dirtily.. "Believe me Shilpa. I wish the same thing.. "
As he turned away she slipped on to the floor in shock. The hurt burst through her so hard she almost felt hard to breath. His every single insult and remark kept ringing in her head. He coolly packed his suitcase and set it down. Before leaving he stared down at her hardening his expression. He himself didint knew how much damage he had done. But he couldnt think now he couldnt. Maybe later he would regret, whatever he did whatever he said. But not now. Right now he had to do every single thing to get back his hospital..
" I am leaving for Europe. To do one last try to save my parents dream , my dream. Just pray i get back what i am going for. Orelse the consequences arent going to be great When i comeback to you. "
Orlese the Consequnces arent going to great when i comeback to you.. The last words which he spoke before leaving send chills down her spine. But she wasnt scared she wasnt even hurt every feeling had died within her hearing his words.. She stared at the door as he walked away without a further glance.. " Good riddance Armaan Mallik ! "
Precap :
"I cant believe Shilpa is gone " Anjali whimpered and spoke again.
" Surely she had a good reason to go.Maybe we should tell Armaan. He might be able to.. "
Atul " How ?? How are we going to tell him. None of us knows where Armaan is from Months.. He is himself missing "
