Santu sat in her room, combing her hair slowly... Why was she so nervous today? She had attended many award ceremonies before so why was she trembling today? She was successful, beautiful and most importantly surround by loyal and loving people. So why was this unhappiness clouding over one of the most awaited days of her life.
Santu had walked out from the M-Mansion with Toral and Hiten, who knew that Santu would always occupy her mind and cry so they shifted to London, where she learnt to be happy and an individual who wasn't dependant on DM for everything. After months of hard work Santu started her own Bridal company, designing wedding outfits for brides to be, both eastern and western.
She hadn't stopped caring for her family, she is always kept in touch with Champakali, who told her the latest happening, reassuring her that things would change.
Champa rarely mentioned DM, she didn't want to weaken Santu as she knew this was the time Santu had to prove that she was above all suspicions and wrong doings against her... But this time she had to, this time it was important, He was coming... DM was coming to London..
Hiten, Toral and their son Aarav were all joing Santu at the award show. It was a special night for them, Santu was recieving Business Women Of The Year Award for her tremendous hard work and dedication. The recognition she had recieved was amazing, people from all Europe where sending her orders and branches of her company had spread over to Asia...
She walked out of the car onto the Red Carpet greeted by paparazzi, she posed elegantly in a stunning Blood Red Sari that she and Toral had designed. She walked into the venue greeting known faces with a simple smile but deep down something was niggling away at her,...
She sat near the front of the venue. Her eyes searching the entrance every split second...
And suddenly he appeared... He was wearing a Black embroidered Kurta with a simple Off White Dhoti. He looked amazing as ever. He had aged a little but he was in good shape and that was enough for Santu.
Santu's award was announced and she slowly walked towards the stage, she was scared but gracefully accepted the award. She felt all eyes peircing her waiting for an acceptance speech.
'Thank You God, Thank you Everyone for giving me this award, its very special as I recieve it as a token of your love. Thank you to my small but beautiful family who acted as my rock and believed in me even when I didn't and Thank You Maalik, for wherever you may be for letting me go and touch the stars.'
She wept as she walked back to her seat, she looked up and caught a glimpse of DM, he was wiping away his tears. Santu could feel pride and she was happy, truly happy.
The night came to end and Hiten, Toral and Aarav had left midway as they had to catch an early flight to Egypt. The trio had hardly been anywhere since Aarav was born and now that workload had reduced as the wedding season was over Santu booked the tickets insisting that the couple spend valuable time alone with their son.
Santu looked around in the dark room, it seemed empty but she could sense someone. Maybe an old lady or a drunkard that had dozed off??
She picked up her purse and began to walk toward the exit, when she felt a hand reach towards her.
DM stood in front of her. He held her hand. She remembered how her had mocked her small hands. Then he let go. He fell upon his knees and cried. She knelt down beside him and gently wiped his tears.
'Im so sorry Santu. All I ever loved was my ego. I thought I was strong and didn't need anything, anyone. But then I lost you. I'm sorry you had to leave your house, your family and walk away. I know you hate me and forgiving me may seem impossible but please if you ever loved me please forgive me. If I gain your forgiveness my life would be complete'.
Santu felt big fat tears dropping onto her cheeks, Never had she seen her husband so weak, so broke. She knew she had been wronged but her heart ached everyday since she left just for a glimpse of him.
'I never stopped loving you' she cried. 'A day hasn't past when I haven't thought of you. Despite the distance you remained near me, in my heart. I love you as I did two years ago more if possible but I felt that it was best that I walked away. I knew that you cared for me you could never love me'. DM looked at Santu shocked but he knew she was right. What happiness had he ever given her? He always compared her to Subhi.
' I realised how important you were when you walked away. I know I wronged you and that I never gave you the rightful place you deserved. I realised I loved you until you went but then it was too late.' Saying this he got up steadily and began to walk away. He looked back and whispered 'I love you... Goodbye.'
Santu got up quickly, she knew that her life had completely changed but this was the man she loved more than anything and she couldn't let him go again.'
'Wait!!' Santu ran towards DM and held him close.
'Im sorry too... and I love you' she sobbed...
He felt her heart pounding loudly, he wrapped his arms around her holding her close. He lifted her face looking into her eyes and realised that everything would be okay.
She leaned closer stil and kissed his cheeks. She could taste the saltiness of his tears. His eyes still fixed deeply into hers, he began to lose his senses into the warmth of her body...
Thank You all, for enjoying this season of SanRaj Seperation, but true love always triumphs... Sorry about the post being long but sure hope you enjoy it...
