PART -2
"What? Please Divya Bhabhi..dont joke with matters like these..How can Adithi ever leave me? This is not possible !!"
Divya was crying without any reply and this did not seem a joke to Bharath.
"Plz tell me what happened" he pleaded this time.
Amar took the phone from divya and said soothingly" Bharath you come back here first..We can talk about it.."
"No.." bharath shouted.." Adithi will not leave me like this..something has happened...tell me is she alright? is Karan out of Jail?" Bharath was panicking now.
"No Bharath..bas woh chotimaa ko adithi ke baare mein.."
"Phone maa ko deejiye bhaiyya..i want to talk to her" Bharath replied calming down.Probably Chotimaa has sent her somewhere on purpose..may be he didnt need to panic at all....Bharath relaxed a bit thinking all this.
"Bharath..hume tumse koi baath nahin karni...tumne hum se adithi ki asliyath chupaayi hain..aisi ladki tumhaare liye teek nahin hain bharath..accha hua ki woh tumhaare zindagi se chali gayi.." Karuna spoke.
Bharath had clenched his fists while listening to all this.
" Did you ask her to leave?" He asked trying to impose a calmness into his voice which he did not feel.
" I just told her she is not right for you" Karuna replied coldly.
" Not right for me? ..Not right for me? Ok..we shall see that..i will return home only when i find adithi and yes i will return home with her..Please make the necessary arrangements to welcome your bahu back home"
Bharath slammed down the reciever.His eyes immediately welled up thinking of Adithi.Poor thing..she has already suffered so much.Now she is forced to leave him when atlast she thought she found her happiness.But where can she go now? She was an orphan and had no friends.How was he to find her? He closed his eyes and prayed ..Oh God ! let her be safe..Please help me find her.
Then it hit him.the only place she could go back was probably the orphanage home in Pune.Even if she did not plan to stay over there she would definitely visit that place once in her troubled times.He immediately called up his assistant to get him the number of the orpahange home.He called them right away and explained his situation and asked them to stop adithi from leaving if she comes there.He immediately started to leave for Pune as he was damn sure he would meet her there.
To His Joy,as soon as he reached there,the home ppl called him up to inform that adithi was there.He never remembered how he managed to reach there in a record time.His Heart was beating fast as he stood knocking at the door.
Adithi opened the door and stared at the person in front of her as if God has materialised in front of her.
"Bharath .." she cried as he pulled her into his arms and hugged her tight.
"I thought i was going to loose you forever adithi..Lets go" he kissed her forehead.
Suddenly Adithi pushed him back and turned away from him.
"Please go away Bharath..im not comming with you"
"Shut up Adithi..Just Shut up...You are comming with me..thats it" Bharath lifted Adithi in his arms even as she was struggling and pushed her into his car locking the doors.He thanked the ppl over there and got into the car.
They barely crossed Pune when Bharath abruptly stopped his car.He turned around to face a crying Adithi.
"Let me go.." She said between her hiccups.
Bharath's Heart went out for her.
"dont you love me Adithi? Dont you want to be my wife and spend the rest of your life with me"
Adithi bent her head down and muttered something like..choitimaa
"Damn it.." Bharath pulled her out of the car and took her into the nearby mandir.
A Havan was taking place with the sacred fire lit in the center.
"Adithi..im going to marry you now.Ill take you back home as my Dulhann..lets see what anybody has to say about it then"
"No Bharath..no...listen to me" Adithi tried to reason with him.
" No Adithi..you listen.."
Bharath filled her maang with Sindoor.Exchanged the Garlands and took the holy rounds around the fire.
The panditji blessed the newly wed couple complimenting how good they look with each other.Bharath put his arm around her in a possessive sort of way while adithi meekly stared into his eyes as if asking him if this was for real.
"Hume tumse pyaar kitna yeh hum nahin jaanthe.." Bharath was singing as they were driving back home.
The rain which had started as a gentle drizzle has taken its violent form now and was beating against the windows harshly.The road ahead was not good and they suspected if they can make it home in such a bad weather.Their doubts were confirmed as the road ahead got blocked because of some trees which lay on the road.They could not go back either as the car would not start either.
Bharath got out of the car and scanned the area they were currently in.he found a house nearby which didnt seem inhabited and decided to move in there.By the time they reached the house both were totally drenched.
The house was locked and they could not find a way to break into it.Bharath would have but Adithi wouldnt let him do that.They found a shed nearby that was open in which hay was stacked.Part of it also looked like a store room.The ground was spread with hay which was good enough for sitting down on it.Both of them were wet but didnt have any clothes to change.Bharath had left his baggage to be collected by his assistant at Bangalore in a hurry to find adithi and Adithi was not allowed to get her bag before Bharath forcibly took her to his car.
Adithi had worn his favourite white colour dress that day and sat down beside him.Bharath was very tired and tried to lay down on the hay looking at her.
"Angel..." he complimented her as he usually did when she wore it.."Ouch..." He sprang back.
"kya hua bhrath?" adithi asked alarmed.
"I think this hay will not let me lay down without poking me enough" he complained
Adithi removed her Dupatta and laid it down as a mattress for him on the hay strewn floor.
"Now that should be a bit comfortable " she said as she sat with her back to him.
"Its very cold..I wish I had someone to cuddle up.."
"Bharath.." Adithi cut his sentence and started.." What if Chotimaa doesnt accept me and our marriage..I know you love her and respect her a lot..will you leave me if she asks you to?" She asked him the one thing that was bothering her from long time.
"Ofcourse I will.." He rose from his position and sat down beside her while silent tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Then I will find a beautiful Girl of her choice and marry her"
He cupped her face in his hands and said " Arey Buddhu !! what kind of a question was that? Ill leave my life but not my Wife !"
Adithi managed a small smile for his dramatic rhyming.
Bharath stopped a tear rolling down her cheeks with his lips.He then kissed her cheek softly.Adithi for once did not stop him but instead hugged him tight while he continued to kiss her.
