Chapter 4
At 3:30 am
She jerked up from her sleep as her cell rang.
The ringtone was like the silence before the deadly storm, an indication of worst coming ahead.
"hello" she murmured groggily.
"Hello, Dia? Main rohan"
"Rohan?" Dia sat upright and clicked her lamp.
"Yeah" Rohan seemed to be breathing hard as if he had run a mile. "u okay?" dia whispered as she turned to Dev, he was sleeping peacefully.
"Yeah m fine, but RanVijay"
Dia's heart thudded loudly as blood pounded in her veins.
"what happened!?" she stood up from her bed rushing near the window for better signal
"he's fine, he will be.."
Tears blurred her vision,as her heart paced "wat happened?" she asked her voice strained.
"We were goin on this photoshoot" Rohan grimaced.
"he told me" dia nodded her head holding on to the phone as if it was her lifeline.
"we were goin to the sets, thru helicopter and one of them crashed and-"
Rohan didn't need to complete his sentence as dia's knees finally gave up on her, she slid down clutching on the window sill.
"Rohan Is he Fine?" Dia asked understanding tht probably rohan was giving her fake assurance.
"I don't know"
"WAT DO U mean u don't know!" Dia shrieked but immediately lowered her tone as Dev flicked an arm expressing his discomfort.
"I mean he's in the hospital.. I haven't met him as of yet, I am trying but they are not telling anything."
Dia was listening to each and every word of Rohan as she slipped her robes on. Fresh tears rolled down her cheeks as a dry sob escaped.
"m coming, m coming der"
"wat!? But am here"
"no I am comi-"
"don't be stupid" rohan cut her off "u take care of dev, i will get, I will take care of everything here, am here!" Rohan said earnestly.
Dia sobbed harder not able to control herself.
"I will call u as soon as i get any news" rohan whispered and ended the call.
Dia turned to Dev, their small baby was sleeping peacefully.
She turned to the door and threw it open, tears flowed down her eyes freely, her robe flapped behind her as she made her way upstairs.
She rushed through the corridor and banged on samrat's door.
"Sam!! Sammy! Open the door" she pleaded.
No response
"Samrat! Benji!" she kicked the door and paced towards Gunjan's room
"Gunjan! Nupur!!" dia banged her fist on the door as she silently broke from inside.
The door to samrat's door flew open as the two ran towards her, a second later nupur stood infront of dia.
"Dia!?" Nupur exclaimed as gunjan stepped out.
"Dia? Kya hua?" Gunjan asked worried as she held dia's shoulder
Dia didn't have words to express her despair as she crumpled and latched on to gunjan for support, hugging her.
Samrat and Benji stared confused as slowly sleep drifted off and panic bubbled in them.
They couldn't understand wat dia was saying as it was muffled between her sobs.
Gunjan held dia and took her in to her room.
After a while dia calmed down and told them everything.
"Relax Dia" Benji rubbed her back as he dialed rohan's number again.
Samrat had already made a run to his room to get his mobile maybe suhaani could help..
Benji exited the room as he got rohan on the call.
Nupur sat next to Dia and wiped her tears off.
"Dont cry okay?" nupur murmured "he will be fine, dev is here, we are here"
Dia smiled a little as she hugged nupur.
"I'll call a few other friends of mine, I guess they can help" Dia sniffed her voice thick.
"yeah" nupur agreed.
Dia headed out rushin to her room.
"Suhaani" samrat's voice reached the duo.
"Suhaani?" gunjan wondered as she headed towards the door.
Samrat was standing at his door.Gunjan approached him.
"pls try and findout" he murmured on the phone as he glanced at gunjan.
"okay thanks" he ended the call.
"Suhaani" samrat answered as he messaged someone else "my stepsister, she's from London as well"
Gunjan stared wide-eyed at him "ur stepsister!?" she asked.
"yeah" he sighed and entered his room again as he held his phone to his ear.
Angry tears formed in her eyes as she entered his room.
"damn it!" samrat cursed as he flicked through contacts on his phone.
Gunjan grinded her teeth as she stepped infront of him.
"You have a stepsister?" she asked emphasizing on the last word.
Samrat blinked confused "yeah"
"and u never found it important to tell me!?" she asked hysterically.
"yes because she's not important"
She shook her head not believeing samrat as tears flowed down her cheeks "you are impossible" she pushed him slightly as she rushed past through him heading downstairs.
Unnoticed by the two, nupur stood shaking her head, worry etched on her face.
She picked her cell and called Uday and CJ telling them abt RV.
After a while.
All of them sat at the main hall, their eyes on their cell phones, waiting for news.
Uday was sitting next to Dia with his arms around her protectively, as she cuddled up near him.
Just then a message alert echoed throughout the hall.
All of their gaze shifted to each other
"Its mine" CJ murmured as she checked her cell.
She shook her head as the message read out
I FOUND YOU
"ringtones" she rolled her eyes replying to the rest.
Samrat smiled for a second but then it was replaced with a sad one.
He jerked upright as his cell rang.
"Suhani-" he half-yelled on the phone but it seemed he was cut off in midsentence.
"thank god, thnx a ton!" he sighed in relief.
"ya let me know bye" samrat smiled and ended the call.
"Guys He's fine now" samrat sighed. "Suhani my stepsister met him" All of them were shocked at this new weird introduction but their concern was RV so they let it go "Docs weren't telling nything to others, coincidence or luck she's an intern in the same hospital" Gunjan looked away seething in anger, while others nodded. Nupur was too confused to understand anything, she was concerned for gunjan more than anything but news abt rv was also important to her.
"he's not in danger anymore, but his legs got crushed, suhani says they are undergoing a surgery in the next one hour or so"
Dia nodded politely just then her cell rang.
"Its Rohan, same news I guess" she murmured as she answered his call and headed out to the garden area.
"She will be fine, she's tough" CJ told Uday rubbing his back.
Uday nodded and turned to samrat "thnx i"
"shut up" samrat simply stated. Uday smiled and moved forward to hug sam.
Gunjan stood up as well and headed upstairs, nupur clenched her jaw as she stared at samrat.
"you told mayank abt this?" cj asked nupur.
"no, I will tell him later, I guess, he " nupur stopped half-way "he is a lot tensed these days actually" she mumbled but her eyes found samrat's again.
"can we talk?" she narrowed her eyes.
"sure" samrat said.
Nupur blinked and stood up heading upstairs, while samrat followed.
"Guess we are in a menace again" cj murmured to uday.
"I don't knw" he groaned rubbing his eyes with his palm.
"congratulations guys!" benji announced his voice dripping with sarcasm.
"even you?" cj sighed.
"listen to the news" benji said sourly.
"wat news man?" cj said irritated, benji simply shook his head not wanting to discuss anything.
"Benji m sorry but u r acting stupid!" cj glared.
"m being stupid?"
"yes, don't u trust sheena? These bloody media people don't give a %$#@ abt u and your life, its just plain publicity and game of trp's, fans want news abt sheena and they just cook up sumthin and serve thts it!"
"yeah right!" benji yelled kicking the sofa as he stood up.
"u don't knw nything alright!"
"then why don't u tell us!" cj fought back.
A moment's silence rang in the hall as benji fumed in anger while uday pulled her back to her seat.
"wat Udi?" cj said irritated
"Its his life, let him handle it" Uday murmured, Cj glanced at Benji and heaved a sigh "whatever! U need help we are here okay?"
"thanks" benji gave a curt nod and sat back at his seat.
Gunjan
Suhaani my stepsister
Samrat's words echoed in her mind as she shut her door close, He didn't even tell her, tht he had a sister.
She had no more strength to hold back anymore.
Samrat had kept secrets from her, never revealed himself, never opened up. She didnt know him anymore.
She gathered herself up as she pulled the curtains open to let fresh air in through the window.
FLASHBACK(3 months back)
"samrat!" gunjan smiled trying to push him out of her room.
"No really" he smiled "Chashmissshhh"
Gunjan shook her head "out!"
"no In" he grinned as he stepped forward.
"No u r going out" gunjan tried to push him as she placed her hand on his shoulders. Samrat smiled and placed his hand on top of hers.
Gunjan gaped at him and tried to pull her hands.
"trapped" samrat smiled as he pulled her by the waist.
Gunjan blushed crimson red.
Samrat gazed at her eyes lost for a moment.
He closed in smelling her, letting himself lost in her scent. She was fidgeting in his arms as she tried to pull herself away.
"Chashmish" he whispered in her ear, his eyes closed as her hair softly touched his face.
"u smell great" he whispered which send shivers down her spine.
Samrat nuzzled his nose in her neck as her soft skin made contact with his chin, he let his lips touch lightly as he gave a small peck, gunjan's hands ruffled his hair as she let her hands graze around his neck.
Both of them came back to sense as they stopped and jumped apart.
Gunjan yanked her hands back.
"S-ssoorry" gunjan whispered shakily.
"no..my fault..sorry" samrat stood staring at her as she sat upright, his body tickling all over at her touch.
FLASHBACK ENDS
Samrat And Nupur
Nupur shut the door behind her and stared at samrat. "what's wrong with you?" she asked.
"what?" samrat defended.
"I never thought I will be talking to u abt this"
"abt what?"
"well, when are you going to marry her?"
"ermm next year"
"samrat stop acting childish, u said the same last year!" nupur flashed her eyes at him.
"Alright calm down"
"I will calm down when u tell me wats the prob!" nupur yelled.
"There isn't a problem, its my tournaments, everytime something comes up"
"Do u actually expect me to believe that!? Samrat u have got a serious problem"
"why the hell are you so on and on about it?" samrat yelled back.
"Bloody Shit she's my sister for god damn sake! Why the hell do u think I placed the condition tht u wont touch her before marriage? I trust u guys but I knew tht u wont want to marry her coz u don't believe in marriage!"
"I don't, but I wont marry her just coz I desire her!"
"So u can live without touching her?
"No but "
"but what?"
"m not that religious alright, I don't believe in marriage, its just a bond formed by the bloody society" samrat replied.
"what?" nupur gaped.
Samrat turned heaving a sigh "My parents divorced each other and then dad married another woman, result suhani my stepsis! and then dad divorced that woman as well, he ruined the lives of 4 people, marriage is nothing but a legal paperwork, it ties to people to live together"
Nupur blinked softening a little she continued "Don't you see that its not only abt u but gunjan as well"
"I don't want a family!" samrat yelled.
"huh?" nupur was thoroughtly confused at samrat's sudden outburst.
"Aaj shaadi kal bachche, I don't want responsibilities on me! I cant handle it"
"Mayank aur main do saal se ek achhi shaadi shuda life ji rahe hain, hume to aisi koi prob nahin hui..kyun? woh isliye kyunki humne ek doosre se baat ki, halaat ko samjha aur-"
"-aur ek logical decision liya..par gunjan woh, use family chahiye, usne kaha tha mujhse"samrat said.
"tumne kya kaha?"
"main kya karta? Chup raha"
"If u don't want kids, then talk to gunjan abt it, but why don't u marry her?"
"u knw her nupur, if I marry her, she will change, she will depend on me, wud want to meet my family and she will change..she will..." samrat kicked the corner table and sat on his bed placing his head in his palms.
"but samrat that's not a solution at all" nupur softened.
"to main kya karun?" samrat groaned.
"dekho" nupur sat next to him "tum gunjan se is sab ke bare main baat karo, kya tumhe uski takleef nahin dikhti?"
"main jaanta hoon, par woh kyun nahin samajhti? Suhaani, mom dad woh mere liye important nahin hai, to main kyun unki baat karun?"
"woh nahin jaanti" nupur replied "usse lagta hai ki tum uske saath kuch share karna hi nahin chahte, jaise ki tum usse kuch chhupa rahe ho"
"kya?"
"haan, gunjan bohut bholi hai, you are right, probably gunjan will b a lot dependent on u after marriage, but who wont samrat? Kya tum isi dar se usse shaadi nahin karogey?"
"nahin maine promise kiya hai usse, ek tarah se sagai bhi ki, shaadi bhi karunga" samrat answered in deep thought.
Nupur sighed relieved "chalo jaan main jaan aaye" she said in her typical filmy tone.
Samrat smiled half-heartedly
"tumhari bhabhi hone ke rishtey se bol rahi hoon, gunjan se baat karo, woh tumhari baat zaroor samjhegey, aur use please aur wait mat karao abhi jao"
"kya?"
"hann woh apne kamre main hai abhi jao.."
"nahin abhi nahin"
"kyun?"
"sab theek hona chahiye, RV kuch din main aata hi hoga, tab chashmish ko surprise karte hain" samrat grinned.
"hmm baat to sahi hai tumhari, waise tum bhi na itni si baat ki wajah se meri behen ko itna pareshan kiya"
"sorry, par pehli bar mujhey samajh nahin aa raha tha ki main chashmish se yeh baat kaise karu, mujhey dar tha ki kahin main usse kho na dun"
"I understand" nupur whispered.
"achha tum mayank ko bula lo..Maa(shilpa aunty) bhi aa jaengey" Nupur's smile died.
"Woh busy hoga, aur maa ko doctor ne araam karne ko kaha hai"
"Nupur"
"hmm"
"Ab tumhari baari sach sach batao"
"Woh..ermm"
"Nupur!"
"hann?"
"The Truth"
"samrat aisi koi baat nahin hai" nupur turned.
Samrat smiled and mimicked her in the same pitched tone "Do you actually expect me to believe that!?"
Nupur turned smiling a little.
Cut to Gunjan
She wiped her tears feeling much better after crying.
Thinking of Dia and Dev she headed downstairs.
Hall
"Guys mujhey jaana hoga, RV ke pass" dia murmured to the rest of the gang.
"kyun? Rohan hai na" cj said.
"no I will b going, Uday can u book tickets for me?" dia asked softly.
"Ofcoz dids, and I will come along with u" uday replied.
"yeah thts right" CJ agreed
"Dia don't worry, I will take care of Dev" gunjan smiled.
"me too" CJ replied.
"thanks guys" Dia smiled tears glistening in her eyes.
Uday stood up and gave dia a small hug "cmon pack ur stuff, I will make arrangements" Dia nodded and entered her room.
"I will help her" Gunjan murmured and followed dia.
Cut to SaNu
"You didn't find it important to tell us, even mayank?" samrat said fuming anger as he stared at nupur, she seemed to be avoiding his gaze.
"Sorry" she mumbled.
"sorry? Damn It! So much happened with Maa, I thought I was not just a friend but family now, u just proved me wrong today" samrat said looking away feeling deranged of energy.
"forget abt me even gunjan?" samrat continued.
"I wanted to.. trust me, but matters were getting worst and I couldn't, I didn't" nupur started sobbing hard. In an instant samrat turned to her forgetting all abt his anger.
"Don't cry" he murmured as nupur sank on her knees.
"hey" samrat approached her and helped her stand again. "Its okay am here" he hugged her saying that.
"I didn't want to hide any of it" nupur sobbed "but mayank was so depressed and maa, I couldn't.."
"Its okay" samrat sighed wiping her tears "please stop crying"
Nupur heeded to his request and slowly her sobs turned into hiccups.
"Tell me everything, Since when has this been going on?" samrat asked glad tht she had stopped crying.
"Its been 4 months, maa wasn't well, we found her fainted many times" nupur replied her voice thick "we requested her to leave her job, she had high blood pressure and its effects, mayank was getting tensed and before I knew he was in depression-"
Samrat nodded.
"-I was too concerned for Maa, I didn't ...I didn't do well in office" nupur continued expressing regret in her lines "our team suffered and mayank was far more irritated, days passed and mayank worsened, even Maa she got a minor heart attack, we admitted her and the doctor told that she's suffering from Cardiovascular disease, when I suggested to mayank abt leaving the job, he..he" nupur stopped as she gulped hard.
"wat?" samrat spoke wide-eyed fearing next.
"He hit me" nupur gulped trying to breath.(plz imagine a slight push only nothing too harsh)
"No" samrat spoke not believing nupur as he stumbled a little.
"He did, he was depressed and on medicines, I was going to call u guys, but then mayank said sorry, It was one of those moments when he got too hard, and I understood him-"
Samrat didn't know wat to say, to imagine mayank do such a filthy thing was completely something his brain didn't register.
"-he even cooked dinner expressing his regret the next day" nupur smiled a little, and samrat flinched "I guess tht did it, it got mayank slowly out of his phase, the moment he realized how it was affecting our relationship, he tried to control his anger and irritation, he was fine then..Normal" Nupur ended."Its been one month, and he is fine" she smiled.
"and Maa?" samrat asked.
"She is not leaving her job, we don't know why..I guess oldage has taken away her brains" nupur flinched at her harsh words, she continued "mayank recently talked to her boss, they are going to tell her to retire"
Samrat sighed "that will only be for her better" Nupur nodded
"we have so many troubles, anyways lets go down, I guess dia needs us most right now" she said
Samrat nodded and the two headed out of their room.
"Nupur" samrat stopped her half-way through the corridor.
"yeah?" she turned.
Samrat held his hand infront of her.
"Promise me, u wont hide a thing from now onwards"
Nupur slid her hand into his "I promise" she whispered.
A different feeling settled in her heart as she hugged samrat "thanks"
"shut up" samrat stated simply.
"u r the best brother ever" she murmured.
"aur jiju?" samrat asked to lighten up the moment.
"Hmm" nupur broke the hug "U r good, but u troubled gunji so much"
"hmm and as ur devar?"
Nupur smiled "Perfect!"
Both of them smiled and headed downstairs though joy was instantly replaced with sadness as they met the gaze of their friends worried faces.
Chap Ends
Firstly pls dont throw stones and shoes at me hear me out first n then decide..
MAYUR u guys probably hv the shock of ur life tht mayu hit nupzi how on earth can i show tht n many other things buzzing in ur mind.
Mayank was in a phase, and ppl r lyk tht wen they suffer from depression they lose their temper at small small things...and for mayank it kept on increasin so he reached the higher stages not just irritation but also other stuff like he hit nupur in his phase...hitting doesnt mean punching or nything just a slight push u imagine plz.
For sajan yes i guess u all r shocked sajan are engaged, a very informal thing.. but not married...samrat's pov i tried to do justice.
Believe me i took so long bcoz i was doing a research on ppl who dont believe in marriage and was trying to understand their pov...only then was i able to write samrat's pov.
after so much of work...i hope u guys liked this update..
i tried my best...now it depends on ur reviews😊
Also the SaNu scene was intended to be a treat..as in MJHT bcoz of a horrible accident nupzi died and sam was drivin, none at fault.
lots of luv
ZeeJay!

"what?" samrat defended.
"I never thought I will be talking to u abt this"
"abt what?"
"well, when are you going to marry her?"
"ermm next year"
"samrat stop acting childish, u said the same last year!" nupur flashed her eyes at him.
"Alright calm down"
"I will calm down when u tell me wats the prob!" nupur yelled.
"There isn't a problem, its my tournaments, everytime something comes up"
"Do u actually expect me to believe that!? Samrat u have got a serious problem"
"why the hell are you so on and on about it?" samrat yelled back.
"Bloody Shit she's my sister for god damn sake! Why the hell do u think I placed the condition tht u wont touch her before marriage? I trust u guys but I knew tht u wont want to marry her coz u don't believe in marriage!"
"I don't, but I wont marry her just coz I desire her!"
"So u can live without touching her?
"No but "
"but what?"
"m not that religious alright, I don't believe in marriage, its just a bond formed by the bloody society" samrat replied.
"what?" nupur gaped.
Samrat turned heaving a sigh "My parents divorced each other and then dad married another woman, result suhani my stepsis! and then dad divorced that woman as well, he ruined the lives of 4 people, marriage is nothing but a legal paperwork, it ties to people to live together"
Nupur blinked softening a little she continued "Don't you see that its not only abt u but gunjan as well"
"I don't want a family!" samrat yelled.
"huh?" nupur was thoroughtly confused at samrat's sudden outburst.
"Aaj shaadi kal bachche, I don't want responsibilities on me! I cant handle it"
"Mayank aur main do saal se ek achhi shaadi shuda life ji rahe hain, hume to aisi koi prob nahin hui..kyun? woh isliye kyunki humne ek doosre se baat ki, halaat ko samjha aur-"
"-aur ek logical decision liya..par gunjan woh, use family chahiye, usne kaha tha mujhse"samrat said.
"tumne kya kaha?"
"main kya karta? Chup raha"
"If u don't want kids, then talk to gunjan abt it, but why don't u marry her?"
"u knw her nupur, if I marry her, she will change, she will depend on me, wud want to meet my family and she will change..she will..." samrat kicked the corner table and sat on his bed placing his head in his palms.
"but samrat that's not a solution at all" nupur softened.
"to main kya karun?" samrat groaned.
"dekho" nupur sat next to him "tum gunjan se is sab ke bare main baat karo, kya tumhe uski takleef nahin dikhti?"
"main jaanta hoon, par woh kyun nahin samajhti? Suhaani, mom dad woh mere liye important nahin hai, to main kyun unki baat karun?"
"woh nahin jaanti" nupur replied "usse lagta hai ki tum uske saath kuch share karna hi nahin chahte, jaise ki tum usse kuch chhupa rahe ho"
"kya?"
"haan, gunjan bohut bholi hai, you are right, probably gunjan will b a lot dependent on u after marriage, but who wont samrat? Kya tum isi dar se usse shaadi nahin karogey?"
"nahin maine promise kiya hai usse, ek tarah se sagai bhi ki, shaadi bhi karunga" samrat answered in deep thought.
Nupur sighed relieved "chalo jaan main jaan aaye" she said in her typical filmy tone.
Samrat smiled half-heartedly
"tumhari bhabhi hone ke rishtey se bol rahi hoon, gunjan se baat karo, woh tumhari baat zaroor samjhegey, aur use please aur wait mat karao abhi jao"
"kya?"
"hann woh apne kamre main hai abhi jao.."
"nahin abhi nahin"
"kyun?"
"sab theek hona chahiye, RV kuch din main aata hi hoga, tab chashmish ko surprise karte hain" samrat grinned.
"hmm baat to sahi hai tumhari, waise tum bhi na itni si baat ki wajah se meri behen ko itna pareshan kiya"
"sorry, par pehli bar mujhey samajh nahin aa raha tha ki main chashmish se yeh baat kaise karu, mujhey dar tha ki kahin main usse kho na dun"
"I understand" nupur whispered.
"achha tum mayank ko bula lo..Maa(shilpa aunty) bhi aa jaengey" Nupur's smile died.
"Woh busy hoga, aur maa ko doctor ne araam karne ko kaha hai"
"Nupur"
"hmm"
"Ab tumhari baari sach sach batao"
"Woh..ermm"
"Nupur!"
"hann?"
"The Truth"
"samrat aisi koi baat nahin hai" nupur turned.
Samrat smiled and mimicked her in the same pitched tone "Do you actually expect me to believe that!?"
Nupur turned smiling a little.
Cut to Gunjan
She wiped her tears feeling much better after crying.
Thinking of Dia and Dev she headed downstairs.
Hall
"Guys mujhey jaana hoga, RV ke pass" dia murmured to the rest of the gang.
"kyun? Rohan hai na" cj said.
"no I will b going, Uday can u book tickets for me?" dia asked softly.
"Ofcoz dids, and I will come along with u" uday replied.
"yeah thts right" CJ agreed
"Dia don't worry, I will take care of Dev" gunjan smiled.
"me too" CJ replied.
"thanks guys" Dia smiled tears glistening in her eyes.
Uday stood up and gave dia a small hug "cmon pack ur stuff, I will make arrangements" Dia nodded and entered her room.
"I will help her" Gunjan murmured and followed dia.
Cut to SaNu
"You didn't find it important to tell us, even mayank?" samrat said fuming anger as he stared at nupur, she seemed to be avoiding his gaze.
"Sorry" she mumbled.
"sorry? Damn It! So much happened with Maa, I thought I was not just a friend but family now, u just proved me wrong today" samrat said looking away feeling deranged of energy.
"forget abt me even gunjan?" samrat continued.
"I wanted to.. trust me, but matters were getting worst and I couldn't, I didn't" nupur started sobbing hard. In an instant samrat turned to her forgetting all abt his anger.
"Don't cry" he murmured as nupur sank on her knees.
"hey" samrat approached her and helped her stand again. "Its okay am here" he hugged her saying that.
"I didn't want to hide any of it" nupur sobbed "but mayank was so depressed and maa, I couldn't.."
"Its okay" samrat sighed wiping her tears "please stop crying"
Nupur heeded to his request and slowly her sobs turned into hiccups.
"Tell me everything, Since when has this been going on?" samrat asked glad tht she had stopped crying.
"Its been 4 months, maa wasn't well, we found her fainted many times" nupur replied her voice thick "we requested her to leave her job, she had high blood pressure and its effects, mayank was getting tensed and before I knew he was in depression-"
Samrat nodded.
"-I was too concerned for Maa, I didn't ...I didn't do well in office" nupur continued expressing regret in her lines "our team suffered and mayank was far more irritated, days passed and mayank worsened, even Maa she got a minor heart attack, we admitted her and the doctor told that she's suffering from Cardiovascular disease, when I suggested to mayank abt leaving the job, he..he" nupur stopped as she gulped hard.
"wat?" samrat spoke wide-eyed fearing next.
"He hit me" nupur gulped trying to breath.(plz imagine a slight push only nothing too harsh)
"No" samrat spoke not believing nupur as he stumbled a little.
"He did, he was depressed and on medicines, I was going to call u guys, but then mayank said sorry, It was one of those moments when he got too hard, and I understood him-"
Samrat didn't know wat to say, to imagine mayank do such a filthy thing was completely something his brain didn't register.
"-he even cooked dinner expressing his regret the next day" nupur smiled a little, and samrat flinched "I guess tht did it, it got mayank slowly out of his phase, the moment he realized how it was affecting our relationship, he tried to control his anger and irritation, he was fine then..Normal" Nupur ended."Its been one month, and he is fine" she smiled.
"and Maa?" samrat asked.
"She is not leaving her job, we don't know why..I guess oldage has taken away her brains" nupur flinched at her harsh words, she continued "mayank recently talked to her boss, they are going to tell her to retire"
Samrat sighed "that will only be for her better" Nupur nodded
"we have so many troubles, anyways lets go down, I guess dia needs us most right now" she said
Samrat nodded and the two headed out of their room.
"Nupur" samrat stopped her half-way through the corridor.
"yeah?" she turned.
Samrat held his hand infront of her.
"Promise me, u wont hide a thing from now onwards"
Nupur slid her hand into his "I promise" she whispered.
A different feeling settled in her heart as she hugged samrat "thanks"
"shut up" samrat stated simply.
"u r the best brother ever" she murmured.
"aur jiju?" samrat asked to lighten up the moment.
"Hmm" nupur broke the hug "U r good, but u troubled gunji so much"
"hmm and as ur devar?"
Nupur smiled "Perfect!"
Both of them smiled and headed downstairs though joy was instantly replaced with sadness as they met the gaze of their friends worried faces.
Chap Ends
Firstly pls dont throw stones and shoes at me hear me out first n then decide..
MAYUR u guys probably hv the shock of ur life tht mayu hit nupzi how on earth can i show tht n many other things buzzing in ur mind.
Mayank was in a phase, and ppl r lyk tht wen they suffer from depression they lose their temper at small small things...and for mayank it kept on increasin so he reached the higher stages not just irritation but also other stuff like he hit nupur in his phase...hitting doesnt mean punching or nything just a slight push u imagine plz.
For sajan yes i guess u all r shocked sajan are engaged, a very informal thing.. but not married...samrat's pov i tried to do justice.
Believe me i took so long bcoz i was doing a research on ppl who dont believe in marriage and was trying to understand their pov...only then was i able to write samrat's pov.
after so much of work...i hope u guys liked this update..
i tried my best...now it depends on ur reviews😊
Also the SaNu scene was intended to be a treat..as in MJHT bcoz of a horrible accident nupzi died and sam was drivin, none at fault.
lots of luv
ZeeJay!
