"You are the most eager groom Arjun "Sameer teased his best friend who was cribbing about all the rituals
"Wait till you get married Sam, I will take my revenge Arjun style and you will regret the day you teased me"
If Sam was teasing Arjun , Shree was getting beaten by Riya
"Riii, its your wedding , Hitler avatar nahi dikhana hai ..thoda to sharam kar "
"Sharam , tum aur Arjun dono mile hue the and bahut mazaa aaya hoga tumhe"
"Samjh Riya , Woh Samje ya Samjhun jab apni badi nadi annkon se dekhta nahi Ghoorte hain toh haan automatically ho jata hai . Mere koi galti nahi "
Another pillow came towards him and hit him on his nose
"Hey Bhagwaan , tum dono violent log ho pata nahi kya hoga dono ka "
*******************************************************************************
It was her wedding day and like all brides she felt both the anticipation as well as the nerves associated with it. She knew that like all brides, she had never looked better in her whole life but still she knew she had to wait for that one look of appreciation from him.
The nerves were still there but still the thought of Arjun being there for her calmed her down. It was true then everything happens for good and even the harsh realities that she had faced in life had worked for better.
Yet at this point of time she could help and remember Abhi, how different would things be. She had loved him and that remains a static. With everything said and done everything had burned forever but should Arjun be a part of this, she wasn't sure of.
Picking up the phone she decided to call him. She knew that it was ridiculous, after all they were getting married in sometime and he was already on the way to her house for the wedding ceremony but she needed to talk. And he didn't disappoint for he picked up in two rings.
"Riya is everything alright"
She felt silly now to call him but unknown to her Arjun was still worried that she might back out.
"Arjun, are you sure about it . I have a past and it will always be there, we won't able to erase it .I don't want you a take a decision and then repent it "
"I have never been so sure of anything else Riya "
She smiled and felt proud of him " I guess wedding jitters just freaking me out and also people have disappointed me the past "
"You have never done it, but please promise me that you never will
As the words sink in the part of him which he had always slammed down rose again and with much difficulty he had replied to her " I never will stop loving you Riya "
It wasn't a lie but it wasn't something which she was seeking an answer. The door on her end flung open and the call got disconnected. He stared the phone for about 5 minutes before heading out of the car. They had reached the venue.
The moment had passed, for the best or for the worst he was yet to decipher
She could see a crowd of people as she descended from the stairs but a pair of black eyes caught her attention. The nerves had made way to anticipation of her future life. She was glad that she was marrying someone as truthful and honest as Arjun for he had always been by her side.
As she sat down next to him, Arjun couldn't help but look at her from the corner of his eyes. Her hands were just next to his and he held it as promising to never let her go. He heard the soft laugh from her which was stopped just as it began but it was all it took for a smile to come across his face
The priest began to say the marriage rites but Arjun then made some vows to himself, more important than any other one he had ever made. He had given her enough pain and now it was only happiness that she deserved.
Before they knew it they were officially declared as married, man and wife.
It was awkward to say the least. They were standing in front of each other in Arjun room, staring at one another
Or I should say my room, she thought. The past 3 days had been so hectic that it really hadn't hit her that she was going to have to live here from now on. Like the whole mansion even the room was magnificent and made more beautiful by the decorations
Arjun hugged her from behind and inhaled her scent "You like it "
She turned towards him and kissed the edges of his lips before murmuring "I love it "
He could see her face glowing under the moon where as her eyes full of nervousness. The last time they had been together it wasn't he would exactly call as love for she was passive partner. Their union today was to something they both desired. He held her waist to push her more nearer to him and in process she gasped when it touched her bare waist.
It was tender kiss at first, just the slightest of touches and she felt his breath whisper against her lips. She knew that she was restraining too hard and pushed her self so there wasn't any space between them. Her hands went around his neck while she clutched on to him . The One act of hers broke his self-control .He picked her up only to lay her down on to the bed while his lips were creating wonders on her . He touched her everywhere he could, for she was so perfect in his arms. The way her breathing hitched when he pressed his lips to her jaw or the slight tremor in her fingers as they explored his back, everything made him want her more.
Within moments they had taken off each other's clothes despite her not even realizing it It was only when she felt him on her skin had she woken from whatever Arjun had built around her . The night on the beach had been like a firecracker burnt and gone but this moment was like a flame that will continue to burn till both are exist
He propped himself on his elbows to cast a glance at her, her lips swollen, ragged breaths and smuged sindoor
"You are beautiful sweetheart and all mine "
"All yours" was what she had managed to say for the need to belong to him had already clouded her senses
"Please Arjun "
It was this moment that he had been waiting for, the day when they would have all rights on her and she would be the one to ask him to claim her in mind, body and soul .
Even as he moved within her, he wanted the moment to go on and on. He tried but it was impossible to be near her and have any control. Their movements were in perfect synchrony with their ragged breathing as they whispered each other's names. It was a matter of few moments later when he felt there body surrender to the inevitable.
He slid out of her and held her in his arms waiting for her to catch her breath before they started all over again .
The time wasn't a measure for they were expressing their love to each other in every way they knew. He saw her drooping eyes and pressed a tender kiss against her temple while whispering,
"Everything that I am and everything I have is yours. There is nothing more that I desire now "
With one final look at his new bride he closed his eyes in hope that from now on their morning would be brighter
But little did he know that she had heard his words and the sweet words caused a tear to leak out of her eye
PRESENT
A month had passed since the fateful day and it wasn't the only reason of rejoicing for the team. It was Shree wedding and there was loads of pending tasks to be completed.
Like it all happens with all couples, every marriage ceremony reminds them of their own and the same happened with everyone there.
Inspite of Riya being present with him throughout the month yet he could feel the restraint in her every step, was she stopping herself or contemplating whether to let it go he didn't understood. Riya Dutta was an open book to him but Riya Rawte had locked herself making it difficult for him to understand what was going in his mind.
Soon after they had returned from their honeymoon had she dragged him to the store to buy a dog tag and got the their anniversary date engraved there .
"See now you don't have any excuse to forget our anniversary "
"Riya , what if you forget where . Do we need to buy something for you "
"Mr Arjun Rawte, you will wish me then automatically I will remember"
"I have a bad effect on you Riya "
"Damage Done Mr Rawte"
Unknowingly his hand reached towards the dog tag hanging on his neck and a tear drop made its way. Things will never be same between then or will she give them a second chance was what he was waiting for.
****************************************************************************************
He walked back to the house bidding farewell to Sameer .He had made up his mind to talk with her. She was the only girl he had loved and he couldn't let her go. As he stormed into his house he was hit with the sense of emptiness. He knew that very moment that she wasn't home and that she had left.
He ran upstairs, hoping against hope maybe she was still there and what it felt was just a wrong intuition. He wanted to believe that maybe, just maybe, she would be there waiting for him.
But as he reached their room, he faced the truth.
There wasn't a single thing of hers in the room. Everything that he had got her was still there but everything that belonged to her was gone. She didn't leave a single trace of herself which he could hold on too. The helplessness which he felt today wasn't the same when he saw Riya together with Abhi but it was much more he could handle .He didn't scream or sink to the floor but he just froze in grief which couldn't be expressed .
He remembered what Sameer had said
"Karma is a bitch and it would come back to haunt you and make you pay for your sins". It came back today to haunt him and scar him forever
So you finally left, he thought with surprising clarity. He felt his heart stiffen as if suddenly cold and immersed in ice. The pain made him numb as he finally accepted the reality.
It took him a while to notice the letter that sat on the dressing table but the moment he saw it he knew it was from her. The divorce papers were kept next to the letter signed and acknowledged by the court.
With haunting calmness he picked it up and began to read the letter.
Dear Arjun
I love you. I've been meaning to say these words to you for so long.
Riya
****************************************************************************************
She looked out of the window; the hustle bustle of the city reminded her of a place not so different but yet the same city. The same city which taught her to survive was now miles away. She was all alone here with no family and friends to be with and no one who could make her feel loved.
This was the life she had chosen for herself. She could not be with anyone else but Arjun but it wasn't in her destiny to be with him. It was easier to forgive a friend, a lover but not a soul mate and she knew what Arjun meant to her. Riya Dutta had her principles, she believed in him, trusted him but the fact was miles away from it. Riya Rawte could still forgive her husband but Riya couldn't forgive Arjun for deciding what course her life would take even if was for the best
