Last Chapter 17 Part: 1

Goa

"And now the last and the most anticipated award tonight for Best Editor In chief goes to ...Mr. Varad Agnihotri for Pune Times." Announced the host and handing over the microphone to Varad after giving him a memorabilia and a bouquet.

"There are many people whom I would like to dedicate this award to. I am grateful to my step mother who raised me as her own in spite of the ugliness and evil she bared at my father's hand but never let us face the dark side of life. I would like to thank my biological mother who gave birth to me and blessed me from heaven. I would also be grateful to my brother and his new bride for making me realise how short life is to waste on getting redemption through revenge. Most of all I would like to thank god for sending a beautiful angel my daughter Kavya and my lovely wife Sojal for making my life more and more beautiful by each passing day. At last I would like to thank my staff for bearing such a tyrant boss and hard task master such as myself and giving me their best leading me to be EDITOR IN CHIEF OF THE YEAR" concluded Varad in his award acceptance speech.

All the guests proceeded towards the ball room where a party was being hosted in honour of all the awardees. Sojal and Varad were standing over a corner 10 feet apart in silence when Ramona waltzed towards Varad wearing a really revealing scarlet red sexy number splitting from thigh showing her perfectly toned leg. "Congratulations darling even though it was no surprise" said Ramona kissing Varad on both his cheeks and turning towards Sojal saying "Darling do you mind if I steal your husband for a dance." "Since when do you ask for permission for stealing my husband but you go ahead he is all yours" said Sojal in a seething voice stalking out of the ball room. She was about to leave when a guy stepped in front of her blocking her exit saying "It's a shame to see a beautiful lady leaving the party so early and alone. Can I convince you to stay for a dance?" Sojal got irritated and was about to tell the guy who slightly resembled Gulshan Grover to buzz off when she saw Ramona and Varad deeply engrossed in conversation and then changed her mind saying "I would love to dance with you".

"By the way I am Raj. I am a photo journalist for Delhi Beat. And you are?" said Raj in a charming voice to which Sojal replied "I am Sojal. I am not a journalist or anything like that. I am here with my husband" said Sojal not giving everything away to a guy she just met. "Oh damn you are married. I guess your husband is a fool to just let you leave like this alone. If..." said Raj to which Sojal stopped him mid way for blasting her husband for whatever was happening between them still he was her husband jumping to his defence "It's not like that okay. He was busy with some acquaintances and I was not feeling well and didn't want to disturb him so I decided to leave to get some fresh air. And if you insult my husband one more time then I am out of here". "A sassy little thing aren't you? I can see you are one of those desperate house wives who pine for their husband's love and attention while he is out enjoying himself. Let me ..." said Raj when an angry Sojal tried to free herself from that creep realizing that they were dancing in an isolated corner of the ball room out of every one's sight. "How dare you say something like that? How dare..."said Sojal hitting Raj on his shin and scratching his face like a lioness. Raj was still holding Sojal in his cruel grip by one hand in his embrace and other on her buttock saying "You ungrateful bitch. I was just trying to cheer you up seeing a pretty little thing ..." Suddenly Sojal was free from his grip when she saw her usually quiet and calm husband punching Raj like hulk possessed not letting him get up or recover from his lethal blows and bout. It took three men to free Varad from Raj who looked ready to be admitted to hospital with at least three fractures, a lost tooth, a concussion and a broken rib. Sojal saw death in Varad's eyes who took her by arm dragging her towards the elevator. He stopped and took out his dinner jacket and put it around Sojal angrily. Sojal started protesting and shrugging of his jacket when Varad gave her murderous expression and pressed stop button of the elevator and stopping the elevator midway. He shoved Sojal on the opposite side of the elevator making both of them visible on the mirror in front of them. Sojal saw herself in mirror seeing red angry bruises on her arms which she now realized Varad was trying to hide with his jacket who himself was looking deshelved from his fight. Sojal tried to free herself from his pain ful grip wildly making them very close to each other suddenly realizing Varad staring at her intensely and was descending down his face towards her as to kiss her. Sojal tried to dodge his kiss by trying to turn her face but Varad was quick for as he turned her face making her recipient of his hungry and passionate kiss in which they both poured their anger, frustration, love and lust.

After few minutes Varad released Sojal when both of them gasped and trying to catch their breath, leading towards few minutes of thick tension and heavy silence in the elevator. "Will you tell me what was that all about?" asked Sojal who was red with shame and ager from head to toe to which Varad replied "Oh Sojal don't be so innocent you know, when two people bring their lips..." making her angrier and more shameful for her behaviour. "I know how to kiss. I was asking about what happened earlier in the party. You were hitting that guy. In all these years I have known you I never knew you to be violent or even a jealous bone in your body. I know you don't love me or even care or like me. So why this sudden husbandly possessive behaviour on your part in this farce of marriage? I know that things between us will never change. I can't forgive you or you can't see me anything other then a wife stomped on you in an arrange marriage by your parents. Are you scared I will leave you and take your daughter with me? Because if so, look as I told you earlier I will never leave you or take your daughter away. And now I don't care whom you sleep with as now I don't have any expectation from you...Why are you laughing?" paused Sojal after a really long speech seeing Varad laugh uncontrollably not realizing what he was finding so funny to believe . Varad once again took Sojal in his arms and forcefully kissed her on her cheeks first and then on mouth and then after gazing at her with adoring eyes he said "Okay I was not going to say a word to you till later but now I can't control myself. All this stuff between Ramona and I is fake. Yes, you heard it right. All this affair stuff and your suspicion was mine and Aai's plan to bring us closer and make you realize your love for me. Let me explain. I fell in love with you the moment I saw you standing on your balcony in your home at Kolhapur thinking no one saw you but secretly waiting for my arrival and see your future groom. But we were not allowed to talk or meet before our marriage so I couldn't court you properly. I thought after our marriage I will take you out like on a millions of date and then we will confess our love to each other if you fell in love with me of course. Don't worry I was not assuming you will love me instantly but I never imagined that after marriage your life will revolve around my family instead of me. Your entire focus was to please Aai and Baba and aim in life was to be their perfect Daughter In Law. This created a rift between us and over the years it widened. As you got pregnant with Kavya I thought now we will come close for sure as I had heard a child bring its parents closer and make their bond unbreakable. But the totally opposite thing happened to us, after Kavya you got more busy and distant and I also became focused on my career so the gap between us widened and nobody was making any efforts. But recently things changed and after the night you seduced me I became hopeful for us. The next morning Aai returned from her trip and so I confided to her about the truth of our relationship which she apparently knew from the start and she promised to help me win you if I followed her plan from start till end. Aai laughing titled it Saat Din Chokri In'. I was sceptical about it first but then I saw you making an effort for pleasing me by bring over lunch to office and wearing my sarres. But Aai told me you are doing this out of fear of loosing me instead of love so she came up with this plan to make you jealous and suspect me of having an affair. My friend and colleague from office Ramona decided to help me after I asked her to be a part of my plan. You don't know how happy I was to see you jealous of her in my office that day. It was our plan to hint you about Ramona coming to Goa with me as I wanted you to come with me from the start but I knew if I asked you to come directly you would think of some excuse about leaving Kavya alone so I used reverse psychology on you and you came. We also plan that episode in the suite earlier but what we didn't expect for you to get so mad and threaten her and also me. Tonight was going to be the grand finale where we planned to dance with each other and making you so jealous that you would give up your pride and snatch me out of her arms and confess your love to me. But what I didn't anticipate that the table would turn on me and I will be the one to get jealous, give up my pride, snatch you from that creepo's arms, beating the bejesus out of him and confess my love for you in a hotel elevator. I love you. I have always loved you. And I plan to love you always and forever. So Mrs. Sojal Varad Agnihotri will you do the honour of becoming my lover, friend , philosopher , guide by forgiving me for not making an effort each and every day of my life to love and treasure you?"

Varad was on his knees in that elevator, saying perhaps the most honest and difficult confession of his life eagerly waiting for Sojal to say something was still reeling from the shock he gave her. "Yes. And I love you too. I forgive you and also ask for your forgiveness for ignoring our relationship for sake of worthless things in life like your parents' approval before trying to gain your love and trust. I now realise all these things didn't even matter in comparison to our marriage. I never realized the depth of your feelings towards me as I always thought of you to be distant and aloof from me. It was love at first sight for me as well when I saw my Prince Charming getting down from his white BMW instead of a white horse and asking me for turning on the fan as he was sweating only now realizing this. I have always loved you Varad even if I never said or did anything about it. I now know it was my biggest mistake not to kiss you Good Morning and Good Night everyday. But now I promise you to kiss you in the morning and hug you before you leave and after you come from office to again kiss you good night. And it will be a good morning by waking up to you in your arms and good night sleeping in arms dreaming about you. Also do y honestly answer me this: Nothing ever happened between you and Ramona?" said Sojal with slight tears in her eyes with such great conviction making Varad believe her each and every promise. "Yes. Dear I swear on you and Kavya , nothing happened between us and nothing ever will happen with any other women as I have my eyes only for you however cheesy as it sounds. I promise you there will be no one for me. I promise to you a happy and lovely future to you" said Varad making Sojal cry with big fat tears rolling down her eyes and dream about their upcoming future with each other. "Varad there is something I want to tell you about Aai..."
