A Blast from the Past- An Unwelcome Guest

Hello Everyone! I am back! Sorry it took so long to deliver my promise. But sumayyah1 reminded me that I should continue what I started. So here it is. It's an SS on Virika! This too starts on the night of Dabbu's wedding but the story will go in a completely different direction. There will be some new entries and some twists that some of you may not like. But I have had this idea for a while and I want to see how it goes down with everyone. So here goes Part 1!

Jeevika felt like a weight had been lifted off her shoulders. Swamini Bua had forgiven her and she again felt like a wife to Viren. In the past few days whenever she looked at him she didn't feel like she was looking at her husband. His attitude, his behavior, his anger, everything about him made him seem like a stranger. She didn't know what to expect with him anymore. And this really saddened her because she used to know him like the back of her hand.

But everything was fine now. They were fine. They were a family again. And she was going to go back home with him the next day. She smiled at the thought of how now Rishikesh didn't feel like home anymore. Chandigarh was home. Chandigarh was where she wanted to be. With her husband. With her family.

Just as she was thinking about all this Jeevika spotted a face she didn't want to see. Not today atleast. "What on earth is she doing here?"

Jeevika walked across the room and made her way to the entrance. Blocking her way to the room Jeevika said' "What are you doing here?"

"Hey Jeevika! How are you?"

"Don't be coy with me Sheena! Tum yahaan kya karr rahi ho?"

"Tumhaare bhai ko wish karne aayi hoon, aur kya? Tum mujhe pasand nahi karti, lekin Dabbu. Who toh aaj bhi meri koi bhi baat maanega. After all main uski badi behen ki itni acchi friend jo hoon." Sheena smirked.

"Tum aur main dono Jaante hain ki hum friends nahi hain. Kabhi nahi they. Aur Dabbu se tumhe koi farak nahi padta. Yeh sab games college tak theek they. But ab hum college mein nahi hain. I don't want you here. You should leave."

"I will. But ab aayi hoon toh sabse ek baar milke hi jaaungi." Sheena started to walk towards the bride and groom and there was nothing Jeevika could do to stop her. She couldn't tackle her in the middle of the wedding hall. Suddenly Sheena stopped in her tracks and turned around, "Heard you were tried for murder. Way to go jeevs. And here I always thought I'll be your first victim. Hey Maanvi!"

Jeevika turned around and saw Maanvi fuming at Sheena. Maanvi was about to slap Sheena when Jeevika stopped her and let Sheena go.

"Mannu jaane de."

"Di! Aap sunte kyun ho iski. Sheena hamesha se aapse chidti thi. Aapne use andar kaise aane diya?"

"Chodd na Mannu. Dabbu ko wish karke chali jaayegi. Humaare parents best friends they. Use Beeji ne bulaaya hoga. Beeji ke guest ki insult thodi na karr sakti hoon. Jaane de."

Just as Jeevika and Maanvi were having this conversation Jeevika heard someone call her name. "Jeevika! Viren kahaan hai? Hum bohot der se use dhoondh rahe hain. Humein toh kaheen dikh hi nahi raha!" Swamini was trying to get Jeevika's attention.

"Buaji aap rukiye. Main dekhti hoon."

Jeevika scanned the wedding hall but couldn't spot Viren. She looked for him in all the rooms and even went to his car but couldn't find him. His car was right there but Viren was nowhere to be seen. She called his phone but Viren didn't attend the call. Instead he cut the phone. Now Jeevika was worried. This was not like Viren. He never vanishes like this.
