Chapter 5
Guddan came out of the washroom and slept on her side of the bed not even glancing at AJ. She had her back towards him and he was sitting and staring at a blank laptop. It's been half an hour now and guddan had her eyes closed but sleep was far away from her.
Just then phone rang. It was AJ's phone.
Akshat: kya baat hai. How are you? So late in the night.
After hearing the caller
Akshat: ok i am on my way.
Guddan heard the conversation and sensed it was nobody from the family and assumed it to be his friend. Akshat got up from the bed and changed. He thought guddan is sleeping so he didn't bother her and left.
It's been 2 hours since akshat has left and guddan couldn't sleep. She was tossing in the bed and finally she got up. She got thinking where could he go at this hour of the night. She opened her phone and checked her Instagram account. The very first picture in her feed shook her to the core and all the tears that she had controlled throughout the day flowed down her eyes. As she was alone in the house she screamed her heart out.
The picture she saw was from AJ's friends account with the caption college reunion and it was posted 15 minutes ago. She opened his profile and that friend was live. She joined and saw AJ in that. She again started crying as he was enjoying and had no regret of forgetting their anniversary.
It was 9 am and AJ came back home. He sensed that his family was not home. He went to his room and went to freshen up. When he came back he saw guddan still sleeping.
Akshat: ise Kya hua abi tak soyi hai. Mere washroom jaate he to ye jaag jaati thi. Tabyat to theek hai iski.
He went near the bed and saw she was sleeping in an uncomfortable position with phone in one hand. He saw she had tear stains on her face and while he was looking at her he twisted his foot and landed on the bed just on her side. His hand touched her hand.
Akshat: ye to bukhar se tap rahi hai.
With his slight touch she woke up and went to his cupboard.
Guddan: aap fresh hogaye. Main kapde nikalti hun aapke.
Akshat: mujhe aaj office nai jaana hai
Guddan: ok and went to her cupboard.
Akshat: tum apne kapde kyun nikal rahi ho. Aaj university jaane ki zaroorat nai hai bimar ho tum. Waise itna bukhar kaise hua.
Guddan didn't answer and put her clothes on the bed.
Akshat: main kuch keh raha hun jawab to do. Kal raat ko sab theek tha achanak se itna fever.
She ignored and took her towel in the hand. Akshat lost his cool and pulled her by the elbow.
Akshat: sunayi nai deta hai.(still holding her elbow) pooch raha hun na tabyat itni kharab kaise hui aur ye kya halat hogayi hai tumhare chehre ki. Have you been crying.
Guddan: aapko dikh gaya(laughing through her tears). Yes I have cried.
Akshat: lekin kyun
Guddan: kyun, pooch rahe hain aap Akshat Jindal ji. Yes I have cried because my husband didn't remember our 1st anniversary. Not that I expected anything massive but a simple wish in a text was sufficient. But THE AKSHAT JINDAL is a workaholic, unhe kaam k aage kuch nahi dikhta( akshat had left her elbow and now she was holding his collar). Itna kaafi nai hai to aur batati hun. Even though Maine is sab k baad bhi kuch nahi coz I am the one who has to understand always. You went and left me alone in the house for the entire night for your reunion and then you have the guts to come in the morning and dictate terms to me Mr. Jindal.
Guddan left his collar and folded her hands saying " Dekhiye mera aaj bahut important din hai aur aapke saath koi b argument kr k main apna mood kharab nahi krna chahti". She went to the washroom wiping her tears.
Akshat was rooted to his spot. He had never seen guddan so fierce and talking in this tone. But then he realized they have never talked to each other for this long. There have been small talks (yes, no, ok). That's it.
His trance was broken by the ringing phone. It was guddan's phone and it was his mother so he received.
