Part-5 - Cigarette, Hugs and fake Diamond
It was 7 p.m. everyone gathered at rastogi’s.. sona came down and pretended that she knew why rohit was late. Not once did their eyes met because they were trying their level best not to have an eye contact. Dinner was a silent affair. A month has passed and as usual this time none of them tried. The time has been able to stabilize there reactions though. After dinner his mom started “ I think it’s time you people think about marriage” her mom joined “I think last month rohit told you both are ready to take the next step.“ slowly everyone joined to present their thesis why they should think about marriage.
He squirmed a bit when his father said the reason they met first was for marriage so they had enough time and rohit tried to glance towards her. She has a poker face. No reaction at all. Ina normal situation sona would have reacted fiercely. Would have given him aglare with an text “you will not go alive from here unless you fix this.”
His aunt nishi meddled “sona since we are here I would want you to actually drop your career and join the family. It’s not really very ..you know …a career that sippy family member should pursue.” His mom nodded and ask her to think. If nothing else this did shock Sonakshi and she without wasting a second looked to her side towards rohit. Her eyes questioned “this is it…. You’ve nothing to add… why they let us meet in the first place”
He gathered himself and replied “we both will discuss and let you guys know and no one here is allowed to take any decision regarding any of our career. I repeat no one “ (this is the best he could do to defend sona and let her know he is still not over the issues)
They did escape the numerous questions but the doubt was already planted in their families. something was off they all knew. He didn’t try to get some alone time with her. She didn’t make sure if mushroom is there or not since rohit didn’t like non-veg and paneer. They didn’t even helped each other in dining table. Sonakshi was aloof.
Few days after he finished a surgery and just to take a break went to the terrace. It was almost evening. When he went there there was a lady standing in a patient cloth and looking at the setting sun.
As a doctor he knew what he has to do. From her figure he figured it out she is either pregnant or already delivered. He went casually stood close to the boundary wall of terrace. “may I help” he tried to sound as normal as possible“yes” she gave him a smile , a very normal one.
He chatted a while and realized she is in room 303(vip room) and delivered a baby girl this Saturday morning.
“congratulations” he said and she only nodded.
“how are you feeling “ he said.. she didn’t respond only kept looking towards the horizon.
“It’s very natural to feel a little nervous or dejected. We call it postpartum. You know you just need to keep calm. I swear it’s just a perception… “
She started weeping. He responded instantly “ heyyyyy…” he was compassionate and that reflected in his voice..
“I had an unavoidable pregnancy and for that I got married and here I’m.. 7 months after with a baby just at 27. Had to give up my job also because I needed complete rest for all 9 months. “
He said “so…”
“everyone thinks I’m the happiest that I got married to the person I wanted. After all complication also baby is okay. “ she continued as she wept suppressing her emotions.
“What did you wanted ?” he asked looking at her .
“I worked hard during my graduation and post-graduation. Worked diligently in tcs as hr for last 3 years. I figured the whole career and life graph but this one thing stopped me. No one really cared about my dreams when I wanted leave due to health issues. Specially my in-laws”
“you can always go back neha” he tried to assure her.
“they won’t let me. I’m like this setting sun. who has now no individuality or dreams. I wish I would have been able to get out of this” she cried openly
He asked hesitatingly” did you inform your husband immediately” and anticipated for her answer.
She moved her head as an answer no .” only when I came to know that it’snot possible to abort for some issues” she replied
He cheered her up and asked her to go against everyone even if she needs and resume her work from where it paused. He even suggest her some baby names.Made sure she goes down and informed at the reception to keep an eye on her as Patients are not allowed to come to terrace.
He attended the meeting and finished with his shift around 10. As he drove back to his temporary flat he kept thinking. The answers you try to find always comes back to you indirectly and he was smart enough to catch it.Obviously she was scared that everything will be blocked for her. It all made sense now that he had seen a real example.
If nothing else this time he was ready to at least have a talk and solve whatever they had.
He messaged her. Not once or twice but 43 times in one week. there was no response.
Not even one message was seen.
She went to shoot at London for special episodes. She came back and in the next meeting asked her producer/ channel to give her one or two week off as now they’ve enough content in advance. She was asked to shoot some of her part individually which will be adjusted with body double.
She didn’t open a single message and only replied “thank you for all those time. I think we need to move on. Lets find a way to inform to our families individually.”
He hated it. It’s like suddenly before he could get to understand her she dropped him from her life.
She had shoot for one more week and the she planned a solo trip for herself. She wanted a quite place. Her sister helper her. She decide bali as her sis herself went there for a work shop as she worked in a MNC. The booking and everything was done by her sis.
She went to bali on Thursday. A small guest house (inn) was booked where the 1st floor was for her. She reached from airport. She wore jeans shorts, a floral printed loose top which was sleeveless ( only straps) and a hat of yellow color. It was close to beach .. in fact the balcony faced toward the sea and there was no blocking. She got her luggage and she had to take the stairs but when she entered she saw a person coming out from ground floor room and he was smoking. It was rohit.
He was actually stopped in his tracks looking at her. She was surprised seeing him and also smoking. He knew she will be here but her dressing was unusual. He had never seen her in such a get up. When they both realised and grasped the truth she started going up as her luggage was already taken by the caretaker. He threw the cigarrate and stomped it with feet before actually running after her. All his planning of acting and explaining was now just royally got butchered by himself.
“nice to see your good habits” she said as a taunt
“I do it only under pressure” he said
As the caretaker explained her about room and she nodded asked questions. He tried his best to interfere and get some attention
She suddenly asked the care taker “is the ground floor tenant is allowed to disturb me ?” answer was no of course
He hated that she wore such revealing clothes and that too he only saw the first time. he was dragged down. She checked her messages where her sis has messaged her a long sob story which had the sorry word for 10 times. She knew why the devil was helping her.
1st day, 2nd day were wasted. Because she never came down and he passed all his times trying to figure out what she is doing .3rd day he has no patience . he directly went up. She was reading a book on balcony leaning on a chair.
“do you think it’s a joke. I am locked here . you won’t talk or say anything..i’m frustrated sona..kshi” he rambled
She looked up when he said Sonakshi but then again ignored.
He came down and just sat on the chair thinking if this whole thing will work out or not.
Around 4.30 she actually came down and walked out of the house. He followed being hopeful thinking he will get to talk. But she was still in sulking mode. All she did was walk and he followed in a few distance. She took out her sandal and hold it in hand letting the waves wet her feet. He did the same. When finally the sun was setting he was impatient but had no courage or strength .
He stopped and sat down folding his legs and facing the orange sky. She kept walking but could feel that he was not walking behind her. A strange fear crept inside her. Did he go back ? this is it ? she slowly turned to see and saw him sitting at a few distance … not too far but not too close. She walked back and sat adjacently just at a small distance. Looked at the same direction where he was looking. Very few people were on the beach. It appeared as if two people exhausted with life were trying to make things work. Couldn’t walk hand in hand but can’t separate ways also.
He initiated “I feel like it’s always me who was a little crazy and kind of dragged you into a relationship. At the end I have to convince you that I do love you.
I will never know how I managed to drag myself from Kanyakumari scrapping my vacation just to see you. I will never understand why every time you asked something I couldn’t deny. Guess I was just being selfish and trying to keep you all for myself.”
Not once he looked at her. It was getting dark.
She replied “ it’s not just you. Your aunt has taunted me few times about how we are not a match but I didn’t really tell because you might feel hurt. Every time you went into hiding after a surgery I wished and waited if in case you’ll need me. “
“Well.. nothing is really working this time. It really took some time to understand your position and when I finally did you are not ready to …“ he sighed
She stood up and began to leave and he suddenly stood up and called out her name .. she turned back he stood there with an anxious helpless face.
“if you do love me give me a hug !! please no… I need it.” He shouted so that she will hear it.
“same thing I wanted few months back.. you will just appear suddenly and give me a hug” she said in a shaky voice
His face dropped.. he knew she isn’t going to make it easy for him.
She came back to the inn and secretly wished he would just come back and continue the whole fight/ conversation so they would actually reach to a point.
10 min.. 20 min … 30 min … 3 hours he didn’t come back.. by that time she was worried.. she tried his phone but it was off. She came out and waited. Just looking curiously to anyone who is passing by… she panicked if he was in some trouble or what… the whole night passed… she woke up at 10 a.m.(she slept around 5) in the morning and ran to check if he is back.Now she went up called the care-taker and her whole body was trembling.suddenly while coming out of the room she saw him walking .
Without thinking twice she ran down the stairs and then on road towards him and she didn’t even realize that she was crying. He saw her and fastened his pace of walking she hugged him and he embraced her tightly. She was trembling and looked like a total mess.
As she tightly dipped her face onto his nape she asked “are you okay ?”
He hugged her more tightly and explained sweetly how near the beach a 52 year aged man had an heart issue and he had to help him and accompanied his scared family to hospital which was a little far for better facilities and then it was too late so he just waited for the morning. He just came back.
“what about phone ??” she asked without parting
“there was no iphone charger??” he answered
As she pulled from the hug he looked at her and suddenly went on his knees .. she looked at him curiously . he said “ I was never so sure about anyone in my life as much as I’m now. I would like to spent the rest of my life with you being your soulmate. Will you agree to be my soulmate .. partner for life time ?
Sonakshi rastogi if you ever decide to settle down will you marry me ?”
Her tears flowed flawlessly. He took out a simple ring which looked like a diamond ring. Suddenly the small crowd with only foreigners and local people started cheering “say yes” “so cuteee”
They stood in a small street that was the road to their guest house and also beach. It was almost 10.30 and their whole interaction had attracted a small crowd. They were so invested they didn’t even notice till now.
She actually nodded and offered her left hand ring finger not before saying "don't ever call me sonakshi ". he understood she liked when he called sona. He slid the ring swiftly and got up and hugged her. lifted her up and kissed her face side wise. She had nothing to complain because girls were gushing around them. Crowd cheered loudly.
“is this ring means that we had to get married tomorrow ?” she asked
“no…whenever we feel like “ he said as a matter of fact
“is this ring real ?” she again asked
“no” he smiled at her apologetically
She looked at him in anger as if right now she will kill him. “but you will get the real one exactly like this when I actually propose .. you know proper. This is just …when I saw the ring I wished to give it to you so I bought it and did propose impulsively.”
“Then what does this mean.. I said yes ?” she asked confused and a little disappointed.
“it means whenever you get married it has to be me “ he laughed and she gave him her famous deadly glare.. he started teasing her she looks like Parvati and the banter continued.
They finally had a normal day and slept peacefully until 4.50 p.m. of course after making love 😉
and they lived Happily ever after.........
(Author : no chanceeee😆)
When she got back she had 42 messages in personal no. 21 missed callsfrom her producer ex. He had 63 in his only no. they both looked at each other in shock.
Well she had no idea that her previous show was currently running in Indonesia as a dubbed show. Someone did recognize her and filmed the whole propose part and now it had gone viral in internet. the person was really happy as he got 5 million +views and 10000+ likes :D
“should I just say that this is not me ?” she asked him as she panicked
“if you are planning a future with me at this moment how will youjustify my presence in the video.. “ he was a bit mad. He didn’t like the whole hiding part ever.
He went up and started making coffee. As he mixed the warm water fromthe electric kettle with coffee his phone got a notification “SonakshiR tagged you in a picture” from insta
He clicked on it and it showed a pic of her ring in her hand with a caption “officially engaged” with a heart sign and he was tagged.
He turned and looked at her as she sat on the bed smiling . “well I want a real ring exactly like this and also a proper surprise propose… I’m not going to quit my profession at all” she demanded trying to be dominating and a bit cool !!
He laughed and nodded his face assuring her that everything will be okay as he is with her.
In the world the lived
Some commented “she is so lucky” few called her a opportunist. Her fans made the ship name #ronakshi being happy for sonakshi.
Her ex sat in the meeting where the channel program head pondered how come she is the only one who always creates difficult situations. Now they can’t even blame her directly as her would be Fathe-in-law is a good friend of the CEO of the channel.
Pooja replied to sona ‘s sister “thank god ..our plan worked “. Their families started preparing for an official ring ceremony and introduction of sona to everyone(poor souls they just decided not to rush anything).his colleague Mayank cursed a lil “I’m here working my ass off for him and dude is having fun with his sweetheart”
Regardless all this chaos they sipped their coffee planning how to spend the next four days and what they can do. They have no idea how much mess was waiting for them once they are back. 😅
