😛 HELLO!!! i know i said i won't be updating this till i finish "LOVE" but i can't see that happening any time soon as i love it too much 😆 😳 so i'm just going to continue with this one. The updates won't be regular because i have a lot of school work and exams and stuff but i will try and update as and when i get the time to 😛
I'm posting a double bill lmao 😆 its because Adi and Maihtili have seemed to dissappear off the face of this earth and from what it seems, the "creatives" aren't going to bring their track back anytime soon
Lekin, htere is still hope that AM will unite 😳 and right now, i shall stop rambling on and let you enjoy the parts 😳
Chapter 3
Parvati stopped Maithili and spoke
P: Beta…I'm sorry…I really am…if it weren't for me, adi would..
"nahi mamma…" maithili spoke turning round…
"you did nothing wrong…no one…knew…" Maithili spoke, her throat growing dry
M: mamma, you couldn't go against Om dadu…and I couldn't have gone against Adi…whatever happened was no one's fault, no one knew…
That was all Maithili could say. She turned round and closed her eyes, then slowly went inside.
******
Sitting on the breakfast table, she felt her appetite diminish as she heard sounds of laughter around her
Didn't these people know? Didn't they understand?
She felt selfish for thinking like that but she couldn't help it – today was his day yet nobody even bothered to speak of him. Nobody seemed to be mourning him, but she knew someone who would…
Slowly getting up, she made her way to the door…
"Aare! Kaha jaa rahi ho!" Chaya chachi's voice sounded
Maithili slowly turned round and muttered "Mayuri mamma ki ghar"
"Aare uske ghar kyu jaa rahi ho? Aaj koi khaas din hai kya? Ya phir tum uss manhoos Adi ko yaad karne jaa rahi ho?"
She felt rage inside her. Today, no one was to speak about him in that way. Parvati saw maithili get agitated and closed her eyes. Quickly opening them she spoke to Chaya…
"Chaya! Maithili jaha bhi jaati hai usse tumhey kya? Just leave her be."
Chaya opened her mouth to speak but Om intervened..
"Chaya tum chup raho! Aur maithili beta…tum jaao"
Maithili nodded at him and left.
No matter how much Maithili loved this family, she could still never completely forgive Om Agarwaal for his mistake. She never really held a grudge against him but still, every time he came in front of her, she couldn't help but think he was the cause of every thing going drastically wrong. Maithili would never speak to him for more than a space of 10 seconds, or even stand in the same room as him. She tried her hardest possible to hide the fact that she felt, in someway uncomfortable in front of him, but this never passed Om. He knew well what had happened and perhaps her feelings for him.
Om couldn't help but feel wrong. Even after the countless times Parvati had assured him that he did nothing wrong and even Maithili had done so - perhaps in a more reluctant way - he still felt the cause of it…all. He took it upon himself, that if he was to ever come over this guilt, he had to do something for Maithili, make her life happier…somewhat a little like before…but even he knew that this was impossible, for Adi was in Maithili and would be, till the day she died.
"Love that we can not have is the one that lasts the longest, hurts the deepest yet feels the strongest..."
William Shakespeare
Chapter 4
Maithili stood outside the Mehra mansion for just a minute before entering it, perhaps because she would face the woman whose son she loved…loves
Ringing the doorbell, she waited patiently. The door opened and Raghu kaka stood in front of her..
"arey bitia! Aagayi tum!…madam andar hai! Aao!" the servant greeted Maithili in. She smiled at him courtly and went to Mayuri's room. Once again, she inhaled deeply before setting foot into Mayuri's room
M: a…aunty??
Mayuri Mehra turned round and looked blank facedly at maithili.
Mayuri slowly got up and advanced towards Maithili.
She smiled weakly and touched maithili's cheek
"kaisi ho tum beta?" she asked as she withdrew her hand
"mai theek hoon" she meekly replied… "bas…uski yaad bohot aarahi hai"
Mayuri sadly nodded
Mayuri looked lovingly at her and gave her a warm maternal hug.
Maithili felt closer to Mayuri because of him. Somewhere after his death, her bond with Parvati had weakened and her bond with Mayuri had strengthened. Who would ever say that Mayuri would treat Maithili like her daughter one day, when all that Mayuri used to do was hate Maithili. But things were different now, Maithili herself was different. She was incomplete without him…a body without a soul…
Mayuri slowly handed her a book and pressed her hand on Maithili's.
"This is Adi's book beta, I…I want you to have it. He's written somethings in it that I think you should read…"
Slowly opening the book, Maithili read his scribbles on the first page…
" You live once and die once so make sure you're remembered…"
Vikram Aditya Mehra.
~~~
"Adi…" the name escaped from her lips almost like a plea…
Stretching her hand out, she jerked up from her bed.
Staring at herself in the mirror, after a long minute, she realised where she was. Sighing and pulling her loose hair back, she closed her eyes. Her mind reverted back to those nightmares time and time again…they had to stop.
Slowly, Maithili got up and strode to her dresser. She picked up a thick black bound book and smiled at it.
"Vikram Aditya Mehra.." she whispered, reading the name on the first page. A warm smile danced upon her lips as she sat down and lifted a pen.
She paused between her scrabbling and looked at the mirror in front of her. She closed her eyes and let the past memories fill her mind again.
Na hai yeh pana
Na Khona hi hai
Tera Na hona jane
Kyun hona hi hai
Tum se hi din hota hai
Surmaiye shaam aati
Tumse hi
Tumse hi
Her mind reverted back to college re-union dance. She smiled as she remembered him take her there
"Adi!! mujhe waha nahi jaana!" Maithili moaned at Adi
"Oh come on! I want people to see we're together! That'll shock them for sure!" he chuckled
"Oh I'm sure it will! We used to hate each other in college!" Maithili said, laughing a little herself
"yes yes…all because of toad-face sand!"(Buffalo)
Maithili giggled at him while he hugged her.
~~~
Maithili came down in a white and blue dress for the party that evening.
Adi stood mesmerised as he saw her coming down.
"kya hua?" she whispered to him
he simply placed his hands on her cheek and kissed her forehead.
"you look…breath-taking…"
Maithili blushed and followed him to the car
~~~
"oh my god! Are they dating??"
"did he ask her out??"
"they used to hate each other in college!!"
"na jane kya jaadu chalaya hai uss maithili ne, ke humara Adi phas gaya!"
Lots of voices were heard as Adi and Maithili walked into the hall hand in hand.
Hope you all enjoy these parts...😳
