Part 21
She was still gazing down at rocks. Her hand was freed from his hand. He was turned away from her. She felt the grip of his hand was loosened. She looked towards him with pleasing eyes. He was still burning with rage, for being broken his trust, she had towards him. He takes a heavy breathe and walks away from there without taking a second glance towards her. She looked him leaving feeling defeated. She cursed her destiny, she cursed herself for being there that night. If she was not there, she thought, this day would be a happy day in her life, happy because Milind would never leave her forever and ever. She falls down, kneeling and bending, crying out loudly for the small mistake, why should I do that, I can't live without him, she hiccups, Milind I can't let you know that my life is in danger, I also don't why and who is trying to do this. This our fate Milind, we are not made for each other. Her tears drops spilling on the rocks, making it wet…………………….
The darkness has covered up the evening skies very early. Due the cloudy weather, even the moon had not shown up, making the place more dark. He stood in the terrace, staring at the dark skies. He was getting flashes of their happy moments together.
I hurted her, he thought,
maybe I didn't understand her, I can't live without her, he gulps down his sadness,
I'm not going to hurt her, god plz , make her to give me one more chance, so I could………………………………………….
He dials her number, but doesn't move his hand towards his ear, but cuts of immediately, he stares up again. This is not going make, I will talk to her directly. Prachi, plz forgive me…………………………………………………………………
Next day morning, Milind made his way to Shah Mansion, avoiding Sukruthi. He did not feel right to tell everything which has just happened to Sukruthi. She already found out that something fishy going around, and already informed that matter to Ayesha. As soon as he reached, there he was surrounded by Ayesha.
"what's the matter, Milind why did you come so early." He ignored them and made his way straight towards where Prachi was standing.
"need to talk to you Prachi, will you spare some time." Prachi saw him astonished. She did not know what to answer him. Even before she could reply…….
"Prachi, why don't you'll go to the garden and speak out. Milind want to talk to urgently itseems." Neev appeared suddenly from upstairs.
Both of them are in the garden. Milind was sitting in the swing and Prachi was standing beside the swing with her head bowed down staring at the grass.
'Prachi I shouldn't have done like that, I know that it hurted you so much, it also hurted me very badly. Will you forgive me, Prachi." Prachi lifted her head and looks at him, a lone tear drop, falls on her cheek and was about to fall down, but Milind catches it in his palm preventing it falling down. "I'm the main culprit for this, Prachi. I thought you………………………….sorry Prachi,"
"Milind you never did anything wrong, I'm only the fool here. I shouldn't make any fuss out of this. I couldn't sleep last night properly. I was thinking about you, that how much hurted you were………………. I didn't properly knew that you cared for me a lot." Prachi wipes her tears and starts leaving the place. But Milind stops her catching her hand and pulls back. He cups her face with his hands.
"do you love me PRachi, don't say no. becoz I love you and I can't live without you." Prachi frees herself from him and hugs him tightly, he puts his hands around her waist. They were feeling warmth of the hug for the first time. But inside their minds there was still the events were circling in their minds.
(red for PRachi, blue for Milind.)
Sorry Milind, I have to hide the truth from you. Half baked knowledge is dangerous. So still I find out everything for myself I won't tell you anything Milind.
I know you Prachi that you are hiding something from me. I myself will find out everything about this. I didn't want to force on you Prachi, that's why I'm normal today, I want you forever and ever PRachi . you are part of my life. Can't afford to loose you.
After sometime they break from the hug and Milind starts caress her cheek and places a kiss on her forehead. He couuldn't take his eyes away from her face. She just shut her eyes, not able to face his piercing looks. He gently places a soft kiss on her lips. She jerks and pushes him and was about to run, but he stops her from running away. "Prachi, don't blush too much, be normal. If not that Chudale Ayesha doubts something, actually she is from 'Sherlcok Holmes' blood. By just smelling she can sense that something fishy is going."
"Milind she's sis, don't tease her like that." Prachi hits him on the chest playfully. Both of them goes inside retaining their smiles which they lost a few days ago. Once inside both were shocked to see that everyone were present there strangely looking at them. Milind's face turns into anger.
"hey, Sukruthi why do you follow me like a Hutch dog ah. That dog is better then you", Sukruthi flungs with anger "why can't I come here, tell me. If it's you friend's house. Then it is my friend's house also. And I find no reasons for not coming here."
"ok,ok stop fighting , you two", PL pulled Sukruthi from attacking her brother and contiues. "Karan, what about our estate in Panchgani, did you forget about it. When are you going there for inspection and all." She looked at him seriously. "ma, I'm also going with Karan bhaiyya", Ayesha looked pleasingly towards her mother. "you stup up, first you settle your family matters, now your married." PL was about to leave. 'mom why don't we all go for a picnic there. Anyhow Prachi's birthday is in this week. Why don't we celebrate her birthday day for a change. But wait on one condition I'm going with you'll ", "what"Ayesha jumped from the sofa. "Milind and Sukruthi will also be coming this time with us", "but…………", 'no buts and no ifs. It's Karan bhai's orders". Milind could not say anything against him, he just nodded his head.
