Part 4
The next morning Raghav opened his eyes and woke up and slowly sat up, he leaned over to her side of the bed.
For a while he was looking at her side of the bed because it was amusing for him, The Raghav Rao who never wanted any woman in his life was now going through hell for a specific woman. He never imagined of him going this crazy for something other than wanting his family back. He always thought that women were supposed be like leeches. Well it was not his fault either as all the woman he came across were like that. But then came a woman who without any notice destroyed all his walls which were surrounding his heart. And he knew for she never liked him from the start infact he was the first person she ever came to hate. Her life was already a mess. And he was making it more difficult.
Was it all from the beginning or it started after his marriage. Well all these thoughts are of no use as he is already in love infact madly in love with that woman or his wife Pallavi if you want to say it more specifically.
Raghav took his phone from the side table and thought of calling Pallavi while past night's happening's were flashing in his mind. The news of Sharda's fall, her crying, her constant saying "I am sorry", her pale body, every single thing was making his heart sink. True, he wanted her to be sorry for all the hurt she has given him from the past few days but never like this. As he knew that she was not doing this intentionally and from the beginning he had his doubts on Mandar.
He took a deep breath and placed the phone again on the table canceling his thought on calling her as he knew she would be tired. After a while Raghav came back from his bath to hear his phone ringing. Unknowingly a small smile came on his face instantly. It was his wife who was calling him. He received the call, before he could say anything she bombarded him with her questions "Raghav tum thik ho na, tumhe koi chot tho nhi aayi, tum abhi kaha ho, tum kuch bol kyu nhi rahe ho".
"Tum kuch bolne dega toh mai kuch bolunga na saree ka dukan" Raghav spoke while still having that smile. He was happy to know that she was worried about him well she always did but today was an exception.
"Toh tumne mera phone kyu nhi uthaya maine tumhe kitni baar phone kiya" said a worried Pallavi.
"Voh mai bathroom mai tha" Raghav said calmly.
"Tum vahi ruko mai aa rahi hu" after that Pallavi disconnected the call. Raghav was confused as to why she was asking those questions. He tossed his phone on the bed and started to get ready.
After a while Raghav was trying to wear his watch when Pallavi came in opening the door and she suddenly hugged him as tightly as possible and she was breathing heavily as she was running. Raghav was confused but he embraced her in his arms. She broke the hug and started checking him from head to toe, Raghav was all the more confused.
"Kya kar raha hai Pallavi" Raghav asked.
She cupped his face and asked "tumhe kuch hua nhi na, tum thik ho na".
"Ha Pallavi mai thik hai, mujhe kya hoga" said Raghav while trying to assure her.
