Chapter 19 – Kunal finally found his Siddhi

.

As far as Siddhi's and Kunal family were concerned, they were left in the dark , as Kunal didn't want to alarm them and he continued his search for Siddhi.

After an exhaustive search, Kunal went back to the apartment late Sunday evening . First thing he did when he stepped into the foyer, was to call out her name if she was home and he went and checked all the rooms. Nothing. She was not there. ! Did he seriously expect her to be around? Who was he kidding? But secretly he was hoping that she would have returned home. But no ...no sign of her ... Just like his attempts to call Siddhi on the phone was all in vain, she just wasn't answering and looked like she didn't want to be found...He knew she was too deeply hurt, although nothing happened but then that's not how it appeared to her, did it?

Obviously she was very upset but nevertheless he was still very worried about Siddhi's whereabouts, hers and their unborn child's safety as well. For the first time he felt very helpless, not able to do anything just yet till Monday where the taxi company could trace the driver and he could at least get some leads from him to move on. Of course they could go for a national hunt if advertised on papers but he didn't want to scare her further ... He wanted to handle this quietly without the media and getting their families worried for nothing.

He was very haggard . He was too sleep deprived, too wound up...too scared now and was having one hell of headache. He just needed something to get his tired muscles working again. He cant lose focus now till he find Siddhi.

He went to the kitchen, took a bottle of ice water from the fridge and splashed it on his face . The cold iciness woke the tired muscle, instantly making it spring in action at the shock cool treatment. He just Wanted a quick change and go an look for Siddhi again, when the phone rang.

It was from the Ajay who called to update and apparently they have not much information, no lead and all leading to a blank. He reassured Kunal not to worry as Siddhi was just upset and will come back soon once she has calmed down. Somehow Kunal didn't think that this was going to happen from the cold response and vibes he was getting from Siddhi.

This time, he really felt fear clutch his heart as the clock started ticking away from the time she fled...one day has gone – more than 24 hours and no word or response from her whatsoever. He just sent a silent prayer to the upper beings that all would be well soon and he will find his Siddhi soon.

He cannot live without her now that she had come into his life by forces of nature or rather a cruel twist of fate, with his brother dead.. He has found love again – a true unconditional love with Siddhi- his soulmate. He loved her passionately. Simple as that. The only woman he had cultivated such intense deep feelings of love, respect , trust and he wanted to spend the rest of his life and have children and grow old with her. And no way he will let her escape him that easily. Its not going to be easy but he will make her listen to him and he has to convince her that nothing happened. Hell nothing happened!

He was back on the street again to look for her and during the wee hours of the morning, when sun was beginning to break in, he had something light for breakfast. Not that he was hungry but he needed to eat something for some energy and the alertness around him to keep going. Whenever he had complicated cases, his body has a remote self function to forgo a few days of sleep without really feeling tired but the hurdle is over, he sleeps the sleep of all mother of sleeps! Well, he hope that by then he would clear the misunderstanding between him and Siddhi and they could put this behind them as one bad episode best forgotten and move forward.

Ajay met him an hour later, both set off to the Taxi company and was able to get the details of the Taxi owner. Infact, as luck would have it , the driver was just a few blocks away. When contacted over the phone, he agreed to meet them. After almost two days of searching , waiting, finally there was someone knew where Siddhi was...her secret hide out. Well he had to attribute it to secret for he had to grudgingly admit and had to admire the way Siddhi diverted all's attention by cleverly changing into a new attire and disappearing almost.. well just almost if not for the CCTV , she would have been successful in her vanishing act.

The taxi driver after showing the photo ,instantly remembered taking Siddhi , far away from Mumbai as it was a quite a drive for a Saturday afternoon and added on that she was very distraught for she was crying silently all the way .He was about to reveal exactly where he dropped off but he stopped in mid sentence... He looked at Kunal with accusing suspicious eyes as if was an abusive husband and Siddhi was running away from him.

Kunal was quick to catch on this and said, and reassured him that he and Siddhi had just a small husband and wife fight and he was looking for his wife for the past two days... and after some talking, finally the taxi driver rattled off the address where he dropped her off.

Blast...Siddhi got down at a bus station apparently. Still no idea of her final destination. Kunal thought , well at least , this was better than nothing and told Ajay that they better drive quickly and upon arriving there, they can gather more clues. Kunal thanked the taxi driver and set off.

Due to massive traffic congestion and accidents along the way , they arrived almost late evening at the bus station where Siddhi got off. It was crowded with passengers running and walking briskly to board the buses on time.

He called Siddhi on her mobile , knowing that she might not answer but tried anyway...but again , no answer at all just as he expected. Nothing new...so why was he upset.?

"Dont worry , Kunal, we will find her...we are very close to where she was seen last...she must be around here . She must have taken another cab from here to wherever she went.." Ajay s consoled Kunal by tapping him on his shoulders seeing Kunal was now quite dejected with the unshaven beard and worry lines on his forehead. Kunal actually looked quite devastated although he hid it well.

Kunal shook his head , smiling tightly and said with a twinge of sadness and regret. "No Ajay, I made a mess with Siddhi. I should have told Siddhi everything about Richa from the beginning instead of keeping it away from her..if only i told her this, I would not be in this situation and Siddhi would have not disappeared and would have understood. I should have trusted my instinct and told her but at that time, I didn't want to worry Siddhi ...I realize now that was a big mistake, a grave big mistake. I don't know why but I am afraid,Ajay. "

"You cant turn back the clock, Kunal. Whats done is done. Well sometimes life has full of surprises for you. When you think, you have got all under control, everything falls apart over trivial matters we think in our angle, but looks different from others perspective. We cant expect everyone and everything to go as plan, for we are just humans and we err. " Ajay spoke abstractly from derived experience , with a sudden glimpse of memory, walk down of his own.

"Looks like, you had undergone something dramatic in your life as well Ajay" Kunal said looking at Ajay

" You could say that...but I am still learning. Marriage is a big thing. Its a lifelong process living together as a man and wife and raising your kids. Not easy but then this is what man and woman did thousand of years ago and still doing it. Well, we just have to be more patient and go through the motions of ups and downs and what life throws you.Come, my friend, let's ask some people around...if anyone had seen Siddhi .." Ajay comforted Kunal and both went about doing the tasks.

A few taxi drivers o said they might have seen her but wasn't sure. After an unsucessful search, they went to a nearby road side street shop and had something to eat . While Kunal was having his coffee, there was a call. He quickly answered thinking it was Siddhi but the screen showed an "Blocked" . He frowned as who could be calling at this time...perhaps some salesman trying to sell something through telemarketing . He answered anyway..

"Kunal Chopra here" he addressed curtly and there was a brief moment of silence and Kunal said" Hello?"

"Mr Chopra? Mr Kunal Chopra? A woman's voice said very tentatively over the other end...

"Yes, that's me and you are...? Kunal asked and there was a pause again and before he could speak

"Good evening Mr Chopra...you don't know me but I just want to let you know that Siddhi is with me..I know you must be worried about her. I just called to say..that she is ...

"Who are you and where is she? Kunal stood up cutting in sharply and almost shouted at the caller...

" Emotionally down...and she needs some rest. " The female caller finished and continued...

" Mr Kunal, I know you are upset and worried... I cant say much now.." the voice said

"Just tell me where is she dammit!. I have been looking for her for two days and you call to say she is ok but cant say much now...what is that supposed to mean? Kunal asked with controlled anger, kept at bay

Ajay tapped him on his shoulder and did a good mimick of sign language to tone town,bnot to scare away the caller...Kunal got the message and brought his temper down..he had forgotten all that in his excitement hearing Siddhi's name...and this person had all the information...

"Ok, ok...tell me.. if she is ok. Can I talk to her ? Kunal asked more calmly this time.

"As I said, she is very upset Mr Kunal Chopra. Listen, I will call you in a couple of days or so and tell you where we are..you just have to trust me on this Mr Kunal Chopra. I am her friend and don't worry she is in good hands" the woman said as this would be some comfort to Kunal.

"Can I talk to her , please, I have to talk to Siddhi.." Kunal asked almost pleadingly with such yearning...that the woman could be heard taking a swift intake of breath.

" I am so sorry Mr Kunal Chopra...not now, not just yet...but please , I promise to call you soon...when things are more settled and when she is in a better frame of mind" the woman said more reasonably.

"Did she say anything about me and your name" Kunal asked.

" She did but I wont comment or pass any judgement . Its not my place to say this when I don't know the facts .My topmost highest priority is for her well being now. Kunal, if I may address you ...I will call you. And don't worry. She is in safe hands and for the time being,just wait for my call..."the woman said and hung up.

Kunal just stood there with the phone still clutched to his ear...and then he sighed heavily with some relief , not too sure to believe if the phone call was a hoax or genuine. He turned around to Ajay who was now looking at him with a query, with some hope.

"She is in safe hands or so the lady tells me and that she will call me back in two days time..I am not sure about this... a bit strange..." Kunal said, a muscle knotted at his jaw.

" I think she is ok buddy...maybe like her friend says she needs more time to calm down and that's why she said perhaps two days later" Ajay said gently.

"And you don't think that this phone call by some mysterious lady sounds fishy" Kunal queried Ajay.

"Nope, its real, if its a someone who did some harm to Siddhi,, they would not bother to call you...and she did tell you not to worry. Sounds like someone , a close confidante of Siddhi but she just wants to make sure everything and everyone is alright... a kind soul" Ajay said with an ounce of conviction.

Kunal and Ajay decided, that Kunal will book himself into a hotel and meet siddhi, while Ajay goes back to Mumbai. No point for both of them waiting here aimlessly. Anyway Ajay has his own family who will be waiting for him at home. Ajay refused to go but Kunal persuaded him and finally Ajay left with relunctance.

Kunal was back in his hotel room, lying on the bed past midnight, sleep still eluding him...thinking about Siddhi. He felt relief that she was fine but on the other hand , his felt his muscles tightening for he did not know how to deal with Siddhi. For the first time he felt very unsure...Siddhi never behaved like this...but then this situation never happened before as well. Bloody mess.!

Four days passed and still no calls, and Kunal was getting restless , going out of his mind, beginning to think that the call was perhaps a prank call...and then the phone rang if to dispute his claim.

Kunal yanked it from the bedside table. It was the same woman. He quickly took a pen and a paper and wrote down the address. Within minutes he was heading towards his destination ,hurriedly , well almost running. It been almost a week and finally he was going to meet Siddhi , face to face, erasing away all the misunderstandings...

It was a beautiful farmhouse, all quiet with only the sounds of nature , secluded from the town , and there was a tall woman waiting...for him ,he supposed.

"Hi, I am Chantelle. Nice to meet you Kunal...how are you? The woman asked him gently.

"Fine...Siddhi?...Kunal rubbed his temple and enquired. He had no time to share pleasantries...he just wanted to see Siddhi...gosh its was almost a week!

"Kunal , I have to warn you she does not know you are here...so please be kind..she's been through a lot.. and she is over there." She cautioned him...and before she could finish, Kunal was taking long strides towards the room, Chantelle pointed

He opened the door slowly and stepped in and saw Siddhi resting on the bed. She was half sitting and lying on the bed,her head propped up against the head board of the bed and she blinked in shock when she saw him...but she kept quiet and turned her head towards the window. There was something about her...a stone silence.

Kunal walked slowly with hesitant step towards the bed..."Siddhi...I ...how are you?

She didn't answer. Continued stubbornly to look through the window at the trees outside a swaying gently with the wind...

He tried again.." Ah...hmm... Siddhi, I know you are upset...I have been out of my mind looking for you these past few days...worried when you just took off like that."

Still nothing. She didn't respond ...and Kunal moved to the side of the bed , blocking the window and she had no choice but to look at him but she turned her head to the other side.

"Siddhi, please look at me... don't be like this...please give me a chance to explain..."He walked around to the other side, knelt down at the bedside...and touched her hand.

She shuddered in shock and shook it off and whispered in rage expelling " Don't touch me! And leave me alone."

Kunal face went pale at her rebuke..and he said gently..when all he felt like was pulling her to him tightly like a caveman . But it has to wait. She was still very angry...he had to do something that she will believe him. The recordings!

"Siddhi, don't be like this honey. I didn't do anything with Richa, Siddhi. You know you are the only woman I love. Trust me Siddhi. Please. Lisetne, I got everything recorded here..." Kunal said in desperation and took out his phone.

"Save it. It doesn't matter anymore. We are done. Its over. Our marriage is over" said Siddhi with an aloofness and indifference.

"What are you talking about Siddhi.? We need to talk about this. I am not done with you ! Goddamit Siddhi, for god sake, listen to yourself? How can you say our marriage is over? Kunal said his voice raising to a feverish pitch now...god what was happening?

"I am not doing this anymore with you Kunal...I want out. I want to break free from you ..I just cant keep doing this anymore...its all over.

"For god sake Siddhi, let me explain to you...you cant just end our marriage based on what you saw..without giving me a chance to explain."argued Kunal vigorously.

"I saw enough, Kunal. More than enough. There will always be three people in our marriage. She will always be there and I don't want to be a part of this anymore. You do deserve each other and the two of you, just leave me alone in your sick game." Siddhi said vehemently.

" How many times do I have to tell you , nothing happened between us. It was all well planned by Richa to cause a rift between us. And this is exactly what is happening. Look, I know you are upset..but if you look at it logically and listen to the recording, you will realize that I had nothing to do with it For god sake Siddhi...listen to what I got to say ."

" I want a divorce from you Kunal." Siddhi said as ignored him.

"Divorce! No way. Look here, you are not in a state of mind to listen to anything . Let's go away somewhere quiet together and we can talk things out.."

"I don't want to go anywhere with you...I just want the divorce so that we can go our separate ways" Siddhi insisted stubbornly.

" No we will not separate! You forgot something, you are carrying my child. I am the father of the baby and I am not going to give you the divorce even if all hell breaks loose. I love you and my child and I am not letting either of you go easily .This baby ties you and me forever. I love you and our baby Siddhi. Sorry I cant let you go " Kunal said with a finality.

"There's no baby...not anymore." Siddhi said so softly that Kunal had to crane his head if he heard her correctly.!

"What? Come again, what did you just say? No baby...what happened? What are you talking about? What? Kunal asked in a shocked voice, now standing up.

"You heard it right...I miscarried on the same night I came here..."

"No, no...no...I don't believe you...! You are lying. You just saying this ...Siddhi? Answer me damn you" Kunal asked confused. His head was now spinning with what Siddhi said...no baby , their baby dead...this cant be true...no way...hell just how many bad lucks happen to one man in this manner. He must be the most unluckiest man in the entire world!

Kunal ran his hands through his hair until it stood up like little spikes...he was devastated. This cant be true...this cant be happening...they were going to sort out but now this new bombshell. Miscarriage! Their baby gone...lost...? Hell

" Its the truth Kunal...up to you to believe or not...no more baby...no more ties for us to stay together...that's why I am resting ...you are free to do whatever you want."Siddhi said looking straight into his eyes..

" Where are the record to say that you had a miscarriage. For all i know you could be lying. I want proof" Kunal asked coldly when he gathered his scattered thoughts around.

Siddhi took something from her bedside table and shoved the file across the bed towards him..

He looked at her and took the file...and read the doctor's comments and the cause of the miscarriage...involuntary shock...leading to bleeding...and the lost of the baby.

Why did he feel that he lost everything...his wife, his child and his life...a week ago he had everything ,now everything was slipping away from him. Right here , right now. He felt like a total loser.

"Siddhi..." Kunal started but Siddhi put up her hand to stop him in mid-sentence...

" I mean what I said, Kunal. I want the divorce. We go our separate ways. You lead you own life and I lead mine.. Our paths shall never cross again. " Siddhi said, her eyes, her voice everything about her as icy and unyielding as when they first met as enemies.

Kunal just looked at her and said." You are throwing away everything based on what you saw, you are not prepared to give me a chance to explain to prove to , you not fair and you are making a big mistake " Kunal said, his voice as chilly as hers.

"I have seen , heard and said enough. There's nothing more left to say or salvage this relationship. It was a mockery from the beginning. "

"Even our second marriage vows..hmmm Siddhi, that was a mockery to you too and our baby?"Kunal asked

"It was to you...and yes...Probably...I thought it was magic ...but then it was just that for a short time. .it was too magical to last long..a tragic end actually with the baby now gone . Please leave Kunal..I want to rest..you will be hearing from my lawyers soon. "

"That's it.? What do I tell our families.?" Kunal asked.

"They will know how to deal with it. These things happen, nothing is ironclad...please leave from here Kunal. Goodbye Kunal" Siddhi said coldly and closed her eyes to dismiss him that all conversation was over.

He stood there for a long time , looking at her and finally he left, closing the door with a bang, till the windows shuttered vibrantly with the force. After some time...

"Oh Siddhi, my dear..what have you done?" Chantelle said shaking her, standing at the doorway

" I did what's best for all of us Chantelle. There is no point in continuing this anymore...

" You didn't give him a chance to explain my dear. ..that wasn't fair..." Chantelle reminded.

" All is fair in love and war...I don't want to listen to anymore lies...he has hurt me very badly and I don't want to continue living with this lie for the rest of our lives, accepting it like a love sick fool , falling for the trap all the time.. Richa will always be there. Our marriage was getting too crowded...time for me to get off...start all over again...I have to." Siddhi said with determination"

" Yes...but I still don't agree and feel you should not have said..." Chantelle said stopped when Siddhi looked at tearful eyes..

" Chantelle, like I said, I cant live like this every time looking over my shoulder if someone is going to snatch my husband or harm me. Better for me to be out the equation...I love him too much too hold him . I have to let him go..free him.."She said brokenly.

" I am a lot more older, experienced , wiser than you...but let me tell you something...you are making a big mistake in this decision of yours" Chantelle said and left the room

Siddhi was quiet but tears were flowing out from her eyes. She truly loved Kunal and never thought that this will happen to her. We always hear and read about such things happening to others. We pity them..and when it happens to you...you just don't know what has hit you for you are in that very shoe...and that's how Siddhi felt. She too lost everything. Her Kunal, the love of her life. He never loved her. He's want to stay with her only because of the baby...that's all. His heart belonged to someone else.

That night Kunal let himself into the apartment and sank into the leather chair. So everything was over was it? She didn't give him a chance at all. Didnt have one ounce of trust and faith in him at all. What was his crime here? He truly thought he was helping a friend. And dear god he paid a heavy price for that. He lost his wife , his unborn child and now his marriage!

He wont give up. Not just yet.! He will give her some time...to simmer down and go and talk to her..she lost the baby...he finally broke down and cried for the baby...all this was his fault...she lost the baby due to him..he did this to her and their baby...the baby who didn't want to see how bad a father he would be and its mother who hated him most. Poor baby. A son or daughter he might have had but wasn't fortunate to live. He cried for the loss of his baby. He was too shell shock to cry infront of Siddhi... but now when the reality hit him...his baby gone...he cried for he truly loved and wanted this baby very much. It was part of him and Siddhi.

A week later he received a document through courier. It was the divorce papers from Siddhi. She had initiated the divorce! He tried many times to talk to her in the last one week. Even went up there to the farm house but she would not see him. Left messages on her phone but she refused to respond at all. He tried everything but her mind was made up.

So be it, he thought bitterly. She would not give him a moment to explain. So let it be.! He's done too.! He's done with women and family too. ! And he's done with begging and pleading too. ! There was brewing storm within him now...going to explode anytime.

There was a golf club in the room. He took it ...swung it up high in the air and struck it against the giant size mirror at the dining area smashing it with a loud crack, which shattered to thousands of pieces...just like his life...totally shattered and over. It was truly over...his relationship, the physical bond and finally his marriage with Siddhi was truly over...or was it?

Well that's it for now! Kunal and Siddhi will be taking some time away from each other ...and will later meet again . Stay tune and find out when , where and how...they will rekindle their hot passionate love once again!
