Part 1 pg 1
Sitting in the club..sipping his drink...Ishaan Hooda thought about his life that had already passed.. His married life with Preet... Tomorrow will be their fourth wedding anniversary.
Four year had passed... It was four years back the day that he and Preet had got married. It was a marriage of convenience for them..for the sake of Kavya.. His daughter. He remembered their first night... Preet was sitting on the bed between all the flowers...
There was tension on her face... And hope... No no no what was he thinking? Hope?! Never.. Preet didn't want this marriage too.. She was still in love with her fiance whom she lost in the accident...Right?...well, she had never told him this in words.. But he assumed...It was tension only, not hope..He tried to justify his thoughts..
"Humare beech pyaar kabhi nahi oh sakta.. This marriage is just a compromise, I will love my first wife forever!" He had told her.
He had looked at her face then... She looked Sad.. Wait a minute!! Why would she feel sad? She would have felt relief na?... No no it was just relief on her face... He justified again...
Ishaan beta.. Why are you thinking all this now? What has changed?...He thought to himself...scolding himself..
Preet was his friend...she was his wife...and a mother to his child...they were connected emotionally... That's it!
He tried to remember the face of his first wife... But it was only Preet's face that flashed before his eyes... Ishaan panicked!! He tried remembering again... And again... And again...But failed miserably!
A blinding rage took over his mind.. He couldn't breath...He picked up the bottle of whiskey in front of him and drowned all its contents...
He did not understand what was happening to him... This feeling for her..for his wife...
For Preet...
When had she become something more than a friend for him? He couldn't remember an exact moment...
He realised then... He was in love!!
He started laughing like a maniac...
he felt free...happy...
aaannnddd drunk!!!
Preet was going to kill him... He had never gone home drunk! Well...They had all gotten drunk once... He, Preet, Trisha, Neeti and Sid.. Poor Kukku jiju had to look after the kids.. While they had danced all night like rowdies. Ishaan smiled..
Well drunk or not drunk, I am not scared of Preet.. I am in love with her... I am going to tell her... I am going to scream and tell the whole world...He thought. He called his driver to take him home...
Where was Ishaan? It was almost midnight.. Preet knew he was going to the club today... But he never stayed there for so long... She was about to call him when she heard his car...
As Ishaan reached home the Dutch courage started to leave him... Yeh pyaar karna toh theek hai par pyaar ka confession..bada mushkil hai yaar...
Arre baap re! Preet was standing at the door...Not one but two Preets! He got out of the car some how and started walking towards Preet... As straight as he could...in a straight squiggly line...
"S..sorry Preet...I am l..la..late." Stammered Ishaan.
'What is wrong with him?' Thought Preet and why the hell is he bending in front of that potted palm next to the door and speaking??
"OMG! He is drunk!" realised Preet.
" Ishaan.. Ishaan.. Are you alright? Why did you drink so much?" Preet was concerned..
"Drunk? Who? Me? N..no of..of course nn...not.. I just had some grape juice.."
"Grape juice indeed!"
Preet held his hand and took him inside. She was worried... She had never seen Ishaan like this... Theirs wasn't a conventional marriage... But Ishaan never seemed unhappy... Marriage of convenience was his decision... Was he tired of being tied down in this marriage? Had he met someone else who had made him forget his first wife? Questions started flowing in her mind as panic rose within her.. She knew it was no use speaking to Ishaan now..the state he was in...But she had to clear things.. Even if ultimately she would be the one would get hurt.
She took him in their room and made him sit on the bed...
"Ishaan just sleep now.. You will feel better in the morning..." She tried to push him back on the bed..
"No no first I want to..tell you something... Vverryy im..mportant.." Ishaan caught hold of her as he fell back on the pillows.. Taking her with him..
"What?" asked Preet softly... As she laid there next to him.. Hell.. Almost on top of him, her heart thudding so fast..
"I want to say...zzz"
"Oye Ishaan? You were saying something? O Hello?"
But Ishaan was fast a sleep. Preet smile.. She lovingly pushed back a lock of hair falling over his forehead. Her handsome husband looked so boyish and innocent while sleeping.. Will Ishaan ever accept her completely? She pushed her sadness away and fell asleep, cocooned in the warmth of her husbands arms..
Ishaan woke up sometime in the middle of the night...he felt dazed for a moment before he realised that Preet was sleeping with her head resting on his shoulder and her arm laid over his waist... He smiled...tomorrow as usual Preet will decide to celebrate our anniversary along with the family.. But he had other plans.. Just for both of them..
Ishaan gently kissed her forehead..she stirred but slept on.. He held her close..He needed to put things right, he needed to make Preet forget the fianc from her past...
He need to make Preet his...only his...
Little did Ishaan know that Preet always loved him.. And Preet had no clue that Ishaan had fallen in love with her..
To be continued...
