Love Entanglement
PART A
They lay on their back.. Fingers intertwined, Legs tangled, She listened his heartbeat.. She know its for her still she was scared once again.. She looked at him, there was a smile of satisfaction in his eyes but what she was feeling? Regret? Why? She loved him.. She always did then what is the feeling coming to her? The guilt of hiding the truth.. But she didn't want to lose him once again.. "Thank You..", He kissed on her head..
A tear rolled from her eyes, "I have to go Yash.."
He kissed her tears away, "Are you feeling guilty for spend your moments with me?"
All he got silence and He got up releasing her from his grief, "I know Aarti, I don't deserve you.. And I will not say anything about your decision"
She hold his hand and hugged him tightly, "I am sorry..I don't know what is right. I am clueless"
"You are clueless because you don't love me Aarti.. You never loved me. And i can't blame you for that. How can you love a jerk like me.." He moved away, get dressed and went away from there.. This time he went away and she couldn't stop him.
Past
"I Love You ." he said kneeling down with a bucket of rose.
She glared at him with anger, "I said i am not interested in you.."
"But why? What is bad in me?"
"Nothing, but I am not interested about anyone now.. Be it you or anyone else", She walked away once again leaving the frustration on his face.. It was the 7th time she refused him but he is so obsessed about her.
"Come on Aarti you can give him at least one chance, He is trying since so long" Mansi tried to give her a reason
"Mansi please. I am not even like him a little. That's not love but obsession",,she said marching away..
Aarti is a 18 years old girl who just started her college a year back.. And Yash left the college last year. He was 22 years.. But since the time he met her he is just crazy about her. He tried every possible way to approach her but she is like made of stone, she didn't care about him even once.. And when today he listen her to talk about his obsession it just spurred him..
It was evening time when he entered in the temple.. He know she come here every tuesday.. And he waited for her.. She come there after a while and after that he didn't wait a little.. He went to her, grabbed her arm.. "What are you doing here?", She asked again with irritation in her voice. "You still didn't see my obsession Ms.Sharma", and with that he filled her hairline with vermilion..
She stood stunned there when she touched her partition.. Everyone present there turned them to see the drama, "You can refuse me.. But you are my wife now.. I have married you in front of your dear lord.."
She pushed him away from her, "No.. You can't do this",,she started to rub her hair..
"I have done this Aarti.. You value so much the rituals right? Then here is it. You are my wife now"
She started to run while crying and he didn't went after her.. She ran into her house didn't care who saw her or not.. She just started pouring water over her face and head.. She wanted to wipe away the sindoor from her head..
She didn't come out from her room that night and No one cared to know about her too. It was only her elder sister who care for her but nowadays she is also not great full to her. This is his sister's husband's place. Her in laws are here who don't like Aarti much. Their parents passed away in one accident soon after her sister's marriage from then she is staying here with all. She could feel her didi have to listen tantrums just because she is staying here. She decided she will leave this place soon, but for that she need a job to fulfill her needs. She is studying hard to get one suitable job soon. And now this happened which was so unexpected to her.
Her sleep broke on the bang of door. As she opened the door her didi looked at her and then dragged her out of the room, "Didi, where are you taking me?" She asked but didn't get any reply, instead she was taken in front of the man she hate most.. "Is he saying right Aarti" her sister threw the question at her
She looked helpless. She could guess about what he is talking. But she couldn't imagine that he will go this low to get her..
"What is here to ask her bahu? He has the proof, and this shameless girl hide this big truth from us..", She thow a picture on her face and she stood stunned seeing that he even take picture of that moment.. She looked at him with disgust
"Excuse me, you can't talk to my wife like this", He come forward and warn them
"I am not your wife.. That is not marriage. You did all those without my permission", She was fuming in anger, "I will go to police, but will never accept you"
"Do, whatever you want, but get out from my house", It was her didi
"Didi.. ", she was shocked by it
"I had enough for you Aarti. I can't bear more.. I am a human, normal woman. I want a happy life. I am tired to get taunts just because you are staying here. And now this. What do you think I will support you in this nonsense also?, Just get out of my sight and don't come back here ever", She was crying and Aarti didn't try to say anything in protest. She simply went out of the house and start walking.
Just now Yash realized his attempt went wrong but he wanted her only and he can do anything to get her.. "Aarti, you don't need to worry, You are coming with me", he held her hand and first time she didn't react.She went wherever he take her.. Her trance broke when his mother screamed on him, "What do you mean you got married? Is that joke?"
"It's truth mom.. Aarti is my wife. I want you to accept her, if you will not i am not going to leave her", He said but she didn't say a single word
His father come forward, "What is this childishness Yash. You are still so young to get married. And look at her she must be just 18 or 19. You both are not yet mature enough to handle a marriage.."
"But papa, i have done", He was always so stubborn to listen anyone..
His father went towards Aarti, "Beta, i want to talk to your parents about it. Are they aware about your such decision?"
"I have none..", she replied looking at same gaze.
They felt bad for her. "Yash you don't even earn, how your wife will survive?" His father asked again
"You are there, and I am ready to join office from tomorrow", he said making his father smile, "All right, at least one person's entry can help in your attitude and decision"
They accepted her. Aarti didn't talk much to anyone. She was in her own thoughts. She didn't react for anything. Not even when he take her to his room, not even when he touched her intimately, not even then when he kissed her.. She responsed to the kiss only because she was never been kissed before. She didn't react anything then also when he made love to her. It pained her a lot but she bear the pain.. She hated this person from first and now she allowed him for everything.. He was not aware about what was going in her mind.. He wanted her and got her. For then it was great experience for him. He was just happy that she accepted him and didn't protest for anything..
She started to mingle with the family. She was getting love from them. They accepted her with open arms. Even she started her college again. She was living her life with the family but inside the bedroom she just listened him. He stay in office whole day. But when he return she went back to her self world.. She didn't stop him for anything. And he involved in his happiness so much that never noticed if his happiness were real..
Two month went by.. She was still same in his presence. She talked to him, replied to him, allowed him to make love but that's it. She didn't have any feelings.. He understood the reality when one day he returned home early and got her laughing and jumping with the kids of his elder brother.. He was so lost in her smiles.. But the smile and dance stopped then when she saw him. She went back to that phrase which he everyday get.. At that moment he realized he has lost her.. He used to see her like this cheerful, full of life before he took the fateful step of his life.. He saw her walking towards the kitchen. He went to their room and sat down thinking about past two months. What he actually get. Why and how he was so happy snatching away her happiness?.. Did he really love her? No.. This is not love. This is just selfishness.. He just ruined a life completely just because of his obsession.. Till now he was living with a stone, he was loving a stone only which he made. He got everything from her yet he lost her..
In this two months first time he didn't touch her.. It surprised her. She was always ready to give him that what he wanted. Of course he wanted this only. He wanted her body for his lust and hunger, he just gave name to their relation just for his own lust. First time in two months she slept peacefully.. And after that he never touched her.
His behaviour wondered her after 10 days.. He was not like this. She felt something was not normal but she was loving the peace in her life. She never loved him, she was there just because she love his family and she doesn't have any place to go.. It was one day in college when she felt dizy like she felt previous morning. She just poured water and felt better, she wanted to do the same now. She proceeded towards the washroom but couldn't finish her journey as her head spun and she passed out..
Much latter when she opened her eyes she found herself in medical room of college and Mansi was sitting beside her.. She hugged her friend, "You scared me Aarti ."
"I am all right Mansi", she tried to move
"Do you know you are pregnant?" Mansi said making her eyes wide open
She didn't reply anything in this.
At evening She was sitting on their bed looking at nothingness. When he entered in the room. He held a paper in front of her and she looked at him with question "Divorce Paper Aarti.. I have signed. Its your turn"
She stared with disbelief when he spoke again "I know Aarti i am reason for your every pain. I know i couldn't keep you happy because i always involved in my happiness that I was blind about your feelings. I think i have tortured you enough to ask forgiveness. So this is my small attempt to make you happy. I know you will be happy without me only.."
She stood up silently and lied down on her side.. He again decided about her. There was nowhere she was in this relationship it was only him.
She started to feel for him in this last 10 days.. When she went for shopping with him and vidhi bhabi. Her sister's mother in law was there and she started taunting her and as always she was quite without giving any reply. And then he protested, "She is my wife, my pride..don't you dare you talk anything about her", first time there was something different in his eyes, in his voice.. And then when she fall ill for fever even if it was simple cold he never left her side, take care of her every moment and that is how the last 10 days bring some changes in her life. And now suddenly he announced about the divorce..
The family went for a weeding, they asked her to join but she refused saying she has important project to submit in college.. She don't know if she should tell them about the pregnancy or not. She herself was not feeling anything, she don't know if the baby mean anything to her or not. But before anything she need to talk to him though she don't know what to talk after the divorce matter. But she just thought it is a bad phase, it will pass soon. It was the second day the family is absent. She didn't went to college. She didn't feel to eat anything too as no one around.. He didn't return to home after the night. She waited for him just to have a talk but he didn't come and she slept on the dining table..
It was early morning when her sleep broke listening some footsteps. He was back. He directly went to their room and she followed him inside. She saw him packing his stuffs, "Where are you going?". First time in this two months she asked him anything..
He looked at her to believe if really she asked anything, "I will stay on the other apartment from now. We can't stay in one house after the divorce"
She stood stunned, she didn't thought the divorce matter is this much serious, "Why you will go? Its your house, I will go.."
"No Aarti. I know you love my family, they love you.. You will be happy with them but i always caused pain for you so better i will not around you from now on"
"Your family love me, don't they love you? How they will take this?", She wanted to talk first time.
"I am not tearing my relation with them, I will come to meet them everyday, but don't worry I will not come in your presence. You will not have to face me again", He took his bag and started to walk but she stood in his way, "What the hell do you think yourself Yash Scindhiya? You can do anything? You married me against my will, give me one family, You used my body for your needs and lust and then suddenly realise you were wrong and again you decided about my life by signing divorce paper. And now you are leaving your family behind.. Who the hell you are to take every decision?".. She lashed out her anger of last two months and he stood there
"I know Aarti, I am the reason that you are bearing this pain that's why i am freeing you from my grief.." He said with the guilt in his eyes "now please let me go"
She felt her head getting heavy but still she wanted to Confront him, "No no.. I am not letting you go.. What do you want to prove you are great? In this two months you just think me as your property, used however you want and now you want to get rid like this? I am not allowing before getting all my answer"
The truth prick him. He never think her as his property, but his acts say that only.. He wanted to love her but he really didn't care about her responses, her feelings and when after two months she is speaking the truth it is stabbing him "Aarti, i can listen anything but I loved you and still i love..I know i am late to realise that my acts caused how much pain to you but now I want to leave just to give you some peace.. Please let me go"
"No Yash.. You can't go like this in your family's absence.. Let them come then we will decide everything"
He wanted to go away from there. The truth in her eyes was so much to bear to him. Yes he want to run away from her because he don't want to face her, for now he want to leave,"I am sorry Aarti but i am leaving", he said pushing her away from his way..
