Animal, i have become FF [updated chapter-3]

Prologue

It's been 4 months since all misunderstanding between Aradhya and Aryan cleared up. Aradhya got to know that her grand mom manipulated her by telling lie and she fell for it. She wrongly accused Aryan in a disgusting crime which he never did. She promised that she will again step foot in her home when kumudini will die. She regretted about her deed and even asked apologises from her husband but her husband refused to forgive her. Well, how will he forgive when he himself were in fault most of the time. He was at fault when he couldn't take stand for their marriage, he was at fault for continuously mistreating and insulting her. Yes, Aryan said "there is nothing to forgive as I am the one who is guiltier, please forgive me" ... And they fight on who should forgive and who should be forgiven and eventually felt how stupid they were... that they were fighting on some silly things when there were lots of things for them to catch.

And its been 3 months since their 3^rd time marriage... in spite of aba's and pavitra's disliking of the marriage celebration, a huge celebration was held from rest of the family. Aryan jokingly said "madam... how many time are you going to marry? Are you sure it's the last time?" ... Aradhya said "this is just the third time... I will marry at least 3 time more" ... Aryan smile and said "I hope that next 3 time also I will be sitting here beside you as your groom." Aradhya smile and patted Aryan's cheek lightly.

When they went for honeymoon Aryan made a friend Hridan. Hridan is a very happy go lucky guy. A little weird but has a heart of gold. He is not exactly very tall and healthy. He is thin and lanky. He got hazel colour eyes and pale skin. He always wear plain shirt and loose trouser. He is a painter by profession. Aryan and Aradhya asked him to make their painting together and thus started a sweet friendship however that sweet friendship changed. Aryan felt Hridan getting closer to Aradhya and Aradhya seemed very comfortable with him. In number of occasion Aryan felt Aradhya's and Hridan's friendship growing more than apparent friendly zone. Aryan ignored it many time.

When they get back home Aryan felt everything will be fine then but within few days Hridan came in their village saying that he will be staying in the village as Aradhya invited him and he also feel it's a beautiful village and him being an artist person can't leave until he fully appreciate beauty of any beautiful thing.

Aradhya and Aryan's relationship grew continuously bitter because of Aryan's insecurity. Taking advantage of it Pavitra and Aba made Aryan to believe Aradhya is cheating on him. They used to arrange things is such a way that it seemed infidelity going on. Aradhya tried to make Aryan understand many time that Hridan is just a friend and nothing else still Aryan had the nagging feeling that Aradhya is cheating on him and one fine day Aryan thought to let Aradhya go. He brought divorce paper home. Aradhya cried and begged him to not to do this. Aradhya said Aryan that he is delusional, she is not cheating on him but he was not convinced. Aradhya said "I forgave you when you mistreated me. I can't repeat the same thing again"... Aryan said "am I not the one who should be asking the same?" dam of tears broke from Aradhya's eyes.

Today Aradhya and Aryan got divorce. Aba and Pavitra were very happy. They thought finally Aradhya going away from Aryan's life. Both Aradhya and Aryan were severely heart broken.

four years later

"weedaan!" a 3 year old Abira whined, running into the kitchen and stamping her bare foot on the slippery linoleum. "I wann ice-kim!"

"no .. its passed dinner time, no ice cream." Hridan said distractedly from the lounge.

"Ice-kim?" A hopeful face popped round the door, Ayan, Abira's twin brother came running in the kitchen.

"That means you as well, Ayan." Both the kids scowled at him, then turned their backs and started whispering mutinously to each other. Hridan sighed "why it is always me?" he complain, imitating the kids' whiny tones.

"Because you're such a pushover" Aradhya said teasingly. Aradhya looked to her children "ok kids it's the last scoop you are getting today"

"otaaayy " the kids said in union. The kids took their ice-cream and ran in lounge.

"So Aru.. what did you thought.. its been years since you are staying here... you never contact home" Hridan started.

Aradhya turned around "I said na.. I don't wanna talk about it."

"But you have to ... Kids are growing... They should know their grandmother and their..." the word remain in his mouth when the doorbell rang loudly. Twin screeches of "I'm getting ittt!" rang out from hyped-up kids, the sound of racing feet echoing through the house.

"No, I'm getting it!" hridan shouted. The pounding feet descended the staircase rapidly paying him no attention at all "if you two touch that door you won't get to see TV for a month." Aradhya threatened and footsteps stopped ... "score" Hridan thumbs upped to Aradhya. Aradhya stuck her tongue out "Cartoon always work." Hridan Smiled.

"Kids now, come upstairs and we will watch cartoon while Hridan talks to whoever's out there okay?"

"otaaayyy" in union again. Aradhya lead them upstairs.

Hridan smiled and opened the door. The smile slipped off his face, to be replaced by a look off utter shock. How many years was it now? Three? four?

"Hello, Hridan." The person standing on the doorstep said calmly. "Good to see you again" Hridan blinked, finally finding his voice. "Aryan, what the hell are you doing here?" he hissed, casting a quick glance upstairs.

Chapter-1

Hridan smiled and opened the door. The smile slipped off his face, to be replaced by a look off utter shock. How many years was it now? Three? four?

"Hello, Hridan." The person standing on the doorstep said calmly. "Good to see you again" Hridan blinked, finally finding his voice. "Aryan, what the hell are you doing here?" he hissed, casting a quick glance upstairs.

Aryan smirked briefly. Most of his face was in shadow, Hridan could only just see his features.

"ASi said good to see you too. Would it be okay if I stayed for a bit? I havn't particularly got anywhere to go at the moment." Aryan said. Hridan blink again, trying to get his frozen brain working. While he was still scrabbling around trying to find a few un-paralysed brain cells, Aradya came down the stairs behind him.

"Hridan, who's tha.." Hridan winced as Aradhya literally flung herself down the stairs to land in front of him, her eyes blazing. "Get out of here, what are you doing here?" a faint light seemed to die in Aryan's eyes.

"time didn't do a very good job on you, did it, Aru?.. you are still fire ball it seems!" he said quietly. Hridan watched uneasily as Aradhya glowered at her ex-husband.

"Get out of here, and its Aradya for you... well actually no one for you." She snaled again. Aryan shrugged, his face expressionless.

"I can take a hint, you know." He gave Hridan a disappointed look. Hridan returned it blankly, his brain still frozen with all the commotion. Aradhya made an impatient movement with her head "All right, all right, I'm gone." He turned around and started to make his way down the driveway. Aradhya move to slam the door shut, but Hridan pushed past her and hurried outside, his brain finally clicking into gear.

Aryan was leaning heavily against the shoulder-height wall that surrounded their house, rough, barking coughs coming from his mouth. As Hridan watched, he fell to his knees, still coughing violently. Hridan swore softly and went quickly to him. Aryan half-open one eye and gave a weak grin.

"huh? Being a gentle man again huh? I like what you appear to be... Hridan." His voice was harsh and strained.

"shut up." Hridan ordered. Surprisingly Aryan obeyed. "I do not pretend, and you Aryan.. time didn't do a very good job on you as well. You are this egoistic, judgmental and ignorant." Aryan didn't answer back he just smiled mockingly and looked at other side. His eyes were tear filled.

Closing up, Hridan could see that Aryan's face was tight and strained, the dark shadows that he had notice merely empathising the overall look of ill health. He was thin to the point of being gaunt, , but had clearly tried to hide it by wearing a baggy grey jumper and equally baggy ripped denim jeans. Something told Aryan that the rips weren't for fashion. His sunken cheeks were unnaturally flushed and the ferocious coughing fit shook his emaciated frame. Hridan reached out and laid one hand lightly on Aryan's forehead. It as warm, but not healthily cool, either.

"I'm fine. Just got over the flu, that's all," he mutter hoarsely.

"Sounds like it went to your chest. You should get that seen to." Hridan advised.

Aryan snorted "yeah, right." He said scornfully. He closed his eyes again and tool a few deep, slow breaths, clearly fighting down another coughing fit. Making mind, Hridan took hold of Aryan's cold arms and helped to his feet. Aryan looked at him questioningly.

"you can stay." Hridan said firmly. Aryan's eyes flash surprise and relief.

"Are you mad?" Hridan heard a female voice and turned around to find Aradhya standing angrily. "I am not having him in the same house as my children. No let alone house... it would be even same street!" Aradhya hissed

"children?" Aryan asked surprise. "it is not you business, stay out of it" Aradhya hissed again.

"Aru.. I understand what you are trying to say but he is staying here that's final." Hridan said pleasantly. He met her heated gaze coolly and held it with ease, waiting for her to drop her eyes. Eventually , she did so. "yes, Hridan but he is staying in the spare bedroom, and he can't talk to either of the kids without one of us in the room with him." She said turning around " also he comes out looking better than he did when he comes in." she finished finally. Hridan gave her a grateful smile "she needs time to melt." He looked ad Aryan " is that ok with you?"

"better than I expected." He chuckled again, a slight cough escaping his lips. Aradhya had the grace to blush slightly.
