Two long years passed by and almost everything was changed in the oberoi mansion. shivaay and anika were married for a year, omkara had finally found love and rudra and saumya were also engaged for almost two years now. rudra completed his graduation and joined shivaay in the family business; learning everything possible. well it just turned out that rudra really had the aptitude for business and tej was so proud of his son and thankful to shivaay for teaching rudra everything he knew. saumya after completing her gradation, was persuing post graduation and still doing her job as a Rj.
looking back two years, it was quite a task to convince saumya's mother. well she was way to apprehensive about the alliance. she wasnt sure if she get her daughter married into a family like oberois. they were too rich for her and her daughter, she thought. once daadi reassured saumya's mother that there is nothing to worry about and they love saumya as their own daughter; another issue cropped up and which was saumya's mother instant liking for omkara instead of rudra. rudra seemed like a playboy to her; nothing less nothing more.
"aayi... I treat him like a brother... aap bade baal wale bhaiya aur mere baare mein kaise soch sakti hai...?? kaise...??" saumya asked in disbelief.
"woh suljha hua ladka hai... ghar ka bada beta hai.." saumya's mother reasoned.
"bada beta shivaay bhaiya hai..." saumya answered as a matter of fact.
"tej ka bada beta om hi hai na... toh uss haq se...-"
saumya interrupted her mother in a tone she regretted later "aap please aisi baatein mat kariye... iss ghar mein teeno bete ek jaise hai.. sabke same rights hain... koi farak nahi karta teeno ke beech... dont say anything that will ruin things aayi... I love this family and most of all I love rudra... My husband..."
"husband..?? yeh kya bol rahi hai tu...??" saumya's mother demanded.
"I got married to Rudra... he is my husband... bas itna hi..."
"jo karna hai karo... par dobara rote hue mere paas mat aana saumya..."
"I never came to you crying... I was strong enough back then and now... now i feel more strong... because I know there is a family who has got my back and they love no matter what... they wont tag me as a weak person even if I cry in front of them..."
saumya walked out of the room and found rudra listening to their conversation. before saumya could say a word, Rudra hugged her and whispered in her ears that he is proud of what she said and did.
"I love you saumya..."
"I love you too..."
coming to the present, saumya was waiting for Rudra outside the FM staton building. he promised he would pick her up in the evening and they would spend some time together; which saumya was looking forward to. earlier things were not like this... he always had time for her but now he is way too busy... too busy to even make some time for her. too bad she always had time for him... she was now the one who would adjust her routine according to Rudra and the time he makes for her; which wouldnt be on a regular basis. sometimes once a week or sometimes if she is lucky; twice a week.
rudra was running late for picking up saumya but he couldnt leave the office as an emergency came up. only if shivaay would have been there, he would have left without worrying about a thing. but shivaay wasnt around; so Rudra had to step into shoes and handle the situation and as soon as the situation was under control, he left the offce. rudra drove to saumya's fm station building like a maniac and applied brakes before the gate, when he saw a particular sight. his saumya was hugging a guy, outside the building gate and after breaking the hug, he held her hands while she giggled. Rudra sighed and tried controlling his rising temper but when he realised it wasnt happening anytime soon, he decided to call saumya up and tell her it would be impossible for him to make up and she should proceed home.
around 11 in the evening, Rudra reached home and straightaway made his way to saumya's room. he found her sitting on the bed and her books scattered all over the bed. rudra found her looking so cute and he couldnt help but smile; smile at his love angel.
"saumya..."
saumya looked up from her book and found the only person she was dying to see from morning, but something was not right.
"sumo... do you still love me...??"
she knew something was not right. he was drunk. he was clearly drunk and she was now pissed. she could tolerate anything but a drunk man, and she glared at him and his red eyes. was he crying...?? she wondered.
"why did you drink so much Rudra...??" saumya asked.
"you answer me first... do you still love me...??"
Rudra made his way to saumya and pulled her towards him, holding her firmly as if he would lose her if he didnt.
"leave me Rudra.. talk to me when you are sober... this is not the time..." saumya sternly told rudra and tried releasing her from his hold.
the more she tried, the more firm his hold became. the same touch which always delighted her was now making her feel threatened. his touch wasnt the same and she wasnt liking it.
"Rudra go to your room... please leave..." saumya whispered and hoped rudra would listen to her.
"no... i want you to answer me... do you love me..??" rudra yelled and the tears saumya was trying to hold back, rolled down her cheeks.
in less than a minute, Omkara came there and found rudra holding saumya against her will.
"what are you doing Rudra..??" Om asked.
saumya looked helplessly at om with tears rolling her cheeks and then looked away.
"tell me saumya.. tell me you love me..." rudra again said, this time demanding to hear it from her.
"leave her rudra..." om ordered.
"you stay out of it O..." rudra told om, not liking the fact that om was interfering them.
"you cant treat her like that..." said om.
"and she cant cheat on me O... I would kill her if she does..." saying this rudra walked out of the room.
saumya couldnt believe her own ears and fell down on the floor realising that she heard it right. Rudra thinks she is cheating on him and he just accused her in front of his brother. om ran to saumya and made her sit on the bed.
"I didnt cheat on him bhaiya..." saumya told om.
"I know saumya... I know... I never doubt you... trust me Rudra doesnt mean it... you saw he is drunk may be thats why... he loves you... we all know how much he loves you.. right..??" om consoled saumya
"he thinks I cheated on him.. and he even said he would kill me if I does... but I dont have anyone in my life besides him.. I love him bade baal waale bhaiya... I really do..." saumya pleaded as if trying to convince om.
"i know... I know.. we will talk to him tomorrow... and he himself will apologise to you... dekh lena.."
saumya nodded her head in positive and om left her room, leaving her to wait for the sunrise next morning. A sleepless night was ahead of her while the other one dozed off the moment he hit the bed.
