Faking relationships.
The same old story.
More than getting hurt, he was bored, bored of getting hurt numerous times, to an extent that he wasn't even sad today. It felt normal. Perhaps, trust was too rare a thing now. Self-interest; even in relationships was the new cool. And being the real you was the most vulnerable position.
After a while, he had stopped minding Rudra's continuous leg pulling of their relationship. ShivRu had always been his support but in Chulbul he had found someone who would simply look ahead in life. The toughest of the situations were made so simple by him. It was because of him that Jhanvi entered into her own business and that he could answer Tej smartly. He had given him hope and now, suddenly it was all gone.
He closed his eyes and the flashbacks of the morning haunted him. Svetlana wanting to throw Jhanvi out and taking over Oberoi mansion and Chulbul revealing himself as Gauri: she had blurted the truth out to ShivRu sometime ago who had planned all of this to save Om. He had no option but to live with her as a husband to get rid of Svetlana. Her game was over. Her truth was out and Tej Singh Oberoi had been shown his place.
Numb
This was what he felt now. Another person came in his life who he thought he could trust and share his feelings with and again, that was proved to be a lie. The thought that Gauri did all this to just take a chance to be the Oberoi bahu didn't affect him at all- perhaps, being the Oberoi bahu was so much in demand- as if it's the last thing left in the earth. That too, after seeing the condition of his mother and Anika bhabhi, who went through new insults every day from one person or the another. He knew that the marriage had no meaning, he would end it soon but he was bored of lies and liars. Chulbul had brought simplicity in his life and Gauri had taken it away once again.
Her footsteps brought him out of the trance.
Kyu ayi ho yahan? Chahti ho ki mai tumhe thankyou bolu ya ye puhu ki ye sab tumne kyun kiya?'
Nahi Omkara. Hum samjha nahi paenge ki ye sab humne kyu kia. Bas itna kehna chahte hai ki mahatav baat ka hota hai na ki jo insaan usse keh raha hai uska'
He looked at her. She clearly meant about his conversations with her as Chulbul. Weird it was; she didn't give any explanations to him about the whys and hows. And once again spoke as Chulbul would have. He had remembered one of their conversations.
Hum sab perobelem ka hal nahi khojte; sochte hai toh bas yeh ki jo humare sath ho raha hai who hume chahiye ya nahi; us se hum khus hai ya nahi. Magar zndagi humare hisaab se nahi, humein zindagi ke hisaab se chalne hota hai.'
Saying this she turned her back and went. His heart told him to do the thing that he had started to be the most scared of: Trust her
