Part 1
It had been a week since Antara came back. Never in her wildest dreams had Guddan imagined that there will come a day when she’ll remotely feel miserable regarding someone’s happiness and here she was succumbing to the misery every second.
Antara’s return had been nothing short of a typical Bollywood masala film. That day, the family was having a typical breakfast except the fact that she had cooked and Akshat had been admiring her. Probably. And then the doors were thrown open and everyone had their eyes popping out in disbelief on seeing the dead Antara Jindal walk in looking way more alive than she did in the portrait. Akshat was overcome with happiness as he kissed and hugged his Antara while the sons hugged their mother and Bahus took her blessings. In all of this, she stood forgotten until Antara noticed her and asked about her.
Everyone had went silent. And Akshat’s face was flooded with guilt of how he will explain to his Antara that he had remarried and so she took it upon herself to help him out of this mess and swallowed down the tears threatening to burst and introduced herself as Angad’s fiance’s sister. It was the truth but only partially.
Dadi and Lakshmi bahu had tried to share the truth with Antara but it didn’t really matter to Guddan when the one person that mattered the most couldn’t care less about the truth and lies, because he was happy.That’s all that had mattered to her. As long as he was happy.
Out of helplessness, Guddan closed her eyes as a treacherous tear drop managed to break the confines of her lid and ran its course across her cheek.
“Must have been someone really terrible to make you cry, Guddan ji!”
Guddan sniffed and wiped her cheeks dry to look at Vikram who had made himself comfortable on the sofa, by her side.
He had come two days back on being informed about his sister’s revival. Obviously, he had been overjoyed. The sister who was more than a mother had come back from the dead, his happiness was beyond the clouds. But all was not rosy. Akshat Jindal was bursting with happiness but his second wife, Guddan Akshat Jindal remained forgotten in the shadow of his sister.
“I-I am not crying”,Guddan forced a smile across her lips as Vikram chuckled and raised his hand,took that drop of something akin to a tear from the corner of her eyes, on his finger.
He looked at it keenly and then looked at Guddan, “Then is this watery substance a pearl or something, Guddan ji?”
Guddan remained mum as his eyes scrutinized her. Feeling vulnerable, she got up to leave when his words stopped her.
“Why are you tolerating this pain? Shouldn’t you just leave because Akshat Jindal obviously doesn’t care much now”, He asked taking a bite from his aaple.
“He cares and I know it. And I don’t think it’s wrong to want to spend the time with the woman you’ve loved your entire life. And I’m sure you are really happy too”, Guddan defended.
Vikram stood up, “I am happy because my sister is happy. Akshat Jindal will probably bring her the moon and the stars if she asks for them, I’m sure. But I’m not the kind of scum who will turn a blind eye to someone’s pain especially when that someone tried her best to bring me out of my misery”.
Turning Guddan around by holding her wrist, he wiped her tears gently with his handkerchief. “Guddan Ji, I liked you better when you would threaten and glare at me, tears ….I think you should preserve for your acting stints”.
And with that cracking half a smile, Vikram walked off. This exchange was however observed by someone who wasn’t very pleased about the manner in which Vikram had consoled Guddan.
~*~*~*~*~*~
“Ahhh!” Guddan shrieked as she clenched her eyes tightly.
“Arre! You started crying again! Dhyaan se Guddan ji, your dear husband won’t tolerate even a mg of sodium content extra!” Vikram joked making himself comfortable on the kitchen counter, opposite to the stove where Guddan was cooking something.
‘I AM NOT CRYING!Hamari aankhon mein mirchi chali gayi hai!” Guddan shouted moving around like a blind idiot.
Vikram chuckled amused, “Tadka sabzi mein lagana tha, aankhon mein nhi, Guddan ji!”
“Are you here to crack jokes?!” Guddan asked irritated as she slammed into the wall.
“No, but it seems like I’ll be able to watch you crack open your skull....” Vikram ridiculed.
“Ek baar..hamari aankh theek hone dijiye..hum phirr…” Guddan threatened while walking towards the refrigerator when Vikram pulled her back in the nick of time as she collided into him.
“Phir kya, Guddan Ji?”He asked seriously.
“H-hum aapko dekh lenge!!” Guddan slammed her legs irritated.
Vikram chuckled. He was enjoying this a bit much. But he liked Guddan this way, fiery and feisty.
“You are dying to see me that much!” Vikram mocked as he led her to the wash basin.
“Kutta paalo, billi paalo par galatfehmi mat paalo!” Guddan cleared.
“Lijiye, the washbasin is here”, Vikram interrupted and positioned her hands under the tap and turned it on.
Guddan was about to wipe her eyes off, when he stopped her. “You really are an idiot. I wonder how exactly I lost to you”.
Guddan turned to him offended, “What’s that supposed to mean?”
“Nothing but the fact that your hands have way more red on them than your eyes. You’ll only make it worse so let me help you”.
And with that he held her neck and bending it down, splashed her eyes.
“Try to open them slowly..”Vikram suggested as he leaned closer and blowed slowly on her eyes.
Guddan blinked her eyes and slowly started to open them when a voice roared across.
“What the HELL is happening here?!”
Vikram’s brows rose amused to see AJ seething in red hot anger. Guddan turned around to face Akshat who had his brows furrowed.
“Vikram ji was helping me”, Guddan replied innocently and turned to leave because being in Akshat’s vicinity was a torture these days, when her feet slipped on the water that had fallen on the floor due to splashing by Vikram.
Akshat made a dash for her but Vikram was much closer.Extending his palms, he caught Guddan by her waist who caught his shirt for support and ripped open all his buttons, exposing his vest covered frame.
Akshat clenched his fist and gritted his teeth. For the first time in his life, he wanted to thrash Vikram’s face into the nearest wall.
As Vikram straightened Guddan away, she profusely apologized.
“I will accept this apology if you will put these buttons back!” Vikram signaled to the buttons strewn across the floor as Guddan bent down to pick them.
“Vese, you do know right, how to sew the buttons?!” Vikram asked as Guddan got up.
“What do you even think of me?! Humein aata hai!” Guddan pointed her forefinger at him,annoyed.
“In that case…”Vikram trailed as he removed the shirt there and then and hung it on her forefinger, “Happy sewing!”
“How dare that Vikram….”Akshat had just taken a dangerous step in oblivious duo’s direction when a hand patted on his shoulder and he turned around to see Antara.
“Can you see what I am seeing Akshat?” Antara asked looking in duo’s direction where Guddan had closed her eyes like an embarrassed child and Vikram was chuckling.
“What?!” Akshat barked, annoyed but Antara failed to notice.
“Yahi ki Vikram has been alone all his life because of me. But now I am back and I want my brother to have his share of happiness..” Antara smiled seeing the duo squabble with each other.
“W-What do you mean?”Akshat stammered troubled, as if he already had a foreboding.
“I think that Guddan ji is the best life partner Vikram can ever have. She is that breeze of innocence he needs in his life. And I think, if its Guddan ji, the probability of love happening to Vikram is 100%”.
And with that announced, she looked in the duo’s direction with a content smile on her lips while Akshat had his narrow eyes widened to their limit, out of sheer disbelief.
‘Guddan a-and Vi-ikram!’
So how was it, folks?!😉
So there will be two-three parts more to this story. And let me warn you, you won’t be getting any Akshan scenes but Guddan and Vikram scenes and Akshat burning in jealousy scenes! So read at your risk! Though I’d say that rather than seeing Guddan shed silent tears on Akshat’s love for Antara, I’d like Akshat to reel in troubles and jealousy as he’ll have to conspire with his purani biwi to set up his Guddan with Vikram, against his wishes! It will be superr-fun, I’m telling you!!😈
