He smiled towards his mother not wanting to spoil her mood, he side hug her and excused himself. He signal antra to meet him in person. He was damn angry with her non sense drama, how could she be pregnant when he never touched her unless she had an affair with someone else " yeh kya drama hai antra" he inquired " kya akshat, this is the truth i m pregnant" " when we never came close than how is this possible" " before our marriage you were very drunk and came to me, when this all happened, i know it will take some time to accept" he knew whatever she was stating was false what he was worried about is of guddan reaction. " i want you to have a thorough examination for me to be content"
Here guddan came back after she got the news, she doesnt know how to react, they had been together just last night giving into their desire. He saw her standing outside the room, she came in and hugged her " congratulation to both of you " and left for her room.
She royally ignored him throughout the day but alas he got hold of her " stop ignoring me guddan" " leave my hand please" " chorne k kye nhi pakra hai yeh haath" he hold her from her shoulder " listen to me , she has lied very cleverly" " woh jhoot kyun bolegi" " yeh mujhe nhi pta , but believe me there is no truth in it" " i dont know what to make out of it " " i swear on our unborn child (dead) that we have no sorts of relation and i'll prove to you that" she quietly hugged him, inner thought " i know for first time that antra is lieing but i m confused but i'll not react until i know everything"
A day later doctor came to check and confirmed whatever she stated , guddan was devastated and tension grew akshan apart. Guddan's trust was still intact but doubt was creating its own place. Meanwhile akshat left for business trip to shimla. Antra was relaxed as soon as he left for month long trip.
Guddan had a fear of unknown, akshat was away and upset, they had differences that was because of her. One fine day guddan went to guest room to take out some stuff related to resturant when she saw antra talking to someone, she went near and could hear her very clearly. She was beyond shock and was guilty enough.
She took next flight to shimla to meet akshat. She reached jindal guest house , she looked for him but he was out for a meeting. She kept waiting for him getting bored she switch the TV. Scrolling through different she stop at one of the news channel telecasting news of landsliding which caused few people there lives, she saw his car and no. Plate and was shit scared " please God, akshat should be fine, nothing should happen to him" meanwhile the landline rang she immediately pickup " who is this" " Mrs Jindal" " we are sorry to inform you that you husband is no more" receiver slipped from her hands " this is a lie, he cant just leave me like this , he promised to stay. Kabhi maine usey apne dil ki baat bhi nhi btayi, woh mujhse naraz chale gaya" she was sobbing bitterly when she heard him calling her out " guddan" she ran and hugged him tightly , kissing all over his face but he never reciprocate. The distance that was between them halted him.
Later both had a quite dinner, she wanted to strike a conversation but he was in no mood. They went to sleep on same bed but both at end of each corner, she thought maybe he will cuddle her to sleep like other nights. Both slept facing each others back. She was crying because of the distance and earlier trauma,trying her best to control the noise. Akshat was awake, he wanted to ignore her , her sobbing but remained unsucessful his love and care for her overpowered his anger. Turning around he pulled her caging her into his arm, he caressed her back till she calm down " main bht dar gayi thi" he was silent." Ap kch bol kyun nhi rahe" " kya bolun guddan" saying so he went and stood by the window.
She back hugged him, he was this upset for very first time never ever has she faced his wrath always his love " mujhe pta hai ap naraz hai mujhse, par is tarhan khamosh kyun hogaye hai, apko gussa hai na koi baat hai, apka gussa bhi bardasht kr lein ge" " mere gussa ka aur tumhari fikar ka kya karun jab hamare beech koi rishta hi nahi hai, na pyaar ka, na bharose ka aur na hi miyan biwi ka " she cupped his face " aisa kyun bol rahe ho, humare beech yeh teeno rishte hain" " par sirf yaqtarfa, jo main tumhare liye mehsus krta hun woh tum mere liye nhi krti" " aisa nhi hai" " agar aisa nhi hai toh kyun bharosa nhi kiya meri baat jab main keh raha tha k antra jhoot bol rahi hai" " mujhe pta tha k antra jhoot bol rahi hai bas main yeh khud dhundna chah rahi thi k woh aisa kyun kr rahi hai, akshat main apki patni bhi hun, ap pe bharosa bhi krti hun aur ap se bht mohabbat bhi krti hun bs kabhi izhaar nhi kiya" akshat stayed silent didnt utter a single word but he was happy that she was opening up " ap krte hain na humse pyaar, kyun k hum apse bht pyaar krte hain , i love you " he waited four years to hear those three magical words " i love you too " he hugged her tightly " main toh tumse gussa bhi nahi hoskta, tumhe dekh k meri saansein chalti hai, jeene ka zariya ho tum meri, jaan ho meri, 4 saal tarpaya hai mujhe aur khud ne 4 din main rona daal rakha hai " he teased her , they went back to their earlier position. She begin kissing on his neck " stop guddan, aj nhi " she turned around her back facing his front " now you know how i used to feel" he asked she just nodded her head, he placed a tender kiss on her shoulder, pinning her underneath he claimed her lips sailing through the night of passion.
