Hola Ghumians,
As I have already said it that this story was supposed to be a SS of a few chapters, initially planned to rewrite the big dramas that happened in the show in a different way. Then me being me, I ended up writing so many other details, adding new scenes, bringing another villain(Saurabh), writing a new character for Samrat... story ki disha hi badal gayi.
So this part is one of the scenes from the show for which I actually started writing this story. Finally I have written it after 23 chapters. Congratulations to me. 👏 Stop the sarcasm Muguet. 😳
I remember how I hated the fact that Sai went to Pulkit's house. Going to a professor's house for lunch sounded quite illogical to me. Virat manhandling her even though he didn't realize it and when he did he regretted it for days, was still inacceptable. 😕 Then he also refused to give her food which left a very bad taste. 😕 So I wanted that part to be written in a different way. The after effect of the fight might get more intense than the episode.
No more spoiler. Thanks for reading and the lovely reviews. 😳
Lucky you. I am updating earlier than planned so forgive me for the grammatical errors.😆
Sai smiled nervously at Samrat who through his eye ensured her that he will handle everything. Virat watched her walking out of the house. He clenched his fist then turned his head towards Samrat. He glared at him for a while. Samrat knew Virat was furious which he wasn't going to express but keep it in his heart.
« This Jungli Mulgi is hell bent on spoiling every party of this house. », Kaku acccused her.
« Why will this party get spoilt for one person. Everyone please go get ready. », Virat requested.
Saying this he rushed to his room and let himself fall on the bed. He had asked his wife one thing to fix her relationship with his Kaku but Sai being Sai she had to go against him. Where did she go ? He hoped she wasn't calling for more trouble. As if Jaghtap and Saurabh weren't enough.
The wedding went without any disturbance. The newlyweds invited their friends who supported them during their tough time for lunch to which Sai refused. She explained to them that her entire family was waiting for her to celebrate her Kaku's birthday. They understood her obligations and let her go.
Virat got ready and came out from his room while Samrat was already there and both came face to face.
« Tu theek toh hai na ? », Samrat asked after staring at each other for some time.
« Kya farak padta hai. », Virat replied bitterly.
He walked down and Samrat followed him. As soon as the women came down, they all gathered around the table for a feast. Samrat made Ashwini sit with them like Luna did a few days ago. He also asked Pakhi to eat with them but she preferred to serve everyone first before taking place next to him. Everyone was happy excepted Virat. He was a little worried for his wife and a little angry for not respecting the family. He just stirred his meal with the fork without eating. How could he when he had no idea where his wife was and what she was doing ? When they were in the middle of the lunch, Sai showed up. She immediately joined them in the dining area.
« Thank God I am in time. I am so hungry Aayi. », she said.
« Go wash your hand and I am serving you the food. », Ashwini replied.
« Why ? Didn't they serve food at the party ? », Virat asked bitterly.
« Virat Sir, I already told you that I didn't go to attend a party. I went to help a friend. », she replied.
« Chhod na Godu. », Ashwini requested his son. « Usha hasn't eaten yet. She was waiting for you. », she said to Sai.
Usha joined them and served two plates of food for Sai and herself. Virat couldn't take it anymore. Sai was behaving like nothing happened before leaving the house. She didn't even bother to explain anything to him. He stood up from his seat and left. Sai was confused.
« Virat Sir, why are you leaving the table in the middle of your lunch. », she asked.
« Tumse matlab ? If you can leave the house even when I told you not to then what right do you have to ask me why I am leaving the table? », he replied annoyed.
« If you are leaving because of me then please don't. If there is someone who should leave then it's me. », she said.
« Mein aram se jaa raha hoon aur tum aram se khaa lo. Har cheez ke liye toh drama zaroori nahin hai na ? », he replied.
« Virat, why are you behaving like a kid ? Tu bhi toh drama kar raha hai. », Samrat tried to pacify the situation.
Virat looked angrily at his brother as if he wanted to telll him that he shouldn't have said that.
« If you don't want me to eat then it's ok I won't eat but you please don't go. », Sai said.
« Think whatever you want. That's what you always do. », Virat replied.
« Usha Maushi leave it. We won't eat this. », Sai ordered Usha.
« Why are you both so stubborn ? Dono ke dono chup chap behet kar khaao. », Ashwini ordered.
Kaku and her gang enjoyed the drama without uttering a word. Virat had enough of it. All he wanted is to go away to calm himself but they all made the stituation worse. He was about to leave when the words of his wife not only angered him more but hurt him too.
« Please get yourself some food from outside. », Sai told Usha giving her the money.
« What are you trying to prove Sai ? Why do you always take my words in a wrong way ? I decided to leave because this place is suffocating me. I didn't stop you from eating. But if you don't want to eat then don't. Why make it look like you are not allowed to have food ? », he finally lashed out.
« I didn't want... », she wanted to say something.
« Whom do you think you are showing this attitude to with the money ?You are showing attitude to me with my own money ? Wooow !!! », he continued.
« Just because I went against you, you are angry with me and scolding me since morning. If you think I am showing attitude to you by using your money then I don't need your money. », she said angrily
She took out the wad of notes given by him and pressed it against his chest. Everyone were shocked and got up. Virat caught the bundle of cash from falling and closed his eyes. He reopened them and walked towards the stairs. He saw her give some money to Usha.
« This is Aaba's money. Please, get yourself something to eat. », Sai told Usha.
Virat listened to it and hurt he went to his room. Sai also left the place leaving everyone shocked. Bhavani's birthday officially got ruined.
« People often taunt me that I talk inappropriately but today it's you who talked without thinking. Look at Virat's plate. He didn't even have a bite. He was right. He didn't leave because of Sai. He just didn't want to eat. », Pakhi said.
Samrat looked at the plate and sighed. As much as he hated to admit but his wife was right. His brother was angry, frustrated and worried. That's why he was unable to eat and he blamed him for creating drama. Bhavani was now sure the brothers were at loggerhead about something. Ashwini requested everyone to finish their meal. Once they left the table, Ashwini went to check on her children. Virat wasn't in his room and Sai was pacing up and down in anger.
« Shaant meri bachchi shaant. », Ashwini told her.
« Kaise Aayi ? How could Virat Sir stop us from eating and how could he blame me for showing attitude using his money ? », Sai cried.
« Calm down, Sai. He didn't mean it that way. He was worried for you. », Ashwini tried to calm her down.
« Aayi if you want to take your son's side then please leave me alone. », Sai said.
« Achcha theek hai. I am going to get you food. Please, eat it. », Ashwini said.
« Nahin khaana hai mujhe. », Sai sulked.
Ashwini shook her head. Her son and daughter-in-law were like two kindergarten children.
A few hours passed since the both saw each other's face. He was at the balcony and she was in the room. The rest of the members tried to make Kaku happy but she was more bothered with Samrat and Virat being in a fight than her birthday getting ruined by Sai and Virat's fight. She cut the cake without the two and Pakhi made tea. She then prepared a food tray and went to the balcony. She couldn't accept it that Virat didn't have food since morning because of his wife. When he saw her, he didn't like it.
« Please Pakhi, leave me alone. I am not hungry. », he requested.
« I know you are angry at Sai and Samrat but please don't torture yourself for them. », she put the tray on the table.
« What happens between me and my wife or me and my brother, it's between us. I don't want you to get involved. », he said.
« Don't take your frustration out at me now, Virat. », she said.
« Don't annoy me then. », he ordered her.
« I know it hurts to see your own brother support your wife instead of you. », she said.
« You are right actually. », he replied with sarcasm. « You know what ? Jeeva and Shiva still would have l been one if I had not requested you to get married to my brother but instead should have stopped the wedding because if I had then so many lives wouldn't have been ruined. Samrat's, yours, mine and Sai's. », he said.
« True. If you had then we could have got married. », she said getting happy.
« Stop Pakhi. It's not always about you and me. I wouldn't have married you anyway even if Samrat had asked me to. », he got angry.
« So you never loved me and I was never your priority ? », she asked.
« What priority are you talking about ? We met for two days, we liked each other, dreamed of a future together. It didn't happen and that's it. Sach boloon toh mujhe tumse bichhar ne se koi gham nahin hai. Agar tumhe hain toh aapne aapko koso. You were the one who decided to block my number and move on. We could have been together like you always wanted if only you were a little patient and less self obsessed », he lashed out at her.
« Like I wanted ? You mean to say that you never wanted ? And you really are not upset that I am not a part of your life ? », she asked shocked.
« I am happy that you aren't in my life. », he said firmly.
« Of course. Now that you have Sai, who am I right ? », she asked.
« What has Sai to do in all of this ? We are talking about us. Don't even dare to insult her or our relationship. », he ordered her.
« So she is forgiven already ? And here I thought you were mad at her. », she mocked him.
« Now I understand. You came here thinking that my fight with Sai will make me go running to you. Pakhi why are you making your life so miserable. Sai and I don't understand each other but at least you have a husband who wants to understand you. Please, be grateful. », he said bitterly.
Pakhi left with tears. Every time she tried to remind him that she loved only him, he pushed her towards his brother. Today he even told her that he was happy without her. He was happy being married to Sai. On the other hand, Virat's head started aching. As if his wife's stubbornness and his brother's interference weren't enough that even Pakhi started her nonsense. But he was glad that he could tell her he wasn't bothered a bit about not having a present and a future with her. He knew from the beginning that they weren't meant to be together and it was time she could accept it too. Virat picked up the tray and went to his room. Sai didn't eat since morning and he was sure she was having a headache. He found her sitting in the armchair surrounded by her books.
He put the tray on the table, « Please Sai, eat something or else you will get a headache. »
Neither did she reply to him nor looked up at him but she was happy that he still cared for her even though they were angry with each other. After virat went to the washroom to change his outfit, she closed her eyes for a couple of minutes as he was right her migraine was back again. When he came out from the washrooom she was already asleep in that tiny armchair. He kneeled down and gazed at her. Every time he thought things were getting better between them, there was another misunderstanding making its way to ruin their lives. Either he was hurting her or she was hurting him or sometimes both were hurting each other at the same time.
Sai woke up at four in the morning with a huge migraine. She took her medicines and went to the kitchen. She prepared the breakfast and then took a shower. She got ready and went to the balcony to study. It was only six o-clock. She had at least one hour to study. Virat woke up at seven and didn't find Sai in the room as usual. When people say that a good night sleep brings inner peace, they were right he thought, because all he wanted was patch up with his wife. He ran to the washroom for a shower and quickly got ready. By the time he came down, everyone was already in the living room waiting for the breakfast. Virat greeted everyone and asked his mother where Sai was. She informed him that she has already left for college.
Sai hasn't eaten for twenty four hours now and that was the cause of her bad mood. She took another painkiller for her headache and attended her classes. Virat reached the police station and tried her number a few times to invite her for lunch but she didn't pick up the call. He knew she was angry with him but what she didn't know was that he also didn't have food for twenty four hours but still cared for her. By the lunch time when she didn't take his call for the seventh times, he said to himself. « This time even I will act stubborn and won't eat. Let's see who wins, Sai. ». He never thought that he would one day go on a hunger strike but his wife had the power to make him lose it completely.
Pakhi was lost in her thought when Samrat entered the room and saw her sad.
« Virat skipped one meal and see how sad you are ? », he taunted her bringing her out of her thoughts.
« Shouldn't you be concerned too for him as a brother ? He hasn't skipped only one meal but four meals since yesterday but how will you know that ? All you care is about you. Your pain, your heartbreak. No one else's pain is more important than yours. Your brother is also hearbroken. He sacrificed his love for you. He was forced to marry a girl who creates drama everyday. He has to listen to everyone's taunts because of her. He has lost a brother he loved more than his ownself but that brother is so selfish that he sees no one else other than himself. », Pakhi said whatever was in her heart.
Samrat was stunned. He didn't agree to everything she said but she was right about Virat being also in a tough situation. It wasn't easy for him too to deal with all the things.
