Hey guyzz...back with an other boring smalll OS...Alll sort of comments and criticisms are welcome wholheartedly with both open arms...
Shiv and Anandi reached home from the Badi haveli. Anandi was very depressed coz everyone from the singh family was blaming her for sending Jagya to Mumbai and they were not understanding her at that point. Shiv could not handle his wife's gloomy mood or face. He wanted to see her happy always and any point where he found his wife was gloomy it felt like thousand daggers being stabbed straight into his heart. Anandi mechanically moved to their bedroom and sat on her side of the bed. Shiv was behind Anandi, he too entered the room and made sure that he locked their room properly and sat besides Anandi. He held Anandi's hand and squeezed her hand as if comforting her, giving her strength. Anandi looked at him and smiled at him. Shiv moved to the sidetable and took a glass of water and handed to his wife. Anandi drank the water and thanked him for being with her at every step. Shiv said that she does not need to thank him as watever he is doing is doing out of his love for her and nothing considering as a responsibility or a duty, and today whatever she did in regard to Jagya was absolutely fair and he is not saying this coz he is her husband, but coz what she did was right. Anandi smiled at his statement.
Shiv wanted to make the atmosphere more light and in that pretext asked her about the incomplete story of her friend who was in love. Anandi was shy and her eyes were beaming with happiness when he asked this and Shiv noticed this change in hers and despite her refusing to continue the unsaid part, he kept on forcing her to say and Anandi had to finally give up to say but she did not know how to put her feelings in words.
Anandi said that one of her friends used to dream of suryabadal, the king, who used to come with his face covered and used to help everyone in trouble. She
used to get this dream of suryabadal helping her but could never see his face clearly. She met the suryabadal in real too, but did not recognize him nor did
she even realize or imagine that God will be so generous to her that she will be blessed with the most precious gift of meeting her suryabadal one day. Shiv
was very keenly listening to his wife's friend's story. Anandi said that her friend was going through a tough phase of her life when suryabadal came in her life, but she was not aware that the person whom fate brought near to her to work with was noone other than her suryabadal and destiny had much in its store. They used to argue a lot while at work. She used to suggest something which he used to refuse but later accept it. He used to help her in her work but she used to get angry thinking that he is helping her coz he feels that she is incapable of doing it on her, their egoes used to clash very badly initially, but
gradually it turned out to be a relation of trust and friendship and ultimately the man fell in love with her, but she rejected his love and not just
rejected but even humiliated him badly. He was there with her at every step to protect her, to save her, to guide her, to help her in every way possible. He
truly was her suryabadal and she could not realize it then. Circumstances forced them to be in a marital relation which infront of the whole world was the most blissful realtion. He had wholeheartedly accepted her, but she could not as her past haunted her, her past of she being in love and having
shared her most precious part of her existence with someone else was pondering her and hence could not comply to the role of the wife completely. Her
suryabadal who was her husband now gave her time and space to comply herself to be his wife completley and he was very successful in that as his wife,
suryabadal's wife was now in love with her husband, in love with her suryabadal. Suryabadal was very successful in changing his wife. Suryabadal's love, affection, care, changed his wife. His wife could easily fight over her past and is no more guilty and she fell in love with her husabnd, her suryabadal, but the problem is that she is unable to share her feelins with her husband. She is unable to tell her suryabadal that just like him she tooo loves him a lot.
Shiv was very keenly listening to her and was having a smile on his face. Shiv took Anandi's hand and told her that love is a thing which should never be
hidden, it has to be expressed at any and every point in time. Shiv saw a glow on his wife's face all the while when she was narrating the story of her
friend. He was somwhere hoping that she is narrating her own story coz the incidents which she narrated were similar to that of his and Anandi's. One part of his heart said to ask her and the other not to ask, but he was very curious to her from Anandi that she is narrating her own story. He took courage and finally asked her, "Anandi do i know ur friend who is in love with her husband?" Anandi did not understand what to say and what not to. She was just silent and was staring at Shiv's face. shiv tapped her on her shoulder finding her lost and asked her where she was lost. Anandi said nothing, she just smiled at him. Shiv then asked her the reason for her looking different today and the secret behind her being more happier than ever. Anandi said nothing, just smiled at him nodding as if saying no. Shiv asked her the reason for bringing lunch to office and she preparing all her favorite dishes for today and even feeding her kheer for dinner though he said that he had his dinner outside with the govt officers. Anandi said that she just felt like doing and hence did it. Shiv was now losing his patience and did not know how to show his curiosness and in a sudden breath asked her, "Anandi, the story which u just narrated about ur friend, r u referring urself as ur friend." Anandi was shocked on hearing this and she suddenly got up from the bed and ran towards the window facing her back to him.
Shiv was confused at her behavior. He for a second felt that he hurt her feelings again, not knowing what to do or say, he moved towards Anandi and turned her by her shoulders. Anandi immediately covered her face with both her hands. Shiv was more and more confused at this behavior of his wife, coz she behaved very strangely today. Shiv asked her the reason and she hid her face in her palms and nodded a no. Shiv took courage and asked should he beleive that the friend and suryabadal whom she was talking about until now were noone other than she and he himself. Anandi suddenly hugged Shiv very tightly and said, Shiv u r my suryabadal and what u guessed is true. Shiv was shocked at first for split seconds but was later very happy, he did not know how to express his feelings then, but he wanted to be very very sure before moving to the next level or even thinking of the next level. He lifted Anandi's face and looked into her eyes and asked her to repeat the sentence again. Anandi first nodded a no, but on seeing Shiv's curiosness and anxiety, she cupped his face and said the most precious three words in this universe, Shiv I love u very much,,,main aapse bahut pyaar karti hooon. Shi's happiness had no boundaries. Tears of happiness rolled from his eyes. Anandi also had tears in her eyes. Shiv was just staring at her doing nothing except that his eyes were producing tears and were just rolling down his cheeks. Anandi wiped Shiv's tears and pulled him in a very tight embrace. Shiv responded to Anandi with a bonecrashing hug. Both of them stood near the window hugging each other feeling each other for eternity with the sky, the moon, and the stars being a witness to their confession and a witness to a new love story which would last for eternity...
