Arnav's phone rang.
He picked it up and said, "Hello! How are you?"
He walked out of the room as he spoke.
"I didn't know you will call me so soon." Pause. "Sure. When can we meet?" Pause. "Where?" Pause. "Eight, it is then." Pause. "Don't worry, sweetheart. My wife is at her friend's place. She will not know about our dinner." Pause. "Listen, baby. Di also does not know about you." Pause. "Haan. Shaadi hone waali hai. But relax, even if my wife comes to know about us, she won't say anything. She loves me a bit too much." Pause. "Having affairs is very common these days. And you know, right? That I like you." Pause. "Nobody will find out about us. See you at eight. Bye, baby."
Unknown…. Or known… to him, Anjali listened to his conversation and was shocked to the core.
Had she heard it right? Did her brother talk about having an affair with another girl?
She leaned on the door and stood rooted to the place for a while. What should she do now? Her brain did not work. Her thoughts went to Siddharth.
She dialled Siddharth's number and said, "Hello Siddharth!"
"Hi, Anjali!"
"Are you free today?"
"Always free for you."
"Be ready at eight. We have to go somewhere."
"Anytime, anywhere. I am ready. Still do you mind me asking where?"
She told him the name of the restaurant.
He accepted even though he did not understand why she called him there.
Anjali looked at the time. It was half past seven. She had been looking at the clock for more than a thousand times during the past one hour.
Arnav noticed this and asked, "Di, do you have to go somewhere?"
She controlled her desire to shout at him and said, "Office jaa rahi hoon. Kuch kaam hai." [I am going to office. Have some work.]
"You are leaving now?" He took out his phone and said, "I'll speak with Siddharth, di. You can work on it tomorrow."
"It's alright. I will be fine."
In their conversation, Arnav noticed that Anjali didn't call him chote. He gave himself a mental pat on his shoulder and controlled his smile.
"If you are comfortable, then it is okay, di."
He got up to leave.
"Are you going somewhere?"
"Haan, di. Office mein ek foreign client ke saath video conference hai." [Yes, di. There is a video conference with a foreign client.]
"Office mein?" [In the office?]
"Yes, di."
She nodded.
After he left, Anjali called Khushi and asked, "Khushi, kahan ho tum?" [Khushi, where are you?]
"Ghar mein, di. Kyun, di?" [At home, di. Why, di?]
"Just asking," she said. "Have any plans for tonight?"
"Nahi, di. Aap ki chote ko ek video conference hai. [No, di. Your chote has a video conference.] Siddhu also has to go somewhere. It is just me, Salt and Pepper. It has been a long time since I played with them. So, I am going to spend tonight with them."
"I'll call you later, Khushi."
"Bye, di."
Khushi disconnected the call and looked at herself in the mirror.
She raised her imaginary collar and said, "Khushi, tum tho great ho." [Khushi, you are great.]
She inspected herself in the mirror and smiled. She knew that Arnav would be shocked.
"All the best, Khushi."
Anjali was tensed and Siddharth noticed it. When he asked her the reason, she just brushed it off telling him that she would share it with him later. They went to the restaurant and Siddharth stopped his Endeavour in the front. The restaurant had valet parking and he gave his keys to a driver. He gave him some instructions, too.
That time, Anjali saw Arnav and a woman in red walking towards him. His mouth was wide open and he stood like a statue without even blinking. The woman waved her fingers at him. He closed his mouth and swallowed hard.
After a lot of trying, he said, "You look stunning."
She hugged him and kissed his cheek. He put his arm around her waist and guided her to a nearby door. He opened it and they entered.
Anjali could not believe what she was seeing. Her brother was really after someone.
Siddharth was by her side by that time.
"Shall we go?" he asked her.
She nodded and she took him to the door through which Arnav and his companion went. The whole room was dark. When they were about to leave, the door closed and they were locked in.
A few seconds later, a whole lot of lights lit the room.
Arnav was waiting for Khushi Raina. Who else would there be? He had told her that he would pick her up but she had refused. She told him that she would drive.
He saw his Volkswagen stop in front of the restaurant and Khushi stepped out of the car.
He blinked a few times to clear his mind. Was he really seeing Khushi? Or was it someone else?
His mouth opened on its own accord and he stared at her as if she was an angel who flew down from heaven.
She wore a red one shoulder gown which reached a few inches below her knees. She had curled her hair and had left it open. He remembered the dress. He had designed it and he had asked her if she would wear it for him. She had denied saying that she wouldn't be comfortable.
"For me…. Once….," he had pleaded.
"I'll think about it," she had said.
She raised her hand and waved her fingers at him.
He tried to speak but no words came out. He gulped hard a few times and found his voice.
"You look stunning," he told her.
She hugged him and kissed his cheek. He then put his arm around her waist and went to a nearby room.
She looked at the decoration in the room and said, "It looks awesome. Don't you think they will have doubts?"
"I have managed everything pretty well."
He opened another door, opposite to the one they entered.
"Where are we going?" she asked him.
"Our long due dinner. Yaad hai? Tumari birthday waali dinner?" [Remember? Your birthday dinner?]
Her smile faltered a bit when he said 'her birthday'. He noticed it and pulled her closer to him. She turned side ways and looked at him. She kissed his cheek.
He gave her a questioning look.
She shook her head and leant on his shoulder.
"Are you in experimenting mood today?" he asked her.
"Kyun?" [Why?]
"Aaj ka menu Italian hai. Pizzas, pasta, ravioli, etc." [Today's menu is Italian. Pizzas, pasta, ravioli, etc.]
"I love pizzas. Others, try kar lethe hai." [I love pizzas. Let me try the others too.]
Khushi looked around. There was only one table in the whole room. Candles were placed everywhere and the dishes were already present on the table. Faint music played in the background.
"Sirf hum dhono?" she asked him. [Only the both of us?]
"Just you and me."
"When did you arrange this?"
"A few hours before."
She looked around and said, "It is awesome."
"I knew you would like it."
He pulled her closer. He put his arms around her waist and they swayed to the music. She let him guide and surrendered herself completely in his arms.
"You look beautiful in this dress," he told her. "But next time, you are going to wear it only in our room."
She smiled and hid her face in his chest.
"Someone is possessive."
"Of course, I am. Do you know how many people stared at you when you walked in?"
"I was watching you. I don't know about others."
Her innocent confession made him fall in love with her even more that he already was. He placed his finger under her chin and lifted her face.
"I love you, jaan."
"Patha hai." [I know.]
He removed his hands from around her and stepped away.
"Come on. Let's eat."
Before he could move away further, she caught his hand. He turned and looked at her. Her eyes were fixed on their hands and he swore that he saw a troubled expression on her face.
He placed his other hand on her cheek and asked, "Kya hua?" [Kya hua?]
"I am sorry."
"Sorry? But why?"
"For not telling you about Siddhu."
"I thought we already crossed this part."
"You were right. I should have told you." Tears pooled in her eyes when she said, "But it does not mean that I don't trust you. I trust you more than my life. Yeh dhobaara kabhi nahi hoga. [This won't happen a second time.] I'll tell you everything. You were hurt as I did not tell you about them. I am…."
He placed his finger on her lips and said, "Bas karo, jaan. [Stop it, jaan.] It's alright. Yes, I was hurt. Later, I understood that once again you were placing di's happiness in the front. When I realized this, it didn't hurt me. I am lucky, jaan. Very lucky to have got someone like you in my life. Tum iss rakshas ki zindagi mein pari bankar aayi ho. Pari kissi ko dhuk de nahi sakthi." [You came into this monster's life like an angel. An angel will never be able to hurt anybody.]
He hugged her tight and their hearts thudded together.
"So, does it mean that you wore this dress to make it up to me?"
She nodded.
"You look beautiful in this. In my eyes, you will look your best when you are in sarees."
"You could have told me that before. I wouldn't have gone to so much trouble."
"Dress uncomfortable hai?"
"Thodi si," she said truthfully. [A little bit.]
"Then how did you wear it?"
"I just wanted to see your reaction. It helped me." She gave him a mischievous smile and said, "And you didn't disappoint me. Would anyone have guessed that the great Arnav Singh Raizada would stand with his mouth wide open in front of his wife?"
"Wife nahi. Life. In front of my life."
"Just think what would have happened to your reputation if some photographer had clicked a picture."
"When it comes to you, I really don't care about my reputation."
"But, I do, Mr. Raizada."
He smiled and asked, "Shall we eat?"
He made her sit on the table and he sat on the chair.
"Tum mujhe khilaadho," he told her. [You feed me.]
When they were busy eating, Khushi remembered about Anjali and Siddharth.
"What will Siddhu and di be doing?"
"I think di will be talking about Shyam."
"Matlab?" [Means?]
"After the whole incident, di never spoke with anybody about her feelings. She didn't open up her hurt, her pain and everything else. If she kept pushing everything deep inside, the result will be much worse. I thought I should make her speak. So, I gave her a chance."
"How do you know she will speak about him?"
"Maine ek baath tumse nahi bataaya. [I didn't tell you one thing.] My phone call with you and the dinner for di was your idea. I changed the dinner concept a little bit. I decorated the room just the way Shyam decorated it during their first wedding anniversary. Di will remember it and she will talk to Siddharth."
She looked at him in shock. "What if she doesn't?"
"She will. And they won't be able to go out of the room till nine. So, they will have a lot of time to talk."
"Do you think this is the right decision?"
"I have been cruel. I know. What I have done will bring back the betrayal. But if she doesn't talk about it, the result will be far worse. It will lead to further mental complications. So, better make her cry for a few days than let her suffer for the rest of her life. The only thing I am sad about is that I am going to be the reason for her tears today and I will not be there by her side to wipe them."
She touched his shoulders and said, "Kaash mujhe bhi tum jaise bhai hota…." [Wish I had a brother like you….]
"Sorry, you are stuck up with your husband."
She blinked back her tears and laughed. "Much better."
Anjali and Siddharth were in the dark room. Suddenly the room lit like a stadium and they looked around.
Siddharth was confused. He wondered whether they had entered the wrong room at the wrong time.
For Anjali, it was as if she was revisiting her first anniversary. Ballons, ribbons, colour papers and lights filled the room. The images of Shyam betraying her, him hurting Khushi, Arnav hurting Khushi, Khushi lying on the hospital bed flashed before her. The images which stood out from the rest was of Shyam cheating on her. She closed her eyes and caught the table next to her for support.
Siddharth noticed her from the corner of his eyes and rushed to her side.
He touched her shoulder and said, "Anjali!"
She opened her tear filled eyes and saw him.
When he saw her tears and the raw pain, he pulled a chair and made her sit on it. He knelt on one knee in front of her and caught her hand.
"Anjali, kya hua? Kyun ro rahi ho?" [Anjali, what happened? Why are you crying?]
Her hold on his hand tightened.
"Yeh decoration'. First anniversary'."
He understood what she wanted to say.
"Kuch nahi hoga tume. [Nothing will happen to you.] He is not coming back. I will not let him come into your life again."
"I thought he was a nice man, Siddharth. But he lied to me. He wrecked a lot of lives. He promised me that he would make me happy. He said he loved me. When dadi told me about him, I didn't want to accept. My heart didn't let me say yes. She saw my hesitation and told me that my parents would have been happy with the choice of such a man. She spoke about my parents and I couldn't deny. I said yes. You were my only true friend in college. When I came to get my TC, you weren't there. Your classmates told me they didn't know where you went."
She caught his collar and asked, "Where did you go, Siddharth? Where did you go when I needed you? Where did you go when I wanted someone to stand beside me and support me? Why weren't you near me to stop me from making the biggest mistake of my life?"
Tears formed in his eyes but he blinked them back. His heart ached to see his only love break apart in front of him and he realized that it wasn't the right time to tell her why he wasn't there in college.
"Shyam was always immersed in his work. He would always go to one place or the other due to some work. At that time, I didn't realize that he was a lawyer and not a police officer and that his work did not really order him to move around."
She wiped her tears and fresh tears fell.
"He broke me completely, Siddharth. He broke my trust. He destroyed me and I don't know what to do. I try to be strong and independent. But still at the end of the day, his betrayal comes to haunt me. It hangs over my head like a black cloud. Is it so wrong to have trusted the man I was married to? Why did it happen to me? Don't I deserve happiness? Why do the people in the Raizada family face such brutal situations? Maa killed herself due to my father's affair with another woman. Nani doesn't know what happened to mausi. Chote lived a life with a stone heart and was filled with coldness for nearly twelve years. Why does this happen, Siddharth?"
He enclosed both her hands in between his and said, "Life is not a path of rose petals, Anjali. It also has thorns in the middle. Shyam is cruel. He hurt you. He broke you. But he did not destroy you. He can never destroy you because he was never able to touch your heart. He tried to show his fake love by giving you materialistic things. You weren't able to differentiate his smooth words from his fake love. Your heart did. It was able to recognize him as the worthless man that he is. That is the reason why you are trying to be strong. You are trying because you know you can."
He wiped her tears.
"One day, you will find true love, Anjali. I promise you that. You will get your share of love. And when you find it, you will know what I am saying. Because the day your heart recognises someone's love for you, you will not be able to step away from it. If that person breaks you'. That will never happen. But still, if it happens, you will not be able to breathe. That time, you will be destroyed. Now, you are not."
"Do you think that someone can glue all my broken parts together and I will be as good as new?" She shook her head. "The scars will always be visible."
"Arnav was a cold and stone hearted man for almost twelve years. But a simple, innocent, happy, fun loving Khushi shook his foundation. She breathed life into his heart. She took his heart and carved it into a beautiful masterpiece. Arnav loved Khushi but still he hurt her. Do you think the way he hurt her didn't leave behind marks in him? They have come a long way from where they started. Do you think they don't carry scars of their past?"
She wasn't able to answer.
"There is a lot of difference in the Arnav you saw in the past and the Arnav you are seeing right now. He speaks what is in his heart. He is laughing. He is happy. He is not frightened to put his heart in the line. Am I right?"
She nodded.
"There is one thing that you people don't know. He lives through every second in fear that someday Khushi might remember everything and leave him. Yet, that does not make him retreat into the shell where he once was. It is not stopping him from laughing or loving or living. Even though Khushi doesn't ask him about it, she knows about his fear. She tries to wipe away that fear with her love. The scars do not matter, Anjali. The feeling, the emotion you share with the other person is what matters. Their hearts may be broken and the lines where it is glued might be visible. Still they are incomplete without each other."
After a short pause he said, "Arnav always tries to make ways to be with Khushi. It was his idea to let us spend all our waking hours in office or at your home. It is not because he is possessive and always wants her near him. The real reason is they find solace with each other. During the past week, Khushi has disappeared from office a lot of times and even you have noticed it. Do you know where she goes? She goes to Arnav. Why? Just to sleep in his arms where the both of them can hear each other's heartbeats."
She looked at both their hands. He placed his finger under her chin and made her face him.
"That is the difference, Anjali. The difference between the one you truly love and the one who married you for all the wrong reasons. You are yet to experience love and when you do, it will take your breath away. Your father betrayed your mother and she killed herself. She should have stayed strong and showed him how she would have lived her life with you and Arnav. Instead she chose what she thought was the easy way out which turned out to be disastrous for all of you. I have faith in destiny, Anjali, but only to an extent. According to me, we have to see what destiny has in store for us and rewrite it with how we want it to be. It does not mean I don't have faith in God. I do. At the same time, I believe in my own hands. We are our own creators and destroyers, Anjali. I told you that day. It is upto you to decide whether you want to forget everything and be happy or stay buried in your hurt and die everyday."
After a long silence, she slowly asked, "Will I be able to forget?"
He gave her a faint smile and said, "Yes. I will help you forget everything."
She closed her eyes and buried her face in her hands.
"Do you trust me, Anjali?"
She removed her hands from her face and nodded.
"Then don't be frightened. Don't be frightened to extend your hand towards your destiny when it walks right in front of you. Don't be frightened to embrace the feelings you get when your heart tells you. Never be frightened to catch hold of the person whom you think will never let you go. And finally, don't be frightened to hope, to love and to live again."
He entwined his fingers with hers and said, "I am right beside you. I will not let you go. I will not let you fall. I will not let anybody hurt you. I will not let your fears conquer you. I will always be with you and make sure you get all the happiness you deserve."
He had directly or indirectly stripped himself bare and laid down his true feelings in front of her. Shyam's betrayal had clouded Anjali's vision and she wasn't able to realize that whatever she had heard were the true feelings of a man who loved her for the past ten years and was still in love with her.
