'More Than Love...'
Finally Yash slept.Aarti slowly got up and kissed on his forehead,covered him with sheet.she was about to leave,his hand hold hers unconsciously.she silently adored him and replaced a pillow in her place.he embraced it like it was Aarti.seeing this,she smiled.it made her ensure that he was in deep sleep.she took her laptop,sat on the sofa.she was very happy.she started typing-
Today,i'm a happily married woman.few years ago,an accident changed my life.i was in love with Soham,my childhood and best friend.he was my love and everything.like other couples,we used to have fights,but without talking,we couldn't live only a minute.he was so perfect for me.his parents liked me,i also managed my parents to accept our relation.one day,mom told me that they had fixed our engagement date.i was so happy.i felt very excited to see his surprised face hearing this news.i called him at once and told to come soon,there was a surprise for him.i just wanted to adore his bright face.in the way,he had an accident and he didnt return for ever.i had lost my everything.it was not the fact,i considered myself as his murderer.as his last conversation was with me,police called me.there was his parents too.i told everything about it.they confirmed it was just an accident.suddenly,his parents was shouting at me calling murderer.his sudden death made me shocked.every moment,i was feeling he would get up and laugh at me saying-fool.i was waiting to happen this miracle.on the other hand,his parents was cursing me.i knew it was natural behavior for any parents.i was standing there like a statue with little hope.i couldn't think him dead.i went to home and locked my room.all i could see in my eyes was darkness.till my 16th year,he was with me in every happiness and sorrows.i wanted to cry out,but i needed his shoulder to cry.my room was decorated by all his gifts.i was touching his things,was wishing heartily,i would have aladin's lamp,i would want him back.i couldnt see his last face.i was so guilty,i couldnt face others.
After few days,everything went normal.all accepted this truth except me.i was confined in the four walls of my room,which was full of his memories.i hadn't sipped water,how could i?he used to call me in every meal time.mom and dad tried much to eat something.when they forced me to eat,i used to vomit.at last,they called doctor.doctor consulted them to bring me to a psychiatrist as i was too much weak but all-right.unwillingly,they bought a Psychiatrist.she talked with me 5 mins.then she told them i was mentally disturbed.i was losing the living hopes.let me live as i wish.she gave some medicines and strictly told them not to force me for anything.it was my last year in graduation.my parents wanted me to complete it and live my own life.i wanted to die,to get rid of guiltiness and to be with Soham.they thought i would be normal in a month.like this,few months passed.my lil sister Pari tried to talk with me,i always talked about Soham.all tried their best,but none could take me forward from that incident.
After 1 year,Yash Scindia came in my life.sorry,i never thought him a part of my life.he came with a proposal to marry me.it was like a joke for my family.he informed them he met me in a marriage ceremony a few years ago.then he went to abroad to complete studies and now he was an established businessman.my parents refused him in a word.he was shocked.he asked them why they were taking his proposal so lightly?they didnt tell him the reason as my neighbors were gossiping about me.Pari saw a ray of hope for me in his eyes.so she called him and told everything.he couldn't believe,he wanted to meet me once.somehow,he came.i was surprised to see a stranger in my room.my parents was looking at him like a criminal.he told them to talk with me privately.i was adoring my Soham's pic.he told me-i want to marry u. i felt he was kidding. Me-'what'?i cant,he's my life.i cant think anyone in his place.he replied-he was a part of ur life.god would take ur life in such accident,if u were dead,would u ever want him to live such?none'll take his place,i dont want to take.marry me,i wont be a bad hubby.it was our first conversation.in this year,none didnt talk with me like him,even not my family members.he was so straight to his words.it was compatibility,the 1st impression of him in my mind.i said yes for marriage.i wanted to marry him or get rid of this four walls,i didnt know.i hoped he might understand me,my pain.all was very happy,everything happened so fast,i didnt remind it well.the time of Bidaai(farewell),i was only thinking 'is that true?am marrying someone else?' then suddenly i woke up and found myself in a big decorated room in wedding dress.i couldnt remind anything.i saw Yash in teary eyes.Yash-R u ok?have some water.i took the glass.i removed his tears.i saw a pain of losing me in his eyes.though i neglected,i drunk water and was feeling stressed out in boring rituals.i wanted to change my dress,but felt embarrassed.what should i call him,i didnt know his name.i was trying to remind what was written in the venue?Aarti weds whom?oh no,hell with my memory.i asked-whats ur name?sorry,i mean what should i call u?i mean where's my dress?
he smiled happily like he was dying to seek my attention.he replied-so many questions.ok,i'm Yash,u can call me what u want.here's ur dress.he gave me a pink normal saree.i was in great wonder.now i had to wear saree.i went to washroom.at least for 30 mins,i tried to wear.i never felt so difficult, in each 5 mins,he was knocking the door,like i got fainted again.i was saying-wait,i'm coming.finally i gave up,opened the door slightly and told-Yash,do u have any little sister?
Yash-no,i've only 1 younger brother,Pratik.why?
Me-oh,no.i opened the door fully.he was so shocked like he never saw any girl wearing a blouse and petticoat.his big eyes were stuck at me and said-dont u know how to wear Saree?
Me-no,why?is that compulsory?
Yash-no,i mean,all knows.
Me-do u know?then help me in wearing.
Yash-ok,its very easy.let me show u.
i silently learned it and wore it.then i slept on the bed.i had no excitements,no feelings.i was living in other-land.i was not lonely,Soham,i mean his pic and memories were with me.in the morning,Yash called me several times and i opened my eyes lazily.
Me-what happened?
Yash-its 10 am.plj wake up and get ready fast.
Me-why u r in hurry?
Yash-Aarti,its my family. we strictly maintain disciplined life.its ur 1st day at our house.so,tolerate this,i promise i'll manage later.
Me-its ok.
Yash-its not ok,u'll understand in few mins.
it was really not ok.in the breakfast table,my mother-in-law was asking me she heard some rumors about me,what happened to me in past?i really couldnt believe someone asking such question in my 1st day,in front of all.i was searching my 'Not so bad hubby',but couldnt find him.i felt some strangers were sitting around me and all were looking at me like i did any crime.suddenly i heard Yash's voice,he was beside me.he replied-it's not important.let her finish breakfast.
all started laughing at him.i felt angry on him.in the evening,i got free from all ritual's torturing.i went to our room,closed the door.i wanted to be alone for sometime with my Soham.i couldnt be happy without him(Soham).i was crying touching his pic and complaining him why he left me alone.i didnt get when Yash stood near me,removed my tears and took his pic form me.i was shocked.but i didnt think of his feelings whether he would get hurt or not.this 1 year made me so changed,i was lacked of behave normally.i hold his another hand,started arguing-give it back to me.he didnt give it,he kept it on my diary and said-if u think u love him so much,what use of this pic?why dont u close ur eyes and see him? i was silent,how could i say him when i closed eyes,i only saw that accident.he might be understood my silence's reason.he told-get ready,we r shifting to mumbai tonight.
Me-why?suddenly?
Yash-our head office's there.i've decided to join it.i think u'll too join me.
i hated his this nature.he never gave me options to choose.i sighed positively.i got what i wanted to live alone.in Mumbai,i was all alone.i was not happy thinking why Yash was doing this,to get my attention or anything else.no,he couldnt love me.i thought, there i would live like my house ,but i was wrong.
