Part 10(Last Part):
Saras proposed to Kumud after their confession and she accepted it without hesitation. They had a simple court marriage.
Only some of their close friends attended it and no one from their family apart from Laxminandan,
he had supported them in their decision and he had also given them his blessings, Kumud did not inform anyone from her side, her father-in-law too did not disclose the matter to anyone.
However, the very next day, their company had bagged a new order which turned out to be a very important one, so both of them hardly had any time to spend together and Saras had to change locations often. Kumud's work was less hectic and she often missed Saras. There was only one week left and she had not yet started shopping and Saras was not here too, he was in Pune currently. She removed her agenda and saw that she would be free in the afternoon tomorrow so she decided to hit the shops then.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Other Side-
"Aryan, please don't leave me." Kusum begged her husband.
"Kusum! Just shut up, you have been giving me a headache since the past minutes," Aryan yelled back at her and proceeded towards the main door of the Desai house.
"Aryan, please don't leave me daughter." Guniyal said while shedding tears and folding her hands in front of her son-in-law.
"I'm really sorry but I can't stay here anymore," Aryan got out of the house and headed to his new rich girlfiend with his packed suitcase.
When he was gone, Kusum slumped to the ground and criedher heart out,"Mom, why did I support him in his dirty game? All he wanted was money, he never loved me."
Guniyal hugged Kusum," We are getting the punishment for our deeds, all that we have done with Kumud was wrong."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-11:45 P.m, SaMud's apartment-
Kumud picked up her phone which had been buzzing since the last five seconds, She thought it was Saras but when she looked at the screen closely and saw Kusum's name. She wanted to disconnect it but she ended receiving it as she thought that it might be something important.
"Hello," Kumud said and waited for an answer but she did not hear anything apart from a sob. She was concerned now,"Hello...Kusum...are you there?"
"Di...he left me,"Kusum said while shedding more tears.
"W..who?Please, Kusum tell me what clearly what happened."
Kusum told Kumud everything from how Aryan had been enraged when his dad threw him out of the house and how he had left her for another girl who had lots of money.
"I can't believe that Aryan can fall this low." Kumud muttered with disgust, She knew that Aryan was a disgusting person and she was really broken when she got to know that Kusum was in the plan too but now all made sense, Aryan had used Kusum and when he could not grab the property, he left her and went to someone else.
"Kusum, listen to me, come at my place for 1-2 days, it will give you a change and please don't think about that b*s***d, he did not deserve you."
Kusum had come to stay at Kumud's place. Guniyal and Kusum had apologized to Kumud for their wrongdoings and Kumud forgave them.
Kusum got to know that Sras and Kumud were married.
"Di, it's not fair, you did not even inform me, not even a mistake."
"Kusum, at that time..."Kumud was silent for a moment and Kusum held her ears with a pout looking a Kumud who smiled on seeing her act.
"Di, when will jeeju return?"
"In some days but I am not sure when."
Kusum left before Saras returned. Kumud was really worried how to break the news to Saras as he had clearly told her not to maintain any relations with those people and he would be very angry if he got to know about Kusum's stay over here. Kusum and Aryan got divorced, everyone apart from Saras knew about it, Laxminandan disinherited Aryan and gave Aryan's share to Kusum. There was no news of Aryan as for now.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Back to SaMud-
Kumud was dead tired of her final shopping session. She opened herfridge to see if there was a can of chilled coke.
Suddenly, she felt a pair of hands crawling on her waist and she abruptly turned to see who it was.
"You!"
"Who else did you think it was? Of course it's me." Saras smirked and showed Kumud the pair of spare keys he had.
Saras had returned on the eve of Divali, just in time. That's when he realized that he did not have any outfit but he was relieved as his wife had already taken care of the problem.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-7:30 P.m, Divali-
Saras and Kumud were celebrating divali with some people in their locality.
Saras excused himself when he got a phone call. Kumud was lighting some lamps when she saw Saras's expressions change.
Saras disconnected the call and came towards Kumud.
"What happened Saras?"
"Come with me." Kumud let Saras take her to their room and she was s hocked when she heard his next sentence.
"Aryan had an accident, and the doctors are saying that he might not be able to use his legs again and he divorced Kusum."
"What? But how, I mean Kusum did not inform me..." Kumud stopped, she realized what she had just blurt out.
"What did you just say? Kusum...but you have no contacts with her now." Saras said with confused expressions.
"Saras, I have hidden something from you, I knew about their divorce." Kumud related everything that had taken place in his absence and Saras banged his hand on the wall after hearing all of it,"Kumud, how could you? It's not because Kusum came to stay here that has upset me, it's the fact that you hid everything from me." Saras wiped the tears that had formed in his eyes and took steps backwards.
"Saras, I..."Kumud fumbled with her words, she had hurt Saras, and she cursed hersel
f.
"Kumud, no need to say anything, you proved that you don't trust me anything, and when there is no trust in an relationship then what's the point in maintaining it.."
"Saras, how can you say that,I trust you more that myself infact, when I had losen hope on anything, it was you who had made me alive again, Saras, I can't live without you anymore, if you live me, I will di..."Saras placed his hands on Kumud's moving lips to prevent her from speaking, "Kumud,..."Saras paused,"I'm sorry, I said a lot of sh** a while ago, it was because of all the stress and now this new problem."
Kumud wiped Saras's tears and they hugged each other passionately. The lights were now off and it was only the lamps that were acting as a source of light.
(Jab jab tere paas main aaya, Ik sukoon mila
Jise main tha bhoolta aaya, Wo wajood mila
Jab aaye mausam gham ke, Tujhe yaad kiya
Jab sehme tanhapan se, Tujhe yaad kiya)
(Whenever I came near you, I got a peace,
The one I had kept forgetting, I got that existence
When the weather of sorrow came, I remembered you,
When I was scared with loneliness, I remembered you)
Both of them came out of the hug, Saras leaned forward and softly grazed Kumud's lips and backed. Kumud was annoyed when he stopped, Saras did that only to tease her but he also wanted to see her reactions. Kumud slammed her lips on his and soon their tongues were inside each other's mouths. Kumud's hands began to work on his kurta's buttons while he unpinned her dupatta and threw it on the floor.
(Dil.. Sambhal ja zara
Phir mohabbat karne chala hai tu
Dil.. yahin ruk jaa zara
Phir mohabbat karne chala hai tu
Aisa kyunkar hua janoon naa
Main janoon naa)
(O heart, be steady,
You're going to fall in love again,
O heart, stop here itself,
You're going to fall in love again,
How it has happened, don't know,
I don't know..)
Saras lifted Kumud in his arms and carried her to the king-sized bed in the middle of the room. Their passionate kiss carried on over there.
(Dil sambhal ja zara
Phir mohabbat karne chala hai tu
Dil yahin ruk ja zara
Phir mohabbat karne chala hai tu)
Saras's kurta's was lying on the floor and his hands slowly undid the string of her blouse. Saras starting pacing wet kisses along her neck and on her upperchest while she moaned in response, he removed her blouse and came on top of her while admiring her beauty.
(Kuch bhi nahi Jab darmayaan
Phir kyun hai dil, tere hi khwaab bunta
Chaaha ki de, tujhko bhula
Par yeh bhi mumkin ho na sakaa..
Kya hai yeh maamla, Janun na
Main janoon naa
When there is nothing in between
then why does the heart knit your dreams only,
I tried for it to forget you,
but even that couldn't be possible..
What is this matter, don't know
I don't know...)
(Dil sambhal ja zara
Phir mohabbat karne chala hai tu
Dil yahin ruk ja zara
Phir mohabbat karne chala hai tu
Dil sambhal ja zara
Phir mohabbat karne chala hai tu)
The lights slowly faded as their figures became one. The festival of lights had definitely enlightened their lives, outside people were bursting fire crackers and laughing while inside Samud were perfectly content and had found their soulmates.
-After some months-
Aryan was crippled and he was put in a rehab centre, no one had gone to pay him a visit even once and that so-called girlfriend of his left him when she learnt about his condition.
Kusum was engaged to one of her friends, Sunny who secretly had a crush on her.
Saras and Kumud's happiness knew no bounds when they got to know of Kumud's pregnancy.
They had shared the good news, and everyone gave them their blessings.
Aryan was miserable and repented for his doings.
Saras and Kumud had finally got happiness.
The end...or a new start...
