YuvAni SS- part 11/page 15 - Page 3

It was after two days the doctor was home to check the progress of Pratima's health, Yuvraj was talking to the doctor when Suhani came out of the room.

"Beta be happy that it was a mild stroke and it didn't leave any damages, warna toh such high blood pressure could be fatal, she seems to be stable now... even so I would suggest you to take complete care, from the food she eats to the medicines she takes should be monitored properly..." He took his bag from Yuvraj as they reached the door,

"Thank you uncle,"

"I'm sure she is stressed about something, talk to her... hmm, pareshaani toh sab kho aati hai humhe woh sambhal na malum hona chahiye,"

"Ok uncle, mein baat kartha hun, aap mujhe medicines khe baren me baatha ye toh,"

"I have explained everything to Suhani, she said she would take care,"

"Okay uncle, I'll ask her, Thank you uncle,"

Doctor Mukesh smiled and walked out of the door, Yuvraj squeezed his eyes shut, lack of sleep was making his eyes burn.

"Yuvraj," It was Soumya who was standing next to him, he sighed and looked away in order to express his displeasure, but she didn't seem to notice or care. She held his arm,

"Tak gaye ho?"

"Haan," he said and frowned as she tried to move closer, "mein tumse aur tumhari yeh harkaton se bilkul tak gaaya hun," he shrugged her hand away, and walked towards his mother's room, knowing that was the only place he could find peace. His mother was asleep and surprisingly Suhani was nowhere to be seen, from the time she came back to this house she had kept away from the rest of the people of this house, it was only Pratima for her. He wondered what would take for her to become the old chirpy Suhani whom he missed immensely.

*********************

Suhani gazed at Yuvraj who was sleeping in a rather uncomfortable posture in the small couch which was placed next to his mother's bed, he looked weary and unhappy, something in her said that she was making him sad by not letting him free, Suhani shook her head mentally, he was worried for his mother... that's it!

She walked forward and placed a cushion next to his head and hoped that it would provide him comfort, she wasn't going to disturb his sleep... not because of she cared but because she didn't want to have any kind of encounter with him' she convinced her heart. She wondered for how long was she going to live like this... Avoiding people and staying locked up in a room... one day she has to go out and face the reality, witness her childhood friend touching and hugging her husband. Suhani sat on a corner of the bed as she held her head in her hands, it felt like it would burst at any moment with the bitter visuals of Soumya hugging and being all lovey dovey towards Yuvraj. She couldn't still take away the images of them hugging away from her head, it was starting to haunt her day and night. She walked out of the room as she started to feel suffocated however regretted her decision the next moment she stepped out of the room.

"Suhani!" Soumya was coming after her as she tried to get into Yuvraj's room, when Suhani didn't stop Soumya rushed forward and grabbed her arm harshly, "Tumhe pata hai na that your marriage wasn't meant to happen? dho pyar karne wale logo khi beech kyun aaraheho tum?" She hissed, her eyes spitting spiteful venom at Suhani.

Suhani shrugged her hand away and looked at Soumya questioningly, her affection towards Soumya refusing to fade away,

"What? Why are you looking at me like that? Haan galti thi mera khi mene tumhari shaadi Yuvraj se karvadi... even when I know that it's not you who deserve him, even after knowing that he didn't even like you!" she walked closer to Suhani, her face covered with desperation and envy, "Suhani, you know that we love each other, please go away from his life, I'm your friend na... haan? Just go away," she screamed, "Tum kabhi kush nahi reh paoge... he will never love you,"

Suhani shook her head as tears flowed down her cheeks, she wanted to say something, anything but her brain refused to think, her lips refused to move... Soumya's each and every word had hurt her so deep that she could barely stand.

"You know that he will never love you, no one wants you here... phir why are you still here?"

"You are wrong Soumya..." It was Sharad who walked in,

"Tum beech mein mat pado Sharad," Soumya screamed,

"Kyun na padun mein? Agar tum ek patni pati khe beech aa sakthi ho toh mein kyun na bolun..."

Soumya struggled but realized that she wouldn't be able to argue so left the room with a huff and warning gaze towards Suhani,

"Bhabhi,"

"Sharad bhaiya please yahan se jaiye,"

"Bhabhi hum jaan thei hain..."

"You don't know... you never knew Sharad bhaiya, hum aapse kitna izzat kar then hein , kitna bharosa? But you lied to me, you hid the truth from me too,"

"Don't say that bhabhi... please don't say that. Yuvraj is my friend, my brother... aise hi aap meri bhabhi, hum kis taraf jayein? Tell me bhabhi? I tried... I tried so much to make him understand, I know bhabhi that I hurt you, I'm sorry... maaf kar do,"

Suhani turned away, her heart wanting to say that she could never be angry with him, because somewhere in the nook of her heart she knew being a friend she would have done the same as him,

"Scold me bhabhi but please don't stop talking, mein aapki P.A bhaiya hun na,"

Suhani turned around, her heart warming with affection, she frowned but her lips curved into a small smile seeing him holding his ears and standing on his knees, "Aur hamesha rahenge," she said making him smile, he was about to stand up, "Uh hu... abhi nahi, itna dhil dukhya," she said, he pouted and she laughed, "achcha chalo utto..."

"Sorry bhabhi phir kabhi asia nahi hoga, aap ayenge Yuvraj se pehle, wadha!"

Suhani laughed however she knew that she would have to leave them and go very far away from their lives. She wanted go with happy moments not with bitterness, she wanted to go with a light heart not with a burdened one.
