[FF] Barsaat - Part 19 (pg. 25) - Page 4

Suhani goes to grab her bag. Dadi places her hand on top of Suhani hand, "Stop." Suhani stands up confused. "Ramesh check this girls bag." Everyone is shocked. Pratima stands up. "But Maaji." Suhani cuts her off, "It's ok Maa" Ramesh stands there. Dadi gets upset "Ramesh what did I say! Open her bag." Ramesh looks at Suhani. "It's ok Ramesh Bhaiya." Dadi taunts Suhani, "Yes Suhani's Bhaiya, hurry up." Ramesh takes her bag and places it on the bed. Ramesh opens it and goes thru it. Saurabh sees Rags and Menka smiling and show Anuj. Both leave grabbing Rags and Menka with them. Dadi carefully watches as Ramesh checks the suitcase.

Both Saurabh and Anuj pull their wives towards Saurabh room. "Anuj what are you doing?" Menka yells as Anuj pulls her into the room. "Saurabh let go of me, it hurts" Saurabh and Anuj throw their wives in front of them. Saurabh yells at Rags "you are crying now. What happen to your smile. You were smiling with you mouth wide open when Suhani was being insulted." Anuj points at Menka, "Menka you called her your best friend. What happened to your friendship?" Rags gets upset and was about to say something. "Shut up Rags just shut up. I had enough of your evil plans. I thought you would learn your lesson when you were caught with Mata Chuni but no. What did she ever do to you?" Saurabh asked as he yelled at her. Rags turns her head unable to believe this was the first that Saurabh spoke to her in this manner and that was all because of that girl, Suhani. Anuj turns to Menka, "Menka you tell me, you act so innocent, why did you do this to her?" Menka gets scared. This was the first time she had seen Anuj anger "Jiji is the one who told me..." Anuj cuts her off angry with her response. "Jiji Jiji Jiji, Menka are you really that dumb. Do you not have a brain of your own." Menka begins to cry.

Yuvraj is sitting in the dark. The door opens and he looks up hoping it was Suhani. His heart fills with anger. "Go away I dont want to talk to you." Soumya walks in and turns on the light. Yuvraj jumps off the bed and turns around wiping off a tear. Soumya walks up to him and put her hand on his shoulder. "Yuvraj." He shakes her hand off his shoulder. Soumya is surprised. Yuvraj turns around and yells at her, "I told you I dont want to talk."

Ramesh is done taking out her clothes and begins packing them. "What was the need for all this" Pratima questioned in anger. "She is the daughter of a cheater. Who knows what things he taught her. We cant trust outsider. Pratima next time think before questioning my commands or else you will be the next one to leave this house." Dadi turns to Suhani, "You can go now." Dadi turns to leave from the room. Sharad gets upset and is about to say something but Suhani grabs his arm and shakes her head. Dadi walks out to see Soumya running out of Yuvraj room. Dadi decides to follow Soumya to her room. Suhani hugs Pratima and smiles at her as she wipes away Pratima tears. She grabs her suitcase of the bed. Sharad is about to follow her but she stops him. "No I have to walk alone from here." As she walks out towards the the door. She recollect all the happy moments she spent in the house. With every step she took, her feet as well as her heart, felt heavy. She kept telling herself you kept yourself strong this long, just a bit longer. She turned around to look at the place she once called home for the last time.

Yuvraj continues to walk back and forth in his room. He falls on to his bed hoping it would help settle the unexplainable feeling in his heart, it didnt. He felt worse. He couldnt take it, he jumps off the bed and rushed out his room. He ran out to the hall to see Suhani back as she slowly turned walking towards the door. He couldnt move, he wanted to yell out her name but it felt like his voice was leaving with every step she took. She turned the door knob to open the door. He watches as a gust of misty wind blew through her hair, it had sent a tingling feeling through out his body. It was a feeling he wasnt a stranger to but he was never able to make out what this feeling was. A tear fell to the ground as she closed the door behind her.

Suhani slowly began walking down the stairs as the rain fell down on her. She began to cry the moment she had closed the door behind her. The rain had masked her tears and made them their own. She got to the bottom of the stairs and hailed a taxi. The driver comes out and grabs her suitcase and puts its in the trucks. Her eyes followed him till she caught sight of the house. She began to admire the stairs, the plants, the balcony, the windows. She slowly began to realize that this beautiful place she called home was just a guest house and it was time for her to go. She didnt know if what she was doing was right or wrong but after knowing the truth she couldn't stay there any longer. She had to leave. The driver called out to her "Ma'am, do you want to leave or not?" She took one heartfelt look at the house and got into the taxi. She wiped off her tears as she tells the driver, "lets go it's time." The taxi drives off.

Yuvraj stood there thinking back to the night he sat next to Suhani on the bed after he came to know the truth by reading the journal that Suhani didnt know anything about Soumya plans. That night he promised himself to keep her happy. He thought back to the time when Suhani ran up to him to hug him when she had found out that Soumya married Krishna. He had promised to care and protect her. How could he have let her go like this. He thought back to the times when Suhani tried to pacify him when he was upset. Yuvraj woke up from the flashback as Sharad placed his hand on his shoulder. "Guru." Yuvraj grabs his hand, "Sharad, Suhani?" Sharad emotionally tells him, "she left us." Yuvraj begins to pull Sharad, "we have to stop her, she needs to know the truth." Sharad stops him and turns to face him upset with what he said. "What truth? What other truth is there? Do you love her?" Yuvraj freezes as he hears those words. "No right! You were just trying to be a good husband. Trying to be a good friend while destiny played this cruel game with her." Yuvraj shakes his head, "I don't know any of this. I just have to bring her back." Yuvraj begins to walk towards the door but Sharad pulls him back in anger, "bring her back as what? For what? You don't love her. You haven't accepted this marriage. On what bases are you going to bring her back. Guru, I told you before don't play with Suhani feelings. Today because of your vengeful behavior, she has left." Yuvraj looks at Sharad upset unable to figure out if this was the same guy he shared all his thoughts and feelings with, "are you my friend or hers." Sharad gently holds on Yuvraj arm, "I am your friend but I am also her brother." Yuvraj shakes his head unable to believe his own friend was against him. Sharad understood what was going on in Yuvraj mind and began to calm down. "Yuvraj, tell me why should she come back, for what? For who? Yuvraj couldn't believe he was asking him this question. "She has Ma, she has you.." Sharad cuts him off, "what about her husband, the man who ties her to all these relationship." Yuvraj stayed quiet unable to answer his question. Sharad begins to get annoyed with his ignorance and blindness, "whatever happened here, did you try to stop it? Why would you? You never consider yourself as her friend let alone her husband. You just took on the name of a husband and of a friend. But you never tried to play the role." Sharad sees that Yuvraj was getting upset. Sharad placed his hand on both shoulder. "Guru, listen to what I am trying to say. We all want Suhani to come back but that can't happen until you fully accept her, not as burden but as your wife. But before you could do that you need to open up your eyes and ears. Look around everything isn't so black and white." Yuvraj looks up at him confused. "Yuvraj this is not a right time to say this but Chacha ji called and he need me to run his shop for a couple of months, I am leaving before morning." Yuvraj quietly goes and sits down on the couch. Sharad comes and sits next to him. "Bhabhi told me to take good care of Mausi, I couldn't find it in my heart to tell her I was leaving too. So you have double responsibility on Mausi." Yuvraj gets up upset and walks to his room. Sharad yells "Guru" Yuvraj stops in his tracks, "please think about what I said." Yuvraj walks into his room and slams the door shut.

Rags looks at Saurabh shocked. Anuj looks at Menka, "same goes for you, if you do not stop your cunning ways forget you have a husband. If you dont stop, you will stay in this house but to me you would be nothing but a piece of object." Anuj leaves the room in anger. Menka runs behind him, "Anuj ji Anuj ji, listen.." Menka voices fades as she follows Anuj. Saurabh looks at Rags, "When you first came here, you were as sweet as Suhani, you had a ego but your kind heart made up for it. What happen to that kind heart I feel in love with. Trying to become Dadi no.1 bahu you left me behind." Saurabh begins to get upset remembering Suhani teary eyes. "But if you don't let go of your evil plans and your cunning behavior, you will lose me forever." Saurabh leaves the room leaving Rags behind lost in her thought.

The car stops, Suhani is lost in her thought. The driver looks at Suhani from the rear view mirror "Ma'am I cant go any further." Suhani continues to think "How can they all do this to me? Papa too! I can't go home." The driver calls out to her again. "Ma'am." Suhani jumps up in her seat. The driver repeats himself "the car can't go any further, you will need to get off here." Suhani looks down the alley that lead to her house. A sudden fear came upon her when she thought about going home. "Actually please take me to the old age home." The driver backs up and drives off.

Yuvraj grabs the pillow off the bed and throws it across the room. He thinks to himself. "Why does she need a reason, this is her house, everyone is her own in this house. How can she just leave all of us behind. Does she not understand how much we need her. How much I need her. What does she think of herself." He takes out his phone and calls Suhani. The phone is switched off. Yuvraj gets upset and throws his phone across the room. It lands in the corner. Yuvraj walks over to the table to grab his keys and is about to walk out but Pratima was waiting for him at his door, "Ma." Pratima takes a couple of steps inside, "are you going somewhere?" "to bring Suhani back" he said as he held on to his keys tightly like it was his life destiny. Pratima holds onto his hand and loosen it, " Do you think she will come back." Yuvraj gets annoyed, "what is this? Sharad just said the same thing. How can she just pack her bags and go." Anger, sadness, guilt, worry all these emotions began to erupt inside him. He walks back and falls on to his bed. Pratima walks in and sits next to him. She puts her hand on his shoulder. He grabs her hand and hugs her. Pratima gets worried, "Are you ok?" Yuvraj says quietly, "I am tired." Pratima begins to pat his head and notices him still grasping the keys hard. She calls out to him, "Yuvraj, leave Suhani alone." Yuvraj quickly pulls away to look at his mom, "What?"
