[FF] Barsaat - Part 19 (pg. 25) - Page 6

Sharma Aunty begins to wipe away Suhani tears, "Suhani everything happens for a reason. I know you are feeling hurt and alone but remember everything happens for the better. All the question you had were answered last night. Just like that you will get your answer to this pain." Suhani feeling depressed and unaware of what to do next. "Sharma Aunty I don't know what to do now. Where do I go? What do I do?" Sharma Aunty holds her face, "Suhani beta, yesterday you were living for Yuvraj. Today you need to think and live for yourself. You have to decided what road you want to take, do you want to go back to that road you were traveling on or take a new road and head for a different direction. You have to think it though. Your heart is your own, trust it." Sharma Aunty kisses her forehead. "Breakfast will be served soon, get ready and come and eat." Sharma Aunty walks out the door closing it behind her.

As she closes the door all the uncles and aunties come running up to her, "what happen? Why is she here?" Sharma Aunty tries to calm the crowd down, "nothing happen, just some misunderstanding. She will be staying with us for a while." One Aunty speaks out, "that is fine, she could stay as long as she wants but everything is ok right." Sharma Aunty laughs nervously, "yes yes everything is ok." Sharma Aunty husband speaks out of the corner. "Did you talk to her about it?" Everyone turns and stares at Sharma Aunty. She looks at her husband sadly and shakes her head, "no, right now isn't a good time." Everyone begins to look sad. Sharma uncle tries to cheer up everyone, "don't worry, it will be fine. Now let's go get breakfast. I heard something special was made this morning since Suhani is here. Lets go find out what it is?" He makes everyone rush to the dining hall. Sharma Aunty sadly follows behind him.

Yuvraj sits on the floor with his back against the bed holding on to the phone. He slowly wipes the phone back and forth with his thumb. Snoopy comes in and quietly lays down next to him. Yuvraj begins to comb through his hair with his fingers, "What did I do wrong, Snoopy? I loved Soumya once is that my mistake. Whatever my mistake was why didn't she yell at me. I got mad at her so many times but not once did she come and yell at me. I didn't even get to see her face." The thoughts of her teary eyes began to eat him from inside. "I can't go and see her, Ma is right, she has gone through a lot, I don't want to cause her anymore pain. But I just want to hear her voice." He looks down on his phone and tries to contact her again. The recording states the phone is off. He gets upset and her teary eyes flashes back in his mind again. He jumps up, throwing the phone on the bed. "Come on Snoopy lets go for a walk."

Rags wakes up to find Saurabh getting ready, "now where are you going so early in the morning." "Far away from you," he says under his breathe as he puts on a tie in front of the mirror. Rags gets upset, "what did you say?" Saurabh walks up to the bed, "you never cared where I went before why are you asking now." Rags looks to the side, upset. "Don't worry I am not going to go and bring your enemy back. That is between Yuvraj and Suhani. But I am going to go and do what was asked of me, I am going to go and fulfill my duty as a CEO." Rags turns to look at him shocked, "you are going to go and work." Menka comes running in, "Jiji, Anuj has left, he has left me." "Menka" Saurabh said as he puts on his coat. Worried that Anuj has left her, Menka ignores Saurabh calling her, "Like Suhani left Yuvraj, Anuj has left me." "He probably went to the gym. No need to get so worked up" Rags says as she gets annoyed at Menka. "No Jiji, his gym bags is still in the room, he never leaves with out it. And what do you mean do get worked up? Jiji this is all your fault, if you hadn't plotted against Suhani, my Anuj would have never left me." Rags looks at Menka upset, "Menka!" Menka gets upset, "what Menka! My husband has left me, your husband is still here." She gets worried, "if Dadi finds out Anuj has left me, she will kick me out of this house. I don't want to leave this house, I don't want to leave my Anuj." "Menka!" Saurabh yells out her name. Menka gets worried and looks up at Saurabh scared. Saurabh calms down, "Menka, he is spending time with Ma in her room." Menka gets happy and runs out of the room. Saurabh follows behind her. Rags calls out for Saurabh as he walks out the door. She grabs the pillow and throws its onto the floor.

Menka and Anuj are sitting by Pratima trying to give her medicine. "Ma dont be stubborn. What will Suhani say when she comes back that i couldnt take care of my mom." Anuj says as he holds a glass of water and the medicine. "No, I dont feel like taking the medicine, it will not help." Saurabh comes in "Ma if you dont take your medicine then how will you wont stay fit for when Suhani comes home. Now quickly take your medicine." Pratima is surprised to see him up this early dressed in a suit, "Why are you dressed up?" Saurabh smiles, "That is a secret and the only way i will reveal it is if you take your medicine." Anuj holds up the glass of water and medicine with a smile. Pratima looks at Anuj frowning, "Fine." Pratima takes the medicine making Menka jump up and down happy. "Mommyji took her medicine. Mommyji took her medicine." Everyone laughs along with her. "So now tell me why does my son look so handsome." Saurabh comes and sits next to Pratima and hold onto one of her hands, "Your son has decided to officially take his place as the CEO of the company. I am going to work, Ma!" Pratima is stunned but smiles and begins to cry. "Anuj look, i was expecting a hug but Ma is so busy in trying to make a river." Anuj wipes his moms tears, "Pushpa i hate tears re." Pratima hits both Anuj and then Saurabh, "Suhani left for a while but she left a bit of herself in my three handsome children." Saurabh puts his head on his mom shoulder, "Ma, what is going on with Yuvraj? I went to his room before coming here, he wasnt there. Did he go to get her?" Pratima lays a hand on his head, "No, He went for a run. I told him to give sometime to each other. Both are extremely hurt mostly Suhani. The foundation for their relationship was weak, it was bound to collapse. Now that it has, it up to them to start building a stronger foundation at they own pace." Ramesh come into the room, "Maa ji breakfast is served." Everyone gets up. Pratima hugs Saurabh, "Come lets go eat, you will need your strength its your first day and it time for Anuj to go to the gym." Anuj hugs his mom from the side, "No mom, no more gym. I will stay home and take care of you. I am your Ramesh." Menka jumps with excitment, "My Anuj is going to starting staying home. Now i will never get bored, i could watch my Anuj all day. Everyone laughs as their leave her room.

Right after breakfast, Suhani is walking thru the garden thinking back to the time Yuvraj came to help them out at the old age home. She slowly begins to remember him staring at Soumya realizing everything he said he did and said was for Soumya and not for her. She grips onto her phone tighty turning it back on. She jumps back as the phone vibrated in her hands. She looks at her phone and see two missed calls, the first call she does not recognize, "Who's number is this? It looks like a foreign number." Krishna pops up in her head. She dials the number and Krishna picks up, "Hello Suhani." "Yes Krishna, you arrived ok?" she yelled into the phone. Krishna pulls his ear away from the phone and then back onto the phone. "Suhani, I could hear you properly, no need to scream." Suhani starts to giggle. "I am sorry when I was a kid Mama ji had gone abroad and I remember we use to scream on the phone." Krishna laughs, "You know everything about everything but you dont know that phone technology and services has gotten better that you dont need to YELL." He screams yell on the phone making Suhani pull the phone away from her ears. "Ok Ok I am sorry. So how is it there." "Suhani, what can i tell you, its beautiful here. You should definitely come here too." Suhani begins to giggle, "I am serious! I had brought a ticket for Soumya. I could ask my friend to make some changes and get you what you need quickly." Suhani stays quiet as reality again slapped her in the face. "Oye Gappi!" he teased her understanding the reason behind her silence. "Krishna i told you not to call me Gappi." she gets upset at him. "Ok Ok. So you are coming." "Krishna, i dont know..." Krishna cuts her off "I am not going to hear a no. I am going to book your tickets two days from now. You are coming, I dont care, i will sit in front of the airport for months if i have to but you are coming." with that he cuts the phone. Suhani smiles as she looks at the phone. Sharma aunty and the other aunties look at her from a distance. Sharma aunty slowly walks up to her. "Suhani beta, you look happy. Was it Yuvraj? Suhani shakes her head, "Krishna." Sharma aunty gets confused, "Krishna? Soumya Krishna? The guy you hated." Suhani laughed at Sharma aunty "Not hated, I just didnt like him. But since Soumya accident me and him become really good friends." Suhani smiles. Sharma looked at her as she smiled. She loved when she smiled. "So what did he say." "He has gone to Australia for business and he wants me to join him for some time." "So what is the harm in that. You should go, it will be a change of place. It will make you feel better. You never know what you might find." Sharma aunty says as one of the aunties tries to get her attention. "Ms. Sharma, look your husband is trying to steal a gulab jamun." Sharma aunty gets upset, "He has done it." Sharma aunty power walks towards her husband. Suhani laughs as she watches her chase her husband. Suhani looks down on at her phone to turn it off but finds Yuvraj missed call displayed on her screen. Suhani looks up and thinks.

Yuvraj enters his room to find Soumya stand next to his bed. "What are you doing here?" Soumya turns around hiding something behind her back. "I saw you leave for a jog so I thought I have your clothes and towel ready for you." she said with a smile as she pointed to the clothes on the table. Yuvraj gets upset, "who the hell do you think you are." The smile on Soumya face quickly fades. "Forget it. I don't want to deal with you." Yuvraj walks to his closet and begins to take out his clothes. Yuvraj phone begins to vibrate in Soumya hand behind her. She pulls it from behind and sees it's Suhani, she answers the call. She sees Yuvraj going into the bathroom, "Yuvraj honey don't forget your towel." Yuvraj looks at her disgusted and points at her to go. Soumya yells out as he closes the bathroom door. "You get ready and I will make you your favorite dish for breakfast. Hurry up ok." Soumya walks a bit towards the door and puts the phone to her ear, "Hello Suhani." Suhani cuts the phone. Soumya see the call end and smiles. "Suhani, I finally got my chance to win Yuvraj back I won't let you steal it from me." She deletes Suhani call from Yuvraj phone and goes in to place it back on his bed. She smiles as she leaves the room.

Suhani lowers the phone. She begins to wonder why did she even think Yuvraj was waiting for her call. He had who he loves why would he think of her. Sharma aunty walks up to her. "your uncle is just to much. He knows it's bad for him. But I didn't fall back, I made him run a marathon for that one jamun." Suhani and Sharma aunty look towards Sharma uncle sitting on the bench catching his breathe. Sharma aunty begins laughing and turns to look at Suhani. Suhani stares into space. "Beta, is everything ok." Suhani turns to her confused, "huh? Oh yes yes, everything is ok. I am just going to my room." Suhani is about to walk away when Sharma aunty grabs her hand. "Suhani just remember, think about your future. I know you are hurt but don't drown in your tears. I know you have so many unanswered questions. The more you try to make sense of what has happen in the past, the longer you will be stuck there unable to move forward." Sharma aunty let's go of her hand. Suhani begins to walk towards her room.

Rags stood in front of Dadi in Dadi's room, when Soumya walks in smiling. Dadi turns and smiles at her, "seems like the job is done." "Yes Dadi I switched Suhani phone number with mine on Yuvraj phone." she smiled at Dadi feeling satisfied. "Good now if Yuvraj calls Suhani it will come to your phone. Did you reject all Suhani call?" "Yes Dadi, I placed Suhani number on his rejection list. Now if Suhani calls it will be rejected." Soumya and Dadi both smile at each other. Rags looks away from them upset. "Look Rags, this is a smart girl, not only did she do what I told her but she got rid of the rock that was in her way. Unlike you who can't even control her husband. Suhani asked him so he is working. You couldn't stop him? Now my poor grandson is working his youth away because of your inability to bond with your husband. You could learn something from Soumya." Rags looks up at Dadi, "But Dadi.." Dadi cuts her off, "Enough! I don't want to hear any more excuses. You may go." Rags looks up at Soumya, who is looking at her grinning. Rags storms out of the room. She stops outside and thinks "If this Soumya thinks she could take my place. She has another thing coming."

Suhani is pacing back & forth in her room lost in her thoughts. Yuvraj is in his room with the lights turned off. Soumya walks in and turns on the light. Yuvraj looks at her then back at the floor. Soumya comes and sits next to him holding his hand. He grasps on tighter to her hand. "How did this happen?" " Whatever happen was for the better. Now we will never be apart." Yuvraj looks up at Soumya and caresses his cheek. He slowly brings her face closer to his. Suhani quickly turns around covering her face, yelling "NO!" Suhani removes her hand from her face and looks around. She felt a sense of relief that it was just her imagination. However it quickly was taken over with a sense of fear.

Yuvraj is sitting in his room thinking about Suhani, smiling. He looks over to his phone laying on top of the table. "Please Suhani call me and tell me you are coming back home. I will come running. Just one call." The phone rings and he jumps to get it. His smile begins to frown when he checked his phone to see it was his friend. He takes the call "Yes Samir, how are you?" "I am good. You are coming to my party tonight, right?" "Your party, right. I am sorry but it won't be possible." "Why not? Don't do this, it was because of you that we got married. You helped us run away. You promised you will come to out first marriage anniversary. If you dont come I will cancel everything." Yuvraj knew his friend, if he said he would cancel it he would cancel it. "No no don't do that, I will come." "Great see you soon." Yuvraj ends the call. He looks at his phone. He scrolls for Suhani name and calls her. Hope builds in his heart when he begins to hear the dial tone.

Soumya looks at her phone and gets happy. "Dadi, Yuvraj is calling a me." she smiles about to pick up when Dadi grabs it and cuts the phone. "Dadi!" Soumya yelled. "Soumya! Lower your voice." Dadi stares at Soumya, upset. Soumya looks away upset. Dadi calms down, "Did you forget that we switched Suhani number with your number on Yuvraj phone." Soumya looks up and begins to apologize, " I am so sorry Dadi, I just saw Yuvraj name and forgot everything." Dadi smiles and runs her hand over her hair, "It's ok. I know you are eager to be with Yuvraj but you have to wait till his temper cools off. Just do as I say and you two will be together real soon." Soumya smiles. Dadi hands Soumya her phone, "It's a good thing you and Suhani number are almost the same." Soumya smiles, "Yes, when we first got our phone we asked to give us similar number so we can never lose touch. Her ends in 45 when mine ends in 54." Dadi looks at her phone, "But this number is only going to stay active for a couple of more days. I have ordered you a new phone with a new number for your new life. It should be here in an hour or two. Soumya smiles and hugs Dadi.

Yuvraj frowns looking at his phone, "What did I do that you are ignoring my calls" Yuvraj thinks, "Fine if you don't want to talk to me then you could atleast answer my message." Yuvraj begins to type and sends the message over.

Soumya looks at her phone, "Dadi, it's Yuvraj message." Dadi gets curious, "Read what it says." Soumya begins to read the message outloud "Suhani, I made a huge mistake by keeping this from you but I couldn't bare to see you fall apart if you ever found out. That is why I hid this secret from you. But it doesn't change anything, you are still my wife. I know you must be upset right now with me but please call me. I want to make everything clear between us. Please Suhani. I am sorry." Soumya sadly looks up at Dadi, "Dadi, did we make a mistake?" Dadi looks at her, "I know my grandson, we did not make a mistake. He loves you and only you. If you dont believe me, read the message again did he say anything about not being in love with you, no. Did he says he loves that girl, no. Yuvraj has a soft heart and he cant see people in pain so he is just trying to make her feel better. But trust me he loves you and you are the rightful Birla bahu." Soumya smiles and Dadi hugs her. Soumya looks at the message again, "Should I delete the message?" Dadi thinks and takes the phone to look at the message. She hands it back to Soumya, "No don't delete it, write back saying, Yuvraj, why would i break down when there was clearly nothing between you and me. Leave me alone and live your life with Soumya. I don't ever want to talk to you or see you again. Forget me like I have forgot you. Dont wait for me because you no longer mean nothing to me." Soumya smiles as she types. "Send." Soumya looks up and both look at each other smiling.

Yuvraj is taking clothes out of his closet when he hears his phone ring. He rushes to pick up the phone. He reads the message and gets upset, "Fine, if this is how you feel then fine I will also forget you. I am Yuvraj Birla, I don't wait for anyone." He throws the phone on the bed and walks into the bathroom.
