The Art of Pulling Heartstrings- Fanfiction - Page 2

Loved it! 😍😍😍 Specially the last part where she keeps asking kyu... and her Bebes hug... And Sahibas reaction upon hearing the news... And you also brought the surgery scene to this which just blended perfectly.... I could picture it.... Waiting for Seerats and Manbeers band bajoing 🙈. Waiting for the next update 🙃🙃. Pls tag when the next part is up.

wow what a wonderful start. would love to read it

sahiba's heartbreak felt too real. and they need to have this confrontation openly and sahiba should ginao all things anagd has done to enable Seera's behaviour

She still doesnt know about the rain dance and almost kiss

Angad's redemption doesnt equate to Seerat's ousting only, he needs to work on making sahiba feel respected, an equal partner and his support

the whole of their marriage is angad believing Sahiba only at the last or in life threating conditions, thats not support.

Only love is not enough

Updating very soon.. yes Angad has to understand first about his role in enabling Seerat and should earn her trust and start respecting her.

Thank you... appreciate the feedback and encouragement. I agree with every point of yours. Only love cannot sustain a relationship. it needs trust and respect in equal measures as well.

Chapter 2

PreCap: Sahiba interrupted him and said “Nahi Angad, you are not understanding my question. Why do you want to save our relationship. I just cannot understand it. I mean, Seerat di told you about her love for you long ago. And you proposed to Seerat di and wanted to remove the boundaries of zimmedari. Cherry on the cake is your dearest mumma also wants Seerat di as her daughter in law. So, my question to you is this, when all the obstacles to yours and Seerat di’s love story are removed why do you want to bring me into that equation again?”

Angad : “What are you saying Sahiba??,, I proposed Seerat? I never did.”

Sahiba : "Please stop lying Angad. I heard with my own ears. I went to find you to hear your side of the story to clear misunderstandings before I accept the responsibilities of the family. As fate would have it, I reached you when you were pouring your heart out to Seerat di. My hope that you are loyal to me and we can bury the past and start a new beginning has shattered that day.”

“It has taken some time, but I am slowly coming to the terms that Seerat di is your first love, and the love you have for her is everlasting. But what I cannot for the life of me understand is why you take sadistic pleasure in tormenting me by two timing. You profess your feelings to Seerat di behind close doors but when everyone gathered in that beautifully decorated hall, you look at me as if everything between us is resolved and you adore me and get angry at me for not trusting you.”

“Acchha, leave all that. Take today for example. If you want to get rid of me and marry your ashiqui, you could have signed the divorce papers your mom has prepared. But no, instead of breaking up with me dignifiedly, you act as if reconciling with me is your goal, worry about me, take me back home only to humiliate in front of the entire world by announcing what a miserable partner I make. Itna sab karne ki kya jarurat hain? Kya mil raha hain mujhe aise humiliate karne me. Ek bar seede seede kehdete ki mujhe divorce chahiye , toh sign kar deti. Aise ghar walo ke samne, party me sab ke samne aise announce karneki kya jarurat …kya jar..u..rat..??

She broke down and her sobs echoed across the superficially decorated room.

Angad was indignant when he heard the accusations. But at the same time the cries of Sahiba tugged at his heartstrings. He once again took Sahibas hands which she freed and said:

“Sahiba, mujhe kuch samaj mein nahi aa raha hain ki tum kyabol rahe ho. I never proposed Seerat. While it is true that I hid the fact that she proposed to me, I never could propose to her. She is my brother’s widow. How can I have such feelings for her? Trust me, I had no idea that mumma and Seerat were planning to announce. If I did have any ounce of inkling, I never would have agreed to such cheap announcement. Please, Sahiba you must believe when I say I had no idea, and it is definitely not my wish for something like this to happen. I don’t know how I should make you trust me..”

Sahiba (sarcastically): “I know and understand you Angad. You really had no idea about this.

Seerat di prepares a candlelight dinner for you in farmhouse and says she feels lonely and tries to hug you. YOU HAD NO IDEA and YOU CERTAINLY DID NOT WISH IT.

She comes into the bedroom without knocking and helps you dress in my absence. YOU HAD NO IDEA and YOU CERTAINLY DID NOT WISH IT.

She suckles your thumb. YOU HAD NO IDEA and YOU CERTAINLY DID NOT WISH IT.

She wishes to dance in the rain with you. YOU HAD NO IDEA. And YOU CERTAINLY DID NOT WISH IT.

She says she is scared and wants to sleep in the same room as you. YOU HAD NO IDEA. And YOU CERTAINLY DID NOT WISH IT.

She interferes every single time between you and I. But No, YOUHAD NO IDEA. And YOU CERTAINLY DID NOT WISH IT.

She redecorates this room to her taste and erases my existence, YOU HAD NO IDEA. And YOU CERTAINLY DID NOT WISH IT.

Today, she announces to the whole world her marriage to you. YOU HAD NO IDEA. And YOU CERTAINLY DID NOT WISH IT.

Tumhare marji ke bina itna sab kuch kaise hota hain Angad. I mean bewakoof kisse bana rahe ho?

Angad: “I know everything looks bad. But still in sab me, I did nothing Sahiba. Why don’t you just trust me?

Sahiba: “Exactly Angad, YOU DID NOTHING”

Everyone was shell shocked when Sahiba started counting the times she felt hurt by Angad. They expected Angad to refute her claims, but to their utter disappointment and horror he confirmed them. How could such shameful acts have taken place right under their noses.

Sahiba continued crying: “Speaking of trust, I trusted you. I trusted you over my (lusty)*sister. If you do remember, I trusted you, but I asked you to set boundaries. The very first time she came on to you, I asked you to set clear boundaries so that hadde par na hon. But did you listen? Nahi. How should I have kept trusting you? Yet, I did... I trusted you. I believed you were a gentleman who does not break your commitment. I believed you to not break the strings that tied us together. I believed you would not break my heart. But you did… you broke my trust... you broke my heart… you broke the dooriyaan. Even after learning the fact that you and di have both decided to hide what happened on the night of Simran's kidnapping, I wanted to trust you, talk with you, hear your perspective. But how can I trust you any longer when I heard you reciprocating Seerat di’s love? How can you say that I gave importance to my ego instead of understanding you or ever trusting you.”

Taking a deep breath, she folded her hands in front of Bebe and said, “I am sorry Bebe. I am so very sorry Bebe. Last few months, I had begun to hope, dream and feel blessed that our marriage was indeed the act of Rab. But when all that shattered in a moment, I could not think straight. So many doubts, questions, insecurities plagued my mind. I should have told you on that day itself the reason behind my decision. Pata nahi kya soch rahi thi. I was humiliated Bebe(swallowing a sob). Ye baat jubaan par lahi nahi paa rahi thi. Kyun ki if I say it out loud, I was afraid ki … I don’t know Bebe.. I just couldn’t bring myself to explain it. In the process I did mistakes which has no justification. I disrespected you and Daarji even if it was not my intention. I am sorry Bebe”.

“It is just that, it was very difficult to come to terms that My sister, my most beautiful sister, for whom I made so many sacrifices just trampled on my marriage with no regard for me whatsoever. Kya kuch nahi kya main uske liye. In my teenage years itself, I took the responsibility of running the household. When there was a choice between di and me, I always chose di. I stopped my education so that she can complete her degree. I worked hard to earn money for her beauty products. The money I saved to continue my studies; I gave it to her so she could mingle in rich society to catch a rich husband. When she ran off from her own marriage, I took her place to save family from embarrassment. I took the brunt of her actions in this very house. Zameen asmaan ek kar di hain mainne to search for when her whereabouts were not known. From childhood, I am used to giving whatever she wants without question and with a smile. And she always gets what she wants. But it is my husband she wants, not some jewelry that I can happily give away. Or at least I used to think so before his confession.”

Having said all the things she kept buried in her heart, she leaned back exhaustedly with tears flowing down her face.

Everyone in the room sat still, reeling under various emotions at the same time. Though various emotion were at play, they all knew one thing. Seerat is the culprit. She was the one who destroyed Sahibas and Angads marriage, destroyed the peace of the family. Before they could react to anything, a commotion from the hall interrupted them. They heard Pam yelling loudly..

Pam: “Angad sir, please jaldi ayiye…”

Now what??!! is the expression going through everyone's mind.

Please check out the next chapter..

This is SO well written. But i don't think the apology to manbeer was needed. That part bothered me. Sahiba never did anything to negate Manbeers pain at being cheated by her husband. But an innocent child should not suffer and grow up an orphan for her issues and pain. Apart from that one aspect I liked your chapter.

I would have liked Sahiba to also point out that not only did Angad do nothing, he defended Seerat and claimed Sahiba was being too harsh on Seerat.

I'd like to see Sahiba live in hostel and Angad work hard to earn her trust and convince Sahiba to give him a chance and eventually start from scratch. I want him to go through the motions - get to know Sahiba, let Sahiba know him, spend time with her, eventually propose to her properly for marriage, get remarried and then forever remain committed and not allow anyone including his parents or grandparents or anyone ever speak between him and Sahiba.
