Hotel Sea Villa
Shweta and Saikat checked into the hotel this morning. Today, after almost eight months of their marriage, both of them finally got some time to come to Maldives for their honeymoon. Shweta and Saikat married each other just fifteen days before Veronica's return to her uncle's house, leaving behind Abhay's. Hence, with all the things going around, they hardly got any chance for their own married life to begin in that sense in those eight months.
"Well, Shweta, you freshen up. I'll take a walk around the hotel instead."
"Why are you going out again now, Sai? Lets spend some time together while getting ready. We'll go to explore together."
"Hmm, we'll go together only," Saikat replied a little absent-mindedly. "But it's hard to sit like this until you freshen up and get ready. I'll be right back," he said, without waiting for Shweta's reply, and left the hotel room straight away.
While checking in, Saikat saw Abhay entering their same hotel with a strange woman. Since then, he's trying to control his anger. The man who has given such extreme emotional and physical pain to his dearest best friend, he must give that guy a worthy answer today for all his wrongdoings.
After coming downstairs, Saikat wasted no time in getting Abhay's room number from the receptionist. But at that very moment, he saw Abhay leaving the hotel alone.
"Hey Abhay, very good morning. Again on honeymoon I guess. By the way, how many times is it for you?" Saikat shot his question at Abhay from behind, like an arrow which was just dipped in poison.
Looking back, Abhay noticed Saikat. He didn't notice him at the time of checking in at the hotel. So he was a bit surprised for a while.
But immediately after controlling himself, he replied in a very bitter voice, "No matter how many times I come for my honeymoon, Saikat, you don't need to count. I hope and literally wish that you can concentrate on your own married life. What your bestie's ex-husband is doing or not, you shouldn't be bothered about it. Bye."
Breathless with anger, he immediately grabbed the collar of Abhay's shirt. "You-scoundrel. I don't need any good wishes from a wretch like you. Ah, good wishes, my foot! Don't you have any shame? By sitting on the mattress of money, you think that you can do whatever you want? How many women have you cheated, like Veronica, counting the number, nah? Do remember that not everyone like Veronica would let you free so easily by giving a divorce. Don't forget this, you scoundrel." Saikat started heading towards his room immediately.
In the meantime, many people had already gathered around them. The heated conversation between the two had caught the attention of many guests and the hotel staff. Shweta was also watching them silently.
After entering their hotel room, both Saikat and Shweta remained speechless for a while. At last, Saikat broke the silence and said, "Come on Shweta, don't spoil the mood and let's go out now."
But Shweta did not answer.
Again, after a while, Saikat repeated the same thing to which Shweta replied, "Sai, so that's the reason why you got out of the room then! You could have said that to me…."
"How could I say? I saw that scoundrel on the way down, and then-"
He would have been really ashamed if he realized the reason himself, behind not telling Shweta the actual truth. But Shweta had no difficulty grasping the real matter.
She simply replied, "And then? Nica Di had divorced him already two months back. She had forgiven him by now. But why can't you do that yet? You know, all of you guys are actually the same."
"What do you mean by this, Shweta? Is it so easy to forgive such a scoundrel? And you are comparing him with me and the rest!"
Shweta now replied, "Why won't I compare? When we came on our honeymoon today after almost 8 months of our marriage, your mind is still busy with Nica Di's thoughts and all the wrongs done to her. Then why don't you stay with her instead!"
Shweta's heart broke for the second time today. Within a few months after joining her college, she realized that the only reason Samarth talks to her is because of her Nica Di. She had realized long back that she had no existence in his small world. Once again today, she realized that she had been thrown into the same similar situation. Her heart was crushed in an instant, once again.
