It was a real shock for me. Nah. It should be like a surprise. A rather unexpected one, but a sweet one. I was in a state of shock that I didn’t respond. After he drifted away from me, I came into my senses. I looked at him, astonished. Then, he suddenly got up from the bed, took his T-shirt and barged into the restroom. Has he gone mad, like me? Just a minute before, he kissed me. He actually kissed me. I still can’t believe it. I can’t get over it, either. Then, all of a sudden he drifts hastily like he did a mistake. Wait! What if that was a mistake? That’s the reason he would have hurried like that. No. His eyes conveyed something else. Then why is he behaving like this?
**************************
“Nieve!!” Sandy’s chirpy voice welcomed me as I entered the resort. Giraffe was already present there. Ishaan didn’t come as he had an important meeting. Harsha, as usual has gone for shooting. Harsha’s behaviour was totally different today morning. It seemed like he was avoiding me. If he’s angry with me, then why did he do that yesterday night? I am feeling perplexed. I didn’t want to come here. I was in no mood to chill out with Giraffe and Sandy. But, I couldn’t deny them, when they persuaded.
“You’re late. As usual!” Giraffe said as he looked at his watch. Sandy giggled.
I sat on the chair uninterestedly. Usually, all these will make me happy. But this time, the scenario is different. Well, someone said right. “When marriage happens, the girl should sacrifice everything; including her happiness. While the boy remains unaffected” As I remembered, I felt frustrated. For the first time after my marriage, I am feeling real anger rising. He doesn’t care about anything. Neither about his wife, nor about his family. He just thinks about himself. Yesterday, it was not my mistake. Why doesn’t he understand? He didn’t even speak to me properly. Duh!
“Any problem, Nieve??” Sandy’s voice brought me to reality. I nodded in no. It was a lie, obviously.
“No. There’s something fishy.” Giraffe said.
“Now, you don’t start your James Bond work” I told him bluntly. Sandy chuckled.
“Come on sweety, don’t try to hide things from us. We can sense very well.” He said.
“Fact!” Sandy joined him.
I let out a sigh. I narrated them about my not yet blossomed relationship with Harsha, his jealousy, his sudden anger, except for our Ki.. You guys would have understood by now.
As I completed saying this, I heard a loud laugh. Of course, it was Giraffe. Sandy shushed him to be silent. I stamped his foot in anger.
“Ouch!! Mad woman!! It hurts!!” He whimpered in pain.
“Crazy gal! He feels for you, Nieve. Try to understand.” Sandy said. Though I felt the same, it was hard for me to believe it.
” Unless he doesn’t confess, how can I believe? ” I asked her.
“Why you gals always expect men to confess first? What’s wrong in confessing first?” Giraffe asked us.
“Are you my friend, or his?” I asked him angrily.
“Obviously, him!!” He said as he winked at me.
“You cheat!!” I roared.
“Vidyut, girls always expect boys to confess first. You won’t understand!” Sandy said.
“Whatever!” Giraffe said as he shrugged his shoulders.
“Then what will we do now to make him confess?” He asked.
“Let me think” Sandy replied.
“Excuse me, no need of any plannings. I don’t want any other fiasco to happen.” I warned them.
“Nothing will happen. Chill!” They chorused together.
“No ways! Please!” I told them pleadingly. Just then, my phone rang. It was Ishaan.
“Hello?”
“…………”
“Okay, I’ll be there within half an hour” I said as I hung up.
“Guys! Time for me to leave. There’s an important meeting which was fixed all of a sudden and I need to be there. Sorry! And guys, no need of any plans. Okay?” I muttered and hurried up without listening their reply.
***************************
“She has gone out to meet her friends, Harsha. Vidyut and Sandya. Vidyut is such a nice guy, isn’t he?” Mom replied when I asked where was SHE. Duh! He has won the heart of Mom too. I just nodded and went upstairs. Today, it was an early pack up. Hence, am home this early. I know what I did yesterday night was wrong. I had kissed her without her permission. I don’t know how did that happen. But when she didn’t reciprocate, I sensed that she wasn’t happy by that. May be, she is not used to me yet. What if she doesn’t like me? No… That could not be possible. She cares for me. Care arises from love. That’s what I believe. And I feel damn jealous when that guy is around her. Urgh! I can’t tolerate this. Lately, I realised that I do feel for her. When I met her for the first time, I was a kind of attracted to her. Her smile, her simplicity just stole my attention that day. When mom told me that it was SHE, whom I was going to marry, I felt happy and relaxed. I had a conviction that she would be the most suitable for my family. And she is. More than my family, me. But what did I do? I haven’t spent quality time with her. In these 3 months, I was so busy in my professional commitments that I failed to realise her situation. How would she have felt?
I wanted to surprise her by paying a surprise visit on her birthday. That’s why I planned all the things which she disliked, like the printed letter, the neckpiece and many more. I wanted to surprise her after disappointing her. Unfortunately, I had a schedule that night. And that stupid Vishal had already sent those things in advance. That plan of mine was an utter failure. And today, I thought of taking her for a date. But again! This time she has gone out. I cursed my fate.
“Ha giraffe. I have reached home. I don’t think he would have come this early. Okay, we’ll meet tomorrow. Bye!!”
I heard her voice as she entered the room.
This guy! Always behind my Ananya. When I am here, HER HUSBAND is here, what’s the need of worrying whether she reached safe or not? Damn! I am a nomad. He might have thought that I am out for shooting. It’s good that he called her. Why am I becoming so restless nowadays? I know the answer. But….
“You’re early here!!” She exclaimed. I could sense the happiness on her face.
“Any problem?” I asked coldly. Damn it! Why am I behaving like this? I am not able to digest the fact that when her friend could call and ask her if she reached safely, I did not. May be, I am showing my frustration on her.
Her smile vanished and a frown replaced it.
“What’s your problem?” She asked me, folding her hands.
This move of hers, stunned me for a second.
“I don’t have any problem” I said.
“Don’t lie! I know that there’s something troubling you.”
“Oh, is it? Then you yourself find it!” I told her, frustrated to the core.
“Come on, Harsha! Don’t act childish. I know that you’re jea…..” She stopped all of a sudden. She took a deep breath.
“I know that you’re jealous of my relationship with Vidyut.” She said making me shocked.
“Jealous? What nonsense? Nothing like that.” I managed to lie.
“Mr. Actor, now you don’t try to act. I will enroll you in a good acting school.” She said in between her chuckle.
I felt my anger slowly rising.
“Fine!! I agree! Happy now?” I said angrily.
“Why should you be jealous?” She asked me.
“Because…..” I stopped. I could not complete it.
“Because?” She asked me.
“Leave it!” I said.
“You’re getting jealous by seeing this. Then what would be my condition when I saw you romancing that broomstick?” She asked me angrily.
Broomstick? Lol!! This is so funny man! I know that she’s referring to that co-actress of mine. So, does it mean that she too was jealous?!
“You were smiling widely that day!” I said.
“Actually, I pretended to smile. I was afraid that… Afraid that you would become upset. That’s why. Even I am an ordinary girl. I too have feelings. Unlike you!!” She shot at me.
“Oh hello! Who said that I don’t have feelings? I have feelings towards yo..” Gosh! What did I do??
“Towards whom? That broomstick?” She asked me mockingly.
“Very funny!” I exclaimed.
“Then you have feeling towards whom?” I asked her as curiosity seeped through.
“I won’t tell you!” She said as she stuck her tongue out. I froze for a minute, looking at her cute face.
“I know it” I said smiling.
“What?! Then tell me, who it is?” She asked me.
“SRK!!” I told her.
“He he… Exactly wrong answer!” She told me.
“Ha… He has grown old. Varun dhawan?” I asked her.
“Wrong answer” she said. I could sense the disappointment on her face. I know who it is. But, I thought to tease her.
“Tubelight!!” I heard her muttering under her breath. I bit my cheeks to prevent myself from laughing.
“Sorry… I don’t know” I pretended.
“Idiot!! It is YOU!! I LOVE YOU HARSHA!!” She said in a go, making me go mad in happiness.
