Hello friends… NILASH back with the next part. Thank You so so much for all your amazing responses. HAPPY READING
Next day arrived and OmRu with Ishu-Soumya came to visit Anika.
“Shivay… I want to speak to Rudra, alone, please you take them out” Anika whispered in Shivay’s ear.
“Ohh bhabhi, talk to us, your bhagad billa is always there with you but we are going back tomorrow” Rudra said.
“Actually, Om and Ishu-Soumya come with me… I want to discuss something with you all” Shivay said calling them.
“Haawww… why only them? I will also come” Rudra said rolling his lips.
“Rudra… leave them, let them go… I will spend time with you here? Won’t you spend time with me?” Anika asked and made a sad sad face.
“Yes yes you all paraya dhan… go away, I and my bhabhi wants some privacy” Rudra said and Anika smiled while ruffling Rudra’s hair.
Shivay walked out with everyone and before closing the door showed a thumbs up to Anika. Rudra sat in front of Anika.
“Rudra… will you answer some of my questions?” Anika asked.
“Aap mera test lene waale ho? (you want to take a test of mine?)” Rudra asked.
“No, just some normal simple questions… will you answer?” Anika said and asked.
“Okay ask” Rudra smiled.
“Do you like Soumya?” Anika asked while holding Rudra’s hand. Rudra bowed his head down to hide his blush and the smile on his lips.
“Ohho someone is blushing” Anika teased him while Rudra hid his face over her lap. Anika brushed his hairs.
“Yes… but a little” Rudra replied and immediately covered up “but please don’t tell Soumya, she won’t talk to me if she gets to know” he got up and said.
“Okay I won’t say, but you go and confess this to her” Anika suggested.
“But bhabhi” Rudra tried to deny but Anika did not allow him to speak further “no Rudra, listen to your heart and just follow your heart and I know your heart says that you love her”
Rudra ran out of the cabin to hide his blush, his body temperature raised and anyone can easily say after looking at his face and smile that how madly in love is he and after getting the support of his PIC he was so happy.
[PIC- Partner In Crime]
Shivay went to Anika while Om was busy with Ishana in arranging the vehicle for next day to go to the airport. Rudra was desperately finding Soumya to tell her what he feels about her because that was the correct time according to him as after going back to India Soumya will get busy in her work.
“There she is” he murmured and innocently smiled. He took slow steps and reduced the distance between him and his love.
“Soumya…” he called her and she turned to him and smilingly replied “hi…”
He sat beside her and was looking into her eyes while she blushed and looked away hoping to go away from his deadly stare.
“You… you want to say something?” she asked as her breath got uneven.
Rudra closed his eyes and in a go said what he wanted to “I love you Soumya… I love you a lot, please be mine… I promise not to hurt you or let anyone hurt you ever” he opened his eyes. Rather than she being shocked she was in tears and her eyes were not showing her love but something else that he couldn’t understand. Some hurt maybe, or some past memories.
“Soumya, don’t don’t cry please… tell me what happened” Rudra said and held her hand tightening his grip.
Soumya jerked off his hand and with utmost control she said “leave me alone… leave me alone for sometime”
“What happened… tell me… you… you don’t love me… but then… then why you showed care and concern for me… when… whenever we met” Rudra said with stopping and gulping down his pain in between.
“Rudra… please leave me alone, I don’t want to speak about this matter now” Soumya replied but Rudra did not leave her and pulled her towards him and said “you at first answer my question… then I will leave you” his voice was demanding.
“Just shut up and go away” Soumya pushed him and as a result he fell down and Soumya ran away from there wiping off her tears and trying not to cry. Rudra could not think more and ran to Anika’s cabin and hugged her tight and allowed his tears to flow down.
“Rudra… Rudra what happened? What happened?” Anika asked rubbing his back trying to calm him down.
“She… Soumya… Soumya doesn’t love me… she doesn’t love me” Rudra said and his hiccups interrupted in between. The boy who was happy and was dancing some moments ago was all shattered. Anika felt guilty and with all her affection she asked “what exactly happened Rudra? Tell me… I will speak to her”
Rudra explained how her expressions changed when he confessed his love, she was not angry neither happy but she was hurt, he eyes welled up and she tried to run away from him. He explained how she pushed him and just went away without even looking back.
“What has happened to her? Why will she react like this… Rudra you relax… there is something that she is hiding from us” Anika said and asked Shivay through her lip movements to bring Soumya there.
Om and Ishana also got to know what all exactly happened from Shivay. They walked into the cabin and waited for Shivay to return while Anika was trying to calm Rudra down. After long minutes Shivay walked in with Soumya.
“Soumya, come here” Anika called her close and asked her to sit beside her. Rudra was on one side and on the other side Soumya was sitting. Rudra’s tears have stopped but his hurt was still visible over his face while Soumya was all silent. Her face was warm and the corner of eyes had water indicating that she have been crying.
“What’s the matter fairy?” Anika asked brushing her hair.
“Nothing di” Soumya replied stopping Anika from what she was doing.
“You know right… that you cannot lie to me?” Anika asked.
“Nothing di… can I go now?” Soumya asked eyeing Anika but soon she looked down as she knew she can never lie to Anika looking at her eyes.
“You will go but at first answer my question” this time Anika’s voice sounded strict, Soumya just kept quite and wiped the fresh tear that just tickled out of her right eye, “I am asking something Soumya” Anika asked again.
“Di, I don’t want to answer now… please let me go” Soumya’s voice turned more wet as she replied. Anika understood that something major happened in Soumya’s life that she has perfectly covered up and hided from her di… her own di.
“Okay you don’t want to answer… but how dare you push Rudra in front of everyone?” Anika asked sounding rude and trying to blurt out the truth from Soumya’s mouth by activating her anger hormones.
“Ohh yeah of course di… now this Rudra and his family is more important to you… I am no one right? From a long time I am requesting you to leave me and let me go but no… you have promised this Rudra Singh Oberoi that you will get me to him… but Ms. Anika I am a human being and not a toy” Soumya replied leaving everyone in shock.
“Soumya… shut up, and apologise to him” Anika said.
“I won’t do whatever you want to, I am just going away from here and listen… no one will try to contact me… Di love is not the cup of tea of everyone… you have got the man of your life that doesn’t mean that I will also get… and this Rudra, who cannot even take care of himself nicely and runs after his protein shake will be my life partner… no di… I cannot marry or loose my heart to such a man who plays with the emotions of girls… a blo*dy pleasure seeker” a slap landed on Soumya’s cheeks as she uttered the last words.
Tears started to come out of Anika’s eyes after slapping the girl whom she have grown up and has always considered as her own sister, as her own soul. Soumya ran out holding the cheek where Anika slapped.
After going down Soumya straight went to the garden and broke down crying.
“I am sorry di… but I cannot let you know my problems, you have done enough for me… now I just want you to live your life in peace and I know if I would have shared everything with you then you would have been more hurt knowing everything. I am sorry Rudra for every word of mine, or else you would have never tried to hate me or forget me… as my parents used to say me in childhood that I am a curse, it’s true Rudra… I am a curse… I cannot let anything happen to you and your family, I am a curse” Soumya broke down where no one is there to support her or calm her down.
