Rudra returned in the evening all tired and went to his room.
“Rudra what had happened that you ran away ?”
“Some stupid notice from college, that’s it.”
“Sure ?”
“Absolutely.”
“Ok now come for dinner, dadi said she made your favourite gajar ka halwa.”
“Oh my god, Sumo lets rush else everyone will eat it.”
“Ok, stop drooling and come on now come with me.”
And they went down and as usual Rumya sat next to dadi and Rudra had eaten four bowls while all were surprised Saumya being shocked was an understatement.
“Rudra ?”
“Ha Sumo ”
“Do you realise how much halwa you have eaten ?”
“Yeah four, and this is going to be my fifth why you ask ?”
“I mean you are obsessed with your six pack abs and the rate with which you are eating, you will start looking like a pregnant lady.”
All laughed.
“Excuse me Sumo,its my cheat day besides, you have to check your food otherwise in a few days you will again be looking like a sumo wrestler, Sumo.”
“Oh hello, don’t make me angry otherwise-”
“Otherwise what Sumo ?”
“Stop it Rudra !”
“Why Sumo is hungry ?!”
Saumya got up from her chair and went up in their room.
While everyone at the table was thinking what Saumya will do with Rudra, he was busy licking of the fifth bowl of his halwa.
Suddenly they saw her coming with a big jar of whey protein and they turned to see Rudra who was completely oblivious to what was going to happen with him.
She brought her index finger to her lips, asking them to keep their mouth shut and they complied knowing what was going to happen to their Dumbell Singh Oberoi.
She quickly opened the lid and emptied the entire content of the jar on his head making him look like a ghost of joker, without the red nose. Tej and Shakti laughed so hard that tears started coming down from their eyes.
Saumya sat at her place completely ignoring the ghost she just made and dadi tried to control her laugh but couldn’t and laughed out loud.
Rudra was fuming and if it was possible to have the steam out of his ears, Tej would have died. Saumya ate her dinner and also ate her halwa. He threw the protein powder on his hands at her plate, which made her chuckle and the making others laugh at his childish antics. One glare and everyone started eating dinner while Saumya left to keep her plate and ran up quickly to lock herself in their room. She was enjoying this.
“Saumya open the f**king door!!”
“Saumya who Saumya I’m the great sumo wrestler of Japan.”
“Now I get it, called you Sumo that is why you did this, please open the door Saumya I need to take a bath the powder is sticking to my body, please.”
“No.”
“Miss Saumya Tendulkar Kapoor please open the door.”
“No.”
“Mrs. Saumya Rudra Singh Oberoi please open the door to this slave, I’ll do whatever you want me to.”
Saumya Rudra Singh Oberoi.
She always wanted him to call her his wife use her full name but with love and respect, he would never love her she knew. What she didn’t know was that he loved her to the moon and back, he was very passionate about his love, his care always showed that even her sister Svetlana saw that but she was completely oblivious to his love for her.
“Earth to Saumya, open this damn door !!”, he shouted.
“N O no , full stop, now Mr. Hulk, you cant smash this door, you are not the real Hulk, you are not going to enter this room until you say sorry, and if you don’t, you are sleeping outside.”
“Sorry ? You were the one who started it, Sorry Over my dead body.”
He left to the ground floor looking helpless, went into Omkara’s room took a bath there, changed into his clothes which somehow fit him. Then threw his clothes in the laundry room, went up to see that the door was still locked he slept there on the sofa exhausted.
After sometime Saumya came out to see him sleeping. She took one of his arms around her neck and somehow took him inside, he was so heavy.
“Pakka pichle janam mein kisi planet pe the Incredible Hulk tha. ” she murmured.
She started working on her lyrics and was up the whole night, while he slept as she kissed goodnight on his forehead and deeply kissed him on both his cheeks making him smile like a baby.
Next day he was shocked to see himself on the bed while Saumya kept drinking juice looking at him intently.
“Sorry.”
“Good.”
“And I mean it.”
“Sorry.”
“Again for what ?”
“For what happened on our suhagraat and I mean it.”
She smiled. But it didn’t reach her eyes he noticed. He reminded her of her past.
“Shit f**king shit, I’m such a a*sh*le.”, he murmured under his breath.
He got up and kissed her cheeks deeply, and she smiled this time her smile reaching her eyes.
They both started studying after sometime Saumya got, went inside and changed.
“Where are you going Saumya ?”
“YouTube recording and shooting I will be back by evening and you better study everything I’ll ask you.”
“Ok, bye all the best.”
As soon as she left, he went to her YouTube channel and went to her songs playlist.
“Same old love, let’s listen.”
And clicked on play.
“Take away your things and go
You can’t take back what you said, I know
I’ve heard it all before, at least a million times
I’m not one to forget, you know
I don’t believe, I don’t believe it
You left in peace, left me in pieces
Too hard to breathe, I’m on my knees
Right now, ‘ow
I’m so sick of that same old love, that shit, it tears me up
I’m so sick of that same old love, my body’s had enough
Oh, (that same old love)
Oh, (that same old love)
I’m so sick of that same old love, feels like I’ve blown apart
I’m so sick of that same old love, the kind that breaks your heart
Oh, (that same old love)
Oh, (that same old love)
I’m not spending any time, wasting tonight on you
I know, I’ve heard it all
So don’t you try and change your mind
‘Cause I won’t be changing too, you know
You can’t believe, still can’t believe it
You left in peace, left me in pieces
Too hard to breathe, I’m on my knees
Right now, ‘ow
I’m so sick of that same old love, that shit, it tears me up
I’m so sick of that same old love, my body’s had enough
Oh, (that same old love)

I’m so sick of that, so sick of that love

I’m so sick of that, so sick of that love
I’m so sick of that same old love, that shit, it tears me up
I’m so sick of that same old love, my body’s had enough

“Whats next?”
“IDGAF what does that mean.”
And he clicked on play button.
“You call me all friendly
Tellin’ me how much you miss me
That’s funny, I guess you’ve heard my songs
Well, I’m too busy for your business
Go find a girl who wants to listen
‘Cause if you think I was born yesterday
You have got me wrong
So I cut you off
I don’t need your love
‘Cause I already cried enough
I’ve been done
I’ve been movin’ on since we said goodbye
I cut you off
I don’t need your love, so you can try all you want
Your time is up, I’ll tell you why
You say you’re sorry
But it’s too late now
So save it, get gone, shut up
‘Cause if you think I care about you now
Well, boy, I don’t give a f**k
I remember that weekend
When my best friend caught you creepin’
You blamed it all on the alcohol
So I made my decision
‘Cause you made your bed, sleep in it
Play the victim and switch your position
I’m through, I’m done
So I cut you off
I don’t need your love
‘Cause I already cried enough
I’ve been done
I’ve been movin’ on since we said goodbye
I cut you off
I don’t need your love, so you can try all you want
Your time is up, I’ll tell you why
You say you’re sorry
But it’s too late now
So save it, get gone, shut up
‘Cause if you think I care about you now
Well, boy, I don’t give a f**k
I see you tryna’ get to me
I see you beggin’ on your knees
Boy, I don’t give a f**k
So stop tryna’ get to me
Tch, get up off your knees
‘Cause, boy, I don’t give a f**k
About you
No, I don’t give a damn
You keep reminiscin’ on when you were my man
But I’m over you
Now you’re all in the past
You talk all that sweet talk, but I ain’t comin’ back
Cut you off
I don’t need your love
So you can try all you want
Your time is up, I’ll tell you why
(I’ll tell you why)
You say you’re sorry
But it’s too late now
So save it, get gone, shut up
(Too late now)
‘Cause if you think I care about you now
Well, boy, I don’t give a f**k
(Boy, I don’t give a f**k)
I see you tryna’ get to me
I see you beggin’ on your knees
Boy, I don’t give a f**k
So stop tryna’ get to me (Get to me)

“Pakka mere upar hee yeh song bana hai.”
“FRIENDS OFFICIAL FRIENDZONE ANTHEM ??!!!”
He clicked play nervously.
“Oooh oh, oooh woh
Oooh oh, oooh woh
You say you love me, I say you crazy
We’re nothing more than friends

When you say you love me, that make me crazy
Here we go again

“The heart wants what it wants, lets see.”
Play.
“You got me sippin’ on something
I can’t compare to nothing
I’ve ever known, I’m hoping
That after this fever I’ll survive
I know I’m acting a bit crazy
Strung out, a little bit hazy
Hand over heart, I’m praying
That I’m gonna make it out alive
The bed’s getting cold and you’re not here
The future that we hold is so unclear
But I’m not alive until you call
And I’ll bet the odds against it all
Save your advice ’cause I won’t hear
You might be right but I don’t care
There’s a million reasons why I should give you up
But the heart wants what it wants
The heart wants what it wants
You got me scattered in pieces
Shining like stars and screaming
Lighting me up like Venus
But then you disappear and make me wait
And every second’s like torture
Hell over trip, no more so
Finding a way to let go
Baby, baby, no I can’t escape
The bed’s getting cold and you’re not here
The future that we hold is so unclear
But I’m not alive until you call
And I’ll bet the odds against it all
Save your advice ’cause I won’t hear
You might be right but I don’t care
There’s a million reasons why I should give you up
But the heart wants what it wants
The heart wants what it wants
The heart wants what it wants
The heart wants what it wants
This is a modern fairy tale
No happy endings
No wind in our sails
But I can’t imagine a life without
Breathless moments
Breaking me down, down, down, down
The bed’s getting cold and you’re not here
The future that we hold is so unclear
But I’m not alive until you call
And I’ll bet the odds against it all
Save your advice ’cause I won’t hear
You might be right but I don’t care
There’s a million reasons why I should give you up
But the heart wants what it wants
The heart wants what it wants
The heart wants what it wants
The heart wants what it wants
The heart wants what it wants, baby
It wants what it wants, baby
It wants what it wants
It wants what it wants
The heart wants what it wants, baby
It wants what it wants”
He cried, he saw her crying in the video and that made him cry.
He noticed the date of release, it was just after she had left for Australia.
That meant she had something for him, was it love?
He read in the description.
“Sometimes people who we love with all our heart hurt us so bad that we cant forgive them but still our heart aches for them, this song is dedicated to those people who suffer from this conflict whether to love them or give them up, and yes I really cried in the video its not glycerin, I never knew I could write such good and heart touching lyrics *winks and pats on the back, self praise whoohoo* enjoy the video and much love to my viewers.
Chiao,
Saumya.”
That means maybe she loved him at that time but did she love him now, he questioned himself, not knowing that she loved him with all her heart.
He received a notification about her new song.
“Ishq de fanniyar, what does this mean ? Lets see ”

“Ishq de fanniyar lad gaye
Meri jaan ke peechhe pad gaye
Seedhi laake dekho mere
Dil ki chhat pe chadh gaye
Sau sau awaazein maare akhiyan
Maare akhiyan, maare akhiyan
Usey neeche chhat se utaare akhiyan
Utaare akhiyan, utaare akhiyan
Sau sau awaazein maare akhiyan
Ikk uska naam pukaare
Sohne rang de Ranjheya
Tere hi jaise lagte hain saare
Darr lagta na ho jaaye yaari
Sohne rang de Ranjheya…
Poochh le tu chaand se
Ginti hoon taare
Darr lagta na ho jaye yaari
Sohne rang de Ranjheya… ho…
Usey pakde kaun sapera
Hai fann uske furteele
Woh teekhi jeebh se gaaye
To lagte raag sureele (x2)
Sun sun raat guzaare akhiyan
Ikk uska naam pukaare
Sohne rang de Ranjheya
Tere hi jaise lagte hain saare
Darr lagta na ho jaaye yaari
Sohne rang de Ranjheya
Poochh le tu chaand se
Ginti hoon taare
Darr lagta na ho jaaye yaari
Sohne rang de Ranjheya ho”
Such a soothing voice she had when she sang in hindi, he wondered.
He knew tomorrow he will give her a surprise when she will wake up and started studying, his brothers were going to return in two days, and if he didn’t study he was going to die from his brothers’ and wife’s bare hands and his bhabhis won’t even save him.
