Shot 3

Kriyam drenched all over… under the shower… they felt not only their body was getting washed off…but also cleared all doubts and confused feelings about their relation… they were getting more clear….As they intertwined to each other… passionately…

“ Sayyam…. Are you guys ok…??” Kavitha asked worriedly… opening the washroom door… But turns away… suddenly after saw them in that state…

Kriyam broke their hug… within no time…They looked away…

Sayyam turned to Kavitha….

“ Yeah… I get some towels….” she understood and left them….

Sayyam looked at Krishna… he don’t know how to ask her… about yesterday… but it was important…To know…

“ Krishna…. Did… you… saw….him..??” He asked softly…

Krishna startled…after heard that from Sayyam… she don’t know what to do… what to tell him… what if he didn’t believe me…

“ Krishna…I’m sorry…I didn’t want to hurt you….But I want to kill that bl**dy bas**rd…”

Sayyam gritted his teeth…in anger..

Krishna looked at him blankly….then she decided to tell him… he should know about it ..in the first place.. she didn’t thought for another second..

“Yuvaan…..” She said firmly…

Sayyam abruptly took steps backward..in disbelief…

“What are you saying…??” He asked her bewildered…

“It was… Yuvaan….” Krishna said again….

“I can’t believe…” Sayyam was cut off…

“Yes… no one believe me… nobody…But this is the truth… “

Sayyam looked at her state… she was looking like lifeless..Her face contained a blank expression… she was shivering due to coldness… he brought her to the room… covered her with blanket… took one side to dry her hair…. Kavitha reached with some towels and clothes…

“Sorry….these are hospital clothes…Put on for now…” she said handling the dress to Sayyam… Sayyam smiled… he froward Krishna a pair… Krishna looked at him.. confused..

Sayyam got alerted… without uttering a word he understood… what she wanted…

“Kavitha…Can you help to put on these… while I will change in washroom..”

“Oh.. sure…” she happily agreed with him.. Sayyam went to change…and Kavitha helped Krishna to change… her clothes..

“ You… know Krishna…. Sayyam was one of the toughest and strong person I know…But he was shaken up by this incident… I never saw him…so vulnerable like this ever in my life… Try to forget this incident as a bad dream….” She said it camly…

Krishna heard everything like a statue…. But she felt an immense pleasure in her heart… she don’t know why….but the fact that he got vulnerable…Only because he had something for her…deep inside… Krishna tried to smile…

“ Are you guys done…??” Sayyam asked them from washroom..

“ Yeah..We are…Done..” Kavitha said..to Krishna… patting her shoulder…. Sayyam came out… drying his hair… Krishna felt a dizziness… Sayyam keenly watching her so he hold her on time before hitting the trails of coat…

“Krishna….Krishna..”he worriedly patted on her cheek… Kavitha examined her pulse…

Krishna was half awake…. She glared at him tired…

“She need rest…. By morning you will be fine… ok.. Krishna… sleep well…” Kavitha said after checking her BP….and resumed the drips…

“Can I go home…? ” Krishna mumbled..

“Yes…You can…but after finishing this drips…OK..” Kavitha cleared it… Krishna nodded her head…

Sayyam sat near her…. He nodded to Kavitha…that he will take care… she left them…after saying good night to both..

Krishna looked at Sayyam… She felt her eyelids getting heavy… literally body weakness and struggles of the day…made her sleepy…

She raised her hands… Sayyam…hold it….gently… She hold it tightly and then fell asleep…

“Sayyam… Please don’t leave… me… Please…” Krishna muttered in sleep…So many times… he hold her tight….every time..and she slipped into her peaceful sleep… again…

Kriyam reached before BH… Sayyam looked at Krishna…Who were lost in thoughts…. He touched her softly.. she startled a little…

“ Krishna… I lied to Maa… I mean to your Suhani Aunty… that we stayed at a friend of mine…. So if someone ask..Tell this… only…OK..”

Krishna’s eyes got widened….

“ Exactly….don’t give this expression… “ He smiled sarcastically…

They ringed the bell… Yuvani opened the door… she looked at both…

“ Krishna…You came…. Why you looking so dull..?” Suhani asked worriedly…

Krishna tensed and looked at Sayyam…

“She didn’t slept… Yesterday…” he said…As a reason…

“ Why is that….?” Suhani asked him suspicious…

“ Actually… I didn’t sleep anywhere than our home….before.. na.. Aunty…” Krishna tried to clear her doubt on Sayyam…

“Ok… enough of investigation…. Tell about the party… Krishna…“ Yuvani dragged both….pulling their hands… while she pressed Sayyam’s wounded hand…

“Aah…..” he screamed in writhing pain… as the freshly cut wound bleed again…

Everyone got concerned of Sayyam… Suhani… checked his wound…” What happened…?” she ask him worried…

“I slipped…and….and…fell on glass table…So…So…The cut…” Sayyam lied… again without looking at Suhani…

Yuvani got suspicious… “What happened to your saree….?”

Sayyam fed up of lying to all… he looked at Krishna…She was also tried to find a reason but…In vain…

“ She is also slipped….” Krishna about to say something..but swallowed..As Sayyam found a good reason…

“I mean when I slipped..Water fell on the floor…and she came running…Slipped… and torn her saree… so…” Sayyam….said it one breath….

“You need dressing…For your wound..” Krishna told Sayyam by pulling his hands…and they left to their room…So they can skip another round of questions….

Kriyam reached their room…Blew out some air in relief…. Both looked at each other… smiled…

But their smile vanished in seconds as they Yuvani watching them… quizzically…

“You know what…You can fooled everyone out there expect me….” Yuvani charged at them…

“Now tell me what exactly happened…??” Yuvani looked at the duo…Who were out of words..

“Krishna…..Tell me what happened….or should I call mom…??” Yuvani shook Krishna who was at verge of cry…

“Krishna…Why are you crying…?” Yuvani yelled at her…

“Shhh…” Sayyam hushed her and locked the door…then they told her everything…

Yuvani was stunned to heard all about… She couldn’t believe… but that’s the hard truth… Krishna was whimpering…. Yuvani hugged her tight…She was also crying….

She stood up after some time… she wiped off her tears…

“We… need to tell everyone…Today…” she was determined….

“But…Yuvani.. nobody believe me… or Krishna will be shattered if he counter attacked her…” Sayyam told her about his state…

“ He was very good at put his blame on others…” he got raged.. after thinking about him…

“ He will do it by himself…. He will confess everything he has done to Krishna…”

Yuvani said confidently… Kriyam looked at each other…

“But how….?” they asked her together…

Yuvani shares her plan…

Yuvaan….peek into BH…It was dark everywhere… he wondered where is everyone… Did Krishna told everything…to everyone… he panicked after thinking about…But he bumped into someone… he got scared…

“ Yuvaan…. It’s me… where were you all day…huh…?” Yuvani asked him casually…

“I…I..Was… just…Hanging out …” he stammered…

“Where is everyone…??” He enquired…

“Oh… Baby didn’t tell you…They went for a party… I’m also leaving….” She added..

Yuvaan…Sighed in relief…

“You need something…??” Yuvani.. asked..

“Yeah… I’m thirsty….can you get some water…” he said…While wiping his sweat from his forehead…

“ Sure…” Yuvani smiled… and gave him a glass of juice.. Yuvaan had it in one go….

He came to his room… freshen up… changed his dress… he felt a dizziness while combing his hair… but decided to ignore.. it.. he went to the hall… then Krishna was there looking again and again at door…. Adrenaline rushed to him after saw her… alone… he remembered what Yuvani said….

He placed his hand her shoulder…. Krishna got scared after saw him…. He smiled evilly… Krishna get back…

“Seems like you didn’t say anything to anyone…about…you know….” he smiled sarcastically…

“Don’t look here and there… none gonna come to rescue you today….” He added…

“Yuvaan… stop it… Sayyam will come at any time…” Krishna warned him..

Yuvaan seems fearless….he advancing towards her….

“Don’t you dare…. to touch me again..” Krishna raised her voice…

“ I had touched you enough yesterday….” He told her to break her confidence…

“ No…. You’re not… the lack of confidence in your words… Evident that ..You couldn’t do anything…” Krishna said firmly…

Yuvaan got raged…He tried to grab on her…. Krishna struggled..To get away… he hold her hands so tight…Her bangles got broken… but he didn’t left her…

“ Taashhh….” Yuvaan felt a burning sensation on his cheek… Before he could say something…He got another tight slap… Suddenly the lights were came…

Yuvaan could saw everything clearly…. His jaw dropped….as he saw the whole family were present there… he got the slap from Suhani…who standing next to him with redden eyes…

“ How could you…?” She asked yelping… holding to Yuvraj….

“Get out of my house…. I don’t need a son like you….” Yuvraj….demanded..

Dadi tried to interfere but no one ready to listen her after what they saw….

Everyone dispersed to their respective rooms with a heavy heart…

Sayyam take Krishna to their room… he get first aid box.. he checked her hand… cautiously removed pieces of bangles and apply antiseptic… he blows each time…She winces in pain…

“ Is she OK…” Yuvani asked him in concern..

Sayyam turned to her after done with Krishna’s aid…

“ Thank you for trusting me….” He said….offering a hug…To his Sister…

She remembers when she added some alcohol to juice which she gave it to Yuvaan…. In his inebriated state…He blurt out everything….

“Anytime….” She hugged him tight….

“Please take care of her…” Yuvani pointed to Krishna… Sayyam nodded happily….

She left them alone…

Krishna resting her head on headboard… when Sayyam came out of washroom…

“I will sleep on couch…” he declared..

Krishna looked at him… sadly… she thought to herself… when will he realize my love….no I couldn’t wait anymore… had to do something….

“I’m scared….Sayyam… can you please stay with me in the bed… Please…” she said making a sad and frightened face…

“Don’t worry… he is not here…” Sayyam tried to console her…

She got angry inside but didn’t show….

“What…What if…He come back…” she said stealing glances at him…

Now Sayyam understood the matter A small smile crept on his face….

“ OK.. I’m here…”

He said by sitting on the other side…. Krishna smiled and lie down…She moved a little towards him…As if she setting the pillow…. Sayyam hide his smile… she pout cutely…as he wasn’t giving her any positive response…

“Tube light…Tube light…He understands nothing…” she murmured in anger….

Sayyam looked at her widened eyes…who turning her back on him..

“ Everytime …I had to take first step… still he is pretending that he doesn’t seem to be bothered…hmmm….” she switched off the lights….

She felt a warm breath on her back… she turned to see two pair dark eyes of Sayyam….

“Did you say Tubelight…??” He asked her showing fake anger…

She was stunned to saw him that closer to her… she stuck in time…She nodded her head negative…and turned to other side…shyly….

Sayyam enjoyed her shyness… he rubbed his nose and lips on her nape…. She hold the pillow….tight..as it sending tingling sensation all over her body…. She felt his hand swirled around her waist and she was pulled towards his chest…

“Are you scared of me now….??” He asked her playfully…. She bite her lips..closed her eyes…in shy…She turned towards him… they both lost in each other… he placed a gentle kiss on her forehead…. She felt it soothing her soul….eternally… they embraced their true love with realization…

That they destined to be together… bound in true love…
