WAIIAAW Chapter 5: The person between us!

Heya I’m back with another chapter of this one as I get so much motivation to write this one. Thank you Twistinians!

Internal monologues are as always bold and without any further ado…

1st December 2020,

~Sai’s POV~
Since that night things have changed. Virat Sir always ignores and hangs out a lot with Pakhi. They talk, smile with each other a lot and it hurts.

He doesn’t even call her Bhabhi and has gone back to calling her Pakhi.

To my surprise I have grown closer to Karishma and Mohit dada. They protect me whenever I get taunted by some family members even when it’s Omi Kaka and Sonali Kaku. Yet I do not trust them with everything unlike Aai who knows everything about me.

I’m about to do some work in my room, when I see Aai weakly going past my room.

“Aai, what’s wrong?” I ask her and she says nothing. As I hold her arm I can feel that she is burning. She has fever.

So I take her downstairs, get her seated on a sofa and look for painkillers as well as something for the fever.

As I’m about to give it to her, Kaku asks, “yahan konsa drama chal raha hai (What drama is going on here)?”

“Badi Mami, mujhe lagta hai ki Ashwini Mami ko koi ghaar ka kaam nahi karna chaati (I think Ashwini aunty doesn’t want to do any housework, older Aunty.” Pakhi starts to taunt Aai.

“Pakhi didi, aap apni hadh mein rahe please(please stay in your limits sister Pakhi),” I say while my anger is at its peak, “kyunki jab aap kuch nah jaane to baiter hoga ki aap apka muh band rakhe(when you do not know what’s going on, so it would be better if you shut your mouth).”

“Sai yeh kaisa taarika hain Pakhi se baad karne ki(Is this the way to talk to Pakhi like that, Sai)?” Virat Sir angrily asks me while some have a happy smirk on their faces.

Why can’t you be as supportive as you were before? My eyes try to ask Virat Sir who doesn’t even look at me. It hurts me because I love him for who he is or rather for who he was.

“Jawaab do mujhe, Sai(Answer me, Sai)!” He yells while scaring me.

“Virat shaant ho jao, Sai ne kuch galat nahi kiya(Calm down Virat, Sai hasn’t done anything wrong), Aai calmly says while holding my arm to be steady, “par Pathrelekha ne mujhe taane maarne ki shuruwaat ki(but it was Pathrelekha who started to taunt me).”

“Haan Virat dada, Ashwini Kaku sach bol rahi hain. Sai Bhabhi to unke liye dawai lene gayi thi(Yes brother Virat, Ashwini aunty is telling you the truth. Your wife was getting the medicines for her).” Mohit dada defends me just like Aai did.

I silently give Aai the medicine and say, “you are not doing any work today. Mohit dada can you please take Aai to her room and Karishma come with me, let’s make something for dinner.” They nod and follow what I said.

Virat Sir is about to say something to me but I leave from the living room as I don’t want to see his face as I may do something that may hurt both of us.

Karishma and I are talking while cooking and she takes my mind off him completely. We laugh as well and soon Shivani Bua joins us too.

When Pakhi tries to help us, I say calmly, “We don’t need anyone else to help us. So you can go back and try to seduce my husband like you have been doing since days,” in the end I’m shouting a bit. Shocking her to the core. At this point I do not care anymore.

I turn around and start doing something else to calm myself down. Karishma hugs me from behind and says, “Don’t worry everything’s going to be fine soon.”

“I hope so,” I say as well as ask, “I just cannot see him with any other woman but me. Am I being selfish?”

“No, you’re not! One of my both husbands has cheated on me and I do understand what you are going through.” Shivani Bua says with a sad smile.

“What about the other husband?” I ask.

“He was only with me because of the money we had.” She truthfully answers back.

“I’m so sorry you had to go through this on your own.” Karishma and I say at the same time and hug her.

“Girls, never let anyone take you for granted, I have gone through it twice and in the end I lost myself somewhere.” She offers us this advice.

“Shivani Bua, apka Viru mere liye Gabbar hai, kyunki woh humesha mujhe daathe rehte hai (Your Viru is a Gabbar for me because he always scolds me, auntie Shivani).” I say with a pout.

She as well as Karishma laughs and then she says, “Seriously Sai, you are crazy but cute.”

“The food’s done,” Karishma says, “I’m going to start serving and Sai Bhabhi can you please call Virat dada and Sunny dada?”

I nod, I take a tray with a bowl of soup and go upstairs to my room when I hear Sunny dada asking Virat Sir, “do you love her?”

Who does he mean by her? My heart asks.

I nearly do not hear the answer, “no, I don’t.”

But I do hear it and I feel broken from the inside.
~End of her POV~

~Meanwhile Virat’s POV~
I feel bad for the way I yelled at Sai.

I’m about to apologise to her, when she angrily leaves the living room, so I divert my attention to the real culprit, my so-called sister-in-law Pakhi who is the woman I did feel something for.

“How dare you taunt my mother?” I angrily ask her.

“I swear I didn’t do anything Virat,” she says with tears in her eyes and everyone else supports her except for Sunny.

“I don’t believe any word you say, Pakhi,” Sunny says to her looking at her angrily, “because Ashwini Kaku never lies and neither does Sai.”

“Do you think that I’m lying Virat?” She innocently asks me or tries to act innocent.

“I believe that you are lying Pakhi Bhabhi,” I truthfully answer back as I continue saying, “because Sai does never raise her voice when someone is doing something right,” she looks hurt, yet at this point, I don’t care enough about her as my main concerns are Aai and Sai, “but only then when someone is being unjust to others.”

She runs into the kitchen after I tell her my opinion.

I walk towards that direction too and hear how Sai is being possessive about me and telling Pakhi off for trying to seduce me.

This girl is going to drive me nuts someday! My mind says.

Pakhi Bhabhi runs out of the kitchen too. I wait a minute and am about to go in when I hear what the three ladies are talking about, my Angrybird wife asking them if she’s being selfish, Shivani Bua telling them her story of her two husbands and Sai calling me a Gabbar again.

Why does she call me that again? My heart asks with a pout while Sunny is trying not to laugh.

One glare of mine is enough. We then go upstairs to my room.

“I cannot believe that Pakhi would lie like that!” Sunny says angrily.

“I know,” I say while not meeting Sunny’s eyes, “and I yelled at Sai because of that.”

“It’s because you heard how Sai Bhabhi talked to Pakhi and your anger took over you.” My best friend says and I silently nod.

“I want to know something from you. Do you love Sai?”

“No maybe yes.” I reply back while being confused about my feelings.

“Do you love her?”

“No, I don’t.” I reply back being more sure about my feelings for Sai whereas Sunny smiles and pats my back.

From the corner of my eyes, I see her.

Did she hear about what Sunny and I have been talking about? My heart sadly asks.

Whereas my mind rolled its eyes at my heart.

Sai is smiling and knocks with her free hand at the door of our room. We stop talking as soon Sunny sees her, we both look towards her as she says, “dinner is ready.”

Sunny and I nod, then I ask her, “who’s bowl of soup is it and are you coming to eat too?”

“I’ll come after feeding Aai, I made the soup for her.”

“I’m going to wait for you. We can eat together like we did a few days back.” I say because I want to apologise to her.

She gives me a half hearted smile and nods. Sunny winks at me excitedly.

What’s wrong with this guy? My mind asks me and I shrug my shoulders. Sai goes towards Aai and baba’s(dad’s) room, knocks at the door and Mohit says, “You can come in Sai Bhabhi.”

She does and Mohit comes out of the room.

He looks at me and says, “dada please never hurt Sai Bhabhi,” he takes a deep breath and then continues saying, “because she is a good hearted person.” And then he leaves while I look at how she is taking care of Aai.

Then she starts to feed her and Aai is complaining because she doesn’t like soups in general.

“Aai apko yeh soup khaana hi parega kyunki apko thik hona hai(You have to eat this soup mom, because you want to get well soon).” Sai commands her while standing in front of her with her hands on her waist and glaring at Aai who is pouting at her.

I didn’t notice Baba joining me, admiring their bond even though he does not like Sai as well as his relationship with Aai is complicated. I know they do love one another but never confessed or tried to get to know each other.

“Mujhe nahi chaiye(I don’t want).” Aai says stubbornly while Baba smiles seeing her like this.

“Aai please or else I won’t talk to you.” Sai emotionally blackmails her.

“Okay, I’m eating as I cannot take that my daughter is not talking to me.”

“Good girl,” Sai smiles at her mother-in-law happily and I smile too. Baba looks stunned.

“So Sai, how did you become the CEO of your Nanu’s(grandfather, father of the mother or mother-in-law) company?”

“Because of my Aai being the CEO before me and she died 4 days after my birth.” She replies back and I’m stunned as I have always heard that she passed away at childbirth.

“I’m so sorry Sai,” Aai says while Sai shakes her head, “what happened to her?”

“She was poisoned, Aai, her murderer is going to pay for killing her.”

“Who killed her?” Baba and I ask. She looks at us in shock.

“It’s okay Sai if you don’t want to share who it was with us, am I right Virat?” Baba says going inside the room, I nod while Sai wipes her tears.

I walk inside too and stand right next to Sai pulling her closer to me, while Baba closes the door, then pats Sai’s head.

“It was V…” She reveals her mother’s killer as well as shocking us three to the core.
~End of his POV~

~AN~
Guys if you watch GHKKPM you all may have noticed the way Virat looks at Sai or even the way he smiles with her. Their smiles seriously match to one another😍

So you see Sai is already in love with Virat.

What about Virat?

Who did Sunny mean when he asked Virat about loving her?

And finally Virat scolded Pakhi🎉

I hope the chapter was not boring!
