SIYAASAT - Chapter 62: Chapter 62

Night
Mansion
Rehan Pratap Singh
" See this is the way to reach to her heart" I pointed out the way on the table. All my friends are sitting surrounding the table.
" And these are obstacles," Soham asked lifting a glass of water.
" Yes her Bhai and that Ayaan" I gritted my teeth, his eyebrows moving up as he stare at the random things I placed on the table. Glass and pen stand and at the end a flower vase.
" Then you can go like this" Soham moved his hand moving past the glass and knocked off the pen stand and reached towards the flower vase.
"Simply, you have only two obstacles," Karthik said, I shook my head.
" I want to reach to flowers but there is a wall as well" I indicated towards the vase.
" These are her feelings from which she covered her heart. Lack of trust, insecurity, ego, stubbornness etc"
" Ok this is tough" Soham nodded leaning back on his seat.
" When did I say it's not but I'll clash with any hurdle which is between me and her and win her back" I smiled taking her mangalsutra in my palm before kissing it.

" Swadheenta" I jerked awake from my sleep and realised it was a dream.
I sat up and wipe off the sweat on my forehead controlling my fast heartbeats. I saw a nightmare no I saw that fire incident but the difference is that I saw a pillar fall on her I was going towards her but I can't reach her and the pillar fell.
I feel goosebumps rise on my arms. I turn on the night lamp and grab the jug and glass, pouring the water into the glass I gulped it down and lay down back.
Now I understand why she screamed in her sleep when a bullet was fired at me. She cares for me so much that even in her sleep she was thinking about me.
I look towards the side of the bed which was empty.
I miss you.
I'm missing you badly.
If you were here we could talk just like that night and then sleep in each other arms. The nightmare snatches my sleep so I picked up my phone and open her picture.
She was smiling and looking at the camera. It was our picture she clicked it because she thought I'm looking too good in a yellow kurta.
But she is also not looking less. I smiled.
Hope you'll smile again at me like this.
^^^^^^^
Morning
Swadheenta
I entered the office and frowned when I saw red roses and a gift placed on the desk. I went towards the desk and picked up the gift and rotate it but there is no name of the sender.
I opened the gift wrap and looked at the item inside it. I picked it up and a smile come on my face it is a beautiful hand mirror.
Then I placed down the mirror and picked up the flower and take a long breath their amazing fragrance made me smile.
" Good morning" I heard Ayaan's voice and turned and smiled at him.
" Swadheenta I want to.." I didn't let him complete and spoke.
" It's ok I forgive you" he frowned and come toward me.
" But I didn't ask for forgiveness "
" So what? You got me this lovely gift" I showed the mirror and " these flowers which are matching with my dress. Red, red"
" I'm so happy Ayaan first time someone got flowers and a suprise gift, thank you" I grinned at him.
" Umm, thanks but I didn't send this," he said rubbing the back of his head, I knitted my eyebrows in confusion and look down at the flowers.
" Then?"
" Tumhara Ashiq"
" Mera koi ashiq nahi hai" I turned back and placed the flower back on the desk.
Maybe Bhai ordered them for Bhabhi. Damn, I have to pack it back like before.
" Your husband," Ayaan said standing next to me, I glance at him and then back at the flowers.
Aj tak ek phool, phool toh choro ek patti tak gift nahi kari or ekdum se yeh sab?
Ayaan remove the paper chit which was wrapped around flowers and gave it to me.
Humari Maharani
Bohot din ho gaye the tumhari muskurahat dekhe toh bohot sochne ke baad ki aisi kon si chiz de jisse tumhare labo pe muskurahat aa jaye isliye aaina tohfe me diya hai jise tum din me hazaro baar niharti ho or ise achhi baat kya ho sakti hai tum jinti baar niharogi unti baar tumhe humari yaad bhi aayegi or hum is muskurahat ka wajah bhi banenge.
Rehan, he sends them.
I can't believe the way he is written it absolutely sounding like my Ashiq has written it.
" There is also another page behind it, read" I heard Ayaan and look at the other page.
You didn't listen to me yesterday so I have to write everything. I know I have done a huge mistake and on top of it that girlfriend matter. I apologise to you and let me clear some things.
I was angry at you when you refused to come back home I went to dinner with Roma not on a date and then you came there and you know the rest I came behind you to tell you truth but you were too angry and that girl who refused to look at me get so angry on me, stake her claim and the jealously I saw I thought this is the right idea I'll make you jealous and then you'll come back to me.
But nothing like that happened and this creates a misunderstanding between us on that day when you read that letter written by Roma it was a lie I didn't promise her anything and then you accused my mother I was angry and when I saw Ayaan and you I can't stop my jealousy and I introduced Roma as my girlfriend but you didn't react and I realised I have hurt you.
After that, she went somewhere and just as she returned I cleared the things. I was planning to propose to you at that party and when I was discussing it Roma walked in and listen to everything. She created a misunderstanding. I was going to propose to you.
Please believe me and I have to tell you one more thing too but I want to say it to you.
Tumhara Shehzaada.
I clenched the flowers in my hand in anger.
I was angry, I decided to make you jealous, I was jealous of seeing you with Ayaan.
I, I, I. It was all about him from starting he only care about himself.
I throw the flowers backwards and hear Ayaan chuckle I turned and glared at him but he is looking behind me. I turned and my eyes widened when I saw who is standing there.
The flowers fell on his feet then I move my gaze up and saw his fist clenched then I saw his face, his jaw clenched and eyes closed.
I accidentally throw the flower on his face.
Nice.
" What do you think of yourself? I asked you to sign divorce papers and here you're giving me flowers and love letters like I'm your girlfriend?" I demanded taking a step ahead, he open his eyes there is anger in them.
Of course, Maharaj ki bejati jo hi gayi.
He sigh and softly said.
" You're my wife" he smiled at me.
" I'm his fiance " I pointed towards Ayaan angrily. Instead of getting angry, he burst into laughter and I frowned in confusion.
" You think you'll say anything and I'll believe you?" He chuckled.
" I'm saying the truth"
" Yeah" he pursed his lips and nodded sarcastically.
I look at Ayaan and glared at him.
Tum kya kade ho kar natak dekh rahe ho.
Seems like he understands me and comes forward.
" She is saying the truth" Ayaan said firmly and the humour left Rehan as he glares at him and both of them stand face to face.
" Back off" Rehan threatened glaring straight in his eyes.
" No" Ayaan glared too.
" Humari Maharani hai vo" Rehan took a step ahead intimidating him.
I have to do something before this verbal fight turns physical
I move forward and grabbed Ayaan's arm and look up at Rehan with a grin on my face.
" You don't believe us? We were going for shopping for our engagement and why don't you come with us and saw everything is fake or not?" Rehan is staring at me like trying to find the truth in my words.
" Fine"
I feel someone's gaze on me it was Ayaan who is staring at me with a raised eyebrow. I smiled lightly at assuring him and myself as well.
---------
Mall
I'm sitting here for two hours yes, two hours. I thought Rehan will believe me and leave but I don't know he is this stubborn and Ayaan is no less both of them are sitting on either side of me and choosing the lehenga like they have to wear it.
" This"
" This"
I look up and found Rehan pointing at another lehenga and Ayaan pointing at another. Their choice didn't match.
" Swadheenta you choose," Ayaan asked me.
" She'll like my choice," Rehan said with confidence.
Although I liked Rehan's choice more but I have to make him believe there is nothing between us and I have moved on.
" I'll go and try this" I smiled and take the lehenga from Ayaan's hand and the smirk dropped from Rehan's face and turned sad.
I get up and made my way towards the dressing room and when I feel a grip on my forearm and I stopped and saw Rehan.
" What do you want now?" I snapped.
" Why are you doing this?" He asked coming closer trying to keep his hand on my cheek, I jerk his hand.
" Because I have moved on you move too and sign the papers and let me happy"
" And what about my happiness?"
" You think about mine" I raised my eyebrow, and he turned silent.
I move inside the dressing room and shut the door but I felt like I heard a feminine voice calling Ayaan I open the door and move my gaze and my eyes widened in fear when I saw Sohani who is coming toward Ayaan and Rehan who is looking in his mobile.
Damnit if Rehan saw Sohani my plan will fail and he'll never sign the papers.
I have to do something. I saw Sohani coming running towards us. I have to do something fast.
" Ayaan"
Rehan look up seems like he listened to her voice before he can turn back I grabbed his forearm and yanked him inside the room and close the door.
Thank god.
I turned and found Rehan looking at me with wide eyes. I look somewhere else avoiding his eyes.
Now, what do I tell him?
I turned my back towards him and tucked a strand of my hair behind my ear nervously I look up and in the reflection of the mirror, I saw his sharp gaze on me.
I can't even hide my face all walls have mirrors.
" Swadheenta," he said and come forward my back touched with his chest and I gulped. He placed his hands on my waist and buried his face in my hair and I closed my eyes.
Do something Swadheenta.
" Vo...vo...I need your help" I said suddenly and he look up and frowned.
" Help?"
" Ye-s yes" I nodded.
His eyes searching for my eyes through the mirror but I'm avoiding it.
" The zip on my dress got stuck" I saw him look down and his eyebrows knitted in confusion.
Didn't he know how to open zip?
He knows how to untie a blouse.
What the hell are you thinking Swadheenta!
Why do you have to come now Sohani?
" There is no zip," he said and I opened my eyes and frowned.
" Nahi hai" he shook his head.
" Dhyaan se dekho"
" Nahi hai"
" Or dhyaan se dekho"
" Nahi Hai" he said firmly.
" Aisa thodi hota hai serials me toh hoti hai" I mumbled angrily.
My eyes widened when he yanked me back and wrapped his arms around my belly holding me against him.
" Rehan leave me" I placed my hands above his and try to remove them. He clicked his tongue and pulled me more closer. I feel his lips touching my ear and I shudder at the feeling.
" I want to say something and what could be a better place than here where you can't run away" he whispered in my ear.
" I..."
" I won't listen" I place my hands on my ear closing my eyes.
I feel his removing his hand and taking a step back but I shivered when I feel his finger on my bare back.
I feel him trace his finger in horizontal line then vertical line then horizontal.
I.
I again feel his finger this time moving in vertical than horizontal.
L
My eyes widened.
