Romance Shrishti's Vritti

[Funlover]

Part - 30



Shrishti's question made Sakshi think. Who is guilty, mother, father or grandparents? After some deep thinking, Sakshi said... Friend, after listening to the story you told, I am not able to understand whom should I blame. Sometimes I feel that your father is guilty, sometimes I feel that your mother is guilty, sometimes I feel that your maternal grandparents are guilty, sometimes it seems as if all three are guilty in their own place.



Shrishti... you are right, it is impossible to say who is guilty. You know, mother blames herself and says that if she had not loved such a person with a dual personality, this would never have happened.



The saddest thing is that in her youth, she did not think of remarriage because of me or her experience stopped her from doing this. Whatever it is, but a woman or a man needs each other at the right age. Can you understand what I am saying? This is their favor on me and they sacrificed their youth for me



Sometimes I get scared thinking what if this happens to me too????????



Sakshi…..Yaar this aunty also thinks strangely, how is she the only one guilty. Falling in love is not a crime. Yes, the only crime she committed was that she ran away from home and got married and fell in love with a person who did not love her. Your father is no less guilty in this when he knew that your maternal grandparents were not agreeable. Then he did not love your mother, so he should not have thought of running away and getting married. And it was not right to please your mother, playing with the feelings of a woman means it is equal to playing with the life of a woman or killing her.......your maternal grandparents are no less guilty, when they came to know that their daughter loves someone, they should have accepted it and tested the boy, if he was wrong then they should have explained it to your mother, maybe this would not have happened. What do you think?



Shrishti... I think none of the three is guilty. If anyone is guilty, then it is the circumstances. Maybe some such circumstances must have happened at that time due to which mom and dad met. Their meetings kept increasing and maybe then dad must have come to know that my maternal grandparents are very rich. Then maybe greed must have taken birth in his mind and his main motive must have been to get mom. Then when my maternal grandparents refused, the situation turned against him and to turn the situation in his favor, he must have planned to elope and get married. But even after marriage, the situation did not turn in his favor. Then maybe due to some circumstances, he met another woman. Then everything became a victim of the circumstances and I also became a victim of the same circumstances. Or I am the result of that situation.



Sakshi... I don't think that only circumstances are guilty. Still, if we believe what you say, then how did you become a victim of circumstances? See Shrishti, the dual character personality that your father and maternal grandparents have proved. It is not fair to accept Raghav Sir as them because I have known Raghav Sir for a long time and he looks the way he is.



Shrishti... What you are saying about Sir, I also feel it is right but just think what will happen when his family members will come to know that I am the daughter of a divorced woman whose parents themselves do not have any relation with her.



Sakshi... Aunty being divorced does not become the reason for you and Raghav Sir to be away from each other and it should not become so because Raghav Sir's father has also married twice, you know this and the whole city also knows this.



Shrishti... The main reason behind his second marriage is the death of his first wife but there is nothing like this in the case of mother. Mother is divorced and has been living alone for many years. The contractors of the society portray the character of a single woman according to their convenience. I will not be able to bear if his family members make critical comments on mother because of me, so it is better for me to stay away from them.



After saying this, Shrishti blinked her eyes and turned her face to the other side. Seeing this, Sakshi smiled a little and then turning Shrishti's face towards herself, she said... Shrishti, will you be able to stay away from Sir? Just saying this made your eyes fill up.



Shrishti... I don't know what I will do, I don't even know what is written in my fate. Leave mine, tell me about yourself.



Sakshi... I will tell you about myself but now I give you a guarantee that I will ensure that Raghav Sir is written in your fate. No matter what I have to do for that and anything means anything.



Now this Sakshi is not the same as before and especially with you and aunty when I came to know about aunty.



Shrishti... I will make sure that you...



"Yes, I will tell everything to Raghav Sir." Completing Shrishti's words, Sakshi said



Shrishti...you will not do this at all, I swear to you, if you consider me a friend, then whatever I told you about our friendship, you will not tell even a part of it to Sir.



Sakshi...you stopped me by giving an excuse, but the one who is sitting above, the creator of this universe, has definitely thought of something good for you and may have taken a step towards that, just have to wait for the right time to come.



Shrishti...whatever he has thought, it will not be in my favor, still if you say so, then I will wait and see, okay you sit, I will make two more cups of tea, then while sipping tea, I will also listen to your love story.



Sakshi... make only tea, don't start shedding tears in the name of tea.



Without saying anything, she smiled a little and then went to make tea.



Meanwhile, Matashri also came and Sakshi said boom Shrushti, now three cups of tea, Auntyji has come.



Shrushti said from inside, yes, okay.



And started talking to aunty.



During the little chat, Matashri came to know that Sakshi knows everything now.



In a little while, she returned with two cups of tea and while sipping tea, asked Sakshi to tell her love story.



When Sakshi looked at Matashri once, Matashri said, don't I have the right to know or am I more of a mother and less of a friend?



Sakshi “No aunty, what should I hide from you now, everything is in front of us or will happen.”



Mata Shri “So now I want to know your love story later, first of all you tell me about yourself because you know everything about us but we know you only by name and nothing else.”



Sakshi “There is nothing much interesting in my story or about me aunty.”



Whatever it is, if there is something to appreciate then I will appreciate it and if there is something to scold then I will definitely scold you. Whatever it is, just tell me.”



Sakshi tried to avoid it in the beginning but both of them lost in front of mother and daughter.



Stay tuned.

 

[Funlover]

Now from Sakshi's tongue



Sakshi started speaking



Look aunty I will not tell you in too much detail but I will tell you superficially



My parents' name is "Orphanage"



What??????? A voice came out from the mouth of both mother and daughter



Sakshi: Oh both of you are surprised already ........ First let me tell you, later there will be questions and answers



Sakshi said further



I don't know how I reached the orphanage, my mother must have left me as soon as I gave birth or I may be the result of an immoral relationship or the result of rape or the lust of the mother or the father or both or an unwanted child or someone's mistake, a mistake of young age or a sin, whatever it may be, but later all these became my certificates.



Well, every child is born for a purpose. Parents have hopes, expectations, happiness. It is considered as the fruitful result of their love or the parents get the unique pleasure of their creativity.



My birth was without any purpose. Well, I was found in an orphanage and grew up there under the supervision of the matron. My father's name was given to me as Ramlal, which was only needed for a certificate and there too a mark is attached that it is just a name, nothing biological.



Because I was a topper in school, my studies were continued, that too with the kindness of the trustee... Well, what is love, it is beyond the dictionary for us orphans.



After schooling, to go to college and pay its fees, I did household work, cleaning, cleaning the office.



After all, I am a girl, I blossomed and people started drinking juice.



One day I was sold, but somehow I ran away from there.



Aunty, Being a woman and that too beautiful is a crime. I came to know at a very young age what a woman is and from there I held on to the fact that I am not one of those who are to be sold. My parents have abandoned me but I have to live anyway and I fought with the matron in my own way and learnt that to live in life, it is necessary to fight for one's existence.



Eventually I had to go under the same matron again but this time the purpose was college. I kept working and also kept protecting myself and in this way I became what I am today and my deal was done again but God had written something good in my fate that I listened to him and left the orphanage and I too, like you, came here and lived in a hut and completed college and today I am the one you see.



Yes, I don't want to hide one thing from you here, I saved myself from such a situation but could not keep myself intact, so today I am not intact, now don't ask who that wolf was, from that point of view I am still intact, but my matron had homosexual physical relations with me, that was also necessary for me because she was the one who could save me, still for money she traded me twice but I escaped, so no man took my virginity but only a woman.....



Now you may not want to know my achievement



Know that my achievement is that I did not become a prostitute, made myself capable and am capable of living in a decent society, this is the biggest achievement for orphans like us



Now Shrushti, know that the way I treated you was based on my past experience, I think it should be only me, but your behavior made me respect the society again, otherwise I would have only abused this decent society.



I I am lucky but not every child in the orphanage is as lucky as me. Somewhere she has to accept defeat because there is no faith in the protection of the parents, no umbrella over the head, no guarantee of safety.........yet everyone survives.



Shrushti, do you feel that this happens because of your mother or do you curse yourself and you can cry by keeping your head in your mother's lap, I am sure that a loving and meaningful hand will always remain on your head.



What should I do???? Where should I cry, on which shoulder, to whom should I present my happiness or sorrow? There are many shoulders outside which let us cry and also satisfy our lust. You have a trustworthy shoulder.....I had read in some books that some sorrows of Shruti go away as soon as the smell of mother's body comes. I don't know what that smell or fragrance is like and how that fragrance removes the sorrow of a daughter. Don't ask me the details.



But still I am happy. Yes, it is definitely true that I feel very jealous when I see people like you getting the love of a mother. I immediately leave that place and that is why I did not talk to both of you that day.



I go to my house and ask so many questions to my parents. No one knows about them but no one answers them......My experience and assessment has taught me that do anything but maintain your existence. Maybe that is why I behaved like this with you. Please forgive me if possible.



Now a total of 6 eyes were crying in the room.



Finally Matashri broke the silence, "Son, after knowing about you, our crying is absolutely useless. You are right. I am great, I know how much a single woman has to bear to live and you have seen this since childhood



“I had no complaints with you before and I don’t have any now either” Shrushti also expressed her opinion



Sakshi “Well, I told you that my story is not interesting” she did not believe it



Maybe I said something wrong or my language was indecent but this is what I have learnt and this is what I have taught, if I were a mother then maybe I would also have been like you people…..decent…..crying



Matashree “Daughter, can I say something?? If you don’t mind?



Auntyji you have no right to ask, you just have to say whether you like it or not



“Can I go from Auntyji to Matashri for you???”



Sakshi kept looking stunned



Shrushti: Now answer quickly or else I will give it and tell Maa that you gave me a sister



Sakshi could not say anything, she just put her head on Maa's shoulder and started crying loudly



And 4 eyes and 2 hearts also started supporting her



Maa: Cry as much as you can son and was caressing Sakshi's back



After a long time Sakshi was able to control herself



Aunty ji I am thankful to you



She could only say that much when a light slap fell on her cheek and that was from Maa's hand



"After today if the word aunty came out of your mouth for me then it is just a light slap now and then you will get beaten with a broom, don't forget that I will keep tolerating you" saying this she hugged her and whispered in her ear, Maa say



"Maa" !!!!!!!!!! Forgive me ............Sakshi could not stop herself and started crying again



Will I meet my sister??? Or will you meet a friend or a colleague????



I will meet my sister here, I will meet my friend in private when my mother is not there, and I will meet my colleague in office, tell me, do you want to say anything now!!!!!!!!!!



The atmosphere changed from sad to happy



Oh yes, I was more interested in your love story, but my mother also came in between, really” saying this she winked at Sakshi and moving a finger on her stomach



“Look, now I have my mother, which means all that is not there” Sakshi replied with a wink, being shy of her mother



Oh, so what if I have my mother, tell me it is better than keeping it to yourself and mother also becomes a friend when the daughter gets up and sits, okay, let me make some tea, saying this you left both the sisters alone, thought it better



How do I know?? Hee hee hee



Come on, start Shruti winked again



Sakshi...my love story is not typical like yours, it is very simple. As you know, Shivam and I have been working in Tiwari Construction Group for a long time. Ever since Shivam and I started working on the same project, Shivam started liking me but I did not pay much attention to him because I had some other obsession going on in my mind. Now you should not start asking about that obsession, it is better. (Shruti nodded yes, then Sakshi started telling further) As time passed, he kept falling in love with me. Whatever I asked him to do, whether right or wrong, he used to do it himself and also convinced other colleagues to do the same.



Everyone knew the reason, but Shivam did not have the courage to propose me, somewhere he was afraid that if I got offended and told Raghav sir and got him fired from the job, then he would go away from me. On repeated requests from other colleagues, he started to gain courage and when I returned after a week's leave, he had changed a lot. He wanted to say something to me but was unable to do so due to his shyness.



When Sir told him to take us all for lunch, Shivam thought of waiting for an opportunity and made a plan to talk to me at lunch. You came because of aunty and because of your coming, Raghav Sir did not want to go for lunch.



"Did Sir not want to go for lunch only because of me?" Shrishti said in surprise.



Sakshi...yes because the plan to go to the lunch was made only because of you so that Sir could talk to you and I was the one who asked him to make a plan to go for lunch because you were not agreeing to go anywhere alone with Sir.



Shrishti...means you knew everything and I thought that you used to make guesses after seeing my actions which were correct.



Sakshi...go away you silly girl, I used to say all this deliberately. I came to know that day when I came back after the holidays to resign. You came saying that you will make me the project head but later Sir told me what he has in his mind for you. Do you know how rightly Sir was saying "Shrishti is only mine."



"Shrishti is only mine." Hearing this, Shrishti smiled and then said... how much I am his, you will get to know later, now you tell me your story.



Sakshi... Raghav Sir asked me to take everyone for lunch but I did not feel like going, so I refused. When I told them about my not going, then Shivam hesitatingly told what was in his heart. I already had an idea that he wanted to say something. When I had to go, I asked him for some time and he gave me that too. Meanwhile, I checked his Kundali and started spending some time with him on holidays, then I came to know that Shivam is very good by nature. But now after knowing about the dual personality of your father and maternal grandparents, I feel I will have to spend more time with Shivam. Only then will we know whether Shivam has also donned the mask of dual personality or not. Also, we will have to find out how his family members are.



To be continued...

 

[Funlover]

Friends, to tell you the truth, while writing this above episode, my eyes also became moist, maybe my eyes shed some tears too.



Because while writing, Sakshi's character had probably got into me.



I don't know what you felt while reading that episode, but just think about those girls in orphanages once..........this is my request............... I have kept this episode very short because going into it in depth might make you cry a lot.

Part - 31



After knowing Sakshi's love story, Shrishti said... Friend, I am myself confused, I can hardly help you in this matter.



Sakshi...don't worry, I know the art of testing boys very well. I will see how to test Shivam, but before that you have to think about how to unite you and Raghav Sir.



Shrishti...don't think anything like that and keep the things that I have told you to yourself.



Sakshi...trust me, I may be selfish but I am a man of my word. Whatever happens, if you have given me a promise, then I will definitely keep it.



Okay, now I am leaving, let me just ask about my Majnu.



Shrishti...okay, go.



After this, Sakshi left and Shrishti remained lost in some thought for some time and then went to rest.



The next day, as soon as he reached office, Raghav was impatient to know what happened between Sakshi and Shrishti yesterday. But he was not getting a chance. He was busy in holding meetings one after the other. He was also finishing some important work. When he got time, he called Sakshi. As soon as Sakshi came, Raghav said... Sakshi, tell me quickly what did you talk to Shrishti yesterday.



Sakshi... Sir, we talked a lot and I have come to know the reason for her indifference. Along with this, I came to know one special thing that she also loves you a lot. Every time she behaved indifference towards you, she has suffered more from you.



Raghav... I had understood this. Now you tell me the reason due to which Shrishti is behaving indifference towards me.



Sakshi... Sorry sir, I cannot tell that reason because she has given me the excuse of friendship.



Raghav...what is this problem now? I thought that after knowing the reason of Shrishti's indifference, I will find a way to remove her indifference, but now how can I find a way.



Sakshi...I will tell you the way but I cannot tell you the reason of her indifference. I am helpless.



Raghav...then tell me, will you tell me only after getting the Muhurta (date) fixed?



Sakshi...I will tell you but you give me a promise that whenever I need your help, you will help me.



Raghav...for telling me a way, you are taking a promise from me to help me. It means that you are going to ask for help in some big work.



Sakshi...Sir, I may need your help in a matter in future. I am taking a promise from you so that you do not back out.



Raghav...I will back out, it means that you are going to make me do something that I may not like or Shrishti...



"Sir, don't be afraid, whatever help I take from you, Shrishti will be informed about it. Only when she says yes, I will take help from you, but before that I will try not to need your help." Sakshi said, clearing Raghav's doubts.



Raghav... If that's the case, then let's give the promise, now you tell me the way quickly.



Sakshi... Sir, you take Shrishti along saying that you are going to meet a client and tell her what you want. If you want, you can take her along saying that you are going to meet the client of the project we are working on right now, but don't tell her in advance, tell her at the time when you have to go. She will not be able to refuse.



Raghav... You are absolutely right, it will be better to do this. I will take her tomorrow itself on some pretext because tomorrow evening I have to go out for 10-15 days for some work.



Sakshi... If you listen to me, it will be better if you propose after coming back from there. If she doesn't see you for 10-15 days, Shrishti will be in agony and when you propose, she won't be able to refuse.



Raghav... not at all, I will be in agony more than that, if you propose, even if she is not in front of me, I will be able to see her on the phone and if I don't do it, I will neither get the chance to see her nor will she talk to me.



Sakshi... oh, okay, do what you think is right. Well, I am leaving now.

Change in scene



It was evening tea time. Chandresh Tiwari was sipping tea while sitting in the dining hall. Just then the doorbell rang to signal someone's arrival.



Tiwari... Ramesh see who has come.



Ramesh went and opened the door and seeing the person standing in front said... Chhote maalik aap



Tiwari... Ramesh who has come.



Ramesh... Sir Chhote maalik has come.



After saying this Ramesh moved aside or should I say Armaan pushed him aside and stormed inside and then said "Maa maa kaha hai".



Tiwari... your mother is in her room. Standing here and shouting will not do anything, if you want to meet her then you will have to go to her room yourself.



Armaan without saying anything went to Barkha's room. After talking for a while he asked Barkha to come out of the room but Barkha refused. Then Armaan said... why don't you go



"She will not come because she has been warned that as long as I or Raghav are in the house she will remain confined in her room." This voice was of Tiwari who was sipping tea sitting at a little distance from the door of the room.



Armaan... Tell me a warning. Mother, you go out, I will see who does what. This old man has gone crazy in old age.



"You are right, the old man has gone crazy in old age and is doing what he should have done years ago. You also listen carefully, I have the ownership rights of this house, so whatever I say will happen in this house. If you want to roam freely in this house, then you will have to do what I say. If you don't want to obey me, then find a place somewhere else." Tiwari said his words almost screaming.



Armaan's tongue was itching to answer Tiwari's words. But he could not say anything because Barkha had signaled him to keep quiet by putting a finger on his lips. Seeing this, Tiwari said... Barkha, today for the first time you have done a good thing by stopping your son from speaking. Keep doing such good work in future also, this will maintain peace in this house and the luxurious life of both of you mother and son will continue smoothly. The day you do not do this work, I will throw both of you mother and son out of this house and will also evict you from the property.



On hearing Tiwari's harsh words, both mother and son got scared. Both of them closed the door of the room without saying anything, then on Armaan asking, Barkha told that why Tiwari changed his attitude. Knowing this, Armaan and Barkha started planning how to get out of this situation.



It was time for dinner. Food was being served for Tiwari and Raghav, at that time Armaan came out of his room and then said…Ramesh, get my and mother's food served in mother's room.



Tiwari…Ramesh is not free right now, he is serving food for both of us father and son. If you are in a hurry, then take it yourself.



Raghav…how are you brother and when did you come?



Arman…see how I am. I have been treated like a stranger since I came in the evening.



Tiwari…what you did is coming back to you son. You both have been treating Raghav like this. When you are feeling so bad in such a short time, then just think how bad Raghav must have felt? When you both are treating him like a stranger and you both have been doing this for years.



Arman left from there without saying anything after seeing Tiwari's attitude and telling the truth. As soon as he left, Tiwari asked Ramesh to get Barkha and Arman's food served in their room.

Both father and son were having their meals. They were talking about office. Then Raghav said... Papa, tomorrow evening I have to go out for some work for 10-15 days. You can come to office whenever you get a chance for these many days.



Tiwari said yes, then after finishing the meal Raghav went to his room and Tiwari remained sitting there. After some time Armaan was going to his room after having his meal when Tiwari called him. As soon as Armaan came Tiwari said...Armaan when do you have to go back to Jaipur.



Armaan... I have come today only. I will leave after a few days.



Tiwari... Okay, tomorrow evening Raghav is going out for some work, till he comes you will go to office daily.



Armaan... I have to look after the work in Jaipur and then go to office also, I will not be able to do so much work.



Tiwari... Why will I not be able to do it? I have seen Raghav, he does not get time to think about himself, he is busy in work day and night.



Arman... He doesn't think of anything except work. I can't do as much work as he does.



Tiwari... So Raghav will work hard day and night to increase the property and you will sit idle and get an equal share? If you want an equal share in the property, you will have to work as much as Raghav. If you can't do that, then forget about an equal share in the property, you may not even get what you are getting.



Arman... I mean you...



"Yes, I will share the property equally but only when you work as responsibly as Raghav does." Tiwari said completing Arman's words.



"Okay", saying this with a sad heart, Arman left and after that Tiwari also went to his room.

 

[Funlover]

Change in scene



After coming to office in the morning, Raghav called Shrishti after completing some important work. Shrishti reluctantly left to go to Raghav when she was shocked to see someone and said to herself... why is this scoundrel here? What did he come to do? I have never seen him before.



That person also saw Shrishti. He was shocked to see her and then smiled a mean smile and said... oh madam you work here, it's good that I don't have to work hard to find you.



After saying this, that person smiled with his hand on his cheek and went away smiling and Shrishti got worried lines on her forehead. With those lines, Shrishti reached Raghav. As soon as his eyes met Shrishti's, seeing the worried lines on her forehead, Raghav said... Shrishti what happened, why do you look so worried.



"Nothing sir, I am just worried that why did you call me suddenly like this." Without telling the main reason, he told another reason which was not a matter of concern for her.



Raghav...okay, let me tell you the reason for calling. The client of the project you are working on has called you to meet him right now and it is important for you to go.



"What?" said Shrishti in surprise.



Raghav...yes, let's go now.



After saying this, Raghav left for outside and Shrishti was walking slowly with a heavy heart as if her legs were unable to bear the weight of her body.



In a short while, both of them were in Raghav's car. However, Shrishti did not want to go with Raghav in his car and she had no reason to give for this, so she reluctantly sat in the car.



All the way, Shrishti sat on the front seat and kept looking outside from the window. Raghav would sometimes look back at Shrishti and then smile and concentrate on driving the car.



When the car stopped in front of the famous restaurant of the city, Shrishti looked at Raghav in surprise as if asking why did you bring us here, we had to go to meet the client.



Seeing Shrishti shocked, Raghav himself said… Shrishti why are you so shocked, the client had called us to meet here.



Both of them went inside the restaurant together, then pointing in one direction, he went and sat in a personal cabin with Shrishti, then giving the menu card to Shrishti, Raghav said… Shrishti, whatever you like, order for yourself and for me too.



After looking at the menu card for some time, he placed the order, then Shrishti said… Sir, for what purpose have you brought me here? Can I know?



Raghav… why don't you know? We have come here to meet the client.



Shrishti… the client has not come yet. So can you ask him? How long is he coming?



Raghav…I will ask her first, can you answer one of my questions that what is your problem in sitting with me for some time?



Shrishti did not have an answer to this question, so what answer would she have given. She just looked at Raghav for two moments, then lowered her eyes and Raghav said…by your lowering your eyes, I have understood that you do not have any answer to my question. Even if you have, you do not want to give it, maybe I am very much in your eyes or should I say too much, that is why you have been ignoring me for a long time. Whenever I come to spend some time with you, you go somewhere else with an excuse. Am I right?



On hearing this, Shrishti looked at Raghav for some time, then turned her face to the other side and closed her eyes. Looking at the other side, Shrishti said... You are right, I think I have gone too far in your eyes, that is why I was avoiding your company and even today I did not want to come, but I am helpless, maybe if I had not come with you, you would have fired me from the job and said that I am not responsible in my work.



Shrishti said so many things, but during the talk, her cheeks were full and her eyes betrayed her.



Raghav understood what Shrishti was going through while saying her things. So he smiled, then as soon as Shrishti stopped, Raghav said... Hey, you are speaking the truth. When you are speaking the truth to my face, then why turn your eyes away, you can say the same things by looking into my eyes.



At this time, Shrishti's condition was such that she could have burst into tears, but she did not want to show herself weak in front of Raghav, so she was somehow controlling herself. Raghav must have also understood this, so he kept quiet and did not say anything further.



After some time their order came but still Shrishti did not look at Raghav then Raghav said... Shrishti eat something maybe by then the client will come.



If Shrishti had turned towards Raghav then Raghav would have understood by just looking at her that all the things she had said were hurting Shrishti too. So without looking at Raghav she stood up and started washing her face with her hands in the washbasin in the cabin. Seeing this Raghav said... Hey Shrishti what are you doing, why did you wash your face. This has washed off all your makeup.



Shrishti immediately turned and looked at Raghav as if asking him to look and tell me how much makeup I have done. Raghav said smilingly... Sorry sorry Shrishti I forgot you are a natural beauty you do not need to do makeup.



Hearing this, a smile automatically appeared on Shrishti's lips, then after washing her face and hands, Shrishti came and started eating what she had ordered. Seeing her eating like a selfish person without asking, Raghav said... Shrishti is very selfish, she did not think it necessary to ask even once.



Sorry Sir, after saying this she lowered her eyes and Raghav said... You don't need to be embarrassed, I just said it like that.



Shrishti did not reply to Raghav's words, she just kept busy eating quietly. Seeing this Raghav also got busy eating. In some time they finished their food and then Shrishti said... Sir it has been a long time since we came here, still your client has not come. Ask once and see where he is.



Raghav... Look Shrishti no client is coming here. I had to talk to you, that's why I lied and brought you here. Sorry sorry sorry for lying to you.



To be continued...

Part - 33



As soon as Raghav revealed that no client was coming to meet him, he lied and brought Shrishti to the restaurant. It didn't take long for Shrishti to understand what Raghav had come here to tell her. For which Shrishti had been avoiding it for so long. Not only this, she was also ignoring Raghav. But even after doing so much, the time had finally come when Raghav was going to express his love.



Shrishti wanted to understand this and dance in joy but there were some things that had taken hold of Shrishti's mind. At this time, whatever she knew about the incident that happened with her mother, everything was going around in Shrishti's mind.



Things about the future, which Shrishti had predicted, what would happen if Raghav's family members were conservative like her maternal grandparents, if not, then they might say something wrong about her mother and reject her.



All these things had started a war inside her. She was arguing with herself. Her heart was testifying that Raghav cannot be like her father. But when the topic of Raghav's family and the stigma on her mother came up, Shrishti decided to reject Raghav's love, even though she didn't want to. Then Shrishti said... Sir, there are so many things to do in the office, leaving that aside, this is all you can think of. You lied and brought an employee working in your own office to the restaurant, you should have been ashamed of doing this.



Raghav... employee, who is the employee and who is the owner here? Okay, I agree with what you say, you are an employee, but is this the truth? You know that you are more than an employee for me.



"You are more than an employee", Shrishti's heart was telling her to jump up on hearing this, but Shrishti was not able to do so even if she wanted to. She was fighting a strange dilemma. When she could not win this battle, she turned her face and closed her eyes.



Raghav understood very well that Shrishti was fighting a battle with herself but he could not understand why. Today he had made up his mind that no matter what happens, he will not let this opportunity go and will convey his message to Shrishti. That is why Raghav said… Shrishti, I do not know what is the reason for which you were behaving so rudely with me. But I know this much that by being rude with me, you were in more pain than me. Which proves that you also love me as much as I love you.



After saying this, Raghav became silent and the irony of Shrishti was that Raghav knows how much pain she herself has gone through to hurt Raghav, even after knowing this she is not able to celebrate. She is not able to hug Raghav while chirping. With her face turned away, she closed her eyes and tried to stop the tears that had started to rebel.



Raghav was able to see and read Shrishti's body language very well. He understood that Shrishti was suppressing her emotions, so Raghav said... Shrishti, when someone comes to know that the person he is hurting, she herself is in more pain than the other person and the other person knows this and is unable to control herself. Either she jumps with joy or he hugs her and expresses his emotions. But looking at you, it seems that you are suppressing your emotions. Maybe you did not get that much happiness from my words, but after hearing what I am going to say now, you will not be able to control your emotions.



After saying this, Raghav became silent and started looking at Shrishti with a slow smile. There, Shrishti's heart started beating fast, Dhak Dhak, Dhak Dhak. There was silence for a few moments, only the beating of two hearts could be heard. Breaking the silence, Raghav said... Shrishti, it is not possible to tell in numbers how much I love you, yet there are three words that all lovers want to hear from each other. I also say those three words to you. Shrishti, I love you, I love you...



After repeating "I love you" a few times, Raghav became silent. Once again there was complete silence, except for the sound of breathing and the beating of the heart with the breath, hardly anything else could be heard. Shrishti did not say anything, but Raghav broke the silence and said... Shrishti, what happened, give me an answer, I know what your answer will be, still I want to hear it from you.



There was silence again for a few moments, then breaking the silence, Shrishti said... I do not love you.



Shrishti's tongue was faltering in speaking a few selected words. As if his tongue wanted to say something else but Shrishti was forcing him to say something else. Understanding this, Raghav said... Shrishti, your tongue is not supporting what you are saying. Your mind is telling you to say something else but you are saying something else. It means there is some reason due to which you are suppressing your emotions (then moving his handkerchief towards Shrishti, Raghav said further) Shrishti, wipe your tears which you have been shedding for a long time. Your flowing tears have given me the answer, still I want to hear it from you. For which I will wait as much as I want, just know this much, there is no place for any other girl in my life except you.



Even after turning her face away, Raghav understood that Shrishti was shedding tears. Also, on hearing that she was waiting for his reply, Shrishti got up in a flash. Then after washing her face in the washbasin and wiping it with her handkerchief, Shrishti said... Sir, you don't need to wait for my reply because in this birth, I am not going to accept your proposal. So, it would be better if you find someone else. If I am talking about refusing you, then that reason is your immense wealth which may become a wall between you and me in future. So, it would be better to take care of it beforehand.



While saying all this, Shrishti spoke with full confidence and by looking into Raghav's eyes, which forced Raghav to think that Shrishti, who was shedding tears till now, how did she change so much suddenly after washing her face with water.!!! Seeing Raghav lost in thoughts, Shrishti said... don't think too much because you can't leave your wealth and I can't accept a man with so much wealth, so let's stop thinking and go to the office.



After saying this, Shrishti went out but after walking a few steps, she used her handkerchief once again to wipe her face and then went out. Raghav also followed her and then both of them reached the office without saying a word. Shrishti said as soon as she got down from the car... Sir, can I get leave for the remaining time today? What is it that your words have made my head heavy and my head is hurting so much that I won't be able to work.



Raghav said yes, then Shrishti went home from there on her scooty and Raghav was sitting in the car and was reviewing every single thing that happened in the restaurant and was thinking how there was such a change in Shrishti that she looked into his eyes with full confidence and said everything. While thinking, suddenly Raghav smiled and said... Shrishti, I have understood why you said those things with so much confidence at that time. Just wait for a few days, I will clear all the doubts in your mind.



After sitting for some more time, Raghav went inside the office, then after doing some work, he went home from where he got ready and left for the airport.

Part - 34



Around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Matashri returned home from college. The main door of the house was open and Shrishti's scooty was parked in the courtyard. Seeing this, she understood that Shrishti had come home but a question arose in her mind that how did Shrishti come home so early today. Is she unwell?



As soon as this question arose, Matashri immediately entered the house. Not finding Shrishti in the drawing room, she went towards Shrishti's room calling out.



The door of the room was open. As soon as she went inside, she saw Shrishti lying on her back. Immediately Matashri went to her and sitting on the bed, placing her hand on Shrishti's back said... Shrishti beta, what happened, how did you come so early today?



On hearing her mother's voice, Shrishti immediately sat up and started wiping her eyes. In a moment, Matashri understood that Shrishti was very hurt by something and while compensating for it, she gave a lot of pain to her tender eyes.



"Shrishti beta, what happened? Why did you cry so much that your eyes and face are swollen."



Shrishti... Maa, what I was afraid of has happened today, which I had been avoiding for so long. Today Sir expressed his love and I could not accept his love even though I wanted to.



After saying this, Shrishti burst into tears again and hugged her mother. Mother said while caressing her head... When you love him so much. You cannot stay away from him, then why did you refuse?



Shrishti had the answer to this question of her mother but she could not give it and Mother was well aware that why Shrishti refused Raghav despite loving him so much. That is why she said to herself... Shrishti beta, sometimes we make mistakes in understanding people. You and I made the same mistake regarding your head. My mistake was broken the day my leg was fractured and in the evening your Sakshi ma'am came to our house. That day Sakshi daughter told me some things which made me understand that your sir is not a double character like your father and maternal grandparents.



Shrishti immediately separated from her mother and said while wiping her eyes... I was with both of you that day, then when did you tell me, are you lying?



"No, why should I lie, I had said it that day when you had gone to make tea. I cannot tell you what he had said because Sakshi daughter had forbidden me to tell you those things. If you want to know, then ask Sakshi daughter."



Shrishti... I will ask that you bloody mother... then mother put a hand on her mouth and said no abuses. Know that she is your sister now



Sorry Maa, Maa I had come to know that Sir is not a person of double character but what if his family members are like this and if not then what if they come to know about you and accuse you and reject me? I can bear everything but I cannot bear someone to accuse you, only for this reason I refused Sir.



On hearing her daughter's words, Mata Shri's eyelids became heavy and she closed her eyes, then hugging Shrishti to herself, Mata Shri said... Shrishti today your words forced me to think this and what Sakshi also said that when you were in my womb, I must have eaten something different due to which you were born with such thoughts. Where lovers think only of their own happiness as soon as they fall in love, you are sacrificing your love only so that your mother is not slandered. You do not need to sacrifice your love, you can call right now and say yes to your Sir.



Shrishti... I will not do this at all. I will bear the separation but I will not be able to bear the stigma on you.



"Hey crazy girl, trust your mother at least this much that your mother will not be stigmatized because of you."



Shrishti... What do you mean?



"Just know this much, it is better to know some things when the time comes."



Shrishti... Means you know about sir's family. Tell me mother, what do you know about his family.?



"What and how I know, it is not necessary for you to know right now. When the time comes, I will tell you, do what is necessary right now, call your sir and say yes."



Don't kill your love, daughter



On hearing her mother say "yes", Shrishti's face lit up and she immediately picked up the phone, then after thinking something, she smiled and put the phone back.



"What happened, why did you hang up?"



Shrishti…tomorrow I will go to the office and ask him out on a date, then I will accept his proposal right there and will also apologize for some things that I said to him today.



"First of all, you did not accept the proposal. On top of that, you said something. Tell me what did you say? For which you have to apologize."



Shrishti…these things are between him and me, which I am not going to tell anyone.



Matashree did not even insist to know, just tried to understand it with her experienced eyes. She understood by looking at Shrishti. Things are very big. Due to which a little sadness and regret were visible in her happiness.



Now the peacocks in her heart started dancing again

 

[Funlover]

The next day when Shrishti reached the office, her face was beaming. Shrishti was feeling happy deep inside.



Seeing this, Sakshi understood what could be the reason for this, yet she kept asking Shrishti again and again and Shrishti kept postponing it by saying that she will tell later.



Slowly time passed but Shrishti did not see Raghav yet. Then she went to meet Raghav. She was shocked to see someone else sitting in place of Raghav and came back without saying anything. When she came back and asked Sakshi, Sakshi told her that Raghav has gone out for a few days.



Shrishti was feeling sorry to know that Raghav was not there. So she took out her mobile and sent a message to Raghav and then started doing her work.



Only some time had passed when the voice of "I have heard that someone new has joined who is being talked about a lot" echoed there.



Seeing the person speaking, Shrishti was shocked again and everyone including Sakshi started talking formally after seeing him but during the conversation, that person was smiling at Shrishti with a mean smile and was wetting his dry lips by moving his tongue on his lips.



Seeing this, Shrishti's expression changed from where she was chirping with happiness, in a moment her happiness turned into anger and she was standing with her fists clenched tightly.



That person decided to take a few steps and went near Shrishti and looking at her from head to toe said... You are looking like a very blooming flower, by the way can you tell which bee sucked the juice and turned the bud into a flower.



Every person present there understood the meaning of these words and Shrishti's anger touched the sky. Clenching both her fists tightly, she said while gritting her teeth... Arman sir, learn to talk politely, it will be very useful for you. Especially to a girl, before saying anything about her, you should get information. There is Raghav sir who behaves so politely with everyone and then there is you who is very averse to manners.



Armaan... Raghav is my brother but not my real brother, he is a step brother, so I have nothing to do with him and it is better if you don't talk about manners. Did you forget about the mall?



Shrishti... I haven't forgotten, you were the one who was rude there too, that's why...



"Armaan, Raghav sir is not here, it doesn't mean that you will be rude to anyone." Sakshi said, interrupting Shrishti's words.



"Are you my friend or Raghav's flatterer? Did you forget, it was because of me that you got the job here." Armaan said, moving towards Sakshi.



Sakshi... yes, it is true that I got the job because of you. But I am here only because of my talent, now should you leave from here or should I call Raghav or Tiwari sir.



As soon as Tiwari's name came up, Armaan left from there but while leaving he told Shrishti... I will take revenge from you for what you did in the mall. You insulted me in a huge crowd, now see what I do to you.
