Love Story Part:13

Day3:

‘Where are you going?’Gautham asked.

‘Theatre.’

‘With whom you are going?’

‘Alone.’

‘Do you know the time? It’s already 9. Go tomorrow morning with your friends.’

‘No, I am going now. Tomorrow I have to go office.’

‘Then go in weekend.’ His tone was serious. I didn’t listen to him. I took my hand bag and went near door.

‘Wait, I too will come.’ He said and went to his room. My plan got success. We went to movie together after 4 years. He slept in half of the movie itself. I too stopped to watch movie and started to see him. After movie got over, we started to home. I was so tired and leaned on the car’s window.

‘Who asked you to go for a movie?’ He asked as if he knows all my plans.

‘I want to watch movie, nothing else.’ I avoided his gaze.

‘Be yourself, you are not a girl to get some strangers to home, going for a movie at midnight that too alone and increased one inch of glow in your face. You are acting differently. Has anyone said anything to you? ’

I was dumb struck when he told all these. He knows about me very well.

‘No, that day I had lot of work to do, so only I asked him to come home. ’

‘Do you want me to believe this? I know someone told you something. So only, I didn’t get angry on that day otherwise I would not have allowed him to enter. ’

Not allowed? So he didn’t change? Thank God, he didn’t do anything.

He continued, ‘I don’t know why you are doing this but it doesn’t suit you. If you have any other plans just drop it.’ We reached home by the time he finished this.

I came to my room and sat in my bed. I dropped all the plans. Everyday plan got success but in final result I failed. If this idiot was talking to me normal then, why I should put this plan? If I get Shalini in my hand I will crush her. On that day itself I told to her that this won’t work.

‘Hey why are you sleeping here?’ He asked. I don’t know what to say to him, I remained silent.

‘Come and sleep in my room.’ He said

‘Its ok, I will sleep here.’ I said.

‘I can’t come here often to see whether you are sleeping or blabbering in sleep. Come soon.’ He said and went.

I went and leaned on his bed. I was controlling my tears because I couldn’t tolerate this distance after I found that I am in love with him. I am his wife but I am just acting like that. Why can’t he see love in my eyes? Always I am only going behind him. Its ok, if I need my love, I only have to sacrifice my ego.

‘Gautham’

‘What?’

‘I will ask you three questions, can you answer me at least for one?’

‘Hmm ask.’

‘Why you are not talking with me properly? Do you like me still? Why you didn’t contact me in those 3 years?’ I finished. He didn’t reply for any. He turned and saw my eyes.

‘You also didn’t contact me in those days.’ He said.

I turned back and cried without making any sound. He is still thinking about that only. Can’t he forgive me? Am I not that much worth to get his love?

‘Harini.’

‘Hmmmm’

‘Are you going to Delhi?’

‘Yes.’ I said it without thinking about anything.
Four days I didn’t talk with him. If he started to talk also I will go to my room and pretend like I am busy. Before he woke up I will go to office in morning and evening also I spent in office or in Shalini’s home. I would come late night and sleep in hall itself. He scolded me and asked me to come home soon but I didn’t listen anything.
My PM informed me that I have to be in Delhi within one week. I informed Gautham, but he didn’t talk a word also about that. But before I go to Delhi I want to meet my friends, especially Gita.
Gautham was also not having any contact with her. I tried to her land line number but no one picked up the call. I was afraid to meet her. Whatever the problem was, I should have talked with her. I didn’t reply for her mails also. I went to her home to see her, but it was locked. I asked about her to her neighbors, they gave one mobile number and I dialed it. Yeah it was Gita.

‘Hello’ she answered.

‘Hi Gita, this is Harini.’

‘Harini, hey how are you? Where are you now?’ She was so excited.

‘Ya I am fine, I am in Chennai only. What about you? I came to your home but you are not here.’

‘We came to my native for my cousin marriage. I will be in Chennai day after tomorrow. Are you coming for alumni meeting?’

‘No Gita, I am not interested.’

‘Don’t say anything, already our friends are angry on you. You are coming that’s all. We will meet there. Have to talk about lot of things. I have some work here, will catch you later. Bye dear.’

‘Bye Gita.’

I was happy that I am going to meet my friends but how they will react if they know I married Gautham? They even don’t know that I got married. How I am going to face them.

Sunday… Alumni meeting… From morning I was so nervous to meet everyone. I wore pink color saree which I was wearing on national level conference. Meeting was between 6PM to 9PM. Gautham got ready as usual before me. He was so silent and nervous too. May be it’s because of me. I could say from his behavior that he was feeling so uncomfortable with me.

I sat in car, his eyes were focused on road but his thoughts were somewhere. This is the last time I am going in car with him, Tuesday I am going to Delhi. This time also I am going away from him without sharing my love. My love, life and everything is with him. But the only thing I am taking from him is the word, Mrs.Gautham. One year I lived with him and three years with his thoughts. This is enough for me.

We reached College. He went to park the car. I called to Gita, she already came and asked me to come to auditorium. I informed to Gautham in text. I walked in to college, the place where I got my Gautham, each place reminded me about him, the canteen where we shared our food, the class room benches where we sat together to study but end in lovely chat, basket ball ground where he gave bracelet and the first time I leaned on his shoulder and held his hand, corridor, the place where he used to wait for me and I finally I entered in to auditorium the place where I met him. My destiny.

I saw Gita, she waved her hands. She changed so much became somewhat fat, all my class friends were sitting with her. She came and hugged me. I was so happy.

‘You got married?’ She was excited. I nodded my head.

‘What you did in these 4 years?’ I asked.

‘I didn’t have any contact with our college friends after you went. I did MBA in Bangalore and was there till last month. I tried to contact you many times. But you forgot me, you didn’t call me after you reached Mysore. For Gautham’s mistake, you punished us. I think that idiot will come here.’

‘Don’t call him as idiot.’

‘Are you still crazy about him? Because of him only you are like this, don’t forget that’

‘You didn’t ask anyone about me and Gautham?’

‘All asked to me only about you, even Gautham asked about you. Why should I ask about Gautham?’

‘Gautham asked about me? What and when he asked’ I was excited.

‘Harini you didn’t change till now. Change the topic. When you got married? Is your husband here?’

‘Please Gita, answer me.’

‘Ok, He contacted me after you are gone, I scolded him and disconnected the call. But after some days he started to call me often, so I said that you got engaged with someone and told him not to disturb you.’

‘Gita, you ruined everything.’

‘What you are saying? I helped you, because of him only you had so much trouble, you even forgot about us.’

‘The mistake is mine Gita, I loved him, I should have said to him about my friendship with Sanjay. Any guy will get angry, if you hide this and I understand that. You know what Gita, He is my husband. I married him only, I love him and now I need to ask sorry and express my love at least now.’

‘What you are saying? You married him Harini?’

‘It’s a big story, I will say later, now I need to see Gautham.’ I said and came from that place. I called Gautham but he didn’t pick up. I searched for him everywhere. But no sign of him. I was standing near his car. I did the entire mistake. I shouldn’t have talked with Sanjay. When I saw him with a gal in car I got angry, how he would have tolerated this. His anger was meaningful. He thought that I got engaged so only he didn’t contact me also. Tears were fully filled in my eyes.

My mobile gave sound. I got text from him.

‘Where are you?’ He texted.

‘In car parking area. Where are you? I want to talk to you.’ I replied back.

‘Come to basket ball ground. ’ He texted back.
