Episode 24
??The plan??
âWhat!â He let out a loud gasp which made Sanyukta jump back with a startle. She gained her composure and cleared her throat.
âIâm pregnant,âshe led her head high with a smile.
âYou got to be kidding me.â
âNo I really wish I was,âshe shrugged and whipped her hair backwards dramatically. âIâm four weeks pregnant Adi and you as a caring husband as you are kindly let me in. Itâs freezing out here,âshe said and carefully walked passed him, squeezing her body in. Careful not to get herself killed.
When she was fully inside,she let out a sigh of relief.
In anger Aditya slammed the door, creating a loud bang sound that would have made another cringe in. Sanyukta did but didnât show it on her face. It was more in the inside.
âYou âŠ..do you think life is a joke!â He grasped her forearms and made her face him. âDo you take me as a joke! Someone you can just use and throw away anytime you want! Listen I donât have time for jokes. Just leave from here. Get out!â He dragged her towards the door.
âWhat are you doing?â She pulled her wrist from his hand and sternly faced him. âYou canât kick me out. I am your wife. Lawfully and legal wife.â
He scoffed. âWife? Last time I checked you and I erased every memory we have for each other. Youâre not my wife and you never were and never will be.â
âNo, youâre the one who erases our memories. I didnât. Listen I m only here for my rights. Still if you want the attention of the media and the scandal go ahead and kick me out,âshe grinned. âNow be a caring husband and take care of your pregnant wife,will you.â
âYou disgust me.â
âBut I didnât when you had sex with me.â
âThat was before I knew your real face,âhe sneered at her. âWhat can I say? All the women I have met in my life turn out to be snakes but you are the worst of them all. Youâre the most vicious woman I have ever met in my life. I curse every moment I spent with you. I curse the day I met you even more. You want to stay in this house as my wife, donât you? Fine,feel free,feel at home. This is your house,âhe announced. âWelcome home dear wife. Control everything. But let me tell you something,the day I find out that told me such an expensive lie about you being pregnant that will be the worst day if your life,âhe warned and left her alone in the hallway.

She was in the kitchen nursing her lips when she got a call from her sister.
âIâm so sorry about what happened today Sanyu. Because of me you ended up getting all that beating.â
âItâs fine sister. I can tolerate mom and dadâs anger just to save you from Dev. Moreover,our plans wonât have worked had I been staying in that house. Dev is smart he would have suspected something fishy. Now that I am out of the house, everything will happen according to our plans. Just trust me this time.â
âI trust you Sanyu,âshe said. âBut are you feeling right now?â
âIf having your parents mad at you and your husband upset with you is called being fine then I guess I am really fine,âshe jokes.
âDonât joke like that,âher sister scolded. âIs that how someone jokes? I understand with mom and dad but Aditya shouldnât stay mad at you for a long time,he anyways loves you and you love him. In marriage when a wife is upset with her husband the husband try everything within his power to pacify her so even you do the same. This time the husband is upset, itâs your duty and responsible to pacify him.â
âHe is not barging sister. I guess this time I messed up really bad,âshe poured her lips as she applied a ointment. âYou know he initially didnât want to let me inside the house. Believe me if I hadnât convinced him to let me in,I would have to spend the night in the streets,âshe replied putting on a plaster.
âHow did you convince him?â
She stayed quiet for a while. âI might have lied to him.â
âMeaning?â
âI told him that I am pregnant.â
âOh my goodness! Instead of making things better for the two of you,you made them thrice worse! Sanyu what is wrong with you yah? Do you have any idea what he will do once he finds out that you were lying to him?â
âOf course he will kill me. He wouldnât trust me ever again.â
âSanyu,tell him the truth.â
âI wish I could sister. He doesnât even want to look at my face. Do you ever since I got here he has locked himself in the room. He doesnât want to talk to me. How do I pacify him when he doesnât want to meet me ever.â
âYouâre his wife. Do something you know will make him smile. You know him better than anyone.â
She sighed. âI heard you Sanju.â
âBut you didnât understand me.â
âLook,I got to go. Iâm feeling hungry. I will talk to you tomorrow. I love you Sanju.â
âBut SanyuâŠ..â
She disconnected the call and let out an exasperated sigh staring at her phone wallpaper. It was picture of hers and Aditya,the one they took when they were at the temple.
âHow do I make you smile again? Iâm the reason why youâre angry and I will be reason you will smile again,âshe said to herself and got up from the counter chair and over to the kitchen to prepare something for dinner.

From his study he could smell a nice aroma coming from downstairs. He didnât realize that he was angry til now. He shut his laptop and let the aroma carry him downstairs to the kitchen where he found Sanyukta moving about.
He breath got stuck on his throat,his heart lost it. He was falling. Again.
She was looking so beautiful with that wet curly hair and the blue shirt. And what made her more beautiful was that the shirt was his.
He was lost in her blissfulness that he leant on the doorframe and watched as she did her magic in the kitchen.
She was now chopping the vegetables and her hair kept falling on her face, distracting her. She tried to brush it back with the back of her palm but it didnât barge.
He took it upon himself to help her.
She didnât see him, only felt his presence behind her as he picked a few strands of her hair and tied them into a bow so that her hair is held in place.
Once he was done she turned and looked at him locking their eyes.
He signaled her something with his eyes,she frowned and asked him back using the same gesture.
He rolled his eyes and made her focus on her work, placing his hands on top of hers and guided her on how to slice the vegetables.
Sanyukta smiled and followed his guidance. She was happy that even though he was upset he was helping her. He didnât feel disgusted by her presence this time. He was so close that she felt his breath on her neck, making her skin curl with goosebumps.
âThere you go!â She smiled as she served him the pasta with pesto,gravy and some hot wings.
He picked his fork and started eating.
âHow is it?â
He gave a shrug as an answer.
âErmâŠ.I just want to say thank you for helping me,with everything.â
âI wasnât helping you but myself,âhe answered. âThe reason I helped was because I care about myself so much. I donât want to die of food poisoning, thatâs why I helped. God knows what is it you would have added to the food had I not been here.â
Ouch that hurt more than her fatherâs slaps. She licked her lips and clasped them together.
âSo you donât trust me hmmm?â She let out a pained chuckle.
âTrust? That was broken the day you decided to choose yourself over everything else,âhe replied and stood up from his seat and trailed his feet from the dining.
Tears pricked on her eyes and she immediately wipes them off with a sniffle.
âItâs okay Sanyukta. It will be alright,âshe said to herself looking down at her food. She had lost her appetite.
