Chapter 19

HELLO LOVELY READERS. I HOPE YOU ALL ARE FINE. I KNOW I HAVE TAKEN A LONG BREAK BUT NOW I AM BACK.

SO LET'S START

Isha closed her eyes and lean back to her chair. Two little girls voice echoed in her ears.

"Di look , how this dress look on me " A girl said in her cheerful voice.

"It look beautiful on you . " Another girl replied in her sweet voice.

....

"Di why don't you come and sit with us? " A little girl ask in her sweet voice.

Before the another girl could answer their dad spoke.

"Let her study she have no time for talks. " He said in his cold voice

The another girl didn't said anything and left to her room.

...

"That's so good bacha . You did great in exam. " The girls mother said praising the little girl.

Their father also have a proud smile on his face. Between them the little girl smiling widely.

None of them notice the another girl standing in the side of the living room holding a report card 96 % . She looked at the three of them and left to her room.

...

Slowly slowly the little girl distant from her. She don't talk to her anymore.

Two girl in one picture and the little girl's figure slowly faded away. The smile on the other girl's face disappear by time. Which no one noticed.

She was left alone.

.......

Isha opened her eyes slowly. Her eyes shine with the tears which she wiped away quickly.

"They are not worthy of my tears. " She whisper.

Taking a deep breath she started to do her work again.

...............

In the evening she come back home greeted his mother with smile who returned the greetings. She went in her room change her clothes.

When she come back from bathroom in simple kurti she saw vikram sitting on couch who just come back from office.

He look at her his expression soften.

" Good evening. How was your day? " He asked taking off his coat .

" It was good. How was your day ? " She asked das she sit on other couch.

" Tiring. Long meetings and files "

She smiled. She was hesitant for a moment whether to tell him about nitya or not.

" Nitya come to meet me " She said.

He look at her waiting for her to continue. Though he didn't showed it but if he heard anything about nitya hurting his wife, he won't go easy on them.

" She come to ask for forgiveness. But I refused and told her to not show her face until it's really important. "

She then look at him. " Was I too harsh?"

" Of course not. You did what you felt right. If you don't feel like forgiving don't do it.. " He said .

He forward his hand to hold hers, give her chance to back off if she want. But she didn't she let him hold her hand. His thumb rub gentle circles on her knuckles.

" You don't have to pressurise yourself to forgive them. Just let it be and move on in your life. You can forgive them whenever your heart says . " He said gently eyes locked on her face.

She sighed nodding.

" You are right. I can't be stuck on them."

He smiled. His hand was still holding hers.

" And no matter what you husband is there for you. If they did something I will take care of them. " He said playfully.

She chuckled.

" How? By kidnapping them.? " She asked

" Oh please. I am not a professional kidnapper. And I am soo sorry about what happened before. Please forgive me. Even if you don't want to forgive me I can wait." He said looking at her with the puppy eyes.

She chuckled again.

" Fine fine. I grant you forgiveness. Now stop looking at me like a wounded puppy " She said smiling

" Thank you. Well I need to tell you somethig. My cousin brother is coming today. He will stay here for a week " He said.

" Your cousin ? " She asked

He nodded " Yes my cousin brother is coming to stay here for few weeks . I am informing you "

" Oh. That's good." She said

He nodded " I should get changed now. Its time for dinner " He said as he reluctantly left her hand before standing up and walk in bathroom. He didn't want to make her uncomfortable by holding her hands for too long.

She look at his retreating figure. The warmth of his hands still linger in her hands. She look at her hands with smile. She waited for him to come back so they can go downstairs together.

He come back changed in simple grey t shirt and black sweatpants.

" Let's go. " He said .she stood up as they walk together outside the room.

.........

After eating they come back in their room. She slept on bed while he went to couch.

I don't know but I feel good sharing my thoughts to him. Even if I don't say he somehow understand it. This man once was a stranger now is my husband . He in the start said that if I want to stay in this marriage and give it a chance then I can tell him. I will tell him tomorrow. I can't keep him waiting.

I should give him a chance not because he said but because I want to give him a chance,give our marriage a chance I want to understand him know everything about him .it's not love not yet but first step . For how long I will stay like this burying my emotions.

I sighed. I hope this first chance to love don't left me heartbroken. I never was interested in love or relationship because I wanted to build my career first. Now I have my own company . Things are going well. I should focus on my personal life too now that I am married and have new family, a husband.

I look at his sleeping figure on couch a smile automatically formed on my lips.

" Good night..Husband " I whispered to myself as I closed my eyes

I closed my eyes and slept.

Next morning.

Isha woke up first. She stretch her arms and sit up. She saw he was still asleep. She stood up and walk to him. " He is.. Cute. Right. He is cute when he is asleep. Look at that small pout on his lips "

Isha thought with smile on her lips as she watch his sleeping face and little pouty lips .

She froze the moment he stir. She stand straight not moving an inch. When she look he didn't woke up she left the breath sbe was holding without knowing. "Thank god " She lthought as she ook at him last time before leaving in bathroom .

The moment she left he open his eyes, a sleepy smile on his lips knowing that she was there. He was awake from the start. She slowly sit up looking at bathroom door eyes soft..

She come out of bathroom wearing blue saree. Hair still damp as she dry it with towel. He was still sitting on couch .She look at him their eyes met.

" Morning, you look beautiful in saree " He said with smile as he stood up.

" Morning. " She smile back as she sit at dressing table . He stand behind her chair hands hovering to her damp hair.

" May I? " He asked not touching her hair yet. She nodded . He took the towel and started to dry her hair gently.

" Can I ask you something? " She said. He nodded . " You can ask me anything ." He said still drying her hair.

" You remember telling me that if I want to stay in this marriage and give it a chance I should tell you.? " She said.

His hands stopped as he look at her reflection in mirror " I do remember and I was serious about that. " He said sincerely.

She look at his reflection in mirror, the sincerity in his eyes makes her heart skip a beat. . " I .. I want to give it a chance. " She said.

His eyes widened for a moment before it soften as he come to her side facing her. " Look at me and say it again. You really want to give it a chance.? There is no pressure. You can take your time. " He said making sure she isn't Pressurising herself to take this decision.

She look at him and nodded " I am serious. I want to give it a chance. " She said .

He smiled. " Thank you give me a chance. I will not make you regret it. It's my promise. " He said..

She smiled back. " Now go and get ready. You cousin is coming right. " She said.

He nodded as he left in bathroom.

He close the door of bathroom. There full on wide grin on his lips. "Isha said she wants to give eme a chance, give this marriage a chance. This is the happiest day. I will make sure she never regrets it. I will wait for the day she fully accept me."

He thought to himself as he look at his hands the softness of her hairs stil linger. His smile never dropped if only it widen as he went to take shower .
