Journey of Mr and Mrs. Sabharwal

Chapter 11

Next morning Shaurya wakes up determined to mend his relation with Anokhi. He goes down and takes blessing from his mother.

Aastha: do you have some important meeting that you are taking my blessings.

Shaurya: I have to go for some important work thats why.

Nimi: bhaiya I am extremely sorry for yesterday because I was very rude with you but whatever I said is true.

Shaurya: I will respond to this once I am back Nimisha. And leaves.

In the office Shaurya is attending a meeting. After it finishes he thinks to call Anokhi but then he remembers how she had hung up on him the other day when maa forced them to talk.

Shaurya’s Conscience: you have done the same with her. You have ignored her royally in this one year. Do you realise now how she would have felt. And vanishes.

Shaurya thinks should he call her not. But then realises she doesn't want to see his face and asks himself had he tortured her to this extent. But then still goes ahead and calls her.

On the other hand Anokhi and Divya are talking and Divya starts tickling her.

Anokhi: please yaar Divya don't do this. You know I can't control laughing then.

She is shouting at Divya and pleading her to stop while continuously laughing. In between, her phone starts ringing and it's Shaurya but she couldn't see it and since they were tickling each other the phone was recieved by mistake.

Shaurya:  hello

On the other side Anokhi is now crying after Divya tickled her continuously. But Shaurya thought she was shouting.

Shaurya: Anokhi are you fine? Please answer me dammit.

And Anokhi falls on bed and phone falls from her hand. And it's switched off. This panics Shaurya more and he heads to his sasuraal. Throughout the drive he is sweating and praying nothing bad should happen. He enters Bhalla house.

Shagun: arrre Shaurya beta, come sit.

He doesn't respond to her and runs to look for Anokhi. As he is moving he hears laughter from a room and barges into the room. He sees Anokhi is holding Divya and tickling her. He heaves a sigh of relief.

Divya: di please stop. I promise i will never tickle you after this.

They hear the door opening and both are shocked to see Shaurya standing. Anokhi notices tears in his eyes. Divya senses something is not right and she gets up and leaves the room. The moment Divya leaves Shaurya heads towards Anokhi and hugs her tight as though if he would leave her he will die. Anokhi is shocked and rooted to her spot. After some time she senses something is seriously wrong because the rock solid Shaurya Sabharwal had tears in his eyes. She gets worried and holds him and shakes him.

Anokhi: whats wrong? Is mom fine? Aarti? Is their something wrong? Why aren't you replying? I am getting worried.

Shaurya(putting a finger on her lips): shut up, just shut up. Are you out of your mind? Who behaves like this? I was dead afraid.

Anokhi(touching his forehead): do you have fever? What did I do do? Why are you lecturing me like this? I haven't talked to you since 4 days so what exactly did i do.
