His Strange Wife | ✔

*Part 7*

Susheela is standing on the beach silently. The soothing sounds of sea waves is giving quite relaxation along with little happiness. The pure cold breeze is making her front hairs move over her eyes, she is taking them to side with her hand.

She is curiously staring at her husband in front of her, seems like he is thinking. But exactly what?

Susheela tries to move her concentration from Pramod. Who has so much time to be stressed for him? Let him think. She is gladly enjoying the serene whether.

Pramod is slowly moving forward, to the sea. Though Susheela wants not to think about him, she can't control & looks at him again.

Gradually from ankles, water level has reached Pramod's shin. A little more way is there to touch knees.

"I guess she deserves much better than me, I can't waste her precious life like this." Pramod keeps repeating in his mind.

Susheela frowns & keeps thinking,

"Where is he going? He, he is already so far!"

Meanwhile Pramod has gone a lot of path, half of his is now under water which slowly even comes to his shoulders.
Susheela gets tensed & screams,

"DON'T GO MORE, COME BACK! PLEASE!"

Pramod doesn't respond in any way, either he ignored or couldn't listen. Even how will he? He is now almost drowning, while completely going under water.

"PRAMOD Jiiiii!!!" Susheela shouts.

Not many people were there, also they had come to a side where water is deep. Only some people came & kept seeing without doing anything well.

(Writer: I've never visited Goa guys, kindly bear with me & whatever I write, just imagine a beach like this.)

Without getting any better idea, Susheela herself jumps in water & goes near Pramod swimming. She holds his hand & tries to get out but, when destiny has something else planned! It comes too difficult for her to swim in this wavy water surface, though she gets her head out. It gets difficult for her to even move wearing Saree, the folds are getting her badly stuck.

After sometime, people on the beach & some volunteers helped them to get out of water, & laid them on earth.

However, Susheela & Pramod come back to hotel without talking & get bathed.

"Yeah mom, we're fine. It's not feeling good without you mom, missing you a lot!"

Susheela is talking with Minnie sitting in the balcony. Pramod comes to room freshening up and listens to his wife's conversation.

"She can't accept me, and can't live without my family." Pramod thinks smiling.

He gets two cups of coffee in his hands and sits beside Susheela, giving her one.

Meanwhile Susheela finished her talks & kept her phone. After a silence of 2 minutes, Susheela says in a faint voice,

"May I ask something?"

"P. Hmmm."

"S. Were you going to get drowned in the sea yourself?"

"P. Yes."

"S. But why?"

"P. I would of course never want my loved ones' life to get ruined, wasted just because of me; whereas they deserve much better. That's why."

Susheela gets teary eyed for a moment but doesn't drop a tear. She handles herself looking down. After a minute silence,

"May I ask you something?" Pramod asks.

"S. Hmm.."

"P. Why were you trying to save me?"

"S. Of course I'll never let the people get lost in water in front of me whom I love the most. That's why."

Pramod looks at Susheela curiously. Susheela sighs with a smile on her face.

"You know what Pramod ji, sometimes silence can also express a lot of emotions. Even love is included in that. Do you think I can deserve someone better than you, when I already got the best person ever in my life?"

"(Silent). Then, that night, you.."

"S. I simply asked you not to touch me. Because first I wanted to build up the connection of hearts! Most of the people love the body first, but I wanted you to love me, my soul first.
I know, that day when you found me laughing over phone & I misbehaved with you, you were thinking that I was talking to someone special, whom I don't want you to know. But actually, it was my friend, Aisha. We were talking about you, she was making fun. And I was laughing.

I was afraid if you hear it, that's why mistakenly behaved like that. Sorry."

Pramod silently hears all. Susheela slowly puts her head on his shoulder and holds her arm.

"You know what Pramod ji, I've always been loving you lots. Even today, you I guess noticed, I got ready beautifully. Do you know for whom? For one & only, you. A word of appreciation from you is equal to buying me the moon. But you know my nature, right? I never wanted to stay like this, so far. And see, we're so close by heart now!"

"P. So you're mine? Not leaving me alone ever?"

"S. Surely not, how can I leave my doctor & his super cool mom in my life! I'm never going anywhere leaving this family!"

"(Teary eyed+Smiles) You're strange Susheela ji!"

"S. Hehe, yeah I am, still I am perfect!"

"P. Of course you are! Who in more perfect than you for me?"

They feel the moment like freezing forever, sitting & talking with each other, enjoying the wonderful evening, what's more sweet than this?

The next day, now Pramod and Susheela are in a car. Driver is driving, Susheela is sitting beside Pramod on back seat. They are returning to home in happy mood.

She is eating chips holding an orange packet in her laps, sometimes offering Pramod.
Pramod is also enjoying the way a lot, may their journey never come to an end!

Wind is blowing very fast, relaxing..

Suddenly, the push from back turned everything! In a second, what exactly happened & how, nothing could be understood. Susheela's head is near Pramod's knees, her nose is bleeding! Pramod sees it all with a little sense he yet had, even he has got injured with glass pieces. His spectacles fall down and he holds Susheela's bleeding body. She is slightly breathing.

Yeah, an accident took place.

That's all here, thanks for reading!
