An Unexpected Life Companion (Completed) Watty's 2024

Chapter 37

Diya POV

We were enjoying the ride in our car when I felt an ache in the stomach and when we almost reached our home, warning bells rung in my head. Today, was supposed to be our day. It was supposed to be the time when we both get closer together ....

I felt Vikram pat me on my shoulder to bring me out of my thoughts when I looked at him with apologetic glance.

Vikram: Diya, what happened?

Me: I need to use the restroom

Vikram: Okay

I rushed to the washroom, taking the sanitary napkin from my closet. When I checked I was sad to find out that it would be my first day of the period. This was not supposed to happen, it was supposed to be our night.

I changed into my dark colored nightdress and saw that Vikram looked worried for me. I had tears in my eyes because I had dissapointed myself and now I had to tell him that today's plan isnt going to happen.

Vikram: Diya, what happened ? Are you still upset about what happened at the ...

Me: No that is not the reason

I hugged him, overwhelmed with emotions and he hugged me with concern

Me: Today was supposed to be the night when we get closer, but I just found out that I got my period. It was supposed to be our night and I know you were looking forward for our time but my body decided that it was the time of the month

We separated from the hug and Vikram tilted my face to look into my eyes. He tenderly wiped of my tears and consoled me

Vikram: Diya its four or five days of the month right for you?

Me: Yes

Vikram: And because we are a married couple we have the whole lives together. So its 5 days a month, which is 60 days a year. We still have the remaining days to make it our own night, so dont worry and do not take stress. Some times its not just our night even if we plan so much, and some times becomes our best night even when we dint plan it, so dont worry okay ?

I nodded my head 

Vikram : So you wait right here, are you having those devil like cramps

Me: Yes

Vikram: Wait here, I will just be back 

I sat down on the bed resting my back on the wall behind the bed. I held a pillow to my belly to reduce the cramps while Aunty came up with hot turmeric milk for me.

Me: Thank you Aunty

Aunty: You are welcome, is it paining a lot?

Me: It is starting to actually

Aunty: Have this sweetie, it will help you 

Me: Aunty, where is Vikram ?

Aunty: Missing him already?

Me: Aunty, I was just asking 

Aunty: He will be back soon dear, dont worry

Me: Can I ask you something Aunty ?

Aunty: Yes ? 

Me: Why did his mom decide to tell the truth to Vikram's dad, because of her truth, Vikram's whole childhood and teenage life got ruined. 

Aunty: Sometimes the lie which we keep telling tends to take the life out of us and in the last few minutes you would want to get open with that person who is your everything right? My sister loved Vikram's dad, she missed him a lot, she had one guilty moment but it was because she missed him and people do desperate things to gain attention but what would you do if the person you want that attention from was not even in the same space like you ? 

Finally, they had Vikram and they were happy for a few years until her illness came into light. The love, care and support he showed in her last moments made her guilty. She felt like she would never get peace after her death if she lied to him.She told the truth and she made him promise that he will be there for Vikram, but the minute he got to know he just closed off.

She could keep them both together with the promise but she could not get Vikram the love he deserved, life is so unfair isnt it ?

Me: Yes, Vikram would have been so lonely 

Aunty: Until his ex, he was unhappy but later on he got betrayed. The only good thing in his life is Zyra after which you came in. You and Zyra are his world.

By the time we finished talking Vikram came into the room with a packet, as soon as he came, Aunty patted my head with love and left the room. Vikram emptied out the packet and I saw that he got a few mild pain meds for my pain, he got some aloo chat because I love that, he got a water bag with hot water so that the heat would reduce my pain and then he got a dark chocolate for me.

My eyes welled because of his sweet gesture, he opened the chaat box and handed it to me after he changed. We both sat side by side enjoying the snack when I got a question

Me: How do you know that I would need all this ?

Vikram: Google and I asked in the pharmacy too on what can I get you, the lady helped me

Me: So Chweet Vikram

I pulled his cheeks and rested my head on his shoulder enjoying the quiet until I got an idea

Vikram's POV

She looked at me with a teasing smile and then she sat on my lap. I could not understand what was she trying to do but before that she kissed all over my face and made me a promise

Diya: Vikram you might have been lonely for a while but now I am here, you dont have to be lonely. You have me with you now and I will always be there with you. You might think its just an empty promise but even when I hate you when we fight I am going to continue making us happy. We might have good and bad days but we will deal with it by communicating, trust and understanding. We dont have to make any compromise or sacrifices because we accept each other flaws, but we would make our life beautiful with little adjustments. You and Zyru make me happy Vikram and I aim to make you both happy too.

Her promise shifted something in me, it was realistic while it was sweet too. I held her face between my hands and kissed her tenderly on her lips. I pulled her for a deep hug and dint let her go until it was time to sleep
