Truthfully Yours

Chapter 27

We all were dancing and singing out loud as we are all excited today.

" Vir! Its not fair. We all are covered in colour except you.. ", Raghu said. Vir just shrugged.

" Vir.. come on ", Rey said taking colour.

" No! Reyansh! ", Vir yelled as he was about to put the colours on him.

The triplets and Raghu took colour in their hand. I took the race red colour which he put on me. You're done Vir.

We started chasing him as he started to run. We were running around the corridor and he reached a lonely area where he wouldn't be escaping.

He just turned and smirked. I was confused seeing him smirking at us. Us? Guys? Are you all there ?

I turned back and saw no one. It was just me and him alone.

My eyes widened and I looked at him with big doe eyes. Shit! I'm done. He was looking at me with some look I couldn't comprehend. I just turned to run away but then there my leg twisted as usual.. but I'm not one but too.

I closed my eyes as I was about to fall down but he was very fast to catch me. I was breathing heavily.

" Don't tryna run away from me ", he whispered.

He made me stand straight. I opened my eyes to meet with his angry ones. I just looked down but mentally thanked him for saving me and baby.

He held my hand and I looked up at him with widened eyes. He just smiled. I felt so warm. He touched his cheeks with my hands and applied the colour by himself. I was looking into his deep eyes and he just blinked twice reminding me that I forgot to even blink.

I looked down blushing. I took my hands away and was about to go because of my shyness I had but he held my hand and started to walk holding me.

" You're not leaving my side today ", he said but it's all new. I've never seen this Vir, never did I imagine him to do this.

We reached the place where everyone were present. Oh shit I forgot to congratulate him.

" Vir.. ", I dragged. He looked at me and nodded with a smile.

" Congratulations ", I said and he smiled wider.

And I'm proud of you. I wish you to go to many more heights in life.

I wanted to say but couldn't. Let that be. It doesn't matter.

" Thank you. You have a great rank too. Congratulations. I'm proud! ", he said with a smile. I smiled too.

We all had lunch together as Anuj brother had arranged for us. Then myself and my friends sat in a circle and talked a lot. The day went with full fun.

There came Vir and sat beside me while talking to Rey. My heart beat raised slightly. Not slightly but rapidly.

" You're now 5 months.. baby can hear little sound like your heartbeat ", he whispered to me. I felt jitters inside me. Only his voice can make havoc inside me.

Soon it was the evening to leave. I found myself in tears as I'm going to miss them all again.

" Guys dont worry.. we all can catch up after joining college. Don't worry ", a boy shouted but he was crying too.

" Madhvi.. ", again they all pulled me into a hug and cried. Why do I feel like I'll never meet them all again?

I bid bye to everyone as they all started to leave. I looked at Vir who was hugging Raghu and Rehaan already. He hugged Saanvi and Rey too. He mumbled something to Saanvi looking down but she just cried. I didn't know what they were talking about.

But slowly Vir turned to me. I couldn't just coordinate my functions as he is nearing me.

He just stood infront of me. I don't know what he's thinking but I just want to give him a hug. A very tight hug.

" I.. I just got to know that your family arranged for your engagement with someone else. I know it must be affecting you but you please don't worry. You did nothing wrong. Its all takes a blame on me ", he said and sighed.

" Never think twice before taking my name when you feel trapped by your family.. ", he said and I broke into fresh tears.

" That blame will take your life Vir!! I can't be selfish. You once told that we're in this together.. ", I yelled at him and he was in tears too. He is trying to hide them.

" I also said I'll never let anyone harm you.. ", he said determined.

" You are acting foolish ", I said crying.

" Just once be selfish ", I continued looking at him.

    He just walked away after bidding me goodbye. I stood there crying till Anuj brother pulled me to the car.

I was crying and he consoled me with soothing words that I won't get caught. But I'm scared.

When I reached home, I saw my brother and father angry. They glared at me and I shivered in fear.

But then they started to talk about something. Oh.. so they are not angry on me? I thought they caught me.

I was going upstairs when I saw my sister-in-law looking at me with anger. She looked at my belly and I his it with my shawl. Her eyes widened and I was scared. But shocked that she didn't shout and call the whole family.

.........

A few days passed.. The night before I was laying on the bed and tomorrow is my engagement. I'm now feeling so scared to face that day. I'll be dead if they get to know themselves. I cannot tell too. What will i do now? I'm so scared.

I was trembling and crying until I thought of an idea. I know its foolishness and cowardly of me to run away at this night. What will I do then?

I stood up and packed my bag with few dresses. I stepped out of my room and saw no one awake. They all are sleeping inside their rooms. Before I step out I letter out a small cry as I'm betraying my family.

Definitely the whole village will Shane my family because of me but its better than knowing about a child without marriage.  

I stood up to leave when I felt my heart thumping loud. I was suddenly reminded of Vir. I wont be seeing him again after running away. So I thought of calling him for the first and the last time.

I went to the telephone and dialed his number which he gave me before months. It rang for a minute. I thought of disconnected it when I saw the line got connected. My heart beat raced.

" Hello? ", I heard his voice. I left out a whimper buy closed my mouth with my palm.

" Hello? Who's this? "

I didn't reply still. I thought he would disconnect it but didn't.

" Madhvi..", he said but I started to cry. How does he manage to make m break down by just taking my name?

" What happened? anything troubling you? Tell me.. ", he said panicking.

" Nothing ", I said

I just disconnected the call and cried sitting down. I know he wont call me back because the noice might disturb my family from sleep.

    I stood up and wiped my tears. I took my bag and turned my heart stone. I opened ed the door and came out. I shivered as the cold breeze hit me. I was scared to step out but I should.

Goodbye mom, dad, Prashanth and Prakash. Be happy and selfish without me. I'm sorry to disgrace you all but I have no choice to save three lives. Especially Vir and my child are very important.

Whom can i even blame when all at fault is me? Only me..
