THERE'S ANOTHER SKY

IT'S ENOUGH

Sarna POV

After all the pampering and instructions about returning early today, sidhant let me come to work...

As soon as I entered my cabin, my boss asked me to meet ham sabka boss super boss Mr Samrat...  I quickly went towards his cabin with my notepad in hand... I knocked at the door and his voice came instructing me to come inside...

I entered his cabin and saw him looking at his laptop with a smirk... Soon his eyes shifted to me and he smiled sweetly... I don't know why but this looks creepy to me...

"Morning sir, you had called me?" I asked him...

"Yes Sarna, please come and sit" he gestured towards the sofas in his office... I looked at him confused... Soon he got up from his seat and came towards the sofa and sat on one of them gesturing me to sit too... I also sat on the sofa opposite him...

"How are you sarna," he asked me sweetly... I don't what is in his mind going on... Why he's on a first-name basis...

"Am good sir, actually I have some work waiting for my attention in the office, if you could tell me why you had called me here then it would be good of you?" I said politely, as politely as I could... I saw his expression changing from sweet to sour...

"Well Sarna being honest I don't like to beat the bush around, so I would like to be straightforward.. umm actually I was thinking to get married as my grandmother is forcing me to get married before all my hairs turn grey... Well back a few months I used to think that marriage is not one of my things but after meeting you I realised it could be a blessing... Umm would you like to marry me Sarna" he said looking at me... I didn't know how to react... I was just staring at his face with my wide-opened eyes until he cleared his throat...

"Sorry?" That was all my voice could form...

"Sarna I know what you are going through right now but believe me I can make you the princess of my life, if you agree to me... I know you don't love me or even like me but think about it... Although when you had loved someone before it had resulted in a really bad way, then why not give it a try? May you would fall in love eventually with me..?" He said... How dare he? How can he insult my past? Who gave him the damn right? It's enough! I stood up from my seat placing a hand on my baby bump for support...

"Sorry sir but I don't think I can be a princess of anybody's life, am already a queen of my own life, I don't need anyone right now," I said while controlling my anger...

" Listen sarna it's not practical. You are pregnant right now and the place where you are living right now is not good for you or the future of your baby. I will accept you with this baby and it doesn't even bother me that whoever it is-" he kept saying whatever came into his mind but I can't just hear him like a dumb...

"Enough! It is Enough. You don't have a fucking right to say anything about my baby. So be within your limit, Mr Samrat." Saying this I closed my eyes and took a deep breath to control my anger... "My resignation letter will reach you tomorrow." Saying this I walked out of his office and went inside the loo and cried covering my mouth with my hands... After ten or fifteen minutes I decided to go back home... I need to go out of here... I quickly washed my face and went into my cabin to collect my things... I was in the middle of packing my things when Payal came there...

"Sarna? Kya hua tumhe, tumhari aakhe kyu lal hai? Tum roi ho kya?" Hearing her words I started crying again, she hugged me immediately and tried to console me... Thank god my boss is not in her cabin right now...

"Payal mai ghar ja rahi hu" I said wiping my tears...

"Kyu? Kya hua? Kisi ne kuch kaha kya?" She asked... I nodded and narrated what had happened in Samrat sir's office... She was shocked to hear all this too...

"Sarna mai bhi chalti hu tumhare sath," she said but I denied her...

"No payal, tum yahi raho, mai apna resignation letter kal bhijwa dugi but tum apni job mat kharab karo" I said.. but she was persistent about her decision...

"Sarna I don't want to hear anything.. he might be a good person for others but what he did today is not acceptable... Aaj iss office se ham dono sath me jayege fir natija chahe kuch bhi ho" she said with determination...

"Chalo raste me mai bhi apna saman le lugi" Saying this she collected her things and then we went to her floor and collected her things too before leaving...

"Sarna? Tu aaj itna jaldi aa gyi?" Aayi asked as we entered the home...

"Kaki vo sarna ki tabiyat thodi kharab lag rhi thi is liye ham wapas aa gaye" payal answered instead of me... Aayi looked at me briefly and then spoke...

"Maa ko koi jhut kaise bol sakta hai? Tu bhil gyi maa ko bache ka jhut pakadne me do minute nahi lagta, chal baith or bata kya hua" aayi said... Her words melted my heart... A mother's love can heal anyone... I kept my head on her lap and told her whatever had happened in the office...

"Sarna, usne tere ko shadi ke liye pucha achi baat hai, han uske shabd sahi nhi the hame kisi ko haq nhi kisi ke bite kal pr kuch bolne ka, pr agar tu chahti hai to tujhe usse shadi karna chahiye," she said... I closed my eyes and after hearing her words my heartfelt piercing pain...

"Aayi tu kya bakwas kar rhi hai" I opened my eyes with Gerk hearing the voice... I looked towards the door where the voice's owner stood...

"To kya hi galat bola hai maine sidhant? Thik hi to bol rhi hu... Vo admi ise or iske bache ko apnane ko taiyar hai to kya hi burai hai isme?" Aayi said getting up from her place... I wiped my eyes and looked at the floor... Suddenly I felt two hands holding mine...

"Sarna tere ko jyada sochne ki jarurat nahi hai, tu tension nhi le... Baki tera jo faisla hoga use mai pura karega... Tu bol kya tu sachme usse shadi karna chahti hai? Kya tu mujhe..mera matlab ham sab ko chorh kr jana chahti hai yaha se?" Sidhant asked while sitting on the floor in front of me, holding my hands in his... I looked at him and I knew my answer...

"Nn..nahi" I said and I saw his facial expression changing into a relaxed one...

"Par sarna aise tu kitna hi waqt rahegi yaha? Chaar ya panch mahine me tera bacha aa jayega is duniya me, tab tu kya karegi? Kaise sambhalegi apne bache ko or khudko" aayi spoke and I know she is right somewhere...

"Aayi jaise tune mujhe pala waise ye bhi apne bache ko sambhal legi or fir ham log to hai na yaha" sidhant said...

"Sidhant pr-" aayi spoke again but sidhant made her stop...

"Bas aayi, sarna ko jo karna hoga vo karegi, abhi tu jyada jor matt daal us pr, kal bhi behosh ho gyi thi, ab baar baar doctor ke pass le jana bhi mushkil hai" he said looking at me...

"Kyu? Kyu mushkil hai?" I asked out of nowhere...

"Apna wajan dekhi hai? Kitni moti hai tu, tereko uthane ke chakkar mai hi uth jayega" he said in a taunting tone... I pouted in anger while he just stood up and looked at aayi...

"Aayi mai vo saman lene aaya tha bas, abhi mai ja raha hu pr tu jyada bak bak matt karna iske sath or tu! Tu ja kr abhi aaram kr, baki baat mai sham ko karega tere se" he said and picked some species packets from the kitchen and went out...

"Sarna" I looked at aayi as she called me...

"Ji aayi?" I asked... Payal sat beside me holding my hand...

"Tujhe sidhant kaisa lagta hai?" Aayi asked, making me surprised by her sudden question...

"Aayi vo acha hai" I said trying to not look at her...

"Vo acha hai ya tere ko acha lagne laga hai?" She asked again but I didn't know what to answer so I just looked down...

"Hmm... Payal ja apni saheli ko leja kamre me or ise sula de thodi der.." aayi said smiling at payal... Payal too returned her smile by smiling... She took me into the room and made me lie down on the bed... After some minutes I felt myself drowning in deep sleep...
