At GULAB KOTHI
Shlok was sharing Zara in one bed. WHICH IS THAT, THEY ARE HUGGING ON EACH OTHER. It was a midnight time. Suddenly Shlok got up and looked at sleeping Zara he remember in his mind how she looks in sleep but in real life she is totally different. Then, he got up from his bed and began putting on his clothes.
He looked at her and kissed at her forehead for the final time he exited that room on swift foot.
He got into his car and drove away from GULAB Kothi, his mind clouded with thoughts of Zara and the complications of his life. The drive towards Surayvanshi Mansion was silent, the only sound being the hum of the engine. After a few minutes, he arrived at the gate, and his car smoothly entered the grand estate. He parked and got down, walking briskly towards the entrance of the mansion.
As he entered the grand hall, the quietness of the house enveloped him. He made his way to his room, each step echoing in the silence. When he reached his room, he opened the door cautiously, hoping not to disturb Vidhya. However, to his surprise, she was fully awake and waiting for him.
"Tum soyi nahi? Itni der tak jag rahi ho?" ("Didn't you sleep? You've been awake for so long?")Shlok Asked Vidhya as he got surprise how she still awake.
Vidhya sat up in bed, her eyes scanning his face with a mixture of concern and anger. "Ab aap aaye hain, Shlok?" (Now you've arrived, Shlok?")she asked, her voice sharp with accusation.
Shlok sighed, knowing that a confrontation was inevitable. "Haan, Vidhya. Bas kuch kaam tha,"("Yes, Vidhya. I just had some work.") he replied, trying to keep his voice steady.
Vidhya's gaze didn't waver. "Kuch kaam tha? Ya phir kuch aur baat hai jo aap mujhse chhupa rahe hain?" she asked, her voice rising with frustration.
Shlok walked over to the bed, trying to take her hand, but she pulled away. "Vidhya, asa kuch nhi hai."(“Vidhya, it’s nothing like that,”)he said, his voice filled with regret.
Vidhya stood up, tears welling in her eyes. "Shlok, mujhe sach batayein. Zara ke saath aapka kya rishta hai? Kya aap usse pyaar karte hain?"(“Shlok, tell me the truth. What is your relationship with Zara? Do you love her?)she demanded, her voice trembling.
Shlok's expression hardened slightly. "Vidhya, tum ha yah sab jaana ki zaroorat nahi samjhi tum,"(“Vidhya, there’s no need for you to know all of this,”)he said in annoyed.
Vidhya's heart sank as she felt the weight of Shlok's dismissive response. She wiped away a tear, determined to get some clarity despite the tension in the air. "Shlok, yeh meri zindagi ka sawaal hai. Main bas jaan'na chahti hoon ki aap aur Zara ke beech kya hai?"(“Shlok, this is about my life. I just want to know—what is going on between you and Zara?”)she pressed on, her voice steady despite the emotions swirling inside her.
Shlok's frustration simmered beneath the surface as he struggled to find the right words. "Vidhya, mujhe apne decisions ke liye justify karne ki zaroorat nahi hai,"( “Vidhya, I don’t need to justify my decisions to you,”)he replied tersely, avoiding her gaze.
Vidhya took a deep breath, trying to keep her composure. "Shlok, humari shaadi mein jo bhi ho, mujhe yeh haq hai ki main aapse yeh sawaal poochhun. Kya aap Zara se pyaar karte hain?"(“Shlok, no matter what’s happening in our marriage, I have the right to ask this question. Do you love Zara?”)she asked again, her voice tinged with vulnerability.
Shlok's jaw clenched, his frustration evident in his rigid posture. "Vidhya, yeh sab humare beech mein mat laao. Yeh mere professional decisions hai,"(“Vidhya, stop bringing this into our lives. This is a professional matter,”)he stated firmly, his tone leaving no room for further discussion.
