I'll always remember us | ✔️

37. Shivani

"At least explain, you know I don't understand this legal shit."
He said following me to the washroom

I stopped in the middle and turned to face him.

"See you know, the problem was he claimed that land before you and got all the registration done while you claimed that you brought the land and even had all the registration done. Last hearing the judge said that he would elwant the Registrar office to confirm the date of registration, basically it elwas a race of 'who did it first'."

His expression was a mixture of awe and confusion.
(Like you guys 🙄)

"See,"
I continued
"The problem was that your papers were real, on the other hand his were forged.
He didn't actually buy that land, he bribed the officer to make fake registration papers.
I just forced him to drop the case that claimed that you had the fake papers."

"Yea, no I know about the case it's just, I was foolish enough to let this happen."

He said scratching his head.

"It's not your fault, I have seen experienced people fall into worst-case scenarios.
This was mid"

I was so proud of myself, I had to flip my hair at the end.

"You were the one so tensed, that made me tensed.
Of course this wasn't my fault I did all the paperwork nicely l, ab vo mere khilaaf conspiracy karega toh obvious meri kya galti."

He turned and started walking towards the living room.

"We still need to talk"
He shouted from the end of the long corridor.

Oh fuck, I know what he's gonna say, shit!

.........

I came out, tying my hair with the last hair tied I could find.

Where are the rest, I bought so many!

I don't know what it is but I always keep loosing these little devils.
Can't even find one when I need them the most.

"What"
I said as I massaged the hand that ached due to the weight of my hair.

"What about us?"
His index finger going back and forth between him and I.

"What about .......us?"
I said not looking at him at all.

I couldn't look at him.
C'mon, how could I??
I knew he was gonna ask this, but that doesn't change the fact that I don't have an answer.
I did not have time to figure my feelings out.

I don't know if I like him or not.
I don't know if I can like him ever again after what happened.

After putting my client in his place I called my brother to ask him about this..... about this problem.

He said and I quote, "Shivani, I don't have time to sort your marriage out"

"I am not asking you to start my marriage, I am asking you to help me understand, this shit you idiot."
I replied

He told me that his father has always been the bad guy, that is he worked so hard from his childhood to be where he had reached, and after what happened with advit's older sister, he had gone mad.

He started manipulating the heck out of him.
Instilled so much fear in him that he couldn't even say a word.

The reason why he left unannounced wasn't even known by shivaansh.
He said he never asked because when he saw advit leaving, he was scared out of his wits.

He had never seen him like that and since he heard his father on his deathbed saying things like,

"I need you to continue this......men who are carzy after a women are.........I tried to make you so strong but you......loveake you weak."

That's why he left, in short he destroyed him.
He had no courage to say anything to anybody.

When I asked shivaansh, why he didn't tell me all of this he said, "I was not in a position to tell you shivani, it was not my place plus we had so much going on
In our own house after uncle's death, nobody had time to dwell on a silly break up"

I hate him, shivaansh.
It wasn't a silly break up.
I wasn't able to date for so many years after that scared that people would leave me like him.

"What if you leave again?"
I directly jumped to the question that scared me the most.

A sigh left his mouth.

"I won't, I promise, I know I have made mistakes in the past and I am so very apologetic about them but now that everything is fine and my father has left I have started working on my self, I started with communicating to you. I promise anything....."

I stopped him mid-sentence.

"I don't know what my feelings are, and I can't.....I mean I am not able to to figure this out. You really haven't been helpfull"

I said rolling my eyes.
He deserves this sass, he was a pain in my Butt.

He was looking at me like a hopeless idiot.
His expression suddenly changed to....like he was about to conspire something.

"Ok" He said in an affirmative tone, confusing me upon his reaction.

He should have been pleading and begging.
What is wrong  with him??

I resisted the throw a tantrum.

"Waise bhi tu baat karne se toh manegi nhi, I'll have to do something else itself"

He said in one breath and left from the living room.

What????

.........

I heard a loud bang in the kitchen.
As I ran outside I say him picking up a saucepan in one hand and a frying pan in another.

"Which one is a tava??"
He asked me referring to the utensils in his hands.

"What are you doing??"

"Aree tava koansa hai isme se?"

"Right wala"

"Yeh wla?"
He said putting forward the saucepan.

"Mera right"

"Ohh acha"

I stepped closer to the kitchen counter

"Kya Kar raha hai??"
I asked after I looked around a bit

He's going to burn the kitchen down.
Keh tiloh aise rahi hun jaise mujhe kuch banana aat hai lol.

"Tere antim sanskaar ki taiyaari babes"
He said giving me a cunning smile

"Don't call me babes"
I rolled my eyes

"Okay babes"

"Aadi!!"

..........

Yeh toh Acha tha babes!!
😉😉
