Life and Its Twists (Completed)

Chapter 39

Lehar POV

My life was bliss right now. Ofcourse, there is that knife hanging over my head on what decision I would be making and if I could forgive my Raghav but otherwise, we were in that typical honeymoon period.

Everyday, in the morning we cuddle and talk after wishing each other good morning. Then, we have our tea together, talking about all the plans we have for the day. Now, Raghav took it upon himself to teach me horse riding and to be honest, riding on the horse while he holds me close to himself, the wind in the air does make me feel happy.

In the night he arranges private dinner in our suite or he decorates the terrace with candles, we already have an excellant view from the terrace, which is a plus point. Daily, night we cuddle close, whispering sweet nothings or teasing each other which ends with a sweet making out session.

I had to tell Pihu the truth and I know I was procrastinating but I had to do it soon. I need to talk to Arjun soon. I went to Arjun's cheif of security and requested him an appointment with Arjun owing to his busy schedule and I had to wait.

I am trying to make as many memories as Pihu too as I dont know what she might choose. Once she chooses I would be out of here. I was standing on the terrace overlooking the little pond in the mansion. It was windy and while I was trying to put my unruly hair in place I heard a voice clear.

Arjun: Hi, Lehar 

Me: Hello, I wanted to have a talk with you

Arjun: Sorry, I was a bit busy. My PA told me you wanted to go ahead and tell Pihu the truth

Me: Yes, its high time

Arjun: Are you not afraid that she might not want to leave ?

Me: I love her but I gotta respect her decision if she wants to stay with you 

Arjun: Its surprising that a month ago you could have killed me for Pihu and now you are okay ?

Me: I found the truth. If Prisha Di was alive she would have given you this chance too. She loved you too much to take you away from your daughter.

Arjun: But she did do that 

Me: That was because she felt you would kill her 

Arjun: Even with all my flaws, I cannot believe she would think that I would do any harm to her

Me: She was a pregnant women, who was very protective of her kid

He nodded and hesitated before turning completely to face me

Arjun: Can I ask you something ?

Me: Yeah

Arjun: What happened the day Prisha died

Me: I am sorry, I am apolozising because it is tough to hear about this. My dad came to the village and we were alone. She said she got contractions, owing to the thunder and mild rainfall, I got no rides. I took my dad's car out and was driving with stress, as I was scared. That was when she revealed that she was okay and she just had cravings to eat some ice cream. 

I looked at Arjun and he looked pained, anticipating what might happen next. 

Me: I yelled at her because she gave me stress for nothing but drove ahead to our regular ice cream parlour. On the way, the rain poured heavily, we both got scared now and turned to go back home. That was when a car hit us. Pihu was saved in C section while Prisha ...I still feel so guilty to not be able to save her ...

I looked at Arjun and he had tears in his eyes. He hid his face in his palms and sobbed. He did really love Prisha Di. I put my hand on his shoulder and he cried for a while before composing himself.

Arjun: You should not feel guilty, it was not your fault 

Me: Are you okay ?

Arjun: No, Umm Lehar, could you tell me about her pregnancy ? Was it easy? How was Pihu as a kid ?

I smiled at his questions

Me: You know, Prisha maintained a journal of how she felt everyday through out the pregnancy. I can xerox it and give you those. I normally read it when I miss her. And about Pihu, from the time she was born, I documented everything, I dont know why but I felt like doing it.

Arjun: I would love to see those

Me: Okay, I will give it to you soon. Fortunately, I carry it always.

He nodded with a smile and we both stood there for a while

Me: We will tell the truth today at dinner

He nodded and while I was leaving he cleared his throat, calling my name

Arjun: Can I ask you something ?

Me: Okay ..

Arjun: Are you seriously planning to leave ?

Me: Yes, I am

Arjun: You are planning to leave Raghav too ?

I nodded, sadness engulfing me

Arjun: You love him right ?

Me: I do, but I dont know if I will be the same person he loved once Pihu is here. Raghav, always craved for your love, he finally has it, he deserves to stay here but its not my place to stay. I have other things planned.

Arjun: I am guilty but I never gave him the warmth he needed. I was busy with state affairs. But, just for me he did all this even though I did not give him what he wanted. Now, when he met you he saw what he always wanted.

He looked at me and continued speaking 

 Arjun: He fell in love, proposed and you accepted. You gave him that warmth, that family, that love, he craved for. For a person like me he did so much, dont you think for you he will leave the mansion and good old me?

I looked at him shocked

Arjun: He is miserable thinking you are leaving. He might act tough but I know how much he despises the idea of you both splitting. My Raghav is planning to leave me, this mansion, his grand parents for you. He would wait forever as a tenant just for you to come around. Please rethink your decision.

He went away after saying that while I stood there taking everything in. This guy did everything for this family and now he is planning to leave with me? I went into my bedroom and he just stepped out of the shower. His body clad in towel.

My husband, I cannot leave him can I ? He is my everything. I turned him towards me and hugged him, sobbing in his arms. He let me be but made me look at him. 

Me: I have to leave soon but I just heard you are going with me

Raghav: Yes, I am leaving with you, if you are going 

Me: But, its your family

Raghav: The whole life I craved for the warmth, it took me a lot of efforts to get here. A lot of lies and hiding information, got me this family, but with you it was so instant. You are my family. Yes I care and love them but you are my priority. I love you okay ? Dont feel guilty I am going away from here, I will visit and ...

I kissed him with all the love and held his cheek in my palm

Me: Lets give our relationship a try. But, Raghav if you ever hurt me again ...

Raghav: I swear on my parents, I never will

I hugged him and we went on spending the night together until we had to tell Pihu the truth.
