SAUMAYA

"Saumaya, bache why you went there? Don't you know it's not a good place."

I fisted the hem of my kurti and looked at Maa's and everyone's disappointed face and my heart thumped in my chest.

"Jawab do Saumaya." Choti Maa's voice rang in my ears and my eyes fell on Mayesha who stood behind the couch and shook her head with fear in her eyes.

"I- I," I cleared my throat to find the words, "I went to- to meet a friend." I closed my eyes for the lie but couldn't dare myself to say the truth too.

"Friend? You found such a place to meet your friend Saumaya?

I inhaled a sharp breath and a certain charcoal scent hit my nostrils suddenly calming bit of nerves. My head snapped backwards and I saw him standing just behind me.

He looked at me and I stood with my breaths hitched in the fear that he will shoot at me any moment now.

But I was surprised when I felt his warm touch on my cheek as he wiped my tear and my eyes filled up again.

All I wanted at that moment was to hide myself in his arms, to seek the comfort I needed, to shoo away the dirty feeling I was having since the moment that Rishi had even touched my arm in a bad way.

He surprised me when he held my hand and looked into my eyes, "Come Mithiye, you need rest. Let's go in the room."

He tugged at my hand but Papa's voice stopped us, "Rudraksh, I am not finished yet."

He turned back and looked at me as I was facing me with his eyes softened and as he looked above at Papa, the softness in his features was replaced by rigidness.

"She is not in state to give you answer Papa. Can we talk later?" His voice sent shivers to my spine and I feared Papa's reaction to him.

"Rudra, you are talking with your father. And we are also for Saumaya's wellbeing only beta. We just wanted to know that why she went to such a place, and if she went there to meet a friend then we should highly look after her friend who visits such places." Maa's voice was laced with disappointment which made me hold his hand more tightly.

"Didi is right Rudra, Didn't you saw what those media channels were publishing today? Saumaya, you need to understand that your reputation is attached to ours now beta. Now see, everyone is disgracing Mehrotra's especially your husband's name."

Tears slipped out of my eyes as I felt my heart shattering because of the guilt. How will I face anyone now was the only thought in my head and then Aksh's plain voice reached my ears.

"That's how you were going to talk, worried for her, Papa? with your voices laced with utter disappointment, by making her feel guilty or by putting this whole shit of burden on her shoulders? Well, thank you so much, but I'll do rest of the worries for now. Please Excuse us."
