CHAPTER FOURTEEN

• AUTHOR'S POV •

It wasn't a while when Aai had came downstairs.. And then getting fresh, Teju too decided to go down but upon going down, she came to hear the conversation between Karan and her parents and that's when she realised that he really is feeling guilty..

She knew him very well and hence she can can clearly hear his helplessness in his voice but her current situation doesn't permit her to forgive him.. Even after knowing that he has realised his mistake, a part of her heart wants her to not forgive him.. And hence, she decided to go with the same..

Seeing that they are now done conversing, she made her presence known.. But then, excellently ignoring Karan, she went towards dining room, only to find there Veda, enjoying some marathi snacks.. Passing her a beautiful smile, she then went to kitchen to prepare the dinner as they are gonna have their dinner here..

The time passed peacefully yet awkwardness lingering in the atmosphere but none of them made efforts to remove the awkwardness.. After they were done with the dinner, TejRan with Veda departed from the Teju's home to head towards Karan's home..

Soon they reached home and then meeting Mumma and Papa, they all retired to their respective rooms while Veda went with Mumma and Papa.. While Teju amd Karan went to their room...

After getting fresh, Teju got settled on bed while Karan who had just came after getting freshen up, came and sat beside Teju, on the other side of the bed..

Both kept sitting in the awkwardness for a while.. But then breaking the silence, Karan said,

"Baat kare??"

While Teju replied,

"Hmm..bol.."

"Teju, I know that I have hurted you a lot aur uske liye jitne bhi reasons de lu ya maafi maag lun, both would suffice the hurt that you have suffered bit still I would like to tell you about whole situation..." Karan said..

"After our fight that night,when you had came to my set next day..I had noticed that how, Aanya was giving you looks like,that she won or she had done something great..But even after seeing it, I ignored it..I was way too much into the trap that she had sewed to break us apart and I let her succeed in her Intentions.." He continued while Teju kept her silence, listening to him carefully..

"Uske baad,i completely blocked you up from my life and at that time,i don't know why but i couldn't remove the image of her victory smirk and your upset face from my mind and that was the time when I decided to investigate about the matter...Maine Omi ko bolo, usne sab pata lagaya and I got to know about it a day before our wedding in Punjab..Tujhe pata hai, mai kitna bada gadha hun, mujhe toh sab baad mai pata chala par papa ne pehle hi sab jaan liya tha and he had called me to the study before our haldi to tell this where Baba was too present...That day, I apologized to both of them..." He completed and then kept staring at Teju with multiple emotions in his heart which were kept on display by his eyes..

After maintaining her silence for like an eternity, Teju said,

"When you had doubts regarding Aanya's intentions,toh tune mujhse baat kyu nahi ki??El hafta liya thik hai,par uske baad kyu kuch nhi bola?Jab you knew that somewhere Aanya was the reason for our break up, tab kyu kuch nhi bola?? Jab pata tha ki cheezen bigad rahi hai tab kyu nahi saha karna chaha??Kyu,Karan??Kyu humara break up announce karwaya??Kyu??"

Hearing her burst, Karan spoke,

"Guilt, Teju guilt...Uss ek din, kisi aur ki baaton mai aake jo tujh pe shaq kiya, woh andar se tod raha tha mujhe..Unn pics par bharosa kiya aur teri ek baat tak na sun ne ka guilt, itna bada tha ki tujhse nazare tak nhi mila pa raha tha..Laakh baat karni thi par kaha se shuru karu yeh hi nhi samjh raha tha..Jab bhi tere samne aata tha, woh guilt itna badh jaata tha k tujhse rudely baat karne par aa jata tha...Rahi baat,announcement ki toh woh bas isliye tha taaki Aanya ko pata chale k humne officially alag ho chuke hai aur woh apna asli chehra dikha de...And you know what, usne woh kiya bhi, break up announce karne k teen ya char din baad, she called me, when we were in Punjab,tab bhi she just tried to fill me up against you but tab mai samjh chuka tha sab..bas proofs ka wait tha..jo ki shaadi k ek din pehle mile..I know, bohot hurt kiya, bohot rulaya hai tujhe but trust me, I wanna make things right..I would compensate for everything I did..Just give a chance.."

"I don't know,Karan..I just don't know..Kya bolu mai?? Tu hi bata..Agar mai teri jagah aur tu mera jagah hota toh kya karta tu??Tu hi bata.." Teju spoke after a while..

"You know what, you are like a drug..A drug which destroys me but still I just want you..Tu chahiye toh sahi par tere saath saath tu meri barbaadi bhi saath leke aata hai..kya karu uska mai??Tujhe jo kehna tha tune bol diya, mujhe toh kehna tha maine bol diya,ab iske aage mujhe kuch nhi pata..." She continued..

"You...Umm..t..tu...I...matlab you are saying k sab khatam??" Karan asked being scared of losing her..

"I don't know..." Teju replied..

"Ab kis baat ka dar hai tujhe?? Mujhe khone ka?? Woh toh already ho chuka hai..Toh ab mat dar, jab darna tha aur actions lene the tab Tu chup betha tha..." Teju said sensing his emotions and then she laid down in her side..

While Karan too did the same but then composing himself, he spoke,

"Tujhe nhi pata kya karna hai but I know what I have to do..Teju bas, six months, yeh jo aane wale six months woh de de mujhe, I would win your trust back, I would win you back..Agar uske baad bhi tujhe lage that I don't deserve you, mai bina kuch bole jo tu kahegi woh karunga.."

Though Teju listened to what he said, she maintained her silence while Karan who knew that now he isn't gonna get reply, got up from bed and then laid on sofa with a duvet and pillow, facing her, seeing her serene face in the dimmed room, till the sleep engulfed him..
