Shantanu was working on his laptop. It was one thirty on the clock and he was about to get his lunch when his phone rang. Some unknown number calling. He received it.
— Hello!
— Hello! Aap Isha Bhosle ke gharwale bol rahe hai?
— Ji... Kya hua hai?
— Aap kon hai?
— Main... Main uska husband hu!
— Apki wife unconscious ho gayi hai collage pe. Plzz aayiye.
— What!
Shantanu screamed out. His heart felt a pain and a fear wrapped his whole mind. The fear of losing Isha. Why she was unconscious? Shantanu immediately went to college. He went straight into the teacher's room. Some professors knew him as he once worked here. Also, Isha and Atul's things made Isha and Shantanu popular here. Shantanu ignored all the eyes and sat down infront of her.
— Isha... Kya hua hai? Kaise behosh ho gayi? Tabiyat kharab tha phir bhi kyu aayi? Kya hua?
Isha stopped him and said,
— Calm down plz.. Kuch nahi hua hai. M... Mujhe ghar jaana hai!
Shantanu nodded his head and without giving anyone any time he took her in his arms and went out. Isha knew he will not listen anything now so she silently stayed like that. He made her sit in the car and started driving. He continued his words,
— Kitni baar bola hai tum meri baat suna karo. Mujhe laag rhaa tha kuch idharudhar hoga... Tu...
— Mujhe periods aaya hai!
Shantanu stopped his words and looked towards her. The tiredness was clearly visible on her face. Shantanu sensed something more was there in it but he chose to stay quiet. As they reached their flat, Isha sat on the bed. Shantanu sat just next to her. He said,
— Dard horaha hai?
— Bohot.
— Hot water deta hu... Tum change karlo.
Isha nodded her head and went inside the washroom. When she came outside, she saw Shantanu sitting on the bed with food, medicine and hot water bag. Isha stared towards him for some minutes and straight went to him and hugged him tightly. Shantanu carcassed on her hairs. After some moments, he asked her...
— Kya hua hai Isha? Sirf dard se meri Isha itni kamzoor nahi padh sakti. Kuch or hua hai... Kya hua hai?
Instead of answering, Isha started crying. Shantanu cupped her face and said,
— Kya hua hai Isha? Bolo plzz... Mujhe tension ho rahi hai!
— Maine Atul ko use kiya hai Shantanu!
— Kya? Matlab?
— College mein saabko lagta hai main galat hu, selfish hu, characterless hu. Maine pehele tumhe use kiya phir Atul ko or phir abb tum! Mujhse nahi horaha hai Shantanu... Saabki nafrat bhari aankhe mujhe... Students ki favorite se saabse hated professor ban gayi hu... Mujhse nahi hua sehen!
— Isha... Pehele batao, khana bhi nahi khaya tumne? Breakfast nahi ki ghar pe waha bhi nahi khaya?
— Khaane ka situation hi nahi tha. Mujhe pata hi nahi chala kaab saab itna bikhar gaya!
Shantanu hugged her tightly. He knew how much pure his Isha was! He wanted to protect her from everything. After some time, he made her sit on the bed. He wiped her tears and said,
— Main hu na... Kisiki matt socho. Pehele khana khao.
He made her eat the food slowly. Then he gave her the medicine. Then he said her,
— Dekho meri taraf, tumhe sach pata haina? Tumhe pata haina ki tumne kuch galat nahi kiya. Jo bhi hua saab baas ho gaya. Nahi tum or nahi main kuch kar paaya. Isme tumhari, meri kisiki galati nahi hai. Its all about the situation Isha. Meri Isha kabhi galat nahi hoti. Logo ke baare mein matt socho. Its your life, tumhari zindagi ki decisions tumhari hai. Or main hu na, phir kyu logo ki baat sunke yeah saab sochna?
He hugged her tightly again. Isha said him,
— Pata hai, inn saat saalo mein maine kabhi Atul ko ekdin bhi janne nahi diya ki mujhe pain horaha hai. Periods ke time, apna khayal khud rakhti thi. Dard mein chup reheti thi. Or haar waqt mujhe tum chahiye hote the. Mujhe tumhari khusbo chahiye hoti thi, tumhara pyaar chahiye hota tha. M.. Main na tumhare shirt ko hug karke baithi reheti thi. Mujhe laagta tha shayad abhi tum aayoge or mujhe apne paas khich loge. Haar waqt, haar jagah tumhe dhundhti thi main. I love you Shantanu... Mujhe chor ke matt jaana plz...
Shantanu kissed on her forehead and cupped her face. He said,
— Main kaha jaunga tumhe chorke? Mera jaane ka koi jagah hi nahi hai tumhare alawah. Tum meri saab kuch ho Isha. Meri chalti firti ghar!
After sometime, Shantanu understood Isha slept on his chest due to the medicine's reaction. He was about to make her lay on the bed when he saw Isha holding his shirt tightly. He smiled and again kissed on her forehead. He decided to stay like that till his princess stay asleep.
