Fated Souls

❄️ Acceptance ❄️

Palak's POV :
I came with Rhea to his room. She opened the door and said, " Bhabhimaa, This is your and Bhai's room. Call me if you need anything and you know what I am so happy." I just smiled at her and said, "Thank you " ,which she replied with " My pleasure ". I sat down on the couch and started thinking about past hours and realized that my life has took a 360 degree turn. Now, I am married and the family which was my world has betrayed me. But I have to take care of them as I have promised my dadu. When he left me, I was just 9 years but I remembered his words, " Sakshi beta, You have to take care of our family when I will not be there and promise me that you will never hurt them or do any thing that hurts them." At that moment, I didn't understood what he meant but now it's clear. He used to call me Sakshi and love me more than anything. After that I didn't felt loved that way. Today when we came here, nobody questioned us. I saw a perfect example of family, they trust each other so much that they know everyone will do always right. And on other hand ,I have my so called family, they didn't even listen to me.

When Rhea called me "BHABHIMAA" ,the word itself was enough for me to make a promise to myself that I will love her, protect her and spoil her just like doll and rocky.
I was lost in my thoughts when I heard someone knocking on the door. I instantly wiped my tears and opened the door.
He was standing there. I came inside and he did the same. I turned towards him and while handing over a bag to me,he said, " Maa has sent this for you. Freshen up and come downstairs, everyone will be waiting for you. And sorry. " As soon as he completed his words, I asked him, " Do you love to say sorry? No ,because since morning you are just apologizing and it's not your fault at all. When Raghav drugged me and was marrying, you were the one who saved me and didn't you asked me before filling my partition. I said yes, right. Then, how come you are at fault. You didn't even forced me to live in this relationship. You didn't did anything wrong but then also you are apologizing. I should be the one to apologize. I am sorry."
He was just looking at me and after some moments, he said, " Even you are not at fault, It was just the fate ." " I want to ask you something. " He just hummed.
" Do you want to give us a chance ?"
" You know my answer. "
"But I want to listen from you. "
" Yes......only if you want ."
" Thank you "
" For what? "
" Nothing. "
" Should I keep it for future ? "
" You can.. If you want. "
Saying this I rushed towards washroom. I can hear him laughing. Nobody can say that the ruthless businessman Mr. Rudraksh Raichand is laughing. It was so soothing to my ears. My back was touching the washroom door and even I felt happy. I felt like I have come out from hell. I took a cold shower to release everything and made a decision that I will leave everything behind and just go with flow. Now, I have a new family to take care of and love. I will take care of them. Doll and Rocky will come to meet me here so there's no need to go there.
I wore the dress given by his maa ,it was a baby pink anarkali . It was a little loose but comfortable so it was okay. The bag even had makeup supplies and vermillion. I usually avoid makeup so decided to go for kajal and lipstick. A small bindi is mandatory . At last, I took vermillion and applied it. A smile crept on my face. I saw myself in the mirror, it was same as I thought about how I will look after marrying. I felt satisfaction. I decided to go downstairs, I was descending stairs when.......

Rudraksh's POV :
After hearing everything about her at her house, I can't help but I took her to our house.
When we reached, while parking the car I got a little drenched. Then I met her at the entrance, she took her end of dupatta and started to wipe my face. I was mesmerized by her. Her face was little gloomy and nervous. This was the first time I saw her nervous because she is always bold and confident. Her eyes are like forest to me, I just get lost in them and everything fades away. I rang the bell and the door was open by our househelp.
Everyone's eyes were on us but dadu understood the situation and he asked maa to prepare for her grah pravesh. I was a little shocked to hear that she was the same girl dadi has choosed for me. Somewhere deep down, I was happy for having such a beautiful family. After grah pravesh, princess took her to my basically our room. After that dadu asked me to freshen up and tell how everything happened. I was going upstairs when maa called me and said ," Rudra, beta give this to her and ask her to come down, tell her we will be waiting for her. Waise pari h bilkul . " She stopped in between and again said, "I think she is broken, if she gives you a chance, be her healer. " I just nodded and took the packet from her and went towards my.... ro Urghhhh.. OUR ROOM. I knocked and she opened the door, her eyelashes were wet, Was she crying? Might be, her life took a whole circle. I gave her the packet and told her everything maa said to me. She took it and said, "Do you love to say sorry? No ,because since morning you are just apologizing and it's not your fault at all. When Raghav drugged me and was marrying, you were the one who saved me and didn't you asked me before filling my partition. I said yes, right. Then, how come you are at fault. You didn't even forced me to live in this relationship. You didn't did anything wrong but then also you are apologizing. I should be the one to apologize. I am sorry."
I was just looking at her and after somemoments, I said, " Even you are not at fault, It was just the fate ." " I want to ask you something. " I just hummed.
" Do you want to give us a chance ?"
" You know my answer. "
"But I want to listen from you. "
" Yes......only if you want ."
" Thank you "
" For what? "
" Nothing. "
" Should I keep it for future ? "
" You can.. If you want. "she said this and rushed towards restroom. I started laughing. I went to the room beside our's and got ready. I decided that no matter what I will never leave her and protect her . Just like maa said I will be her healer. I wore something casual as I am not going to office and sprayed some cologne. I went downstairs. Everybody were sitting in the living room. Before I sat, everyone bombarded me with their questions. Like, " Where is she ?", " What happened yesterday? ", " How you both met? " , " How you both got married? " and blah blah.Hearing them dadu shouted, " Sab Chupp ,Rudra tum bolo aur beech mai koi nhi bolega. " Everyone kept fingers on their lips and looked towards me. I started from the returning from site and ended at her house. Everyone had pity for her eyes. But just then, our door bell rang and Inspector entered. I greeted him and he informed me that Raghav is under arrest and they handed me our belongings which had our phones also. I thanked him and he left. Just then I remembered something . I connected my phone to T. V. And played her video which I took yesterday. Everyone was just looking at the video and I can feel that they are happy on seeing her like this.
While, everyone was busy conversing among themselves, I heard mild ringing sound. I turned towards the sound and saw she was descending the stairs, she saw me and smiled, I returned it with a smile. But then......
