Out of the Blue

30| 2nd anniversary

Aanya's POV

The scene I saw shocked me to my core.

"I can't believe that I'm your son." I heard Vineet as Mr. Singhal had his hand in the air as if ready to slap him hard. I put my hand on my mouth in order to not make any noise. I wanted the scene to completely unfold in front of my eyes, I wanted to know why they hate each other so much. 

"Because of you, I lost my wife, my money, my everything. And you dare to reject my business empire that I made with so much hard work?" I heard Mr. Singhal. Is he being serious right now? But is it true that he lost his wife because of Vineet? "Not because of me, we lost her because of you." Vineet said.

"What the hell are you saying?" He said and raised his hand but Vineet held his hand again. "Yes because of you we lost her. You were the one who disappeared from our lives and now you are back. Why? To leave me again? Mom left me too. Just like you. Listen dad, don't come back to me because this time, I won't listen to your sweet talks." Vineet said and turned around to leave. He saw me but chose to ignore me and left. 

I stood there being stunned. The scene that unfolded before me was too much to take in. I decided to leave Vineet alone for some time. He needed some time alone and I was ready to give him his space. 

I went back to my home and my mind started playing Vineet's interactions with his dad. Suddenly I feel like whatever Ahana said about Vineet's father is right. He is not a good father but still a father. I was thinking all this when suddenly my phone pinged.

'1 month to 2nd anniversary'.

The notification showed. I can't believe time flies so fast. It's going to be 2 years already. 2 years of togetherness, 2 years of endless love and compatibility. A smile spread across my face.

I wanted to do something special for our second year anniversary. But for now, I need to focus on my finals which start tomorrow. So I shut my phone and went back to studying. I didn't realise when it was 3 am while studying and it was pitch black now.

Continuously looking at the laptop screen, my eyes started hurting now. I shut my laptop and closed my eyes for a bit. My thoughts wandered back to Vineet and his father. I still can't digest the words that left from Ahana's mouth. His father really cheated? And Vineet knows this?

Cheating is something that's not acceptable at any cost. I'm surprised Vineet still has contact with him. But then he is his father. So definitely he'll have contact with him. We can't stop him.

I don't know when I slipped into deep sleep while being in my thoughts. I woke up the next morning by my alarm. I quickly turned it off and then it hit me. I have my final today. I got and lazily rubbed my eyes and decided to get ready for the day.

I got ready and went directly to the campus. I was so early because I wanted to proofread one last time before my exam. I was walking through the ground when someone held my hand from behind. I looked back only to find Vineet.

"I'm sorry." He said and I looked at him confused. "Why are you sorry?" I asked. "For not giving you time lately." He said and paused before continuing. "And also for that day." He said and I hummed. "I know I shouldn't have-" he couldn't complete because I shut him off by placing my lips on his and pulling him into a deep kiss.

I know, I am hurt. But my love is way more stronger than to be angry at him. He is my safe place and no matter what, I'll always love him. I kissed him gently but he didn't respond. Feeling as if I am forcing myself onto him, I moved back when I was pulled by my neck into another deep yet passionate kiss.

He held me by my waist and his other hand held my jaw as if keeping my face in place for a better angle. I smiled into the kiss and he smooched me hard before letting go. "I'm sorry." He said again. "Say one more sorry and you are stripping right here." I said in a no-nonsense tone.

I looked up at him to see his eyes wide open in shock. "What?" I asked. "Your bluntness scares me sometimes." He said and we walked to our classes. The day went by again with Ahana and Swara having a discussion about Vineet's father. And to tell it wasn't pleasant.

Days went by and soon it was our 2 year anniversary tomorrow. I was so excited as I've been planning for it since so long. I wanted everything to be perfect and hence I was quite busy. Ahana called me and asked me to come to her home as her father wanted to meet me.

I was beyond happy as her father was one of the greatest criminal lawyers in the country. I quickly wrapped up my work and went to Ahana's place. When I reached there, Ahana was already waiting for me at the front porch. I went inside with her and greeted her father. We sat down and started talking about my studies and college. But soon, the conversation was diverted towards Vineet's dad. "I heard about what happened between Vineet and his father the other day at campus." He said. "I know, it shouldn't have happened." I said. 

"You know what, I think Vineet's dad is a very violent person. I mean if he could nearly raise his hand on him in public that too at a place where he has a reputation, think about what he might do when he is in a place alone with him. And Vineet doesn't look like a person who would offend his father." He said and that put me in a deep thought.

"But that's their personal matter and I don't think it would be appropriate if I speak about this matter." I said to him. "So you would let your boyfriend be treated like a trash by his own father?" Ahana spoke for the first time. "But I still don't think-" Mr. Madhav cut me off. "See I don't really think you should stay quiet about this. This is not a small matter. Raising hand is not a small matter." Mr. Madhav said and I know he is right. 

"I swear if my boyfriend's dad would have raised hand on my boyfriend, I would've killed him." Ahana said. We talked for a few more minutes after which I left for my home with a heavy thinking. 

Soon enough, it was the next morning meaning the morning of our 2nd anniversary. I woke up early and quickly picked up the bouquet that I bought for him and the gift I bought for him and rushed out to his apartment.

I reached his apartment before his waking time which is 7 am. I entered the house before picking up the cake I ordered to be delivered at his house at 6:30 am and went inside and set everything on his tea table.

Today I wore a beautiful red ruffle dress that ended just above my knees, with full knitted hands and a cute bow near my stomach. The dress gave away the cute vibes and I loved it because it was Vineet's favourite colour. I went into his bedroom and there he was sleeping soundly.

I'm sure with all the drama going on in his life, he must be too tired to remember the importance of today. I smiled looking at him and hugged him tight that he flinched and woke up. It was weird that he flinched but I shrugged it off.

He looked at me and again looked down turning the other side. It was very weird. Yet I decided to let it slide. "Happy 2nd anniversary baby." I said and hugged him again but this time he pushed me. I got up and looked at him shocked. It was very odd and hurtful.

"Winnie?" I said and looked at his face only to find it swollen. "What happened to you?" I gasped caressing his face. "Are you okay? Wait I'll bring any med for this." I turned around but he held me. "You don't have to. Leave." He said and I was more than hurt now.

"Why are you pushing me away?" I asked not understanding anything. "Just. Leave." He said and turned around. "But-" "Don't you understand English?" He said in a loud voice and I came out of his apartment in tears.

All the arrangements I did for him were on his tea table. I left them as they were and didn't even bother looking back. I went to the bridge I always go and stared at the lake in front of me. It was strange and totally non-understandable. I don't know why he did what he did.
