HIS SHATTERED SOULMATE || 18+

CHAPTER-4: don't punish me like this

AARMAN POV

I was standing infront of my mirror and looked at me one last time. I had dressed myself in a navy blue half sleeve shirt with black trouser. I collected all the documents that will be required for the deal. I picked up my wrist watch and walked out with a spark of determination in my heart.

I just want to win my Ruhi back

My whole focus was on fixing my watch on my wrist when I felt a delicate body crashed into me. I left everything and held her in my arms to prevent her from falling down. I saw that the woman in my arms was adorned in a royal blue poshak and her lips were visible from her veil. My attention when to her mole right at the bottom right of her lower lips

Ah, my Ruhi

My lips stretched on their own when I wrapped my arms more tightly around her. I moved my lips a little closer to her ear and took in her sweet floral aroma

" Ye kya kar rahe hai aap Hukum, choriye hume" she said as she tried to move out of my grasp. Her constant wiggling jerked me out of my lala land and but I didn't let her move out of my arms
( What are you doing hukum? Leave me)

" Why hukum? Why do you always want to move away from me?" I said as I whispered in her ear

" It want me who walk out of people's life Hukum but i am the one who get's pushed away very ruthlessly." Her words left me feeling guilty and I didn't even realised when she walked out of the corridor leaving me guilt stricken

I rubbed my palm on my face and brush off my unshed tears. I picked up my documents and moved towards the dining area. I saw all the ladies placing breakfast on the table while Mr. Sisodiya and Dhanraj were busy discussing news with eachother. I went and touched Mr. Sisodiya's feet as a sign of respect and took my seat deside Dhanraj

Bhabhi and aunty were serving their respective husband's and I was waiting for my turn when I felt a hand placing two pieces of steaming kachori on my plate. I gently bowed my head as I didn't want anyone to see fresh tears running out of my eyes, I felt a tear drop on the back of my hand when SHE was keeping a glass of orange juice.

I raised my head a little and looked at her. Even though her face was hidden behind her odni but still I could feel her gaze on me.

I am so sorry meri jaan

As if she heard what I just said in my mind, she walked away from me and moved inside kitchen. For the rest of the breakfast, she didn't came out even for a second. I was dying here to get a single glance of my SOUL.

" Hum chalte hai baba sa. Hukum ko aaj site visit Kara denge aur kuch engineer se discussion bhi karne hai woh bhi ho jayega" Dhanraj informed his baba sa. I stood up from my chair but before heading out I took blessings from Ruhi's maa sa.
( We'll take our leave baba sa. I will accompany Hukum on site visit and also have to discuss something with our engineers)

We went at the site and I was talking with the engineers when Dhanraj excused himself to speak with someone on his phone. Moment later he returned back- " let's head back Hukum, baba sa has something to discuss and he said that it's urgent"

In was somewhat around 2:00 when we returned back. Dhanraj and I parted our ways to move back to our rooms to get fresh and change our clothes to something comfortable. I moved out and looked around the corridor but then it strike me that she must me in school right now.

We had our lunch in complete silence as Mr. Sisodiya said he wanted to discuss something important with Dhanraj. I was about to move out when Mr. Sisodiya stopped me

" Aap bhi rukiye Hukum sa. Aap humare ghar ke mehman hai aur hum chahte hai ki aap bhi humari Khushi ka hissa Bane."
( You too can join us Hukum sa. You're our guest and we will be happy if you will a part of our happiness)

After 40 minutes

I walked inside my room and saw Ruhi following suits. I was feeling tired and head was hurting too much. I moved inside my room but didn't closed the door.

I lie down on my bed and closed my eyes. I couldn't stop myself when a single tear escaped from the corner of my eyes. Moment later, I heard that same sweet sound of golden anklet that Ruhi was wearing and then the door of my bedroom was banged close.

" Why are you here Ruhi? What if someone saw you entering inside my room like this, what will they think!" I said as my eyes were still closed. I didn't even turned around to face her.

" What are you doing here Hukum? Please, go from here. You heard what baba sa has said earlier and if they get to know that I had been close to you then the situation will be out of control. My name will be tarnished......this is not your city but a small town, where the traditions are still followed strictly" as soon as my brain registered her words my eyes snapped open.

She took few steps back when she saw blood appearing in my eyes. I was furious and my anger was solely aimed at me because whatever is happening, it is all because of me.

" So what do you want me to do? DO you want me to play a role of an spectator and let the LOVE OF MY LIFE get married to someone else. I am living my life like a dead body as my soul is standing infront of me.......I can't live without you Hukum." I said holding her shoulders in a firm grip.

My eyes were tearful and this time I didn't even stopped my tears from running out freely. I don't care if anyone thought low of me for crying

Mard kabhi rote nhi.......such a rubbish
( Humare ander bhi feelings hoti hai aur hume bhi usse khul ka dekhana aata hai)

I held her veil gently to lift up her odni to reveal her face to me. It has been months that I've seen her face but she held my hand and stopped me from moving further

" Nhi Hukum, aap aisa nhi kar sakte. Ab hum kisi aur ke hone wale hai aur.....aur hume dekhe ka adhikar hum sirf apne pati ko denge" she said while taking a step back, moving away from me
( No Hukum, you can't do this to me now. I am going to someone's else and....and I will only give this right to my husband)

I bend down on my knees as my head was bowed infront of her. I heard her gasp but didn't react-" tumhe mujhe Jo saza dena dedo. Tum mujhse meri jaan maanglo, meri dawlat maanglo, MERI IZZAT maanglo.....Mai sab tumhare kadmon mein lakar rakh dunga. Mai janta hun ki maine bahat badi galti ki hai.....galti nhi, paap Kiya hai....lekin mujhe itni badi saza mat do meri jaan."
( I will bear all your punishments. You can ask me for my life, my wealth, my dignity/honour......I will place everything on you feet. I know I've made a grave mistake....no, not mistake but a sin........ please don't punish me like this)

I slowly raised my head and looked at her, my gaze blurry due to tears. I joined my hands infront of her- " mere saath aisa mat karo Hukum, mai mar jaunga tumhare bina..............."
( Don't do this to me Hukum, I will die without you)

" PLEASE, YE SHAADI TOD DO "
