16: Paradise Lost

It is a time skip of almost 3 months since chapter 14.

........

She was waiting for him. Eagerly waiting for him. She came home early. She had read the news. Everyone was looking at her with weird expression while Ravi smirked like she was enjoying her horrifying expression.

"Humain Kuch din pahle kah Rahi thi naa k yeh Ghar iske pati k kharche se chalta hai, ab daikhti hun k yeh Ghar tumhara rahe ga bhi ya nahi." Ravi taunted but she didn't have time to argue with her.

She went straight to her room, hoping he would be there.

But he was not. When he had left her in her office, the first thing she did followed him but she had lost him.

After a while she decided to check him in his office but he was not there as well.

She was back at home but he was not there.

She wanted to break down. How? How someone like him just believe in the fake news. He was not some immature teenager who would react like this. Who will just believe a random journalist will publish.

She again read the newspaper and find anything which can indicate that this news was publish on her request. Well, the journalist claimed that it was her interview.

Yes, she was interviewed yesterday. It was her picture in the newspaper captured by the newspaper's photographer. They wanted some photos of her and Anubhav. She asked to Anubhav who was a little busy and journalist told her that she can provided him their old photos. Anubhav and she had very few photos together, but she had nonetheless provided some.

Everything was right but the news was not.

Everything was messed up. She tried to calm down. It was not like he couldn't be angry at her. It was normal, but he will return, she will tell him everything and they will sort out everything. she tried to console herself but couldn't.

She didn't know how she spent a whole day, called his secretary many times to know either he came back to his office or not but he didn't.

It was around 1 am when he came back.

As soon as she saw him, she rushed to him. "Anubhav, woh interview jhoot hai. Hum ne aisa Kuch nahi Kaha."

Anubhav didn't bother to look at her and went straight to changing room.

She followed him there: "humara yaqin kijiye. Hum such kah rahe hai."

Anubhav who took out his casual from the cupboard, looked at her coldly. "Woh interview ap ne nahi diya tha."

Haseena fumbled: "ji diya tha."

Anubhav (in still cold tone): "is main wohi batain nahi likhi hui thi Jo hum ne apko batai thi."

She nodded: "mgr iska yeh Matlab nahi k woh batain hum ne ki thi."

Anubhav nodded his head: "thek hai hum maan laite hain k woh batain ap ne nahi batai. Hum ne apni resources se pata Kiya hai. Is journalist se bhi pata Kiya hai. Hum ne Mishra se bhi bat ki hai. Sub ka kahna hai k woh batain ap ne hi journalist ko Kahi hai."

He stepped ahead: "thek hai hum Apne Dil ko bat mante hain aur maan laite hain k woh batain ap ne nahi ki." He took another step and she stepped back as her back collided with the cupboard. He continued: "hum maan laite hai k woh sub jhoote hain aur ap SuChi hai Haseena."

But clenched his jaw: "par hum Apne damagh ka Kya karain? Thek hai Kisi AUR ne yeh batain batai Hogi journalist ko. Par exactly wohi lafz ku istamal kiye Jo hum ne ap se kahe the. Har insan Kahani byan Karne k Liye alag alag shabd istamal karta hai naa? Inke pas wohi alfaz apki zaban main ku the Jo hum ne Apne kamre ki chaar dewari main kiye the. Bataiye iska koi jawab hai Apke pass."
