Sinner : Story Of A Curse.

Part 10

Nxt day everyone was busy in preparation of sangeet. Sumedh was still disturbed & was thinking of Nivi.
Rohan came there

"Aunty.. Wo ceremony hall tayyar hai.. Aap ya fir uncle me se koi ek aa ke dekh lijiye ek baar...Aarushi ki maa bhi aa rahi hai.. " Rohan said.

"Thik hai beta.. Chalo main ati hoon.. " Sid's mother said.

Rohan looked towards Sumedh. "Netaji.. ? Kya hua apko.. ? Aise akele kyu baithe ho..? " He asked.

"Kuch nai.. Bas aise hi.. " Sumedh answered.

Rohan nodded. "Chalo.. Hall dekhne chalo mere sath.. " He said.

Sumedh shook his head.. "Nai yr. " He said.

"Nai.. Chalo.. Abhi chalo.. " Rohan said adamantly.

Finally Sumedh agreed.

                       ************

Vedanti called Sumedh.

"Sumedh.. Listen na.. Meri pregnancy ki baat mat batao kahi.. Hamne ghar me nai bataya hai abhi tak.. Aur aise bahar batana accha nai lagta.. " Vedanti said.

Sumedh hummed.

"Kya hua tumhe..? " Vedanti asked.

Sumedh thought of telling her everything but he didn't.

'Nivi ka naam loonga to ise gussa aa jayega.. ' He thought.

"Kuch nai.. Main nai batata kahi.. Sid ki shaadi hote hi hum dono ghar me bata denge yeh baat.. " Sumedh said.

"Ok.. " Vedanti agreed.

                          *********

Rohan was seating in ceremony hall. Sangeet was about to start. Sid was already there. Everyone was waiting fr Aaru.

Aarushi came in hall with wearing a sky blue & golden coloured lehnga. She was looking really gorgeous. Rohan had himself designed every attire fr Aarushi. Vedanti & Mugdha were walking with her. She looked towards Rohan & gave a cute smile to him. Suddenly he remembered their days. That days when they were in love..

"I love u Rohan" Her angelic voice with same cute smile echoed in his ears.

He distracted his mind & looked towards Siddharth.

'Lucky man.. ' He thought.

                        *********

Nxt day it was ceremony of  haldi. Vedanti was really feeling sick. At morning she woke up & ran towards bathroom to puke. Mugdha ran behind her.

"It's ok Vedanti.. Relax.. " Mugdha said.

Aarushi was still sleeping. Vedanti sat on bed & drank some water.

"Aaru ko uthao na.. Haldi hai uski. " Vedanti said.

"Aaru.. Utho beta.. Jaldi utho.. " Sarita came.

She looked towards Vedanti.

"Kya hua hai tumhe beta..? Aaj kal bahot bimar lagti ho.. " Sarita said.

"Nai aunty.. Aisa kuch nai. " Vedanti lied.

"Dekho.. Jhoot mat bolo mujhse.. Sach sach batao.. " Sarita said.

"Are.. Maa se kya chupana..? " Aaru spoke in between.

"Kya chal raha hai tum tino ka.? " Sarita asked.

"Main batati hoon aunty.." Mugdha was about to say but Aaru disturbed her.

  "gaur se dikhiye iss aurat ko.. " Aaru said loudly pointing towards Veda. "Iske chehre pe jo glow hai wo kis wajah se ho sakta hai..?? Sochiye.. Sab sochiye.. " Aaru completed.
