What's this relationship called?

(31)

Sometimes some undeniable emotion surpasses through us which leaves behind a mess of emotions.
The wave of this emotions hit us so high that it makes us think.
Thinking so deeply that leaves you nothing but another trick of mind that leads you to believe that whatever happened either it was entirely your fault or someone else.
Maybe that was what Nikhil was going through.
My mind wandered through various scenarios.Some scary,some sad.I didn't know what Nikhil might be going through.
Obviously he is sensitive about his mother.
I looked at my ring and it made my heart clench with sadness on thoughts of being away from mother.
A few months ago,I would have easily dialled my mom for all solutions.
But today I was afraid that one call might estrangle our what was left of relation.
It wasn't a big deal though,getting married.
I understood that they thought I was in love with Nikhil but why suddenly such rush?
I will never understand.
Had it shook us so much that we couldn't even meet again?
My tears fell before I wiped it and concentrated on the road.
If I was right,I was at the right path.
The place where Nikhil had always found peace.
Ananda
The name in Sanskrit meant bliss.It was a private property of Nikhil but there were markets,etc.
Last time,I was too angry to actually notice all this.
As I was near to Nikhil's mansion,I was stopped by the watchman before he saw me.
He saluted me and I drove into his mansion.
I parked my car and started looking for him.
There was no one.
I sighed and went towards the woods.
I hope I do find him.

It's been hours since I have staring at the scenario infront of me.
Nothing had really changed.
I remembered as I had brought Saira last time.
My hands instantly found the photo that I had been keeping in my purse for so long.
I looked at it again.
She was the most beautiful woman I think I will ever know.
Her kind heart was what made me remember her till now.
Or was it your love?
Or your desperation for her?
I couldn't help but sigh at the truth.
There was nothing that could be done.
I kept back the photo and took out my mobile.
There were scores of missed calls from Diya.
I didn't think this would be how my day would be ruined.
But her sake,I had to do something.
I took out my phone and dialled my trusted aide.
The call kept ringing until I heard him and instantly told him,"Find every intricate detail of Kartik.Yes,that's the one.I want the file to be ready by tomorrow."
If he is not right,he will be ruined by me.
I clenched my fists and unclenched it.
I looked at missed calls from Saira.But I was not in the mood to talk to her.
I know she will shout at me and give dozens of lectures.
I suddenly wondered why had I married her?
I shook my head and cursed myself for randomly thinking about it.
I instantly dialled my driver and told him,"Get ready.We have to reach airport in 1 hour."
Now that I think,I commanded him.
I instantly walked back to my mansion from my garden and told the guards,"I need you to close this place.Make sure we do not have any intruder."
Past these days,some of the media had tried to trespass the property.
Obviously I sued them and won the case.
Anyways,I changed into my suit and sat in my car driving off to airport.
My anticipation was building up to meet my best friend.
It had been so many years since we had met.
The poor guy was heartbroken from previous girl he liked.
I exactly don't know the reason but I am sure it was the girl's fault to not like him.
I mean come on!
He is handsome,rich,and intelligent.How could someone not like him?
This was the main reason why I had chosen him for my sister.
As I reached the airport,I patiently waited for him as I shuffled through various folders in my phone.
Suddenly I heard some noise and as I turned I was hit by cold water!
*Splash*
As I tried to regain my vision and my recent shock,I heard rich laughing noise.
I instantly recognised the sound.
Ladies and Gentleman,My idiotic best friend,Advay.
He was literally rolling on floor,laughing too hard while I glared at him.
"Dude,you should have looked at your face.You looked like a hyena."
He continued to laugh until he finally calmed down.
He came and hugged me and said,"Bro,missed you so much!"
I smiled at it and hugged him back,before smacking his head.
He winced and pouted.
Real mature.
We sat in the car and proceeded towards his hotel.
We kept talking as we caught old times.
He spoke,"I am glad dude,you moved on from your old love.She was idiot to leave you."
For a moment I frowned and realised I hadn't thought about her for last few days.
Strange.Why would I not do that?
Anyways I nodded as he spoke,"I wonder though sometimes,how does your wife handle your mood swing?"
He laughed at his own statement.
I just managed to say,"She is better than you."
He nodded and spoke,"So I never got the name.I mean sure you sent the card but I was busy..in something else."
I was suspicious that he was busy grieving for his last love.
Anyways,I was about to say her name when my phone rang.
It was Diya's call.
This time I decided to pick her call and spoke,"Hmm?"
I heard her frantic voice,"Bhai?Where is Saira?"
I froze.
