"US TOGETHER"

22.Bitter Past

AHMAN’S POV:
I mind paused when the lady named priya said Pratab I knew this name he was the one who broke my iniya’s heart and now she was showing her the proof the photos, but  could not stop her I don’t know why until Iniya was falling down, it activated my brain and I took control of her I immediately carried her and asked bob to get ready with my car and I could not bear the pain, knowing Iniya would leave me and I was chanting “Iniya please don’t leave me “ again and again until I reached my hospital and doctor including uncle when inside the room leaving me behind in a state which I could not describe”
And soon priya reached the hospital and asked me about iniya’s state? But I couldn’t reply her so I pulled her into my car and I took her to my office through private elevator she kept mum all the time and as soon as we reached my office she was looking into all the pictures carefully it was all the good times we spend together and she started talking “ this was how my pinku was ever charming ever inspiring,  loving, caring , smiling until that day I last saw her in a broken state I didn’t know that was the last day I would she her” and she started crying I was taken back and I said her “ hy priya I need a favour just tell me about her past “ and she asked me a question “ who are you to pinku ?” and I was taken back by the question she asked and I strongly replied “ I am her husband “ and she asked “ did she accept the marriage “ and now I know that I could not hide the truth from her for a long time so I said her everthing about us “ first she was shocked and then she said “ relationship build on lies will break easily brother and I don’t want my pinku to suffer again I will tell you everything about her past but you should give her diary back to her and give her space to read it and even after reading if she says ok to you, I knew her she will surely tell ok but give her some time …and I nodded my head as a sign of approval after thinking for some time and she started again
“ I first saw her during my high school when she first entered she looked like a nerd not very beautiful not very attractive and she sat near me and after some time she started taking and then our friendship grew she was such a girl full of positivity she never tops the class but will have extra knowledge and even when teacher scolds she never feels bad that was my pinku “ and we together will make all sort of nonsense in school. She use to be a care free girl I didn’t knew I loved her that much until our holidays. Because during the holidays she went to world tour and she usually never carries her mobile I started missing her all through the holidays and when she returned back to india I poured all my emotion and for then on we were inseparable, we together planned and choose same college though different department she chose psychology and my parents forced me into engineering but we use to hang on after college hours and I fine day she was really upset and when I asked her what was  that she said “Pratab proposed me and I accepted playfully but he thought it was serious “ myself and pinku’s classmate is Pratab so charming handsome studious playfull and what not he was the dream boy of our school but he proposed her and I was happy for her so I immediately hugged her and kissed her saying “idiot you are damn lucky then why are you feeling bad” and she asked “will I be fit for him ?”   and I said “ you will not, only I will be fit for him and I will go and propose for him “ and when I stood up she pulled me and you know she bitted me and after that those two were the cutest love birds they were so dependent o other and loved each other unconditionally “ and soon after finishing studies she got her job and even he was placed in a reputed organization and pinku’s family starte seeing groom a=for her and so was pratab’s family seeing suitable bride and they both talked to their families and reluctantly pinku’s parents accepted but pratab’s parents didn,t accept they called pinku many times and threaded her and she didn’t mind it and soon the day of marriage came but Pratab didn’t come she was waiting saying that he would come but he never came and the timing marked for the marriage passed you was she was looking damn beautiful in her engagement and that was the photo she kept in her facebook they never had two different social media accounts it was always one and since he didn’t come we both went two his home in wedding costume itself  and do you know what she said while going “  don’t know what happened to Pratab maybe he was ill or something bad would have happened to him she was always worried about him rather than her  and when we  reached his house it was all decorated and a maid said everybody is in the mandab(where usually the indian marriages happen kind of big hall” nearby comes let’s go fast  and we ran like crazy people and when we reached there we found Pratab in a completely Indian wedding attire tieing knot to other girl which means he is marrying another girl.
And she didn’t even cry she just left the hall and tried his phone number and after somewhat like 1000 calls he picked it up and asked “ why the hell re you disturbing me on my wedding day ?” and she replied “have a happy life and convey my wishes to your wife” and she ended her call and I dropped her in a hotel knowing taking her to home is not a good choice. And next day when I went to check on her she was not there and no were else  to be seen I was searching her everwhere and she didn’t even come for attending upsc exam to pursue her dream. and I came here for my business meet.
And she looked me and said “brother don’t cry I didn’t even tell you half of her painful journey.  Please take care of her brother “ and I nodded my head and she brother I have a request I have applied for pinku for the upcoming upsc exam and I want you to bring her to our school reunion because I want to show Pratab that pinku got a better husband please
