The Fame Changed You - A Narbhi Story - Complete

~4~

Surbhi reached the mall with sunglasses on. Actually, before going to the mall she had stopped nearby and had just cried her heart out before joining her friends. She wasn't in the mood to go shopping but she wanted to meet them. As soon as she got there, they knew that something was wrong.

"Di, kya hua?" Shrenu asked rubbing her shoulder. Mansi cupped her cheek and moved her head, signing her to speak.

"Di is everything okay?" Neha asked and Surbhi broke down and hugged her lifelines tightly. They were like her own sisters and she didn't know what she would do if they weren't here.

"Nakuul he..he.." She said between hiccups and Shrenu decided that they'd better go to the loo to not create any scene. The trio wiped Surbhi's face, rubbing her back and whispering her that everything would be okay, even if they didn't know if everything would actually be okay.

"Nakuul, got a role in an upcoming TV show.." She began before blowing her nose.

"They told him to fake date the female lead.." Mansi gasped on hearing this, while Neha and Shrenu cupped their mouth in shock. How could they just do that to the couple?

"I hope Nakuul ref.." Mansi began... but Surbhi stopped her.

"He accepted, for three months. I know that it's his dreams but.. what about us? Should I really accept to be kept in the shadows while he'll be enjoying with this woman? Tell me guys, am I right in reacting like that if it's against his dreams?" Surbhi asked while fresh tears were adorning her beautiful face.

"Yes, you were," Neha said.

"We're not saying it because you're our friend but because you're his wife. You're right in fighting for your rights. Your right to say no, your right to show him as your husband in front of the world, your right to tell him that he's mistaken. Nakuul is not dumb. He will understand it. Just let him some time." Shrenu spoke her wise words and Surbhi hugged her in gratitude.

"Now stop crying, you're ugly when you cry!" Mansi said earning a smile from Surbhi.

"Thank you guys for being you!" Surbhi said and hugged them again. After adjusting her makeup and all she left the loo followed by her friends and they did some shopping. Even though she was angry with Nakuul she couldn't stop herself from buying a gift for him. After all, they were about to complete three years as a married couple. Their anniversary was the week after. As she bought him his gift, she prayed to the almighty that this third anniversary of theirs wasn't the last one as well.

As an anniversary gift, she bought him a watch with the letters S&N on the inside of it. She kept it in her purse and bought other things. She bought new sundresses since she noticed that she had put on some weight lately. She was being heedful of her personal appearance even though in reality she wasn't caring about how she looked. She was caring about it only because she was his wife and she wanted to have a good image next to him.

After a full day out, she finally reached home with a lot of shopping bags. He was busy on his laptop but as soon as she came in, he left everything and walked to her.

"Hi.." He said with his hands in his pocket.

"Hi." She answered and disappeared into their room. However, he followed her.

"Jaan, we need to talk... I don't want us to be angry.." He said with a tinge of deception in his voice.

"I need to rest." She mumbled and shut the door on his face. He leaned against the door for a while before walking back to the living room. He knew that it would be hard to convince her, but he didn't know that it would be that hard.

Meanwhile, Surbhi laid on their bed and just looked at the ceiling. Old days were better.. old days with just the two of them. Old days with just dreams in their minds. She closed her eyes and pictured herself at the beach. She was sitting on the sand and she could hear the sound of the waves crashing on the sea shore and the seabirds flying above her head. She felt at peace, for a while... A part of her had left that room and was relaxing on the beach. A part of her had completely forgotten that her marriage was falling apart.

Nakuul sighed as he fixed the wall. He was completely lost. He wanted to console her but how? He was the one at fault. He was the one who created the rift between themselves. But then he wanted to fix their couple but how would it be possible when she wouldn't let him try.

Precap: Narbhi patching up yaaay! ^^

Sorry for the delay, since My story For Her is still on-going I am stuck with both stories when I'll finish For Her, I'll focus on this account's stories ;)
