His Love

Chapter - 10 : Her Arrival

~Ruhana~

We moved to a restaurant near the beach. Vineet told me that it's the top restaurant in Thailand. I chuckled with joy as I had a passion for food. I loved trying different cuisines, and today was the chance. I looked at him as he led my way into the restaurant. He had a small smile on his face and it was enough for me to stay happy. Atleast, he’s trying to be happy. Moreover, he may tell me the real thing.

We reached the hotel and grabbed a corner seat. The restaurant had glass walls and it was easy to look outside. I already told him that we’ll try some Thai cuisine , and so he placed the order. He also told me about where we’ll be visiting the other day.I was glad with the change in him. Meanwhile, someone approached us and patted Vineet’s shoulder. He turned to look at the person and was shocked to see her.

Her! Yes, a girl had approached them. The smile on his face turned into a frown.

"Kya hua? Pehchana nahi mujhe?" she asks.

"what are you doing here?" he asked coldly.

"Vacations ke liye aayi thi, pata nahi tha, tum yahan miloge!!" she said softly.

He smiled at her

"Tumhe waise bhi kabhi mujhme interest na raha. Toh ab kya karne aayi ho?" he said sarcastically.

"Vineet, I didn't know you then. But I know you now." she said reaching for his hands.

He jerked her hands and got up looking at me…

"Ruhana, let's go." he said.

I was confused to see that stranger girl. She was trying to be cosy with my husband. He jerked her hand, and held my hand and we moved out of the restaurant. She called his name but he didn't pay heed to her. I was left confused.

We reached our hotel. I saw him sitting on the bed with head in hands. I sat beside him…

"Kya hua? And who was that girl?" I asked.

He didn't reply. It seemed that he was not in a mood to talk. I sat beside him…

"Maine kuch pucha Vineet. Who was she?" I asked.

"meri college friend." he replied briefly.

"Dost itne cosy nahi hua karte Vineet." I said.

He sighed deeply. I looked at him and took his hands in mine.

"Kya problem hai Vineet? Tum already pareshan they aur ab wo ladki. Usse milne ke baad  tum disturbed ho gaye ho. Batao kya hua? Kaun hai wo jisne tumhe itna pareshan kardiya." I asked him.

He looked at me… "You won't believe me." he said softly.

I eyed him. I already told him that I am his friend before being his wife. As his  wife, I wanted to know about the girl, but before that I needed to make him comfortable, so that he could tell me everything.

"Vineet, I have already told you everything. Tumhari biwi toh hoon hi, par usse pehle dost hoon. We are childhood friends, Vineet." I said.

He nodded his head, yet his eyes were on the floor. I turned his face towards myself.

"mujhe bataoge kuch? You needed time, I gave it to you. Ab mujhe jaanna hai. How is that girl related to you? What is bugging you? We can take out some solutions together." I said while looking at him.

"Aur agar tum mujhe nahi bataoge toh I have other ways as well. Maa puchengi toh kya jawab dungi main?" I asked.

Maybe, he will tell me something. He already asked me to keep our talks between us. He didn't want to tell anything to his or my parents. I have kept his words always. But I  can't see him sad anymore.

He sighed and looked at me. He took my hands in his and squeezed them softly. After a brief silence, he spoke something that left me shocked and surprised equally.

To Be Continued.
