I hate/Love you.

chp 22 He hates her cause ..

It has been a while. Totally 5 month 22 days, today. Total days, that Arav haven't met Nitya.

Sure, he have talked with her several times. But all that time increased his confusion about his feeling. Standing in front of the door, seeing the person who you haven't seen in a while really don't goes well.

He never hoped to see her standing with smile on her face.

"Arav." She called his name same as she called for the first time

"Roshani." Arav nodded his head greeting her as well.

"Aren't you gonna invite me inside?" She asked still with the same smile. Though it wasn't fake, it wasn't real too.

"How did you know I will be here?" Arav raised his eyebrow at her.

"Well,I have my sources. Now, let me inside, I have a very important thing to tell you."

She asked Veera and Veer about him. And being Nitya well wisher,they gave the most confidential information- Arav's address to her.

Before Arav could ask, what she had to tell him, he saw Ryan walking towards them.

"Well, we are here with wedding invitation card." Roshani exclaimed with brightest smile.

"We-wedding? Whose wedding?" Arav's mind immediately told him not to think in that direction. Nitya can't possibly do this. Can she?

She can do this. Remember you told her that she is free? Didn't you? His mind scolded him. How foolish of me.

No! She can't marry anyone!

It should be okay, if she is marrying again... She has the right to move on, right?

No! She is yours! She can't marry anyone! You love her! Don't you? His mind was yelling at him. Telling him what he thought was never possible, Is true- Of course He loved her , that's was the reason He left all his work, just to protect her. It wasn't the case that needed his special attention, it wasn't even his case. But when he saw Niki sitting next to Veer, explaining the situation, he knew he have to protect her.

The day he saw her again, his heart told him, that he can't escape from his feelings. The feeling he was scared of, Love.

What happened in past, definitely have left an bad impression of love for him, but what he felt for Niya, is totally opposite. This love, isn't bad nor its painful, but it's lively and wonderful.

"Arav!" Ryan shook him to get his attention. "Where the hell are you lost? We didn't have time Ok, The wedding date has been fixed and you and your family is heartly welcomed. We will wait for your presence at -"

"She can't marry! Do you understand! She is Mine. " Arav didn't let Ryan complete his sentence and ran out of the house.

"-our wedding" Ryan completed after Arav left.

"Well, I think we should get back. There is going to be an entertainment show in few hours, don't you think?" Roshani said amusement.

*****

After exactly two hours and three minutes, Arav was standing outside Nitya's door.

"Nia!" Arav yelled for her not caring about anyone to hear.

"Nia!!" He called again, when he couldn't see her coming.

"Ni-"

"Why the hell are you screaming?" It was her voice. Niya came out the house with some people trolling behind her. Nitya couldn't believe whom she saw was standing. Cause For all, this could be a dream. Arav was least interested in were they. Even if they are the people from other planets, he don't give a damn.

"Nia..." This time he said it lowly, almost like a whisper, worshipping the name.

Nitya, stood there rooted to her place looking at him. Her blue eyes still shining in dark.

"A-Arav...?" She asked still in daze.

Before Arav could take a step ahead and grab her in his embrace, a lady in red Banarasi saree asked "who is he? And why is he screaming my would be daughter-in-law's name in this period of time?"

Nitya was too focused on Arav to listen what the lady just said, but Arav heard each and every world clearly. If there was rage in him before,now it was volcano eruption in him.

In next movement Nitya was snatched from them and now was hided behind Arav.

"She ain't your daughter-in-law. Do you understand! There is no wedding taking place here. Nia-is-my-wife. Do you understand,my wife!"

"Wasn't the wedding mutually disagreed? It was only because of case, right?" The lady spoke again.

Nitya was totally confused about what was happening,but whenever she tried interrupt, she was held back by either Arav's firm grip around her, or the lady telling weird things. But the last sentence by Arav, took a troll on her. Did he just said that? He said she was His wife.

"Arav..." Nitya touched his shoulder for him to notice her. He turned around taking her both hands in his.

"Nia, Nia, you ...you can't marry, Ok? Tell me everything that I'm thinking is wrong. Nia,..".

"And why can't I marry, huh?  It wasn't me who left. It wasn't me you hated the concept of Love, it wasn't me who told me that I was free from marriage, it wasn't me who told that Love is an illusion, that I shouldn't believe in something impossible. I wasn't the one who broke the promise to stay. Then why, now?" Nitya no longer could hold the question she wanted to ask. Her sentence bringing back all the words Arav once spoke. 

"Cause I Hate you.... I really Hate you, Nia." Each word by Arav were answered by the tears by her eyes. " I really, really hate you for making me
choose you as someone I trust, someone I want to spend your rest of the life, someone I can rely upon when I break, someone I... Love . I Hate you that I love you. You made me fall in love, Nia." Arav responded with the words that he understood now. Before meeting Niya, this words were like a myth for him, but now they are the like the reason for him to stay alive. "And also, cause you Love me. You can't leave me  because for you this marriage matters," He held her right hand high enough for her to see, "cause you still are married to me and this mangalsurta is proof for me." He showed the mangalsurta rapped around her wrist.

"You...you lo-love..."

"I do, I really do. Do you?"

"Of course you duffer, I do. I really Hate my heart for that but it still beats for you."

They were both looking in each other's eyes lost in there happiness that they forgot about the audience there. Ryan and Roshani too were now the part of audiance.

"I didn't knew my marriage will triger him in this way, for once I thought he wanted to marry me." Roshani said loudly enough to break the staring game of love birds, while Ryan tightly pulled Roshani in his embrace.

Nitya finally was looking Happy, genuine smile that was lost once.

"Your marriage?" Arav asked confused.

"Well looks like CBI officer didn't investigate. It's my daughter, Roshani's wedding with Ryan."  Roshani's mom replied while adjusting her red banarasi saree.

But the one that didn't spoke at all, were Niki and Ronit. And now all the eyes were on them, anticipating there action.
