When A Fan met Her star [ Editing ]

Chapter 47 : Srishtis Concerns

Srishti sat on the bed. Hugging her knees closer to her chest. Her head leaned on to the headboard. Her eyes shed tears. As she kept herself lost in thoughts.

"This shouldn't have happened. Nothing shouldn't have happened. Why did he come into my life? Everything was going well. This was not destined to be. The whole marriage thing was not destined to be. I was indeed right. Whatever I was thinking. He's a superstar. And I'm just his fan. There's nothing more between us and never will be. He deserve someone far better than me. I don't blame shruthi for whatever she'd done. She loved her brother and so did her family. But my life? This shouldn't have happened. I'm no match for a person like him"

She kept thinking. All these thoughts kept rushing back to her. It left her devastated.

On the other hand. She felt a sudden urge to meet Arjun and talk to him. She was guilty. Angry. And in pain. So may emotions passed through her. She just wanted someone to hear her out. But sadly she didn't knew to whom she will share her feelings to.

"Srishti"a knock on the door. Broke her thoughts. She quickly wiped her tears. And face.

"Come in"

Kumari walked inside the room. And Srishti quickly got up from the bed.

"Srishti....what happened? Is your health okay?"Kumari asked concerned. Touching Srishtis forehead and neck. Checking her temperature.

"I'm fine Maa"srishti said.

"Then why didn't you come downstairs for dinner?
Shruthi told me that you are not well. So you are resting. The kids also didn't had their dinner properly. Without you"kumari said. Leaving Srishti guilty.

"I'm fine maa. It's just.....headache. I was resting"she lied. Looking at the ground.

Kumari held her hand and made her sit on the bed.

"You keep studying till late nights. You are also not sleeping on time. And not eating well. See you're spoiling your health now Srishti. Stop stressing out so much. It's just exams. And im sure you will score the best. But you should take care of yourself right. See I had promised Raju that I will take care of his wife while he is away. What I'm I supposed to say to him?"Kumari asked. Srishti gave her an awkward smile. And looked away without saying anything.

"Srishti....is anything bothering you?"Kumari asked. Srishti crushed her kurthi in her palms. To keep her composure.

"You know you can talk to me right?"

Srishti looked at Kumari. With her eyes welled up.

"Maa.....I want to tell you something"

"What's it dear?"

She took a breath and released it.

"I think...I should.....go back"she said. While Kumari looked on.

"Go back? What do you mean?"

"I think I should...go back home"she said.

"Srishti what happened? Is everything alright? Did anyone say something or....did Raju say something to you?"

"No maa. No one did"

"Then why are you talking about going back? See if you are missing your family. You can go and visit them. May be stay with them for few days. I'll arrange the guards for you. You don't have to worry about anything"

"It's not like that ma. I think.....I should not stay here anymore. You know how....how this marriage happened. I don't think I...I deserve to be here"srishti said. And looked at the ground.

Kumari sighed and held her hand

"Who told you this nonsense? That you don't deserve to be here? Srishti you don't know what you mean to all of us. You are a part of our family now. No matter how hard it is for you to accept. We had loved and welcomed you into our family wholeheartedly. See. Everyone likes you here. The kids won't be able to spend a single night without you. Everyone is so fond of you. And you've all the rights to be here. You are the daughter in law of this house. And you are Jais legal wife. Then tell me is it right for you to leave?"
