Chapter Twenty Eight

Jay:
"Sir, madam went outside and came just now. She is crying and not opening the door. She locked herself in the room."

"What? Ok, I am coming right now."

I went to the home immediately. I knocked on the door but Vidya didn’t open the door.

"Vidya, open the door," I said but of no response.

I tried for a longtime but she didn’t open the door.

"Please, open the door. Are you angry at me? That's ok, let's talk sweetheart. First open the door, please."

"I don’t know why are you not opening the door. If I do anything wrong, I am so sorry. Open the door, Vidya," I said, requesting her.

I begged her for a long time to open the door. I tried to break the door but I couldn't do that. I am so worried for Vidya. What happened to her? Where did she go and what made her cry? Did she approach any doctor? Is it the reason for her crying?

"Vidya, don’t make me too much angry. I can break the door and come inside, if you don’t open the door. After that I don’t know what I will do. Are you going to open the door or shall I break it?" I said to make her open the door. I hope she didn't harm her and she is safe.

I heard the sound of opening the door. I went inside worriey inside and shocked seeing the entire room as a mess. Everything was thrown down. I saw Vidya sitting on the bed crying and her face became red. I didn’t understand anything but rushed to Vidya and hugged her tightly seeing her in that stage. Vidya pushed me away.

"Don’t touch me. You are a liar. Stay away from me," Vidya said.

"Please, tell me what happened to you. I didn’t lie to you anything. Knowingly I didn’t do anything that hurts you. Tell me what are you talking about," I said.

"Why didn’t you tell me that I can’t become a mother and you are staying away from me because I am not well?" Vidya said. I closed my eyes understanding her pain.

"How did you know this? Did you meet the doctor?"

"Yes. Why didn’t you tell this to me, Jay? I doubted your character but even then you never said anything to me. Why?" Vidya said.

I hugged her and she cried.

"I am sorry. This all happened because of me. If I had listened to you, it would not have happened. I am sorry, Jay."

"It's ok. You didn’t do anything wrong. Don’t worry too much," I said.

"I can’t give you child. I can’t give you any happiness."

"I don’t want anything except you. You are my happiness. Nothing else is important to me. I am with you and will be with you forever. So, stop crying. Wash your face and have something. Worrying too much is not good for your health."

Vidya got up and washed her face. I made her to eat something but she is unable to eat and vomited it. Days are passing by but still I didn’t understand how to console her. Vidya became numb and lost her glow. I thought if I spend time with her and surroundings changed, she may become normal. I planned for a vacation to make her happy. I took the flight tickets and reached happily to home.


"Jay, I want to talk to you," Vidya said.

I felt very happy as she talked with me by herself. From the day she came to know about that news, she is not talking and just replying to me artificially. I immediately sat beside her and held her hands.

"Tell me, Vidya."

"You shouldn’t become angry after listening to that," Vidya said.

"I promise I won’t be angry," I said.

"You please marry Lasya. Because I don’t deserve to be your wife. I can’t keep you happy and I can’t……."

Her words didn't made me angry but hurt me so much. Does she think that I expect only physical pleasure and child from her and without that, nothing else existed between us? I love her. I love her truly. However, I want to make her understand that by herself.

Before she completes her words, I smiled.

"I am ready to marry Lasya. Actually that's a great idea. I will talk to Lasya about this," I said, controlling my feelings.

Vidya shocked listening to my words because she thought that I would be angry and will never agree to marry anyone else leaving her. She know well about me. But I accepted so easily leaving her confused.

"Ok. I will meet Lasya and will talk now itself," I said and left from there as I don't want to shout at her.

I reached the farm house. I took trip tickets and tore them. I became so angry and threw everything in the room. My eyes filled with tears. Marrying Lasya and leaving Vidya? How could I do that?

Vidya PoV:

After some time, Jay came home with Lasya. I felt uncomfortable seeing him with Lasya but I didn’t show it out to Jay. After all, I need only his happiness. Lasya asked me that she wants to talk with me personally. We went to the lawn and sat there.

"Vidya, Jay told everything to me. I am ready to marry him but..."

"But?" I said.

"You should stay away from Jay. You should divorce him. Only then I will become his wife legally. You should never meet or talk to him after my engagement with him. I can’t allow anyone to share my happiness. He should be mine forever and only mine after this marriage. Before my engagement, you should leave him. You will have no right over him, once I get engaged to him," Lasya said my eyes filled with tears. I will have no right over my husband. I should leave my Jay to Lasya forever. However, her conditions are justified. No girl would like to share her husband with anyone.

"I understand you, Lasya. No girl can share her husband with anyone else. I am ready to go away from Jay. But promise me, you will never hurt him and make him happy all the time," I said.

"I hate interference of others in my married life. I know what to do and what not to do. So please stop this nonsense and showing as if only you love and care for Jay," Lasya said.

Lasya went off from there and I was shattered completely. I sat there until 12 AM. Jay didn’t come there. Maid came and covered me with a shawl.

"Madam, please come inside. It's too cool outside and already it's 12AM," Karunya said.

"Where is Jay? Did he have his food? He might be waiting for me," I said.

"Sir had the dinner and slept in his room, madam."

I controlled my tears and went to the room. It's locked from inside. I knocked on the door and Jay opened it. I went inside.

"Where were you till now?" Jay said.

"I am….."

"It's ok. I don’t bother where were you or how are you. But just don’t disturb my sleep. Vidya, I think we should not stay together anymore. You please shift to another spare bed room tomorrow."

Saying this Jay slept and I lied on the bed thinking how could he change this much so fast. His care, love everything went off and he is not even talking with me properly. I cried and slept unknowingly. In the morning, I woke up and saw Jay getting ready to the office.

"Jay, I want to talk to you," I said.

"I don’t have time. I will talk later."

"It's important," I said.

"Tell me," Jay said.

"I.. I.. want.."

"Tell me fast, Vidya. I need to go."

"I want divorce," I said.

I was so scared remembering his anger in the past when I asked for a divorce. Jay came near to me and smiled at me.

"Thank you for remembering me about divorce. I will file the divorce soon. It's better to take divorce before marrying Lasya. There will be no legal complications for me further," Jay said.

Saying this he left and for a moment I didn’t understand anything. Thinking about Jay, I was walking on the stairs but slipped and fell down. My leg got hurt. Karunya called Jay immediately.

"Sir, madam fell from the steps and injured her leg."

"So, what should I do? She should be careful but always she will be so careless. Anyways apply some gel or take her to the hospital but don’t disturb me."

I shocked listening to him as Karunya kept it on speaker. Jay didn’t come home for three days and didn’t respond to my calls. As I kept on calling him, finally he received the call.

"Jay."

"Can’t you understand that I am busy as I didn’t receive the call? Why are you disturbing me? Don’t call me again."

Jay disconnected the call. I called Lasya and came to know that Jay is staying with Lasya.

How could he change this much? He is not talking to me. Not caring for me. Is his care, love everything action? Didn’t he love me truly? Maybe he still loves Lasya. He just respected this marriage and stayed with me till now. As a husband, he discharged his responsibility but never loved me. Initially I too accepted him just valuing this relationship but now I really love him. I love you, Jay. I love you so much. But you didn’t love me. Anyways I am happy to know that you will be marrying your beloved Lasya soon and will be free from this unwanted relationship.
