Chapter 37: chapter 37

After hearing the whole story of Vaishali, Shaurya became a little worried. He gently held her hand and then made her sit inside the car while saying Shaurya: I know whatever I'm going to do right now I shouldn't do it but to save your reputation before Mrs Joshi spoils it in front of everyone I'll have to take this step.Vaishali: What are you talking about? Shaurya: We are getting married right now.Vaishali: What?Shaurya: Hmmm...Vaishali: What are you saying sir? Are you out of your mind? How can you say this..Shaurya: This is the only solution I see in front of me right now.Vaishali: What solution sir...this is not just a small solution...it's a big decision. I have already told you about my past that I am a divorcee.Shaurya: I don't care what you are and what not...but I don't want  you to face any kind of humiliation in the office tomorrow. Vaishali: That is my lookout sir...I have already been humiliated once so it will not be a big matter for me and if anything big happens then I'll leave this job..simple. I don't want you to show any kind of sympathy towards me just because I'm pregnant sir..Shaurya: I'm not showing you any kind of sympathy Vaishali. I just want to protect you from this mean world and moreover when this baby will come what will you say to him? Where is his father? When he will ask you about his father then what will you say? Vaishali: Sir, I have that capacity to handle my child alone. I can raise my child alone I don't need anyone for that. If I can be his or her mother then I also can be the father.Shaurya: I understand your perspective but this world will not understand it. Today Mrs Joshi questioned your character after this child arrives someone else will. How will you survive alone tell me. I know you are capable enough but I just want to take this child's responsibility. I want to give him or her all the happiness they deserve. I want to give a father's love to the child. Please...Vaishali looked into Shaurya's face and noticed the sincerity, and a genuine concern for her in his eyes. For a moment she got lost in those deep eyes of his.Shaurya: Don't think that after marrying you I'll take any kind of advantage..I'll always remain the way I'm right now. I just want to give happiness to the upcoming child of yours. Vaishali: But sir...Shaurya: Ssshh...He placed his index finger on her lips and as soon as he did that Vaishali felt a jolt of thunder running inside her body. A weird kind of sensation ran around her. His touch had magic, she felt a different feeling which she did not feel when her ex husband Nitin touched her. She did not said anything further and just kept mum. Shaurya looking at her again asked Shaurya: Are you ready for this marriage?She hunged her head low while nodding in yes. Shaurya smiled when he got a positive response from her side but then he thought in his mindShaurya: Why am I smiling so much? This marriage is nothing just a responsibility for me then why am I feeling so good?Before leaving he gave a call to Ayesha and dadu and told them each and everything. At first both of them became totally shocked hearing that Shaurya is getting married but then they became really happy. He asked them to be present in the nearby temple where they will get married. Here Vaishali was damm nervous because she was in total dilemma and she felt like a dream whatever was happening right now. Vaishali(in mind): Should I really do this? Am I doing the right thing by agreeing to this marriage? She then looked towards her belly and caressed it again thinking Vaishali: If this marriage gives a security and happiness to my baby then I'll surely do this. I'll do anything to protect my child. Shaurya drove the car and soon they reached near the temple where they are supposed to get married. Shaurya got down quickly and then opened the door for Vaishali. She too got down but her whole face became sweaty because of the nervousness. Shaurya: Let's go. They went inside and found dadu and Ash already present there. They were eagerly waiting for them and when they saw both of them they smiled while Ash said Ash: Come here Vaishali, she took her and then made her sit near the holy fire. Shaurya too sat there and with each passing time the ritual was going on finally it was the time for Shaurya to apply sindoor on her hair partition. He took a pinch of that but his hands were kind of shivering and he didn't know the reason of that. Finally he applied that on her head.Vaishali closed her eyes remembering the moment when she got married with her ex. A lone tear escaped her eyes but she quickly wiped it. Noticing that Shaurya asked herShaurya: Are you fine? She just nodded and then rest of the ritual was also over. Finally both of them became a couple. They took the blessings of the god and then of dadu. Dadu: May you both be always happy together and no obstacle should come in your way. This is my only wish.Ash: Finally Bhai...you are married thought not in a grand way but atleast you choose to not remain single anymore..but I don't understand what made you to take this decision suddenly?Shaurya narrated them the whole incident and how Mrs Joshi insulted Vaishali and all those. Hearing this Ash and dadu became angry while Ash saidAsh: I'll not leave this Joshi...how dare she? I'm sure she must have heard it when me and Vaishu were discussing it in the canteen.Shaurya then went towards dadu and said with a serious toneShaurya: dadu..I'm sure you are thinking that why did  I decide to marry Vaishali and that too by today itself..it's just because I don't want her to be humiliated again tomorrow. I don't want anyone to raise any kind of questions on her character. I just want the baby to lead a happy life and that he or she shouldn't question her about their father afterwards. Just thinking about that I took this decision.Dadu: You did a very good job Shaurya..I'm proud of you and moreover since the time Vaishali started staying with us that very moment I had a thought about this but then I did not said anything because I was worried about your reaction. I'm so happy that God heard my thoughts without me telling him anything.Shaurya and Vaishali just smiled in return. Ash came to them and said Ash: now come on let's go back home we will have to welcome the new bride...isn't it dadu...Dadu: Yes Yes exactly...Shaurya you and Vaishali come home after sometime. Let me and Ash go first we will be ready with all the preparations. After that you both come okay. Shaurya: Hmm...Saying this dadu and Ash left in their car while Shaurya and Vaishali decided to wait here for some more time.
