Mein bekhabar tha ki Mera intezaar ghar mein raha

Ye haadsa tha ki mein Umar bhar Safar mein raha 🍁.

Chandni pov-

I fell on my knees and watched him leaving with tears in my eyes.

Aa_p mu_jhe ga_lt sam_jh rah_e h, i whispered and started crying by burying my face in my knees .

I don't know how long i was sat like that and cried and when i heard someone footsteps and felt like someone coming here,i quickly wiped my tears off my face.

I do not want any member of the house to see me like this and ask me any question because at this time i know I'm not in a position to answer any questions and also will not able lie if someone ask me why i am in this condition i know these tears of mine going to betray me today.

I quickly stood up and made my way to my room through the back door  and after reaching my room, i quickly locked my room's door and slided against the door and hidded my face in my knees.

He think I'm after his for money but

I don't even know who he is, what his name he think i forgot what happened that night or i should  forget what happened that day but how can I forget the night my destiny was linked with him and how we were bound in a sacred bond that night, mein kaise bhul jauoo ki kya rishta h humare bich, i held my mangalsutra in my hand and cried .

Chandni whispered these lines .....

kaise bhul jauoo tumhe

Tum wo Khwab ho

Jo meri haqqeet se Jada khubsurat h

Chandni pov-

You know naa Mata Rani i just wanted to know that whose name do i wear this mangalsutra, i don't want anything from him.

In the last 2 years, unknowingly i missed him i don't know why but i missed him the person whom i had met only once but he think so wrong of me It's not his fault what can person do if someone is forcely bind with you without your permission anyway, it was my decision to perform this marriage alone then i shouldn't expect anything from him  ,I was thinking when i heard my phone ringing i got up slowly and went to the bed where I had kept my phone.

I saw that Ahana was calling i know if I don't answer the phone she will come here looking for me taking a deep breath and after controlling myself i picked up the phone.

Where are you Chandni everyone is waiting for you for dinner, she said in one breath while talking to her i went towards mirror and saw my face my eyes were swollen from crying and if I go like this, everyone will know for sure that i cried and what if he was here, he will think i'm following him he already warned me to not come in front of him and his family .

And all the guests may not have gone yet, that means probably his family and he will also present there and it's not right for me to go there when i didn't say anything for a minute Ahana again called my name on the call.

Chandni say something, Ahana said.

what can i say now i can't go there and i had no choice so i lied.

Woo Ahana, i was having a slight headache, so i came to my room, i said controlling myself .

Wait i am coming, is it hurting too much ? even you're voice sounds different , She asked .

No, there is no need for that i am fine, just take a little rest it will be fine, i said .

but you haven't had dinner just wait I'll bring dinner for you, she said .

no its not needed i have dinner, now i am going to sleep and please don't tell anything to aunty else she will be get worried , i said.

ok but call me if you need anything, she said and i just hummed and cut the call.

I sat down on my bed and remember what happened a few minutes ago unknowingly he broke my fast, I don't know whether i should happy or sad.

But I've got one thing confirmed, he doesn't want to have any relationship with me,i should stay away from him maybe that's right for both of us like i promised myself earlier that i will not expect anything from him regarding our marriage,i know it's going to be hard for me to forget him.

Whenever I used to see Mr Ajanbi in my dreams he smile with me ,we spend time together i know it was just dream' but in two years i used to be happy whenever i see him in my dreams but i know this dream of mine will never come true .

Kaash ye humhari aakhri mulakat hoo Mr Ajanbi .

While thinking all this Chandni falls asleep in a sitting position with her head on the headrest of the bed.

She wished that to never meet her Mr Ajanbi again, but she did not know that her this wish not going to fulfill.

Chandni pov -

I opened my eyes when the sunlight fell on my eyes and i sat on the bed hyy Mata Rani why i am feeling so weak and this headache then touched my head with my both hands to ease the pain.

Then i suddenly remember everything that happened last night, and a lone tear escaped from my eyes.

forget it all this Chandni first eat something I haven't had anything since yesterday because of which i think i am feeling weak and then i looked myself I'm still in yesterday clothes and still wearing all the ornaments .

i took off my anklets and i slowly got up from the bed because of weakness and went towards my venity then i took off my bangles and i was about to take off my earrings when i saw that one of my earrings was missing.

And went to the bed and looked for my earings everywhere in my room but I couldn't find them.

did i lost my favourite earings, I've already lost my favorite anklet that dadi gave me now my favourite earings why does this happen to me i can't even wear them without their pairs.

I should check once in the garden, maybe i will find it there i quickly went towards my wardrobe and took out my clothes.

(Chandni dress)

After getting fresh and wearing my clothes, I came out of the washroom and quickly went towards the vanity and did my daily chores and left my hair open then went towards my bed and weared my anklets .

i again saw myself in the mirror to see  that my wedding symbols are hidden or not and then put on my red bangles and after seeing my henna claided hand i remembered Mr Rathore name written on my hand.

i put the handyplast back on my hand Please Mata Rani remove Mr Rathore's name from my hands i do not know what will family members think if they sees his name on my hands.

and after that i left my room and started going downstairs and when i went downstairs, i saw there was no one in the living room so i went straight to the garden where i met him yesterday.

As i was going towards the garden, I started feeling strange again like i always feel whenever Mr Ajanbi is around

Mujhe aise kyu lag raha h aap yehi kahyi h Mr Ajanbi, unknowingly i touched my mangalsutra and started walking towards the garden area,with every step i take, my restless is increasing .

Ye kya ho raha h mere sath? , I was standing in the garden thinking this when i heard dadi voice.

Chandni beta why are you standing come here ,dadi said and i turned where the sound came from and saw that dadi and dadu were sitting there on the bench and there was someone else also present there i couldn't see his face because his back was facing me.

and I started walking towards them and as soon as i reached him i touched there feet for blessing and stand there.

What happened Chandni , dadi asked and asked me sit beside her.

Woo dadi meri earings nahi mil rahi And i think i dropped it somewhere in the garden, i said and felt like someone was staring at me.

And when i tried to see who was looking at me like that, i heard Adi's voice and my attention went towards him.

Good morning everyone, Adi came and shouted in a loud voice .

Good morning everyone, and again we heard loud voice of Ahana and Aditi ,and they runned towards us then sit beside me.

Chandni how is your headache? Are you fine now? , Ahana asked and before i tell them I am fine, everyone started asking what had happened to me.

Nothing happened, I'm fine, i just had a little headache yesterday ,i lied and remembered what happened yesterday and thinking of him brings tears to my eyes .

But I controlled myself so that tears would not fall from my eyes and again i feel like someone's looking at me with intensity and when again i tried to check who is looking at me like this Aditi's voice stopped me again

Are you sure you are fine naa because last time also you said the same thing, after that you had fever, don't you remember , Aditi said.

Chandni Beta your face also looks sad,i feel you are not well, dadi said and touched my face.

Dadi mein thik hu , i said and held her hand .

Chandni show us you're hand we haven't seen you're henna design , Ahana said and that make me nervous.

If they saw Mr. Rathore name in my hand what will happen then .

Dikhao na Chandni, Aditi said and took my hand in hers and started looking at my henna claided hand's.

Ye kya hua Chandni? , why did you put this plaster , she said and tried to touch it

i got hurt that's why, i said and made sure that no one touches it .

Chandni, the color of your mehandi is very dark,completely dark red color has come ,dadi dekhye , Ahana said and showed my hand to dadi.

Looks like Chandni will get a very loving husband, jo tumse bahut pyar Karega, dadi said and i remembered him.

Woo mujhse kabhi pyaar nahi karegye pyaar ki baat dur ,he doesn't even want to see me face ,he don't even don't even consider our marriage real,i was thinking this when Adi's voice make me came out of my thoughts.

Abeer Bhai you have been watching us since then, come here naa, adi said and someone come towards.

Mr. Rathore ,he here if by mistake he sees his name on my hand Mata Rani please save me ,I thought and fisted my dupatta in my hands.

I was feeling his gaze on me but I didn't dare raise my head and look at them,his gaze making me shift in my place little ,why he is looking at me like that ,i thought and dared not look at him.

Dadi jo aapne kaha kya wo sach h ? ahana asked and dadi was about to answer when unfamiliar voice that feel like familiar to me interrupt us .

Bacche it's must be myth and i think all these things are not true , that person said.

Why does this voice sound familiar to me? ,I thought.

Abeer ab mein ye nahi kahungi ye sach h, but the truth for the one who accepted it and the lie for the one who did not, dadi said and i looked  straight to see mr Rathore and my eyes met with him.

Mr Ajanbi, i whispered.

That means Mr Rathore is my Mr Ajanbi.

I kept looking into his eyes but the voice of suhana aunty came and that broke our eye contact.

I am living in a Mr Ajanbi house from months and all these people are his family members that means i have been living with my in-laws form five months.

I mustered up the courage to look at him again and i saw he was already looking at me and the anger was clearly visible in his eyes and after seeing his anger i immediately lowered my eyes.

Ab mein kya karu ,he will again misunderstands me.

Aap log yahan h and I've been waiting for you all at the breakfast table, suhana aunty said.

Badi maa aaj aapne naste mein kya banaya h? Adi asked and i just wanted one thing at that time, run away form there .

Which Abeer likes now let's all go inside for breakfast, suhana aunty said and went inside with dadu and dadi

And i quickly stand up so that i can get away from him as soon as possible.

Chandni di, wait you haven't even met Bhai ,adi come and take my hand and led me to him and then made me stand in front of him.

bhai meet chandni di the fourth member, adi said laughing.

Bhai, Chandni is our best friend , Aditi said and come with Ahana then they stand beside me.

And after a second of silence he spoke.

Abeer Singh Rathore, he said and extended his hand for handshake .

Should I shake hands with him or not, and if I don't, then what will he think about me .

With having no choice, slowly i extented my hand towards him.

Chandni , i said without looking at his face and don't know why my voice came so low.

He took my hand in his which i extented towards him and i looked at him as I felt pain on my hand and saw then he was glaring at me.

Ms or Mrs ,he asked looking straight in my eyes and i looked up to him in Confusion.

I mean are you married or not, he asked while squeezing my hand and i felt the pain again .

The person who is my husband ,asking me whether i am married or not and then i saw Adi ahana and Aditi were looking at both of us in amusement

Miss Chandni Sharma, i said and tear escaped from my eyes and i quickly  released my hand from his hand and wipe my tears then went inside without saying anything.

Kii kaash ye khayal hi hota !!!
