Chapter 31: chapter 31

Prithvi, when entering their bedroom found Sanyogita was sobbing. She was looking very tired and disturbed. Since he got back from the accident always tried his best to keep her happy, but never expected that she had to go through so many things only because of him. How much patience she has, He accepted Love has the power to strengthen anyone to endure everything.Hearing the footsteps of him , Sanyogita wiped her eyes and face, and she tried to put on a fake smile.He walked to her and took a seat beside her. ,Jaan,  now let's go, we have to have our dinner !! ""  I don't want to eat, I'm not hungry" she lowered her voicePrithvi cupped her face in between his palms and said " But you haven't eaten anything since the afternoon…not even you had lunch" he quipped" No, I had my lunch," Sanyogita said " Really, but I saw you get ready for the reception party after breakfast .. you take an entire day for only makeup," he joked he did that intentionally to make her smileSanyogita looked at him with a gap. " Noo…I didn't take much time. Those beauticians take only one and half hours for my makeup and 1 hour for a hairstyle. " ..The expression on her face was so cute Prithvi was smiling deep down. Yet he raises his brows to irritate her more" Achaa…But why I couldn't believe my wife got ready within two and half hours.. quite impossible. " he made an unbelievable face" Everything is possible..my dear husband," she puffed out her face "Okay, let's see." Prithvi started to pull the cheeks of Sanyogita , she slapped his hands, but he didn't stop.Sanyogita hit Prithvi's shoulder, but he pulled her closer to him. Both of them fell onto the bed. She was on top of him.Both of them looked at each other. Prithvi enclosed his arms around her, She gazed at him and lowered her eyes with shyness. For a moment, neither of them said anything.“Jaan takes some food “Prithvi stroked her hair strand when she kept her head on his chest“ I don’t want to.." she was stubborn in her place“Please only for me.. I am hungry too ..you know if you don't eat, I'll skip my dinner."Seeing his moist eyes, she agreed with him "okay I'll""That's like a good girl," he kissed her head." Jaan, before that, I have something for you."" What ?" She looked at him confused" Wait.. just close your eyes,"She gave a blink .He put her hand on her eyes. They stayed on the bed. After a while, Prithvi told her to open her eyes.Sanyogita was astonished. It was two pretty diamond anklet chains.." Woah!! It's beautiful, " she exclaimed while creasing her hands over it.Prithvi smiled gently as he put the chain on her legs after removing the previous one.As his lips grazed the gentle curve of her legs, Sanyogita's cheeks flushed with shy delight. She instinctively pulled back, but Prithvi's firm yet gentle grasp held her in place.His lips tickled across her skin, sending shivers down her spine. Her eyelids fluttered closed, surrendering to the tantalizing sensations."Thank you," she whispered, her voice barely audible.Prithvi's eyes sparkled with mischief. "Only, thank you?" he teased, his breath tickling her skin.Sanyogita's fingers intertwined with his, fondling the nape of his neck. "What do you want?" she asked, her voice laced with playful curiosity.Without warning, he swept his wife into his arms, cradling her against his chest. Their gazes met, and he was lost in the depths of her stunning eyes."Give me one of the best smiles of yours ," he whispered, his voice husky with adoration.Sanyogita's gaze drifted over his chiselled features, drinking in the beauty of his face. Her eyelids fluttered, and she nestled her head into the crook of his shoulder.………..Two hours later, the same nightPrithvi's phone call with Officer Rajan ended with a sense of satisfaction. "Sir, we've apprehended the three boys you reported," Officer Rajan announced."Good," Prithvi replied, his voice firm. "You know what to do with them.""Absolutely, Sir," Officer Rajan assured. "They'll never harass another woman again."Prithvi's determination was unwavering. "Ensure they face the full weight of the law."Officer Rajan's response was resolute. "Already done, Sir. Twenty-two cases, including seven years' imprisonment. Their reign of terror ends tonight."Prithvi's eyes narrowed, his mind still on the perpetrators. Those boys would never again threaten Sanyogita, the woman he loved.The darkness outside seemed to recede, replaced by a sense of justice served.Prithvi's on-call not only arrested those three local goons who teased girls each other day and also involved in May sort of antisocial act, snatching, robbery, threatening and many more. They were seen behind lockup with more than twenty cases including 5 years imprisonment. After disconnecting the call, Prithvi informed Arjun of his PA to take his invitation card to the manager of the  MTC News  channel.When the manager opened the envelope, he got frightened. Within a fraction, he got a call from his boss. #####Prithvi returned to his bedroom and found Sanyogita sitting on the bed. Under the red dim light."Hey, Jaan, are you still there?"Prithvi moved closer to her and pulled her in his arms"Where have you been for so long ??" "She asked, keeping her head on his shoulder" Jaan, I was just talking with a few of my business partners," he liedShe looked at him, still not convinced " in this late-night."He chuckled. " Jaan, you know na in the business world when is day or when is the night?" Prithvi tried to cool down the environment. He didn't tell her  exactly what he had done. He didn't want a single trace of tension, gloominess , to touch her .Sanyogita nodded her head and hugged him tightly. " I know you have a lot of work to do. I'm proud of you. We soon joined the office together. "" Yes, we'll  soon." Prithvi touched his forehead against her. " it's too late. Now we have to sleep." He understood she was convinced with his answer.She nodded her head. He kept his head on the pillow and pulled her closer to him. She rested her face on his chest while hugging him tightly.…………Late at night, Rishi, who was sleeping in his room peacefully, got a call from the manager "  Mr. Rishi I'd like to inform you that, meet me urgently in the office unless you have to lose your job"Rishi couldn't understand if it was a threat or a prank. But he knew his boss was that creature who would hardly laugh in a year.Rishi visits the news channel office, where he gets the news that he had a promotion. "Mr. Rishi, you are suspended for 3 months. " Prithvi didn't want to harm Rishi. Rather, he wanted to teach him his mistakeBut he was also alerted to his man. In future, no other opportunity knocked on the door of Rishi .He didn't get a job in other news channels too. Unless things wouldn't go well . Being a reporter, Rishi must ask the public, but the way he harasses his wife , this punishment is nothing in front of it.Now, he would explain to his family and neighbours why he got suspended.………... Due to last night's incident, Ariyan thought it would be not to tell his brother about Mira as he was already disturbed, so he thought to tell him when the situation would be normalised.In the morning after breakfast, Sanyogita told Ariyan to tell Prithvi about his and Mira's relationship, including everything about her. Ariyan made up his mind to talk to his brother.At first, Prithvi was upset as Ariyan hid such a serious issue, but hearing the reason he hugged his younger brother to comfort him. Whatever Ariyan did for the sake of their family and also for his brother…in the evening, three of them reached the hospital. They met their Meera. Both Meera and Sanyogita recognise each other, as per the photo shown by Ariyan to each of them ."Hi!! Meera " Sanyogita hugged Mira, who was looking very distorted and gloomy.Meera greeted Prithvi, who gave her a consoling smile. They met her father, who was now surrounded by equipment. His condition was looking very pathetic.Mira's mother comes to meet him every day..soon they have decided to shift him to their house . Sanyogita talked with Mira "Bhabhi ..why do you two come now?" " She hesitated" Why can't you?? Soon, you'll be a part of our family. It's an honour for me as a strong-headed woman like you going to be my devrani. "" Sanyogita kept her hand on her palm Mira as an assurance " Don't worry, we are all here,"Meera tried to bind her tears ..as since her father died, she didn't cry in front of anyone as she has to be strong . Now, she was totally alone in her world. Meera nodded her head, and Sanyogita patted her cheek." Ariyan told me everything, and I am proud of you.. don't think about anything ..come to us .. everyone is there for you, okay? " Meera nodded her head. She was glaring at Sanyogita for how easily she accepted her and told her she is part of their family too before meeting every one of the Malhotra family.They have a very brief description as it was a Hospital and being a forensic pathologist. Meera had a lot of duty. Mira requests both Prithvi and Sanyogita to come to her house on her day off . As of today, she had a night shift, too. Nevertheless PrithviSanyo both requests her and commands Ariyan to take Meera to their house one day. Everyone will be happy seeing her .......One week has passed since the marriage of Prithvi and Sanyogita.It was 8 in the morning, and the items of luggage and trolley bags were kept in the trunk of the car.“Sanyo, hurry ..unless we” ll be late for flights “ Prithvi shouted from the ground “Yes,..I’m coming …just a while “ Sanyogita shouted back. She was talking with Shambhavi and Anannya.Annaya caressed her hand on the head of Sanyogita in her mother's affection and gave her advice “whatever I have told you keep those things in mind, honeymoon is the most intimate time in the life of newly married couples. It’s the time you will get plenty of time to explore each other. I know you two know each other so much that hardly there is a thing unknown to both of you, but still in my advice many more things are waiting for you to discover, which will create lots of memories. Life is one of the biggest gifts of God, and getting your love of life as your better half is the blessing of life on the other side. Don’t be shy there, I know Prithvi will never leave anything to make his wife happy. All the best beta “ Annaya patted her right cheek and put a kajal tika behind Sanyogita's neck. She kissed her forehead. Sanyogita heard every word of her from her heart and hugged her.After breaking the hug Sanyogita took blessing from the elders and when she touched the feet of Shambhavi, she gave her blessing with a sweet word of her and caught the chin of Sanyogita in her right hand and teased ““Honeymoon se Laut te hi kahi nursing home na doudhna padhe “ Sanyogita got shy from her core and hugged her grandmother with blushes “ Dadii!!!Shambhavi stroked her hands on the back of Sanyogita and said “ Array arrey , see how she is blushing “ Shambhavi grinned, looking at Anushka and Annanya .Everyone grinned more.“Bye Bhabhi, Bye bhaiya !” Anushka shouted with giggles, Ariyan was there to wave his hands towards his brother and sister-in-law Sanyogita took a seat in the car, beside Prithvi .. The family members wanted to give privacy to the newly wedded couples so they didn't join them till the airport. They bid bye to their sweet family, and the driver started the engine and looked forward to the airport.On the way, Prithvi held Sanyogita’s hand when she was repeatedly tugging her hair behind her ear. Prithvi knew about this gesture from her. She did it either if she was irritated by her baby hair strands or something running through her head that left her blushing. During that period, the rosiness of her cheeks gave a hint to Prithvi, so he asked her in a teasing manner,“Hey, Jaan, what happened ?? Why are they blushing so much ?? Don’t tell me that you are daydreaming about our honeymoon ??’’ he teased her with a naughty laughSanyogita rolled her eyes, she was blushing at the remark of Shambhavi but hid it as if Prithvi got a trace about it he would never leave a chance to make her blush then she would totally turn into red gulab jamun. Although she controlled her blushes and turned her face to him “No, my dear husband, you are absolutely wrong !”” she replied with confidence “Ohh!! Really, "Prithvi furrowed his brows and added “then why are you blushing so much…I knew it. My wifey is too getting impatient when to reach the honeymoon “ He teased her more Sanyogita rolled her eyes once more and nodded her head sidewise. Her eyes grew wider when Prithvi hugged her waist and pulled her closer to him.She whispered in his ear with a low voice“ What are you doing ?? don't forget Kaka [Driver] is also with us “He whispered in her ear too “ Don’t worry Jaan, Kaka is very intelligent, he will never look back at us, so let’s start from where we stop in the morning “the last line he said in a seductive waySanyogita slipped on the right hand of Prithvi and tried to remove his left hand from her waist, but Prithvi was repeatedly squeezing her waist behind her saree. She tried to interrupt, but he caught her with another hand and interlocked their finger. She glared at him, baffled. He threw a wink at her.They reached the airport and entered the flight at the end of finishing all the checking in the airlines. The whole journey Prithvi was in his naughty mood, Sanyogita was laughing and giggling at every joke of him. They talked to each other and discussed their upcoming days........... Finally, they reached their destination, Maldives. From the airport, the driver sent by the resort manager came to receive both of them. On the way, Prithvi closed Sanyogita’s eyes with clothes as he wanted to give her a surprise before showing her the resort.When he removed the ribbons from her, she couldn't take off her eyes,It was a large sea beach resort. The manager came and told them, but Prithvi prevented him as he had already seen it in those pictures sent by the manager when he selected the resort for their honeymoon. The workers keep their luggage inside the resort. He hid everything as he wanted to give his wife a big surprise. After the manager had gone, Prithvi carried Sanyogita in his arms, her red Chura making a crunching sound when she hugged his neck via her mehndi pasted hands.“So, wifey, do you like this little surprise  ?”’Sanyogita looked at him with astonishment and said “ You are calling it a little surprise …it’s Damn cool instead “ she said with a chuckled He grinned at her response still holding her in his arms, when she told him to take a stand on the floor he did that, she was roaming inside the large resort and wandered and discovered every side of it.It was a large resort with an attached private swimming pool. The resort was made in such a way that it could give privacy to newly wedded couples.Sanyogita was standing near the window of the bedroom, the cold, fresh sea air kissing her skin. She stops singing when she feels the touch of his strong arms around her. Prithvi kept his chin on her shoulder. Sanyogita was wearing a deep-cut blouse so she could easily feel the touch of his chest pressing her back. She felt protected in his arms.“So, you love the resort ?” he asked while rubbing his subtlety on her cheeks  She felt sensational yet controlled herself and said “ Thank you so much …I just love it “ she turned her face to him.They were still in each other's arms, she kept her palms on his chest, while he cupped her cheeks and kissed her forehead, and Prithvi gazed at her eyes which were glistening and showing how happy she was. “I know you get tired after the journey, now go fresh, then we will have lunch together “She nodded her head positively.In the evening, Prithvi took Sanyo nearby for a site. They enjoyed the evening and met a couple who came to the Maldives to celebrate their 40th married anniversary. They once again get married in the church and dance together by holding hands together. Everyone appreciated them with warm applause and smiles. All the couples who were with their partners came for a honeymoon or a little holiday to spend some good quality time together joining them too.“How sweet of them !! 40 years they spent together still the love they have for each other remains evergreen !! ”’ Sanyogita exclaimed while dancing with Prithvi, who encircled his one arm around her waist and with another one interlocked their fingers. She rested her right hand on his left shoulder. Both of them looking into each other's eyes.“That’s the speciality of love. If it switches on once, nobody can off it as none know where the switch of it exactly “ He quipped  She smiled gently and asked with softness ““ Prithvi, what is there which will bind our marriage together lifelong? What's the speciality of our love? “Prithvi looked at her and said “your beautiful eyes which hypnotised me every time whenever I see you even your anger make me frightened so much I won’t ever think about any girl after that night when you stop talking to me for 62 hours, 35 mins, 8 secs 25 milliseconds . “He started to grinned more Sanyogita's brow furrowed, her voice laced with urgency. "Stop teasing me. I'm dead serious. What is it that will bind us together?" Her eyes burned with anticipation, demanding a genuine answer.Prithvi's gaze locked onto hers, his intensity tangible. He studied her face, as if reading  a cryptic message. Sanyogita's eyes, usually bright and radiant, now shimmered with vulnerability, pleading for sincerity.The air grew heavy with tension as Prithvi's silence stretched. Sanyogita's heart began to ache, fearing his hesitation signaled doubt. Just as she worried he wouldn't respond, his lips parted, and his chest rose with a deep breath.Prithvi's eyes locked onto his wife , his voice filled with conviction. "The bond we share with each other is unbreakable. We promised to be strong regardless of what happened in life. The pillars of our relationship that hold us stand are trust and honesty. Loyalty is not a word; it is a vow that we promise each other. But it's incredibly simple to take one's partner for granted, blinded by the monotony of everyday life. We tend to forget that just like a new-born child, yearning for attention, love, and sustenance to grow, relationships too require all these things to dig their roots deeper .".As our relationship develops, we will face life as one, riding out laughter and tears. And when the world seems too much, when we trip and fall, we will lean on each other's shoulders. We will be the haven of each other, as a child returns to their mother's arms knowing that she is always there to comfort and heal.Consider the same growing child who ventures various places with friends in search of thrill and excitement. Later, when they achieve success or milestones, whom do they rush to share the joy with? Their family.However, the demands of a busy schedule and a heavy workload cause fatigue as adulthood sets in. They search for entertainment as a temporary diversion. However, this temporary relief comes at a cost: the illusion that anyone can buy happiness with enough money.Despite the distractions of life, he eventually returns home because of his wife's unwavering love. She puts the happiness of others before her own, balancing office duties and family care with unwavering diligence. Her loved ones bring her joy; their unselfish love is what loyalty is all about.A true partner appreciates and values this dedication. He chooses to spend peaceful evenings with his cherished wife rather than succumbing to transient temptations. This is what being a one-woman man—or woman—means. It's a mutual commitment to prioritize each other's happiness.Just as numerous vehicles promise escapism – cinemas, luxurious hotels, beaches, parks, clubs, and pubs – only one path leads to a true destination, where my wife resides. For me, that journey begins and ends with my wife. She's more than a homemaker; she's my better half, my guiding light.Our loyalty, honesty, trust, respect, commitment—and above all, our pure love—will forever weave our hearts together, Jaan," Prithvi concluded, his voice filled with conviction.Sanyogita's gaze locked onto his, her eyes brimming with tears. The depth of emotion in her eyes pierced Prithvi's soul. He knew that look, that vulnerability.Without uttering a word, he pulled her close, enveloping her in a protective embrace. His chest became her sanctuary, shielding her from the world. Gentle strokes on her back and head soothes her trembling heart.Aware of her sensitive nature , Prithvi held her tighter, absorbing her emotions. Time stood still as he cradled her, waiting for calm to settle. Finally, her ragged breathing slowed.Prithvi swept his wife up in his arms, her face tilted back . Gently, he swept away remaining tears, his thumbs following the shape of her cheeks, his lips brushing across her forehead, spreading the hues of joy on her face.The merriment of the party guests' chatter and laughter momentarily froze to look at the newlyweds, the dancers stood still midway through their dance, awed by the soft moment. Whistles and appreciative glances filled the air.Sanyogita's cheeks flushed pink, but she did not struggle. For once, she forgot her reserve, yielding to the romance. Her head rested comfortably on Prithvi's shoulder, trust gleaming in her eyes.Prithvi's lips brushed against her forehead in a soft kiss.The soft gesture ignited a spark, their love radiant amidst the surrounding revelry. The music resumed, swaying to the rhythm of their hearts.************Please dear readers and the honourable author gives your valuable feedback after the ending  chapter what you have liked and what you haven't , so It's helped me to improve later and help me to correct my mistake in my next story.Thank you....Midnight_Library
