Lost Wife by pokhila (management books to read .txt) 📖

Hi there , 

Anirudh and Runi's  married life was interrupted , everything was shattered , 

Now when they overcame all the hurdles, confessed  their secrets and overcame their fear  , 

they forgave and forgot ......  her  past mistakes and brought back  Anu ......

The house was in complete festive mood , mom in law and my mom  were busy in the kitchen with Anu  chatting non stop , they didn't even notice me coming .  The strong smell of spiced filled my nose , The whole house was decorated , today was Anirudh's birthday , but I couldn't stay back for all this as today I had viva . 

I went straight to our bedroom , only when I took the stairs , mom called my name , hearing my footsteps .
 

" Chhaya , beta you came ?" 

" Yes mom " I hurried to my room and locked it , I don't wanmt anyone to see me crying .

For the past one week this was my routine , every morning I wake up to find Anirudh in the open garden , doing yoga and laughing exercise with Anu , not only Anirudh even his mom and dad join them . when I get ready for uni , all of them gets busy in preparing something new for breakfast , I skip my breakfast only to find Anirudh waiting to taste the new dish . 

I skipped my breakfast  everyday this past week . Anirudh was busy , searching evening schools for Anu he forgot that my exams started , only three papers left . I was doing well despite that no one wished me goodluck . My practicals got highly acclaimed , our department  head recommended for  Phd scholarship , if I was interested . Only one person who always  wait to wish me good luck was Amar , he waits for me even after exams , checking everything , every questions ....   I went closer to Amar . He drops me almost everyday after exam . Anirudh never asks , I never told .

I finished my theory  , from next week  practical will start . I didn't take rest after coming back , I 've so much to cover up , mom came and gave me coffee , telling me to study and they will handle everything downstairs . This was his first birthday , that we are celebrating together , but see my luck , I can't even get involve freely because of my finals . 

Last week five top companies came for campus  recriitment in our uni  , I was selected  in two of them . I want to share this news with Anirudh but he don't have time to listen . every night after dinner , I get busy with my books and by the time I come to bed he was snoring . 

Today on his birthday I brought a special watch , no two special watch that was  connected and it run's on heart beat , it have a device that can detect the another watch , anywhere in this world , both were inter connected , just like Anirudh and me . 

I heard his car arrive , I was already dressed in his favourite colour  blue saree matching earings and even bangles  , I ran down the stairs but before I can reach , someone poked the balloon ....that showered all the glitters and flowers over Anirudh , I stood on the doorway looking at my husband .... he was surprised and looked happy too , but 

" Happy birthday Juju " Anu gave him a gift wrap , and hugged him , at that very moment our eyes met , I didn't even smile him back just ran upstairs . I don't want to see all this rubbish , I 've more important things to do . I went to my study and took a book ......  but reading a line was impossible with all these tears . 

After sometime Panchi came and called my name , I know someone will come looking for me so I already stopped my tears . It doesn't mean that I expected Panchi , I was hoping Anirudh will come , 

" Hey come downstairs , enough of study . Don't forget your husband is more important than your exams , Exams will come every year  but husband comes once in our life ., " she teased , Panchi and her silly jokes , I know she hate studies . 

When I reached downstairs , everyone was busy with either eating or serving , I felt like outsider , doing nothing , I saw the three tier cake that was already half , I wasn't even called down ....  all my family forgot about me ....  unknowingly because of exam or knowingly because now they got more attached to my half sister . 

 I saw Anirudh coming inside through the front door , carrying a gift wrapped ....  wow everybody gave their gifts , but I didn't even get the chance to wish him . I saw mom and da , his parents , all sitting together , then Panchi was showing  something to  Neel and Anu . 

I went to the kitchen , ignoring the whole family members , didn't feel like eating anything either , nobody asked , I watched from the kitchen , I was loosing myself somewhere in this house , I don't feel like its owner , just a random guest , tears swelled in my eyes , I took the stairs to my bedroom , but .....

Anirudh swooped me up in his arms , and carried me upstairs to our bedroom . My eyes couldn't see his face but I know his smell ,his touch ....  everything , I held him closer , not to let him go .

Anirudh placed me gently , on the large sofa , then he kneeled  infront , to see my face , he wiped my tears but didn't ask , I looked at him , want to wish him but words will not help me , I was so broken at present . He took me in his arms and craddled me , walking towards our bed . There I saw that same gift wrap that he was carrying , He brought this gift  to our bed , must be from someone special , I thought .

He sat down , but still held me on his lap like a baby , at the same time kissing my lips again and again , " I have something for you " saying , he placed the gift wrap on my lap ,  turning a little , I looked at his face , he was smiling , but , there was a sadness in his eyes . I didn't open , so he said again  " open it sweetheart , its for you " . He held my hand and helped me pull away the beautifully tied ribbon , then unwrapped it revealing  a box .
