CH-65

 

SHIPRA POV

 

What is this?” He asked, eyeing on the try.

 

Like really, doesn't he know what is it?

 

Food for you. If I am not wrong you were hungry.” I also replied sarcastically.

 

“Correct I was but not anymore. However, thank you. And don’t bother yourself next time. Sanya is there if I need anything”. He pressed the word Sanya and shut the door. I saw Didi was standing behind him smirking as if she was happy with whatever was happening.

 

The door shut on my face did not give me pain as much as didi’s expression did.

 

Tears pooled in my eyes but I did not leave my place. somehow I don’t know how to react right now. My body refused to process. I stood still at the same place.

 

“Shipra Dear '' I heard the masa’s voice but again I stayed rooted. Right now nothing is looking real. It feels like I am in delusion. 

 

Why is this all looking so wrong? I know Shivay hated didi to the core but why is my mind saying otherwise? Didi’s smirking was loudly telling me her victory.

 

But again victory for what? She clearly told me she doesn't like shivay hence I said yes to this marriage. 

 

So now she wants shivay? 

 

"Queen" she wants to be Queen. Finally, my mind concluded the fact. 

 

Is she ready to break into my house for her needs? No no didi can't do that. I guess I am taking her wrong. She can’t. She can't stoop that low.

 

I was fighting with my inner turmoil and masa spoke again "Shipra dear are you alright?" 

 

I suddenly come out of my thoughts and look at masa’s worried face and look at my surroundings, I was back in my chamber.

 

I composed myself which I am pro in it nowadays. "I am fine Masa” smiling a little I spoke.

 

“I can see how fine you are. Shipra, I just want to say one thing, Relations are built on a very thin base and that base is trust. Once the base starts cracking, the building of relation comes down, breaking into the pieces.” Masa's words are not helping me in the situation but I know she is trying to help and she is not wrong either.

 

"I understand what you are saying Masa but don’t worry our relationship is not that weak. However, I shall make things better in no time. Trust me.” Holding her hand I assure Masa.

 

“I trust you, my dear. I know you are strong enough” She caressed my hair.

 

“Now sleep, I will see you tomorrow,” said Masa Left the room.

I sat on the bed thinking what is all this happening? I don’t know why but my heart is not ready to accept that, Shivay stoop this low to hurt me. I mean I know we are fighting over something which I am still unaware of but still, I don’t agree he will do something like this.

 

I want to talk to him but I know if I go right now we might end up fighting even more. I don’t know when sleep took over me thinking about this messed-up life.

 

I woke up early to talk to Shivay. I know he must be in his Gym so I took a quick shower and went to the gym but found it empty.

 

I again padded towards his chamber because I know he won’t go to the office this early but what I saw, my eyes were not ready to believe. 

 

Didi came out arranging her gown robe. My step halted at the last step of the stairs. She did not see me but I can see her clearly. She was smiling at herself while caressing her neck. She tied her hair in a loose bun and left.

 

It feels like someone has snatched the ground below my feet. An unwanted shiver ran down my spine. Tears started coming out of my eyes. The world of my happiness shattered into pieces in no time. 

 

I turn my back towards the Shivay's chamber. My breathing becomes uneven. My legs lost their strath and I hold the pillar for support. 

 

My heart is not ready to accept this till I see this from my own eyes, till I hear this from my ears, till Shivay tells me from his mouth. I am not going to believe this. I shake my head thinking all the thoughts are coming into my mind. This time my mind also supported my heart.

 

Cleaning my tears I went to my chamber and the first thing I called Masa.

 

Masa: Shipra baby everything is alright? How come you call me at 5.30 in the morning?

 

"Masa everything is alright. I just called to arrange the car for didi. She is coming back from the first flight to Delhi. She will be there by 10.

 

Masa: "Shipra everything is alright? Did she do anything? Tell me?" I could feel Masa's worried voice.

 

Mother is mother, they always know when their child is in trouble. Without telling them. 

 

 

“Masa I don’t want to say anything right now. Just don’t let her come back here ever again please” Saying I cut the phone. Even though I want to tell my Masa the reality, I still don’t want to disgrace my sister nor my husband, at least till I know the truth.

 

I again made a call to Samir Bhai and ordered him to book the ticket on the first flight to Delhi and get the car ready.

 

Then I padded towards Didi's room. I saw her smiling on her phone.

 

Without bothering her I went to the walking closet. Taking her bag I dumped all the stuff inside and closed the bag. Just kept one dress out. 

 

She came running behind me and kept on asking what I was doing but I heard none.

 

I throw the dress on her “Go get read,y. The diver is waiting for you and you have a flight to catch in an hour.” I ordered her. I never did this before but today she turns me into someone I never want to be.
