Well when I went in to pick up her bags, I noticed that she had changed her clothes. She was looking splendid.
She was all ready but something felt missing.
Her vermillion and nuptial chain yeah. In two long strides I reached closer to her.
She was drying her wet hair, so she washed her hair. The sunlight was falling on her face and she was looking so divine. Why didn't i notice her beauty first. I wish i was that towel. It has the privilege of touching her hair hiw lucky, well am i jealous of an towel??!!!
I came out of my thoughts am i checking her out i am not some love sick teenager than why am i acting like one.
She was looking in the mirror and making her hair. Focussing on the missing part I took out the new nuptial chain from my pocket that I bought few days back. The previous one was good but it was too big keeping in mind her prefrence. As I came behind she raised her eyebrows.
I opened the lock and kept it on her neck from behind. She seemed to have a lot of questions in her tiny little mind but for some reason she kept it to herself. It took it as a yes and made her wear it. Then I took a step behind. But still my gaze was fixed to her through the mirror.
With some different emotions she hept her fingers on the mangalsutra and looked at it closely. As If she was mesmerising its every single detail. I think she liked it. well I guess buying it was worth it.
Very suddenly she turned and asked "but I already had one, why did you waste so much money". Now what shall I answer her? Even I don't know the actual reason.
"mom did after our marriage" I replied.
Saved!
She made an ohh face and turned towards her dressing table. She took the vermillion between her fingers and applied it.
seriously I never thought I would say this but she looked like heaven in traditional.
The vermillion on her head felt like an icepack to my heart. My heart got at peace.
First when we met she brought unending chaos with her to my life but i guess only she too can be my life's calmness i guess.
What are you divya rathore and what are you doing to me. Nobody is allowed to do anything with me without my permission but you came in my life did something and i did even get a hint.

Nostalgia hit me as soon as I saw my reflection in the mirror. We stayed together for a 4-5 days only but still it felt like I was going back to normal.
Well strange.
I turned back and saw that reyansh wasn't there. When did he leave. He didn't even pick up the bags. I peeked from the door and saw him walking towards the door and he had something in his hands.
Medicines no!
God! I can't react like a kid cause I am not one anymore.
But the one glance at medicines and I forget every ounce of adulting within me.
Like how people even manage to put them in their mouth.
But I can't react like that for now, what will he think, he'll laugh on me. God!!
Me hi kyu ?
(translation: why only me ?)
I took deep breaths I can do this right. I have done well in worse consequences. I can get through this.
If somebody could have heard my thoughts, he or she would think I am insane. I quickly seated myself on the bed and tried to act like i didn't saw him coming. I started to look in my phone but I knew that he entered the room as I could hear his footsteps.
A few seconds later he cleared his throat to gain my attention.
Unwillingly I put my phone down and there he was standing fully dressed up now.
in One of his hands there was a tablet and in the other one there was a glass of water.
He extended his hand with the tablet towards me. I gulped internally at the sight of one of the things that I hate most.
Yaar kyu yaar itni bhi bimaar thodi hu (translation: why ya I am not that sick).
I looked at the medicine and then at his face but I took it from his hand. I am not a kid right.
Yaar I can't even swallow the whole tablet. I know bachhe bhi kar lete hai but ab issue hai toh hai kya karu. (translation :now if there's an issue so what can I do, if it is there then it is there).
I don't have an option I have to do this. I took the medicine and was going to put in my mouth but my hands halted. Wait! He said.
"you know if you don't like medicines and hate to have them you can say it like, you can behave like a child in front of me, don't be ashamed".
Well ladies get butterflies when the guys kiss them but millions of butterflies erupted in my belly at his words. The all so arrogant reyansh can be like this too. God call an ambulance I'll die because of a heart attack. Why is he behaving like book boyfriends.
Why is he being so...so...nice to me. I think there's somebody else in place of him who's pretending to be reyansh rathore.
He again took back the tablet and headed out of the room.
He read my expressions but as far as I know I hid them well.
After 10 minutes he came back to the room with a mug in his hand.
"here"
"what is it?"
"well I mixed the tablet in hot chocolate, so that you can have it without any problem, ofcourse I asked the doctor and she said its fine"
"thank you so much but I could have managed"
"but you don't have to"
He gave the cup to me and I took it with a smile. I took a small sip of the hot cocoa and jesus, it tasted heaven. I closed my eyes when the chocolate went in and "mmmmmmmmm", I couldn't stop myself from moaning.
The exquisite blend of chocolate and almond was so perfect that all the flavours exploded the very second they touched my tongue.
I wish I could have this medicine everyday.
Well his hands are good on deserts. If he would not have been so cold to me I would have stayed with him for just this thing.
I opened my eyes and said "thank you...its really good seriously". To my words he just smirked and left from there. Well I am not shocked, its typical reyansh behaviour. I shook my head and for the time being he took out the luggage from the room.
When he was giving everything to the driver I remembered something. "hey listen can you please take out the laptop from the black bag I'll need it on the way"
"sure mam anything else"
Now I am fuckin sure there's some imposter in place of him. He should have clearly denied my request and tease me by calling me lazy and useless. But he didn't instead he came and gave me the laptop. I choked on the hot cocoa's last sip. I am relieved that I managed not to shower it on his face. He shook his head and left from there, he would have thought that its an over reaction but I know it better.
I must consult a doctor I'll get diabetes for sure. But his...his...gestures are elating unknown sensations within me which I never knew existed.
We wrapped up everything in an hour hor and bid adieu to california well it was nice to me.
In the evening in udaipur.
As we were driving through the roads of udaipur. I felt an adrenaline rush within myself. I hope I took the right decision. Now I need to work on solving the chaos that happened in california. I think he will for sure come behind me to udaipur.
I need to gear myself up. I shouldn't fall weak in front of him.
I will not. I just hope all this finishes fast and I can escape from everything.
Again the big gates of the palace came in front of my eyes. Before 2 months I thought I would never see it again, but here I was. We got out of the car and again the guards bowed I will never get used to this I guess. I smiled at the guards and they smiled back at me.

When we entered the palace I was ready to be embraced but I just kept waiting and waiting. Instead divya was caged in a bone crushing hug by vidhi.
Traitor, at first she used to not leave me for an hour after I come back and now see. It is as if just divya is their daughter. But its somewhere good that they like divya. Finally I succeeded in bringing her home. Vyom was running towards me to hug me. Chalo koyi toh hai. (Translation: at least somebody's there).
I was about to open my arms for him....but...he crossed meee??!!
He too rushed to her and started to meet her. Sahi hai bhaiii.....(translation: alright broo).
Every single family member came and her even ayansh, maa and dadaji. After 15 minutes they noticed me and came to me. "Kesa hai beta?" Maa asked and ruffled my hair. Well she can only do that nobody else is allowed to do that but still i don't like my hair being messed up.
I again made my hair and said "ab tak toh thik tha ye biasness dekh ke thoda...." (translation: till now i was dine but seeing this biasness....). Even before i could complete my sentence a light slap landed on my cheeks "dhat apni biwi se jalta hai ?" (translation: dhat are you jealous of your won wife ?) Mom said.
"No i am not jealous of her ofcourse" i said. I defended me but it didn't seem to work as everybody was giving each other stares. They were nodding to each other. I knew what was coming up No No No!!!!
It was nit even a second and all the family members together at onec jumped on en and hugged me. "welcome back" they yelled.
Sometimes my family members go insane...... actually everytime.....but still they are my family so i love them.
Everybody was literally thrashing themselves on me and there divya was laughing at me. Seriously neri band baj rahi thi.... Let her come in the room once. Finally they left me and started to laugh at my expressions. Well if somebody from outside sees this that Hukum sa's family behaves like this with him, then they would get an attack. Because for outside people we are 100 X times saner.
"Bhai ab ap hamesha akadu hi banke rahoge toh attention thodi milega" (translation: bro now if you'll always stay stubborn like this so who'll give you attention) as soon as these words left ayansh's mouth i smacked him on the head.
"Ek baar wapas bolto" (translation: say once more) i dared him. He stood up hide behind maa. Before i could say anything maa held his ear. "Har bar mein nahi bachaungi bachuu" (translation: everytime i'll nit save you kiddo).
He made faces as maa was scolding him for his michieves and i was enjoying. He deserved that gadha kahika. (Translation: donkey).
Now after talking a bit with all of then i went to do the work that i do all the time after coming back from some long trip.
They were busy talking to divya so i left after informing mom.
I climbed the stairs and went to the end of the hallway.
I opened the door with the key that i collected from my study on the way and entered.
Author' pov
Reyansh entered the room in the secluded door and there one old man was lying on the bed with tons of machines connected to him. His face was pale and he had long beard.
His hair were almost grey.
Reyansh took a seat next to him and held hia hand gently. He was looking at his lifeless figure for a long time and after some time just 4 words left his mouth "how are you dad"?
