Thanks all for supporting me. I know I'm late as always. Just, let the exam finish then i promise i'll update regularly.
And Sorry becoz I won't continue "Unhealed Pain". It's an OS. I think i won't be able to justify with the emotions and situation of Abhirika if i continue this. So, it's ended here.
Now come to the story...
Chapter 3
Morning 8 AM (AbhiRika's home)
Abhijeet was ready to leave for office. He came downstairs while settling his coat with a file in his hand. He stood near the dinning table and took a glass of water. Tarika came behind him.
Tarika: nashta tyar hai...ap baithiye...maine leke ati hoon.
Abhijeet looked at her with irritating face and replied in much strictness: koi zarorat nahi hai...main office mein kuch kha lunga...saying this he started moving forward the main door.
Tarika tried to stop him saying: lekin suniye toh...but Abhijeet was gone. Tarika sighed and said: aj bhi bina kuch khaye chale gaye...Tarika was feeling bad as Abhijeet left home with empty stomach. She thought something and went to kitchen.
Tarika packed some food stuffs in lunch box. She knew that Abhijeet went to office by driving the car himself. So, his driver was in the quarter. Tarika called the driver and he came.
Tarika: Bhai saab, kya ap ye dabba(showing the tiffin box) unke(Abhijeet) office mein pohcha sakte hai?
Driver: jee jarur madam jee. Main abhi jake de ata hoon...he said all this with much respect.
Tarika: dhyanyabad...
Driver smiled and replied: madam jee ap hame sharminda ker rahe hai...ab main chalta hoon...sahab ko ye dabba de ata hoon.
The driver left from there.
Tarika closed the door. She went to the balcony attached with her bedroom and sat there feeling the fresh wind that was blowing...with the wind blows she went to the past that changed her life...
Flashback start:
Salunkhe & Sonali were busy in serving guests with snacks, sweets & drinks. There were 3 people leaving Salunkhe & Sonali. A young aged person who was of 27 years, an old man near his 60's, a woman near her 50's.
Salunkhe & Sonali settled on the chairs keeping there after serving them.
Salunkhe to the old person: Toh kya socha apne?
Old person: Salunkhe saahab hame toh ladki bohot pasand hai...
A big happy grin came on Salunkhe's face and also of Sonali. Sonali looked at the girl with smile.
Woman: kaafi suna bhi hai apke pariwar ke bareme...apki beti kafi sushil aur shant hai...aur ghar ka sara kam kaj bhi janti hai...hame aur kya chahiye...
Salunkhe: toh main ye rishta pakka samjhu?...with lots of hopes in his eyes for the well being of his apple of eyes.
Old person: hamare taraf se toh rishta pakka hai. Ab apke beti hamare huyi samjhiye...
Salunkhe became very happy.
Women: ab toh chat mangni aur pat biyah...
He & Sonali stood up from his chair. Sonali took the plate of sweet in her hand. The other persons also stood up. They fed each others sweets and after sometimes the guests left. Sonali went inside and directly moved towards Tarika.
Sonali(happily): unlogo ne haa ker diya hai...
Tarika smiled.
Sonali with some doubts: tu khush toh hai na?
Tarika: haa maa. Main khush hoon. Aplog mere bareme jo sochenge usse mein hamesha khush hi rahungi...
Sonali smiled and hugged Tarika. Meanwhile, Salunkhe came there & saw mother-daughter in hug. He coughed fakely. They broke the hug. Salunkhe went towards his daughter and kept his hand on her head.
Salunkhe: meri beti kitni bari ho gayi...ab toh uski bidayi ka waqt bhi agaya...
Tarika just looked at him without any words. Happy tears were in everyone's eyes mixed with some sad one's also.
Salunkhe: ladka acha hai, khandani hai,,,,mujhe yakeen hai tu bohot khush rahe ga. Tujhe mere faisle per yakeen toh hai na?
Tarika smiled with: Babuji, apke har faisla mere bhalayi ke liye hi hai...aur mujhe apke har faisle pe yakeen hai.
Salunkhe gave a proud look having such a daughter.
Salunkhe to Tarika: toh ab der kis baat ki hai,,,,main kal hi pandit jee ko bulaker shaadi ka mohrat nikalwata hoon...
Tarika: jaisa ap thik samjhe...
Salunkhe and Sonali left from there.

Next day came with a new start. Pandit ji came and wedding date was fixed after analysing to be Bride's and to be Bridegroom's Kundali & discussing with the bridegroom's family. It was decided that engagement would take place after 1 week and then after 2 days, marriage would take place.
Everything was going nicely without any hurdles. Salunkhe invited his all relatives & friends for Tarika's marriage. Four days passed and the engagement took place.
Tarika & her family was very happy with this. But they were unknown that a storm was waiting for them to come.
Flashback ends.

Tarika's thought got disturbed with the door bell rang. She went and opened the door and saw a pion with a letter.
Tarika with confusion: jee ap?
Pion: ye letter aya hai Mr. Abhijeet Srivastava k naam se...showing a envelop.
Tarika: oh...jee wo toh ghar pe nahi hai, ap mujhe de dijiye.
Pion nodded and gave the letter to Tarika. The gave a notebook & pen with: ap isme sign ker dijiye...
Tarika took the pen and signed on it. Pion left from there. Tarika locked the door and went to Abhijeet's room and kept it there. She saw that Abhijeet's room was a bit messy.
She arranged his room and kept all the things on their ri8 place. She took the cloths of Abhijeet which was needed to wash and kept them with the laundry cloths. Then placed his files on the right place. Then she left his room and went to hers.
Time passed away like this and it was 6 PM then when the door bell rang again. Tarika went and opened the door. She saw Abhijeet standing with an angry face. Abhijeet burged into the house and kept the lunch box on the table with a thud. Tarika who had just closed the door behind him and turned, got scared with a thud sound. Tarika went to him with slow steps. Abhijeet turned to her with fire in his eyes.
Abhijeet pointing to the lunch box: ye kya hai?
Tarika with down head: wo apne subha bina khaye chale gaye, isiliye maine socha apke liye...
Abhijeet cut her while pressing his teeth: maine tumse kaha tha mere bareme sochne k liya?
Tarika was totally silent.
Abhijeet in a bit high tone: phir tumne kyon bhijwaya?
Tarika said nothing. She was little bit scared hearing his this much angry tone.
Abhijeet in same anger tone: office me main kaam karne jata hoon. Nahi khana khane ya phir fizol ke baato k bareme sochne. Ainda se agr kabhi bhi aisa kuch kiya toh mujhse bura koi nahi hoga...saying this he went to his room.
Here, A tear drop fall from Tarika's eyes. But she wiped that. She took the lunch box and went to the kitchen. She opened it and saw the food was totally untouched. Tarika looked at Abhijeet's closed room. She felt bad seeing that Abhijeet didn't even touch the food sent by her. But a thought came into her mind.
Tarika's POV: apne ghar mein panah diya, yehi bohot hai mere liye. Apke dil mein jagah bana ne ke kabil toh main hu hi nahi...
Tarika went to the temple to do evening Aarti. She sat there after doing Aarti.

8 PM...
Abhijeet was working in his laptop. His phone started ringing. He looked at the caller id amd smiled & picked up the call.
Abhijeet: hello Dad, kaise hai ap?
A.D (Pradyuman): main bilkul thik hoon beta...apna batayo..kaise ho?
Abhijeet: I'm Fine.
A.D: aur Tarika beti kaise hai?
Abhijeet face fall listening this but he managed to say: thik hi hai..
Pradyuman understood that till now, nothing had changed.
Abhijeet: waise aplog kab tak arahe hai?
A.D: hame ana mein der hogi...yehi kuch 2-3 mahina lagenge.
Abhijeet with shock: 2-3 mahine? Kyon dad?
A.D: Kolhapur mein hamari kuch khandani jamen hai. Baas usike kuch legal formalities hai. Aur waise bhi kitne din baad hum log yaha aye hai rishtedaro se milne. Wo log bhi chahte the ki hum ruk jaye.
Abhijeet sighed with: hmm...waise maa kaise hai?
Pradyuman was about to reply when he saw Abhijeet's mother coming towards him.
Pradyuman: tum apne maa se khud hi baat karlo...saying this he passed the phone to A.D(Mrinalini).
Abhijeet: Ma, kaise hai ap?
Listening Abhijeet's voice, A.D's face glow up.
A.D: main thik hoon beta. Tu kaisa hai?
Abhijeet: main bilkul thik hoon maa.
A.D: ha thik toh hoga hi. Akhir tere patni tera ache se khyal jo rakh rahi hai...She said with a happy tone. But this triggered Abhijeet's anger.
Abhijeet in a rough tone: wo mera patni nahi hai...maine aplogo se pehle hi keh diya tha, ki wo sirf ap logo ki Bahu hai...mere kuch nahi lagti hai wo...
A.D scared listening her own son's tone. Abhijeet also realised that how he talked to his mother. He made himself calm down.
Abhijeet in much composing tone: Sorry Maa...wo maine apse iss tarah se...
A.D could understand her son very well.
A.D: main samajh sakti hoon beta. Tere liye Tarika beti ko apna na muskil hai. Lekin wo bohot achi ladki hai beta...tu ek baar use samajh ne ki koshish toh...
But Abhijeet cut her with: Maa, plz ap phir se shuru mat ho jaiye...
A.D also thought to leave this topic.
A.D: Bahu kaha hai?
Abhijeet carelessly: hogi yehi kahi...
A.D: mujhe usse bat kara jara...
Abhijeet: thik hai...
Abhijeet came out of his room and looked here and there but didn't found her.
Abhijeet murmuring: ye kaha chali gayi?
Then at very next moment: haan, shayed wohi hogi.
Abhijeet went near the temple and saw Tarika sitting there with her head keeping on the side wall. He was facing her back. Abhijeet went little close to her.
Abhijeet: suno Maa tumse baat karna chahti hai...
But he got no response.
Abhijeet(loud tone): Maa tumse baat karna chahti hai...
Again no response. This made Abhijeet feel more irritated and angry on her. Abhijeet unwantedly keep his hand on her shoulder and gave her a little jerk. But in result, Tarika fall down. Abhijeet eyes popped out.
Abhijeet: ise kya ho gaya...?
Here, A.D was saying: Hello...hello...kya huya hai beta? Hello...
Abhijeet put the phone on his ear.
A.D: beta sab thik toh hai na?
Abhijeet hurriedly: haan maa. Sab thik hai. Main apko baad mein phone karta hoon...saying this he cut the phone.
