Ch.4

Rajveer was sleeping when he started to wither as he saw some unpleasant flashes in his dreams.

****
"Bhai am in Love.. I love her so much. Meri Sona sabse alag hai, sabse pyaari hai" Said an overly excited and equally happy Ranveer.
****

****
"Ye pyar bhi kitni ajeeb cheez hai na mere Bhai, it makes you do the least expected thing" He chuckled "She made me a better man".
****

****
"Pata nahi Rajveer aj kal meri Sona ajeeb sa behave kar rahi hai, as if me usey janta hi nahi... She seems strange." He felt weird and scared.
****

****
"Bhai wo mujhse alag hona chahti hai, wo kehti hai, she feels out of love, she don't want me anymore in her life... She said she doesn't need me and am imposing myself on her.. I loved her.. I love her alot, like crazy.. How can she say all that..bhai bhai me uske bina nahi jee sakta..me mar jaunga bhai me mar jaunga" Said a hysterical Ranveer as he begged for her.

Sweat beads were forming on his face, he was feeling suffocated as he saw his brother's suffering in flashes.

He saw himself enter a house, calling for Ranveer but he never replied back, he felt wierd, he gets inside and strangely his heart starts to beat loud as if something bad has happened. As soon he enters his bedroom, he saw blood. Bed sheets all soaked up in his Brother's Blood, his wrist slit open. His heart stopped beating at that sight.

Rajveer woke up with a start, he was breathing heavily as if ran a marathon all drenched in his sweat. He stood up and went outside in balcony to calm down himself from those unpleasant memories. He closed his eyes tightly trying not to live those moments again but failed.

A punch landed on Ranveer's face as soon as he regained his consciousness. Ranveer was shocked and startles with the sudden assault. He didn't expected this and that too from his ever loving brother.

"Aise ghoor kar mat dekh saale, you deserve this, ek ladki ke liye tu apni puri family ko zindagi bhar ka dukh dene chala hai, kya itni important ho gayi hai wo do kaudi ki ladki jiske liye tujhe apni family ki bhi parwah nahi.. " Said an overly angry Rajveer.

He closed his eyes feeling guilty "sorry yaar mein bhul gaya tha apne dukh mein, ki mere pas meri family bhi hai jo mujhse bahot pyaar karti hai... Am sorry and I promise, mein agey se fir kabhi aisa nahi karunga".

"You better... Aur tu shukar mana, Mom Dad ko tere iss stunt ke bare me kuch bhi nahi bataya meine.. Otherwise they would have been deeply hurted by this stupid act of yours" Ranveer sighs of relief as Rajveer exclaimed.

"Bhai mein kuch time India se bahar jana chahta hu.. Mujhe yaha ghutan hoti hai.." Rajveer gave him an disapproving look "trust me, mein firse aisi bewakoofi nahi karunga.. I just need my time. " He sadly said.

"Thik hai.. Jitna time chahiye le ley.. But i need my brother back, as soon as possible" He Nodded.

His Flashback ended but another started as he startes to recall all the incidents which turned his life upside down.

"Tune abhi tak India wapas ane ka faisla nahi kiya... Ab to wapas aja.. Meri shaadi hai 15 din mein.. Bhai ki shadi me kam kaun karayega.. " Rajveer said giving him coffee.

"Am happy for you brother.. But am still not ready. Her memories still haunts me" Rajveer becomes upset "acha bhai, tu bhabhi ki photo to dikha zara dekhu to mere bhai ki personality se unki khubsoorti match karti bhi hai ya nahi".

Rajveer smiled and shows him his fiance's photo. Smile left from his face as soon he saw photo of his would be SIL. " Sona" He whispered.

Ranveer looks at him surprisingly and corrects "sona nahi.. Sunaina, Sunaina naam hai iska.. Teri honewali bhabhi. "

"Janta hu... Sunaina Singh Ahluwalia urf Sona, meri Sona" He said with stoic face which shook Rajveer from inside. Never in his wildest dream he thought situation like this will arise before him, where he has to choose between his brother and his love.. And then, he chose Revenge. An eye for an eye.

Sunaina urf Sona loves her sister the most, she is her weakest point, she cant bear a single scratch on her baby sister just like he cant see his brother in pain but had to because of this witch. Now Sunaina Ahluwalia has to go through the same pain in which he suffered seeing his brother yearn.

He enters back inside his room and saw her sleeping peacefully. He watch her sleeping for few minutes and wonders, Is it right to hurt an innocent with no fault of hers? Isn't she as innocent as his brother was? Then what does it mean? What does he want now? Should he forget about his revenge? Should he let his revenge go like that? Let bygones be bygones? What about his brother? What about her cruelty on his brother.

He was still debating with himself when she felt continues gaze on herself even in sleep.. Thanks to  Women's conscious senses. She saw him staring at her, she saw time it was 3:45 AM.

"Aap soye nahi.. " She asked in sleepy voice.

He shook his head "nayi jagah mujhe neend ane mein problem hoti hai.. " He said sitting on his side "tum so jao.. meri wajah se apni neend mat kharab karo".

"Do din se to apko sleeping arrangement mein koi problem nahi hui, aur aj achanak ho gayi....Kya hua.. App pareshan lag rahe hai.. Bat sirf neend ane ki to nahi hai" She got fully awake seeing him tensed.

He was surprised at how easily she recognised his anxiety. "Confused hu... Ek deal hai jo meine ki hai.. Sara plan well laid out tha, plan execute bhi ho chuka hai, this can be very beneficial if goes according to my plan".

"To pareshani kya hai" She was confuses as everything seems normal.

"The thing is... Am having a second thought. Kya jo mujhe sahi lag raha hai wo sach mein sahi hai? Is my plan going in the right direction.. Kahi kisi inocent ko nuksan to nahi pahonchega" He doubtfully said.

"Aap kaise kuch galat plan kar sakte hai.. Apni company ko single handedly app kaha se kaha le gaye... Your father is so proud of you including mom, me, my parents and Ranveer too. Kisi ko koi nuksan nahi pahonchega.. Or agar kuch ho bhi gaya to galati to insaan se hi hoti hai na" She assures him.

He kissed her forehead getting his answer "thanks.. " She smiled as he went back to sleep.

@@@@@@@@@@@

It's been two month of their marriage. Naina was happy but was confused. Whenever they gets intimate Rajveer after few minutes withdraws himself away abruptly as if there is an invisible force which was throwing him away from her. While Rajveer was also confused  about what he should do.. Should he change his mind about revenge or go for it. This was getting frustating for him.. One side is Naina, who innocently started to care for him while other side is his brother, who is rotting in agony of loneliness while the cause of his misery is living in peace enjoying her life.

It was sunday and Rajveer's father summoned everyone in his study i.e. his wife, Rajveer and Naina.

"Meine ek faisla liya hai" His father spoke "actually meine or tumhari Mom ne mil kar decide kiya hai ki.. Hum dono Jodhpur shift ho rahe hai.. By the end of this month" This news surprised the newly wed couple.

"What? Magar kyu dad.. Ye decision kyu.. Achanak se aisa kya ho gaya.. ". Rajveer exclaimed.

"Haa maa... Mujhse koi galati hui.. Jiss se apko laga ki... Maa Papa.. Agar apko kuch bura laga ho to I am sorry.. Mein ap logo ko alag nahi karna chahti" Naina was worried of it's because of her any action.

"Nahi Naina aisa nahi hai...tu to meri wo beti hai jo hume kabhi mili nahi " Her mother in law assures her. "It's just.. Bacche bade ho gaye hai or ab settled bhi hai... To we thought to move out"

"Rajveer tum apni life me settle ho chuke ho. .. Humari zimmedaari puri hui or rahi baat Ranveer ki to we are always there for him magar pata nahi.. Wo kab wapas ayega" His father said in concern for his younger son "isiliye humne decide kiya hai ki ab hum apni zimedariyo se retirement le ley... Company ki zimmedari ab tumhari".

" Or ghar ki zimmedari tumhari..ab tumhari bari in zimedariyo ko nibhane ki...hum buddha buddhi ko chutti do" Her mother said giving keys of house to Naina.

"Agar aisi baat hai to ghar chhodne ki kya zarurat hai... Yahi raho, we will handle everything aap aram se yahi raho" Rajveer protests.

"Young Man.. Privacy ki zarurat sirf newly wed couples ko nahi hoti hai... Hum jaise couples ko bhi hoti hai.. " His father said playfully looking at his wife while she gives him stern look.

"Rajveer.. Meine aur tumhari maa ne zindagi ke bahot se utar chadhav dekhe hai... Fir bhi ek dusre ka sath nahi chhoda.. Chattan ki tarah ek dusre ka sahara bane.. Jab ek tut-ta to dusra sambhal leta.. Dusra bhatakta to pehla raah dikhata... Tum dono bhaiyo ko sambhalna bhi koi asan kaam nahi tha.. Naak me dum karke rakha tha dono ne.. " The old couple chuckled while the new one just smiled.

"Ab itne lambe safar ke bad.. Hume ek dusre ka samaye chahiye.... Jaha sirf hum dono ho, koi duty ya future ki tension nahi.. Jaha hum dono sirf ek dusre ke sath sirf ek dusre ke liye ho.. Beeta hua waqt firse bator sake.. Jo waqt hath se nikal gaya usey dobara saja sake" He said looking in his wife's eyes with love while her eyes misted seeing the love her husband has for her .

Naina saw them in awe.. They are so much in love even after so many years of marriage. They are the best couple she has ever seen, can she and Rajveer be like this one day? She looks at her husband.... Hope so.
