The Broken Heart - Heart That Is Hurt (Part 4)
As soon as the sun rose, the sunlight started spreading its glow in Ashwath's room. Ashwath, who was lying on the sofa, started to move in his eyes and he got up and sat on the sofa. Ashwath had not even opened his eyes properly when he stood up, rubbed his eyes and started moving forward and collided with a door.
"Ouch...!" A painful sound came from Ashwath's mouth and he started caressing his head.
Ashwath opened his eyes completely and looked towards the bathroom door which was locked from inside.
"Shraddha ji, are you inside? If so, then come out!"
"We can't come now!" Shraddha said from inside the bathroom.
"Couldn't you take a bath before I wake up?" Ashwath said angrily
"We are not dreaming that you are going to wake up and take bath whenever we feel like it, you understand!" Saying this, Shraddha came out of the bathroom and collided with Ashwath standing in front.
"First of all, you learn to walk by seeing and secondly, this is my bathroom!"
"Okay…..if you love the bathroom so much, then start sleeping in the bathroom from tonight itself!"
"You're still exactly the same!"
"We never change Ashwath ji...!" Saying this, Shraddha started leaving next to Ashwath.
"Fighter...!!" Ashwath started going inside the bathroom grumbling but Shraddha heard him.
"Did you say anything just now, Ashwath ji?" Shraddha turned back and asked a question.
" Yes.....!" Ashwath replied bluntly.
"What did you say? Please tell us too?" Shraddha asked while folding her hands.
"Why should I tell you? Are your ears bad?" Ashwath also asked a reply question.
"No, our ears are not bad!"
"Then why are you asking?"
"Just like that, that's why I felt like listening to your charming voice!"
"I didn't know my voice was so charming, by the way I won't repeat what I said. Now if you didn't listen to me first then it's your fault, not mine...!!" Ashwattha said.
"So don't tell me….. stubborn, ill-mannered…!" Saying this, Shraddha started leaving from there.
"One second, what did you just say?"
"That's what you just heard...!" Shraddha said and started drying her hair in front of the mirror.
Before Ashwath could have any more fight with Shraddha, Ashwath wasted no time in getting irritated and entered the bathroom. After some time, Ashwath came out of the bathroom. Ashwath felt relieved after not finding Shraddha present in the room. He stood in front of the mirror and started muttering to himself while combing his hair.
"It is very difficult to spend even a moment peacefully with Shraddha ji, I don't know how I will be able to spend my life with her!" Saying this, Ashwath put the comb in its place.
Ashwath was standing in front of the mirror looking at his reflection. His sad eyes and withered face were able to tell the condition of Ashwath.
"It has become impossible to live without you Dhara...!" Ashwattha started trying to find the stream in his reflection. There are some truths which become very difficult for us to accept. When the human mind insists on accepting the truth, the brain moves completely opposite to it and the human being remains entangled in everything.
Shraddha was looking very beautiful wearing a pink saree, earrings, bindi on her forehead, anklets on her feet and bangles and bracelets in her hands. Her natural beauty had already done the makeup on her face. As soon as Shraddha came down, her eyes went to Kaushik ji sitting in the living room who was reading the newspaper carefully. Shraddha came near Kaushik ji and touched his feet and Kaushik ji blessed her by placing his hand on her head.
"Ayushman Bhava:...!"
Shraddha smiled slightly and came to Sumitra ji who was in the kitchen. When Shraddha touched his feet too, Sumitra ji blessed her.
"It's good that you have come, it's time for breakfast, you should also have breakfast!" Sumitra ji said smilingly.
"Forgive us, we were late and you had to make breakfast!"
"Hey daughter, why are you apologizing, it's not such a big deal!" Sumitra ji said while explaining to Shraddha.
"Still mother, we have made a mistake, you had to work despite us being there, we are not feeling good!" Shraddha lowered her eyes apologizing.
"What is there to feel bad about, you got married recently so don't put too much pressure on yourself, don't be upset, this all goes on!" Sumitra ji said in a loving tone which made Shraddha also feel lighter.
Sumitra ji and Shraddha together arranged the food utensils on the dining table. After some time, Kaushik ji, Nishika and Ashwath came and moved their chair and sat down. Sumitra ji also moved her chair and sat next to Kaushik ji, but Shraddha remained standing.
"Sit daughter, sit and have breakfast with us!" Sumitra ji said.
There were two vacant chairs next to Ashwath , Shraddha sat leaving a gap of one chair between her and Ashwath. Kaushik ji and Sumitra ji had sensed the distance between them but it was completely meaningless to explain to both of them. Everyone started breakfast together.
"Brother, when do you have to go to college now?" Nishika asked a question while having breakfast.
"I have to leave the day after tomorrow, I am leaving for Jaipur tomorrow!" Ashwath said in a cold voice.
"Why are you suddenly going to Jaipur, you got married recently?" Kaushik ji asked a question.
"Can't you leave your work for the sake of marriage?" Ashwattha said.
"Hey, but Shraddha has just come to live with us and now you are taking her away from us!" Sumitra ji said complaining.
"Where am I taking Shraddha ji with me, Shraddha ji will stay here with you guys, only I am going to Jaipur with Aman and this is my final decision.....!!" Ashwath said in a flat voice.
Due to Ashwath's decision, everyone started looking at him with surprise except Shraddha. Shraddha and Ashwath wanted to stay away from each other, so this decision did not seem wrong to them.
