Shot 3 : The Fire

~

"Jaan...?? Don't you understand how much I love you?!" His intense voice invoked goosebumps but Nandini kept hiding under her anger.

"Main kiya karti hoon din bhar jab aap office mein hote hain? Kuch bhi pata hain aapko?

When I call you and tell you things you just hum from the other side. I am sure you don't even listen to a word I say.

You won't even kiss me on my lips like before. What do I do? Throw myself on you again and again?

Aur phir ekdin aap hi kahenge Nandini besharam ho gayi hain!!

Pehle toh phir bhi you used to tell me about your office projects but now? You come back home, have shower, play with Pari, feed her, make her sleep and then you too go to sleep!" As she naively oozed all the fire by her words, Manik kept listening each word attentively letting her spill all her agony.

"In the last twenty days how many words have you spoke to me? Let alone days tell me about last few months?

Is this how marriage works? Where no excitement or passion exists! Only burdens of duties! Am I merely a duty to you now?

Can you remember the last time you spoke something passionate to me? All the time you are just teasing me. Am I a joker to you? Whom you can only make fun of any time for your personal entertainment? Is it because I am not so brilli..." He could not let her finish saying further as his fingers pressed deep on her inferno diffusing lips, "Sssuhh...You are too much angry right now Jaan. Tumhi ne mujhe sikhaya hain gusse mein nahin bola karte. We tend to say all the wrong things often when we are angry.

And I am sorry. I am so sorry if I made you.." He couldn't complete as she hissed amid, "Sorry toh kehna bhi mat. Nafrat hain mujhe ye jhute sorries se."

"Jaan. All the teasing I do is just to make you smile. Everything I do that's for your happiness. I didn't realize it was making you upset. Please forgive me.

When you are angry like this I can't even focus into anything you know it Jaan!"  He pleaded softly, those beautiful eyes distressed in pure agony of love!

To increase the difficulty of the situation Manik's phone buzzed loudly as she glared furiously.

Taking the utmost sad sigh of helplessness he picked up, "Yeah...I am coming. Just give me one hour." With the left hand, he kept Nandini's adamant frame immured in his loving arms.

Finishing the call he moved towards Nandini and cupped her cheeks, "Baby. I have to go. When I'll return tumhari sari shikayat dur kar doonga. I promise!" Leaning to kiss her lips which she obstructed by moving sideways, "Don't.

Mujhe aur koi bahana sunna hi nahin.

Jaiye aaappp..." Shouting madly she started running towards their bedroom as Manik followed her desperately.

He saw she throw herself on the bed, burying her face on the pillow like a huffed child!

Desolated, Manik pleaded by pulling her stiff frame in his arms, embracing from behind, "Please baby let me hug you. You know I can't leave without that."

"Oh, You will leave without it all right." Won't even mercy a glance at him!!

"At least let me see you for the last time." Trying to take a peek, Manik lovingly parted the hair that covered his fuming wife's beautiful face!!

"No. I don't even want to see your face Manik! Just go. I don't want to hear another phone ringing." Seething vehemently, Nandini took another pillow and put that on her head, anticipating Manik's obvious exit!

He loves his work more than anything and she knows all this coercing is a mere temporary illusion!!

Proving her right, Manik's footstep faded out within a few minutes!!

Even then Nandini couldn't hold her tears at the disappointment that Manik still went to the office. He still didn't have that heart to cancel his meetings and for one day give his long overdue attention to his sulking needy wife!!

The saddest part is that tomorrow is their wedding anniversary and Nandini could take an oath that he didn't even remember that or cared the slightest!

Who remembers some petty anniversary after all these years of getting married, right??

It was 2 Pm at the noon when Pari was playing around and a desolated Nandini was browsing all the channels with her drowsy eyes!

"Mumma...Mumma. Woh dekho file..Led led..And smoke..." Pari's baby voice pitched high as she clapped towards the television.

Breaking the chains of thoughts Nandini noticed the news which said there was a huge fire burning in the Dx complex building. She quickly remembered this property belongs to Manik's Gurgaon client!

Isn't this the client he was having a meeting with?

Her heart churned with fear as she grasped the fabric of her attire. Not wasting a second more she dialed Manik's number.

To her worst fear, it went straight to the voicemail.
