Part 83

**Rajiv's POV**
That Shanaya was really a pain.. I lost Bhoomi's track because of her. Where did she go? I was searching everywhere, rolling my eyes in every possible direction. "Jiju... Kya hua?" Anjali came to me. "Tumne Bhoomi ko dekha?" I asked worriedly. "Haan ... Uss taraf gayi abhi.. Pata nahi kyu... Achanak chali gayi.. Bina kuch bataye.." Anjali sighed. "OK thank you.." I smiled at her and followed the direction, she indicated towards. I, soon found Bhoomi going inside the Bungalow.. Away from the party. She was really upset ... How I'm gonna explain her. I followed her inside the bungalow, avoiding the calls from some of my acquaintances in the party. I climbed the huge staircase and reached the terrace, attached to which our room was. As expected, I found her leaning on the boundary of the terrace , looking down at the party in the lawn. I walked closer and tried to explain "Bhoomi.. Aisa kuch nahi tha.. Jesa tumne dekha..Woh shanaya.." I couldn't complete as she interrupted me. "Shanaya hamesa se aisi thi.. I know it was not your fault" she smiled.. facing me for the first time. I got confused by her reply as I thought she left the party .. Cause of me. But she seemed to be completely calm.. There was not a tint of anger on her face nor in her voice. "Then.. Why did you leave the party?" I asked. "I was upset.." She said in a low voice and facing down .. Looking at the lawn. "Why??" I asked trying to understand her thoughts. "I didn't feel fine.. To see you with her.. I will never feel fine to see you with anybody else.." She managed to stutter. I looked at her and found her eyes were at me and they were moist. "I know its silly but .... I was jealous" she spoke looking away. I felt my heart leaping with joy at the same time, pained to see her sad. I didn't know what to say at that time, she was opening her heart before me for the first time and I was speechless.. Staring at her like an idiot. There was a moment of silence. She looked down at the lawn and I looked at her. Finally, I spoke "let's go back" "No.. I'm not going back" she said. "But why?" I asked. "I don't feel comfortable among so many people.. That's why I don't like parties" she reasoned.. I recalled her becoming drunk at the hotel party and a smile came on my lips. "Kya hua?" She asked. "Nothing" I replied. " you go back.. I will not come.. Say sorry to Neha.. She will understand.." She said walking towards the room. I held her wrist and she stopped"I don't wanna go back without you.. Let's stay here and talk?" I proposed. She smiled in Agreement. I sat on the boundary wall of the terrace and she leaned on the wall. We started to talk about the party, our likes, dislikes, friends, childhood, school, college, etc.. Everything that came into our minds was discussed. And for the first time, we didn't feel like strangers anymore. Our marriage was arranged, we were in love still we never got a chance to know each other properly. We were strangers in many aspects and that was the reason our relationship was not progressing. "Did you have any girlfriends in college?" She asked suddenly. "Actually..."I was startled by her question "I had many .." "What?" She was clearly shocked. "Shakal se itne saadhu lagte ho.. Andar kitne secrets chupa rakhe hai.. Kitne gfs the?" She pressed her lips in a firmline and crossed her arms. "Ah.. School me 3 thi, 12th me 2, Aur engineering college me ek gf thi.. But I swear, tumse Milne se pehle sabse break up ho gaya tha.." I held my ears to apologize. "Arghhh.. Isliye sochu har ladki magnet ki tarah attract kyu ho jaati hai tumhari taraf... You jerk.. Badi practice hogi na. .. Ladkiya patane ki.." She punched my shoulder in her anger. "So what? Tumhare bhi toh majnu the na?" I asked... "Majnu..." She looked in confusion. "Mujhe pata hai.. Ashwin tumhe pasand karta tha.." I said showing attitude. "Karta tha.. Nahi ..karta hai" she smirked
