- Barcelona: A Love Untold

Shreyas was on his way to his friend's house..

His mind was still stuck with what happened in the clinic

" What is she hiding.. How did she got all these scars.. ?? " Shreyas thought.. His mind was quite disturbed with this..

Reaching his friend's house.. He rang the door bell..

" Hello yaar.. Kaisa hai??? " Shreyas smiled at him..

His friend hugged him and said
" Amazing.. Ander aa jaa.. "

" Yaar Karan.. I am really sorry.. Mujhe uss din tujhse argue nahi karna nahi chahiye tha.. I was acting such like an asshole.. " Shreyas said

" Abe yaar.. Jaane do.. Even I was at fault.. So let's just forget all of that.. Hum dono bachpan ke dost hai.. Ek saath baade huye hai.. Jaane de " Karan said and hugged him back..

They both sat on a couch.. Shreyas was checking out the living room..

" Waise . . Your wife is really good at decorating the house.. I mean your house is soo beautiful.. " Shreyas said admiring all the decoration.

" Haa.. Woh toh hai.. Yeah.. You haven't met my wife right.. Wait let me call her " Karan smiled and went to the kitchen

Shristi's pov

I was making some bread pakoda and cheese balls.. Some friend of Karan will come today..
He is childhood friend of karan.. But lately they lost contact.. As per Karan.. He was supposed to come in our marriage.. But he couldn't..some issue caused them to drift apart..Today thay are meeting after a long time.. To mend all the relations..

As I heard the door bell rang I understood that his friend is here.. And I was right.. After a while Karan came inside to call me..

" Shristi.. Come.. Let me introduce you to my friend.. " He said

As I went out.. My eyes went wide.. It was SHREYAS.. Shit..

( end of pov)

Shreyas's eyes went wide..

" Re.. Tum?? " He smiled

Shristi just smiled..

" You guys know each other?? " Karan was a bit shocked

" Ha.. Aaj subha yeh mere clinic main... " Shreyas was cut off by shristi..

" Woh. Our neighbour Mrs. Mathur.. She was feeling unwell.. Aur Mr. Mathur bhi ghar par nahi the.. So accompanied her.. " Shristi said she looked nervously at shreyas..

Shreyas was startled.. Seeing her reshly preparing a lie and just delivering that..

" Haa.. Haa... Tab pata nahi tha that she is your wife.. " Shreyas chuckled

" Ohh.. Acchaa... Tabhi main sochu k tumhe clinic jaane ki kya zaroorat padh gayi.. " Karan smiled at her..

Shristi smiled back . .

" I will get you guys some snacks " Shristi left that place..

...

Shreyas was still in thought.. Karan snapped his fingers . .

" Kaha kho gaya?? " Karan asked

" Kuch nahi.. " Shreyas smiled

" Aur bata.. How is life Mr. Doctor? " Karan asked

" Ha bass chal raha hai.. Accha hai.. Sometimes it gets but that's fine.. I love my profession " Shreyas said with a faint smile..

" Tu bata??? Mr. Businessman?? " Shreyas laughed

" Stress.. Kuch deals pending hai.. Sooo... " Karan said

" I understand.. No worries.. Everything will be fine.. You're such a good businessman.. " Shreyas complimented him

In the mean time there maid came out with bread pakoda and cheese balls..

" These cheese balls are perfect!! " Shreyas said after a bite..

" Shristi made all this.. " Karan said with a smile

" Wow.. Impressive.. " Shreyas smiled

They were talking about anything and everything when shreyas said..

" Washroom kidhar hai?? "

" Go upstairs then turn left " Karan said

Shreyas went upstairs.. He saw the washroom on left.. And turned to the right side..

..

Shristi was sitting in her room.. Reading a novel.. When she heard a knock.. She looked up and saw shreyas

" Why ? ? " Shreyas asked

" What why?? " Shristi asked

" Don't act innocent.. Tumne jhoot kyun kaha Karan se?? " Shreyas asked

" That's.. That's.. None your business.." Shristi said looking every where

" It is one of my business.. Why are hiding this?? " He asked sternly

" Karan will get tensed.. That's why.. " Shristi said avoiding eye contact..

Shreyas was silent for a while.. Shristi looked at him.. Shreyas sighed and went from their..

Shristi let go of a long breath.. And sat down on her bed..

She looked over her bruises...
...

Shreyas came down..

" What took you so long?? " Karan asked

" Haa woh.. Thoda time lagg gaya " Shreyas said

" Chal koi nahi.. Baith jaa.. " Karan laughed

" Aur bata.. Girlfriend huyi?? " Karan asked

" Nahi.. Nahi.. Utha kabhi time nahi mila " Shreyas chuckled

" Koi pasand toh hogi?? Don't tell me that you don't like anyone " Karan said

For a second shristi's image flashed in front of shreyas's eyes..

" Nahi.. No one.. " Shreyas smiled

" Woh sab chod tu bata.. How is your life now?? I mean it's your second marriage right?? " Shreyas asked

" You know I never thought that I will be love anyone.. After her demise I thought my life is over.. But then I met her.. She changed me.. Changed my life.. I love her man.. I just love her" Karan said

Shreyas smiled and said
" Woh bhi bohot pyaar karti hai.. Hai na? "

" Haa.. You know.. She married me against her family's wish.. Her family broke all contacts with her.. I feel so bad.. But I can't really do anything.. I mean I tried to mend everything.. She tried to mend everything.. But we failed everytime.. " Karan sighed

" Why we're they against.. Is that because it's your second marriage?? " Shreyas asked

" Yeah.. " Karan replied..

....

Shristi got from her bed...

She took the tablets prescribed by shreyas.. She applied some ointment over the bruises so that the colour gets lighter.. That ointment caused a very tingling sensation over her scars..

" I don't want to go through this again!!! " Shristi mumbled.. Her voice chocked..

Okayyy.. So I am back with a update??

What's wrong with shristi?? Why is she hiding things from Karan..

To know more.. Wait for the next chapter...
