06. In Search of Love - Sandhya

Nikhil's eyes were fixed on Pooja's face. She looked lovely as always... The confused look in her face added to her beauty. She looked so very elegant... His heart melted on the sight of his wife...

In search of loveSo very near yet so very far...

"Sorry Pooja, I didn't mean to startle you... I heard you say something like twenty five lakhs..."

Pooja was able to compose herself by then and hence replied in a slight rude tone...

"Oh yes I can understand that! You would have wondered how you missed that... Sorry to disappoint you Mister Nikhil but you have already looted all my wealth and I don't have any more hidden treasure for you..."

Her words pricked Nikhil's heart... He could understand the pain behind her rudeness... He knew she is actually soft as a snow...

"Pooja I know I have hurt you a lot and I don't have any justification for that..."

"Thank you sir... I have so much work to do, so if you could go and utter all these sugar coated words to someone else, that would help you..."

"Pooja I can understand your hatred... I am not a good husband... I know that... But whatever be it, I will have only one wife in my lifetime and that's you..."

"Oh yeah I can understand that... Nowadays you need not marry to have relationships..." said Pooja in a sarcastic tone.

"I am really sorry Pooja..." said Nikhil some sort of a broken voice and left the place even before she could react.

Pooja stood there for a few minutes...

She hated Nikhil so much... But deep inside her heart she still loved him... Her affection for her husband still remained just the same...

Nikhil's broken tone had a big impact on her...

Why should her life be like this? Why can't it be just like others?

Her mother was different... Her father was different and now even her marriage life is different!

A sigh escaped from Pooja...

'No, this is not the time to sit and think about these things... I have an important task to finish...'

Pooja started walking fast towards the bungalow...

"Hello Revathi, I am Gayathri here..."

"Gayu! What a surprise! How are you? Thank you very much for helping my students..."

Revathi is the principal of AMN College where Annie and Pooja worked. Revathi is a good friend of Gayathri.

"It's my pleasure Reva... This is nothing compared to all the help that you have done for me..."

"Ok, ok enough of these sentimental dialogues! Tell me what's special? I hope you are not facing any issues with my students..."

"Oh no not at all... They are so very disciplined and adorable..."

"Really! I am surprised..."

"Come on Reva! I need a small help from you..."

"Sure tell me Gayu..."

Gayathri hesitated for a few seconds and selected her words carefully...

"Please don't mistake me Reva, I want to know more about Pooja..."

"Pooja? Which Pooja? Is she a student who is staying there?"

"Oh no, I heard that she works in your college office... She is accompanying your lecturer Annie..."

"Oh yes I know one of our staff has joined the tour because Mrs. Daisy fell ill..."

"Yes I know that..."

"What type of info do you want Gayu? I need to check with my assistant..."

"Just the high level info like her family details, where she is staying now and whether she is married..."

"Hmmm... That's sounds like very high level info madam..." said Revathi with a laugh.

A smile appeared in Gayathri's face also... Revathi is always cheerful... She was the one who gave confidence to Gayathri and helped her to face the life when the whole world was against her...

Immediately Charu's thoughts crossed her mind... Charu was also one of her good friends...

"Hai Gayu are you there???"
