“Sister, you have got a wonderful life! I am happy that you haven’t suffered from the heartache that Pooja and I had gone through… Love has no bounds. There is nothing that’s correct or wrong. I wanted Pooja badly. I was trying to complete my last promise to my molther…”
“…”
“I promised her that I will find the whereabouts of my father… We had no idea if he was alive or not… I was looking out for him everywhere…”
“But that doesn’t show you are good. You just left Pooja in the streets. Praba didn’t accept her and luckily for her if it’s not for Ranga…”
“That’s no luck sister….” Interrupted Nikhil.
“What?”
“Yes Ranga is a good person. He has genuine affection towards Pooja. It’s true that I didn’t expect your husband to let pooja suffer like that… But when that happened I turned to Ranga to help her…”
“Oh!”
“Raga was furious! He hated me to the core. But he liked Pooja and he did help her… He told me that he would contact me only if there’s a need… he was like an ironman protecting her…”
“….”
“It was difficult sister. He wouldn't even let me talk about her… But she was safe and that’s what I wanted… I wanted to finish my duty and then take her…”
“But…”
“I loved her, love her and will love her always… I know I did things ruthlessly but I can't lose her…”
Pallavi looked at Nikhil. He reminded her of Prabakar! He is also the same…. Protective, possessive and also adorable!
“But sister, I am a reformed man now… I feel very bad for what I did… Pooja’s good gesture has changed me a lot. I couldn’t imagine how she could do that… Everyone she adored let her suffer, but still she manages to do so much hard work to bring my father back… If I were in her place, I would have hated my mother, my father, my brother and also my lover… I would have spent my time cursing myself with anger filled heart. But she is so different… and she made a difference!”
Pallavi was quiet!
“I know sister, it’s not going to be easy for you or your husband to trust me. I wanted to tell you the truth earnestly, so that you will know exactly what happened. But I can assure you one thing. I love Pooja very much. I will do anything in this world to win her… Even if it includes winning over your husband…”
“That’s not going to be easy Nikhil! Praba is a strong willed and stubborn person…”
“Pallavi…!”
It was Prabakar! But his voice was almost like a roar!
Nikhil was startled but Pallavi was cool as a cucumber. She knew her husband well!
“Praba, you are back! I didn’t hear you at all!”
Prabakar didn’t reply to her but was busy giving an angry stare at Nikhil.
“I don’t like him at all!” declared Prabakar to Pallavi.
They were in their room and Pallavi came sat next to her husband with a smile.
“That’s ok. He is Pooja’s husband and not yours” said Pallavi with a smile.
“And you were complaining about me to him…” said Prabakar scornfully.
“Oh Praba, you are so sweet… Sometimes you behave like a small boy. But don’t worry I like it” said Pallavi with a wink.
“Now stop smiling. You can’t hide the fact. I heard it myself”
“I was not complaining I was just telling him about you.”
“But why should you tell him about me?”
“Simply just because I didn’t have any one else to talk about my husband. Tell me how I can stop talking about my sweet adorable husband? Whenever I get a chance I talk about him…”
Pallavi moved and sat very close to Prabakar. Automatically Prabakar's hands hugged his wife.
"Thank you..." said Pallavi cuddling even closer.
"Pallavi you are a devil… but a very sweet devil…" said Prabakar in a soft voice.
"Yes, just like my cute husband…" said Pallavi with her trademark smile.
"Good morning sister! I am done with my jogging early today. I am at your service right from this second. Tell me what chores I should do for you today?"
"Good morning Nikhil! That's so fast. Are you an early riser?"
"Not always sister… But I couldn't sleep… I was just waiting for the clock to tick fast so that I can see my angel again…"
"Oh! Pity you… Your angel is not aware of that…She wakes up a bit late when she is here…"
"That’s ok sister… It's worth the wait!"
"Ok sir…"
"So how can I help you? Give me some work…"
"I have a work for you Nikhil!"
It was Prabakar's voice. Both Pallavi and Nikhil looked at him surprised.
"Please get ready fast! I want you to come with me today!" said Prabakar in a tough tone.
