       ONE  MORE  CHAPTER 

                 Anirudh's  pov :

                                  I don't want to stay in my house anymore , it haunts me , it tortures me to the core , now I can feel the  pain she went through  ..........waiting for me .

                   I put her smiling photo on my screen , better late than never . I never fail to charge her mobile , it  gives  me company in my leisure , I even check her social media account ... so naive of her she don't have a password for any of her accounts .

        I stayed with  masi ma and my cousins , until my marriage , I wish I agreed to stay with her family after my marriage too. 

         Today masi ma ( moms sister) called , she invited me for dinner  and to meet her new baby , as she said to me .

           I reached just in time for dinner at masi's place , I saw someone new at the dining table  .

          I took the seat next to her , when masi ma introduced me , I teased her ,calling a baby .....

        When our eyes met , I felt a sharp pain .....it remind me of the night Runi left me , those eyes have the same pain I saw that night  , but she is not Runi .......

       Masi ma's new baby was really a cute one , a beautiful girl wth small nose and plump lips ,  but what I liked the most was her pixie hair cut , her eyes resembles   Runi's . Her thoughts always bring tears to my eyes . 

        She is lucky that masi ma brought her , or else she would be deported back or worse , reach to some dark place .

   No, no , what if Runi ...got in some wrong hands and now she is......, Anirudh can't sleep anymore , he got up and went down ,maybe a walk in the lawn will soothe his troubled mind .

         Arunima or Chhaya's.......POV

                    How  unlucky I 'm , I never saw my mother , my step mom never loved me ,but she never beat me , because I did whatever work she told me to do .My step sister was never rude to me , I loved her so much ,when she asked to come with me again and again , I requested Anirudh to let her come and stay with me for a month or so  .

                      I don't know the whole truth of that night but , I didn't think twice before running out , I just want to run away ,somewhere far , I wish I died  , falling down with the truck , when the truck was rolling left and right I was thrown out of it and landed straight on my face , breaking my nose .

                Dr Anjali was an angel who not only saved my life  but brought me home , I left my everything behind , my id, my passport , my mobile everything .

       Every time when I am alone I think of Anirudh , what he was doing , is he even searching for me , even if he did , he will never recognise me , I couldn't recognise myself when I was told to see mirror after my nose operation , and thats  what happened today , he didn't ....... my husband didn't recognise me not even my voice .

        Only a selected few will see me as Arunima , my stepmom , my step siater and Anirudh's parents .

       How much I prayed to God  to see him , for once just once , and today God granted my wish ,  as soon as I heard the voice I know it was Anirudh , my Anirudh , my husband ......but I can't call him that , I can't take his name .

          Today he stayed back as it was late , I know he was sleeping in his room , that he used before we were married . How much I want to go there and spend a few moment with him  .

          Thinking about Anirudh I can't sleep , I can't cry , Panchi will hear , so I went down ,and I saw the door open .The  dimmed lights were on , slowly I went to the open varandah , there was no one , I was about to turn back and close the door , someone called  " who is it ?... is it Chhaya.? " It was Anirudh's voice .

     I cannot just turn away , " Ooo, umm, that um, the ...the door was open   u... so I thought , um.....we forgot to ...close .

             Anirudh came and stopped near me , " not sleepy ",  he asked 

                                            "  nah," I shook my head .

          He sat down in one of the chairs placed and forwerded one towards me 

    We talked a little , but not about ourselves , somehow I found the courage and asked him and his family here .

 He didn't lie about his marriage , but he hid the truth , the truth why I left his house , why his wife ran away.

   He simply stated that " his wife  left him and ran away " ,.

    I furthur enquired who else stay with him ......he mentioned about his driver ,,,and Mrs Roy ......and his sister in law Anu......

          That's it ....she was still there..... with him.... in his house ...in his room .....

        I thought , it was my step sister who seduced you  but no  you are equally involved with her ..

        from today all my hopes , of being with you are zero 

          from today I will never think of you , 

          You don't have any place in my heart  

        I don't want you .

          I excused myself ,and went inside ....
