Love that heals

Ashutosh:

Rudrani slept happily in my arms but I didn't sleep thinking about her stupid plan. However I decided to visit her college tomorrow to meet her so called idiotic professor. If by any case, if it is true, I should be there for her to help her. Next day, I prepared the break fast and fed her. My tigress was so calm today and her silence was unbearable. I was cleaning the dishes and she came to me.

"As.. Ashu," she called me stammering.

"Tell me, sweet heart. Why are you so silent today? Are you still upset with me for shouting at you yesterday unnecessarily?"

"No No I already forgot that," she said.

I completed my work and turned towards her. I pulled her towards me and held her by keeping my hand on her bare waist making her shiver. She looked at me shockingly for my romantic ministrations as I playing with her waist and back. "Ashu, what are you doing?"

"Don't you know, my love?" I asked huskily.

"I am just trying to create few more sweet romantic moments in our life," I said kissing her neck and nibbling it.

I left her and I saw blush and smile on her face. I got ready and dropped her at her college. She got down to go but I held her hand.

"Rudrani, I want to talk to your principal regarding that professor. I think I should involve DCP uncle to solve the issue," I said to her.

But I have already informed DCP uncle in the past when that professor troubled her and he got enough from uncle. I don't think that idiot will ever dare to mess with my love.

"No... No.. Please Ashu.. It's okay," she said.

I held her wrist and accompanied her to principal's cabin. But Rudrani stopped me.

"I want to solve it by myself and you should respect my independence," she said trying to stop me from meeting her principal.

"Of course, sweet heart. I respect your independence. But as your sweet and loving husband, is it not my responsibility to take care of my wife and solve her every problem, love?" I said kissing her cheek playfully. "Ashu, I am sorry. I understood that you knew that I was lying about the issue. But Ashu, actually what happened was...."

"We will talk in the evening," I said to which she looked at me with fear.

"It's okay, my love. I can understand there might be a reason behind that. Just don't worry. You can tell me the reason in the evening," I said kissing on her forehead to assure her that I am really not angry with her. "I love you," she said slowly.

"I love you too," I said and returned home.

I just don't understand how am I so cool with her though I knew she lied to me and sent those photos to me. May be that's love. If we really love a person, no matter what, we can never hurt them. We will forgive their every mistake and try to give them all the happiness.

In the evening, I picked her from the college and had panipuri with her. We reached home and asusual I made coffee for us while she got freshen up. I didn't ask her anything and just had a casual talk while sipping coffee. I thought to prepare dinner after having coffee.

"Sweet heart, what do you want to have for dinner?" I asked her getting up from the couch but she held my hand.

I sat back on the couch.

"I am sorry for lying to you," She said again.

"I already told that was okay," I replied calmly.

I decided to be a good friend to her in all times. Because only then she can confess her mistakes too with me without any hesitation. I want to give her the freedom to share anything with me.

"Ashu, that photos were also sent by me."

"I guessed it," I said.

"Actually those photos were taken when I am in my +2. At that time I used to have a crush on my classmate. Those photos were taken by him as a memory as he too had crush on me. He said he will be back after completing his education." I clenched my fist trying to calm myself.

"So how did you find these photos now?" I asked.

"He returned to me now saying he loves me truly and want to marry me," she said making me angry.

I bit my teeth and closed my eyes. I opened my eyes to listen to her completely.

"Why did you send me those photos?"

"I told him that I got married and now I don't have any feelings towards him. But he blackmailed me showing those photos. He told that he will send those photos to you to break our marriage. I sent those photos to you to see your reaction before confessing the truth to you. But you didn't even react and confused me. I thought you were doubting me, so I tried to convince you by telling that it was created by that professor."

"So you thought to lie to me if I get angry at you by seeing those photos. It means lying is the only way to convince me if I am angry with you. Very Good!" I said sarcastically.

"I am sorry," she said pouting.

This girl is really mad. Pouting when I am super angry.

"Stop chanting sorry," I shouted at her.

She looked at me pouting again.

"Who is that fellow who thought to blackmail you? Give me his address. I will deal with him and then with you," I said seriously.

"Don't hit him. I mean let's explain him the difference between crush and love. Let's make him understand," she said.

"Who told you that I am going to hit him? Love is not wrong, Rudrani. I will try to make him realise that now you don't love him and you love your husband," I said seriously. She smiled and hugged me resting herself on my chest.

"Thank you for understanding me unlike other men who shouts at wife knowing she has a crush on someone else," she said.

I smiled without her notice. Of course, I won't shout at her for that because I know well that she is all mine and only mine. Now she loves only me.

"Do you think that I am not angry with you? I am damn angry with you. How dare you to tell me that you have a crush?" I asked faking anger.

She kissed me on my lips all of a sudden making me enjoy her love and embrace her more into my arms.

"Don't act too much, my dear husband. You are more than perfect and I understood it well now. I know you will understand the difference between having crush and had crush."

"No! I am really angry with you. Why didn't you tell me that you have a crush in the past?"

"I didn't expect that it matters now. Moreover I forgot that person and crush too in your love," she said.

"I love you, my love," I said kissing her both cheeks.

Next day we went to his home. His mom opened the door. We introduced ourselves and went to his room. As soon as he saw Rudrani, he hugged her tightly.

"Rudrani, did you come for me? I know you will come for me for sure. You don't worry about anything. We will send divorce to your husband and then I will marry you. We will be happy forever," he said irritating me. Rudrani gulped looking at me and broke the hug.

"Niraj, this is Mr Ashutosh, my husband. I didn't come here to accept you or to divorce my husband. I love my husband a lot where I had crush on you in the past. I didn't have any feelings for you now. You told that you will send our random photographs in which we were together to my husband. I already did it. But my husband proved that his love and trust for me is not that fragile to break."

"I can live happily with my husband without meeting you again but I know I am at fault too. When you said you will be back one day, I agreed but later I didn't trust your words. When the unfortunate incident of acid attack took place in my life, I almost forgot you. My husband showed me what is true love and he made me normal with his love. If he is not there, I can't imagine my life at all. I didn't know why I had crush on you at that time and how it happened. I know it's a kind of hurting your feelings and I am really sorry for that. Please try to understand that love is different from crush.

We will have crush on film stars, few characters in the movies, cricketers etc. But it's not love. It's just a kind of attraction which will fade some day. Please try to accept this," Rudrani tried to explain him.

"Then why did you accept to wait for me on that day? Now as you got a loving and rich husband, you are rejecting me. I know about girls of your type. You chose him over me because he is richer than me. You are such a b**ch," Niraj said making me lose my temper.

"How dare you to call my wife as a bitch? I will kill you," I said and tried to punch him but Rudrani stopped me.

"Ashu, please try to understand. He is in anger. His love is true and that's why even after knowing that I am an acid attack survivor, he is loving me. We should explain him slowly," she said.

"Look you are my wife. I can't bear anyone insulting my wife. One more word against you, I will smash him," I said seriously to her.

"Please Ashu, relax. Don't be angry at him. Try to understand," she said and I nodded.

"Niraj, Whatever you say or do, my feelings will not be reflected with your feelings. I love only my husband. Try to understand this and move on. I want you to be happy. I didn't mean to cheat you but all those incidents which took place in my life completely took control over my life. If there's anything that happened best to me is my marriage with Ashutosh. He brought my courage, charm, happiness back to me. He healed my heart. I can't leave him ever. He is my life. Now it's your choice to move on or to break yourself. I am sorry once again. I am leaving now," Rudrani said and we started leaving.

"I am sorry for being rude and blackmailing you. In these 10 minutes I understood your love towards your husband and his love towards you. I didn't want to break such a pure and sacred bonding. You are right. Crush is different from love. Whatever it is now you love your husband. I have no right to force you to love me. I will move on but it takes time," Niraj said.

On Niraj's request, we had lunch with his family and returned home. I dropped her at home and went out on somework. In the evening I reached home and after sometime I started preparing dinner for us. While cutting veggies, I felt two hands wrapping me in their love. I smiled and turned towards my wife.

"Thank you, Ashu. You are the best," Rudrani said kissing my cheek.

"Don't you know that truth till now? I am always the best and you are very lucky to have me in your life, my love," I said turning towards her and encircling my arms around her neck.

"Ashu, why don't you scold me for lying and telling you that I had a crush?"

"Because I know well that freedom makes you to share everything with me. If I scold you, next time you may hide such things from me and then I can't blame you for that as in the first place, it's me who frightened you and forced you to hide things from me. I want you to be free with me," I said and she looked at me with love.

"I love you," she said blushing and removed buttons of my shirt and placed small kisses on my chest and everywhere on my body. Shock is an understatement. I looked at her who is still blushing.

"What happened to my shy baby today?"

"As.. As.. Hu.. Ashu, I.. Want... To..." She stopped stammering.

"Tell me darling, what do you want?" I asked teasing her.

"Please make me your wife completely," she said looking into my eyes.

"Are you serious?" I asked.

"Yes, I am. I want to experience your love in every way. I want to be your's completely."

"No Rudrani! It's not the right time. You need to focus on your career. We have lot of time for this," I said caressing her hairs.

"Then why did you make me adapted to your touch?"

"Because I didn't want you to feel low or insecured. I want you to feel perfect about you," I said.

"I know you are angry with me for having crush on Niraj. That's why you are avoiding me," she said giving me a shock.

"Oh God! Rudrani, you are totally misunderstanding me. I never thought in that way. I am saying all this only for the sake of your career. I didn't want we to start our married life now because what if you get conceived? All your dreams abour career will be shattered. Baby and her upbringing makes you stressed and you can't focus fully on your study. You are so young too and it's not right for you to take up a new responsibility. You need time. Only from few days, we are getting close to each other and you are opening up. You should live your life care free and focusing only on your goal. Please try to understand, my sweet heart. You are my love and why will I avoid you for little things? Your Ashu never hurts you and avoids you," I tried to explain her.

I want her to be completely normal. I want her to live life as she want. She shouldn't regret thinking that she didn't live life upto her expectations. After her MBBS, we will leave to US for Specialization. I planned Masters abroad not only to provide her the best education but also to give her a life of her choice. Here, our parents are there and she should follow few rules as a daughter in law. For this reason, I wanted us to stay separately away from parents, so that no one will stop her from doing anything. But she refused to accept my idea as she love her in-laws a lot. At least when we leave abroad, she will be free from all these. I want to accompany her because I can't let her fall into any problem. If I am with her, I can take care of her every second allowing her to follow her heart. I have many plans to give her all the lost happiness which she missed till now from her childhood.

"No Ashu! I understand. You didn't love me. I am not beautiful, so you didn't want to touch me. Now this crush issue made you hate me more. That's why you are talking like this. It's okay, I know no one loves me," Rudrani said crying. God! What's wrong with my girl. Why is she crying? Why can't she understand my intention? I want to make our love making a sweet memory forever. I don't want to use any prevention while making love to her because I want us to feel each other. But now I am left with no choice. I should fulfill her wish to stop her tears. Now a days her tears are becoming my weakness and making me do anything to stop those tears.

"Okay, first let's have our dinner. Meanwhile I will make arrangements for our first night. First stop letting these precious pearls to drop down from your baby blue," I said wiping her tears and kissing her forehead.
