chapter 4

Finally, I become Mrs. Hasanti Roshan. Deep inside my heart, I was hurt by my mother's words but I don't want to show my pain to Roshan and his family because they accepted me wholeheartedly.  We did all rituals at the temple as their family tradition and reached the home.

My friend, Pragati invited us with dristi( a ritual to welcome a newly wedded couple by showing flame on the plate to remove the evil eye). Even though she was pregnant in the sixth month but she was not at all tired. We entered jointly inside by keeping our right foot by telling our names. I lighten Diya in the pooja room. Then aunty told me to take some rest for some time. I slowly walked towards Roshan's room to take some rest.

When I entered the room, the door was locked with a thud. I turned my head and looked at Roshan. He was standing at the door frame with a mischievous smile. He quickly came towards me and hugged me tightly.

" you are looking so beautiful...." He whispered in my ears.

" Thank you.." I said coyly.

Then we heard a knocking sound and moved away from each other. I opened the door and found pragathi standing with a plate of snacks and fruit juice.

" Sorry to disturb you..." She apologized.

" No, Prags.....don't think like that...we are just talking,"  I said looking at my husband.

" come sit, we will talk for some time. From yesterday, you are doing so much work" I made her sit taking plates and tray from her.

" Okay, carry on. I will be back after some time." Roshan said looking with a sad face.

She gave a teasing smile to my husband and sat on the bed. We talk about random things. Later she left the room when she was feeling sleepy. I also wanted to sleep as I am also feeling tired.  I changed into baby pink nightwear and laid on the bed. After peaceful sleep for one hour, I opened my eyes and found Roshan is also sleeping beside me. He looked so adorable in his sleep. I pecked his forehead and stood up from the bed.

" It was a very bad move to awake the beast inside me, Mrs. Hasanthi" he pulled with force and I landed on his hard chest.

I looked at him with wide eyes as I didn't expect his action earlier. He immediately rolled me and changed our position so that I came under him.   He smirked at me and sealed my lips pouring his love and desire.

" I can't wait for any more to make you mine" he started kissing from my forehead towards my neck.

" Please... Leave me...." I stopped him placing my palm on his lips.

" Everyone might be waiting for lunch. Please...." I pleaded.

" I don't care about anyone. You are my dish" he resumed in his work.

" Roshan....." We heard the voice and turned our heads towards the door. I took that opportunity to escape and pushed him.

He was astonished by my sudden push. I gave a teasing smile at him and ran out of the room.  Everyone started doing lunch but he was glaring at me while eating.

" your wife will not run anywhere. First, finish your lunch anna" prags teased her brother.

I smiled silently enjoying his state. After that, he didn't look at me and finished his food quickly and left the house. I felt pain when he left without informing me. My appetite died instantly and left the food. I waited for him till evening but there is no trace of Rosh.

Later I made myself busy in the kitchen helping aunty and Pragati. He returned home at dinner time. My anger reached peaks as he left me at home on the first day of our marriage. I and aunty served food for dinner to everyone and we spend some time with all family members. Later I went to our room to sleep. He was sitting on the bed waiting for me.

I didn't speak with him and slept on the bed facing my back to him.

"I want to discuss an important matter with you. I know you are not sleeping. Turn to my side," he said placing his hands around my waist.

Tears started flowing from my eyes when he touched me. I didn't turn towards him for a few minutes so he forcefully turned me. He looked at me worriedly.

"Why are you crying sweetheart? What happened? Did anyone say anything to you? " He cupped my face wiping my tears.

I started crying louder hugging him. He patted my back gently and told me to stop crying.

" where did you left leaving me here. I was waiting for you in the afternoon. Do you know how I felt?" I whined.

"Sorry, my dear..." He apologized kissing on my nose.

"I love you so much. Even I am far away from you. My soul will be with you only" he pecked my forehead.

"Listen carefully. I got a call from my camp in the afternoon. I am assigned some missions.  My duty is very important for me. So I have to start by tomorrow evening." He informed stroking my hair gently.

I remained silent listening to every word of him. I hugged him more tightly. He pulled me closer and made me sleep on his chest.

" Are you angry with me as I am leaving you alone for my duty ?" He asked me as I remained silent.

I moved away from him and looked into his eyes and said," I am not angry with you. Today I fell more in love with you with your ideology. As a wife I always support you. But..... I dont want to lie that in some corner of my heart...I am sad to stay away from you... Even though I understand your situation" I said.

" I will be back within three months. I want to start our life with a beautiful beginning with beautiful memories. When I will be back, we will plan for our honeymoon." He said looking into my eyes.

I nodded my head with shyness.

" Thanks for coming into my life and understanding me. " he kissed me and slept cuddling each other.

...

...

I woke up the next morning and looked at my handsome husband. I kissed his cheeks and completed my morning chores. Later,  I went to the kitchen to help aunty with breakfast. Aunty asked to take coffee for Roshan.   Still, he was sleeping like a log.

I kept the coffee cup on the nightstand and kissed his ears to wake him. He opened his eyes and pulled me on top of him. I started wriggling to get up but he caged me in his arms very tightly.

"  Our bedroom door is open. What if anyone sees us in this position" I warned him.

" you have to think before kissing me" he laughed at my condition and started kissing on the weak spot of my neck.

" please....leave ....me... " I said and my voice came from my mouth like a whisper.

" I like this voice....so sexy" he left me.

I immediately stood up and said him to drink coffee. I informed them to get ready to visit the temple after his bath.

.....

.....

We visited the temple and I prayed to god for his safety as he is going on the mission. He spent the whole time with me in our room. In the evening, he took blessings from his parents and started to his camp. With a heavy heart, I controlled my tears as it is not a good sign when anyone goes to another place.

....

....

Aunty and uncle started treating me like another daughter. I used to spent time with aunty and pragathi. After Roshan left for his duty, Pragati stayed here in our house for delivery. So I never get bore as my best friend is with me. Roshan used to call me every day and discuss his work.

1 month later.....

Pragathi delivers to a baby boy and I become busy playing with him. We named him " Southwick". After two weeks, Roshan informed over the phone that he will come to the home after 15 days. I can hear his exciting voice to see the baby boy. On that day hearing the news, I was on cloud nine. I started counting the days.

After one week, aunty and uncle left me and pragathi at home to attend some relatives marriage. Pragathi and I planned to invite Roshan especially.

I heard a vehicle sound at the main entrance of the door and ran towards it. I am dumbstruck to see some army men along with Aunty and uncle. The faces were pale and unwell.

" where is Roshan, the aunty?" I questioned her.

She looked at me with tears and went inside the house without answering my question.

" Uncle, where is Roshan?" I questioned uncle again.

"He is inside dear," he hugged me.

I didnt understand what he meant. I thought he wanted to tease me by hiding in the vehicle. I ran excitedly towards the vehicle was and astonished at the wooden box which was covered with a national flag and his name is stick at the bottom of it.

I was so excited to see him, hug him, and feel his warmth. I never thought in my dreams, I will see him like that.

All my dreams shattered in one second. I collapsed on the ground and started crying hysterically.

" I love you...Roshan. Please come back for me...." I cried, cried ....but uncle consoled to be strong.

He said me to dont cry because he sacrificed his life for the nation. If I cry it would be disrespectful for him. I wiped my tears and remained like a statue. His last journey happened most respectably.

All laughs vanished with him. We started staying like a living corpses. I dont know what is my future without him.
