12 Blooming Feelings(3)....

Its been two days since Ripun had had her breakfast .She hadn't touched any food after what she saw. Chalres called Maya as she had already told her what happened during her visit. Chalres had scolded Maya for showing her that incident. Though he wanted to make Ripun stay by his side but not like this. Maya had shown her exactly what was going in her world.

"Maya, you shouldn't have shown her husband cheating on her.She has not eaten anything after you left. I am worried this woman might make herself sick. " said lord Charles anxiously.

Maya said, "Mylord, it wasn't intentional. I showed what exactly would have happened. I seek your pardon but I think it is for her own good.Rather living in a dilemma that someone loves you as unconditionally as you love that person,it is better she knows the truth. Truth is always bitter but I guess Ripun will be able to bear it as she is a strong woman. "

Hearing Maya say this without any hesitation made the lord realize that whatever happened, happened for her sake.

"I want you to go to her as she is not opening her door to let anyone enter. Seeing the state she is in, I guess there can be no other person who would be able to console her aching heart except you. Please make her mind calm." said Charles taking a sigh.

When Maya knocked at the door, she heard Ripun say, "Please leave me alone. "

Maya said, "Its me, Maya. Ripun I know you are sad but please let me in. You need a friend right now".

The door opened and Ripun didn't even let Maya come inside when she hugged her tight like a kid and wept bitterly.

Maya didn't stop her as she wanted her to empty her heart first.

Ripun cried for a long time till her eyes became red and puffy. She was feeling better now as she had mourned for three days and now she had no more energy left.

After a while, Maya spoke, "Ripun, life is strange. Its so unpredictable and that's what makes it life. You had trusted that person so deep that when your trust broke, it became a shock of your life.Its not bad to love someone and trust them completely but one can't stop living even if something like this happens. You must not let your will die. As far as I have known you..... you are a strong woman who gave her all to all the realtions she has has. If one didn't work out, doesn't mean all others are the same. "

Hearing all those words, Ripun felt her heart was aching less but it was something which couldn't be forgotten in a day or two..... she had given fifteen years to her relationship, and she was betrayed like that in the end.

Ripun was silent and it appeared that she had made up her mind about something after struggling with heartache during this span of time. She said, "You are right, Maya. I know it is of no use. I will be making myself suffer if I keep on thinking about it."

Maya smiled and hugged her patting her back.

After some time, Maya got up and opened the door as the maid had brought lunch for them.

"Lets eat, Ripun. I 'm hungry. " and she started pulling Ripun towards the table which the maid had set for them to eat food.

For all this while, Lord Chalres was standing and listening to them. He felt relieved seeing Ripun feeling better. He was also in pain seeing Ripun in pain.

He never knew that he would have such intense feelings for Ripun in such a short span of time.

He went to his study to think ahead.

After Maya ate lunch with Ripun, she made Ripun sleep using her hidden magic. She knew sleep was important for her as she looked like a corpse from what she had seen Ripun initially.....

She went to meet lord Charles to his study room. "Well done, Maya. I had expected the same. You have never failed my expectations."

"I am glad I could amuse you with my skills. Though it was what I was planning to do as I could not see her in this state. "said Maya with a serious expression on her face.

Chalres said," Maya,I want you to meet her on everyday basis and keep a check on her family. Seeing this, I don't think that person deserves her.Though it is going to work in my favour, but I never wanted to do it in this way. Seeing her hurting makes my heart ache. Bastard! how could he do this to her?"

Maya didn't say much and left after bowing slightly.
