We both held the knife together and cut a small piece. I fed it to Ishu and after having a small bite of it, she fed the remaining to me.
Later before everyone went for dinner, they got pictures clicked with us. We both also got some pictures clicked.
I am cursing that Pandit ji who fixed our wedding date for after 2 long months. If it was up to me, I would have married her today itself.
We were sitting on the couch when suddenly Ishika tightly held my hand. I looked at her but she was looking at the doors.
3 people were standing, a man, his wife and a daughter who was around Ishika's age.
I wanted to reassure Ishika that she didn't need to worry so I put my hand over her. This got her attention, and when she glanced at me she saw a lone tear escaping from her eyes. Now I want to destroy whoever these people are.
"Why the hell are you all here." Samrat Bhai shouted. He looked so furious. Who were these people?
Then he looked back at Ishika. "Siddharth please take Ishki to her room, I will come after clearing the venue. The party is over."
As Bhaiya told me, I helped Ishu down the stairs, but she was looking a little out of sorts. so I picked her up in my arms and made my way to her room. She was surprised at my sudden action and blushed brightly.
"Put me down, everyone is watching us."
"Let them watch, because of them, I won't stop caring for my fiancee."
She blushed even more and hid her face in my jacket.
I asked her to open the door of her room as both my hands were full.
In her room, I helped her on her feet. " How are you feeling Ishu."
"My head is hurting with all the pins they put in it. And I am feeling exhausted."
"Come sit here and I'll help you with your hair," I said pointing at the dressing chair. She sat there and tried my best to be gentle while removing the pins. Once her hair was loose I massaged her scalp to relax her roots. She moaned.
Oh my god. That sound.
"It is feeling so good, thanks Siddharth."
"Anything for you princess. Now you go and change into something comfortable."
"Siddharth I know you want to know about what happened downstairs but you also don't want to force me to talk."
"Yes Ishu, you can tell me whenever you are comfortable."
"I am ready, I want to share everything with you, my past, present and future."
I kissed her forehead.
"First let's both change into something comfortable than we can talk."
When she nodded, I went to change in my room while she changed in hers.
When I knocked on her door, she told me to get in. She was sitting on the bed, holding a cushion. I went over and sat next to her.
"So Sid are you ready to hear my sad story."
"I will be ready whenever you are ready to share it."
"I was 7 when my parents died in a car crash. Bhai was 17 at that time. He was underage so he couldn't independently take my responsibility, also they were his crucial school years. Then jumped in tauji and taiji, the elder brother of my father. They comforted us and assured Bhai that they would take care of me like their own daughter. Bhai had his school and also had to keep an eye on our father's business so he had to stay here in Jaisalmer while I went to Jodhpur with them. Worst time of my life. They starved me, hit me, locked me in the bathroom for hours, all this for some silly mistake or even sometimes for no mistake at all. Whenever Bhai would come to visit me in Jodhpur, they would threaten me not to speak a word or they would punish bhai as well. So I kept quiet. At the age of 7, I did all the house chores, cooking, cleaning, everything. Finally, it all got over on my birthday. Bhai thought to give us a surprise visit. No one was home, they all went to a party. Watchman knew bhai, so he was allowed to enter the house. Bhai thought I went along with them. When he wanted to use the washroom, he opened the door I was there lying unconscious on the floor. This time they had locked me for 3 days because I had put some extra salt in their breakfast. Bhai's birthday is just a day after mine, so next day was the day, bhai turned 18 as well. He immediately called the lawyer and became my legal guardian. Later tauji was sentenced to 2 years of imprisonment. It was all over a long time ago but I still get nightmares sometimes. I still got chills seeing them standing in front of me today."
She told me the whole story while the tears were continuously falling from her eyes. I wiped her tears and collected her in my arms.
"Don't waste your tears on them, Ishu. They are not worth it. I just have one question. Why? Why would they do all this to an innocent girl? If I am not wrong, they also have a daughter of around your age."
"Jealousy. They abandoned my grandfather. So he lived with us and I was his favorite. We were inseparable. No one knew that Grandpa had some properties all over the Rajasthan. When we got his will, all of it was transferred to me. They wanted a share in the property, but couldn't get any. I feel so stupid that I get so weak in front of them. But do you know, I was a baby at that time but I still remember the talks I had with Dadu about 'Sahara' a shelter home Dadaji wanted to open for anyone and everyone. That's why he bought those properties. So when I turned 18, I turned his dream into a reality. We now have 4 branches of Sahara in Rajasthan."
Tears stopped and their place was taken by a look of contentment and satisfaction in her eyes.
"I am so proud of you Ishu. You are truly an angel. A brave angel. Never think that you are weak. My Ishu is so brave that even at the age of 7, she fought those abusive demons. Your grandfather knew that you are so strong that's why he only entrusted you with his dream project. And Ishu, you did prove him right. I am so honoured to be your fiance. And I can't wait to call you my wife."
And there it was, her blush. I love how innocent she is. As we were done talking, there was a knock on the door. I went to open the gate.
Radhika was standing there holding a plate of food. She said, "Brinda Bhabhi asked me to bring it over. She said that you both shall have your dinner and that they will join you in some time."
"Thanks, Radhika."
I took the plate with me and fed Ishika. She made sure that I had a bite alternatively. As we were about to finish our food, Samrat bhai and Brinda bhabhi came to her room. Wanting to give them some alone time together, I wished everyone goodnight and left the room.
