One year later.....
Daksh pov:
"Yes!! We succeeded boss!! We did it!!"
I saw Mr. Black murmering to himself by leaping up and down with enthusiasm.
Why shouldn't he overjoyed...when he dedicated his whole one year to my firm completely for developing for coding. He was an expert in it. I can't even appreciate his passion towards coding because I'm speechless at his brilliant logical brain. He is a gem.
"Yes!! We did it" I smiled, patting his shoulder in appreciation.
"Boss!!!We won!"
My eyes riveted to Ms. Emily who was dancing in joy. Her happiness doesn't have any boundaries. She is basically a fun loving girl who is best in making Apps.
I smiled at her...Not only her, but my every employee was the best I ever got in this company.
I established this company the last year the same day I left India to fulfill my promise. To get my gigglemug in my life..I began this company which is a symbol of my love.
Dakshana infotech pvt ltd...
My whole 55 floor building was now contented. The entire building was now roaring loud, happy cries of joy. All my employee's are chirping in happiness. My entire workplace is screaming with delight.
My eyes gleamed with ecstatic when I saw my employees happy faces which I hadn't seen in over a year.
Woahooo......
I saw Rajesh screaming at the top of his lungs while opening the wine cap after shaking it for a bit, which cause the pressure over the liquid so the Co2 starts to leave the liquid very rapidly by generating a massive explosion of bubbles.
All my employees were Celebrating my success....Nahh..our success..
Without my hardworking employee's, I can't do it alone.
I glanced at every employee's face who has now replaced with large grins on their faces.
I smiled, thinking their hard work has paid off..
But, I'm more than elated that I won because Now I can get my gigglemug in my life forever..
My pondati...
She is waiting for me there with her numerous eyes..just because I told her to wait for me.
Flashback:
The next day after I return back to home from that forest. I got ready in my formals, stepped out of my penthouse to my Mercedes and drove to Akshith company directly.
All the while going to his office, I was praying to god that, they should accept me.
I arrived to my destination and walked in across the doors of Sastry's company, feeling anxious yet my cold facade masked it with a blank face.
The receptionist gave a seductive smile and I felt like I will puke at any time soon.
Ignoring, I headed to the elevator as everyone knows that Akshith & I are partners in the business world. So, none dared to stop me. I stepped into the lift and pressed the top floor button.
The lift closed and soon it opened on the CEO's floor..
I came out of the elevator and walked to the PA.
"Good morning!! Mr. Shrama" He gave a polite smile.
"Good morning!! I want to meet Mr Sastry" I said coldly.
"Let him know that you came" He replied with a smile, but I was dying in nervousness within me.
For the first time in my life, I was feeling scared of rejection.
Shrugging off those fears, I glanced at the PA who was speaking to his boss. After ending his call, he gestured me to go.
I arrogantly walked out from there and headed to the cabin and knocked on the door..
"You can come in, Daksh"
As soon as I heard, I entered in and gave a small smile..
"So, what makes you to grace your presence in the Sastry's firm as I think there is no meeting today " Akshith smiled while raising his perfectly shaped eyebrow at me.
"Just came to see, How Mr Akshith is doing" I smirked while shoving my hands in my pockets.
He shook his head, smiling at me while gesturing me to sit in front of his chair.
"Oh!! But, why do I feel like, you came here for something else" He queried me with a sly smile.
"Yes...I came here to speak with you along with your father and Hasna's father too" I said in genuine tone.
"What do you mean? You can speak to me as I'm your partner in business, but why do you want to speak with them. Is it related to my family? Wait, Is it related to my bitchy sister, Nisha? If so please don't bring her topic hereafter. That girl is no one to us" Akshith
chided by frowning at me flaring his nose in anger.
"Chill...It's nothing that related to Nisha. By the way, why would you think that I came to speak about that step sister in law of mine, when the entire world knows how much I hate that family. You will know the reason of my arrival, but can you please inform me when you three people will be free today?" I appealed him while placing my hands on the table and joined together by looking at him straight into his eyes.
"I mean, will they both have a free time now?" I asked him further hoping for a yes, whereas my heart was at erratic.
"Daksh...what's the matter? You can tell me?" Akshith insisted.
"I will tell you along with them" I replied.
Akshith didn't say anything, just stared at me with an unknown emotion which I couldn't decipher.
"Fine, I will ask them and will let you know. Till then you can wait in my guest cabin..my PA will show you the cabin" Akshith muttered with thinned lips and called his PA.
I went out along with his PA from the cabin and headed to the guest cabin which his PA shown me.
I sat there idly as my heart was beating like a hammer in my chest. My mind was clouded with numerous questions which was making me afraid.
Seconds...Minutes...hours....passed, but there is no response from Akshith.
I was still waiting...It's already 1 at the noon..hufff...I sighed..I have to do it...for my Gigglemug.
Huff...Half day I sat there checking mails.
A few minutes later:
The door of the cabin was opened and came in Akshith.
"They will be free at evening 6Pm if you want, you can wait here or else you may go" Akshith told me blankly.
"I will wait" I mumbled in return he gave a tight-lipped smile and left.
At 6pm:
"Sir, Akshith sir asked you to meet him" His PA informed me.
I nodded my head and walked towards Akshith cabin.
I took a deep breath...Whatever it is... If they don't agree then, I am even ready to beg them, which I never did in my life, but I will do anything to get my Gigglemug in my life.
Knock...
Knock...
"You can come in Daksh"
After hearing Akshith voice, I entered in.
As soon as I stepped in, They glanced at me.....Mr. Maniraj Sastry, Hasna's father has a warm smile on his face which may further turn into a sour when he will get to know that I got married to his daughter.
I shifted my eyes to the person, Mr. Adhiraj sastry, who is Hasna's periappa famous as a Hitler in India, has a stern face while looking at me.
I was feeling anxious. Masking my nervousness with a cold face, I looked at Akshith...
"Dad, chitiappa, He is Mr. Daksh Elli Shrama...my partner in business as well as...He is the Person whom our Choco was admiring since long" Akshith introduced me to them.
I beamed at the last line, my Gigglemug's face was flashing in front of my eyes..
"Oh..He is the one?" My gigglemug's dad asked Akshith with an amused smile.
Akshith nodded his head with a smile..
"Namsthe uncle's "
"Namsthe beta" Mr. Maniraj sastry greeted me back.
Her father is so sweet...I thought.
"Have a seat, Daksh" Akshith said.
I gave a nod and settled down in a comfy chair in front of the three persons.
"What do you want to speak about?" Her father queried me.
"About Your daughter" I responded.
As soon as I uttered..I saw worry over those old man face's.
"What do you want to speak about my sister" Akshith scowled.
"What did you do to my daughter" Mr. Maniraj sastry chided.
"I didn't do anything...due to certain circumstances we got married" I told them by shutting my eyes, scared to see rejection in their eyes.
Finally, my heart was freed from a burden it had been bearing from last three days.
"What the hell you are speaking Mr. Daksh Elli Sharma?"
Came a loud yell of Mr.Adhiraj Sastry for the first time since I entered. A jittery feeling rose up in me when I heard his angry voice. His eyes were boiling with lava and pathetically bored into mine making me anxious, but I masked it excellently with an ice face which I'm an expert in it.
"How dare you to tie a knot around my daughter?" Mr. Adhiraj Sastry barked at me again while getting up from the couch furiously in enrage. His hands were clenched into a fist as he breathed heavily making me worry at his health.
"Uncle...Calm down" I tried to speak while getting up, but Akshith interrupted me in the middle by dashing towards uncle in a swift.
"Dad...Dad...relax..I will speak to him.. calm down...calm down dad or else your BP will raise"
"No Akshith...first that bloody bastard and now this man....why those Sharma's are hell bent on taking away my beautiful daughters from us" Mr. Maniraj Sastry yelled for the first time after I told them about our marriage.
His words crushed my innocent heart when they are judging me based on that bloody family whom I never care.
"Uncle...relax...I didn't do anything with her. I don't have any wrong intentions towards you people or her. And please don't compare me with my step brother. At least, listen to me once" I asked them in a pleading tone, whereas they averted their gazes away from me in hate.
"Please let me speak first....and don't come into a conclusion at the start only" I added further in fear. Afraid that they may separate me from my pondati.
"Daksh, tell us what happened?" Akshith said inquisitively in irritation.
I nodded my head while looking at the three faces who were glaring at me with intense loath...Shutting all my nervousness within me, I began...
"Last year August 3rd...at 6:42:03pm I saw your daughter welcoming sorrows with her million dollar smile while playing in the beach alone rejoicing by herself like a free butterfly. That's when I fell in love with your daughter, Hasna. She was a fresh blossoming bouquet of ecstacy" I paused and glanced at them who were gritting their teeth's in loath. Ignoring, I continued...
"If I would know beforehand that I will fall for your daughter, then I would never ever go to that place.But, destiny played and I fell for your daughter for the 1st sight. I didn't know at that time she was your daughter. I tried to forget her, but couldn't. So, I asked my detective to find out about it. Few days layer I saw her in my college and even got to know that she was your daughter. Slowly, I fell more for your daughter's smile & innocence...who wouldn't when she was born to spread the glitter of laughter and wipe away all the tears in the eyes of people who surrounded her beautiful soul with her sparkle of giggles"
"I stopped myself for wooing her because after completing my studies and earning more fame and all...I thought to ask her hand from you people, however, all my dreams got reversed on that day.." I resumed whereas they are looking at me like they wanted to kill me.
"When we went to industrial tour, on the journey to our destination, she got down to use washroom. Due to concern on her, I too got down...But to our bad luck we missed the bus later."
I stopped and glanced at them who was looking at me eagerly to listen what happened to their daughter..
And, Like that, I told them the whole story which we both faced excluding the snake bite incident and our sweet moments....
"That's how, we both got married" I completed with a heavy heart.
"I don't care about your love and all, Just divorce my daughter" Mr. Adhiraj shouted at me with bloodshot eyes by shattering my hopes into glass pieces.
Divorce...never...
"I won't divorce her...because I love her to the moon and earth. We both have decided to give a chance to this marriage." I stated, yet inside I was feeling like my heart was piercing with thrones.
"No...I won't accept a sharma enter into our lives again, Akshithh. Tell him that...Tell him to divorce my daughter" Mr.Adhiraj sastry roared at me in fury and stormed out of the cabin while breaking my heart into million chunks.
I glanced at Hasna's father who was looking at me with a decipher emotion, giving me a lost glance at me and left.
A tear rolled down from my eyes...I know this will happen..
But, what ever it might be I won't give up...
I am never gonna give up on my love...my Gigglemug..she is mine...only mine.
Call it as my madness or obsession towards her, but she is mine to make her life more colorful to the extent that she would spread her magical giggles all over my life, by hearing her melodious laugh throughout my life.
My pondati..
My eyes watered thinking about our unknown upcoming obstacles..
"Are you going to give up?" Akshith whispered softly while placing a hand on my shoulder in assurance.
"No...never...but, wait, are you not angry at me?" I was baffled.
Is he the same Akshith who was throwing daggers at me a few seconds ago?
"Do you really love my little sister?" He chuckled at me making me confuse more.
"More than myself" I replied spontaneously.
"Then fight for her, but be careful in the process of doing it, because I don't sit quiet when someone hurts my family" He warned and I nodded with a sad smile understanding his inner intention.
"And Answer to your question, I am not mad at you Daksh for what your step brother did. Because, you are not the one who destroyed our everything, but he. I don't judge you due to your step brother...because I know about you, since I used to be friends with karthik" He paused and wiped the lone tear which a few seconds ago fall down on my cheek and continued..
"How can I be mad at the person who loves my younger sister morethan himself...who can do anything for her even though if he wanted to save her life, he can risk his life just like two days back he took the snake bite for her." He mumbled and left not before giving me a grin.
I was stunned...how do he know about it when I didn't tell them?
Huff...But a tiny seed of hope was started growing inside my heart as his words acted like a beautiful motivation for me..
Daksh, it's not time to think about it. It's time to make those sweet yet angry old man's to make them believe in you.
However, all their words were ringing in my ear like a reel..
Rejection...For the first time I feel rejected.
With an aching heart, I stepped out of the cabin only to get face to face of Cabir and Rajesh who were looking at me with melancholy.
I think these two clowns had heard everything..
"Is it true what you had said to them" Cabir introgated me in worry.
I nodded while trying to mask the feeling of sadness on my face as I don't want to see the pity in their eyes for me..
"Why didn't you tell me Daksh..Haan" cabir chided.
"It's none of your business" I replied blankly keeping a straighf face with difficulty as I'm at the verge of break down.
Just few more minutes, Daksh then you can broke that blank face of your's. I told to myself and left from there with full of sorrow..
Their words are hitting in my head like a tornado..
My eyes brimmed in tears...I took a u turn at a high speed...I know where I should go now. It's a better place away from all this people.
Mom..
A place where I can find a little solace to my heart..
I halted my car by giving a sudden break and got down while taking a glimpse of the huge name board..
Graveyard
Money, luxury, brands, Assets, shares, glamour, people..
These were the things I kept running after throughout my entire life.
However, this place lacks those all things, yet there is something in this place which take me here..
Peace...
Solac...
Tranquility...
&
Relief....
Because, it's a place where my mom lives.
A huge lump started to form in my throat and it became hard to swallow it. My heart started to beat faster as I tried to focus on the path with my blurred eyes.
I helplessly walked inside the burial ground, whereas the wind started blowing heavily.
Slowly, tears started to flow out from my eyes like an ocean while the thunders are roaring by making a sound of rumbles and crackling noise accompanied by a lightening.
My feet automatically walked on its own till it stopped at a certain gravestone.
Siya sharma
Dam of tears were pouring out from my eyes..Slowly, I crouched down to its height, but my tears are merging within the rain which started a few seconds ago.
Perhaps, my mom doesn't want to see her son's tears..But what she doesn't know is, her son got tired of keeping a cold facade..
I chortled bitterly at my fate...My cruel destiny...first it had taken away my sweet mom from me...now god wanted to take away my little happiness which I got a few months back.
Can I live without my Gigglemug?
Naah...never..
"Mom!!"
I burst into tears as the word escaped from my lips..
"Why Mom?"
"Why...Just why Mom? I got rejected by them"
I started weeping like a child in front of my invisible mother.
"Am I not worth to be their son-in-law?" I cried.
"What sin I have made to bear those hurtful words when I did nothing wrong?" I bawled like a 1 yr child in front of my mother's gravestone .
"At least, they could have given a chance to me, but no." I cried harder as my mind clouded with the fearful thoughts of my Hasna won't be mine.
"Just because I am a Sharma that doesn't mean they have to say all those words to me."
I sobbed while blinking my eyes multiple times as a fresh pool of tears began to form in my eyes again as I tried to hold my breath.
"Just because I born as a Sharma that doesn't mean that, they can judge me based on Karthik, mom?"
"It's unfair!!"
"It's truly unfair to your child, mom"
"It's unfair"
I hiccupped mercilessly in between my painful cries.
"I know I shouldn't stay quiet when they were yelling at me to which it's not my mistake, but I stayed silent and spoke softly, just because of her and added to that they are old...what if they get health problems just because of me then I would die with guilt...I won't forgive myself if anyone suffers because of me plus I don't want to see hatred in the eyes of my pondati. If I ever hurt her loved ones, she would loath me the same way her family was despising me."
My heart started beating faster while my eyes twinkled with a storm of unwanted tears.
"She is my love, mom...my gigglemug.
How can I hurt her family" I wept.
"I know they are right in their place yet mom they shouldn't have judged me, mom. I hate when someone judge's me based on that bloody family" I yelled by crying my eye's out.
"I wish you would be alive, mom"
I mumbled, rubbing my teary eyes like a child while choking in between my painful cries and hugged the grave stone feeling my mom's embrace, hoping I would find solace, but no..all I wanted to do was bang my head on my mom's tombstone.
"Mom, She became my oxygen. How can I live without my oxygen. What if they don't let us together?" I whimpered at the feeling which I felt at the mere thought. I felt like someone was suffocating me. I won't be able to breath if she isn't with me.
"What I will do, mom? I will die for sure, mom....I will die...I am not that strong as you all people think" I wailed naively in anguish.
"Mom, What should I do now?" I sobbed at my misery while asking my mom like a kid even though I know she can't answer back.
"I wish someone could give me your warmth which I was craving for years, mom" I choke up in a pool of tears.
"I wish you come back to me, mom" I whispered painfully with grief.
"I wish someone could love me as the same way my pondati family loves her." I blubbered, complaining like a kid to my dead mother.
"I'm not jealous mom, but I was just longing for that love since the day you left..." I shed more tears which were trickling on my cheek.
"Mom, I forget to show her picture to you" I took out my phone and showed her pic to my invisible mom.
"Look at my pondati, mom. She is so beautiful na mom...but mom, I didn't fall in love for her beauty instead I fell for her million dollar smile. With that sparkling smile, Your daughter in law stole your son's heart." I wiped the tears which were cascading down my face with the back of my palm.
"I loath the solitude life which I'm living, but she rejoices it, Mom. I never know that someone would enjoy solitude too, despite of having a loving family who can go to any limits just for her, mom."
I wept...pouring my heart out to my mom...and she was responding me with the beautiful creation of rain..
I cried harder and harder under the rain while complaining about Mr. Adhiraj Sastry and Mr. Maniraj Sastry to my mom.
My heart was screaming and bleeding with pain at the scared thoughts which occupied my brain.
A synchronized dam of tears was trickling down my face as their words rang in my ears like a bell by breaking my heart into million pieces...pouring my heart out in front of my mother while crying harder and harder under the rain. Gradually, I lost my consciousness and blacked out on my mother's gravestone not knowing that their will be a beautiful storm waiting for me to face the next day.
