The Cage Bird...

 




                     The room was beautiful and elegant but more beauty was added to the room by a girl who was staring at her reflection in the mirror thinking about how her life changed in a day. She had heard people saying “world change according to the time” she had never believed in that but now she does accept it. Now she is a caged bird, the arms and legs are tied in the name of fake marriage. All her dream about marriage got scattered and according to the whole world now she is Mrs.Rudra Pradhap Ranawat but the reality is still she is Miss. Parvati. She had spent her whole life in an orphanage, she don’t know who is her parents whether there are alive or dead also she doesn’t knew it.  She knows only smile, love, happiness, sweet, rose. She was a care free kid till she learnt the life out side of her orphanage. Time changed at the age of 20 her whole world was the orphanage, her family were the children lived there. The head of the orphanage was her mom and dad, rooms were small which have to accommodate more than 50 children there were no space but they all lived happily. All the children's heart loved each other. When any one of the children gets sick all the 49 pairs of eyes will cry. For the past 3 years one sponsor came as a blessing from the God, he took most of the responsibility of the home. Before that they used to get sponsors only in a little level, most of the time elder ppl used to stay in empty stomach for the full stomach of the other children’s. But now the stomach is no emptier due to the rich sponsor, but the new problem came to the home in a new way. His name is Aryan, 8 years old he was the lovable kid in the home. He has the heart problem they needs money for the treatment, they also can’t depend on the sponsor for each and every matter, so they have to take other decision. She stepped out of the orphanage for the job. She worked day and 9t to get money but the treatment cost is more, along with her other 3 girls also worked out and that was oly enough for his medicines. She learnt a lot about the world, she hate it to cores’. Her 1st advice from her madam is not to mingle with any of the man in the work place because in her whole life she had not come across any man. So she preferred to work were there in no man’s. When she was working in one of the small agent as a receptionist she came to know that one girl who worked ter before was dead, the reason for her dead in sex torture by her boss. The very next moment she ran out from the job. Later she never looked in to any of men’s face. One of her co worker demanded her to try the other job as she had completed some other courses which will fetch good money. Her frnd gave the card of the “Sam industry” due to the money need she accepted it but it was her greatest mistake in the life. Her thoughts were disturbed by the knock in the door. “Paro dear come soon all are waiting to see my sweet daughter in law. Mom why are you stressing yourself, doctor had advised to take rest you go i will bring her down” by hearing those rough but sweet male voice her fear was worse. 

She wiped her tears and stood up from the chair. She saw the mangalasutra in the table, she was shaking in the fear her hands were ice cold slowly she lifted that and started to wear, while wearing she remembered the words which he spoke to her “stay in my house, just act as a good Daughter In Law and i will not cross my limit and u should not ask me any questions and remember one think we are already married according to my mom”.  She is ready, ready to act as a good DIL of this house. She repeated the words “This house is a stage and i am going to perform in the show that all, don’t look in to any of the men’s face particularly his eyes. Relax Paro, relax, relax” her heart sang the word slowly she opened her eyes and at the same time the door also open with the force. Her eyes was staring those brown eyes now also she don’t know the color properly but she was confident that those eyes had magnet in them which pull her as a force towards it. After facing that bad incident, she is still ready for this drama, but something in her heart told that you can believe this man.  In the other hand those dark eyes was seeing the beauty full butterfly in front of him, those eyes didn’t blink for a sec also and heart missed 2 or 3 times to beat because this was what his heart wished before 3 years but not anymore. The black coat and pant was perfectly fit for him, the reflection of the color was well shown in his eyes. He was standing in front of her, he can’t believe it once he wished her to be his whole life but now he is ready to fire his whole world if she was his life. He oly knows how much he loved her and he wished oly girl in his life after his mom is Paro.  He remembered those words “Mr. Rudra, she is a prostitute” he closed the eyes in anger and so the door. 

By the sound of the door shut her memories came back to her, now his eyes was burning in anger. He came near her and saw the reflection of her back in the mirror, the perfect shaped which he saw before 3 years is still the same “no she is changed, she is not the girl i loved, she is not the girl i saw……., no, she is not my paro” with the trembling hands he was about to touch the body which is standing before him but he stopped in btw by remembering the words he gave to her “i will not cross my limit”. Paro saw the anger in those magnetic eyes and couldn't understand reason and she saw his lips moving but didn’t get the word properly. After asking her to follow him, rudra moved away from her and was holding the door open for her to come, he turned and saw her but she was lost in the thoughts and didn’t move a inch also. Anger in him grown more and with that he pulled her bangle hand closed to him. Due to the heavy weight of the sarry and sudden pull she slipped in his arm. Her left hand was in his right side of the chest and other the hand is struck in his strong grip. She was lost in some world by seeing those magnetic eyes. She remembers the 1st time when she saw those eyes it was three days before in the delhi hospital by seeing those eyes she fainted in his arm itself. She really feared if God had placed some magnets in his eyes while creating him. He pushed her back in a strong force, due to that she was about to hit her back but before that a rough hand caught her in time. His one hand was holding her head and the other one was strongly holding the waist. By the sudden touch of his hand in her bare body part made her to close the eyes tightly. He made her to stand straight but his hands refused to remove from the head and waist, his heart remembered the 1st meeting of her in the orphanage 3 years before. She doesn’t know what happening inside her she felt some think strange but she loved it, she always wished someone should take care of her but she dono its him and also she doesn’t want know because she knew the drama had an end card. Suddenly she heard the voice in her mind “i will not leave u…….. fire…… fire……. Fire……” by that her whole body started to shake in fear Rudra who was holding her tightly felt the body trembling and realized his hand slowly and saw still her eyes still shut but now he can see the tears and sweat in the face. “Rudra open the door all are waiting for u both” by hearing the voice she opened her eyes and saw the door opening so quickly she wiped her tears and sweat. “Mom y u came up any way we both will be coming down oly na, pls take care of ur health” by telling that he cared his moms shoulder. “i really can’t wait to see my daughter and nothing will happen to my health because my daughter came in the DIL form” with that Paro came and hugged her MIL very tightly, in her life time no one had described her as a daughter tis is the 1st time her ears are hearing the words which her heart wished for 23 years. 

The crowd made a clap by seeing the beautiful pair coming down. All the eyes were on Paro to see such a beautiful girl. The gentleman’s were describing Paro as “The Cage Bird” because they very well know about Rudra who was called as a beast in their business society.  He is known for his angriness, rough behavior, and very strong hate towards the girl’s side, so many girls have tried him for his money by using ter body but all just went in to vain. He will just push that girl down and move away, never gave his hand to lift anyone who was in the floor. Now all were thinking about the miracle happen in his life. Rudra introduced her to everyone and her mom took to her for introducing to her friends. Rudra saw the fear in her eyes so he never moved his eyes from her. He was in the conversation with his client and suddenly he felt some strange feelings in the heart so his eyes automatically started to search her, but he could not find its pair of eyes. He excused himself from others and started to search. In the corner of the hall paro was standing alone and was lost in the some thoughts. Paro felt uneasy so she moved to the corner and thinking what happened in past 3 days. “Due to the heart problem they bought Aryan to delhi for the treatment. First day she stayed in the hospital itself and her madam went out to meet some rich sponsor. Next day paro was getting ready to search job, that was the first time she collided with rudra and she fainted in his arm. When she opened the eyes she was lying in the hospital bed and drips were hanging by the side of the bed. She asked the nurse who helped her and the nurse gave the visiting card of the guy who admitted her and paid the bill also. Paro remembered the guys eyes which made her o faint, she tried to ride of those eyes in her member but nothing usefully, those eyes had pain and shock and love. She itself dono what to do but she want to meet those eyes, so she took helps to find the address and went to the building according to the card stated. She entered the cabin and thanked him but she got most shocking news from his mouth, she want to slap him hard and want to shout that she is not cheap girl to act as his so called wife she also did it according to her heart. But again she was stopped by his statement. She lost the hope in this world” her thoughts again disturbed by hearing the gentle voice. she turned to see whom it was, the voice introduced itself as Rajesh business partner of her husband. She gave a sweet smile and tried to move away but she was shocked by the touch of his hand. She feared by the touch, she can’t shout at him because it will affect rudra. Paro searched for the help particularly to those magical eyes, when she could not find it she tried herself to free from him by using her strength. But she was failed due to her weakness or by his strong grip. He was tightening the grip by telling “i have seen u some were Mrs.Rudra, have u been in Mumbai” by hearing those word she stood there without moving her body inch away in the fear. After hearing the word Mumbai and the fear in her eyes and face conformed something to Mr.Rajesh. Paro was about to fall due to the weakness of her leg and the grip loosening of his hand then she felt some strong hand is balancing her from falling down, her mind flashed Rudra face to her as the answer for the question asked by her heart. Rajesh felt some pain in his hand and pain is growing more and more so left paro’s hand in the pain, he looked up to see who’s hand is making such a hard grip to him, he was shocked to see Rudra whose face is burning in anger.  Rudra came in time and saved paro from falling, when he saw Mr.Rajesh hands were holding her hand, his anger grows more and now it was burning in his eyes. He twisted his hand while speaking politely to him and in the tiredness Paro failed to hear the bone breaking sound of Mr.Rajesh’s hand and to see the pain and fear in his eyes. After finishing the work rudra excused himself from Rajesh by taking paro close to him and for the strong support he place his hand in the waist and told “let’s go for caking cutting my dear paro” he didn’t see her his eyes were fixed only on Rajesh. While moving away rudra turned and invited Mr.Rajesh for cake cutting by stressing the word cutting. 

After hearing the word paro she could not stop herself from crying. She hugged him tightly and cried by resting her head in his chest. Rudra could not understand the reason for crying and was stunt by the sudden hug; he slowly lifted his hand to touch her back. He slowly smoothen it by reap ting the word relax. But her cry was unstoppable, suddenly he felt something and asked her “did he hurt u” but there was no replay he gently pushed her aside and took her hand to have look. He was shocked to see imprison of Rajesh’s hand prints in her hand and which was reddish in color. He wants to kill him in the very next moment but was stopped by seeing paro’s pleading eyes. Her eyes pleaded to him “pls don’t go away, don’t leave me alone” he can’t do any more think by seeing those eyes he thought of finishing Mr.Rajesh’s chapter tomorrow. Paro can’t believe her ears what she had told to him it was truly from her but her mind suddenly raised one question how he knows her pet name. After very long time someone had called her in that nick name, it was her name in the home all used to call her by that name oly. But how he knows her name, her pet name she has the question but no answer. Rudra wiped her tears and guided her to the cake area. It was a chocolate cake and she loves chocolate. How he knows it, again the question but no answer. Her hands were shivering in the pain so he guided them to cut the cake. When she felt the touch in the hand she automatically stared in to those magnetic eyes. She can’t move her sight from him by using so much power she lowered her eyes. He took one small piece of the cake and made her to eat it that time his finger touched the rosy petals called the lips. His heart felt some magic in them. Paro was about to take the cake in her hand and suddenly her eyes felt on the brown color XXL size dog which was staring at her, suddenly she could not control her fear and closed her eyes tightly, clinched his coat by using her both hands and buried her head in his chest by shouting “Rudra pls take that dog out, it staring at me pls take that out”. By seeing this all started to laugh at paro. Rudra hugged her tightly and shouted for the guards to come “i have already informed u, paro don’t like dogs, i informed u to take tiger to the farm house but what the hell you all doing” rudra roared in anger. Then rudra stared at the guest who had laughed at her paro, he want to through all of them out of his house, suddenly he felt the soft hand touching the should as if telling him to calm down, he know by the touch itself  it was his mom. In his life time oly two girls have touched and hugged him, one his mom and now his paro.  Paro who was hearing his words without lifting her head was again shocked by the question which rose in her mind “how he knows i don’t like dogs”.  The party ended well and the entire guest gave their blessing to the couple. 

In the 9t paro couldn’t sleep until she knows the answer. She stood up from the bed and was thinking how to reach his room. Suddenly she heard the door knock before she could answer it she saw the same magical eyes entering the room. But now his costume is changed he is in white kurta. “OMG, y he is here. Paro don’t look at him pls particularly those magnetic eyes”. She closed her eyes and heard the door closing and the foot step nearing her. When the foot step was no more heard she opened her eyes slowly and she saw the broad chest which was shown by the opened buttons. She feared whether he wantedly opened those buttons.  She again closed her eyes tightly and asked the question in the jet speed “how u know my name is paro? And how u knows i don’t like dogs? And what ur doing here?” she didn’t stop there she also continued to say “until u give me the answer i will not…ahhh…..i will not…….huh….i will not lie in the bed”. After finishing her jet speed question she slowly opened her one eyes to look at him, after seeing those eyes automatically she opened her other eyes wide open. He slowly came close to her and lifted his right leg little forward and pulled her both legs because of that she lost the balance and landed in the bed. “Now you’re lying in the bed. Mom is sitting outside so i can’t go out, shut ur mouth and sleep and i will join u in a minute” by telling that he turned his back to her and started to search for pillows. Actually he thought of sleeping in the balcony chairs but he was shocked by the questions asked by her so in the anger he left some words which have double meaning. Paro sat up in the bed in the fear and was shocked to hear his words “sleep in the bed i will also join u, OMG what he is thinking” she stated to sweat by thinking those incident. She automatically stood up on the bed and shouted “what it means i will also join u in the bed, i will not sleep with u, get out from this room” she was standing on the bed like a doll by keeping her both hands in the hip. After hearing the last word “get out and i will not sleep with u” his anger rose to the high level.  He turned his head to face her but he was facing her stomach, he lifted his head to face her. When he saw the childish doll standing in front of him his anger was gone in the air and lost in the thoughts of his love but he remembered those words he looked aside. He tightly clutched her waist with the rough hands and lifted her from the bed and made her to stand on the floor. She opened her eyes widely by the touch of his hand and the next moment closed it tightly. She felt liking flying in the air a strong wind crossed her body which made her to shiver. “For how many hours ur going to stand like this? And remember one more think this is MY BED and i am going to sleep here oly. If u wish to move out u can do it but before that gives back my10 lacks which u accepted as a pay for acting?” by telling that he turned and went to the bed because he know if he sees the tears in her eyes then everything will be changed. She stood there till she can, her body lost all the strength and then ever thinking was black for her and she collapsed in the floor. By hearing some sound Rudra looks at the place where she was standing and then he saw her body lying in the ground as if no life. He gently lifted her from the floor and places her in the bed, he thought from the morning she didn’t eat anything so only her body weight like a feather. He took the juice from the mini fridge in his room and poured in the glass. Slowly lifted her head and made her to drink the juice after drinking completely he place her head in the pillow and covered her body with the bead sheet. The soft and velvet rosy petal lips were shining in front of him it invited him to wipe the juice drop in them he closed his eyes and wiped her lip with his finger. The sudden change in his body made him to move away from her the very next moment. He went to balcony and rested himself in the chair. He slowly closed his eyes and remembered the moment when he saw her first. 

Those moments were fresh like newly bloomed flower. Every day he used to thing that moment it gave him so much happiness and also so much pain in the heart. He took the diary to right today’s moments, he wantedly skipped the first part of the diary but due to the wind the pg turned and stopped in the pg which he don’t want see. He looked at the words written in the pg. Three years before: “For the 1st time in my life i am writing diary. It’s a short trip but it was a trip to find my life. The day i reached Mumbai was a rainy day. Conference is the reason i am here, from the morning hell of chatting and discussion were taking place. I was rushing to the airport because of the conference which delayed 3 hrs, on the way to the airport car got break down everything happening just opposite to my wish and the driver and mechanic were doing their best to get fixed soon. My anger was more due to the break down, i shouted at the driver in a full speed. I even thought of killing him one moment. When my anger was in a full form i heard some children’s shout so i went in search of the voices. I saw a small gate with a single push it opened fully and i saw one dog and group of children were standing under the tree and shouting for someone in the tree. I can’t get the clear view of the person in the tree so i went little forward to have a look, there i saw a girl by seeing her my body relaxed automatically, my heart was beating in a jet speed i dono y but i felt that i am smiling. For the 1st time in my life i am smiling that to but seeing one girl in the tree and its totally strange. I felt i saw my life in the form of girl.  I saw the fear in her eyes, than oly i understood even the eyes can be more beautiful when it shows the fear. The long and straight hair which covered her face attracted me more, rosy lips and the cheeks were like soft snow. Children’s were shouting her name as Paro. My lips repeated the name slowly and i smiled wider. The fear for the dog was shown in her voice. Her voice was like some bird singing. I slowly moved towards her, while walking i felt the cool breeze in my body and heart. Suddenly i heard an elder person sound for the watch many to take the dog out so i didn’t move forward and stood in that place itself. After the dog was off from that girl’s sight she came down and hugged the elder person and smiled wider, those smiles were childish but i loved it more. The laughter of the children echoed the whole place, after that see started to leave with the children’s. I who was standing in a distance can’t tolerate that she is leaving me and going, i started to move close to her but it was no use she went inside. Then the elder person came to me and enquired about me, i told my details and i offered to help this orphanage. She accepted happily that time driver came in search of me and informed about the car got fixed and time is very shot to reach the airport. I left the place by leaving my heat to the girl who was in the tree. Because tomorrow i am leaving with my mom to the states for her heart treatment, if not surely i will be stating here in this small world was my angel is living. I reached the airport and gave more money to the drive as thanks for making me to meet my life. After that i didn’t hear any single word from anyone mouth, i saw their lips movement but my heart gave the dubbing as Paro paro paro . I reached home late but with the broad smile in my face as i entered my eyes saw the dog which is in the corner of the hall. My Tiger came close to me, i kneel down and touched his head and my heart asked me how ur going to convince paro to keep ur tiger in the home? i asked sorry to tiger and smiled. Suddenly i heard the laughter near me, it was my mother who was standing near me, when i entered the home i failed to notice her. She asked me “r u talking to the dog?” because i have not done that before, she didn’t stop there she continued to ask more which made me in a shock.  “Want happens to u, u seems to be happier and OMG that means u r in LOVE?” i really could not answer her question i just smiled wider or may be blush and ran to my room. Suddenly i felt my room changed, i saw my room very differently again my heart asked me one question “is she going to live here?” by hearing that i want to change my room completely that too now itself. I slept after reap ting here name continuously. The two years in the states were like hell for me, i want to go to Mumbai at any cost but i am the only relation for my mom so i can’t leave her all alone. Whenever i remembered her face by seeing anything in the shop i just bought that in a go. Like that i had filled two large bags so many dress, dolls and n no of products. Can u believe that i Rudra doing this sort of thinking, i have never imagined in dream also. Finally the day came i returned to Delhi. Two days i stayed with my mom in the home to make her relax.  The next day i reached Mumbai airport, no words can explain my happiness. Today was the most beauty full day in my life because i am going to met my love.” with that he throwed the diary which hit the pot of plants place in the corner. His eyes automatically started to close then he falls in the sleep not peaces full and deep sleep. 

In the morning he heard the dog barking sound and he open the eyes in wider and by telling paro’s name he stood up from the chair. Then he saw the dogs in the street which is chained by the owner and going for a morning walk. He moved inside the room and checked for paro but she was missing, checked the bath room and then he heard the laughing sound from the hall so he rushed down to check. There he saw which he wished to see, his mom is laughing whole heartedly with her DIL. He slowly went up and took the cold shower to relax himself. Then dressed in blazer and came down for the breakfast. From the steps he searched for paro, he saw her coming out from the kitchen with a bowl in her hand. He came close to her to enquire about her health.  paro didn’t notice rudra coming towards her by his more close towards her she was made to see those magnetic eyes and which made her to missed the bowl from the hand due to the pleasant surprise. Rudra caught it on time and places it on the table. Paro was shaking in the fear and she moved away from him by seeing her MIL coming out from the kitchen. She asked paro to sit near Rudra; well there was no objection so she sat near him unwillingly. Rudra poured himself a juice and took the sip. Suddenly his mom asked about the dog and by hearing the word dog paro places her hand in rudra lap in the fear and tighten the grip. By the sudden touch of her soft hand in his lap rudra felt as if some the electric current passed inside him which aroused rudra more than by her sweet smell. When rudra felt the grip tighter he automatically poured the juice in his dress. A smile slipped from his mom’s and paro’s mouth. Paro without knowing that she is the reason for the incident happened, she took her pallu end and started to wipe his shirt. While wiping they both saw each other’s eyes and for a moment they forgot the whole world. After some time by hearing his mom’s laughing sound made Rudra to come out from the dream world. Both moved away in a fraction of sec, he bid good bye and rushed to the door. His mom couldn’t control the laugh and asked him “r u going to office in this juice dress?” by hearing this paro laughed louder. Rudra went up to change the dress in anger and then left for office. After the storm went out from the house both the ladies somewhat controlled there laugh and came back to the reality.

 Rudra mom came near paro and took her hand in hers and spoke politely “When Rudra was 10 his father left us and went for some other girl, i tried my level best to stop him and make our marriage work but all went in vain. Then i came to Delhi worked day and 9t to save me and my child. Rudra didn’t ask me about her dad like other child he under stood the situation and obeyed as a good child, but he didn’t had sweet childhood days. He grown up as an anger, rough and dough boy. I tried my level to change but i really can’t may be if his dad was with us means he would have done. He never wished for anything in his life, he worked very hard to reach this level. His only company in the world other than me is his dog, tiger. I always used to ask him to marry but he will burst like a cracker by hearing the name marriage. Suddenly everything changed 3 years before one day i saw him happy without a reason. I asked him he just smiled, u know he never smiled like that in his life. His happiness was endless when we were in states for my treatment.  He told surely he will marry so only i agreed for the treatment in states. After 2 years over we reached Delhi, he promised me that he will bring my DIL soon, those words are true because i saw it in his eyes. After few days he went for some place, while returning he was completely changed, it will be right if i say he is completely mad. I have never seen him like that before he was burning in the anger as if he lost his soul mate. I tried so many times to ask him about the matter he will just say everything is over. I failed to protect. The blank statement will come as a replay. Few days back my health was worse so i was admitted in the hospital, then he came and told me that he is married. I didn’t ask him when, were and who. I oly told i want to see her. Because i trust him and i also know he is in love. Pls take care of him after me, i wount live long…..can…can you promise me that you will not leave him…..pls” mala asked  with the teary eyes. Paro looked at the lady in front of here with the tears which made paro to melt, so did the promise whole heartedly. Mala kissed paro’s forehead. Paro was having so many feelings after hearing the story and she felt very bad for him. she thought every man was devil but now she tried to change her thoughts particularly about Rudra. By talking both went straight to kitchen for the work and by hearing her voice paro came to her present state. “Yester day 9t i saw the love for u in his eyes, he just want to through the entire guest out who were laughing at u. The way he hugged u back was telling me that he loves u more, he is protecting u by keeping the things which u fear for, the dog. i am really happy for my childes. Here after pls call me as maa, will u?” paro saw the eye which is glowing in the happiness and said yes for the wish her maa made. Paro was lost in the words which were said by his maa before few mints. Is he loves some one? Then why he didn’t marry her? He loves me huh it can be never possible. 

She remembered the time of their meeting how she had reacted by hearing his words. “Come Miss.Parvati i have been waiting for you. Now how is your health?” rudra asked casually. Paro just smile and told "fine.....hmmm....thanks for helping me Mr. Rudra. Hmmm they told me you paid the bill, so I came to settle the amount , can you tell the bill cost?" rudra was just staring her after long time he is seeing her properly and that to too close to him and the name of him from her mouth was like sweet bird sound. Rudra composed himself and asked "so you’re ready to pay the bill.......hmmmm not bad, i would love that and your bill amount is 10K." By hearing the amount paro stood up from the chair and shouted what. By seeing the smirk in his face paro controlled herself and asked "what the hell they did with me, why they charged this much. I am not weak and i not have any problem   in my body?". Rudra simply played with the paper weight on his table replayed "well Miss. Parvati it will be good if you shoot those question s to them with the same anger and boldness." Paro just glared at him and turned to leave but was stopped by rudra's voice. "I would appreciate if you settle my money before you step of my office." Paro turned and saw his face clearly which showed so much attitude in them, she just hate it. She had only 5k and that too will be needed for hospital and medicine, she stood there helpless. Paro was about to open her mouth but she was stopped by rudra's daring statement. Rudra smirked and said "if you don't have that much money means no problem, I have a job for you.....hmmm if you wish you can do that surely I will pay well". When rudra admitted her in the hospital he checked her purse for contacting details that time he saw there was only 5k in that and also her mark certificate and resume as if she is searching for job. Rudra asked the nurse to make whole body check up for paro safety, but he never thought that will help in success of his plan. Park looked straight in his eyes and asked what type of job, even though she feared lot she perfectly hide it in her bold and from voice. Rudra stood up and looked her for a minute and told "you have to act as my wife and I will give you 10lacks...." before rudra could complete his sentence he felt a sharp pain in his cheek automatically his hand went rub it. Paro was splitting fire through her eyes. She can't take it anymore what the hell all are thinking about girls, she was hell anger but suddenly she felt a pull in next minute she was collided on hard chest. Rudra pulled her by the shoulder and made her to face him, the pain in his cheek made him to tight the grip in her shoulder. Tears formed in the eyes due to the pain in the shoulder, she cried due to pain. When rudra saw the tears in her eyes for the first time, he felt as if someone had stapes knife in his heart, he pushed her back and closed his eyes to control the anger. Paro was just looking at him with so much pain, when he opened his eyes there were no more anger. Paro turned to leave, she heated him calling her name she stopped going out but she didn't turn to look at him. She heard him telling "you need the money for some purpose, I giving it if you’re interested you can come back or settle my money before 8pm" paro didn't look back she just closed the door with bang and went out. She tried to get job as a sales girl but no one is ready to give advance money. Call from the hospital to pay the bill and the head madam didn’t get any spouncer that was running in her mind. She was not ready to accept the stupid offer but she was running out of time. She went through each and every shop, hotel and some company but no use. Time was almost up tears were flowing continuously she closed the eyes and went nearby Shiva temple show the correct path at that time her phone rang she headed rudra's voice. She closed her eyes and accepted it, rudra told "a white color car is waiting outside the temple, if you have the money give them to the driver, if not sit in the car and it will bring you to me." with that line cut. Paro took the deep breath and pared to the god to give strength and forgive her for doing the big mistake. 8.30pm car reached the rudra office and paro got down. Paro entered the office and faced rudra's back she looked at the table and there was a cash and one bank pass book. Rudra felt her present but he dint turn he only spoke "cash is ready and i have opened a bank account in your name so that you can deposits the money and can use as your wish. Now go back side there is an apartment just fresh up and come i have to discuss something." Paro blinked she never thought he will be this much series and will take step fast but she has some condition to tell what if he didn’t accept it. Rudra turned and saw when he didn't get any replay he was how much tired she is and how much dirt more over she will be hungry. Paro looked up and saw the magnetic eyes again in the morning she failed to look properly due to the anger but now she saw same pain and softness in them. Paro closed her eyes to divert her thought from those eyes, "I want to talk Mr.Rudra. i have......." She was stopped by rudra harsh tone. "I know you have some condition but before that do what I said.....go. I am waiting". After that paro didn't tell anything she just went and closed the door. Rudra saw her purse and bag lying in the bed he went and opened, he took out the bundle of 10k which he kept inside the purse today morning in the hospital. He gave her choice unknowingly to her but she failed to look it.  He also made his car to follow her because he know she is weak, she didn't take any transport in order to save money and also she didn't have food, he kept the food try in the bed and left. When paro came out she saw food plate immediately her mind asked the question how he knew that I am hungry?. Silently paro had the food because she needs the strength to walk back to the hospital she doesn’t want to waste money for taxi. After having the food she took her bag and came to met rudra. Rudra saw her entering the office without giving any time for her to speak, he spoke “i want you to act as my wife in front of my mother. I will not cross my limit and you should not ask questions to me. I will not also ask any questions to you. You can go anywhere i will not ask the details but you should be back at the home before 5 in the evening. You should not discuss about our deal to my mother. Your duty is to keep my mother happy. In my home there will be no harm ness to you, its a promise. Now you can talk.” All the line rudra spoke by seeing paro’s eyes directly. Paro got each and every line and stored it in her mind, all her fear went. Unknowingly she trusted him and said yes for the deal. “Take this money, now you can go tomorrow Moring go to the bank and deposit the cash. Tomorrow you take complete rest and mentally prepare for the deal and tell what you what to tell to your families about you future absents. Day after tomorrow morning at 8 i need you in my office we will leave from here to my home and you will stay there till i say. If you need any extra money you can ask i am ready to give but once you entered you should not back away. Is that clear parvati.” Paro looked at him by controlling her tears, she want to go to the hospital and cry her heart out, “i am ready Mr.Rudra” rudra nodded and said “you have to call me rudra and my mother name is Mala. My car is waiting down it will drop you in your place. Tomorrow morning 10 it will pick you up from there to the bank and day after tomorrow sharp 7.30 am be ready car will be waiting”. Paro nodded her head in yes and ran down by closing the car door she cried more. Not in her dream also she thought she will be acting as someone wife. In the rush paro forgot to ask him how he knows her mobile no and how he knows she was in temple. By thinking about her past she forgot to off the gas, the oil started to boil well and suddenly caught fire. Rudra was busy in checking all the details of Mr.Rajesh to throw out of him from his company at that time his phone rang he thought to cancel the call but he attended it. He heard his mothers worried voice “Rudra, paro……actually small fire accident in the kitchen……pls come” when her mom was finishing the sentence he was in his car driving home. His heart was beating faster and faster, his mouth was reap ting her name. 

 He drove the car in the extreme speed. While driving his memory went back one year before how he went to see his love after returning from states that too after 2 years. He had seen her nearly for 20 mints but she made so many disturbances in him as if they were lovers for years and years. He really dono her really name also but he was dreaming about her day and night. Same like this day he was also restless, his heart was beating with happiness but today with sadness dono what happen to her they told fire, he closed his eyes and a tear slipped from his eyes.

One year before: “Rudra came out from Mumbai airport and took a taxi to the orphanage. It was heavy traffic on that day he felt as if he was floating in the air, his happiness is uncontrollable from the moment he left his house his lips did not take rest for a second also it did the work of smile till he was seated in a taxi and at that time he saw a girl crossing the road, the same girls for whom he came to munbai. He can’t able to believe his eyes his girl is standing in front of him; he opened the door and rushed out of the taxi. He know the taxi driver will keep the bags in the hotel room, so he started to follow paro. She crossed the road and went inside the hotel; he was sure it was his paro his love in the orange and yellow color saree and looked like goddess, he also flowed her to the hotel but before he could catch her she went missing. He stopped the bell boy and told his detail and enquired about the girl in the same color saree. The bell boy wished him at the first and said “Mr. Rudra, she is Parvati, a prostitute” by hearing the word Rudra gave a hard punch in his face. “How dare u to speak about her like this…” before he could give him another punch the hotel receptionist came up and saved the bell boy on time. “Sir pls stop it, pls…i will give u the information what u need pls sir leave him” by telling that receptionist took Rudra to nearby computer desk. Rudra sat in the chair which was offered to him, he was still in the anger but he controlled himself to a great extent. The receptionist showed the cct camera video to identify the girl. Rudra saw paro walking with the happy face by seeing her smile he also smiled. Then the man spoke “sir her name is parvati”. Rudra repeated her name in his heart and smiled more widely. “Sir she is going to meet Sam sir, the great industrialist. Actually girls who are brought to this hotel by Sam sir are …….call girls” the fear of the receptionist is very well shown in his face and tone. Rudra was shell shocked to hear the statement again his anger grows more, he held the man’s collar and gave the anger look as if he is going to burn alive through his eyes. The man gathered the words and strength to speak. “sir pls u itself see, she is that type of girl only. Sam sir came and gave the instruction if a girl name parvati came and asked for him means send her to his room and i asked the name to the that madam and she told parvati and want to met sam sir so only i sent her there. If u wants u can go and verify the room no 303”. Rudra loosened the collar and left the hotel in the next moment. He walked in the direction his leg went he blamed himself for this state she is living. this word never left him to live in peace at first his mom and then lila and now paro. At the age of 10 he very well understood the meaning of his dad’s words to his mom, if you want money means you can do that type of business mala, your still beauty full and little young. In his college time he started to like lila and then he came to know that she made a bet with her so called bed friends to fall the argont rudra in her trap name love. Now paro, money is oly so much important in this world. He dono y but his heart told he is reason for this stage of life paro living. Again his heart blamed him, if he had said his love or offered a job before 2 years means she will be not suffering like this. After knowing paro did that type of job he hated himself, she is just a kid how can she do it. He went to the hotel and cried out his heart, he dono it was like a same betrayal what lila did to him, it gave some much pain when compare to the lila. That time also he blame himself for trusting lila blindly but this time he blamed himself for what paro is now. Two days he didn’t come out of the room. In the third day he took the decision that he is going to ask paro hand in marriage. If she want money means he is ready to give that and which will stop paro from doing that type of jobs. When he left the hotel he got the call from Delhi that his mother was not well and admitted in the hospital. Rudra cursed himself because he totally forgot his mom in past two days, he rushed to delhi without seeing paro. He went and took care of his mom and he decided to go according to old saying “if you love someone leave them, if they come back to you then they are only yours”. By losing the concentration in the office he lost the big deal then he made his heart as stone like before and started the mechanical life. Old type life, office to house, house to office. But her memories didn’t leave him in a peace for single minute also . He still blamed himself until he met her in the hospital. He thought it was a miracle but her face was different it was not the same as he saw her in the tree her smile faded, eyes were teary, pale face no more childish. He gathered the information and laid his plan. She needs money for Aryan treatment so only she did that type of job. His possessiveness for her made him to ask her to act as his wife, he want to keep her safe with him and to warn all the other people that she is his girl only his. So now she is in his home and also in some danger”. 

 Rudra reached home and in the entrance he saw the cook standing by his head bowed down while climbing the steps rudra  shouted “u r fired move out” without seeing him. Rudra opens the door and saw his life is lying in the bed very pale. He moved slowly without making noise toward paro by seeing her pale face tears formed in his eyes. His heart felt very heavy by seeing paro lying as a lifeless body. rudra eyes become very moister. Mala came close to him by seeing his son who is going to cry any moment. Mala touched rudra’s shoulder to tell that his wife is fine. Rudra failed to see his mom while entering the room his full concentration was only on paro when his mom touched his shoulder he came to his scene. “Rudra doctor told me something like low BP, very weak, and more stress. I dono what happen to her by seeing the fire she started to shout, she didn’t ask for help but instead of that she started to shouted by saying leave me pls leave me….., then she fainted what happen to her Rudra tell me my daughter is alright na?” Rudra was staring at her mom he could not speak no any words came, he itself dono the reason why she shouting like that. His head stared to spin but he managed it and cupped his mom’s face and told “mom nothing is happen to your daughter, i will take good care of my wife. It’s a promise. Now you pls  go and take rest, i realy cant take care two girls at the same time.”  Mala smiled and gave a last look toward paro then rudra took his mom out of the room and ordered servant to take mala to her room for rest. rudra then entered his room with heavy hearted, by seeing her lying in the bed as pale as pearl his knee got weaken. He slowly moves near paro inch by inch by gaining more strength in his heart and body. Rudra sat near her and took her palm in his and spoke to paro “u knows paro i thought i lost my love, life and every think until i saw u in the hospital. I really don’t have a word to explain my happiness after seeing u, you came back to me, you r only mine. i dono why and how but i want only one think, i need u  paro, i need my paro back that sweet little girl i need her back. I promise u whatever fear u have all i will clear. I will fight with this world to get back my old paro.” He sat near her for hrs and spoke to her as like a lover he poured his heart fully including his love for her. Then in the night paro had same dream after 2 years, She shouted fire fire in her dream and burst opens her eyes and relaxed to see the magnetic eyes staring at her. Rudra who was resting in the chair and heard paro shouting fire so he rushed to her side to comfort her but before that he felt a sudden change in his body a soft trembling hand hugging him, yes his paro had hugged him with all the force, he hugged her back without telling anything made her to cry, cry fully from her heart. He also had some tears in his eyes. After some time he made her to see him, he asked her by seeing her reddish eyes “are u all right paro” . paro who cried fully in his cheats made her to feel better. After hearing those words she looked up at his eyes which showed lots and lots of love and care. 

She was speech less for few sec and again she heard the same question she shook her head in NO and covered her face with her palms and again cried. Rudra was stun to hear and see her crying more he become restless and took a deep breath before talking to her, he removed the hand from her face and wiped her tears. “by sharing our tears we feel less pain and by sharing our happiness we feel more happiness, r u ready to share ur tears?” something from her heart asked her to share everything. “one year before i went one hotel to met the owner of the Sam Industry company. Mr.Sam had asked me to met him for job but going there oly i came to know what was his real intension was……..he had decorated the whole for wit…..with flower and candles…….he….. ……want……me ……….in his bed. He tried to force me i…… shouted for help but no one came…….i took one wine bottle and hit him, then i accidently pused the candles which caught fire. His face was half burnt……i ran out from there and on the way i collided with rajesh, yesterday he found me in the part and asked about am being in munbai. After that i lived one week at my friends hostel feared that sam will follow me, i didnt allowing any one to see me and also i didn’t come out, after that Aryan health made me to go to the orphanage. for treatment we want to go to Delhi, i willing to go out from Mumbai so i used it and came to Delhi.” Rudra wiped her last tears from her eyes and gave a big hug and a word to her from his bottom of the heart. “i will take care of everything from now on, but in return u have to give me one promise” she looked in those eyes and gave her hand to him “it is very hard to forget the past but u have to try, try it at least for………….” Rudra wants to complete the sentence by putting the word “me” but he stopped and went out from her eye sight. Paro was shocked by his behavior but also felt happiness in her heart which made her to feel light. After few mint he return with the plate of food. He made her to eat by his own hand suddenly paro stopped eating and took one piece from the plate and started to feed him “i know u also didn’t eat anything pls have it” without objecting Rudra took the food. After finishing the tablets Rudra asked paro how she knows that he also didn’t eat anything. A small blush was the answer from her which made him to fly in the sky. She slept peace fully in the bed. After 3years Rudra slept peacefully with a huge smile in his face.

One month later:
Life changed so much; paro and rudra were in good relationship. Paro was falling for his fake husband more and more. She can feel his presence without looking itself, he make her to feel special, he make her fly in the heaven, mainly he made her to overcome her past. Day starts with his face, smell, voice and ends in a same way. On the fine morning Paro saw the morning news paper and was shocked to see the two faces in the front pg. one was Sam and other one was Rajesh with the broken hand, the hand which held her hand tightly. She ran to her room to make a call to Rudra. Her heart told its Rudra who did it for her she was more than happy. She was trying a call to him but his phone was switched off. While turning from the balcony she saw one diary in the corner messed with soils of the plant. She took it and started to read her eyes become wider by seeing the name paro. Now she got the answer for all her question. She wiped her tears and ran out from the home towards her life, her love, her man, her frnd, her husband, yes she ran towards her Rudra. Rudra was getting ready for his meeting and was happy by seeing the news paper because he fulfilled his promise towards his paro. Her problem is over, it took him 25 complete days to dig the history of Sam and his business to his shock he was doing more than that, he was doing underground dealing with drug and girls and he also had the partnership with  Rajesh. He saw the broken hand, how could he leave a hand which gave his paro a pain. A small smiled appear in his lips. He switched off his mobile and went to attend the meeting. Paro ran toward his company and asked about him, she was guided to the meeting hall. She opened the door in a full force and saw her man standing in the front of the table, she throwed herself in to him and hugged tightly and started crying. Rudra was shocked by her behavior he smoothed her by telling relax, he was shocked by her look her hair was messy and she was sweating as if she was running for long time and then he heard the magical word yes he was right in hearing again she told the words “I Love U Rudra”

3 years later:

“Dad y mom and Ruki is taking this much time to dress?” Rudra was laughing by the question raised by his son. “Aryan, because there are girls its very simple” by hearing that Aryan started to laugh and Rudra also joined him in the laugh. His life changed completely they both married properly in front of mala and whole orphanage and later mala left the world very happily.  Rudra and paro adopted Aryan and they also have a daughter of their own named Rukmini. Life can’t be more than happy for they couples. Now they are getting ready to celebrate the children’s birth day. They dono aryan’s correct birth day date, so they started to celebrated ruki’s birth date as his also and now they were happy family. Still Rudra wished to change his wife’s mind about dog’s by the help of his son but his ever attempt was failed because now his wife had a strong hand in the house her name is Rukmini .
