85🥀

Hasna pov:

As we reached the destination, suddenly my heart started beating violently. I gulped my saliva in fear hearing the howling sound of a fox and on top of that, the wind was blowing so harshly.

My heart started thumping fastly while my whole body was shivering in fear, whereas my mind was screaming..

Ghost!!!!

"Darling?"

Hearing Nina's trembling voice, I looked at her shivering in the fright.

"Have you heard the s-sound?" Nina stuttered in trepidation shifting her eyes from time to time from me to the outside window checking for the sight of sudden ghost appearance..

I nodded my head in yes and in an instant Nina held my hand hastily whispering..

"Darling I think we need to head back from here. Don't know why I am feeling strange and I am getting danger vibes"

"Wind blowing.."

"Fox howling..."

"These signs are enough for the symbol of ghosts appearing.."

Nina mumbled looking at our front, back and sides which made me more frightened..

What if suddenly the ghost appeared in front of us?

What will we do!!

Feeling all jittery, I took a glimpse at the graveyard where my mother in law was resting peacefully.

Yet, out of all the places why my Elli comes here to seek solace.

Why can't he find the tranquility in me?

If he did, I don't need to come here in search of him to the cemetery which was scaring the shit out of me!!

But, Hasna may be he came here and has already left the cemetery and while leaving, may be he lost his phone in there!!!

My mind screamed, asking me to leave from here indirectly whereas my heart was urging me to go in as my Elli was in there.

Shutting my eyes, I decided to listen to the mind for the first time.

" Okay don't fret, we we leave" I mumbled and started the car to leave yet soon stopped seeing a car stopping in front of us.

My heart skipped a beat as who might be the person who came at this time. I thought and glanced at Nina, only to get puzzled looking at her sudden glowing face.

Furrowing my eyebrows, I averted my eyes from her to the front only to see Cabir Anna, Pari and Rishi sir emerging out from the car.

"Traitor" I muttered gritting my teeth yet felt a sense of relief in me.

We both went out of the car and soon they three walked towards us.

"Are you sure he is here" Cabir Anna asked me in worry.

" I hacked his phone to trace the location. It was showing here itself" I uttered in tension.

"I don't think he will stay here till midnight. He might had left.."

Cabir Anna was saying something, but suddenly a loud scream erupted through the open area making my eyes widen as saucers.

"Elli"

It's my Elli voice..

" Elli!!!!" I screamed while turning around to run inside hearing the bawl of my husband as my eyes brimmed with tears.

Though, I couldn't move as someone held me from behind by stopping me. I turned around only to see Nina and pari who was holding me tightly with their hands

" Let me go!!! My Elli is inside. He is in pain. He needs me."

I yelled trying to wiggle from their grip but they didn't let me, which made me cry in more frustration.

" No, hasna!! Cabir and Rishi will go in and will bring Daksh sir. Don't go in. It's not safe for us " Nina chided loudly.

" No, please leave me. He needs me" I sobbed trying my best to escape from their hold.

But they didn't let me instead held me more tightly..

" Stay here close up!! We will go and bring him." Cabir anna assured me without listening to my pleas and went in along with Rishi sir.

" Ahh!!!!!!!"

Hearing his loud cries, my heart couldn't able to stand it anymore and harshly pushed both of them and ran inside the graveyard ignoring the yells of my best friends.

All I heard was his bawls, who were crying like a baby and all I wanted to do right now was to embrace my husband in my arms and comfort him like a little baby.

Hurriedly, I ran towards the Aunty tombstone crossing cabir and Rishi Anna and abruptly stopped at a distance, looking at my Elli who was crying like a kid in infront of his mother who wasn't able to respond to his cries yet here my hubby was letting out all his pain in front of his mother.

Tears were falling from my eyes like a waterfall. I stepped forward slowly and placed a hand on his shoulder.

He slowly turned around with a tear stained face and looked up..

"Elli" I cried while kneeling down and back hugged him holding him tightly in my arms.

He loosely draped his arms around mine and laid his head on my shoulder while his tears were making a wet patch on the shoulder blade, I felt more tears spilling out of my eyes feeling his valuable tears on mine.

" Elli, please don't cry anymore or else Aunty will become sad by seeing your disheveled state."

" Is it?" He asked me in a childish tone by raising his head and I nodded my head in return staring at his worn out face while caressing his wet cheeks by touching my forehead with his.

As soon as I nodded, a loud thunder bhoomed and it's started raining with heavy wind. I glanced at the illuminating moon light peeking from the dark sky which was raining with heavy wind.

I smiled remembering the last time when we visited Aunty tombstone, on that day also it rained suddenly like she is witnessing us by responding with these signs.

" Aunty is indicating that she is agreeing to my words. That means, she is unhappy when you cry. So my dear wolfy, stop crying now?"

He nodded his head like a child and said..

"Mom, I won't cry anymore as it will make you feel despair. Mmm..okay rest peacefully. I won't disturb you now" He whispered and we both got up holding each other's hands by side hugging each other arms and turned around..

I saw cabir and Rishi Anna staring at both of us with tears in their eyes. However, Daksh didn't stop and continued walking with me in his arms.

Cabir anna and Rishi Anna tagged along with us. As we stepped outside the graveyard, I was welcomed with the sight of a trembling pari and Nina who was holding eachother while pressing their eyes tightly in frightened. And again opened fastly and stared at the other side of the road.

I was confused and stared at that side only to see a white cloth hanging on a branch of the tree which was looking like a ghost but it was not when we look at in particular we can find it as cloth

They again pressed their eyes in fear. Looking at their expression I burst out in a fits of laughter totally forgetting about my surroundings and situation.

Hearing my laughter, they both looked into my direction in utter scaredness..

"Darling!!!" Nina murmured with wide eyes.

"Pari, I think that ghost possessed our Hasna " Nina blurted in horror.

HaHa..

I chuckled at their words and mumbled..

Dimwits..

"It's me yaar!!! No ghost has possessed me. I am all okay" I giggled showing all my 32 at them.

"Really!!!" They both asked me feeling a little bit relaxed.

"Ofcourse!!! Daft" I said rolling my eyes at their stupid expression.

"But.."Nina was about to say something yet I interrupted her expecting what she wanted to say..

"And by the way that's not a ghost it's just a white cloth hanging over the branch of the tree " I chortled looking at their funny expression.

"Seriously ?" Pari queried further while looking at that thing and me.

"Yes!!! Look at it in particular, you will find it out by yourselves."I urged them to crosscheck it whether I am stating the truth or not.

"No need, we will believe you" They both quickly uttered making me smile.

Authors pov:

Unknown to Hasna, Someones lips curled up into an amusing smile totally forgetting about his despair. He loosens his grip on her getting mesmerised by her beautiful face afraid that he might end up taking a cold shower.

Cabir and Rishi got dumbstruck seeing Daksh's entire change in his posture and expression as still a few minutes ago he was crying yet just a smile from his wife and he became a complete different person.

Hasna pov:

" Let's go" Daksh said suddenly making me realise that where I am and shut my mouth and nodded my head in yes.

" You four go home it's already late" He added further composing his previous expression and hop into the driver seat whereas, I glanced at the four of them and smiled at them with gratefulness. Cabir and Rishi sir smiled at me yet those two lizards didn't and in return scowling at me.

I giggled again yet pressed my lips to control my laughter and got into the car. Soon, our car hit the road..

As we reached home. Elli silently walked to bed and about to lay on it but I stopped him..

"Elli go and take shower!! You are already drenched and will catch a cold if you sleep like that" I said staring at his disheveled state.

He didn't say anything and just left to washroom. I went to the balcony and stared at the dark sky filled with moon and the stars.

As I was star gazing, I heard the door closing sound and turned around only to see him coming out of the washroom wearing sweat pants and a sleeveless t-shirt while drying his wet hair with a towel looking so handsome.

I was ogling at him yet like always I caught red handed but this time he didn't tease me nor smirked like usual instead he just layed on the bed.

And like usual I didn't feel embarrassed but felt like scolding myself for ogling at him at a wrong time but how can I control my heart as it was out of my control.

I didn't said anything either and went in to the washroom to take a shower.

After taking a hot shower, I felt nice as I felt tired due to jet lag and as well as the whole faisac. I wore a loose doorman pyjamas and dried my hair with a hair dryer as I am feeling so sleepy and couldn't able to wait till it dry naturally so I dried my hair with dryer sitting infront of the mirror while staring back at my fatigued reflection.

After drying my hair, I laid on the bed and dozed off as soon as I hit the bed.

Next day morning:

Knock!! knock!!

Hearing the continuous knocking on the door..

I felt irritated by it and opened my eyes to see who the hell has interrupted my beauty sleep.

Might be my Lil brother or else who has the guts to irritate me..

I opened my eyes slowly only to realise that I am in my Elli's room.

Ignoring the knocking sound, I looked at my side only to see it as empty.

Feeling disappointed and worried about him. I quickly got up and open the door only to see those two little kiddos

"Good morning kiddos!!!" I greeted them cheerfully.

"It's not morning..it's noon now" The little boy Avi said trying to keep a stoic face but failing miserably.

"Oh!" I scratched my head childishly in front of them and was about to speak but that little boy interrupted.

"Aunty!! uncle went to hospital along with mummy. He asked us to inform you about it."

" Oh!!!" I sighed.

"And uncle also asked us to inform you that you need to take us both to the hospital" The Little girl whispered looking at the floor shyly.

"Oh okay" I responded staring at them with a smile

"And..and.." The little girl was trying to say something while raising her head at me and soon when my eyes met here she stopped speaking and stared at me in fear.

"Huh?"I chuckled at her cute little fearful face.

"Do wanna ask me something?" I asked her softly kneeling down to her Height.

"No.." the little guy said in an instant causing me to look at him in surprise yet it soon vanished hearing the little girl's words

"Uhh..uhh..uncle even asked us to inform you that you need to order KFC chicken for both us." She said licking her lips making me look at her amusingly yet when the little girl's eyes took a glance at his brother, she looked away like a scared kitten when her brother glared at her.

I giggled looking at cute kids and said..

"Is it?"I asked her with a smile feeling suspicious at her words as I knew very well about my Elli.

I don't think he will encourage them to eat that junk food.

"Hmm yes yes" They both nodded in yes.

"Okay I will get first fresh up and will think about the KFC chicken" I said getting up.

"No.no..first order KFC chicken" the little girl said making me laugh at her stubbornness to eat that fried chicken.

"Now, I knew very well that your uncle didn't said about KFC chicken, right?" I asked her and She looked down at her feet feeling guilty.

"Yes, uncle didn't said that but we wanted to eat it."The little guy said pinching his lips nervously like I will beat him for lying.

"You could have said that you both wanted to eat it instead of using your uncle's name. Do you think I won't buy you chicken if you ask me?" I asked her with warmth dripping from my throat.

They didn't say anything just staring at the floor sadly..

Enable to look at them like that any more and said..

"It's okay now, but from next time don't use someone's name if you want to do or eat anything for the approval of elders, okay? If you wanted to eat something, then just tell me directly, okay?"I told them.

They nodded in yes with a googly smile on their faces.

I chuckled and asked them their names as I forgot as I never stayed with them except the first two days of my aftermath marriage.

" My name is Ansh and my sister's name is Anshika" The little guy said.

" Okay, now both of you sit on the sofa till I get ready" I informed them and I sprinted to the washroom to freshen up.

After getting ready...I inched towards the little kiddos and said..

"Let's go down and fill our tummies in the Kfc after that we will go to the hospital" I cheered and they both grinned at me in return.

While I was descending the stairs at a normal speed but when my eyes looked at the two cuties..I literally laughed out looking at how they both are skipping the steps to go down quickly so that they can eat KFC chicken..

Haha!!! Shaking my head smiling at them, we walked out and boarded the car..

Soon, we reached KFC, and went in, ordered 2 buckets. After filling our tummies, we left for the hospital.

As soon as I reached, I was welcomed by the sight of my Elli peeling oranges whereas Akshith Anna was speaking with Karthik and Anni was chitchatting with Akka who was making orange juices.

"Dad!!"

Hearing the Lil kiddos voice, everyone turned in my direction. They both ran to their father where as Akshith Anna smiled widely at me standing up from the stool murmuring..

Choco..

I couldn't hold myself from smiling anymore and grinned like a child inching towards him and hugged him..

"Anna!!!"

"I missed my Lil sis so much" Anna whispered pecking on hair making me smile more.

"Me too" I murmured.

"Yeah I can see that" Anna snickered realising me from the hug.

"Anna!!!" I pouted cutely at him.

"Someone has stopped talking to me a long back but now suddenly she got lots of love on her anna" Anna snorted at me but his eyes were looking at me full of adoration for me as usual.

"I was wrong on showing my anger for Appa and periappa on you." I accepted my mistake staring at him guiltily.

Anna looked away knowing very well that he will melt easily if he looks at me anymore..I giggled inwardly at the fondness he has on me.

None at my home can be angry at me for one minute if they look at my guilty face even though I threw many tantrums at them. That's so advantageous for me.

"I am so sorry" I apologized sincerely, although I knew he was not angry with me from the start itself yet pretending to be.

"Anna please!!!"

"Please..please!!" I said giving my best puppy eyes while shaking his hand yet he looked away trying to hide his smile.

"Speak with me"

"Please" I looked at him presenting the best pitiful look.

"Stop blabbering and change that pitiful expression on your face. It doesn't suit my baby sister and I couldn't be able to act anymore" He smiled pulling me into his embrace saying..

"More than me your Anni has missed you so much."Anna muttered softly.

"Hmm..I know" I said nodding my head

and turned towards Anni who was already busy in glaring at me..

"Anni!!" I called her sheepishly.

"Who are you?" She asked me in irate.

"Anni!!"I whined like a little kid.

"I don't think I know you anymore"Anni yelled at me in vexation.

"Anni please sorry!!"I said while holding my ears apolitically.

" Sorry my foot!!! What wrong did I do to you that Stopped you from speaking with me. For what reason you ignored me" Anni said throwing daggers at me with her eyes.

I am dead!!!!

Eee...Hasna, use your best cards infront of your Anni. Remember, She is not like your Anna..

"Anni.."

"Don't call me that" She turned away with a humph.

"Oh ok then if you don't want to speak with me then fine by me." I uttered smiling inwardly.

"But, I pity that the latest addition of channel bag which I brought it from the US for my Anni yet looks like she doesn't want it.." I added further with a serious look.

"Really!!!"

As soon as my words flew away, a surprise voice boomed around the room.

I turned around with a grin nodding my head in yes..

"Where is it?"

"Do you have a picture of it?"

An excited Anni spoke forgetting about her anger anymore.

Haha!!!

"How can you get lured by a Materialistic things!!" My Anna said irritatingly.

"Shut up!!! I have asked you to bring it for me but u haven't yet without even a single word from my mouth, you sister has brought it for me." Anni whispered yelled at Anna to which Anna became speechless by her antics.

"No!!! she is not your sister but my first baby!!" My Anni said while inching towards me with a wide smile..long gone that Angriness in her.

"My little baby!!!" Anni cooed me like I am a kid.

" Seriously!!! Anni" I chuckled at her.

"Haan" we hugged each other and Akshith Anna laughed at our cute antics.

"Mummy, why are you crying?"

Hearing Anshika's baby voice, we broke our hug and glanced at Akka and walked towards her..

"Akka what happened?" I queried her.

"Nothing just something went in my eyes.

"Oh, I will blow it then" I said in concern.

"No it was clear now" Akka smiled at me but her eyes shown a tinge of jealous.

Why?

For what reason she is feeling jealous?

Ohoo!! Hasna..you thinking too much. May be you seen wrong..

By the way how can you analyse yourselves by seeing one's eyes..

I pep talked to myself and nodded my head turning around awkwardly as I showed my orginal form infront of every one.

Shyly my eyes travelled towards my Elli knowing very well that he might having that amusing look on his face, but I got surprised seeing his blank expression.

"I am so thankful to you choco!!"

Hearing Karthik jiju's voice, I masked my stupid expression into a normal and glanced at him feeling confused at his words.

Huh? Me? Why is he so thankful to me?

What favour I have done to him?

"You brought the truth to the light and sent those three evil persons to the jail by protecting your Elli." Karthik jiju said gratefully to me.

"Oh!it's not even a big thing, jiju. And, You don't need to be thankful to me jiju because I did everything for my husband" I said smilingly at him and in return he threw an amusing smile at me.

"Are you fine now?" I asked him further with concern.

"Mmm..by god's grace and due to my brother and best friend. I am now, choco" He replied honestly.

"Mmm.."

" Can I call you as choco like every one, right?" Karthik jiju queried me with hopeful eyes.

"Mmm..yeah why not, you are my brother in law." I chuckled at me making him laugh.

He smiled, all the while my Elli was so silent he didn't even utter a single word..

I don't know what to do anymore with him..

Karthik pov:

I stared at the cheerful girl who brought light into our dark life.

Hasna Daksh Elli Sharma!!

The apple of Sastry's family and the love of my Thambi.

As much as I heard about her from Nisha, she is beautiful with brains having a timid and docile personality.

However, I never thought that she can be an outspoken and fierce when someone touches her loved ones.

I smiled gladly at her. Without her, our family will be in chaos right now.

I shifted my eyes at my Thambi who was staring at his wife whose eyes twinkled with happiness.

Just a glimpse at her, he will forget the despair he was feeling till now as the moment he came he didn't spoke a word nor replied. Just sat there staring out side the window lost in his thoughts.

I averted my gaze from him to my wife who was crying silently looking at the brother and sister duo. I smiled bitterly as I took her away from her family breaking all her relations with her parents.

Though Akshith was speaking with both of us normally but the bonding which we had before isn't the same.

I don't think it will become like before.

Hasna pov:

The whole room was quite. There was a pin drop silence. My eyes travelled towards my Elli who was now staring outside the window with forlorn.

" Daksh, you go back home with choco and kids. I will bring Karthik to the home as the doctor said that he will get discharged in the evening" Nisha akka

" Yes, thambi. Go back and take care of my kids till we come home." Karthik replied

"Mmm" Daksh hummed in response.

"Arhm..Nisha, can we take your kids to our home. We want to spend some time with them" Anni asked akka with hopeful eyes.

" Yeah sure" Akka replied happily.

Soon Anni and anna left with the kids whereas Elli and I left silently. The whole ride to our home he haven't spoken a word.

One week passed...

Nothing changed. He never spoke a word with me and always drowned in work. Karthik got healed now and akka was feeling so happy. They both are leading a harmonious life.

Huff except me!!

I sighed as I stared at the glimmering stars on the sky..

As I was lost in thought, a loud bang brought me back from the trance. I turned around only to see exhausted Elli.

He looked at me tiredly while unbuttoning his shirt..

I inched towards him..

" Elli"

He didn't say anything and turned around but I didn't let him and hugged him from back

"I missed you" I murmured.

"Please Stop dwelling on the past Elli. I gave justice to aunty and even punished those criminals also." I whispered.

He wrapped his hands around me tenderly..

" I am so tired Pondati. I was constantly working since my mom died. I want peace pondati. I wanted to live a tranquil life like you does. Teach me na baby." He cried hugging me tightly.

" I am so tired" he chanted.

" Take me somewhere away from this cruel society who always called me an orphan. What I am even speaking..I am an orphan as none is there for me anymore. I miss mom..argh..I want solace. I only want peace now. Nothing more." He sobbed in my arms hiccuping hard.

I was dumbstruck hearing the word Orphan. How could he thinks in that way.

How could he forget that he has a wife.

Oho..hasna..it's your mistake...you made him think like that.

"Elli shh don't cry" I said patting his back while crying in his sorrow.

" I will give you everything that you missed in your whole life. Though I may not be able to give the exact motherly feeling which your Amma gave you but I promise you that I will never make you feel like an orphan again. I am so sorry Elli I wasn't able to shower love and affection on you which led you to miss your mother so much." I said feeling guilty and sad.

" You don't need to say sorry because there is no mistake of yours. When you don't have any feelings towards me then how can you shower love and adoration on me."

He uttered those words making me stun and pushed away slowly from my arms and left to the washroom leaving me in shock yet tears flowing from my eyes.

How can he say those words to me when I..

I stopped thinking and wiped my eyes and glared at the mirror.

I never knew that this dominating controlling arrogant husband of mine was so stupid!!!

He is so much of a stupid, that he couldn't see my love for him as it was easily visible to any person who witnessed me on that day, they will definitely say that I did everything because I love him.

But here, Arghh!! He is such a daft!!!!
