Hii, so I finally made it, posting third update for today. 

Part 35

Flashback

Year 2013

Ever since he got Sai by his side, Virat's luck shone and in just three years he was successful in eliminating all the competition in the field for Lala, Omi, Patnaik, Ismail and Anna making all 5 of them the king of their respective field and he forming a cartel with them. And through them Virat Chavan was now a known name in not just the waadi and suburban areas but in whole Mumbai. No police station left where the files related to his crimes were not found. In very short time, he transformed from 'waadi ka bhai' to 'the king maker' as everyone knew he was the mind and muscle behind all the five mafias.

And as he had already predicted, these five mafias were already started involving in one upmanship with each other, each trying to prove that he is a more important part of the cartel. Now, Virat have to start work on his alternate plan, which was, to build his own parallel network in all the core areas so that he wont be dependent on those five mafias.

Jagtap and Virat were having lunch in his duplex bunglow where he lived with Sai.

"Now what Virat? As you have asked, I have arranged for the meeting with former active gangsters in all the core areas of underworld who could replace those Lala, Omi and the others. But why would they trust you? For all we know, they may attack you, this meeting could prove dangerous." Jagtap asked as took a seat on the dining table and helped himself with two parathas while Sai served him the vegetable curry.

"The meeting can be dangerous? Really! Then why are you doing it Virat." Sai asked getting worried. Though over the time she had made her peace with his work but she still couldn't help but feel scared for him specially when he pulls up stunts like this.

"Jaan, its nothing. Everything is under control. Jagtap is just exaggerating things here." Virat replied and before Sai could argue further he distracted her by asking for water from her. She went in the kitchen to bring water bottle and glasses.

"How many times I have to tell you don't talk about any danger in front of her. She becomes worried for me." Virat chided Jagtap.

"Sorry, I forgot." Jagtap said sheepishly.

"And to answer you, I have called this meeting because its high time that we start building our own parallel network in all the fields so that if those Omi and others decides to betray us ever in future or break the cartel, we will be able to survive through our own network." Virat explained.

"But these new people trust you?" Jagtap asked.

"What choice do they have? They are out of work anyway and I am giving them this golden opportunity to work with me. Trust me, they will be far more docile then those bunch of idiots...those Omi bhau and the rest." Virat replied.

"Wow! Excellent idea." Jagtap praised.

"What were you saying? What is excellent?" Sai asked as she came with the water.

"Your food...your food is excellent." Jagtap covered up.

"Really? Then why don't you come here often for lunch and dinner with us?" Sai suggested.

"Don't say that or else like a shameless person, he will accept your offer and then always be found here....just like a kebab mein haddi between us." Virat warned her. Sai laughed at his words and Jagtap gasped totally offended by it.

"What....what are you looking at? I know besides beautiful girls, tasty food is your weakness and here you will get the both." Virat laughed while Jagtap glared at him to say such thing in front of Sai.

"What...didn't you used to find her beautiful and sing her praises all day?" Virat chuckled as he teased Jagtap while he looked down feeling embarrassed.

"Am I missing something here?" Sai asked looking at the looks they were exchanging between them.

"Yes actually...." Virat started but Jagtap held his hand to stop him.

"No, don't tell her. She will laugh at me." Jagtap requested.

"Oh come on, it was no big deal." Virat dismissed his request and started telling Sai about the inside joke.

"Before I was totally floored by you and decided to approach you, Jagtap used to like you a lot. He used to go everyday to the dance bar just to see you performing and then he will be all mesmerized and kept blabbering about how great you are and bore me everyday." Virat spilled Jagtap's little secret and earned a glare from him.

"What? I never knew that." Sai replied and laughed while Jagtap looked down embarrassed at the whole situation.

"Well, you were beautiful...I mean...you are beautiful...who wouldn't want to date you?" Jagtap replied sheepishly.

"Aww, you are so cute. You should have asked me out then before this brute decided to get me all for himself." Sai said pointing at Virat and Jagtap laughed out loud now on Virat's insult.

"Only you can say that on his face." Jagtap laughed again seeing Virat's shocked expressions.

"I cant believe you two teaming up against me." Virat commented.

"Finally, I got someone on my side against him. Where were you till now friend?" Jagtap asked and Sai gave hi- five to him.

"Now, I am here and thanks for being my friend." Sai replied.

"So, kaam toh chalta rahega ye batao ki tum dono shadi kab kar rahe ho?" Jagtap asked.

"Don't ask me. Ask her. I am fine whenever she is ready. If she says yes now then I can make arrangements for this evening also." Virat replied as he lovingly looked at Sai.

"Whats the hurry? Besides, its just a ritual....just a formality between us. We are already bound with each other for many births to come." Sai said as she put her hand on Virat's shoulder and he took her hand in his and kissed it.

Later Virat and Jagtap left after lunch to their meeting. Jagtap asked from Virat in the car, "I didn't understand Sai's point of view. If she loves you so much than why not get married and get done with it? why this....'whats the hurry...its just a ritual thing and all?"

"To be honest, even I don't know why she always says no to marriage. But I don't care also. Marriage or no marriage, I just want her in my life." Virat shrugged.

"Don't you fear that someday she might decide to leave you....I mean she has accepted your truth but she still gets uncomfortable with it sometimes. Are you sure her decision of not getting married has nothing to do with this...you know...as in...she still having second thoughts about you and this relationship?" Jagtap expressed his doubt.

Virat suddenly applied brake to the car. It stopped with screech. He was baffled by thinking of such possibility. "I already warned her. If she decides to come in my life then she will not be able to opt out of it ever in her life. She is mine...all mine. I will not allow anyone....anyone to come between us and if she betrayed me...I don't know what will I do....may be ...may be... I will burn down this whole world...whole f**king world." Virat shouted.

"Ok...relax...calm down please. I was just stating the possibility, watching out for you. I am sure Sai wont do anything like that ever." Jagtap explained.

Virat took a deep breath, "Get out of the car." Virat ordered.

"What? But we were going for that meeting." Jagtap asked.

"To hell with it. Reschedule it. I am going back." Virat said and unlocked the car door to signal Jagtap to get out and don't argue further.

Jagtap saw he looked angry and agitated and he knew better than to disturb him right now. He shouldn't have opened his mouth. May be he touched a raw nerve.

Virat took a u turn and drove as fast as possible. He trusted Sai but couldn't shake off from his mind what all Jagtap said. He was blissfully happy in his world with Sai that it never occurred to him what if she chooses to leave him one day and was that the reason she is not marrying him? She is his ...his everything...his heart beats for her....he was only existing till now, she has given life to him...his jaan...he didn't just say that but he meant it every time he calls her his jaan.

Virat kept pressing the door bell again and again till Sai opened the door.

"Virat! You are back so soon? You had some work right?" Sai asked finding him at her door. When he didn't say anything she looked at his face. He looked anxious and troubled....almost scared.

"What happened? Is everything alright?" Sai asked as she closed the door and led him inside.

In response Virat just hugged her. His hold was tighter than usual like she was his only hope he was holding on to her.

"Virat, what happened, baby tell me?" She asked again but Virat just kissed her again and again.

"You love me right? You wont leave me ever?" He managed to ask between the kisses.

"Yes....yes." Sai managed to say.

"No, tell me properly." Virat urged while cupping her face.

"Yes, I love you Virat. I wont leave you ever. How can I? I cant live without you." Sai replied looking into his eyes.

Virat was finally satisfied and kissed her again. After few minutes she felt his hand roaming at her back probably searching for the hooks of her dress to open it while his face was buried in the crook of her neck. She knew he was disturbed by something and needed her right now. She held his hand and took him to the bedroom. She turned around and moved her hair to the side so that the hooks of her dress will be clearly visible now, gesturing him to continue what he wanted to do. She loved him passionately making him forget all the worries.

"So you want to get married? That's what bothering you so much." Sai asked. They were lying in each others arms and on her insistence Virat had told her about his and Jagtap's conversation and why he became so agitated all of a sudden.

"It nothing has to do with having second thoughts about you or wanting to leave you. Its just that I don't believe in marriage. My parents were the best parents to me individually but as a married couple they were pathetic. May be I was very young at that time to understand the complexities of marriage and before I could have developed that kind of maturity I lost them. So the only married couple that I saw up close were my parents and they were not good at it. That image is so stuck in my mind that its difficult to brush it off now but if it will give you assurance then....ok...lets get married." Sai said.

"No...its ok...I don't want to force you for anything in which you don't believe and I am sorry. I got really insecure for sometime but I couldn't help it. I have lost my whole family, now I have got only you....you are my everything....I don't want to lose you." Virat said as he kissed her forehead.

"Get up, come on wear your clothes." Sai said suddenly as she got an idea.

"But why? Are we going somewhere?" Virat questioned.

"Arre, utho na, chalo taiyyar ho jao fatafat. We are going to a very important place." Sai said and almost pushed him out of bed.

She herself got ready and almost dragged Virat out of the house once he was ready. Virat was surprised that she had brought them to a temple. It was Ganpati bappa's temple, whom Sai worshipped everyday.

"Ye kya Sai, tumhe pata hai main bhagwan mein nahi maanta phir mujhe yaha kyu laayi ho?" Virat questioned.

"Tum nahi maante lekin main to manti hoon na. Aur tum achhi tarah jante ho ki main kabhi Ganpati bappa ke samne jhoot nahi bol sakti." Sai answered.

"Haan toh? Main kuch samjha nahi, tum kya kehna chahti ho?" Virat was confused.

"Chalo, wo toh tumhe andar jakar hi pata chalega." Sai said and dragged him to the temple.

There she offered her prayer to the God and then brought a pooja thali which was placed near the legs of Ganpati idol and placed her hand over a diya on it. "Shayad ye shadi ka logic mujhe kabhi samajh na aaye lekin agar tumhare liye kisi pandit/registrar ke samne ki gayi ek rasm itni jaruri hai toh chalo aaj Ganpati bappa ko sakshi mankar main tumhe vaada karti hoon."

"Kaun sa vaada?" Virat asked curiously. 

"I promise, we will be together...forever...you will always find me standing beside you....in every situation. I wont leave your side in any case. Mujhe hamesha, har mushkil mein apne sath paoge. Tumhare liye main kuch bhi kar sakti hoon jaise ki tum mere liye kuch bhi kar sakte ho. I love you so much." Sai promised.

Virat was touched by her words and gesture. She really washed away all his insecurities with her love. He was too overwhelmed to react. He took a pinch of vermillion from the plate and put it on Sai's forehead, symbolizing a practice identical to marriage. Because, for him, it was his marriage to her as she had entered in a lifelong commitment with him through her promise.

"I love you too, jaan." He said and placed a kiss on her forehead to seal the promise.
