My First Crush Happened To Be My Hubby!

Chapter 60: 60. The Unveiling

Rishi's PoV

Smirthi cannot go free. She made a fool out of me for the second time. She will pay for her deeds. I called up Karthik to gather all the documents against Smirthi to file a complaint. I went to Smirthi's home.

"Hey hi Smirthi! How are you feeling now?" Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

"I'm good, Rishi. Are you going to stay the night here?" She asked me with a full blown smile. I just wanted to choke her to death.

"I wish to, Smirthi. But you know, your doctor asked me to bring your file to him now. He just called me. I told him that you are alright. But he insisted on bringing your medical report now." I told her.

"Oh! Just a minute, Rishi." she went in.

I know she will call her doctor to cross check. I already sent Arjun there. She came with her file.

"Here Rishi, I called the doctor. I told him that I'm alright. But like you said, he wants to see the file now. I'm so sorry, Rishi. I know I'm troubling you."

"That's not a problem. You don’t worry. Take rest."

I went out with her file. I drove straight to Kishore's clinic.

"Dei, Here is the file. Just go through it and tell me how fake it is. This is proof." I gave it to Kishore.

"Wait! Let me check first."

I waited impatiently for him to tell me something. From Arjun, I knew that the doctor was helping Smirthi in her lies. The doctor we met in Chennai also lied to me. They all did this for Dhiwakar. I knew I should

not believe him. But I never knew he would go this far in ruining my life.

Krishnan uncle (Dhiwakar's dad) is very dear to our family. I should deal with Dhiwakar without his knowledge. He can wait. Now I need to trap Smirthi. She should be behind bars for her filthy mouth on my love.

"Rishi, This report is true. But it's not Smirthi's. It's someone else's. They have corrected the names for the first 3 pages of the report. They knew that common people would only go through some pages in a report. Not all." he said.

"Can we use this against Smirthi in a cheating case?" I asked him.

"Of Course you can. Now tell me what exactly happened? Why is Smirthi doing all this? What happened at your wedding?"

I told him the abstract. I'm nervous. I need to see Danya. Only she can calm my nerves. "Wow man, Your story is worth making a movie. So, you love your wife huh?! Why did you complicate by letting Smirthi in da? Show me her picture. I wanna see the girl who installed love in your rock-hard heart!"

"I know, I'm a stupid. I totally believed Smirthi when She came with her doctors’ report. I even took her to the doctor to cross check. But I'm so dumb that I took her to her doctor. The doctor scared me saying, if she gets emotional, she will go near death. I don’t love her but at the same time I don’t wish her death. But I do now." I fist bumped on the table.

"Whoa cool man, Your hand is already butchered. Your wife went to her parents thinking you are still with her. If you tell her the truth, she will come back to you, I guess. No worries. Now show me your wife."

I showed him her picture! His eyes grew bigger!

"Dei, Your wife's name is Danya right? Wow man, I never thought you will for sure marry her. Great, She will understand you for sure!" he said.

"Wait! You know my wife?"

"What? What do you mean I know her? We both know her da. Her name doesn't ring a bell on your head? Idiot, Danya! The girl you had a crush on, in our school. You can't recognize her? OMG?!"

What! Whaaatttt? God! I held my head with my hands. God, she knew me. She recognized me. She knew me from our past. She still remembered me. She said ok for this wedding because she recognized me. She didn’t say that out of compulsion. I felt like the whole building was collapsing on my head.

So, this is what she meant every time she spoke with a loose end. I'm totally fucked up! I ruined it all. It should have been a beautiful story. I made it all messy. What the hell have I done? ! I hurt her so much. How the hell I couldn't recognize her!?

Ofcourse she has changed a lot. From a peacock neck colored pinafore, two braids with ribbon girl to a gorgeous young woman. She was beautiful in her uniform too. But now, she is beyond describing.

"So that is why whatever small things she did, I felt like deja-vu. I felt like I had the dream before." I slapped my forehead. God!

"What? You didn’t hurt her except for Smirthi right?" he asked me. I shook my head in a No!

"I suspected her for marrying me for my wealth. I didn’t think she knew me from school. God, I'm fucked up da. I made so many mistakes. I hurt her beyond repair. I'm now scared to even face her. How am I going to bring her back?! I even slapped her today."

"You did what? You are an Idiot. Now call Ravi and ask where he dropped her. Don’t waste time. This Smirthi and Dhiwakar can wait."

He is right. I called him. But he didn’t pick up.

"Pch! He is so angry with me, Kishore! He is not picking up the call."

"Wait, let me call from my number." he dialed from his phone.

"Hello Ravi! This is Kishore here!" He put the phone on the loudspeaker.

"Hi bro! How are you? What's up?"

"Ravi, your bro is here." Kishore gave the phone to me.

"Ravi.." he cut me off.

"Don’t you know a basic thing? I didn’t pick your call. That means I don’t like to talk to you. Are you not ashamed to call from another number?" he yelled.

"Please da! Where is Danya?"

"I don’t know!" he disconnected the call. I knew he wouldn't nudge.

"He won’t tell me. She is in her friend Archana's home. Her friend, Wait!" I can find her friend’s home.

I called Chinna.

"Hello Chinna, Can you send me the numbers Danya wrote on the magazine!? Immediately please." I noted the numbers he gave me.

"I have her another friend number da. She comes here for vacation, which means she must have only a little friend here. They might know each other."

I called the number that said 'Pavithra'.

"Hello, Can I talk to Pavithra please?"

"Yes, Pavithra here. Who is this?"

"Hi! I'm Rishi. I'm Your friend Danya’s husband. Is Danya with you or with any of your friends?" I asked her.

"No sir! I haven’t talked to her in a while. Is there a problem?"

"No! Do you know someone named Archana?"

"You are scaring me, sir. What happened to Danya? Where is she?"

"Can you please come to the Shrishti clinic now?"

"I'm near that clinic only. I will be there in 5 mins."

"Ok ask for Dr. Kishore at the reception."

"Sure".

This girl got nervous. I guess she is on the roads. I don’t want her to panic. Talking in person may yield quick results. Kishore was just watching me sitting back relaxed on his chair.

"What the hell are you looking at?"

"Nothing. Never once did you recognize her? You literally came to school to see her. We left the school only after her auto leaves. How did you miss?"

"That's my fate. What else do you want me to say? Even without knowing her, I felt my heart run towards her for the first time we met. I didn’t want to tangle her in this hasty wedding. But if I stood there even a minute, I would have asked her hand in marriage when I first saw her in the marriage hall. That's why I didn’t wait for her answer."

"Everything happened for good reasons da. But you messed it up. Don’t worry. We will find her. With what you tell about her, I would say she won’t hold any grudges."

There was a door knock. Kishore said 'come in'.

I never expected to see this girl here. God, Why is this happening to me? I know I made numerous mistakes. But I need my wife now. Please show some mercy on me.

"You? You are my friend's husband? What did you do to her? Where is she now? How dare you tag along another girl with you when your wife came to my shop like no one to you? I want to see my friend now. Like right now!" she demanded.
