Part 4 updated on 25/03/21

Mansi cried looking at her son as he slept peacefully in his bed, his screams still echoing in her ears.

Her feet refused to move away from the door.

"...So the doctor told me that we have to get to the root cause of his condition only then can we hope for him to heal." Virat told them everything skipping the part where Samrat had tried to choke him. Everyone had tears in their eyes. Patralekha's eyes became moist as she heard everything.

Bhavani looked at her with pity, "Bechari Patralekha, who knows what's written in her fate. Whenever she is about to have happiness, fate snatches it away. Khandoba, hamare Samrat ko jaldi se theek kar dena... Aur Mansi, wo bechari to darwaze se hili bhi nahi hai itni der se." Bhavani looked in the direction where Mansi was.

"How will she? Bhale hi Samrat abhi so raha hai lekin uski takleef to uski ayi ko mehsoos ho hi rahi hogi na....ek bachcha bataye ya na bataye ayi ko apne bachche ki takleef dikh hi jati hai," Ashwini looked at Virat as he tried to hide the scratches.

Dhokha...nahi..

Patralekha covered her ears and sat down on the bed.

Bhavani had asked Patralekha to not stay in the same room as Samrat as he could turn violent and she had looked at her gratefully. But still she couldn't find peace in her heart.

Samrat's face appeared before her eyes. And she closed her eyes again.

"I had never thought it will happen. Kitne khush the sab. Aayi. Her son came but not like she had thought. Kyun hua aisa" Patralekha looked aside and saw her reflection in the mirror. She immediately averted her gaze.

"Oh God! I pray ki wo bas jaldi se theek ho jaye." Patralekha folded her hands.

"Maine kabhi sapne mein bhi nahi socha tha ki ek din aisa ayega jis din Samrat aisi haalat mein ghar lautke ayega." She looked into the mirror from the corner of her eyes. She was reminded of his gaze again and shivered.

She got up and drew curtain on the mirror.

"Main is pariwar ka bhala chahti hu, aur Samrat ka bhi," tears streamed down her face as she closed her eyes and slumped down on her bed again.

"Really?"

Patralekha looked up.

"Himmat rakhiye Virat Sir," Sai said as she applied cream on his neck. "Main kya karoon kuch samajh hi nahi aa raha. Mera bhai..." Virat couldn't speak anymore and hugged Sai tightly trying to get some solace.

"Dada!" Mohit stood at the door.

Virat moved away from Sai and immediately wiped away his tears.

"Tu kab aaya?" Mohit moved ahead. "Khana khaya?" Mohit didn't answer. "Safar theek to tha? Main..." Mohit stepped forward and hugged him. Virat controlled his tears.

"Sab theek ho jayega Mohit, chinta mat kar. Samrat ko kuch nahi hoga."

"Ha dada, sab theek ho jayega." Mohit patted his back. Sai smiled as she wiped her tears.

"Tu kab aaya?" Virat asked moving away.

"Bas abhi thodi der pehle. Ye sab... Kai.."

AAAAAAAAAAA...

Their conversation got interrupted as they heard a scream.
