Chapter 2: Heartache

Akriti looks up and see GC standing in front of her, inanger and then he turns towards Anubhav and slaps him too, but Anubhav knew he deserved this slap and looks down not meeting his eyes. “tumhari himmat kaise hui, yeh sab karne ki and abhi bhi besharamo ki tarah yaha khadi ho, aur tum looking towards Anubhav, tumse kaha tha, us din bhi aur aaj bhi aur hamesha se,ki GG is not wrong us din tumhari sangeet wale din, who kitna upset thi tumhe aur tumhari iss Akriti do dekhkar par tum mein toh sharam na ghum tha, us dinbhi tuhje kaha tha ki she loves you but cant express in words, and you took itlightly. Maan nahi bhara ho toh bata du ki Mumbai mein jab hum sab tere liye Blood find kar rahe the tab GG ne hume solution diya and she was ready to donate her blood, despite being weak.” He goes to BP and says, “jab GG khoon donate karne jaa rahi thi na tab aapki ghar ki Lakshmi ne, GG ko roka tha Khoon dene se, who us din bhi use ladai ki aur khoon dene jayi, isliye aaj aapka ladla zinda hai, warna aapki bahu ne toh pura plan kiya tha ki kuch bhi hojaaye, jaan kyun na jaaye par GG khoon nahi degi.”

Garima Bua looks at everyone and says, “bas ab bahut hua, my daughter will not cry for pity peasant like you and she will be strong and face all of you, she goes to Anubhav and says by the way Congrats, you are going tobe a father, Anubhav listening to this get so happy but what ever GB says after this sadden him more, par afsoos tumhe ek pita hone ka sukh nahi milega, tumuske haqdaar nahi ho. Aapke ghar se koi bhi meri beti se nahi mileja sivai GC,Yug and Ankit, “aap log jab bhu chahe uski Khushi mein shamil hone aa saktehai, I won’t stop you all.”

“chalti hu, yahi kehna tha, All the best aap logo ko sahi bahu mili hai, ab apko smaj mein aayeja ki Akriti cheez kya hai.” Everyone Is shocked with whatever is happening and what had happened and have a bit of regrets in their eyes except GC, yug and Ankit because they are happy for GG. “Anubhav aulad kya hoti hai, yeh tumhe abhi samaj mein nahi aayega, the journey of pregnancy which a father and mother shares, the joy, the happiness everythingyou are going to miss out and maybe everything is not your fault, it’s the wrongdoing of others which you are paying for, but youe own mistake was you didn’ttrust your love, the blind trust you should have on your partner you missed. You could not see the sadness in her eyes, she was forced earlier to get married to RV for your safety coz RV extorted with the pictures of yours from the mandir,to save your reputation she was ready to marry, but misunderstood her then also now also.” Anubhav was crying so hard and pleading GB “aap mujhe itni badi sazaa kyun de rhe ho, mujhe please GG se milne do, please mein aapki samne haath jodta hu, ek baar mujhe use milna hai, please!!” he pleads had genialityin it and so GB says “fine, hum kal lucknow se hamesha ke liye dur jaa rahehai, tum aaj sham ko ghar aake mil sakte ho, hearing that they are going awayfrom Lucknow he becomes so sad, but he knew he has to be strong for himself. Sham ko aa jaana par meri ek shart hai… everyone looks at GB and she speaks, youwill meet GG only if GC, Yug Ankit, or I will be present for your meet with her, Deal?” Manzoor hai toh jaldi bolo window of opportunity   closes in 5, 4, 3,2 and………. Okay fine, he replies, and GB gives a slide wave to the GC gang and goes from there.

As soon as Garima Bua left Anu broke down sobbing coz he just couldn’t believe that his own family, his fav BP has done this, his scattered heart was so broken that it was the loudest quiet ever, he couldn’t explained his feelings in words, all he did is gave a good look at BP and his family members and left from there, he needed fresh air, breathing was becoming hard and eyes was so moist that even the bright sun outside was dulling  for his eyes. He remembered all the good times he had spent fading away like dust. he could not hear Ankit and yugcalling his name, he was hurt, not physically but mentally and from inside he was broken, he collapsed on the side of the road because his feet had become heavy. Yug and Ankit reached on time and caught him, He saw their faces and broke down on the side of the road and Yug instantly hugged and tried to pacify him.

“Bhaiya, yeh sab mere hi saath kyun hota hai, mere apne ne mujhe apne pyaar ke juda kiya. Kyun, kyun? It was more then a question for Anu,it was the Guilt and Anger he is carrying in him. Anger-for not keeping his words to GG or GB and Guilt- because he did not trust his love and now, he must accept a harsh reality. he broke the hug and stood up and made his way to the house again. all the family members sitting in a living room was waiting for him to return. as soon as he was near the door he looked up and saw the eagerness in everyone’s eyes, he went straight and stood in front of his “so called wife” and spoke, “whatever may have happened you are a victim and a part of my lie and so I am the going to release you today. You are free to go back and not stay here because I can’t even look t your face and imagine you as victim, and as a criminal so pack your bags and get lost, I will send the annulment papers and if you make or create a fuss while signing, I will submit your recording and file a complain and send you to jail, so decide what you want Jail or your house.” She goes up to pack her belongings and as soon as sheis out if sight he turns towards GC, Yug and Ankit and says” sorry Chachu, mein aapki team ka woh player nikla jispe bharosa nahi kiya jaa sakta hai, I am sorry for everything and please give a chance to become the best layer of your team.” GC wraps his hand which was pleading and said, “dekh Anu, hum tumse naraaz nahi hai, par aaj se balki abhi se tu apni life khud decide kar, tujhe kya karna hai aur kya nahi, Apne faisle parivaarwalo ki kehne pe mat Kar, and wohi kar joh tuhje aacha lage, kyunki iss parivaar jispe tuhje bahut naaz hai,wohi parivaar ne tuhje aaj yaha la kar khada kar diya hai, Jahan ek taraf pyaaraur Aulad hai or dusri taraf sirf Andhera.” Everyone has a shame in their eyes,he said “Chachu, there is no two way, only one and that’s  the oath with darkness and I have to embrace it, whatsoever,” he wipes his tears and again speak with a glint of joy in his eyes,“but its good atleast my child will stay with the family who will love her and not have to follow society rules while growing up, and I am sure GG will a better mother, then having to stay with a father who is not worth for her/his  mother, I  get to see GG today even thou it is for last time, I want to buy gifts for my baby and GG so that she can give them to my child when she/he grows up to remember me” GC nods at him and they leave fromthere. “humse bahut badi galti ho gayi hai ji, says Badi Maa, looking at her husband, hum apne beta ko dukh aur Khushi dekh hi nahi paye, humara beta itni baar kahehum sab se ki who khush nahi hai Akriti ke saath aur use GG se pyaar hai, parhumne uski ek bhi baat nahi mani” Sahi kaha apne Jiji, says sargam “ us raatbhi party mein GG ne hum sabko samjane ki koshish ki, par humne suna hi nahi, humariwajah se aaj humara khoon dukhi hai , aur hum GG se aur Anu dono se maafi maangne ka Haq kho chuke hai”.
