Chapter 46

Dadi showed displeasure after learning Aarti's truth.

"Dadi we shouldn't lose faith in God." Yash tried to pacify her but she went away without hiding her disappointment.

"Give me divorce." Aarti shocked everyone.

"Are you mad?" Yash shouted at her.

"Aap kuch bhi kahiye bas mujhe divorce de dijiye." her voice was heavy which made it clear to Yash that she was saying all this out of guilt.

"I'll die instead." His eyes were red in anger.

"Yash!" She kept her palm on his mouth.

"Please don't talk like this." her voice cracked.

"Then what am I supposed to do?" He snapped her hand.

"Chhod dijiye mujhe." She repeated her wish.

"Never." He turned away to hide his moist eyes.

"I beg you." She fell on her knees only to hug his legs.

"Aarti" He yanked her up holding her arm. She cried, lowering head.

"Listen to me carefully, i will never leave you. I'm never giving you divorce." He shook her to bring her to senses.

"We are not white people who give divorce on every little argument. Hinduism doesn't have a thing called divorce or talaq, we believe in a relationship of 7 lifetime, saat janmo ka saath. Samjhi tum." He hold her nape and made her face him.

"Bolo aur kis bhasha mein samjhaun mein tumhe?" Yash wiped the little moisture from under her eyes, he doesn't know in which language she would understand. Aarti knew she could never win over him, but today she was glad to be defeated by him.

"I hate you." She pushed him hard. Yash stumbled and smiled, his own eyes shed tears which he was holding back till now.

"But I will always love you." He crushed her into his arms, she gave up and hugged him back. Suraj and Radha were glad that Yash handled Aarti. Dadi maa who was watching them and felt proud of her grandson.

Next day Aarti went for a check up. In some days AarYa went to take the report. The doctor made it clear that Aarti has an issue but not serious, she asks Yash to take care of her, and they can start the treatment after some more tests.

"Bhagwaan pe vishwas rakhiye woh jo karte hai achha hi karte hain." Doctor told them to never lose faith in God. They were relieved.

In 15 days Yash took Aarti to an orphan, where she met two cute girls. One is 3 years old Payal and another 4 year old Palak. After playing with them in the garden Aarti decides they will adopt them both because girls also accepted her as their mummy. Yash was really happy, he already met them a week back when he came here to give a donation.

In a few more days AarYa brought them home, Radha welcomed them by doing a proper grah pravesh. Suraj was also happy to meet the girls. Only Dadi maa was not very happy but she doesn't show it. Yash already made a huge, princess kind of room for both girls, with all sorts of things for them from super comfy bed, Barbie print duvet, dolls, aesthetic study table, cute dresses, shoes, tiny parce, goggles and many more things.

**********

A month passed and AarYa mornings used to be magical with Palak Payal honey sweet voice. Making them ready for school is Aarti's favourite time, she drops both girls to school then goes to the office.

It took the girls a little time but they were successful in winning Dadi's heart as well.

One day Neelam decided to meet her family and she was also curious to meet the two sisters that her brother and bhabhi adopted.

Her son Kanha was very happy to meet them both, they gelled quickly for everyone's amusement.

*********

One day Yash returns home only to see Aarti and girls playing in the garden. Payal fell down when she was running behind palak. She cried holding her knee. He quickly picked her up and took inside, Aarti came behind with Palak. She cried, hiding her small face in Aarti's chest as Yash cleaned her wound. Aarti rubs her back.

"Go make something for my doll." Yash ordered to cook while cleaning Payal's face.

"Kya khayega mera bachcha?" He asked lovingly.

"Brownie!" she said in her baby cute language forgetting her pain.

"Go, don't you hear what my princess said?" Yash looked at the cook with a fake attitude which made Aarti and Radha smile.

********

At night Payal was upset looking at her bandage, so she came to AarYa room where Aarti was sitting in front of the dressing table wearing a pink nightie. Yash was in the balcony taking some fresh air.

"Mumma Papa" She called them, catching Aarti Yash's attention.

"Oh my doll what are you doing here?" Aarti came near her.

"Haan bachcha aap yahan and where is your palak di?" Yash came into the room.

"She slept," she said.

"Aur aapko neend nahi aayi?" He picked her up. She nods no laying head on his shoulder, wrapping her tiny delicate arms around his neck.

"I'm going to tell you a story, ok aapko jaldi se neend bhi aajayegi." He dearly pecked her hair. Aarti smiled, caressing Payal's small face. Yash walked in their whole room talking sweetly. Aarti was watching them and the sight pleased her eyes. Soon payal fell asleep, Aarti gestured to Yash then only he realised. He went to the room where Palak was sleeping peacefully, he made payal lay beside her and gently tucked her in a duvet. Pecking both their foreheads he walked out of the room.
