Chapter 10

Chapter 10:

Author's note

[Guys, in this chapter it is mostly about anjali and khushi, about how they will develop their relation after everything they have faced till now, no arshi in this one.]

[NOCOPY]

[MEMBERSONLY]

                      Khushi got fresh, having her breakfast, she decided she can't postphone it anymore.Things are already moving in a pace she can't stop, it's better to get on with the flow.

" Khushi ki bacchi, it's now or never, "

" You call di, talk to her, talk to her about anything and everything , don't give her time to think, what is important is just talking to her even if she doesn't reply."

" It's better than this silence we have maintained till now, "

" If you become afraid in the middle than call her second time, then it won't be this frightening. "

" We have dragged this for too long khushi, you have to do it "

" See, now arnavji will laugh if he sees you being like this, as if it's impossible for you to be afraid of talking."

" Do one thing khushi, try imagining yourself as arnavji "

" Yes, that is better now, " 

" You can do it, "

" Call her NOW. "

                                                                **

                               Khushi picked up her phone and dialled di's number muttering prayers to devi maiyya.

                                    " Hey devi maiyya, raksha karna,

                                      Raksha karna devi maiyya, please "

Hearing the now familiar dial tone and di answering her phone, khushi forgot to breathe for a second.

And hearing the tentative ' khushiji ' from di felt like a lifeline.

" Di.."

Khushi stuttered into the phone..

Anjali finally hearing khushi's voice felt like the damn is about to burst open

All the things she has kept hidden in her heart till now, tore open and the tears she kept trying to holdon till now finally broke.

" Khushiji, i'm so sorry khushi ji this is all my fault, it has happened because i was unable to stand upon my feet "

" Unable to see what was right infront me, and you had to face the consequences."

" I was so stupid khushi, how could i've been so blind to what was going on around me?"

" With what was happening with my husband, With What was going on with you and chotte,"

" Everything khushi, i have been blind to everything."

" Di, listen to me..." khushi said trying to talk to her.

 Anjali cut off  khushi, saying " No khushi, listen to me.."

" How could you ever forgive me for bringing that monster in your life khushi? "

" How could you forgive me for my upbringing, for my chotte's mistakes? "

" Are we even forgivable ?  For the sins we committed against you at all? " asked anjali already feeling the heavy weight of guilt she was bearing on her soul.

" No, di please don't think like that, listen to me.." said khushi trying to interrupt her.

" Khushi, i feel ashamed of myself for all the things, i have knowingly or unknowingly committed against you khushi "

" Can you ever forgive me ? " saying this anjali cried into the phone.

" Di, please listen to me, it was never your fault di " khushi replied trying to explain her,

" This was never your mistake, how could you think that it was all your fault?"

" Because of one person our lives changed, it's not like you willingly did something to me or you have participated in shyamji's mind games di "

" You were as much victim as me, you didn't know what was going on yourself "

" It's normal to trust your husband di, he was your love, he was your life di, and you were pregnant."

" I should have told you early on, when i first came to know about shyam, "

" That my fiance and your husband are one and the same, and he was living as pg in our house"

" I was afraid for you di, i have seen what it would do to you if something happens to him."

" I didn't know what to do, once my family came to know about his true colors, they had pushed him out of the house."

" But my parents took a promise from me to keep silent, because it was jiji's wedding."

" Already once jiji's wedding was cancelled, and i didn't want to be the cause for the second time "

" And even then, i struggled with my conscious,

Buaji supported me and i decided to tell, when i came to ur house, you were struggling with ur mangalsutra and were afraid about what will happen to ur husband. "

" Seeing you then, i decided it will be better if i didn't tell you. "

" Because of my one mistake, we are now facing all this di"

" As for arnavji, di you can't take his mistakes upon yourself "

" See di, our parents are not responsible for the decisions that we make for ourselves, they will guide us, tell us what is wrong and what is right, will try to show us the right path, but they can't be responsible for the things we do."

" Just like that, you are not responsible for the mistakes your brother made "

" Arnavji is ready to make amends for all the things he did wrong, so don't worry about him "

" Di, forget everything that has happened "

" Let us have a fresh start " saying this khushi sniffed, wiping the tears that were trying to spill.

" And I missed you alot di " 

" I missed you giving birth to your rajkumari "

" How is she di? "

" Can you send me some pics of her? " changing the topic khushi asked, suddenly remembering about their rajkumari.

 Anjali sighed into the phone and said, "This is why i always liked you khushi, you are always this brave, always trying to take things in positive light."

" I missed you too khushi "

" I want to bring up my daughter just like u khushi, when are you going to come and see her?"

" I will send you her pictures "

" And I forgot to tell you this, the naming ceremony of my daughter didn't take place yet."

" And i'm giving you the honor of naming my daughter. " said anjali firmly.

Khushi replied   " Di, but how can i..?? "

" No khushi, you and my chote are going to name my daughter together, we will wait till things will settle well upon you both, but naming her will be done by both of you."

" And i don't want to listen anything you want to say in this matter, other than the name you are going to give her " declared anjali.

" Ok di, as you wish " said khushi already thinking of the names.

" So di tell me how are nani, mami, jiji and jiju? " khushi asked inquiring about the others.

" Everybody is fine khushi, all are waiting for you, the house is so dull without you here " anjali replied trying to coax her into returning soon.

Khushi laughed " Are you buttering me up, so i will come there fast di ? "

Smiling anjali told " Maybe, is it working? "

" Okay khushi, it's time to feed my daughter, please call me whenever you want to talk, i feel lonely here, if you talk it will cheer me up " said anjali watching her daughter who was about to give a ear splitting scream.

" Sure di, take care and take care of my angel too, bye di "

" Bye khushi " said anjali disconnecting the call.

Smiling khushi disconnected the call and rubbed the wetness from her eyes.

Thinking It has been a good start for this day.

Khushi left from there to take care of her daily chores of her business.
