Confessions of the Unspoken ❤️ Hearts ❤️
Part 22
Its late evening and everyone is making their way to the hall after the feast prepared by Thoral and Birwa. Its a beautiful warm night, Santu asked Champa to open up the doors wide and the windows and to turn on the AC, she liked the feeling of the open house and watching at the clear stary night and the music of the birds putting their little babies to sleep. DM walks over and sits down next to Santu picking Suraj up into his lap and Suraj just yawns.
DM: Suraj, bohot rhatt hogi, ja sowja (its very late, go sleep)
Suraj: Neih....
Suraj yawns again and looks at DM closing his eyes and playing with his mooche and the little 
still in his hand. Santu leans over and takes the car out of his hands and holds on to it, wipes his hair to a side and undoes his top buttons of his shirt to get air on him as he was feeling warm. DM watches Santus every move, she settles herself back on the seat, DM moves a little bit closer making out he is trying to adjust himself on his chair making no space between him and Santu, his knee comes to rest next to Santu's, Santu edges closer now leaning more closer onto DM's arm and sits there looking at Suraj with her smile on her face. Santu looks up at DM, who looking at her and then they look at Suraj, he was soo quiet and looking like a little angel. In all this without their knowledge Baa and Bapuji are just watching SANRAJ and Baa happily lets out a sigh.
Bapuji: Kya Vasudha?
Baa: Kuch neih.
Bapuji: Kush?
Baa: Hmmmm, Dharamraj aur Santu kush, meih bi kush, bhass aur kuch neih chaiyeh! (SANRAJ happy, I am too happy! thats enough, I don't need anything else)
Bapuji nods his head and they both look at the picture perfect moment, SANRAJ soo comfortable with eachother that they complete eachother, fit together like a puzzle, one without the other they are incomplete. Puzzle of the family is complete and getting bigger with the new arrival in 6 months. Baa closes her eyes, tonight she will sleep blissfully, she has her husband, her children, she didn't need anything else but for their happiness and togetherness forever and that to always be apart of it.
Santu: Baa, you look very tired, its late, go and sleep its been a long day.
Baa: Ha beta, its been one long emotional day with a beautiful end to the day.
Baa and Bapuji get up and says good night to everyone, puts her hand on Santu's head and leaves the room with SANRAJ both watching Baa and Bapuji holding hands whilst walking to their bedroom. Thoral helps Santu to her bedroom whilst DM carries Suraj to his bedroom, DM smiles to himself, no lori tonight, he tucks Suraj into his bed and bends down and kisses his little boy on the forehead. Looking around the room, there was enough room for another bed, so when the baby comes and is old enough he wants Suraj to share his room with his little brother. Brothers together, share and stay together. He creeps out the room and opposite is Birwa's room, who is sitting on her bed looking into space. DM looks lovingly at his daughter, she had gone through soo much, he sits down next to Birwa and strokes her head.
Birwa: Pappa, whats wrong? did you want anything?
DM: No can't I sit and spend some time with my Birwa?
Birwa nods her head very happy. Birwa still has those nightmares, DM knew about them as often Thoral would try to calm her but when Santu returned she would sit with Birwa during the nights when she would wake up crying until she fell asleep and finally woke up the next morning in the comfort of Santu's arms. DM looked at Birwa and gave her a hug. His little girl is growing up but still that sorrow helplessness but he wanted her to forget that night and was glad that Birwa has Santu to turn to and she was finally opening up to him as Santu has encouraged it as they both went through that traumatic incident together and would help eachother out of that sadness, he was there, so was Santu and always will be.
DM: I'm very proud of you Birwa, I know that I was never there for you or your brothers and sister that year I distanced myself from you all when you needed me the most after your Maa went to Prison, I have learnt my mistake, lesson and am punishable and will accept any punishment you give me as it is your right, I am your Pappa but did not act like it, I hope one day you will forgive me and my actions and please remember that whenever you need anyone, I am always here for you.
Birwa:
tearily says 😭 Pappa, I love you, you stayed away because of my mistake, this was all my fault, please forgive me. You stayed away from us all but you came back as you believed in Maa when no one else did, you never let my Maa stay in Prison and you not only saved Maa but you also saved me from the lifetime pain that I would have caused you, Maa and everyone, Maa's presence can be felt everywhere in this house in every corner but she was soo far away and alone because of me, everything would have been ruined and for nothing, for that Arjan who was after only money, property, he wasn't even our brother but even if he was, Pappa I only did what I did to save you.
DM: Bhass bhass bhass, no crying, I am proud of you, if you didn't do what you did, then I would be dead, your Hiten Bhai would be dead and who knows what else that impostor would have done, things happen for a reason and in the end all is well, you were not at fault, you were soo young and should never have been put in that position and I blame myself for being tricked into thinking he was my Son. We have to let go of it all, we will do it together and god as my witness, you are not at fault and never ask for forgiveness for this incident again and anyone who questions you will have to answer to me 😭
DM tucks Birwa into bed and kisses her on the forehead and tells her to sleep stroking her hair, she will always be watched. DM sits down in the chair next to her bed and waits for her to fully fall asleep. Birwa feeling safe in her Pappa's protection, watchful eyes and presence and she falls into her sleep that she was deprived of, she was peaceful at her Pappa words, she knew she'd be ok and begins to dream of the good things that brings a smile to her face, upon seeing this DM satisfied gets up and leaves the room.
SANRAJ ROOM
Santu comes out the bathroom having taken a quick shower to cool herself, dressed in a soft light saree she dries her hair whilst Thoral sits reading a magazine.
Thoral: Sassumaa, can I tell you something?
Santu: Whats that?
Thoral: Your looking very beautiful, Pappa is a lucky man. Santu I have something to say, please let me say it.
Santu: Thoral, you can say anything to me.
Thoral: taking a deep breathe she begins..... I'm going to say it...you know when you weren't here, Pappa was devastated and thought about you all the time. He was like a broken man, unrecognizable to the Dharamraj Mahiyavanshi Dharampur Ki Malik and Pappa but I'm glad Pappa snapped out of his solitude and when he could no longer sit around looking at your portrait, he could not bear the separation and then it became his obsession to get you out of prison. He became stronger when he heard Birwa's cries he knew what he had believed his faith and trust was right that you were innocent and covering for someone and that someone was your own daughter, from day one Pappa backed you, defended you to everyone and called Khemi's bluff, she was never pregnant and Arjan was never Pappa's Son that shocked Khemi also but her actions were wrong and ruined all our lives as well. Pappa was so angry and told her to get out of D'Pur, we were all frightened, Baa cursed herself for letting you go, they couldn't let you be in Prison any longer, alone, scared, it was Pappa's nightmare, his was waiting for you, waiting to hear you voice, your laugh, the sounds of your payals, nothing was as it was, it was you were not here nor was Pappa and neither did he want to be.
Thoral starts crying 😭 Santu holds, comforts Thoral and wipes her eyes, Thoral brings up her hands an asks for forgiveness..
Santu please forgive me, that day I walked away from you, the biggest mistake of my life, you were not only my MIL but you were my bestfriend and I let you down, I promised that I'd be there for you but when you needed me...
Santu: Stop this, breathe, breathe, calm down....Thoral why are you blaming yourself? everyone knew I had accepted the crime and I made everyone believe me, that day I placed hatred into everyone at that time, you are not to blame. I am not angry or hold anyone responsible, the people who made the mistakes have been punished. We have all been given a second chance and instead of thinking about the past, we should look to the future (Santu pats her stomach and Thoral places her hand there with a smile) Thoral I am proud of you, you took on the responsibilities of everyone when I was not there and when everyone needed a mother, daughter, sister and you took care of your husband, this house and you did all your duties, I am proud of you. I don't want to hear any more talk of blaming yourself, ok or else I will have to punish you, I can think of some horrible jobs for you to do???
Thoral: Ok, ok, I will stop! Thanks, I and everyone are glad your back, I will be back, I made some Gulabjams for you.
Thoral leaves, feeling her heart feel soo much lighter that today she finally spoke to Santu and let her heart out, there was soo much more she wanted to say but she understood that Santu knew and she didn't need to say a word more. Santu leans back on her pillow to rest, from the corner of her eyes she sees something moving closer above her on the bed drapes, it was a BIG SPIDER with long legs, Santu gets up and looks for something to hit the spider with, she sees a duster, grabs it and climbs on to the bed and swings the duster as hard as she cam, the spider jumps down on to the bed, Santu lets out a tiny scream and starts to move backwards towards the edge of the bed losses her balance and falls backwards into DM's arms who was at the right time, walking towards their room when he noticed Santu standing on the bed thinking what is Santudi doing, moving backwards and instinctively DM rushed in time to catch her. DM grabs santu, one hand under her legs and the other around her waist. Santu's face is on DM's shoulder, arms around his neck with her hair sprawled over DM's face. They stand there silently, Santu breathing in and out with her eyes closed. DM looks through Santu's wet hair on his face taking in the smell of the shampoo breathing it in. DM sits down on the bed with Santu still in his arms now placed on his lap, Santu still in her position, she raises her head slightly afraid and embarrassed. DM moves Santu's hair off his face and puts her hair to one side of her shoulder, now they are looking into eachothers eyes, having a strong eye lock with DM running his finger over Santu's cheek, she gets shy and looks down ☺️ DM lifts Santu's face back up to look at him with a smile and then that smile turns slightly and DM looks at Santu crossly 😡
DM: Ey Santudi, what were you doing?
Santu: Malik, woh, there was a Spider, so I...
DM: A spider.......why didn't you call me, why did you get up, if something had happened to you and you fell, did you think what would happen to me if something happened to you? tell me...speak up, Bhol?!!
Santu: Malik, meih.....
DM: If I didn't come in when I did, you'd be lying there on the floor, you could of hurt yourself, I have the vision in my head (DM holding his head freaked out ) did you not listen to the Dr Kalpana? did you not listen to me? rest, rest, rest and nothing else, no work, no strain, nothing!!!
Santu: Mujeh Mufkoro Malik (forgive me Malik) I know if anything hurts me it hurts you even more, I promise I will not do anything like this again, please look at me.
Santu looks at DM, she realises she was being careless and if she was to get hurt that DM would be more hurt, much much more to see her in such a state. Santu hugs DM around the neck, DM hugs Santu back his facial expressions change from being cross to being affectionate and kiss her on the corner of her lips ☺️ to say she is forgiven. Bapuji is walking towards SANRAJ room when all of a sudden he squashes something on the floor. Bapuji stops in his tracks, rolls his eyes thinking what could it be. He holds on to the table lifts up his foot and sees that he squashed an enormous spider. Bapuji pulls a face and starts swearing to himself.
Santu lifts up her head from DM's neck and looks at DM with a puzzled face. DM helps Santu up and walks towards their door and sees Bapuji with a bowl in one hand and his sandle in the other making faces to himself and rambling on......
DM: Bapuji whats wrong? 😕
Bapuji: I was coming to give Santu these Gulabjams from Thoral which are delicious, I had 2 but don't tell Baa, she will scould me, I was hungry and...why am I telling you, you'll only tell on me...anyway then I trod on something from what I can make out it is a spider. Its still alive, I'll get rid of it.
SANRAJ just laugh 😆
Bapuji: Dharamraj take the bowl, I need to go and clean my sandles, meih chalteho, Oh Santu, listen to Dharamraj, he is a dufford at times but he is right at times, you understand, no doing anything but rest. Your Baa going to shout at me, she will be able to smell the syrup, I think I better use the guest bathroom. I can feel it, Don't tell her our secret or I will never hear the end of it.
DM: Meih dufford??? Dharamraj Mahiyavanshi Dharmpur Ki Mailk???
DM mumbling to himself and back at Bapuji just takes the bowl and says good night and closes the door goes and leans on the pillow on the bed and tells Santu to come and eat. Santu walks over and lays comfortably on DM's chest who begins to feed them to her lovingly. The bowl was filled with mouth sized Gulabjams drenched in golden syrup . DM feeds them to Santu one by one and Santu feeds to DM. After consuming them all, DM puts the bowl on the side table and turns off the light, they just lay there closing their eyes in eachothers arms and fall asleep 😍
Santu: Malik....
DM: Hmmmm
Santu: I'm hungry can you get me some pickled onions, we don't have any at home so...
DM: At this time???......tickche, Mari Santudi, Mari Maharani, Ubeyreh!
DM looks at Santu not able to refuse her, starts to get out the bed when Santu reaches out and pulls him back laughing 😆
Santu: Malik, I wanted to see if you'd actually go and get me them in the middle of the night and you....
DM pulls a face at Santu and gets back into bed and pulls her into his arms and closes his eyes, Santu in that embrace tired closes her eyes and falls asleep.
