FF: Adhure Rishtey ~ Thread 5 ~ Sneak Peak of Part 26 (30/07) - Page 31

Part 24

Arnav and Shyam were still staring at each other and so was Khushi trying to fix this matter of having her bhaiyaa present in the Hospital. She wanted to hold his hand and ask him where he was, where had he been , why didnt he ever think of coming back or contacting at least his sister once? But she couldnt do this because even though she was happy that her Bhaiyaa was fine and he was guilty for his acts, the family and most importantly Anjali had not forgiven him. The nurse came there and broke the ice between the three.

Nurse: You all can meet Mrs Anjali and her baby now.

This was enough for Arnav to rush back towards the room where his Di was shifted whereas Khushi stood with Shyam who was controlling himself from following Arnav to see his wife and baby.

Khushi: You have come till here Bhaiyaa, wont you see them once?

Shyam: No Khushi. They both are fine is all I wanted to know. I never meant to come before you all but situations made it happen. When I saw Anjali in the same temple where I was, struggling to wear her slippers back , I realised she was going to lose her balance. How was I supposed to stop myself from not coming before her? She slipped her leg and fell on the floor but luckily I managed to reach on time and help her. I was so scared Khushi. For the first time I was so scared of losing my own blood and his mother.

Same time in the Private ward

Anjali: Haan Chotte. If Shyam wouldnt have reached me on time, I would have slipped through all those temple stairs and might have been lost my life.

Arnav: Di please. Dont say all this. You are safe and so is the baby, this is all that matters.

Anjali: I know . But but where is he? DId he go without seeing his child?

Arnav: He is out with Khushi. I dont think he will come inside and see you or the baby. He is too guilty for that.

Arnav's confession that he too could notice the guilt and repentance on Shyam's face just like she did and felt was more than a proof for her that Shyam was changed now. But was that enough for her to forget everything?

_______________

Shyam: No its not enough Khushi. I saved Rani Saheba because she is my wife and mother of my baby and more than that she was needing some help in saving her child which I would have given to any other girl who was in her position. But that doesnt make anyone forgive my sins. I know its too late to even ask for it.

Khushi: Dont judge things on your own Bhaiyaa. Just talk to her once.

Shyam: Talk? I am afraid to even face her, I am afraid to meet her eyes Khushi, I cant talk . I cannot do that.

Arnav came there in the middle of this conversation. His face was still calm and without any proper happiness which he should have had knowing his Di was fine and so was the baby. He met his eyes with Shyam again.

Arnav: Di wants to see you.

That was more than expected for Shyam. Here he was not willing to face her because of his sins and she was calling him to see her?

Khushi: You should go bhaiyaa. Please dont deny.

Shyam couldnt control much. He too wanted to see his wife and baby which was a right of every husband at such situation where his wife had just delivered their baby. He took hurried steps and opened the door walking straight inside.

Khushi held Arnav's hand and hugged him from the side placing a kiss on his shoulder.

Khushi: Lagta hai ab sab theek hojayega Arnav.

Arnav didnt respond. He didnt wanted to judge anything. THis time he wished to leave it on time to decide what was right and what was wrong for them.

________________

Shyam sat beside Anjali who was staring at his face with tears in eyes. The baby was right beside her and sleeping peacefully. He wanted to touch his wife, hold his baby in arms and make love to her but he knew he was expecting too much.

Anjali: Dont you have anything to explain Shyam? Even today?

Shyam: Explain? I thought I have lost the right to even talk to you.

Anjali: Yes you do. You have lost everything and thats why you left me alone with my family in such a condition. They all told me you might have changed and even if it was true , why did you chose to leave like this? Why did you isolate yourself from me? Why did you kept yourself in dark so that none of us could trace you? Couldnt you just apolozise and repent back for all your sins? I know I wanted Divorce but when I thought of giving it a chance again after you submitted all the legal papers of my property back to Khushi, why didnt you realise that my decision might change and everything could be normal again? Why didnt you give our relationship a chance even after knowing I was not happy to proceed? Why you left me alone at such a needed stage of my life?

She was already crying and he was too much hurt seeing her. He lowered his head before Anjali, holding her hand and mumbled.

Shyam: I am sorry Rani Saheba. I was scared to ask for forgiveness . Earlier I never realised my fault and when I did , I was worried of rejection from you. I know I stayed away from you so that you can be happy without me, but I always had every information about your health. I was purposely hiding even when I knew Saale Sahab and Khushi were looking out for me. I was afraid of hurting you by being close but that seperation was equally torturing me every second. IPLease forgive me Rani Saheba. I dont want anything except your forgivness.

Anjali pressed his hand in hers . This one gesture was enough to convey him that she was trying her best to forget their past and forgive him. No much words were exchanged. She asked him to pick the baby in arms which he did and kissed his little daughter who was no less than a Princess. The moment was witnessed by the family including Arnav and Khushi who were more than delighted knowing Shyam and Anjali's re-union.

________________

It was a difficult decision for Shyam to come back in Shantivan and stay with his wife and baby for some days. The Dr had clearly advised rest for Anjali and hence even though Shyam didnt wish to stay in Shantivan as a Ghar Jamai anymore, he agreed for his wife and daughter , at least for some days. Happy days had started coming. The whole next week after Anjali's discharge from the hospital and her welcoming with the baby in Shantivan, Shyam was seen taking the best care of both. He didnt waste any of his time away from both of them. THey were now his angels and he took extreme efforts in making them feel loved. Arnav and Khushi's relationship dynamics had changed too. There were many such instances when their desires over powered their controls but there were disturbances and this time too many. None of them could ever wait for that right night to come when they would be alone somewhere spending time in each others arms.

A week had passed, Khushi came inside her room holding the baby in arms. Arnav was wearing his tie getting ready for work.

Khushi: Arent you leaving soon today?

Arnav: yea. Some meetings in the morning and then whole day I will be having the Clients with me . What is my Princess 's Maami's plan for today evening?

Khushi: Maami? No Maami. I am her Bua.

Arnav: She is my Di's daughter. So technically , you are her Maami Mrs Khushi Singh Raizada. Thats what she will call you once she starts speaking.

Khushi: Jee nahi .I will be called the Bua of my little princess . Thats final.

Arnav didnt argue. He quickly pecked her cheek once drawing her closer by waist and then looked at the sleeping baby in Khushi's arms.

Arnav: Princess, just tell your Bua that your Maama is taking her out tonight. Ask her to be ready by 08:00pm.

Khushi: Out ?

Arnav: Haan. Mere saath. Akele. Darogi toh nahi??

He tickled her neck, lingering his finger purposely there. Butterflies danced inside her stomach as she realised the meaning of his words and gestures. She noded a No of not being feared of him.

Arnav : Good. So see you tonight.

Holding her nape, he once again kissed her forehead and then sharing a sweet smile left for work. She was already on cloud 9. Her share of giving him surprise was over and now it was his turn.

________________

It was evening and as informed Arnav was back home on time to pick his wife. But before that he entered his Di's room to see her and the baby. Shyam was feeding the soup to Anjali whereas the baby was in the craddle. Seeing Arnav inside ,Shyam moved a bit allowing him to sit next to Anjali and talk . He had no reasons to disturb the sibbling moment.

Shyam: I will see if your Juice is ready Rani Saheba.

Anjali didnt wanted him to leave like this and so didnt Arnav.

Arnav: Ek minute. Other than meeting Di and the baby, I have some work with you too.

Shyam: Me?

Arnav handed some papers to his sister whereas Shyam was constantly watching the two getting more confused .

Arnav: Di as you wanted, the Divorce procedure is squashed since you both have decided to spend the rest of the life together with the baby.

Anjali: Thanks Chotte.

Shyam was happy too. He knew all such formalities Arnav would always give a priority as it was related to his Di. Arnav then came to Shyam and handed some other legal papers to him.

Shyam: What are these papers?

Arnav: Di has once again transferred the Sheesh Mahal property on her husband's name which is You.

Shyam was shocked.

Shyam: What? No. I dont need it. I had returned it to Rani Saheba not to get it back on my name. I really dont owe it .

Arnav: You can decide that with your wife but if I was to give my opinion in between then let me tell you Shyam Gupta, you might not want to own it again but you have earned it with your goodness. Di wants to go back to her real Sasuraal which is Sheesh Mahal where she always belonged. Only staying as a Bahu of that house and not as a daughter , will give her peace and happiness.

Arnav left and Shyam once again was baffled seeing how strong these sibblings were. Even after facing so much of bad days because of him in the past , they were yet again giving him his share of Love and respect. When Arnav came out of that room , he saw Khushi already standing there and from her looks he realised she heard everything. She came to him and entwined his fingers with hers feeling proud.

Arnav: Chale? I gave Shyam what he deserved and now its your turn Khushi.

Before she could react, he picked her in arms and carried her all the way to his car which was waiting to drive them to their perfect destination.
