CHAPTER 11

Maan

I cud almost feel her brkin dwn fm within n d effort she was making 2 avoid a brkdwn in front of me. I felt a helplessness like never before.. previously I cud force her 2 open up 2 me.. but today despite being her husband, atleast on paper.. my brain interfered, I dint know if I had d ryt.. but smhw wen it came to her.. twas alwaz my heart tht won.. I took her hand in mine.. comforting her.. I knew her bauji held a very important place in her life.. she had nvr gone against his wishes.. except wen it came 2 me..

"r u sure?"

"I hv consulted 3 cardiologists.. al wid d same results"

"he's still in d hospital?"

"yes.. bt he'll discharged in 2 days.."

"Oh mishty.. don't worry. He ll b fine.." n gave her a hug.. she needed it I know..

Geet

I so much needed a hug.. n though I never voiced it.. maan knew it..

It felt so warm n safe in his arms.. I so wanted to get lost in him n 4gt all my worries..

After so many yrs.. dis simple contact made me feel so wanted n special!! As I hesitatingly put my arms arnd his waist, I felt my body respond to his touch.. as like b4 n it was so easy to get lost in dis moment of weakness..

Bt tht was all it was.. a moment of weakness.. maan was nt comforting his mishty.. d sentiment was nt love bt sympathy.. I wanted none of it fm d stranger he had bcm.. I knew he wud nt bk out to comfort me in ny possible way.. bt later d regret.. no.. I want none of dis..

I slowly moved out of his embrace.. as much as it pained my heart.. I did not want ny more blaming or harsh words later.. I dont hv tht capacity ny more..

An awkward silence ensued..

He finally broke d silence..

"so wht r u planning 2 do?"

"waiting for him 2 get discharged n den I ll do whtever wil mk him happy!!'

"n wht does he want?"

"like u care.."

"mishty.."

"oh well he been makin sm demands.."

I knew her bauji well.. his demands were hardly practical.. n seeing current state I knew she had worried herself ovr it

"wht is it?"

"um.. well he wants 2 shift bk 2 hoshiarpur at d handa haveli!!"

" wht.. r u mad leaving delhi..? n d haveli is already in tatters!!"

" hw wud u know"

" ofcourse I will.. after all I pay a decent amt 2 hold it in place!!"

"wht do u mean..?"

"ur old man never hesitates in asking for finance to keep it intact.."

"wht.. bt bauji wud nvr do tht.. n y do u.."

"pay him.. it s hardly nythng.. bt dts nt d point.. just last month he was telling abt sm major leakage problem!! Hw do u think u ll manage der?"

"the care takers still stay der.. so .."

"in case u ve 4gtn lemme remind u, ur care takers r well ovr 70 n evn if dey keep d place cleaned up.. its still a very huge property for d old couple 2 handle!!"

"do u really expect me to explain tht 2 bauji?"

"is he out of his mind? Hw can he..?!!"

"maan.. he s just old.. n though we may nt tell him his conditn.. he does realize it.. n I cant say no 2 him..!.. nt nw.. if thts wht keeps him happy.. so b it!!"

I cud almost feel my temper shoot.. geet as usual nvr thot practically wen it came to people she cared 4 her.. even if it made her life hell.. n dis was her beloved bauji..

"n wht abt maahi? Wht abt her school?"

"like u care?"

"geet.. "

"luk.. dnt bother.. u nvr did.. n u need nt pretend nw.."

I had lost it by den
