PART 1
The atmosphere was tensed when he stepped in the mansion , usually he was able to see his children there , his only daughter in the kitchen trying to learn something new from his mother , but today it was quite silent. The usual chattering was missing , he went to his room and saw that his wife was missing , all the things were messed up, a sign that geet was not in a good mood but why he wondered. He changed and went to check on his daughter, the lights were off and he could see a small figure curled up on the bed sobbing. Maan knew what had happened but he couldn't bring it on his own.
Khushi , darling why these lights are off , he said with a casual tone that she usually understood. But this time he couldn't saw her crying , something drastic must have happened , his daughter never cries for small things.
Khushi , are you OK darling ? He asked sitting beside her , she didn't budged like she was all lost , he touched her and she just fell in the protective arms of her father, knowing he will love her always.
What's wrong darling ? Why are you crying sweetheart ? Is everything alright. Maan panicked , khushi never cried like this.
She is not my mother , mom she isn't my biological mother isn't it dad that is the reason she hates me , she hates me because I am not her daughter.
Maan knew what geet has done this time , he was fed up with geet , why can't she just accept the truth and love khushi , she was a part of her and now an integral part of him and their life. Her behaviour , animosity with her is making him drift away from his own wife.
She is not your step mother , sweetheart and you know that , she loves you it's just she doesn't know how to show it. She is not like us , an expert in showing emotions you know.
Khushi looked at him with her doe shaped eyes , she was a true replica of geet , can't geet see that ..
Will you tell me what happened , maan asked as the sobbing was subdued and the tears were left on her face.
Nothing dad. , I think I will get some water she tried to leave but maan didn't let her , he wanted to know about the behaviour of his wife. Her attitude is getting so much hard to bear , now she is crossing her limits
Khushi , you are going to come with me from tomorrow, we will see what we have to do now. Geet has crossed the limit this time .
