Part-11
Prachi couldnt believe at what she just heard.Was she imagining things.How could she?How could she get engage to the man she loves.She looked at her father questioningly but then he was just smiling to her not uttering another word.Just then she saw Milind he looked angry.It did seem like he was unaware of what was happening just like her.But then she was quick to notice the anger in his face.She was sure he wasnt happy.And that sadden her.He stared at her one more time and left the place without anyone's notice except for his friends.Prachi looked at Ayesha,knowing full well she asked her to go back of him she left hurriedly behind him.Ali and Ganpat looking them leave took one glance towards Prachi and hurried themselves out.
Soon Inder again announced that it was only the engagement announcement and the ring changing ceremony shall take place.He also announced that Prachi would only wed like her wish,after her studies complete.Inder looked at his daughter smiling were as Prachi cursed the moment she had announced her wedding to be taken place only after she complete her studies.
Milind went straight to his chawl house and with a bang shut the door indicating his friends not to disturb him further.
Usne fir se apni chal chaldi,he shouted.(he has again played his game)
Sunn raho Baba,usne fir se apni chal chaldi,screamed Milind.
Milind knew exactly who was behind this and he hated it even more.Milind knew exactly why he was doing so,and he was sure he was not letting him win.
Woh janta tha baba woh meri khushi hai,woh mere zindagi,woh mere saab kuch hai,Uska istamal karke woh mujhe neecha dekhana chahata hai,par baba main use jeetna nahi dungha,woh mujhe kabhi nahi harra sakta said Milind shutting his eyes dropping tears.
Papa,called out Prachi very softly.Though her father did announce her engagement,she was happy but still had alot of question's whose answers seemed impossible to find.
Main janta hu beta,tu mujhse kya jana chati ho said Prachi.Looking at her indicating her to come inside.
Soon Prachi was by his side kneeling down,she asked softly.Kya aap jante the papa.
Inder knew what she was going through and she had every right to know.Nahi beta main yeh baat taab tak nahi janta tha jab tak mere dost Milind k nana na mujhe yeh baat batai.
Prachi looked at him confused.Milind k nana.She was completely shocked till not all she remembers is seeing her Milind lonely then how come all of a sudden Milind had a Nana.
Inder understanding her confusion started telling her what Milinds Nana had told him.

What the hell are doing here,shouted Mallika.
Your son wanted to meet you replied Ranveer.
Ranveer i told you then and i m telling you now he is no son of mine.He was thing you force me upon.You wanted him never did i.I was n never will be his mother did you understand.Now get the hell out of my house before i throw you and then she looked at the boy and made disgusted face out of here.Before Milind could react anything,she looked at him and said in a loud whisper,Never did i imagine to give birth to such ugly child.He can never be mine.
Milind had tears in his eyes.Till the time he had come home he couldnt forget his mothers last word,He can never be mine.And that was when Milind asked his father the truth and his father told him the entire truth.
Inder stopped till then Prachi was shedding tears she was hurt to know her Milind had to go through so much.Now she understood why he hated rich girls why he taunt her for being rich.Milind had gone through alot and like her she hated Mallika the most for doing that to her son.
Inder looked at Prachi,Beta that is why Mr.Mittal wants to ask forgiveness from Milind.He found out from his detective that you were in love with him and that is when he came to and requested you for his grandson.He explained me everything.Though i was hurt before to know you were in love and didnt tell me i was happy you had choosen such a guy.Mr.Mittal had shown me his picture and when he told me Milind was man full of self-respect and he has done everything on his own till now after his fathers death it me look at the boy with pride and i agreed.
Prachi looked at her father,Papa i m sorry for not sharing what was in my heart to you.But now after knowing the truth papa i cant marry him.
Inder was shocked to hear his daughter.
Prachi knew what she said had hurted her the most but then she knew her Milind well and knew it would be the same answer as hers.
Sorry to make you people wait.And thank you to all for your comments once again.
