hi guys...here comes chapter 3
CHAPTER 3
Meher ran down the stairs to open the door.
She told herself"Calm down...This is nothing new...Abeer is gonna turn up drunk again...create a scene and then leave...a few minutes n it will be all over...just don't lose ur calm".
But her heart told her that that night would be different.She brushed aside the thought.Either way she was gonna do what she always did these days..break his heart...yet again.The thought irked her.But what could she do...she had to do it. Little did she know Abeer was in no mood to let her break his heart right now...it was already too much broken.
She opened the door, almost rehearsing what to tell him.She would look into his eyes n tell him she wanted Ishaan to do anything with his father who turned up drunk every other day, who had heart her so mmuch...yes she would tell him they didn't need him.
As she opened the door she saw Abeer standing there..but he looked different...he wasn't drunk...he was in his senses. But it was not just that. It was the look on his face. Nor did he have that goofy grin on his face nor were his features etched with anger. It was the same broken look she had seen on his face a few hours ago. And it made her heart bleed.
She tried to put on her faade of indifference as always...but today it didn't happen so easily...n before she could succeed in his attempt Abeer had walked into the hall.Without creating a scene...or for that matter even looking at her he started up the stairs to her room where Ishaan was sleeping.
She called out slowly, almost whispering "Abeer".
But before she could say another word he turned up as if to say he knew what she wanted to say n that it wouldn't affect him today...It was message and a warning not to stop him.She knew that look of finality in his eyes. It was rare thing for him...like that day when he had come to save her from Pinky Bhai...she knew better than to fight with him at times like those when she knew he was right.So she quietly followed him.
Abeer opened the door and enterd the room to find Ishaan sleeping peacefully in the bed.It was a strange feeling. He remembered the number of nights he had spent on the same bed, sleeping in pain unaware of the existence of someone so precious to him.Blame her.
She had come to stand behind him. He quietly asked "We will wake up if I go near him".
"No..he is barely aware of what happens around him when he is sleeping...like you" she said.
He walked to the bed and sat down by his son. What a fool he had been! How hadn't he seen it!
Without his specs the little guy looked like a mirror image of hisyounger self. And he had thought he was Akshat's son.He hadn't figured out that there was another chasmish around though she didn't wear glasses anymore. And then Ishaan was so like him.Even during the engagement and the allergy incident he hadn't guessed. No wonder she made a fool of him.
He bend down to kiss his son on the forehead and held him close. The action seemed to heal his broken heart or atleast soothe the pain. Holding someone who was part him n part the person he loved the most filled him so many wonderful feeelings that he couldn't feel any pain. He hadn't felt so tranquil in the past 8 years. She had all this in the past 8 years n still she claimed to more hurt.It had to be a lie.That was all he remembered before he closed his eyes and gave himself up to a sleep full of sweet dreams holding his son close to his heart.
He had forgotten she was there. But she had been watching it all. This was her greates fear and sweetest dream. Her heart was happy though her brain warned her of the possible consequences.she saw them both sleeping peacefully and couldn't help going upto them the stroking both their heads. The two people whom she loved more than hearself...her heart n her life were here.Looking at them from the couch she barely noticed when she went to sleep.
When she opened her eyes she noticed she was n the couch. Her eyes looked for them n saw them both sleeping peacefully. Her sweet dream she told herself. But then she realized it was reality.She got up n checked the time 5:30 am. She panicked. Abeer should leave before anyone saw this.
She didn't want to have to explain specially to her bua n Akshat..
She woke him up n he gave her smile..he thought it was a dream too,Butbthe he got up sensing the reality of the situation.She didn't even start talking when he left the room.That was so unlike him.They came down together in silence.
Meher saw them all in the hall.her ma bua n him. They were all early risers.Akshat n bua looked shocked while her mom smiled seeing them together.But Abeer didn't look at any of them .He was leaving.
He was by the door when that Kabootar called his name "Abeer, I wanna talk. I know u came to see Ishaan. But we want u to stay away from him. That's why she didn't tell u" he said.
"Who r u to decide?? He is my son u idiot. I don't wanna hear another word from u" Abeer said.
Bua n Akshat looked at Meher. They wanted her to stop him.
"But I can decide Abeer. He is my son n I want u to stay away from him" she mumbled looking away.She couldn't beare to look at him n have this faade of indifference fade.
He came to her, grabbed her by the shoulder and placing his hand under her chin made him look into his eyes. She was scared. The look in his eyes was so cold. She had never seen it before.
" Do u think I even care what you want now Meher.. I always listened to what u said these past few days bcoz I felt u always cared about how I feel Meher. But u proved me wrong. You kept my son away from me. You never thought how unfair u were being to him n me. So why should I think about how u feel??" he asked.
She froze. He turned away from her.She said
"Abeer...I felt.."
He cut her in the middle "You never came gave me chance to explain nor did u explain things to me...so don't try either of those today."then his voice broke n he said "I trusted u Meher...I believed every single word u told me...I thought u only hid ur emotions but u r very straightforward in what u do...n u proved me wrong. U broke me today. I am too broken to even luv u anymore.And it wasn't just u...ur family too...even mummyji" he said.
"Abeer " her mom called.
He said "I know she didn't want me to know...but u could have told me mom".
And then wiping his tears he said "Meher, wait n watch. Now I will do what I want and u n ur family better stay stay out of my way".
With those words he left like a tornado while she watched him in tears.
